░ Hearth ░

As requested by @random-conspiracy Two or three years ago, when I was in my 'underdog' pagan phase, revisiting Janus and Baba Iaga for the first time, I ran into the Devil in a bookshop. Not improbable- it was a rural town, close to a railway, full to the brim with the abandoned husks of churches, and wandered by the abandoned husks of the faithful. I never saw his face, but I could smell him- leather and tobacco ash, and the amber vapor of brandy. Mephistopheles, or Mephisto, is the sum of all 'sell your soul for knowledge/wealth/power' stories; his is the name given to a character in the German play Faust, generally assumed to be synonymous with the Devil. He is charming, and nihilistic, and passionately spiteful.

This incarnation of the Devil is a bright-eyed salesman- 'wouldn't you like to, wouldn't you dare to, wouldn't you give anything to have something more' - and a trickster that will only return as much as you are willing to risk. He never asked to take my soul, only that I would trust him when we came to the crossroads. He never pushed me to deceive or to steal, only to make sure that the truth was worth telling and the item worth paying for. My devotional acts were leaps of faith- ask for that pay raise, hit that publish button, approach that cute guy. Do this, and I will have my thumb on your end of the scale. Do this, and I will make sure you succeed. Do not, and I will make sure you fail. I know you want to. That was always the thing about working with him. You had to go all in, or you would never see the fruit of your labors. But I went all in, and now I have him to thank for my life as I know it. When we parted, it was on friendly terms, at least.

UPG:

He is a creature of light and smoke, liquor and gold, poison and ink, and these are all wonderful offerings for him.

He will not help a follower who has unpaid debts, to him or to anyone else. If you cannot be trusted, or have no ability, to keep your end, he will make no deals with you.

Please take everything I say at face value, do your own research on the topics I’ve presented. What works for me may not work for you. You can substitute or subtract pretty much anything as long as it’s not a major component in a spell. Make sure you are prepared fully before doing some of the ones I’ve listed and educate yourself on the ways backfiring presents itself. If you try any of these lmk I’d love to hear it!

Correspondences

Rose water, rose water, oh how I love rose water. This post is about rose water--well, water in general--and natural hair. And hair magic, of course! My natural hair journey has been...a bit of a trip. I tried all kinds of fancy products, methods, creams, oils, butters. Nothing really worked (on it's own, anyway). My hair was always dry, brittle and thinning. It’s still recovering, to be completely honest, but I’ve finally learned the secret to keep my hair soft, and glowing and healthy.

Water.

Water, water, water. Everyone will tell you that 4c hair loves water, but I don’t think they emphasize quite enough how important it is to make sure your hair is getting pretty much drenched at least once a week. I have a weekly wash day with a hydrating shampoo. From there, I deep condition with a good conditioner and oils and heat, and then seal it with a nice hair butter or cream (I’m using camille rose atm and I'ma big fan). From there I put it into 4-8 braids, and it’ll be soft, much easier to manage, and hold styles much better. For a few years I never knew my hair could be soft. And once I knew that, and knew how to keep my hair healthy, I felt safe playing with magic mixtures and tinctures to use on it. And that’s where rose water comes in.

Uses of Rosewater

Rose water is great. It smells nice, it looks nice in a glass bottle on your vanity, it’s simple to make and it’s great for you too. I love to use it on my face, and it’s nice to spritz on your sheets so you can lounge in bed like a 1950s movie star. It’s great for your hair too! It promotes growth, is anti-inflammatory and has a high vitamin content to boot. Plus, roses and magic? A match made in heaven.

Of course they can be used in love magic, so if you’re looking to attract that special someone, you’re already on the right track. Some people say roses can be used to substitute almost any flower in a spell, so it’s good as a base for almost any other spell you can think of as well. It’s perfect for glamour spells, too. Want to look beautiful? More confident? Looking to attract the right kind of attention? Rose water in your hair is a great place to start. Below is my favorite rose water hair spritz for my thirsty, thirsty 4c hair (make sure you moisturize those ends!!). There’s a couple of suggestions afterwards, too! You’ll want to start with rose water as your base, add any other liquids of your choice in smaller amounts, and some drops of your favorite hair oil. Depending on the oil you use, this would make a great facial spritz, too!

Bunny's Beauty Water

2 parts Rose Water (love, beauty)

1 part Aloe Vera Juice (success, protection, love)

A few drops of sweet almond oil (wealth, abundance, love)

A few drops of vanilla extract (love, beauty)

Avocado oil (love, beauty)

A few drops of jojoba oil (love)

Spoonful of coconut oil if you like!

Mix all of this together in a spray bottle, shake it up and use on your hair at least once a day, more likely twice. If you leave out the coconut oil, it would make an amazing face spritzer as well!

I've been using these since forever and they work incredibly! Feel free to accommodate them to what resonates with you :)

I mostly say these phrases in my mind over and over again as I'm applying a certain product, you can say them out loud as well. Playing affirmations in the background can also work really well when you're putting that intention into your makeup! （˶′◡‵˶）

As you apply highlighter: "My essence shines through"

As you apply lipstick/gloss/balm: "My words are sweet. Everyone pays attention when I'm speaking"

As you apply lipstick/gloss/balm: "My words flow perfectly. Speaking my mind perfectly comes easy for me"

As you apply mascara: "These eyes see everyone's true essence. These eyes see through facades"

As you apply blush: "I am confident and assertive"

Wear this glamour when you need to have an important conversation, or you're heading into a situation where you expect to be misunderstood or misinterpreted.

Prepare the following mixture in a small dish

A Spoonful of Honey

A Sprinkle of Dried Basil

A Few Drops of Lemon Juice

The honey for teamwork, the basil for communication and harmony, and the lemon for purification and inspiration

Place a small amount of this mixture on the tongue, visualizing the words coming out of your mouth silky smooth, sweet, and easy to digest. Wherever your words are heard, a sense of collaboration follows.

That sort of spellwork isn't really my expertise, but here's a few simple charms I've used in the past:

Enchanted Glamour Lipgloss:

Sketch out a sigil with your desired glamour - e.g. mine was "when I speak, people listen" but yours might be "my words draw in [crush's name] like a siren song". Find a lipgloss/lipstick/lipbalm/whatever that makes you feel confident. Softly trace over the sigil with the lipgloss/stick (gently of course so not to damage it), as you do visualise your desire, feel confident and empowered, command the energy you want to show to the world. Keep or dispose of the sigil however you want (I kept mine taped to my mirror for a while!)

This could be a good spell to help you attract interest during your conversations.

Simple Come to Me Spell

This is actually a small spell I used that landed me my current partner! We weren't in contact but both liked each other and I was desperate for him to reach out again, and he did the next day after casting ;)

Find something to represent yourself (I used photo of myself), on the back (if you can) draw a sigil of your desired intention (can you tell that I *really* like sigils). Place a fire safe dish on top of the image and add a small (I used a birthday candle so it wouldn't burn for long) pink candle, carve the person's name into your candle if you can (birthday candles are thin so this is hard). You can also surround this spell with crystals, rocks, heart doodles etc, anything you feel will enhance it. Now, as you light your candle, imagine the person you desire - they are that flame and as it melts down the candle they are drawing closer and closer to you. Imagine how you'll feel when you get that text from him, or how the butterflies in your stomach will flutter when he asks you out.

Pay attention to how the candle reacts - e.g. if the candle doesn't burn all the way down (and you've ruled out mundane reasons) that may be a sign of resistance and a message to disregard the spell.

Ingredients:

2tsp petroleum jelly

3 drops rose oil

1 drop collagen serum

2 drops argan oil (can replace with olive, jojoba or almond oil)

1/2 tsp coconut oil

1/4 tsp honey

Vitamin E capsule

2 drops vanilla essence for flavour (optional)

1/2tsp beeswax for added firmness (optional, use if you want a balm rather than an oil)

A sprinkle of body or edible glitter (optional)

Mix all ingredients together, slitting the vitamin E capsule open and squeezing the contents into the mix.

As you stir, say: "Lady Aphrodite, whose beauty glows, please make my lips as soft as the rose."

Put in an empty lip balm container (the one I used is from a travel sized set of empty cosmetics containers). It will be goopy at first, so put in the fridge until the coconut oil and petroleum jelly solidifies. If still goopy add more petroleum or 1/2tsp of beeswax. Apply morning and night for extra soft and rosy lips.

Coconut oil: moisturising, anti-inflammatory

Petroleum jelly: locks in moisture

Rose oil: heavily associated with Aphrodite, pleasant smell, soothing, adds a pink tint

Vanilla extract: adds flavour and scent

Argan oil: rich in vitamin E, fatty acids, moisturising

Collagen: improves elasticity and texture, moisturising

Honey: helps retain moisture, anti-inflammatory, adds sweetness, associated with Aphrodite

Vitamin E: antioxidant, healing, moisturising

A Van spell from the City which temporarily misdirects attention from you.

You will need:

Any sort of blindfold or wrap

Marker

Any paper (receipts especially)

Any fire

Something to extinguish the fire

At midnight, ready your supplies; light the fire and draw an eye on one side of the paper; on the other, write your intentions. The traditional way of phrasing this is, "Strike me from the eyes of the world." You may fill this seal with emanation (ie. channel energy into it) if you have the ability.

Draw an empty circle(s) on your body wherever you most feel the world through, be it your head, chest, hands, so on.

Blindfold yourself, then take the seal. Burn it while focusing on the darkness of the blindfold; close your eyes if it helps.

Extinguish the fire, then remove your blindfold. This spell will last from this midnight until the next, approximately; during that time, expect the world and spirits to ignore you, even be it subtly or indirectly.

Optional:

As with all City magic, you may use the ash of something smoked to empower the fire or seal, and/or you may also do so with blood. Doing either will make the act more powerful; beware this if you might need to be noticed for the following day.

This ritual is recommended for going unfound, hiding, or for any reason you would like to remain out of everyone's perception. It will not make you invisible nor entirely unnoticed; as with most magic in this world, the effects may be subtle. You may not even realize what has passed you by that otherwise may have ran into you, sought you.

For the hardcore crystal witch:

Specific harm

On a very sunny day, write on paper: "[Name Of Enemy] will [experience a great misfortune] before [date]" or similar, or use a sigil. Take a sphere of quartz, hold above the paper, and allow the sun to stream through it until the victim's name is scorched from the paper.

Harm in love

Write their name on a slip of paper. On another, write "your/their heart will not find love", similar, or use a sigil. Wrap in cloth or tinfoil with a piece of rose quartz. Unwrap to release.

(Even if you do not cleanse your crystals, I would recommend doing so after using them as described above)

For the elemental witch:

General harm

Create a vial of strong sun water, then "corrupt" with a pinch of pepper or a splash of red dye. On paper, write the name of your victim, and cast them into the vial. Shake vigorously to expedite.

Productivity-related harm

Cast a small item taken from your victim into a vial of ocean water. They now feel as if they are drowning in their responsibilities. Pour out to release.

There are always alternatives to the risk of pickpocketing items on and off of people, but this is a method I have always had success with.

For the nature witch:

Long-term harm

Healthy acorns sink in water, while rotten ones will float (most of the time). Take a floating acorn and and whisper to it its purpose. Sneak it into your victim's belongings and let it take root.

Bad luck

Paint the name of your victim in water on a maple leaf. Place the maple leaf under the candlestick of a black candle and let burn for as long as you like. Negative energy, including that of any standing hexes against you, will be captured and sent on to your victim, even if they are its originator.

Words came to mind as I stirred clockwise and I don’t remember them all exactly, but it was something like this:

“With this soup, give me protection and strength. And nourish me.”

Love spells have become increasingly popular in modern times, and for good reason. While love is an important part of life, many people find it difficult to attract the right partner. There are a few steps involved in casting a love spell. First, you need to make sure your intentions are as clear and honest as possible.

With the recent pandemic, you’re stuck at home swiping endlessly on Tinder, hoping to make a meaningful connection with someone who’s probably only judging you on your looks - but what other options do you have?

It almost has a witch wondering how to make a love spell to find the perfect person. Okay, I know what you’re thinking - aren’t love spells unethical? Well, yes. Let’s be clear - you should never perform a spell on someone that goes against their consent.

That’s why this isn’t going to be your typical love spell. Instead of directing this at a specific target, we’re going to cast this spell with the intent of attracting love to you and helping you find someone who is likely to feel the same way. Let’s get started!

Tools:

● Candleholder

● Firesafe bowl

● Matches or lighter

● Pencil and paper

Ingredients

● Himalayan pink salt

● Rose petals

● Lavender buds

Note: all of these ingredients (plus a pentagram candleholder) can be purchased in one of our witchcraft starter kits!

You can also add any other components that correspond with love and passion, such as rose quartz crystals, heart-shaped trinkets, or other small items that represent the sort of love that you’re trying to attract.

Directions:

Start by cleansing all of your tools and ingredients. You can do this by burning sage or incense or even ringing bells. Your local apothecary shop or Wicca store may have love-drawing incenses you can use to enhance that effect.

Next, write your intention down on your piece of paper. It can read something like this:

“I swiftly attract the love that meant to find me.”

Remember to write your intention in the present tense, as though you already possess or deserve it. If you say “I will…” then the universe might make you wait for it!

Fold up your intention as small as possible and set it aside later.

Lay your bowl out in a safe location, placing your candle and candleholder in the center. If you’d like, carve a love sigil on your candle or dress it in your choice of anointing oil before you continue.

Slowly add your ingredients around the candle, making sure to state your intent with each one. Here are mine, for example:

● Himalayan pink salt - to attract a romantic partner

● Rose petals - to form a profoundly passionate connection

● Lavender buds - to maintain long-lasting love

You can add anything else to the bowl that attracts love, but be careful not to overfill it with items that may catch fire. Be sure to provide ample space around your candleholder - safety first!

Finally, add the paper with your intent, speaking it again while you light your candle. If you’d like, you can carefully seal the intention with wax from your candle.

I LOVE the community emphasis on doing research, especially for beginners, in witchcraft, paganism, occultism, astrology, etc.

however, most of the resources for learning are books, and it can be pretty intense reading. Being dyslexic, i’ve found this to be inaccessible. Even audiobooks just don’t cut it for me, i’m too much of a visual & kinesthetic learner.

Ive seen a lot of people answering questions with “go read about it.” Ive even seen some attitude that the heavy readings weed out the people who are only interested because it’s “trendy.” but it’s also intimidating neurodivergent folks away.

even after i’ve read something, i may have to read it three more times before i fully understand it. I feel like i’m working double or triple time.

I’m trying to find new ways to pass on the knowledge i’m learning, so those after me have another option than to suffer through the reading like i am.

YouTube

- HearthWitch they make videos that are beginner friendly, as well as intermediate and advanced, that inform, educate, and spread awareness about witchcraft. the only drawback i can think of is that their videos can run pretty long, so those with attention deficits may struggle with these. they also have a tendency to get technical.

- Chaotic Witch Aunt well known on a witchtok, they are a fantastic resource for beginner witches, and for those just beginning or interested in deity work. their videos range from 5-20 minutes, and are not very technical or hard to understand from a beginners standpoint.

- Eadig is a witchcraft resource for beginners who does an excellent job explaining witchcraft basics to provide a foundation for baby witches. i particularly like that they have references and supplemental studying resources in the description, not all of which are reading. their content is also shorter - between 5 to 30 minutes, and i highly recommend this as a place to start. the only drawback is that they have not posted in a few months.

- The Witch of Wonderlust is a more vlog style witch who i wouldnt necessarily consider as a resource, but more as a low-energy watch for those who are burnt out or otherwise dont have the energy for something more complex.

Podcasts

disclaimer: i dont listen to a lot of witchcraft podcasts, but i have tried to compile a list of witchcraft podcasts who keep in mind closed practices. however, i can only do so much and some of these may recommend use of a closed practice that i do not condone! All of these were found on Spotify, but may be accessible elsewhere.

- Cats, Tea, and Witchcraft a witchcraft podcast aimed at beginners and those curious about it. their non-interview episodes are less than an hour and may be a better option for those with attention deficits.

- Witchcraft Off the Beaten Path is aimed at all skill levels of witchcraft and discusses abnormal or unconventional forms of witchcraft. their episodes can run a bit long however.

- Go2BOshun’s Black Witchcraft Handbook is a resource for Black witches that covers all African practices (such as hoodoo, juju, etc.) as a white witch, i have not listened to any of these episodes, but i wanted to of course leave resources for Black witches as well! this podcast is only meant for Black witches, so please do not listen if you are not Black, as it is not intended for us.

I also want to add a podcast,

Magnolias and Magic (previously known as “witchcraft with a side of salt”). I’ve listened to a few of their episodes so far and they have some interesting discussions about the witchcraft community! The ones i listened to tackled questions like “how literally should we interpret myths?” “how are we failing newcomers?” “should new witches work with deities?” and discourse topics like twin flames, intention, gate keeping, etc.

I've been struggling to find the right words or main points to make one of these posts. Since I've posted "Witchcraft for everybody: a collection of tips." I've been overwhelmed with positive feedback, so I want to do this right.

I decided to start from the topic that I'm most familiar with as a witch with a fair amount of experience: cleansing. Now, you can cleanse in multiple ways, some more complicated than others, but I'm here to show you that you can do it without having to make everything into a ritual.

Two of the most common cleansing methods require exposing the object you want to cleanse under the sunlight or the moonlight and let it soak up its energy. Although I feel like I have to advise you, since I'm making this post, about a couple of things:

Not only do these luminaries have the power to cleanse, but they charge too, so keep that in mind, you can set an intention when you put them on your windowsill;

Some crystals fade under the sun (ex. amethyst, rose quartz), so be careful if you want to sunbathe your crystals;

If you expose something to the moonlight, according to your belief, it might charge differently based on the current moon phase, so check your correspondences.

Another method that I'm sure green witches are familiar with is cleansing through the power of the earth. Now, there seems to be a bit of a misunderstanding around this method. I've seen many people simply burying their crystals in a vase, with only some earth in it. The original thought behind this specific method was to let the crystal soak up the energy coming from the ground's vibrations, but I understand that not everyone has a garden. A city-life-friendly version of this method would be to cleanse the desired object in a vase that also contains a living plant (especially if it's a purifying plant like sage or rosemary). I usually bury it entirely for three days and three nights, but you do as you see fit.

Then there's water. Using the elements to cleanse will guarantee you good results with little effort (as long as it's a base-level cleansing*). In the past, people used running water like streams or rivers. They placed the object between the river's rocks so that it wouldn't float away and asked the body of water or a Divine being to assist. Unless you live close to nature, that can be tough nowadays. Don't be afraid to use tap water; run the object under the water and ask it politely to cleanse it (remember to check if your crystals are water safe). You can also do a similar thing under the shower to cleanse yourself and your aura.

Skipping over smoke and fire cleansing (since they're intuitive and there's plenty of information on them), I want to introduce what might be a controversial method for some. Cleansing through sound is a technique in use since ancient times, but not everyone can afford a Tibetan bell or has the space to hang wind chimes. On YouTube, there are plenty of videos with purifying frequencies that you can use. You can leave the sound as background while you do other things, or you can use it to cleanse yourself directly as well as your space and crystals. The time varies, from five minutes (like meditations) to hours; you can do a quick cleanse before getting out of bed in the morning to start the day off right, no matter your energy level.

I hope I managed to fit in a fair amount of cleansing methods, based on my experience, but most of all, I hope you found it helpful.

Until next time, keep researching and stay safe <3

Unfortunately, sometimes we can’t avoid certain family members at social events. Especially with the holiday season approaching. Luckily, there are ways to protect yourself and your energy when they try to bring you down. Here’s a few things I do to protect myself. All of these are discreet and don’t scream to your family that you’re a witch.

Wear enchanted jewelry 💍

What you need

- your favorite piece of jewelry or something you wear daily

- whatever you like to use to cleanse

- a quiet space

What to do

1. Cleanse the piece(s) of jewelry you would like to enchant.

2. Take as much time as you need to meditate with your jewelry and set your intentions to protect.

3. When you feel ready wear your jewelry!

4. After the social event remember to cleanse your jewelry again to remove any negative energy it may have picked up!

5. Optional: Rub the jewelry in essential oil correlating to your intentions. For protection I recommend Lavender, Peppermint or Orange.

Protection Satchel 💫

What you need

- a satchel or pouch deep enough to hold everything

- rosemary, peppermint and lavender (however much you want to use of each)

- amethyst

- piece of paper

What to do

1. Take a moment to hold the pouch, concentrate and think of your intentions. You may also do this with each ingredient if you so choose. 

2. Keeping your intentions in mind, add rosemary, lavender, peppermint, and your amethyst to the pouch. As you add each ingredient, repeat the phrase “I am protected from all harm that comes my way.” 

3. Once ingredients are all added, take the piece of paper and write either an affirmation or a sigil for protection. Fold this piece of paper as many times as you feel needed. Hold this piece of paper for a second and think of your intentions once more. Then drop it in the pouch. 

4. Finally, once the pouch is made, place this somewhere you can keep close throughout the day i.e. a purse, a bag or your pocket. 

Wear a Sigil ✨

Wearing a sigil doesn’t need to be obvious. This is something you can wear while keeping it discreet. There are a few different ways to wear one. You can draw one somewhere on your body using marker, or draw one inside your wrist using a perfume roller, or even with your daily moisturizer. The most important thing is ensuring you charge it before wiping it away. You may also opt for just using a piece of paper and keeping it in your pocket.

●●● Glamoury II

There are aspects that you will need to develop so that you can use the Glamor technique in a useful and functional way.

— What to develop to utilize Glamour

● Meditation →Try to visualize images, situations, specific things through meditation. Train whenever possible, meditate with Gods, with elementals, with magical beings, with any entities, with egregors, etc. In meditation you can (and it is highly recommended that you do) develop self-visualization, which is essential for Glamoury.

● Concentration → You will really need to know how to disconnect from the world for even a moment. It can be developed through reading - and why not train it by studying more about witchcraft and paganism? In addition, techniques using visualization of candle flame and incense smoke often work for concentration.

● Energies → Try to deal with energies, feel them, be able to detect which energies are emanating from certain objects or people. You can try this with crystals, with stones or oracle cards, or with animals, people, plants. Although this will seem very complicated at first, you already have it in your body, but it's not developed - you know that bad feeling when you walk into a room? Or that good feeling when you talk to a certain person? This is you feeling the energies emanating from these people or places.

● Shaping energies → This is really essential. It is the ability to identify, and then be able to use, certain energies for a specific purpose. For example, using the energies of a candle's flame to shape it into the shape you wish to attach to your magic shield. Or a more functional example, shaping energies to create magical servers.

● Self-knowledge → Yes, this is the basis of magic in general, but in the case of Glamoury, there is a specific reason. Each person has an energy that emanates naturally, which can be noticed when we meet someone. You know that first impression you usually get when you have your first contact with a new person? This is a kind of natural Glamour, something that is already intrinsic to the person.

    There must be a search for self-knowledge in this case because that way we will know what our natural energy is, and then we will know how to deal with it. We can soften what already exists, or we can understand what our magical approach should be when trying to create a specific illusion.

    For example, if I have a concealment energy, the kind that I tend to go unnoticed by places, and I perform Glamoury to try to get some attention, chances are that nothing will happen, and I will be noticed in a "normal" way. This is because my energies of concealment will cancel out with those of attention.

● Self-control → Something that has already been mentioned above, but should be highlighted so that it can be developed specifically by each one. You need to be really calm, balanced and calm so that you can have the desired effect with Glamoury. If you have very strong agitation energies in you, they will prevail in your illusion - even if what you wanted was to convey calm and confidence.

● Training and practice → You will only get better and better at your Glamor illusions if you practice. So stay focused, create predetermined times or specific days, and simply practice whatever it takes.
