You Will Need:
Cinnamon Flavored Gum or Candy
Red Candle
Steps:
Light your red candle and place it before you.
Unwrap your gum or candle and hold it in your hand looking at it. “Red hot heat, make my words fire.” Repeat this a few times before putting candy or gum into mouth
Suck/chew on candy/gum focusing on the burn it leaves in your mouth, like fire. The heat of it traveling down your throat to where your voice resides and how that too begins to heat and glow like a fire.
Once candy is nearly gone (or gum is near out of flavor) blow out the candle and watch the flame as you do. Imagine that the smoke leaving it is leaving your mouth.
If needed throw out your gum at this point or finish your candy. Picture your words like fire leaving your mouth afterwards when you wish them to be more intense and intimidating
A spell between two consenting lovers to increase the passion between them.
You Will Need:
🌹 A Red Rose (fake will suffice)
🌹 2 Pieces of Rose Quartz
🌹 1 Red Candle
Steps:
🌹 cleanse your space and cleanse yourselves, set up an area where you and your lover can sit comfortably across from each other and space between you for your candle and other supplies. Make sure you both can comfortably reach each other’s dominate hands and at a good kissing distance, without having to lean over the candle (please place your candle to the side! I don’t want anyone burning themselves)
🌹 Once set up in your non-dominate hands, each of you hold a piece of rose quartz in it through the entirety of the spell. Place your rose between you both.
🌹 Light your red candle, again make sure during this spell you won’t have to lean over it or that you may knock it over with an elbow. Practice proper fire safety please. If you are on the floor put some wax paper under your candle to keep it from dripping onto the floor
🌹 Once the candle is lit, with your dominate hand, press your palm to the palm of your lover and lock fingers, look into each others eyes and one at a time speak the following: “I, (insert name), wish to express my passion for you (lover’s name), so I present my love to you with this rose, and my fiery passion for you with this candle.” The first person who says this picks up the rose upon the line mentioning the rose and holds it up between you both. When the second person says the line they reach over and hold onto the rose with the first person so that both of you should be holding the rose together by the end.
🌹 Once finishing these lines hold the rose up at about lip level give or take (depending on height distance) and say together in unison as best as you can. “And I call upon the flame of passion to strengthen between us, so that it burns brighter than before. I ask this rose, to to fuel the fire.” And lean forward together and both kiss the rose between you two gently
🌹 “May this fire continue to burn.” Then kiss each other to end the spell.
Note: If you can you may choose to burn the rose at the end of the spell in a safe place, but if you cannot you can place it in a window to dry all the same. Or do whatever you wish with it. If using a fake rose you may keep it near your bed or anywhere else to keep its influence close.

Substitutions in magick and spellwork is where you replace an ingredient for a spell with another due to lack of the listed ingredient. This is often done when a witch does not have specific plants, herbs or crystals on hand for when working a spell. This is a very common practice especially when individuals are on a budget or are still “in the forest” so unable to get specific ingredients. This is also done when a spell calls for an obscure or hard to find or even endangered herb/plant such as white sage, mugwort, nightshade, wormwood, wolfsbane and other harder to come by plants that one could not normally find in a store or local gardens.
General Substitution:
White Candles for any candle color
Rosemary for any herb/plant
Table Salt for any salt
Tap Water for any water
Clear Quartz for any crystal
Black Tea for any tea
Rose for any flower
Tobacco for any toxic herb/plant
Sage Incense for any incense
Olive Oil for any oil/carrier oil
Frankincense for any gum resin
Lemon for any citrus
Apple for any fruit
There are things in each “category” of ingredients for spells that are used for general over all substitution. Though these ingredients below can substitute for anything in their given category it does not mean that they are the best items to use for substitution in every spell. Why is that? Simply because each ingredient has different correspondences and though these items are “general” they have their own correspondences which can very much be different from what the spell is corresponding to.
An Example: Rosemary corresponds with protection, love, lust, mental powers, exorcism, purification, healing, sleep, youth. If you are using it in a spell for money it may not work as well as it would to substitute the missing herb with another herb that corresponds with money, wealth and prosperity. This is why the list above is simply for if you are in a pinch and you have absolutely nothing else to substitute in for it.
This is why it is better to go with intent based substitutions, for they tend to correspond better with the spell and are more likely to be successful. It is very easy to figure out other ingredients that work with a spell by seeing if the ingredient corresponds with the intent, such as does this crystal correspond with love in anyway? If so it is a good substitute for a love spell, if it doesn’t then it is a poor choice. This part is where you need to research yourself to ensure you are substituting things properly. Research the correspondences of what you have and see if they match with the spell you wish to find a substitute for.
Reworking
Reworking is the process of changing the actions, procedures and steps of a spell to cater to either one’s own situation or to work with ingredients that have been substituted or are missing. Reworking works hand and hand with substitution. The reason this is, is because sometimes when we substitute ingredients we can no longer use the same processes done in the spell. This is common when we substitute something such as a water safe crystal with a non-water safe crystal for a potion or substituting an edible plant with a toxic one in an edible spell.
Here is an example scenario that will show us both the process of standard substitution and reworking.
A Spell for Protection requires you to have a bowl of water and some aloe. The process of the spell is soaking the aloe in the water for a short time then rubbing the herb on your wrists and forehead. You wish to do this spell but you have come across the problem of having no aloe. Below are some examples of how to substitute with this spell and how to rework it when necessary.
Solution Example: You happen to have mint which also corresponds with protection. Mint is a non-toxic plant and it is good for your skin as well as smells quite nicely. So you easily replace the aloe leaves with mint leaves instead and go about the spell as the steps instructs. This is an example of substitution that does not require any sort of reworking.
Solution Example: You have blueberries which correspond with protection that you can use though you would rather not rub blueberries onto your skin leaving a sticky stained mess. This is where reworking is required. Blueberries are edible so instead you soak the blueberries in the water and instead eat the blueberries and then use the water to anoint yourself.
Solution Example: You have wolfsbane but it’s highly toxic and should definitely not be soaked in water, rubbed on your skin or ingested. This is a prime example of absolutely having to rework the spell for safety reasons. In this case it would perhaps be best to have the wolfsbane in a bowl and use its energy to mentally anoint yourself. This requires most likely reworking most if not all of the spell.
Reworking actions in witchcraft without substituting ingredients. This is most common due to a person’s situation or location making certain spells difficult to do. A very common example of this type of reworking would be reworking a spell to not have a burning process due to the witch being unable to use fire or burn objects due to their situation such as apartment or dorm living, lung sensitivity to smoke or having their own doubts about being able to work safely with fire due to one reason or another. Below are some suggested reworking actions for common things that some people are unable to do for one reason or another.
Substitutes for Burning: tearing/shredding, soaking in water (if safe), burying (if safe), pouring ink onto, scribbling out, erasing, crumpling or crushing, painting over, pouring wax over, cutting up via scissors, taping up
Substitutes for Ingestion: water soaking, meditation with item nearby, energy work via harnessing the item’s energy, burning (if safe), touch/holding (if safe)
Substitutes for Speaking/Chanting: thought/mental chanting, written word, gesture/sign language, listening to music with lyrics that correspond with spell/intent, air writing with finger
Reworking for Spoonies
Often spells can be too draining for those with “limited spoons” to use. In these cases, reworking a spell may often become necessary to make it easier on the witch casting it. In cases of this, certain gestures or steps may be too draining or difficult for the witch to perform due to physical or mental health. First off, this is nothing to be ashamed of, it’s okay if some things make you too uncomfortable or are just too difficult for you to do. There’s no reason to feel like you can’t do spellwork because of it. You can still do the spell by reworking the areas that you have difficulty in.
An example of this could be that a spell requires a lot of movement, gestures and chanting to do. As someone with limited energy you may not be able to exhaust so much of it by moving around like that. Instead you could examine the spell and see why that part may be required, if it is a spell to bring energy or motivation it may be added as a step to help encourage and invigorate the caster but making it difficult for you. Instead you can in this case find something that you find gives you a bit of a “pep in your step” that won’t exhaust you as much. An example may be music, listening to exhilarating and upbeat music can get the energy flowing instead so removing the chanting and dancing with loud energy filled music playing as you cast the spell is an excellent solution.
Another example may be that a witch has some lung and breathing difficulties making it very difficult for them to burn things or use incense due to it affecting their airways. In this case, the witch can examine what the spell is having them burn such as a spell for money having them burn basil and chamomile. Instead this witch can choose to soak the herbs into water or place them in a bowl near an open window to let the breeze spread their energy. Or even simply turning the spell into a sachet or jar spell instead of a burning one.
Personalization of Spells
To personalize a spell is to put your own personal touch onto it. This may include adding an additional step, adding ingredients or substituting ingredients not out of necessity but out of personal preference.
Examples of personalizing spells:
Adding the extra ingredient of rice to a money spell because you see rice as very closely related to money in your own personal practice
Adding a chant to a silent spell because you prefer chanting to get into the “witchy spirit” of the spell
Changing the spell’s written language because it is not your native one/you prefer using a different language for witchcraft
Changing the sigil in the spell to one of your personal sigils that you have a better association to the intent with
Replacing clear quartz with citrine for an energy spell because you prefer the energy of citrine over clear quartz
There are many ways to customize and personalize a spell to make it so it works better for you on a personal level. It is something that you will find easier to do with time once you have discovered the ingredients and methods of witchcraft that you prefer doing.
*note: reworking/personalizing a spell does not make it fully yours. If you wish to post this reworked/personalized spell please link it to the original or source the original seeing it was someone else’s work that you modified here and there for your own needs. It’s just polite to credit people for their work.
“It absorbs a spirit, which it then burns. By waving the flames on its arms, it puts its foes into a hypnotic trance.”
A curse to make another’s lives go numb and things they once enjoyed to feel dull. (This curse can be broken by the caster)
You will Need:
Pendulum (preferably obsidian or a dark stone/metal)
4 black candles
2 purple candles
Burning safe plate/bowl
Target’s name written on a strip of paper (
Bowl containing any of the following: cayenne pepper, chili powder, used coffee grounds, onion skin, dried garlic, catnip, poppy seeds and/or black peppercorn
Set Up:
Set up a good space for your spell to be cast. It needs to be comfortable but safe to burn your candles without risk of burning yourself or something else. Keep water or salt near you to help prevent any flare ups (only use water if no oil is on the candles or around the candles, oil fires and water do NOT mix). Cleanse yourself and your space as you feel is proper and ground/center yourself as needed.
Set up your candles up with two black candles on the outsides and the other two blacks on the inside with the purples between the outside and inside candles. Light the candles starting with the black candles outside in every other on each side, careful of not burning yourself. For small set ups a longer match or lighter is recommended.
Once all candles are lit place the bowl in front of you with candles on either side and herbs already mixed into the bowl. Once the bowl is placed you are ready to begin the spell.
Steps:
With your pendulum in your dominant hand hang it over the herbs and sway it very carefully side as to prevent it from hitting a candle or other object. Once you have a good flow going you may begin chanting: “Right, wrong, right, wrong. You have not done me any good, you have only done me wrong. For this I shall punish you. All that you love and all that brings you joy, shall only bring you emptiness, misery and void.” Repeat the last line three times.
Once you have finished the chant carefully on your fire safe plate/bowl light the name of the target you have written on fire using one of the candles of your choosing and let it burn to ash. Mix the ashes with the herbs and toss them in the trash.
Finish the spell by cleansing yourself, the area and your pendulum. Once you have well cleansed take a good long rest.
To Break Curse:
You can state ways to break the curse during your chant if you choose or determinants for it to break automatically such as “when they feel remorse” or “when they change their attitude” or you can set it to be a specific time such as “in 3 months the curse will lift.” this is all really up to you.
Bubbles are whimsical and fun mixes of Air and Water, and hold a magic of all their own. Many of us have fond memories of using bubbles s children whether it was from blowing them out in the summer breeze or baths overflowing with them.
Correspondences of Bubbles
Bubbles have several correspondences and uses when it comes to magick and witchcraft. Due to their whimsical and nostalgic nature they are often associated with inspiration, creativity, childhood, wonder and fantasy. Bubbles are also wonderful for protection, cleansing and purification spells seeing as they are often made through using soap. Due to the shape and shine of many bubbles they are often associated with scrying and psychic abilities as well.
Bubble Uses
Bubbles and Cleansing
There are various ways to use bubbles to cleanse oneself or their space. The most simple and obvious way being using soap in the shower or bath and while washing one’s self imagining any dark, heavy emotion and energy one has being being sucked up into the bubbles and foam, trapped inside them. Then as the bubbles go down the drain, visualize all that toxicity going with it.
One can also use a bubble wand and bubble liquid to remove their negativity by visualizing as you blow the bubbles that all your breath going into them is filled with the negativity you wish to remove from yourself. This method is best down outside to ensure when the bubble pops it doesn’t just re-release the negativity in your living space.
To cleanse one’s space or home with bubbles is simple. You either clean it gently where you are able to use soap or you may leave a dish of bubble liquid out overnight. Once it has set out you may dispose of it down the sink or outside via blowing bubbles.
Bubbles and Wishes
Like my previous Bubble Spell, bubbles are wonderful for wish making. Focus on the wish and intent you have. Let it build up in your chest and lungs then release it as you blow your bubbles. Watch them float up into the sky and once they burst know that your wish has been released out into the universe.
Bubble Scrying
Bubble scrying is one of my favorite methods of simple divination. While in a bath filled with bubble bath, close your eyes and focus on your energy. Use your finger to stir in the water and foam of the bubbles. Ask your question or what you seek in your mind our outloud. Once you are satisfied stop your stirring and open your eyes. Watch and focus on the way the bubbles move and wait. Once you see shapes and images in the soap that feel to have a significance remember what they are. I often use the associations used in tasseography to determine what the shapes and images mean.
Hello my dears, especially all of you young new enthusiastic witches who are curious about the world of witchcraft and the use of mysticism in your life.

I, too, was once a curious and honestly confused young witch trying to figure out where to start and how I should begin my journey. This is why I am creating this new series of guides for all of you who have found yourselves in that boat. I truly hope that these will help you greatly!
With these guides, I will be posting all sorts of information for you including vocabulary, links, resources, correspondences, exercises to practice, examples and even in some cases “homework” for you to give a try. So feel free to take notes or save these posts to your blogs for easy access. Feel free to message me or send me asks as well if you have any questions on the topics I cover. Also, to show your appreciation for these free lessons you can buy me a coffee at my Ko-fi Page as a tip, but this is not required at all.
What is a witch?
Let’s start with something simple but important for all beginners to understand. What actually is a witch? A witch is an individual who uses magick, pretty simple. They do NOT have to be female or born “into it” or Wiccan. A witch is a person who uses and practices witchcraft and Magick.
What is magick?
Magick is making an effort through energy of oneself or other types of energies to change aspects of one’s life. These changes can vary depending on the type of spells, rituals and practices you are using. The reason a “k” is used at the end of magick is simply to separate it from the word magic which is often associated with illusions and parlor tricks. Though some do still call it “magic” so it is really out of preference.
Simply put these are rules you put in place as a witch and spirit worker that all spirits working with you and residing around you are expected to follow and obey out of respect. They are like a contract that you have displayed out in the open for spirits to see. It is like posting the rules to the pool up for swimmers to look at, disobeying those rules may get you kicked from the pool and the same goes for your space and your House Rules. Spirits who disobey them are at risk of being asked to leave by you or other occupants of the house or even banished if need be.
Why have House Rules?
House Rules exist to protect you and other occupants of the home safe and make it clear to any spirit guests what is absolutely not allowed. Think of them as the first step of warding out those who you don’t want around, sure it may not deter spirits who are seeking to cause you trouble or harm but it can keep away those who you may just not get along with (though let it be noted House Rules are not a replacement for wards).
House Rules are a polite but authoritative way to make it clear your values as well. It is a good way to indirectly tell spirits in the area what you are comfortable with and what you are not comfortable with. This can help prevent poor communication between you and your guests or even companions. You may use these rules to mark what areas of the house spirits are allowed to flock and where they are not welcomed, your personal ‘codes’ on behavior, who they may and may not interact with, who they may or may not take/borrow energy from etc.
What are some common House Rules?
There are quite a few common house rules that many witches or spirit workers have (of course not all have the same house rules) which are good ones to look at and take into consideration while making your own:
Where a spirit may NOT go (bathroom, personal bedroom, safe space, etc)
Who a spirit may NOT interact with (children, pets, roommate, grandparent, parent, etc)
Whether the spirit is allowed to touch you and/or others and the specific guidelines on this
If the spirit is or is not allowed to use your energy
Whether sexual advances are welcome or not
Things a spirit is NOT permitted to do (scare individuals, loom over others, harass pets, move or knock over things, etc)
How a spirit may interact with you and how they may NOT
Your needs and expectations (such as you come first with things, the spirit does not)
What are my House Rules?
As a good reference to some of you I thought it would be nice to post what my personal House Rules are currently. Note that they are sometimes flexible depending on what spirit I am working with.
WILLOW’S HOUSE RULES FOR SPIRITS AND COMPANIONS
You are NOT permitted into the bathroom without direct invitation
You are only allowed onto the bed without invitation
You are NOT allowed in (roommate’s name)’s or (sister)’s rooms/on their beds at all
You may interact with pet but only if it is positive interaction, harassing or scaring my pet on purpose is grounds for banishment
You may NEVER harm me, my pets or roommates, this will be taken extremely seriously
You may not touch or attempt sexual things (flirting, touching, seduction) to roommate or sister
You may only touch/flirt with me per spoken permission and on very specific grounds
NEVER make sexual touches or advances to me without FULL SPOKEN PERMISSION
ANY sort of racial slurs, sexual slurs, homophobic/biphobic/acephobic, or sexist behavior will be immediate grounds for banishment
You may not interact with anything burning (candles, incense, paper, etc) without spoken permission due to fire safety
When I or another is sleeping, unless it is an emergency, please do not disturb
Guests in house are to be left alone unless otherwise told via me AND the guest
No fighting, territorial disputes or hunting of others inside or around my home this is to be done elsewhere unless otherwise stated by me or in terms of emergency, self defense, etc
No making threats or insults to each other or other spirits unless otherwise told
Sarcasm is always welcome, but to be funny not to be mean or a bully
I am willing to allow you to feed off of my energy but you MUST ask first
Do NOT drain my energy when I am sleeping, ill or on my period unless I otherwise permit it due to these times being when even I am low on energy or uncomfortable sharing
I will ALWAYS put my health and comfort first, this is my home and so my rules, I will not accept abuse from any spirit towards me or any attempts at making my home life miserable or uncomfortable, you will banished without question
If you invite other spirits over be sure they too read and agree to these rules All who do not obey these rules may and can be asked to leave or banished from my home!
How do I come up with my own House Rules?
Well start with what makes you uncomfortable, things that you don’t want them doing such as touching you or invading private spaces. Take into consideration those you live with and what they would want, most roommates wouldn’t want strangers in their rooms right? So take that into consideration. If you have pets or children, take their safety and needs into consideration as well. Make sure you put your mental and physical health first in all cases. It is your home, so therefore they need to follow your rules. Them being there does not make them the boss, you are the boss.
How to post House Rules for spirits?
There are several ways, I personally post a few printed or written up copies around my personal spaces such as on my bedroom door, near my window, on my wall, in the stairwell and near the front door inside. Posting it nice and big in places for them to see is always a good way, similar to posting signs and rules in public spaces.
Another method is to write it up and burn it to ash and keep the ash in jars or containers near entry points of your property such as windows and doors. Some also bury the notices around their property either whole, folded or as ash so that entering spirits may sense them. Putting up astral rules via energy work onto your wards similar to giant signs placed onto walls is also an option. Really, choose whatever is convenient for you.
In Conclusion
Keeping House Rules for when you work with spirits or invite them into your home is a good way to ensure there is no miscommunication about Do’s and Don’ts in your home. It’s a good start to your own personal protection and the protection of others in your home. Keeping House Rules posted is very important so that all passing spirits can see it. Make sure to make it clear that all that break them will not be taken lightly and will not be welcomed back to your home.
Here are some magickal tips for people who, like me, stim for whatever reason.
Charge your stim toys and slime in moonlight to cleanse
When playing with kinetic sand or slime focus on putting your negative feelings and energies into it as you squeeze and twist them in your fingers. Be sure to cleanse afterwards
Play with different toys, slime, sand, etc based off of their colors for easy color magick such as orange slime for motivation, green squishy for learning/education, yellow sand for inspiration, etc
Enchant your squishies, fidget cubes, spinners, tangles, etc to bring you peace of mind, relaxation, focus, motivation, or whatever else you may need it for
Use Glitter bottles for meditation and scrying
Drag sigils on your fidget spinners, so every time you use it, you activate the sigil on it
Draw sigils in kinetic sand or slime then to activate squish and squeeze it
Use plushies based off of their appearances such as what animal, food, or fruit they are based off of
When making slime, stir clockwise to focus on putting intent into the slime you are making such as for it to bring you peace of mind or focus when playing with it. Or stir it counter-clockwise for intents like banishing negative thoughts or anxiety when using the slime
I love deco slime so add in items that relate to your intent like bead color and shape, glitter color, confetti, etc
For those of us with wandering minds, use fidget toys or stim toys to help you focus when chanting, working on a spell or meditating
After an exhausting spell, ritual or curse use your stimming toy or object of choice to help relax and rest after a spell well done.
Use glitter bottles, orbs, and wands/sticks to represent the stars in the sky or other cosmic bodies for cosmic witchcraft
Glitter wands also make wonderful wands! Especially for spells related to motion, water or wind, the sky or stars and anything related to the colors in the wand
For those who love paint mixing, choose your colors based off of intent and mix them together as the spell itself
Use gifs and videos of stimming to help you during spells and keep you calm if needed or to just add added intent from the things in the videos
Chewing stim toys are great for anger relief, think about all of your frustrations and anger going into the chew stim or anythign else you wish to banish from yourself, then soak in water or cleanse in the sun/moonlight
Orbeez are great for color magic and mixing them with your fingers and hands to charge and activate the spell. Just do not ingest
Hope this helps all of my fellow stimming witches! Stimming toys, slime, sand, etc etc are all great to use in witchcraft. I personally love slime and deco-slime. I always use it after or during a spell to help me keep my focus.
Hope you all have a wonderful day dears!!! ^0^

A spell to help you heal and bring good health. (Though always be sure to seek medical care when ill or injured, this spell is to help you with proper medical care. It is not a cure all!)
You Will Need:
✨ A white feather
✨ Unakite
✨ Rosemary
✨ Rose Petals
✨ Mint
✨ White Candle
Steps:
✨ In a bowl play your herbs and flower petals. Light your white candle next to it
✨ Place your unakite into the bowl of herbs and place your feather on top of the crystals and herbs
✨ Hover your hands over the bowl and feather and focus on all of the healing energies from the crystal, candle and herbs being absorbed into the candle. Keep focusing on this as you speak
✨
“Feather white, feather of light, bring me health and bring me delight.” Repeat as many times as you need.
✨ Once you are satisfied blow out your candle and carefully move your feather through the smoke a few times, careful not to singe it on any ashes left
✨ Keep your feather near your bed or hang it on your wall to bring you good health and help you heal and recover. Cleanse it regularly with the smoke of a blown out white candle or moonlight.
It can be difficult to do witchcraft and connect to nature when stuck in a supremely urban area such as a downtown of a major city where even parks are hard to come by and collecting items there could be considered vandalism. This masterpost is to help all of you stuck witches who wish to be Forest Witches, connect with the forest or use forest related magic despite your urban setting.

Making Your Own Sanctuary
Let’s start with the simple beginnings of turning your home a bit more foresty so you can have your own sanctuary of nature in your home. Whether this be an altar, a corner of a room or even a full room is up to you and the amount of space you have to work with. In my post here I will be referring to setting up a space that would be considered big enough to sit in for meditation and spells and altar space, if you have more room than that feel free to definitely expand it!
Living on the coast or near the ocean is not an option for many people. Whether it be budgetary reasons, minors living with family, spoonie witches who need to live with caregivers, or being stuck in a landlocked state or country. Though because you have distance between you and the ocean, doesn’t mean you cannot connect to it still. Though your craft will likely not be as powerful at times as one who is practicing straight on the beach, never think that you cannot use the energies of the great oceans in your craft just because you are stuck somewhere else. With this masterpost I hope to help my fellow landlocked witches know how to connect and use sea magick.
Stop the Gatekeeping
First I would like to address a problem I have seen several times in this community (especially here on witchblr) about sea witchcraft. I have seen far too many people telling others they cannot use anything ocean related in their craft unless they are near or on the beach, and that if you wish to practice sea magick you “should just move to the coast”. This is an issue I already brought up in my little intro: for many that is just not possible.
Firstly, in several places living even near the coast costs extreme amounts of money, much more than certain people can afford. Secondly, it may not be medically feasible. If the spoonie witch’s caregivers or care circle cannot move or if moving is something that could upset their illness further, they should certainly not move just to please you “real sea witches”. Some countries are also simply landlocked, they’d have to move completely out of their homeland to reach the coast and for some that is not even an option. So before you go onto this post saying it is inaccurate because sea witches only live by the sea, please do not and think for a moment that not everyone has the same circumstances as you. We all have different lives, needs and situations going on and not everyone can live the same way. Let others practice their craft in a way that suits them.
Getting Started/Creating your Space
As in my previous Stuck In the City post, we are going to start with a space or altar set up that will allow you to help feel connected to the ocean. Depending on the space you have available there can be some fun ways for you to connect to it. First find a corner or a table or even a spare part of a room that you can use for your set up, the more room the better in my personal opinion but I understand that space can be very limited.
Clean and cleanse the space you wish to use, make sure this is done well enough for the space to be comfortable to work in. Next it is time to create space for yourself, create an area that you can either sit or even lay down in, whatever you find to be the most comfortable when meditating or rejuvenating yourself after a long day.
Once it has been clean and cleared find a nice flat space and surface to place your altar, preferable somewhere that is fire safe in case of wanting to use incense or candles. I usually in cases of meditation or long term practice try to make it somewhere comfortable with furniture or an area where I can sit or even recline during my practice. I personally enjoy some extra pillows or cushions in the corner though this is entirely up to you.
Some things to consider adding to your ocean altar: beach sand, shells of any kind (clam, oyster, cone, crushed, broken etc), crab shells, dried sand dollars, dried starfish, driftwood, ocean stones/pebbles, shell dust, sea glass, sea salt, dried kelp (powder), ropes, buckets/cups/bowls/containers, fish bones, fish oil, bottles, shark teeth, cork and sea water.
A spell jar to remove one’s own romantic feelings for an ex or a toxic lover.
You Will Need:
❅ Jar or bottle with lid
❅ White Glitter
❅ Salt
❅ Dried White Rose Petals
❅ Ground Charcoal (artist)
❅ Garnet Chips
❅ Clear Quartz
❅ White Piece of Paper and Pen
Steps:
❅ On your piece of paper write down all of the reasons why you wish to remove your romantic feelings towards the other person. Write down the pain they have caused you and your wishes to be set free. Be sure to write this person’s name on the paper too. Set to the side
❅ In a bowl mix your salt, dried rose petals, glitter and charcoal (small amount). Stir counter-clockwise to banish these feelings for this person, visualize them freezing up into ice crystals and blowing away and out of your life.
❅ Carefully pour mixture into your jar and place your garnet chips and clear quartz on top
❅ Tear up your paper from the first step into tiny shreds. Put all of your desire to rid yourself of these emotions as you rip and tear them
❅ Add the small torn pieces into your jar and close it and seal it as you see fit.
❅ Keep somewhere at room temperature and close to where you frequent. Whenever you feel these feelings rearing up again, hold the jar and take deep breaths focusing on your desires to banish them from you. Use the energy of the jar for this.
Note: to break spell unseal jar and dispose of contents (properly)

Bubbles are whimsical and fun mixes of Air and Water, and hold a magic of all their own. Many of us have fond memories of using bubbles s children whether it was from blowing them out in the summer breeze or baths overflowing with them.
Correspondences of Bubbles
Bubbles have several correspondences and uses when it comes to magick and witchcraft. Due to their whimsical and nostalgic nature they are often associated with inspiration, creativity, childhood, wonder and fantasy. Bubbles are also wonderful for protection, cleansing and purification spells seeing as they are often made through using soap. Due to the shape and shine of many bubbles they are often associated with scrying and psychic abilities as well.
Bubble Uses
Bubbles and Cleansing
There are various ways to use bubbles to cleanse oneself or their space. The most simple and obvious way being using soap in the shower or bath and while washing one’s self imagining any dark, heavy emotion and energy one has being being sucked up into the bubbles and foam, trapped inside them. Then as the bubbles go down the drain, visualize all that toxicity going with it.
One can also use a bubble wand and bubble liquid to remove their negativity by visualizing as you blow the bubbles that all your breath going into them is filled with the negativity you wish to remove from yourself. This method is best down outside to ensure when the bubble pops it doesn’t just re-release the negativity in your living space.
To cleanse one’s space or home with bubbles is simple. You either clean it gently where you are able to use soap or you may leave a dish of bubble liquid out overnight. Once it has set out you may dispose of it down the sink or outside via blowing bubbles.
Bubbles and Wishes
Like my previous Bubble Spell, bubbles are wonderful for wish making. Focus on the wish and intent you have. Let it build up in your chest and lungs then release it as you blow your bubbles. Watch them float up into the sky and once they burst know that your wish has been released out into the universe.
Bubble Scrying
Bubble scrying is one of my favorite methods of simple divination. While in a bath filled with bubble bath, close your eyes and focus on your energy. Use your finger to stir in the water and foam of the bubbles. Ask your question or what you seek in your mind our outloud. Once you are satisfied stop your stirring and open your eyes. Watch and focus on the way the bubbles move and wait. Once you see shapes and images in the soap that feel to have a significance remember what they are. I often use the associations used in tasseography to determine what the shapes and images mean.
Simply put it’s a bath that you can put sigils into and to activate them without using fire. It’s a wonderful way to practice “in the forest” magic or if you’re in an apartment safer to do.
They are great for glamour, beauty, cleansing, and pretty much any other thing you can think of. Make sure the sigils in the bath don’t “fight each other”. By this I mean, putting a sigil for “energy” in the same bath as a sigil for “relaxation” isn’t beneficial. Likely, the two would cancel each other out. Make sure they correspond together and work well such as a job success sigil with a luck sigil and confidence sigil used together before an interview. Or a happiness sigil used with a self-love sigil after a bad day.
What you will need:
Sigils of your choice
Washable markers
Paper (lined or printer)
Salt (any kind, I use epsom)
Moon Water
(optional) Bubble Bath of choice
(optional) Sachet of Herbs that correspond with Sigils
Steps:
Gather your supplies together and make sure your bathroom is clean as well as the tub. Find the sigils you wish to use. Meditate or center yourself if needed.
Select the colors of markers you wish to use. I recommend you use colors that correspond with the purpose of your sigil. On the either torn or cut down pieces of paper so they are about palm sized, draw a sigil. For each sigil use a different piece of paper. If wanted you may write words on pieces as well or with the sigils.
Start your bath. Make sure it is warm but not scalding. As the water fills add in your bubble bath if you wish to use it and your sachet of herbs if you wish to use them too.
Once tub is half filled add in your salt, I usually add about a tablespoon maybe two so I don’t get dry skin. Pour in your moon water as well.
Place or sprinkle the sigils into the bath then get in.
Soak and relax, meditate if you can. The sigils in the bath will fade due to the washable ink and they will activate inside of the bath. Feel their energy and think about their intent, feel how they charge the water.
Once you are satisfied with your bath remove the paper carefully from the water before draining to prevent clogging.
Heading out and felt like a face reveal. Why? Well why not? Everyone else has done it. Though don’t expect this to be common. I don’t take many selfies >_>

Making Your Own Sanctuary
Let’s start with the simple beginnings of turning your home a bit more foresty so you can have your own sanctuary of nature in your home. Whether this be an altar, a corner of a room or even a full room is up to you and the amount of space you have to work with.

Hello my dears, especially all of you young new enthusiastic witches who are curious about the world of witchcraft and the use of mysticism in your life. Witchcraft is very rewarding and is practiced worldwide for a variety of reasons. I, too, was once a curious and honestly confused young witch trying to figure out where to start and how I should begin my journey. This is why I am creating this new series of guides for all of you who have found yourselves in that boat. I truly hope that these will help you greatly!
With these guides, I will be posting all sorts of information for you including vocabulary, links, resources, correspondences, exercises to practice, examples and even in some cases “homework” for you to give a try. So feel free to take notes or save these posts to your blogs for easy access. Feel free to message me or send me asks as well if you have any questions on the topics I cover. Also, to show your appreciation for these free lessons you can buy me a coffee at my Ko-fi Page as a tip, but this is not required at all.
What is a witch?
Let’s start with something simple but important for all beginners to understand. What actually is a witch? A witch is an individual who uses magick, pretty simple. They do NOT have to be female or born “into it” or Wiccan. A witch is a person who uses and practices witchcraft and Magick.
What is magick?
Magick is making an effort through energy of oneself or other types of energies to change aspects of one’s life. These changes can vary depending on the type of spells, rituals and practices you are using. The reason a “k” is used at the end of magick is simply to separate it from the word magic which is often associated with illusions and parlor tricks. Though some do still call it “magic” so it is really out of preference.
“It absorbs a spirit, which it then burns. By waving the flames on its arms, it puts its foes into a hypnotic trance.”
A curse to make another’s lives go numb and things they once enjoyed to feel dull. (This curse can be broken by the caster)
You will Need:
Pendulum (preferably obsidian or a dark stone/metal)
4 black candles
2 purple candles
Burning safe plate/bowl
Target’s name written on a strip of paper (
Bowl containing any of the following: cayenne pepper, chili powder, used coffee grounds, onion skin, dried garlic, catnip, poppy seeds and/or black peppercorn
Set Up:
Set up a good space for your spell to be cast. It needs to be comfortable but safe to burn your candles without risk of burning yourself or something else. Keep water or salt near you to help prevent any flare ups (only use water if no oil is on the candles or around the candles, oil fires and water do NOT mix). Cleanse yourself and your space as you feel is proper and ground/center yourself as needed.
Set up your candles up with two black candles on the outsides and the other two blacks on the inside with the purples between the outside and inside candles. Light the candles starting with the black candles outside in every other on each side, careful of not burning yourself. For small set ups a longer match or lighter is recommended.
Once all candles are lit place the bowl in front of you with candles on either side and herbs already mixed into the bowl. Once the bowl is placed you are ready to begin the spell.
Steps:
With your pendulum in your dominant hand hang it over the herbs and sway it very carefully side as to prevent it from hitting a candle or other object. Once you have a good flow going you may begin chanting: “Right, wrong, right, wrong. You have not done me any good, you have only done me wrong. For this I shall punish you. All that you love and all that brings you joy, shall only bring you emptiness, misery and void.” Repeat the last line three times.
Once you have finished the chant carefully on your fire safe plate/bowl light the name of the target you have written on fire using one of the candles of your choosing and let it burn to ash. Mix the ashes with the herbs and toss them in the trash.
Finish the spell by cleansing yourself, the area and your pendulum. Once you have well cleansed take a good long rest.
To Break Curse:
You can state ways to break the curse during your chant if you choose or determinants for it to break automatically such as “when they feel remorse” or “when they change their attitude” or you can set it to be a specific time such as “in 3 months the curse will lift.” this is all really up to you.

💜 Eyeliner of Choice
💜 Purple Candles
💜 Black Candles
💜 Purple or Dark Eye Shadow
💜 Rose Quartz
💜 Garnet
💜 Mirror
💜 Piece of Chocolate (preferably dark chocolate)
Steps:
💜 Get your items together in front of the mirror you will be working with. Light you candles. You may use whatever number you desire just try to have at least one of each of the two colors. Be sure to keep them out of the way of where you will be working and possibly leaning forward to prevent burns and other undesirable accidents.
💜 Place your rose quartz and garnet near your candles to further fill the room with the aura of beauty, seduction and secret darkness
💜 Do your eye make using your eyeliner and eye shadow as you desire. Personally, I would recommend bold eye liner for this glamour and smokey eyes but do what feels right for you and works with your eye/face shape. As you do your make up visualize mysterious, beautiful captivating eyes wearing the make up you are applying. How their gaze draws others in and captures their attention. How they a beautiful but have an edge of mystery and almost danger to them, keeping others from getting too close. Keep this image in your mind as you finish up your eye make up.
💜 Once satisfied with your eye make up, while staring at yourself in the mirror pick up your piece of dark chocolate

“Like eyes of a serpent in the night, I am lovely and charming but with a bit of a bite. Those who see me are struck by my beauty, but they dare not touch for they feel my radiated might. Like chocolate dark and bitter, I am beautiful, lovely and wicked.”
💜 Eat the piece of dark chocolate after saying this as a way to close the spell and give yourself an extra boost of seduction and energy for the spell. Continue on with your routine and know that you are wickedly beautiful
