Tag: spoonie magic

do you think some witchy stuff requires more energy than others or does it all just depend on the person? Like tarot readings vs potion making idk, do you think it would be possible to make a list of most to least draining practices?

Yes and no if that makes sense. It does vary person to person that is for sure, some people have energy that naturally aligns with one thing more than another. Such as I myself have always found tarot extremely easy and not draining but it took me ages to get glamour spells to work, over a year in fact.

Though I do feel there are certain parts of practices that are easier to do with less energy needed. I would recommend first checking out all of my tags for ‘beginner magick’ ‘beginner witchcraft’ and ‘spoonie witch’

As for a list of ones I feel personally are beginner friendly to do here you go!

  • Meditation – very important to learn how to ground and center yourself)
  • Crystal Elixir– very beginner friendly just make sure the crystal isn’t water soluble/toxic if you want to put it in the water. if it is toxic or would melt in water place it around the jar/bowl instead
  • Tea Magick – Tea spells are wonderful fast potions that can really help you with specific things such as sleep, meditation, divination and focus depending on what you use. Just be sure to research the herbs you are using some do conflict with medicines
  • Bath Magick – Wonderful relaxing self love filled magic, think of it like a big potion you soak in. Have fun with it! Use herbs, flowers, tea, bubble bath, scents, oils, sea shells, salt and other ingredients. If you are going to use essential oils research them first! Make sure you dilute them with a carrier oil first and make sure they aren’t skin toxic/irritants
  • Sigil Work – A good favorite of a lot of spoonie witches and low energy witches because sigils are a fun creative way to make spells and get your intent out there and though still requires energy, focus and intent it is a bit more forgiving than huge rituals

  • Create an altar/shelf dedicated to the sea.

  • Whisper sweet nothing towards the sea – it doesn’t matter how far away it is!

  • Connect with any deities of the ocean/sea (for me that includes Amphitrite, Poseidon and Ceto).
  • Make/wear seashell or pearl jewelry.
  • Listen to music that makes you feel like you’re standing in front of the ocean.
