I’d love to hear your opinions on this. I plan to simply put it, banish someone from my life and I want to include the social media action in the ritual. Has any of you experience with this? 
Plan is that during the ritual, while saying the spell, I will remove/unfriend the person in question and block them too. 

I’ll gladly hear your opinions about this, by reblogging, answering or sending me a message :) 

May stars shine bright upon your paths!

A Spell For Those Not Faint of Heart

Black Dog Phantoms are seen throughout alot of mythology. Often they are harbingers of death and some are said to even cause it. But most importantly…they are a warning. Do you have a hard time determining if a situation is ok or not? Not so great with you instincts… Well If you arent afraid of the big bad wolf, then this could be for you.

You WIll Need:

  • Jar
  • Black Candle
  • humanely clipped toe nails of a dog or a good amount of dog hair.  (basically take a dog to be groomed and keep the excess. yep..you will look alittle strange. Unless you clip dog nails on your own. Then you risk looking less creepy. Basically..dont hurt any dogs to get what you need or the spell wont work and can backfire)
  • Graveyard Dirt
  • Protection incense of your choice.
  • White Vinegar.

Take the ingredients and put them in the jar. Seal the jar and like the candle. Drip the black wax all over the top of the jar to seal it while saying.

I call to the black dog of lore

to aid me by warning of terrible things

I call him from across the moor

To protect me from all sorts of fiends.

The black dog shall not give harm to me

All it should do is be heard and seen

when my instinct is stronger and i can be

I will release it back to haunt the green. 

Once this spell is cast If at any time you see the black dog with glowing eyes…or you hear a nerve shattering bark..Its best to be gone from that place immediately. Especially be gone before you hear the third bark. After the third bark….well..no one can really say what happens.

When you are ready to release the spell. Break open the bottle in a forest or nice green field away from your home. Even a graveyard if that feels more comfortable. Destroy the bottle and make sure to say it is released once you leave this place. 

But do no be surprised if it doesnt leave you alone. It is a phantom dog. They get attached.

***disclaimer***

DO NOT TAKE THIS SPELL LIGHTLY. GO READ UP ON THE BLACK DOGS OF EUROPEAN MYTH AND FIND OUT WHY

Beware, for the power behind this beast of magick is one that we should treat with respect and uttermost careful approach. I am familiar with them, with the feline version (yes, it exists…) as well. Yet even for someone with 20+ years of experience and knowledge, this is NOT TO BE TAKEN LIGHTLY! 

From what I know, if you see or hear this kind of dog, if you don’t leave the area, after third bark the Dog will do what it’s duty is: to bear away the soul of a person to the afterlife
So be wary, be careful. Treat it with utmost respect, for this spirit is as old as the Isles themselves…

Energy work and meditation with anxiety and attention or focus issues can thoroughly be frustrating. I personally have suffered from the same struggles, however the one type of meditation/energy work that I found easiest to keep my focus is what I’d consider ‘interactive meditations’. My personal favorite being the energy breathing technique.

This technique is learning to focus on your energy and breath and expanding your energy as you breathe in and shrink ingyour energy as you breathe out.

You can come up with your own or find others that incorporate your continued focus and practice with those. Remember that starting slow and with short goals is always important. Set a timer for one to three minutes at first and get confident in that, then continue to slowly add more time to your goal.

*Side note* Don’t be hard on yourself when you lose focus, just breathe and reground yourself and refocus, even taking a break and going to drink some water can help too! Just be kind to yourself. <3

Is spirit work dangerous?

In short, yes, it can be, spirit work can absolutely be dangerous and most likely will be for most individuals at least at some point. However there are ways to protect yourself and bring these negative possibilities down, such as, putting up barriers around yourself and your energy, doing a reading on the spirit work you’re thinking about doing before doing it, take precautions and ask them many questions in order to break down a possible facade, envoke protective guides, gods and spirits that you have previously trusted to protect you. Even setting up early warning systems is possible as well. For example, keep in mind the work you’re about to do for at least two to three days, and ask your guides to show you signs of how they feel towards it. If you know the name, nature or type of being that you are going to come into contact with, ask your trusted entities about them. They can much safer take a look at their energy and intentions than you can.

(I can also do a much deeper post into spirit work and it’s dangers if wanted as well)

∆Witchy Reminder∆

Depending on what you personally believe in, no life is truly lost. You can always send love, energy, helpful spirits and protection to lives that have passed on, as well as give newly lost life’s the strength they need and a lovely road for them to continue on their journey.

What do you wanna learn about witchcraft, spirits and energy?

I truly desire to give all of you the most useful information I possibly can, so what would you like to see me research and post about? Feel free to message anonymously, DM me or just reply to this post. (〜^∇^)〜♡

∆Witchy Reminder∆

Never stop learning. Every day is a new chance to experience and learn more, whether that’s of the world or of oneself. And if you are teaching others, always encourage questions!!! It’ll get you thinking from perspectives you otherwise never would look into.

Witchy Group?

Hello, im Meredith. A Hedge witch, and Scottish folk magic practicioner for 20+ years, also studying Druidry at the Bard level.


Id like to tell you about the service i offer.

I create past life readings for my clients. No, im probably not going to tell you that you were Cleopatra, or another famous historic figure. My readings are real and specific. They are achieved through trance aided through meditations.


My readings are detailed and take 3-4 days to produce. They will always include a description of everything i see during trance. I always visually “see” my subject in a dreamlike way. Most often, i can also see your surroundings, along with any other important people in that lifetime.


Past life readings are an excellent way to unlock trauma and anxieties in your present life.


What you are guaranteed to receive with a past life reading from me:


*A past life reading of one of your human past lives. If i can visualize more than one past life for you, which i usually do, i offer that second reading at a reduced fee.


*Your physical description in that past life.


*Any important people around you in that life and their description.


*A rough explanation of what you did in that life. Were you a parent, a child, what was your job, or hobbies.


*Your death in that life.


*Delivery in 3-4 days maximun.


*All readings are written up in explicit detail in a Google doc.


***Payments are required Upfront. Upon receiving payment, i prepare for, and begin your reading.

I accept PayPal: [email protected]

And

Chime: $Meredith-Sch


***Before sending, please message me to make sure my bookings are clear, and i can deliver on time.


Peace & Love,

Meredith
