Sometimes the “right spell casting conditions” just can’t happen:

Want to cast outside but its just too windy? Want to play a certain song to set the mood but the wi-fi isn’t working? Need to look at the moon but its overcast?

Paper ripping, jars breaking, candle not lighting etc - Don’t take this as a sign that you shouldn’t continue or that things will not work! (not everything is a sign, sometimes shit just happens!!)

Take a deep breath. Adapt and adjust! You got this!

“adapt and adjust” - best advice for this situation, ever.

cosmic-witch:

I believe that many of the methods used to cleanse items can also be used to charge them - the difference lies within your intention. 

To cleanse, visualize negative energy actually leaving the object. To charge, visualize the object being filled with the energy from your chosen source.

Cleansing & Charging Methods:

• Visualization -imagine a ball of energy forming around the item to either cleanse it or give it power (the color of the ball could correspond to your intent, i.e. white or blue for cleansing, red for power, etc.)
• Earth -bury the object in soil or sand - a potted plant will also work
• Water -submerge the item in running water 
• Salt Water-anoint or submerge the item in a salt water solution 
• Gem Water - anoint or submerge the item in a corresponding crystal elixir 
• Herbal & Floral Water - anoint or submerge the item in a solution of corresponding herbs or flowers 
• Sea Salt - sprinkle sea salt over/around the item or submerge it in a container of sea salt 
• Essential & Infused Oils-anoint item with corresponding oil 
• Smoke - pass the item through incense smoke 
• Fire -pass the item through an open flame 
• Storms -leave item outside during a thunderstorm
• Wind & Breath-leave item outside when it’s windy or use your breath to essentially breathe your intent into the item
• Crystals/Crystal Grid -surround the item with crystals of corresponding intent (can be arranged in a pattern to form a crystal grid and enhance energy) or simply pass the crystal over the item
• Dried/Fresh Herbs & Flowers - sprinkle mixture over/around item or submerge the item in a mixture of herbs and/or flower petals 
• Sound - use a bell, whistle, or something similar to clear the space and associated items of negativity; alternatively, you can place the item near a set of speakers to absorb the energy from music and other sounds 
• Sigils - craft and use sigils that correspond with your intent (you can set the item on top of the sigil, draw the sigil on the item, etc.)
• Technology -set the item near your phone/tablet/etc while it’s charging 
• Moonlight & Starlight -leave item in the path of these natural lights, either outside or in a windowsill overnight 
• Sunlight -leave item in the path of sunlight for a few hours during the day (before sunset, of course), either outside or in a windowsill 
• Divination -pair the item with a rune or tarot/oracle card that matches your intent in a small container 
• Incantations - create an incantation that states your intent and speak it aloud while holding the item
• Physical Energy-engage in physical activity of some sort (exercise, dancing, sex, etc.) and direct that energy into the item
• Actual cleaning-physically and literally clean any items with an appropriate solution (soap, alcohol, etc.); the energy put into cleaning can also be used to charge the item

Caution: some items, especially crystals, are not suitable for exposure to sunlight, water, or salt. 

astralwitchling:

full moon: on the night of a full moon, leave your crystals outside to soak up the moonlight, the crystals will still receive the energy even if it’s cloudy or raining! (but make sure the crystals can safely be in contact with water!!)

sunlight: leave your crystals out to bathe in the sun for a few hours (Amegreen, Amethyst, Ametrine,  Aquamarine,  Celestite, Citrine, Fluorite,  Kunzite, Opal,Rose Quartz, Smoky Quartz, Spirit Quartz, Super Seven, Topaz, and Turquoise should not be left out in the sun!!)

sage/incense:waft the smoke over the crystals, or hold the crystals in the smoke, let the smoke reach every side of the crystal

water: let your crystals soak in a nice cool water bath, or place them under running water, visualise the water cleaning out any negative energy (Calcite, Desert Rose, Halite, Hematite, Lodestone, Malachite, Satin Spar, and Selenite should not be placed in water!!)

earth: bury your crystals in the soil for a few hours and the earth will soak up negative energies (again, be cautious about rain!)

sound:place your crystals in front of speakers and play your favourite music!! the vibrations from sound waves will pass through the crystals and reset their vibrations to their original state

flower petals: bury your crystals in a bowl of flower petals, choose a flower that has extra healing properties to help your crystals

visualisation: hold your crystal in your hand and envision a white light surrounding it, then see a white beam pass through the crystal, taking the negative energy away

averywitchyblog:

•Morning: awakening, new beginning, fertility, life direction.
•Daytime: growth, financial gains, good life, generosity.

kastayer:

1) place clear quartz chips in each corner of the room, quartz chips retail for 10cents each rather than $3-$4 per whole crystal. They’re just as effective.

2) Rosemary- it’s great for protection and acts as a memory booster as well. It’s very cheap all you have to do is sprinkle it in a sachet and rest it under your pillow for nightmares, or hang it in your doorway as a protection charm. Don’t have any sachets? Use a ziplock bag.

3) use your mind- when I still followed the Wiccan path a fellow sister taught me a visualisation technique to cleanse myself, and my surroundings. All I do is visualise strong misty waterfalls washing everything clean, some people may feel more comfortable visualising a wind storm or fire burning away negativity. Point is spend time perfecting this technique, it’s relaxing, it works and it’s free.

I was in the broom closet for five years, and I can tell you I got very crafty at practicing my craft. Nearly a decade later I still use some of these techniques, because they’re cost effective and they work even if it’s not necessarily pretty.

Offering Comfort Spell

One of the hardest situations to be in is when your friend, partner, family is hurting and you are unable to act to ameliorate that hurt. When my partner is in a dark place my heart feels pinched and every breath catches. I know that it is the same for her when I am in a dark place. This is a simple charm to send love and support to those you care about who are hurting.

You Will Need

1. One yellow candle (can substitute white)

Preparation

[Recommended for this spell] If it is part of your practice, cast a circle. As you sit with your ingredients before you, centre yourself. Ground yourself in the present moment by focusing on your breath, the sensations of your body, and your connection to the earth.

This spell can be cast with the person you are directing your energies toward sitting across the candle flame from you or directed outward toward a person who is not present.

Casting

Sit comfortably on the floor with the yellow candle in safe holder in front of you. If the person who you are directing your comfort and energy to is present, have them sit on the opposite side of the candle from you.

Light the candle and sit quietly for a minute. Visualise your love, comfort, and energy as a golden light building inside your chest. As it expands, push it outward with your mind toward the person who you wish to comfort. Repeat the following with conviction:

Friend of mine with aching heart

Let this gift from me impart

You with peace, a fresh new start

May all your sorrow soon depart

Sit together in the light of your love and comfort for as long as you both need.

Notes

Yellow Candle: comfort, confidence, joy

This week was rough for a lot of us. I’m reposting this so it’s easy to find for everyone.

Autumnal Cleansing

We often associate cleansing our space with Spring. I remember going to my maternal Grandmother’s house every March and breaking out the bleach, mops, polish, and rags and scrubbing every shelf and baseboard until they shined. But my Grandmother was not satisfied with a deep once a year cleaning. Every September we repeated the ritual. She said, When the snow and the dark come we will be glad for a warm, clean place to rest. Here is a simple spell as we draw the light half of the year to a close and enter the quiet dark.

You Will Need

• One (1) white candle in a safe holder

• A bowl of saltwater

• A cinnamon broom or hand whisk

Preparation

If it is part of your practice, cast a circle. As you sit with your ingredients before you, centre yourself. Ground yourself in the present moment by focusing on your breath, the sensations of your body, and your connection to the earth.

Casting

Light the white candle in your living room or another central location in your living space. Hold the bowl of salt water in your left hand and cinnamon broom in your right hand.

Recite the following:

Holy fire pierces dark

By salt water now depart

Swept away by blessed bark

Cleansing through the witch’s art

Sprinkle the salt water about your rooms or living space starting from the back (backdoor or window) and moving toward the front (entry way or main door). Hum or whistle as you do so, driving the negative energy forward and out the main entry. Be sure to sprinkle at each window, divider, and door, as boundaries are thin places that need extra care.

Now, moving in reversed direction from front to back, sweep the cinnamon broom across your floor. Continue to hum while you work your way about your home space creating a pleasant atmosphere.

When finished, repeat the charm and extinguish the candle.

Notes

White candle: purity, protection

Salt water: cleansing, dissolution

Cinnamon: associated with fire; used for protection, cleaning, and purifying

Substitutions

• An electric tea light or votive candle can be used in spaces where you cannot light fire.

• Cinnamon incense or potpourri can replace the broom.

Ostara Oomancy

Oomancy, the art of egg divination, is a perfect activity for Ostara (the Spring Equinox) because of the strong association between the egg, the world, and new life.

You Will Need

1. Two bowls
2. Boiled (still hot) water
3. An egg
4. One white and one black candle (in safe holders)
5. Moon water (optional)

Preparation

If it is part of your practice, cast a circle. As you sit with your ingredients before you, centre yourself. Ground yourself in the present moment by focusing on your breath, the sensations of your body, and your connection to the earth.

Casting

Boil a pot of moon water and carefully pour it into one bowl.

Set the bowls between the the black and white candles (black on your left and white on your right). Place the egg between the bowls and yourself.

Light the black candle and say:

Sister moon, shine your wisdom on this reading.

Light the white candle and say:

Brother sun, infuse your energy in this reading.

Cup the egg in your hands and hold it over the empty bowl and recite the following:

Sister and brother in equal time

Guide this vision and make it mine.

Crack the egg and, using the shell and empty bowl, seperate the white from the yolk. Drop the white into the hot water and read the patterns it creates as you would tea leaves.

Notes

Egg: symbolises the world and rebirth

White and Black Candles: represent the equality of night and day on the Ostara.

My Book Of Shadows

The book I’m using as a book of shadows (currently) is just a standard A6 notebook so I’ve been looking for a better notebook, then I remembered that I got a really cool sketchbook for my 8th, 9th, or 10th birthday (can’t remember which) and I could totally use it as a book of shadows.

It’s made by a company called paperblanks, who make really good notebooks that are great for using as a book of shadows. They have some really cool designs
