Enchant their blankies with extra love and comfort, so they always sleep soundly.

Banish all the monsters from under their bed and in their closet, and let them help you. 

Draw protective sigils on their doll/teddy bear’s tag so that they really do fight away the bad guys.

Brush the negativity away when you comb through their hair.

Stir their breakfast clockwise to promote happiness. 

Sew sigils onto their clothes and lunchboxes just in case.

Put knot magick into the things they carry around everyday, like purses,m bows, or hoodie strings.

Show them thst you care, and make sure they know it.

I especially like the banishing the monsters in the closet one. When I was little and my dad was power washing the fence and our house, my mom told me it was Monster Begone. She said she had bought it at the store, and it lasted for ten years before it had to be redone. Then, when my brothers grew to be scared of monsters, I would start telling them about Monster Begone and how effective it was.

@laurensonfire, I will be doing some of these for Rose definitely ^_^

Let’s talk about: Teas/potions

Potions are probably one thing that almost everyone thinks of when they hear the words “witch” or “magic”, and with good reason.  For a long time witches used plants prepared properly to treat disease, which eventually became the modern practice of medicine.  Potions are a form of magic very close to science, which makes me love them, as I am a big fan of both.

These days I’m not as inclined to get willow bark when I can get aspirin easily, but I still use some potions for both their effects, and their taste.  By this of course I mean teas.  There are dozens of types of teas with more uses than I know or can possibly fit in this post (foreshadowing!) so I’ll just talk about my personal favorite tea as an example.

Almost daily I drink a green tea with a few mint leaves mixed, and a little honey if I want something sweet.  The green tea I use mainly for its metabolism boosting properties and caffeine, although I also like the energy and healing properties it has magically.  The mint is use for its calming magical properties, and sometimes for its more scientific stomach settling properties.  Finally the honey is mostly for flavor and a little protein in case the tea is my breakfast, and I’ll usually use it to draw either a sigil for peace or luck into my tea depending on what I need that day.  I much prefer to use loose leaf, but I’ll use premade tea bags if i’m in a hurry.

This is one that’s tough to really put much of a “manly” spin on, since tea is a very unisex thing to begin with, but for the naysayers:  Many warrior cultures drank tea before battles, either as a form of offering and honor as with the samurai, or to try and boost their abilities as with the viking berserkers.  If you desperately need it too be as manly as possible, leave out the honey and it’ll be about as bitter as coffee.

That finishes up my ramble on teas and potions.  Practice safe and Ret'urcye mhi!

To charge and activate sigils trace them with a crystal point. You can use clear quartz for anything but if you want to get specific you can use Tigers Eye to activate and charge a protection sigil or use your own correspondences.
