#witchcraft tips
An incantation or a charm is a magical formula intended to trigger a magical effect on a person or objects. It’s a fast but sure spell that you say outloud to make it work.
In my native witchcraft traditions (armenian&georgian) we use a lot of incantations, because there’s nothing stronger than the power of words. But what’s the formula for the perfect effective incantation? We use just 3 ingredients: rhythm, rhyme, and imagery.
Rhythm turns a whisper into a strong energetic drumbeat, rhyme helps you remember and add strength to your voice, imagery binds the intention.
- The rhythm. Make each word sound like a drumbeat when you say it outloud. Recall how shamans use the sound of drums to create their magic. You incantation, when said outloud, should be that drum. Your words should have their own rhythm, power, proper emphasis.
- The rhyme. Make it rhyme, make it easy to learn by heart and repeat. It only adds to its strength if you say it outoud yourself, without peeking in a book.
- Imagery. Use rich metaphors. Incantation is as much poetry as it is magic, so it’s very important to make it sound vivid, and so that each word is there for a purpose, not just too fill the void. Compare sickness to a black bird, kill it with a stone and throw it in a fire to make it go away. Be vivid, be creative.
Bonus, an example of an old georgian incantation aganst a cold:
Surdo metsvia sadilad,
Cold visited me at dinner.
Ra gavuketo sadilat?
What shall I make it for dinner?
Magrad shevkar, shevpachiche,
I tied it [i.e. the cold]
Shavsa dzaglsa gadavkide.
Hung it on the black dog,
Dzagli Khidzed gavarda,
The dog fell over the bridge,
Surdo tskalshi chavarda.
The cold fell in the water.
Sometimes we would have a few nightmares so we would like something just to make us feel a little better
You will need: A purple or yellow piece of origami paper (or just square paper) , (you can have these other items but they arn’t required for the spell) lavender oil or peppermint oil , a yellow or purple candle . some incense
First begin by taking your paper and making a bird (it can be a dove or a crane or a heron or a humming bird its up to you) when your done hold your hands over the creation and say mentally or outloud:
“When i lay my head down to sleep may dreams of sweetness and kindness begin to come about may i be protected while i sleep and when i wake up with harm to none blessed be”
if you have any of those oils you can put it on there if you like
Feel free to alter this as much as you want have fun -garden
Do not invoke what you cannot banish.
i need inspiration more often than not when it comes to my book to make sure my book is unique and tailored to me and my craft but also to keep me working in it, so i’m making a post devoted to fun and creative book additions! feel free to add on!
- make an entry that has to be read in a mirror.
- devote a page to your sun and moon sign, or maybe you and your partners signs and how they interact.
- make a page about your totem animal/spirit animal/daemon/patronus/eomkin/your personal corresponding animal.
- you could make a page for each holiday, its history, and add a paper pocket into the page filled with recipes.
- you could collage things that make you think of a deity. paste in flowers they like.
- practice spirit work? draw the spirit! collage the spirit. find art that makes you think of the spirit and pop it in there.
- don’t know plant names? name them yourself.
- draw your dreams out, decorate in a way that feels right, use colors according to how it made you feel.
- draw out the ingredients you want to use in a spell/potion/oil. dab a bit of the creation on the page.
- make a page for your familiars. list any spells for them, where you found/adopted them, their breed and things about them, what’s their favorite snack, and if your familiar is cooperative, maybe try to get a paw/nose print!
- make a pendulum chart.
- find one of those adult coloring books. tear a few pages and stick them in either randomly or maybe in a page about meditation. when stressed, use it as a meditative practice.
- chakras, what they mean to you, correspondences, and which you may need to work on. here is a fun test you can take that tells you if your chakras are under-active, over-active, or open.
- any fictional/real witches or wizards that stood out to you? why?
- write about magickal experiences you had as a child you can’t explain today. what about imaginary friends and were they imaginary?
- got some pokemon cards? look at abilities for spell inspiration! paste it on the page with the spell.
- make a page about past lives if you know of any.
- devote a page to the elements. figure out a way to incorporate them into the page itself.
- stick envelopes in there and put recipes, spreads, all sorts of things in there to save some pages!
- utilize fold out pages for long chunks of information.
- do you cast circles? what do you use? what do you think the energy looks like? the color? the shape if you don’t see it as a circle? draw the seen and unseen.
- make a page about how to contact you from the afterlife.
- make a page about your spiritual or psychic gifts and how you discovered them.
- print out aesthetically pleasing pictures you find portray you and your craft. collage your personal aesthetic/witchy moodboard
- speckle/splatter some paint. connect the dots to make constellations. name them.
- use something to make your paper shiny. scry with it.
remember you’re book doesn’t always have to be stiff and full of only information. get creative and make your book a fun part of your craft!
I know it’s not just me when the seasons get colder it puts me in the mood to do witchcraft
just because you call yourself an ✨eclectic witch✨ doesn’t mean you have the right to appropriate other cultures, steal from them, and hijack closed practices
This is in reference to Lilith, by the way… who IS closed..
Another so-called ‘eclectic wiccan’ was also weighing in on this conversation telling me Lilith isn’t closed and that her ‘Jewish friends’ and ‘local rabbi’ told her so. Uh huh…
(I’m not Jewish by the way, I just have some Jewish ancestry and have done a bit of research into Jewish witches. I’m not hugely educated on the topic, but I know Lilith is closed and is regularly appropriated by non-Jewish witches. Blogs like @ will-o-the-witch have a lot of info on this )
It’s always the eclectic witches
“An ancient culture I can’t recall rn” okay.
God they get worse
If a deity (I know Lilith isn’t a deity, but I’m just using this for ease and to generalise that this is information can encompass all practices) is part of a closed practice that you are not a part of and cannot BE a part of, such as, say, ‘Voodoo gods’ reaching out to you if you’re white, then I hate to break it to you, but that’s not a deity as part of that culture who is reaching out to you. It’s an entity that is doing this to try and trick you, and if you’re naive enough to believe something that is part of a closed practice you have no right to be in is reaching out to you, then the entity knows that you are naive enough to be hurt easily.
This is why I recommend all ‘baby’ witches and so-called ‘eclectic’ witches do a fair amount of research before worshipping or choosing to work with a deity. Personally, I had signs of Freyja reaching out to me for months before I decided for definite I would worship/work with her. This is because I spent that time researching Freyja, and asking other witches who work with Freyja what their experience is with her. I also asked Sól for guidance in this decision, because I wanted to be absolutely sure that it was Freyja who was sending me signs and reaching out to me, rather than an entity pretending to be Freyja who had the intent of hurting me.
TL;DR: if you are not Jewish and Lilith is ‘reaching out to you’ or you are communicating with Lilith, it’s not actually Lilith. You are being played.
Do more research.

About The Shadow & Psychic Abilities
This is an important key to unlock, to further develop psychic abilities/senses. If you want to explore your psychic self fully, your shadow self is worth illuminating and working on. Why? Because the nature of psychic abilities. This is the ability to perceive, process, and bring to light incredible information from realms that are usually in the dark. This is considered “abnormal” to the majority, and while we are in this human body, on this earth, that darkness involves the shadow-self, and the subconscious mind. Often times psychics and those with strong connection to the spirit realm/divine/ ethers/ whatever you want to call it, *have* been through darkness and explored it themselves. This is not to say there aren’t psychics there who have had perfect lives, this is pointing out how the two coincide with one another. The unhealed shadow acts as a blockage. The Shadow Self is a part of you that resides in the deep state of your subconscious. This is a part of your psyche that has awaiting untapped power and knowledge. Where all our trauma, shame, deepest desires, potentially forbidden, hidden/suppressed emotions, most fragile and intense part of ourselves lie in. But the more we suppress, the more it bleeds into our life. The reason most never willingly embrace their shadow is because in our current society, we are taught to look down on our own darkness and anything that can make us “imperfect”. We are fed fear from a young age, we are met with societal expectations and pressure in every direction we look. The shadow can and should be transmuted and empowered to induce the psychic senses in a way that is healthy and certain.
