The first known and recorded witch ladder found was in an old house in Wellington, Somerset England which was demolished in 1878, while Charles Godfrey Leland had gotten word of the wellington witches ladder whilst he was in Italy he decided to do some research himself in Italy. later to find out that they used a similar item in Italy know by the name “Witches Garland” made up of some of the same items such as Cord, Black hen feathers, and small bones from multiple small animals, and human hair of the one your bewitching/cursing.
While in modern 21st century Wicca and witchcraft a witch’s ladder is a rope and or a cord with 3, 9, or 13 knots with feathers, bones, and beads. And can be used for a multitude of spell casting protection, cursing, healing, breaking curses, and more. While making the withes ladder with each knot a spell is recited to tie in your spell work, for a witch’s ladder spell to be undone the ladder must be destroyed such as by fire, undoing the knots, or dismembering it by a sharp instrument’. Most importantly it’s a simple way of working magic into your life whether it be protection or a simple wishing spell.

The story of Saint Dunstan goes back to the 10th. Dunstan (was a blacksmith at the time) and was visited by the devil himself. The hoofed devil asked for a horseshoe for himself. So then, Dunstan had used iron nails to secure a red hot horseshoe tightly to one of his hooves, and the devil howled in great pain. The devil begged for Dunstan to remove the hot shoe. so he had agreed under only one condition that the devil must respect the horseshoe and never enter any place where one was hung above the door.
Horseshoes also have 7 holes usually cause of the number being lucky as well.
This is also why it’s so popular in western cultures, in Whats called granny magic/witchcraft, and a lot of Appalachian witchcraft.
Add white, pink, and red rose petals, honeysuckle blossoms and rose water to bath filled with water. Substitute hydrosols with fresh flowers if necessary. (optional esstial oils to add: lavender, rosemary, chamomile, and jasmine)
Place a rose quartz large enough to not go down the drain in the bath too.
Soak in the scented bath.
Find yourself in the stillness, calmness, quiet & peacful place in your bath amongst the loving frangrace of rose petals, flowers, rose water and essential oils. Place your focus now on the person who broke your heart or the memory that broke your heart… if you begin to cry, allow the tears to flow down your cheek and into the bath water. Say the persons name out loud and command that all the power and sweetness you gave to this person be given back to you.
Example : Gregorio, you broke my heart, and now I command the universe to give back to me, all the power, sweetness and love I ever gave to you. Gregorio, I gave you my heart becuase I found you worthy, I now command the universe to give me back my heart because I have realized the only person worthy of holding and protecting my heart is ME. I love me. I love me so much. I forgive myself for allowing for someone outside of me to take my power and break my heart. My power, my sweetness, my love, my heart is flowing back to me now.
After you have cried, yelled, said your affrimations, played with your roses, and anything else you felt called to do in your bath, take the rose quartz and place it on your heart… allow for all the emotions and tears that filled the bathwater to now drain out… as it drains out chant the words “I RELEASE YOU NOW WITH UNCONDITIONAL LOVE”
Following the bath, carry the rose quartz with you. Sleep with it under your pillow until you don’t need it any more.

Spell to Claim a Space
Supplies -
· Space to claim
· Supplies to cast a circle
· Optional - an offering to your deities
Instructions -
·Cast a circle large enough to encapsulate your space.
·Ground yourself.
· Chant to your deities, repeating 3 times -
Divine Goddess, Goddess divine,
Divine God, God divine,
If evil dwells within this place,
Please remove it from my space.
·Visualize a divine white light around you. Slowly count down out loud from 5 to 1, slowly expanding to encase the entire space you are claiming. When you reach 1, the space is yours.
·With care, break the circle and utilize your newly claimed space.
@arrowstone and I decided to do this spell today to feel safer doing spellwork at church (the irony). Repeat this spell when your hold over the space is weakened, or at least once yearly.
