“Sephora will start selling entry-level witch kits in October.”
All right witches, listen up.
Sephora is to begin selling a “witch kit” next month featuring a tarot deck, fragrances, a sage bundle, and a rose quartz crystal for $42.
I think it’s wonderful that witchcraft is making a resurgence, but what I don’t think is wonderful, is that a huge corporation like Sephora is trying to tap into this market.
Why don’t I like it?
Because Sephora has their fingers in enough pies and generates over $4 billion in revenue per year.
Because witchcraft produce and supplies should be provided by people with knowledge on the practise(s) and who care enough to make sure their products are ethical, of a high quality, and non-appropriative.
Because Sephora will be stealing business from actual witchcraft and occult centric shops who likely don’t make huge sums of money anyway due to the niche nature of the market.
Because Sephora doesn’t need the fucking money!
So, I urge you to share this post and refrain from purchasing this “entry-level” witch kit (and any future witchcraft related product) from Sephora. Instead, support small, witch-owned businesses. We need you and we’ve got your backs.
Also they’re selling the sage for “smudging” which, as we all should know, is a Native American specific practice. Seeing sage (white sage at that considering it’s fucking endangered) marketed by a big corporation is especially unsettling.
If you’re looking you get intro witchcraft, don’t buy from a huge money mongerer looking to be “trendy.” Support a small witchy business! Check out the many shops here on witchblr. Especially consider buying from witches of color!
II. Hold the Calcite in one hand, place the other over the study guide. Imagine the energy of the work absorbing.
III. Rip a little piece [of your Study Guide] and place it into the glass bowl, light it up and inhale the smoke. (If you cannot inhale the smoke, simply place your hand over it and visualize it seeping into your skin.) Then, chant :
“Study, study, keep in my mind. Study, know, so I won’t be so blind. Know, know, the correct answer I’ll write. Know, memorize, so I get the test right. Memorize, memorize, this test I shall pass. Memorize, forever, so I’ll pass this class.”

Peach Gum is a crystal-like substance much like amber from the peach tree (prunus persica). It is water soluble. You can soak it overnight then drink it or use it in soups (it is a sweetener). When soaked in water it will grow in size and soften.
When ingested it benefits the skin (widely used in Asia as a beauty product), digestion, and blood flow. It is also considered to promote healthy growth of hair and nails.
It can also be burned as incense as it contains the essential oils of the peach.
The essential oils can also be obtained and used by boiling peach tree leaves.
The oils can also be used topically as a skin moisturizer.
Sigil for Security and Protection. Can be used to protect an object, or for emotional and spiritual security. Is especially potent when paired with Raspberry Leaves, Aloe, Garlic, Dill, and Fennel. Appeal to protectors such as Artemis or Hestia, or your personal patron god/goddess.
P.S. Lettuce can be used in protection spells. A salad with this sigil drawn in a raspberry vinaigrette might just be the way to go. Slice some fennel, add a bit of dill and crushed garlic and you’re set to face the world.
Home is in the forests. It is in the fields and the riverbeds. My youth one of solitude. I learned not from the people around me but from the wilderness. I learned the poetry of the wind and screamed into the roaring thunderous skies. I was alone, and it was beautiful. Because I was surrounded by life.
Sigil for Focus. To aid in keeping on task or meditating on something very specific. For increased affects pair with Rosemary, Peppermint, Thyme, Camomile, Lavender, and Scotts Pine. The god or goddess appealed to should be specific to the subject you wish to gain greater focus and clarity on.
(If it is homework Athena or Apollo do well; also Fabulinus or Ogma)
Don’t forget that the earth is presenting us with a lot of ingredients for spellwork. Collecting things that fall off trees because of the changing seasons is extremely important and just fun.
Some things to remember.
Wear proper protection when harvesting. (gloves are your friend)
Bring sustainable containers.
Don’t forget offerings. - Fruit & Veggie peels work great. Also old tea leaves.
Don’t rip things off. Since there’s so much already on the ground, it can be considered rude to take what’s not offered.
Knowing how to harvest is an important skill when working with witchcraft. If you’re a baby witch or just don’t have as much knowledge regarding harvesting. Make sure you do your research before diving in.
Hello, my greenies! While I love baking and taking the time to really create something delicious, there are also many times where I just wanna pop those pre-made lovely cookies in the oven. So, I have a little witchy coating that you can dust onto your cookies that can help you manifest good energy, or whatever your heart and soul need.
Because this is for general use and manifestation, feel free to play with the recipe as you see fit. When I create any type of dust or coating, I kind of just use my eyes as measurements, so I’ll do my best to give you somewhat of an idea. ***Depends on how many cookies/baked goods you’re making.
Ingredients
1 ½ tbsps of ground cinnamon
1 tbsp of brown sugar
½ tsp vanilla (or a small drop)
pinch of salt
itty bitty pinch of ground ginger
pinch of ground cloves
Directions
Add all the ingredients into a bowl and mix clockwise and say the chant at the end of the recipe or your own. Make sure you’re really thinking about what you’re looking to manifest with this recipe. Say some affirmations and visualize your body being filled and coated in this energy.
Once the ingredients are all squished together and make a flakey crumbly dust, you can either roll the cookies in the dust or sprinkle it on top. ***I love using this on the Holiday Pillsbury Sugar Cookies! Those are my childhood favorites!
Bake the cookies and enjoy when done!
Chant: Just as the moon pushes and pulls the tides, I am in control of my energy. I am strong. I __insert desired manifestation__.
I hope you all enjoy and have a wonderful spooky season! Don’t forget that trick or treat ends on the start of 31st! Let me know which cookies you use this spread on and your samhain plans!
A Journal Series for Witches - I recently released my first witchcraft journal in a brand new series of journals. Fine it on Amazon: https://bit.ly/herbwitch
It’s no secret that I’m attracted to the dark and macabre. Many of my stories reflect that – just look at the genre I love to write in! A lesser known fact would be that I’ve been a practicing witch for over half my life, following a Celtic path. I would say it’s “traditional,” but I was heavily influenced by Wicca and have created a sort of mixture that’s suited me well in life.
