What is a spell jar? Spell jars can be made for a wide variety of spells, such as Protection, Sweet jars, Self-love, Abundance, Good luck, Anti-anxiety, Anti-depression, Fertility, Curses/Hexes, and just about anything else you can think of.  Basically, you're going to take all your ingredients and combine them into a jar, then you'll seal the jar shut using wax, string, glue, or anything else that will keep it shut tight. Then you'll dispose of the jar in a specific way or you'll keep it on your altar to shake up every now and then when it needs refreshing.

  What is a pendulum used for? There are many ways to use a pendulum but the easiest and most common way is to answer yes or no questions. It's a fairly simple thing to do but there are a few steps you need to take. Step 1 Clear your mind. It may help to meditate for a few minutes with candles or incense. Whatever works for you, as long as the result is a clear head. Step 2 Get comfortable, preferably with both feet on the ground to ground you. and choose how you feel most comfortable holding your pendulum. Step 3 Learning your pendulums signals. You should ask your pendulum "show me yes." and make a note of what it does, generally, it will swing in a circular motion or swing side to side. Then ask "show me no." and again, make a note of what it does. This step only needs to be done the first time you use your pendulum.  Step 4 Next, you'll want to clarify who you're seeking answers from, Your spirit guides, a deity you work with, your higher self, etc. ...

There are actually countless types of witches. I'm just going to go over 21 of them because I feel these are the most common types. While looking over this list keep in mind there is some overlap between some types and you may fit into more than one type of witch which is totally fine.  Why do types of witches matter? Knowing what type of witch you are, helps you to decide where to focus, what to research, and where your path may lead you. You don't need to fit into one type or another, but with so many different practices and styles, it helps to have an idea of where you land.  Green Witch Can also be called garden or forest witches. They are similar to cottage witches and kitchen witches but they focus more on the earth and nature. They recharge by reconnecting with nature. a preferred method of grounding would be to walk barefoot and feel the earth beneath their feet. Some green witches work with nature spirits or the fae.  Hedge Witch Generally, they practice alone, ...

  What is the wheel of the year? The wheel of the year is the name of the pagan calendar for sabbats or holidays. It has no beginning or ending, It's just a constant cycle. IT's origins are about as old as time, but the modern version used today came about in 1835 by Jacob Grimm. The sabbats are broken down into major and minor ones. The majors are centered around the beginning of spring, the beginning of summer, and the 2 major harvests of late summer and fall. The minor sabbats are centered around the equinoxes. They all alternate in a circular pattern creating the wheel of the year. Samhain October 31st I'm starting with Samhain just because it's often called "The witch's new year" so it makes sense to go over it first. First things first, it's actually pronounced "Sa-ween" or "Sa-veen". It is the final harvest of the season and a time to celebrate death and honor our ancestors. The veil is thinnest on Samhain and Beltane so it...

  Why jinx, curse or hex? We often read about these so-called "dark" or "baneful" magics without being able to distinctly tell them apart. My goal in this post will be to clearly explain what each one is used for and how they work. Some witches don't practice "baneful" magic because it goes against the rule "do no harm" but we believe over here that sometimes karma needs a little help. This is not something to play with, these types of magics should only be used in serious situations. Going around using "baneful" magic at every little inconvenience is just bad form. What is a Jinx? A jinx can be created with conscious or subconscious thought. It doesn't need tools or ingredients and it's very easy to jinx someone subconsciously without even meaning to. A jinx is generally used to cause bad luck, it's fairly harmless and only lasts a short period of time. For example, things like: "I hope (target) steps on a lego....
