What is Moon magic? Moon magic is basically just using the moon phases for spells. Each moon phase has its own intentions. Lining up the day we do our spells with what phase the moon is in isn't absolutely necessary, but it can give spells an extra boost. Lining up the day of the week does the same thing, check out this post for daily correspondences. Below is the list of moon phases and their intentions.  Moon Phases New or Dark Moon-  Dark magic, banishing, curses, divination, new beginnings, binding, soul searching Waxing Crescent- Growth, attraction, creation, healing, luck, success, friendship, inspiration, courage, motivation, love, power, production Waxing gibbous- Attraction, success, health, final planning, motivation Full Moon- Release, Divination, Cleansing, Repelling, Psychic ability, light work, romance, knowledge, blessing, guidance Waning Gibbous- Cleansing, releasing, letting go Waning Crescent- Removal, protection, cleansing, release, curses, mending relation...

 What is an uncrossing bath for? Sometimes people send curses or hexes our way which will result in us having a "crossed" or blocked condition. Other times we can "cross" ourselves unintentionally. This can happen when we focus too much on the bad, negative, stressful, etc. things in life, from everyday stress and anxiety, a traumatic event, accumulating too much negative energy, and anything else that can cause you to feel blocked in life or your spirituality.  When we are crossed our magic is nowhere near as powerful, bad luck or worse can seem to follow us, It can be almost impossible to focus on any one thing, It can result in physical symptoms such as headaches or other ill-health (Uncrossing is not a guarantee of improved health if you need to, ABSOLUTELY seek medical care as well as doing an uncrossing working), Inability to move on with life, or grow in our spirituality. Taking an uncrossing bath, (recommended to be done 3 consecutive days at least) can dras...

 What is a poppet? Poppets have been used in many cultures for many reasons. The most common and easily recognizable ones are voodoo dolls. Voodoo dolls specifically are of course part of a closed practice and off-limits to outsiders. That doesn't mean ALL poppets are off limits though. They can be very useful in many different types of magic, which I'll go over later in this post. A poppet is basically just a doll made to represent a person a spell is targeted at. They can be used in baneful magic to place a curse or hex on someone, but they can also be used in protective magic, Healing magic, To send someone good luck or good vibes, and plenty of other things. They can be made out of whatever you have on hand, whether that's fabric, felt, straw, corn husks, wood, a rock, whatever. My favorite & the one I'll be talking about the most in this post will be felt or a fabric one.  A few examples of what a poppet can look like with various materials. What goes into a fe...

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. I'll list the specific ways of disposing of a jar at the end of this post.  Keep in mind the lists of ingredients I'm giving with each type of jar is not complete, there's plenty more you could add to them, I could never list it all. The types of jars is also not complete, I couldn't list every time of jar you could make, even if I tried. For most spell jars... You'll want to start by gathering y...

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.

What is a "One-word spell"?  A one-word spell is exactly that: A spell in one word. Short, sweet, and to the point. One-word spells can be made for just about anything. It just takes a little creativity. How do I create a one-word spell? One word spells are created by taking 2 or more words and combining them into one. This can be done in any language you choose to work with or even a combination of different languages mashed together. As long as it feels right and you can pronounce it, that's all that matters. Benefits of using one-word spells Of course, you wouldn't use one-word spells for all your magic because some spells require the extra energy generated doing a full incantation or ritual. But they are great for a little something on the go. One-word spells can be used any time any place. They're easy to remember. One-word spells help slip a little magic into the mundane world. They're fun to create. They can be created for just about anything. They'...

Writing your own spells can seem daunting to new witches, and even to witches who've been practicing for a while. But it doesn't have to be! Below I'll give a template of sorts, some rules, tips and tricks, what to do with spell remnants, and some methods of execution. There's plenty of reasons to write your own spells; maybe you can't find one that fits your intention just right, or the spell calls for tools or herbs you don't have on hand, but you have different tools and herbs to use. Or maybe you just want to make your craft your own, Whatever the case may be, this post should help you get started.  First things first... a few "rules" Always cleanse your tools, space, self, and whatever needs it before a working. Spells do not need to rhyme in order to be effective. Spells do not need a ton of ingredients in order to be effective.  Spells only need a clear, present tense, positive intent. (I don't mean like the spell has to be a positive one...
