So You Think You’ve been Cursed

recreationalwitchcraft:

You probably haven’t. Honestly. Being cursed requires a lot, most notably someone to curse you (there’s just not that many magical practitioners in the world, fewer even that curse, least of whom care about cursing you). But you’re probably in someone’s inbox insisting that you’ve definitely been curse, so lets begin this journey. 

Before you do anything check if you’ve actually been cursed. I recommend these links. If you still think you’re cursed, keep reading. 

Now start by cleansing yourself. You’ll be little use magically if you have a curse bogging down your body and mind. I find that spells which physically cleanse the body work the best.

Next cleanse others you think may have been cursed. People are often concerned that their whole family has been cursed. If Grandma’s down for a magical ritual bath that’s ideal, but often not the case. Here are some way to slip in cleansing magic under the radar. 

Continue with the cleansing theme and cleanse your physical space. Doing a smoke cleansing is typically the most effective, but these are suggestions if you are unable to go that route.

Now it time to switch over to protecting yourself. Don’t wipe your slate clean only to leave yourself open to another attack. Do one of these on a regular basis to keep your bases covered.

Finally protect your space, and this can incapsulate the people in it. Along the same line as protecting yourself, make sure to maintain these on a regular basis.

Bonus: If you’re not really the “forgive and forget” kind of person (and you know decisively who cursed you) we have a post to help you get your revenge. 

Note: This post is geared towards beginner witches or those otherwise not magically inclined. If there’s truly been an extensive curse put on you, try these suggestions and if their effect is minimal then go seek out a magical practitioner in your area that can help you further.

The Serpent’s Lock

The seal of protection, privacy and invisibility – can be stamped or marked on documents to protect them from prying eyes, lest the witches’ venom befall them. Can also be used to hide oneself from that which walks on the astral plane. 

The Serpent’s Key

Used to see that which is hidden – aiding in the perception of the Unseen: be it spirits, deities, omens, etc. It might also be employed to find lost or hidden objects, and expose secret truths people are hiding. In addition, it can also be used to reverse the Serpent’s Lock if the key is added.

Oneiromancy: the basics

thesterlingwitch:

Oneiromancy comes from the greek word for dreams and is a form of divination based on dream interpretation.

The goal of oneiromancy is to analyze the symbolism and happenings in your’s or another’s dreams to give insight to the past, present, or future, or to understand a message that an outside force (gods, spirits, your higher self) is sending you. It is a very personalized form of divination, as everyone makes different connections and associations in their own mind.

Steps to Take:

1) Keep a dream journal.

  • Take any old journal you have that you can write in and keep it by your bedside along with a pen or pencil. Every morning, or even during the middle of the night if you wake up, write your dreams into the journal. 
  • Even if you don’t remember your dreams, write something every morning, such as “I don’t remember” just to keep in the habit of writing.
  • Alternatively, you can keep a voice recorder near you and talk about your dreams instead of writing. This can actually be much easier for some people.
  • Read over your dreams every week to find patterns and recurring themes.

2) Avoid “dream dictionaries”.

  • These are books with alphabetized lists of symbols found in dreams and their potential meanings. These books are overgeneralized and very likely to undermine your own intuition.

3) Practice meditation.

  • It’s important in dream interpretation to be comfortable in your mind, since you are reading your own unconscious. Morning or bedtime meditations will help you with both dream recall and getting yourself in a state to receive or understand information.
  • Taking some time every day to simply enjoy the weather or “stopping to smell the roses” will help you with receiving clearer messages from the universe.
  • Practicing mindful meditation will help you in focusing your intent on what you want to dream about. It will help you learn to observe thoughts without analyzing, which can lead to clouded perceptions.

4) Try things like dream tea, bath magic, or making a dream pillow.

  • Drink a calming tea 20 minutes before bed to prepare yourself for sleep. Look for teas with ingredients that relate to inducing sleep or dream states.
  • Ritual bathing can be very calming and relaxing, and with specially added essential oils, it can help to encourage dreams or make it easier to reach meditative states.
  • Dream pillows are sachets made with ingredients to help the flow of sleep and to encourage dreaming. Place one under your pillow before going to sleep.

The goal of all of these steps is to help dream recall so that you may look back on and analyze the symbolism in your dream and understand the messages you may be receiving. While not every dream may be a message from a deity or an insight into the future, these steps will help you better recognize when one is. 

The last step is to look at the symbolism present in your dreams and find any outstanding connections they may have with the waking world. You may also incorporate other forms of divination, such as pendulum, tarot, or oracle, to better understand the message.
