Anti-Valentine’s Day Magic

recreationalwitchcraft:

So Valentine’s day might not be your cup of tea. Or, maybe it usually is, but things are different this year. Whatever your reason, and whatever your situation, we’ve got you covered.

1. Repress a romance

Unwanted feelings blooming in your heart recently? Use this simple spell to put those feelings on ice.

2. Avoid Unwanted Attention

This this invisibility glamour to avoid creeps, smalltalk and or people who keep asking you why you’re still single. You don’t need any of that.

3. Banish an unwanted lover

Got an ex who won’t go away? Maybe a fan club of creeps and you’re just not interested? Use this banishing powder to send them off.

4. Galentine’s Day Cocktail Potion

Does Valentine’s day just make you think of all great friendships you have instead? To give your girly celebrations a magical boost, try these witchy cocktails out.

5. Single & Fine Sigil

Need a reminder that you’re happy on your own? Place this sigil somewhere to remind you that you’re just great.

6. Self Love Bath Spell

Still want to do something involving love this Vday? How bout love yourself? 

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.

strangesigils:

I don’t really know what people generally call this method of sigil making, so I’m just calling it “Letter Shaping” because you’re using the basic shapes from certain letters.
This is the most common form of sigil making, and it allows the most creative influence. As you see above the sigils are for nearly the same thing, yet the sigils came out completely different. Not because the purpose was different, but because I approached them both a different creative way, and that’s what I like so much about this method. There’s a lot of freedom and personalization involved.

(UPDATE: Here’s a link to a guide on how to deconstruct letters down to basic shapes)

Depression spell

calistcs:

To fight back your depression when you know you need to get back to your life to do things like everyone else, when you feel like “oh shit, not again, not now” because all of a sudden you can’t get out of bed, and maybe to help a bit when your meds aren’t completely doing their work and you just need to have enough energy. A spell to want to get better.

*It’s totally okay to cry during this, like I feel you, I cried, if you feel like cying and doing this in your bed, you can totally do it. Also I’ll write the correspondences so if you don’t have some ingredients you can replace it with whatever you feel it will work instead of, you know, having to use all your energy in going out to get it instead of managing to do the “I want to live” thing during the day.

What you’ll need:

– A white candle for healing

– Black pepper to banish negativity

– Oregano for happiness and tranquility

– Thyme to keep a positive attitude

– Basil for happiness and to steady the mind.

  • Mix you herbs thinking about their intent, and once they’re ready pour them in a circle, and put the candle in the middle of it. Light it, and say:

“I deserve to get better,

to laugh when others laugh,

to feel enough because I am,

to feel alive because I am”

  • Take in the energy and the positivity of the candle and herbs, and say:

“Earth, help me find the energy I’ve lost.

Fire, give me the strength I need”.

  • Stay with your candle as long as you need to. When it’s done, bury the herbs. You can blow out the candle when you feel ready.

*If you have depression please talk to your doctor, there are plenty treatment possibilities, and you deserve it. This spell does not replace doctors, or meds at all.
