"My love is my strength, not my weakness": A sigil inspired by The Last Unicorn

In The Last Unicorn, our main protagonist does not feel love or grieve the same way that humans do. This mostly serves as a strength to her, as she can get through obstacles without those types of emotions clouding her judgment. However, after spending time as a human and falling in love with Prince Lir, love and grief become strengths to her. It is only after the Red Bull threatens Lir's life that she gains the courage to stand up to the beast and free her brothers and sisters who have been imprisoned in the sea.

Unicorns have been on my mind lately. I had an older sister who is no longer with me who adored unicorns, and since experiencing the loss of my little chihuahua mix, they've been appearing everywhere to me. I'm going with my gut and taking it as a sign that I should be incorporating unicorn myths and folklore into my practice, so I decided to take this theme from one of my favorite movies and make something with it.

Love can be a strength or a weakness depending on the situation. If we let it cloud our judgment and ignore the red flags of a person or a situation, we fall into dangerous territory. We could let down our guard and weaken our boundaries which makes us vulnerable to manipulation. However, love can also be a strength. Love can give us the courage to fight when we feel all hope is lost. Love can give us the bravery we need to protect the people in our lives who need it most. This sigil is meant to be used to allow us to use our love as a strength. Use it to prevent toxic people from taking advantage of your kindness and to prevent yourself from seeing the warning signs of terrible people. You can also use it for situations where you will need extra strength to help those you love who are in need.

🌑New Moon🌑

A new moon ritual doesn’t have to be fancy or complicated. The candles weren’t even necessary, I just happened to have them.

Get a pen, and two slips of paper.

On one, write down everything you’d like to release.

On the other, everything you’d like to invite (usually the opposite of what you release but it can be something else).

You can burn candles if you like.

When you’re done, dispose of the releasing list.

workplace witchcraft - memory and awareness

lately, I’ve been feeling like I’m losing my mind at work, like forgetting tasks that my manager asked me to do, etc, and it’s been pretty overwhelming and draining on my self confidence (it’s even followed me into anxiety dreams where all I do is forget simple things at work!)

I decided to make a little spell jar to give my memory and awareness an extra boost!

rosemary - for mental clarity and performance

dandelion seeds - for effortlessness and lightness of heart

ginger powder - for healing and alertness

red pepper flakes - for intensity and energy

bit of chili powder - for an extra kick in my ass!

sealed with red wax, for strength, power, and confidence :)

“Protect This Object”

Write directly on object or write on piece of paper and place on/in object!

🍃 Spell for Reassurance 🍃

As someone who suffers from mental health issues, I often need reassurance to help me push forward. This spell combines advice from my doctor on how to heal from past trauma or troubles, and fill yourself with love.

(side note: no spell or magick can replace a doctor. A doctor should be your very first step for any physical or non-physical healing. This spell is only an additional supplement and may not be right for everyone.) 

🍃  Gather  🍃 

✨ Bottle

✨ White Candle (for peace)

✨ Paper & Pen

✨ Obsidian (to dispel negative energy)

✨ Citrine (for healing)

(side note: if you prefer not to use citrine because it is heat treated amethyst that is fine. Amethyst can be substituted in for it’s calming abilities)

✨ Salt (for protection)

✨ Basil (for love and protection)

✨ Parsley (for Love and Protection)

✨ Rosemary (for healing)

✨ Thyme (for healing)

✨ Turmeric (for purification)

🍃  Process 🍃

✨ Begin by grabbing your pen, paper, and obsidian. Hold the obsidian in your hand as you think of a phrase of protection. Mine was, “I am safe, there is no pain here.”

✨ With the obsidian in your hand write the phrase on the paper. Let the energy from your obsidian dispel any negative thought. When your finished roll it into a size that will fit into your bottle.

✨ Prepare your other ingredients. Let each herb touch the citrine. Let them absorb citrine’s healing power.

✨ Layer in your salt, basil, parsley, rosemary, thyme, and turmeric into the bottle. Somewhere halfway through place your rolled note into the bottle and let it be covered.

✨ Close your bottle and light a white candle. Gently wave your bottle of the smoke for purification, then use the melted wax to seal your bottle.

🍃 Moving Forward 🍃

Keep the finished spell bottle somewhere you can easily and quickly find it. On it’s own in will fill whatever room or space it’s placed in with positive energy.

Whenever you feel extra anxious or upset grab the bottle and hold it in your hands. Repeat the phrase written inside the bottle, while breathing deeply. Let the phrase and the love from the bottle lift you up.

Repeat as often as needed.
