Various Sigils for the Dead.

If some of these look familiar, it’s because they’re shaped as common symbols on gravestones. Here they are explained:

Love eternity, sweet child - for departed children. Shaped as a butterfly, sometimes depicted on children’s graves.

My departed family is still with me - for ancestor work. Shaped like clasped hands, common on graves of family members and married couples.

My love is beside me - for departed loved ones and partners. Shaped like a hear for obvious reasons, but also with a circle, symbolizing eternity and reincarnation.

We value your sacrifice - for veterans and others who put their lives on the line for us. Shaped like oak leaves; oak trees are common in military cemeteries, as they symbolize steadfastness and bravery.

Nature spirits be honored - for the death of nature or nature spirits. Shaped like a dragonfly, to illustrate the departed soul.

You are still my loved child - for departed babies and miscarriages. Shaped as a lily, which represents innocence, purity, and a life cut short.

Forever my friend - for departed friends, shaped as an eagle to carry the message and keep the friendship strong.

May your soul forever be at peace - a general sigil for the dead, in the shape of a poppy, for restful sleep.

This was a very emotional project for me. Please use with respect. Do not delete caption.

Inexpensive Offerings

An orange peel with olive oil in it, stem burns like a candle, and remains decompose afterwards (honestly any oil will do if you don't have olive oil specifically but it works best)

A journal, write to your deity in it (you can get a little creative with this one, it can be physical such as a traditional journal or scrapbook or you could make a discord as a way to "talk" to them everyday or something like that)

Write them letters and burn them (or bury them*, or put them in a folder, or rip them up and throw them in the wind* or a river *as long as the material is friendly to nature. This also depends on the nature of the deity)

Poetry! You can speak it out loud or put in in a digital folder, but I personally put in in a decorated envelope on their altar space.

Tea, just make a little extra when you make some for yourself.

Rainwater, moon water, snow water, etc.

Origami, paper also decomposes outside

Sigils, make one for them and draw it on you as often as you'd like

Playlists (or you can sing to them/play music yourself)

Pinterest aesthetic boards

Art in general (this includes theatrical arts)

Talk to the moon at night (specifically for night related dieties) OR lay out in the sun

Keep a plant for them

Depending on the pantheon, you can consume foods as an offering

(This one is little weird for some but if you have reptiles, certain deities do appreciate sheds)

Certain deities will also enjoy helping you in your craft, you can request guidance if you want to use learning as a devotional act itself

a small self-love jar i made for my friend

ingredients: cinnamon, sugar, dry pink rose petals, oak bark dust (for protection), ashes of self-love sigil, a bit of rose water and pink candle for sealing everything 🌸💕

spell jar for attracting positive things into your life

slightly adapted from samra haksever, author of mama moon’s book of magic, but is mostly the same. includes quotes from her book in the steps for how to create the jar

not my gif

this spell jar is best crafted on a Sunday, when you can channel the energy of the day, and look back on your achievements of the past week.

✿ ✿ ✿ ✿ ✿ ✿

you will need,

7 small strips of paper

a pen

a mason jar, or a jar of similar size

2-3 cinnamon sticks

a pinch of patchouli, but i used rosemary

a magnet or lodestone crystal

orange or white wax (optional)

the cinnamon brings your happiness blessings, and the magnet and patchouli draw many more of these good things to you.

✿ ✿ ✿ ✿ ✿ ✿

“on each piece of paper, write down something that has made you happy over the past week; this is the time to celebrate anything and everything, from seeing a cute dog in the park and treating yourself to a cup of coffee on your commute, to taking an afternoon nap.

“fold the papers up, put them in the jar with the cinnamon sticks, patchouli/rosemary and magnet, then place the jar on a windowsill that gets plenty of sunlight.”

“optional, seal with orange or white wax. if you decide not to seal the jar, add to it as and when, or even try to make it a Sunday ritual.”

This one actually required a lil bit of guts to post because while this works for me, I’m just starting to branch out of the research phase of witchcraft and starting to do my own practice, but I’m still petrified of doing things “wrong.” That disclaimer aside, I’m gonna explain what I’ve been working on and experimenting with.

So I’ve been making spell jars with candles on top lately. The idea here is that the spell jar is harnessing the energy of its contents when the candle is burning. That’s my intention for it anyway, and it seems to be working quite well.

This particular one I made today for the purpose of cleansing residual energy after I’ve helped a spirit cross over. I’ve had some issues with spirits in my apartment lately so that’s the reason for this.

It contains: 💧Stream Water (for cleansing) 💧Swamp Water (for banishing) 🌱Juniper leaves + berries (for cleansing and protection against malignant forces) 🍃 Violet Leaves (protection against evil)

(Also I’m totally aware that the ingredients list in my grimoire includes sage. I just forgot to add the sage before I sealed it lol).

I tried it out and it works pretty well. After I helped this one spirit cross over, I left it burning where she was standing for a few minutes and the residual energy was lessened but not gone. I’d imagine I’d need to let it burn for longer.

Anyway this was a little insight into my current practice. Maybe it could serve as an idea for someone else, or maybe I’m about to get roasted. I don’t really know.

Either way, thanks for reading ☺️

Healing for Others

Sometimes, those you care about are having a rough time. And you want to help! It’s natural to want to use what you know to help others. Here’s a spell I use to do just that.

What You Need:

turquoise

amethyst

lavender

rose petals

red candle

Now, set it all up. Candle in the middle, I sprinkled the lavender and rose petals around said candle. The lavender is to help soothe my particular person’s deep sadness, while the rose petals symbolize my love for them. 

I held the amethyst in one hand, for protection and clearing mind clutter, allowing for clarity and healing. Turquoise for another type of protection, more physical. Both to help clear the person’s mind and aid them.

Then, I focused. Focused on how much I cared for the person, how much they meant to me, times we’d had in the past that meant so much to me. I thought of how my strength was given to them and how I wanted them to be better and safer and feel loved. 

After a little while of this, I bottle the exact lavender and rose petals I used to give to the person at a later date!

Casting Your First Spell: A Step-by-Step Guide

Casting your first spell is an enchanting and empowering moment on your witchcraft journey. It's an act of manifesting your intentions and connecting with the magic that resides within and around you. Whether you're a beginner or simply looking for a refresher, this step-by-step guide will help you cast your first spell with safety, intention, and ethical considerations in mind.

🕯️🌟✨

Step 1: Set Your Intention 🌌🔮

Begin by clarifying your intention. What do you wish to achieve with your spell? Be specific and ensure your intention aligns with your highest good and the greater good of all involved. Remember the ethical guideline: "An it harm none, do what ye will."

Step 2: Choose Your Tools 🌿🕯️

Select tools that correspond to your intention. For a simple spell, a colored candle, crystals, and herbs that match your purpose are often sufficient. For example, a green candle for prosperity or rose quartz for love.

Step 3: Create Sacred Space 🌟🏞️

Find a quiet and undisturbed space for your spell. You can cast your spell indoors or outdoors, but ensure you feel safe and comfortable. Light the candle and, if desired, cast a protective circle to create a sacred space.

Step 4: Ground and Center 🌳🌠

Ground yourself by visualizing roots extending from your body into the Earth. Center your energy by focusing on your breath and releasing any tension or distraction. Feel connected to the Earth and the universe.

Step 5: State Your Intention Aloud 🗣️📜

Speak your intention aloud with confidence and sincerity. You can use a chant, a rhyme, or simply state your intention clearly and concisely. This vocalization empowers your intention with your voice and energy.

Step 6: Visualization 🌈🌌

Close your eyes and visualize your intention manifesting. Feel the emotions associated with your desire as if it's happening right now. See it clearly in your mind's eye and believe that it's already on its way to you.

Step 7: Focus Your Energy 🧙‍♀️💫

Hold your chosen tools and focus your energy on your intention. Imagine the energy flowing from your body into the tools, charging them with your purpose. Feel the power within you.

Step 8: Release the Energy 🌬️🔥

When you sense that the energy is at its peak, release it into the universe. Blow out the candle if you've used one, or simply release your energy into the cosmos, trusting that it will work on your behalf.

Step 9: Express Gratitude 🙏🌸

Thank the universe, your deities, or any spiritual guides you work with for their assistance. Gratitude enhances the flow of positive energy in your life.

Step 10: Close the Circle (if applicable) 🌀🌕

If you cast a circle, release it by thanking the elements and spirits for their presence and assistance. Imagine the energy of the circle dissipating.

Step 11: Release Attachment and Trust 🕊️🌠

Release any attachment to the outcome of your spell. Trust that the universe is working to manifest your intention in the right way and at the right time.

🕯️🌟✨

Remember that spellwork is a practice, and like any skill, it improves with time and dedication. Approach your craft with respect for yourself and the world around you, and may your spells be a source of positive transformation in your life.

Casting your first spell is a beautiful milestone on your magical journey. Embrace the magic within you, and may it bring you growth, joy, and a deeper connection to the mysteries of the universe.

🌙 Lazy Witch Tip: As you softly call upon the elements, write your spell on the air with either the tip of your finger or a crystal point. When you’re finished, gently blow your spell into the universe. Feel the breeze against your skin and be at peace.
