Later I’m going to post a super intense all purpose (but mainly protection) powder, but I know how hard it can be to get all the ingredients you need. Here’s a great powder to protect your space and yourself as you go and sling those spells!
What you need:
Basil
Garlic
Rosemary
Sage
Salt
A jar
Mortar and Pestle (or food processor)
Optional:
Dragon’s Blood Resin
Ginger
Ashes of a sigil of protection
What to do:
Get all of your dried ingredients together
Grind them in portions in your mortar and pestle until it’s a fine/coarse grainy texture.
or
Throw them all in your food processor and give it several pulses until it’s a fine/coarse grainy texture.
Carefully pour into your jar
Optional:
Hold over a fire/leave it out in the sun/moon to charge it
Instructions:
Dust over thresholds after cleansing the area to allow only positive energy to come through.
Dust over windowsills to make sure nothing with slimy energy oozes in.
Put a pinch in the corners of a room to protect the area from arguments.
Put a small pinch in your shoes before you leave each morning to help protect you.
Not sure when you posted this but I am sending you some calm and health

I am in desperate need of some healing in my right shoulder, elbow, wrist and hand. All the moving and cleaning that we have done has left me bruised, internally and externally, and with me not being able to lift my arm very far.
We still have plenty to do and I am sick of being made to feel guilty due to my pain. I am the unemployed one, so I’m doing most of the work alone / with a 3 yr old in tow.
I beg of you all, please hold me in your prayers, or spells, or whatever you specialize in. I’d also appreciate spells that I could perform myself if anyone has them to offer.
Thank you in advance. ❤❤
Rowena’s Anti-Anxiety Incense
Personally, this is one of my favourite spells, simply because it is both incredibly simple and incredibly effective. This loose incense can be burned for rituals or used as a carried remedy for everyday fears and worries.
What you will need: • 1 part jasmine (fresh, dried or resin, which I’ve used in the photos above) • 1 part dried sage • 1 pinch of sea salt • 2 candles, preferably white • a blessed or charged bowl and grinder • a lighter or matches • 2 small glass jars • a spoon or funnel • some dried wood pieces
Optional: • 2 charged gemstones of your choice (for this I’ve chosen garnet) • An essential oil of your choice (I recommend lavender or peppermint)
Directions: 1. Prep your bowl with a quick rinse and dry to remove any dust or impurities
2. Light your candles and set your gemstones in place around your bowl.
3. Prep the ingredients - Crumble your sage and jasmine, measure out your salt
4. Add sage, jasmine and salt to your bowl.
5. Grind your ingredients together. Make sure you are focusing your energies onto your goal. Maintain a calm state of mind and state your desires aloud if you can.
6. When you feel your ingredients are sufficiently ground, take the bowl between your hands, close your eyes and ground yourself. This is the most important part of the process. Keep your mind focused upon what you would like to achieve with this incense. If you’re preparing it for a love one, think of what you would like them to get from your gift. When you feel as though you have your desires in mind, take three slow breaths. On each exhale imagine yourself pushing energy from your third eye into the incense itself. Once you have finished charging your incense you may open your eyes.
7. Using your spoon/funnel, fill each jar about half full with your new incense and cork them firmly. Make sure to leave a little bit of incense in the bowl for the closing of the ritual.
8. Arrange the wood pieces in along with the remainder of your incense. Light the wood aflame and allow it to burn while you recite any closing remarks.
9. Extinguish the flame with some water and blow out your candles. You’re finished!

Negative associations are: frivolity, gossip fickleness, inattention, bragging, forgetfulnes, windstorms, tornadoes, hurricanes and the like.

Fire Rules the south quarter of the circle. Its Dragon ruler is Fafnir (faf’-neer) who oversees the Dragons of Fire and the sunbeams. Its color is pure red and is warm and dry. Fire is: noon, summer, the dagger and sword, candles, incense burner, the sun, blood, laser surgery, enthusiasm, activity, change, passion, courage, daring, will power & leadership.

Water
Water governs the western quarter of the circle. Its Dragon ruler is Naelyan (Nail’-yon), who oversees the Dragons of the sea, springs, lakes, ponds and rivers. Its colour is pure blue; and it is cold and moist. Positive aspects are: sunset, autumn, the water chalice, compassion, peacefulness, forgiveness, love, intuition, calmness, peace of mind.

Akasha
The white, black and “special” dragons rule the center of the circle and balance all the other elements into a cool, even grey tone of Magic. Through invocation of these dragons of light and darkness, the Magic User is able to mix a blend of elements that will bring forth the desired manifestation. Some would scoff at the idea of a Dragon of Light, mixing energies with a Chaos Dragon or any other “darkly aligned” Dragon. Unfortunately, those sceptics are usually Role Players; Gamers if you will. The concept of darkness blending with light makes perfect sense to the experienced magic user, just as the concept of “tough love” makes perfect sense to a psychologist. It is the same concept.
My dash isn’t as witchy as I’d like it to be
Reblog/like if you post
- spells - artwork (personal or other) - photography (personal or other) - witch tips - pagan/Wiccan or other magick related religions - occult knowledge - paranormal - really anything that falls under the spectrum of “witchy”
To enchant an item is to infuse it with magickal energy. This energy can come from a variety of sources, including planets, crystals, herbs, or even yourself.
Some individuals use the words “enchant” and “charm” synonymously as a way to describe the process of infusing something with energy, but for the sake of this post and due to my own beliefs, you enchant something and it then becomes a charm. Alternately, a charm can be something with its own innate energy, like a crystal or herbal amulet.
The process of enchanting is extremely versatile and there are many ways to do it successfully, so long as you keep your intent clear in your mind. My personal preference when it comes to enchanting items is to allow 12-24 hours (overnight or a full day) for the item to be infused with energy and become a charm - although, this is completely left up to the individual spell-caster.
Here are a few ideas on how to enchant items, in no particular order:
Surround the item with crystals of corresponding intent
Surround the item with herbs of corresponding intent
Place the item in a jar filled with herbs that represent your intent
Place the item in front of a candle and meditate on your intent
Anoint the item with an oil, charged water, or crystal elixir of corresponding intent
Hold the item in your hand(s) and visualize it filling with the appropriate energy
Hold the item in your hand(s) and speak your intent aloud
Craft a sigil or symbol to keep near the item in an envelope or sachet
Sew, stitch, or carve a sigil into the item (thanks @stormbornwitch !)
Write your intention on paper and keep in an envelope with the item
Pair the item with a corresponding runestone or tarot / oracle card in an envelope
Take the item and put it in a box with other items that represent your intent such as crystals, herbs, talismans, amulets, etc.
Bury the item in soil with herbs and/or crystals that match your intent (please don’t put salt on your lawn though, unless you want dead grass)
Pass the item through incense smoke that matches your intent

Items Needed:
Either a pre-made stuffed toy or sewing pattern for a stuffed doll and stuffing
Scissors
Needle and thread
A Crystal/Stone you connect with
Lavender or similiar aromatic herb that you enjoy
A slip of paper and a pen
Instructions:
Either create a stuffed doll or buy one. It can be an animal, a person, or whatever stuffed toy you personally connect with. It can even be modeled after your familiar.
Cut a small hole in the stuffed toy’s back and begin stuffing it with lavender. As you do this step, feel the doll become purified of any outside energies that may have previously clung to it. Visualize the toy becoming a completely blank slate that will soon be charged with the protective and loving powers of the lavender. You have now given the doll a purpose.
Take the crystal and charge it with your intent. This doll will serve as your companion in times of need, in times when you feel there is no one else there for you. Once the crystal is charged to your liking, place the crystal inside the doll. You have now given the doll a “soul.”
Take a slip of paper and write down whatever name you wish to give your new Lonely Doll. Write down any other traits you wish the doll to have on slips of paper. Stuff these into the doll. You have now given the doll an identity.
Sew up the doll with the thread.
Whenever you feel sad or lonely, talk to your Lonely Doll. Hug your Lonely Doll and feel its comforting energy. Do not abuse or berate your Lonely Doll. Cleanse your Lonely Doll with clear quartz or blessed water from time to time to avoid a build up of sad energies.
So, I have a lot of these asks in my inbox right now, and it’s not really an ask meme, it’s an entire area of astrology! I figured it’d be easiest to just make a post on what areas and ways you may attract certain signs or placements.
The placements here are likely to draw in people of certain signs or planetary dominants. Usually, it will attract the Suns, Risings and dominants of these signs.
Below, in no particular order, are areas of your chart that may attract certain people or placements.
Your Moon Element will attract the same element and it’s pairing one. For example, a fire moon will attract fire and air moons. This is because your inner workings and feelings are understood by each other more so than typically incompatible elements, like water and air.
Your Rising Element will also attract the same element and it’s pairing one, but it may attract the Rising or Sun sign. For example, an earth rising will attract earth suns and/or risings. This is because your flow and ego is attractive to those who think and appear like you too, rather than those who are more reserved or wild than yourself.
Your Rising Sign is likely to attract, and in turn be drawn to, it’s sister sign. This can be in Sun, Rising or Dominance. This is because your ascendant is the opposite of your descendant, and this is the type of person we look for and admire. For example, Virgo Risings have Pisces Descendants, so are attracted/attractive to Pisces Suns, Risings and/or Dominance as the two act as a whole.
Stelliums which you may have will attract people of a certain sign. If you have a Stellium in a sign, such as Aries, you will attract Aries. This could be Aries Sun, Rising or Dominant. It may also attract Mars, Fire or 1st house dominance. If you have a Stellium in a house, such as the 3rd house, you will attract Gemini. This could be Gemini Sun, Rising or Dominant. It may also attract Mercury, Air or 3rd house dominance. A list of possible sign and house stelliums and the placements they may attract is below. The people you attract may not be mathematically dominant in these ways, but they may be prominent in their chart, like in their Moon or Mars placements.
Aries/1st House Stellium: Aries, Mars, Sun, 1st House, Fire dominance
Taurus/2nd House Stellium: Taurus, Venus, Moon, 2nd House, Earth dominance
Gemini/3rd House Stellium: Gemini, Mercury, 3rd House, Air dominance
Cancer/4th House Stellium: Cancer, Moon, Jupiter, 4th House, Water dominance
Leo/5th House Stellium: Leo, Sun, 5th House, Fire dominance
Virgo/6th House Stellium: Virgo, Mercury, 6th House, Earth dominance
Libra/7th House Stellium: Libra, Venus, 7th House, Air dominance
Scorpio/8th House Stellium: Scorpio, Mars, Pluto, 8th House, Water dominance
Sagittarius/9th House Stellium: Sagittarius, Jupiter, 9th House, Fire dominance
Capricorn/10th House Stellium: Capricorn, Saturn, Mars, 10th House, Earth dominance
Aquarius/11th House Stellium: Aquarius, Uranus, Saturn, 11th House, Air dominance
Pisces/12th House Stellium: Neptune, Jupiter, Venus, Pisces, 12th House, Water dominance
Your Dominant Sign will also attract certain signs. For example, if you are Aquarius dominant, it is likely you attract air or fire Sun and Risings, as well as fellow air/fire dominants.
Your Dominant Planet will also attract certain signs as it is the energy dominant within you. A list is given below. The sign in capitals is the sign ruled by this planet, so it is the most likely to be drawn to you. The one in normal case is where this planet exalts, so whilst they are drawn to you, it is not as much as the first.
Sun dominant: LEO, Aries
Moon dominant: CANCER, Taurus
Mercury dominant: GEMINI, VIRGO
Venus dominant: TAURUS, LIBRA, Pisces
Mars dominant: ARIES, SCORPIO, Capricorn
Jupiter dominant: SAGITTARIUS, PISCES, Cancer
Saturn dominant: CAPRICORN, AQUARIUS, Libra
Uranus dominant: AQUARIUS, Scorpio
Neptune dominant: PISCES, Leo, Cancer (People debate whether Neptune exalts in Leo or Cancer - to keep peace I have written both)
Pluto dominant: SCORPIO, Pisces, Aries (People debate whether Pluto exalts in Pisces or Aries - to keep peace I have written both)
For example, someone with Jupiter dominant is likely to attract Sagittarius dominants. Or, equally, someone with Sagittarius dominant is likely to attract Jupiter dominants.
There are even more areas you could personally look, but referring to this list can give you a good idea. For example, if you have Scorpio Venus and Mars, you can tell from this you’re likely to attract Pluto dominants, Taurus Risings, and/or people with 8th house stelliums.
Your Midheaven can also work here for the first attraction! For example, I was instantly attracted to my boyfriend when I first saw him as he was a mystery to me, and as it turns out his Midheaven is the sister of mine. The basic rule for this first sight attraction would be like this:
Opposite signs: Mysterious, wanting to know more, seemingly the same yet different to you
Element match: Similar, you feel they are like you in some way
Compatible elements: You seem to appreciate them for who they appear to be, but know you are not one in the same
Midheaven ruled by same planet: You seem so different, but there is a similar energy within you
You can obviously attract and be attracted to any Midheaven, but these matches would stand out for the purposes of this post
