Series of Unfortunate Events curse

-Make a witches ladder and tie it to your target however you’d like (hair, name, etc)

-Tie in items that relate to unlucky things 

used up travel toothpaste-> they never seem to have toothpaste when they need it

a key with a ‘?’ drawn in sharpie-> you’re gonna be late to work, douche

empty battery-> they’re always just too tired to really get any work done

loose pieces of yarn-> so they always have that one strand of hair tickling their arm

a pushpin-> step on something sharp, asshole

a ripped piece of paper with the words “REALLY IMPORTANT THING”->so they always forget that one really important thing

an empty toilet roll-> every. single. time.

broken birthday candle->nobody remembers their birthday

Charge that sucker with your annoyed motherfucking energy and swirl some fucking smoke on it with a few spritzes of cayenne water for good measure. 

Now stuff it in an old sock and forget about it. Or hang it up. You do you.

When putting together any kind of job spell, I always include items/herbs for four intents:

Wealth - actual physical currency I can use to pay bills and buy food.

Prosperity - long term ‘doing well for myself’ beyond just ‘having money for food and bills’, but really having at least the potential to Go Places

Luck - because heck knows I need luck in job interviews and to get people to look at my resume and application

Happiness - oh god, I didn’t include this in the first job spells I did, and LEMME TELL YOU, I wound up with a job that paid decently and had lots of potential for promotion, and I ABSOLUTELY COULD NOT STAND my boss or my coworkers, the work itself was awful, and I cannot describe the absolute dread that filled me before going in to every shift.

[Protip: Aventurine has all four of these properties]

Mud Magick

inspired by @curseworm and her love of dirt

(all associations are my own, this is just a personal guide)

Garden mud- hard work, growth, health, grounding

Pathway mud- obstacles, cursing, travel

Graveyard mud- spiritual communication, banishing, memory

Woodland mud- secrets, animal communication, invocation, peace

River mud- change, cleansing, blessings

Things to try

When you clean the mud off your boots, let all the negativity you’ve picked up along the way go with it

Get a jar of pathway mud and put someone’s name in it. This will make it harder for them to achieve their goals (ahem, ahem, Trump)

As usual- don’t take anything from private private property (unless you have permission) and don’t trespass. that’s just illegal and id like you to be safe

and it might be wise to leave a gift when you take something from nature, but that’s a personal choice

Reading Candles for Yes/No Answers

High, steady flame: Yes

Low, steady flame: No

Short, weak flame: No

Dancing flame:Needs more focus. Reground and try again.

Violent flickering flame: Strong no. Take this as a warning if you are certain this isn’t caused by an outside force or natural defect in candle.

Sputtering/Cracking flame: There is more to your answer than a simple yes or no,

Dual flame: Thinking, wait for answer.

Flame leaning to left: Yes

Flame leaning to right: No

Candle will not light: Ask later

Candle will not go out: You are not done yet. There is more you need to hear.

Candle goes out during session: Now is not the time to ask.

How To Make Flower Soaps

DIY Recipe here.

Friendly tip for the poor witch: craft stores (I got a pack these for $3 at Jo-Ann Fabrics) carry little glass vials. They are travel size and perfect for herbs and altars. I have cloves, salt, mint and cinnamon in mine. They are cheap, cute and durable! Craft stores are a witch’s best friend

Reminder, solar eclipse water!!!

If you live in America mark on your calendars that August 21 will be the solar eclipse. It will peak at 2:44pm EST ( do a bit of research to see what you’ll be able to see and your locally occurring time).

I also highly suggest you collect solar eclipse water during this time. Solar eclipse water is good for supercharging spells to give it an extra kick if you need it as well as it works very well for spells involving transformation, change, or release.

I buy small jars and cut old wine corks into corks that fit!
