Low Energy/Effort Witchcraft
Are you perpetually busy? Never have any spoons? This might be the post for you. Note that not everything here may be considered low energy or low effort to everyone, and that's okay :)
Carry a crystal around based on what you need. I have a black tourmaline bracelet that absorbs negative vibes throughout the day. I stick it on a selenite slab when I get home to cleanse overnight, then rinse and repeat in the morning.
Put a bay leaf in your wallet to attract money. If you have time, draw a sigil or a $/£/€ on it.
Dedicate anything you drink to your deities if you have any. I dedicate water and black tea to everyone and my favourite raspberry tea to Hathor. Coffee is for Caim.
Enchant your pill case so you remember to take them on time. Enchant your pills to work efficiently. ("Anxiety begone. Ye be banished" on all of my anxiety pills ✌️)
Draw a sigil on your body wash bottle to remove bad vibes or carve a sigil in a bar of soap.
Enchant your moisturizer to repel the evil eye. I fucking love this one.
Incorporate colour magic into the socks you wear (Goths who wear hot pink socks, I'm looking at you).
Enchant your charger so it doesn't break and so you don't lose it. Enchant your phone too while you're at it.
Sorry, I love enchantments--
Uhhhhh
Match those big ol jar candles to different intentions. Burn a cedar candle to cleanse/banish. Burn a cinnamon candle to draw in prosperity. Burn a citrus candle to uplift mood. This one is fantastic for broom closet witches.
Got a humidifier? Fill it up with moon water. You're welcome ;D
Politely ask the spirits of your plants to ward your space. Feed two birds with one scone this way.
Witchy social media. Scrolling on Tumblr and learning something new about witchcraft counts as witchcraft imo. Saving tarot spreads from Instagram for later counts too. Making Pinterest boards for literally anything also counts.
Keep a digital grimoire if doing it on paper costs too many spoons. I have used Google docs & drive in the past but I currently use Notion (You can copy and paste this way!)
If you still want a physical grimoire, print your stuff out and stick it in a binder or glue it in your journal. Boom. Physical grimoire
Listen to witchcraft related videos in the background while you do other tasks or chores in your home
Preparing a meal? Toss in spices that correspond with good health and drawing in positivity, or any other intention you have
Enchant your glasses to help you focus and "read between the lines" or see what wants to remain hidden (this one is a lifesaver at my job)

Salt Your Sigils, Walk With Chalk
There are few things we consistently have with us when we leave the house: keys, wallet/phone and clothes. Of those clothes you wear, they change daily, but your shoes may not.
There’s tons of folklore about shoes and steps and turns of phrase, so why not use them as a tool?
There’s the helm of awe on the heels, moons and star on the inside heel, and an all seeing eye.
Why not draw the sigils you need on the soles of your shoes? Use some chalk and hop to it! Protection, travel, speed, discretion, do some hex work by writing the name of someone on the soles and spend the day trampling them.
Alternatively, you can draw on brick, walls, the ground and possibly shoes (haven’t tried) with salt.
You can get salt rocks online for a few bucks and they’ll last a loooong time. Treat them like chalk, when scraped against rough surfaces they leave a white trail and it’s an easy and less mess way of carrying salt with you for Witching on the go.
Draw a circle wherever you feel the need to do a working, sigils, staves, symbols, gliphs, anything you would trace or draw can have extra oomph behind it by physically drawing it with something of the earth.
🦇Cheers, Barberwitch

The owls are not what they seem. If the elites want to play with pagan gods, let the pagan gods awaken in them care for the environment and compassion for all peoples and living things…
I have power here
Draw this sigil anywhere to expand your turf, mark your boundaries, power up your spells, embolden your abilities...
The linking sigil is a sigil that was made back in about 2003 by a man named Arjil to break certain views of consensual reality, and to make the world a more magical place by connecting acts of magick together. This sigil was also used to assault the consensual reality of people who we’re not yet awakened, and was heavily used by the group DKMU. This symbol became famous between chaos magicians, and has become very powerful, and well-known in the magickal community.
The linking sigil is also called ellis, or the ellis sigil. Ellis is connected to all the other ellis sigils through a connection called the ellis web. This web allows the ellis sigil to call upon energies from other places where the ellis sigil was drawn, in order to empower your magickal workings with the energies that have been stored in the ellis web. The ellis web takes these energies in, and grows, evolves and becomes more powerful with each absorption of these particularly creative energies. The linking sigil can also be tagged in places in order for them to become more magickal, or haunted. Though it is said this can only be done in places that have at least a small affinity for magickal working, or to be haunted. The ellis sigil also has the power to awaken people to the magickal World, and to imprint upon them a reality that is more magickal, and weird. The symbol can be brought into your magickal practice to connect you with people that have used it in the past, and to put a little bit of your magick inside the ellis web. To do this the sigil can be added into any spell, sigil, or magickal practice that you will do to add a little bit more extra flavor into your working. All it has to do is be nearby in order to effect, and take in certain energies. Ellis has also been said to have over the course of time evolved into a thoughtform. This thoughtform is said to act like a guardian over the ellis web, and has been known not to take people’s shit. She is really more of a godform due to the fact of her higher power, and connection to multiple places, and people. Ellis is said to be a spider queen, and also the Red Queen from Alice in Wonderland. Ellis mostly appears to people as a red headed woman. She is said to represent aspects of child, lover, and crone. Ellis is powerful, and intelligent, and can be used, and worked with in a myriad of different ways.
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. EDIT: It’s one of many variations of the ‘Spare Method’ created by Austin Oswald Spare in the early 1900s 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)
Load a Sigil
Meditating on the sigil. Focus on the sigil intensely. Chanting over the sigil. Burning candles around, or on the sigil. Rubbing blood upon the sigil(a small drop of your blood is enough)). Anointing the sigil with essential oils. Anointing of the sigil with sexual fluids. Spitting on the sigil. Putting the sigil in the sunlight, or moonlight. Having the sigil on your person while going through your day, keeping it with you so that it can feed off your energy. Heating up the sigil(burning the stealth). after loading your sigil, don't let anyone else see it (you can only see it yourself)
( Emoji Spells: Mobile Sigil Magick) Sigil magick is popular because it’s fairly simple and still creative. When creating a sigil from scratch you get to decide everything about what it means and how it looks. The difference with emoji is that you have to look at the entire spell as a sigil, rather than each individual character. You also have to concede some of the design, but for those without any artistic skill this could be a big bonus. Modern usage of the sigil is as a pictorial representation of the will or intent of your spell.The sigil represents the whole of the spell and drawing the sigil out, and then carving it on candles or burning it charges and activates your sigil. Sigils can also function like a visual affirmation when drawn on mirrors, windows, post its, on your leg in sharpie, the tag on your underpants, whatever!
