For all of my witches out there that are artists or just love art of any kind, here are some things to consider adding to your craft.

• Use vine or compressed charcoal dust to make black salt
• Use sketchbooks as unique grimoires, book of shadows, book of cosmos, dream journals, etc that allow you to use markers, paints, etc to your heart’s desire
• Red liquid ink can substitute for blood
• Black liquid ink is good for curses especially for blinding, confusion and chaos
• Blue liquid ink can represent water or the ocean 
• Yellow liquid ink for divination
• Green liquid ink for protection and healing spells
• Enchant your calligraphy pens for sigil work to strengthen the sigils you make or spells you write with them
• Use doodles of people or how you see a person for taglocks in curses and bindings
• Melt crayons for wax seals on jars or other spells by placing them in intense sun or heating them in a wax melter (use caution that you don’t heat them too high)
• Melt crayons and mix with coconut oil and olive oil for anointing oil corresponding with the colors you use (also can be used as lipstick if desired)*
• Use scrapbooking paper in your grimoire to give it unique and artsy pages
• Use your paints to make painted spells. Make a sigil and paint it onto your page or canvas, and based on the sigil’s intent once dried paint over it an image that corresponds with that intent to activate. Hang up in your room or home. Cleanse and charge regularly
• Glitter my witches, great for color magic and jar spells (note glitter is not good to be tossed into the environment so please don’t)
• Write down a person or ‘force’ in your life you wish to remove and use erasers to erase it away as a simple severing spell
• Use your dirty paint water for curses or inspiration spells

• Buy chalkboard paint to turn a wall or other object into a chalkboard for sigil use, spell writing, organization, etc
• Use those plastic reusable paint containers for small portable spell jars
• Sharpies and black markers are good for curses in general
• Use your color wheels for divination via colormancy
• Use modeling clay or pottery clay to make your own offering bowls, statuettes and poppets for a variety of uses
• For a quick and easy black mirror simply paint the back glass of a picture frame with black acrylic paint. It may take several layers
• Reuse bottles and cans by painting them up to make them witchy containers for your tools, art supplies and other storage purposes
• Make drawings, write poetry, write stories, make pottery, make a painting, etc to make as offerings to deities, fae, spirits, etc. Just be sure not to sign it if it is for fae (your name can give them power of you)
