– mediate on the thought that there is no “falling behind,” only moving forward at a pace all your own
– breathe in the fresh air from your window, study a flower’s petals (even if you don’t feel up to going outside and it is simply a photograph of one); look at the sky – all things that may seem small, but are really so big
– allow yourself to live by a positive mantra each day: “i may not be as active as those that i see, but the magick inside me gives all that i need”
– think about how much magick is constantly all around us, even when you feel like you’re not currently practicing it
– remind yourself that even the smallest accomplishment is a feat, and that you should feel proud of each one

☆Witch Tip☆
Your craft is always personal to you! Research and asking around will only help to a certain extent before it starts hindering you! Write your own spells, charms and hexes! Make a messy, unconvential grimoire! Don’t be afraid to experiment.

Witch Tip
Don’t be afraid to make up your own spells. Don’t worry if it doesn’t SOUND like a spell. Don’t feel like you have to sound like Shakespeare for a spell to work. Don’t feel like you even have to say it out loud. If it feels right go for it.

Tips for Storm Witches
• Don’t snub checking the forecast! It helps to know what the day’s weather is predicted to be in case you’re doing things outdoors or casting spells that rely on certain weather conditions.
• Warm fronts are generally followed by cold fronts. If you’re waiting on some thunderstorms, just watch for a warm front to pass through.
• Back to forecasts, the chance of rain is read in a different way than it is written. If the forecast says a 70% chance of rain, it actually means that in 7 of 10 days with those conditions, it rained.
• Instead of waiting for the weather conditions to align for a spell, use sigils to stimulate the conditions.
• A storm’s energy can be stored in crystals for later use. Just in case the perfect storm happens when you didn’t plan on casting that spell.
• The clouds can predict upcoming weather. High cirrus clouds usually indicate rain within 48 hours.
• Another way to stimulate a storm is through ambient sound. There are plenty of recordings out there to listen to!
• Sit and watch a rainstorm or a thunderstorm. Its energizing and relaxing!

✨🕯WITCH TIP 🕯✨
Ah candles, they’re a wonderful tool for magick but they’re messy as hell. And if you’re anything like me you’re going to find melted candle wax on every freaking surface in the house. But you don’t need to leave those little bits and pieces of wax to waste. Scrape it off of your altar/old spell jars and stash the wax in some kind of container. You can then use those multicolored pieces to custom decorate your tea light candles!
Kat’s Bookbinding Tutorial – POSTED
I’ve finished a bookbinding tutorial! It got a bit too lengthy for a single post, so I’ve posted it here [google drive], where you can download it as a PDF and make comments/ask questions if something’s unclear. The process is not terribly complicated, but I tried to add lots of pictures so it took up lots of space. Hope this helps out anyone that wanted to try making their own!
As always, please feel free to message me with any questions you have, I’m more than happy to answer 🙂
The Boring but Important Basics of Witchcraft
Let me start by saying CLEANSING CLEANSING CLEANSING. It’s the most basic, first thing you learn, exciting and boring part of witchcraft.
Negative energy is a scientific fact based on positive and negative charged ions that make up everything.
Clearing out negative energy and replacing it with positive energy is not something you should only do during spring cleaning.
Cleanse after a very stressful or negative experience like a fight or finals. Cleanse if you’re feeling lethargic or upset. Cleansing may not fix everything but it definitely doesn’t hurt.The best way I’ve found to cleanse it a salt water, sage, pine mix. It’s in a spray bottle and I just spray it around the room. It works best if you’ve cleaned up any clutter that may be lying about. It also helps to declutter your mind. For me that can be hard between my anxiety and depression so it really helps to sit down and work things out in my head.
Another basic is protection and casting circles. When you perform spells or rituals you open yourself up to outside interference. It’s like how your laptop limited to what’s on it by itself. When it connects to the internet it becomes part of all these other devices that are connected and its no longer limited. Without a firewall your computer can get a virus. So casting a circle is like activating a firewall.
You can create a mental circle but it can be hard to keep up if you’re performing an energy costing spell or ritual. Salt is your best friend!
Creating circles and walls from outside energy is essential for most empaths to function some days. It all depends on who you come in contact with. Even if you don’t spend much time with a person you can still pick up on their emotional energy. If you do get interference cleansing can help clean out other people’s emotions.
A lot of witchcraft is visualizing and focusing your will and releasing energy from things like crystals or herbs. Meditation and mental exercises will help you in whatever spells or rituals you want to do.
My last basic isn’t witchcraft but it’s essential for doing spells or rituals. Take care of yourself. If you are too tired and don’t have the energy, for whatever reason, to focus or use energy in a spell, it’s not going to work. So drink water, exercise, sleep, relax. Do what you can to take care of you. Self care isn’t always easy but it’s important in everything you do. I’m a big advocate of those occasional and unavoidable mental health days. Mental sickness will cause your body to become sick.
