Witchy Gym Tips

So, while I was sweating my butt off today on the treadmill, I set my mind on how I could use witchcraft to help improve my gym experience.

1) Enchant anything you think you could possibly forget. Mp3, water bottle, socks, headphones, ponytail holders, deodorant, etc, etc

2) Write sigils on the tongues of your shoes and on the tags of your clothes. Hell, even sew them into your socks if need be. Sigils for focus, energy, and motivation could help you immensely.

3) Make sachets for energy, focus, etc. Hang them in your gym locker, stuff them in your gym bag, make a mini one and shove it down your bra. It’ll help your bag and locker smell better and help increase whatever you need to increase.

4) Annoint yourself with oil before working out. (Remember basic oil safety, though!)

5) Someone constantly sitting on machines and texting and getting in your way? If you’re for it, give them a little curse. If not, maybe bless them with a bit more motivation.

6) Witches have the lowdown on all the good things herbs can do for you. Use that knowledge to make kickass pre and post workout smoothies. Bonus points if you’re a kitchen witch.

7) In fact, use your knowledge and power to make a yummy and blessed post work out meal to help heal your body and keep your energy flowing.

8) Take a healing bath after your work out. Heal yourself and mediate on what went good during your workout and what went not so well to plan your next session.

9) Creeps creeping on you? Shield yourself with protective armour and wards to make those annoying jerks back the frick off.

10) Use your knowledge and skill to make soothing salves to calm aches and pains.

bless you, OP

Some Urban Witchcraft Things I Do

wixrifa:

  • Using small shielding wards while moving in crowded spaces to stop people from entering my personal space, using it to get a space on the train while others try very hard to not be too close.
  • Being a regular customer at a coffee shop, where the barista knows your order, using that regularity and infusing it in the drink to ensure a smooth work day.
  • Tapping into the electrical energy of street lights, traffic lights, the tangles of power lines or the wire work embedded in the concrete. Tapping into it to feel the pulse of the entire city and how its as never-ending and expansive as nature and the cosmos
  • Borrowing energies from businesses, abandoned spaces and construction equipment for on-the-fly spells. (Once I used a buzz saw being used for a building renovation for a shield spell)
  • Pausing at florist displays to communicate with the small fresh spirits living in the cultivated potted gift plants, their energies foreign in the space.
  • Meditating on public transit, buses and trains, tapping into the circuits they run, the power that sustains them, and the thousands of people constantly on and off them.
  • Meeting eyes with the birds who brave the city streets, connecting a kin-ess of survival under such unnatural conditions. 
  • Marking sigils in the crook of my elbow in sharpie after designing them on the receipts that are tangled in my pockets.
  • Recognizing the glamor in mundane objects in stores, items being charged by desire and brand recognition by those who handle them, recognizing the residual affect it has on you after touching it.
  • Instinctively finding green spaces and specific plants you enjoy (for me its lavender, I can smell it from a block away) and having a mental map of where to pilfer powerful plants from city gardens. 
  • Feeling the spirit of the city, all the energies of thousands of people and history and industry only -just- covering the nature that existed there for millennia before it, feeling all this as you walk through the quiet dark streets in the early morning hours.
