Spell Loopholes

Wording a spell correctly is extremely important! We’ve all heard the stories of someone who cast a spell and technically had it come true, but in a way that wasn’t what they actually wanted at all! Here’s a list of common “loopholes” spells will take to get the job done, and how to make sure you get what you want!

🕯Taking its time- “I want money,” you tell the Universe, hoping to get some help with rent. Well, rent comes and there’s no extra cash in sight! Then, two weeks later, a surprise wad of cash all but lands in your lap. The spell came true, but not in time for when it mattered. This is easily fixed by adding “…by the end of the month,” or specifying what the money is for, which in this case was this month’s rent.

🕯No help needed- “I want money,” you say again. Magic will often take the path of least resistance, so if you’ve already got a paycheck on the way, the spell might not do much besides make sure it doesn’t get lost. There. Money. It can be good to specify that you want your spell to work in addition to everything you’re already doing!

🕯 Bare minimum- This time from your money spell, it arrives on time from an unexpected source! But it’s a quarter you found on the ground. Maybe three quarters. Not much help! If your intent would require the money to be close to a certain amount or any other specific like that, let it be known! The universe isn’t there to make assumptions.

🕯 For the worst- Let’s say you have two friends that have been flirting, so you cast a nice little spell to let any mutual interest between them blossom into a relationship and save them some trouble. It happens, but it turns out they do NOT work well with each other. They are interested in each other, but argue constantly and bring out the worst in each other. The relationship is hurting them both. You had the absolute best of intentions, but there was no way of knowing that would happen! This is why a lot of witches include the phrase, “for the highest good” in their spells, as a failsafe for any unexpected pitfalls like this that may be lurking. The universe will see them but doesn’t know to care unless you specify.

🕯Another layer- Once I made a dream bear to bring me more dreams. Well, I had lots more dreams, but couldn’t remember any of them! I didn’t think that was something I needed to specify. Make sure you hit every point you need to be satisfied with a result.

As a general rule, if my spell includes a prayer or petition of any sort, I take a few minutes and comb through it for stuff like this beforehand. What am I specifying? What am I leaving up to interpretation? Could any of that manifest in a way I would be unhappy with? Take a little time before you start casting to smooth out all those wrinkles! Best of wishes!

Bath Magic

I thought I’d make a little reference post for what to add to your bath for whatever troubles you.

I find it not only relaxing but very helpful to add herbs to my bath, along with stones. of course, take out any stones and large pieces of plant matter before draining the tub. You may also use a strainer that can speed up the cleaning.

I also would like to touch on this, while I do offer suggestions for emotional pain, and other problems, I only mean these to be used along with proper medical treatment. Please don’t use any of this as a substitute for medicine, therapy, or other medical treatment. Magic is never a substitute. Everything below is meant to be used in ADDITION to other means of help. I just really want to stress this.

Sleep Issues

Can’t get relaxed? Throw some lavender and/or chamomile in there

Having nightmares? Toss in some salt and a few sprigs of rosemary

Got too much energy to sleep? Put some onyx or jet in the bath. It will help ground you.

Emotional Issues:

Feeling down? Pluck the petals from a sunflower and toss them in. You can also add a cup of orange juice!

Lacking confidence?  Add in some rosemary, thyme and some basil.

Needing some comfort? Rose Quartz, sage and vanilla can do some good.

Anxiety? Add some onyx and some lavender.

Got alot of negativity in your life? Take a nice milk bath.

Dealing with loss of loved one? This one is best to do at night, but you could add rose quartz, wheat and mistletoe.

Had your heart broken? Jade, cinnamon and violets.

Other Issues:

Having trouble communicating with someone? Daisies, dandelion, lavender and allspice can be of aid

Trying to overcome a creative block? Peppermint, jasmine and cinnamon might get the wheels turning.

Having family trouble? Lapis Lazuli and rose petals in the bath may help develop solutions.

Trying to get pregnant? Pine needles, sage, rose petals and lemon balm will not only smell incredible, but may just help.

 Alright guys!!! I really hope you like and hopefully this helps someone out :) Spent a while on it so if you like it, or want a second part please reblog or like :)

Witchcraft: Charging

ー

Charging is an important aspect of the craft as it activates the energy of your tools, therefore increasing the likelihood of your goal succeeding. For example, if you wanted to utilize the peaceful qualities of lavender, charging will activate this specific quality in the herb to aid in your intention.

Without charging, the energy in the tool will still help you, but remain latent (passive) instead of active. Think of this like asking a friend for help. If you don't explain your intention to them, they are going to have a more difficult time helping you.

If you have two ingredients with correspondences that clash (sleep and energy boosting, for instance), you can activate specific qualities and not others. However, some recommend trying to use a substitute to prevent this altogether.

There are several methods you can use to charge objects. These infographs only suggest a few!

Note: Charging is a synonym for enchanting, consecrating, and empowering.

Womb-healing potion for painful periods

I’ve always had a bad relationship with my uterus and my period cramps are a fine depiction of it. As I try to love my womb, understand it and heal it, I still experience horrible periods, and I know a lot of us do. So I have perfected my own potion to not simply cast a spell but try and perpetually heal my uterus and our connection, one period at a time.

It should heal symptoms such as:

Cramps

Headaches

Foul mood (sadness, melancholy, anger, despair)

Lack of energy

Ingredients:

Cinnamon: happiness and healing.

Thyme: healing herb, health, courage, strength; banishes melancholy, negative vibrations, feelings of despair and hopelesness.

Ginger: natural anti-inflammatory, gets rid of cramps by relieving pressure

Lavender (in any form you may find): relaxation, peaceful dreams, purification, love; banishes, stress and headaches.

Cardamom: femenine energy, Venus, water signs (emotions), relaxes body, clears the mind and relieves indigestion.

Add to:

Boiling milk for nightime (sweet, calming and sleep-inducing. I add some vanilla extract for extra sweetness)

Boiling black tea for daytime (femenine energy, vitalizing, improves mood and activity, banishes negativity)

In order to prepare it with intent, feel your pain and visualize it fading away as you stirr clockwise, then communicate with the potion (you don’t need to be vocal) asking for healing, as you stirr counter-clockwise. I personally find myself begging very openly to ease my pain and grant my womb some peace.

Let it sit and then strain.

I recommend preparing it the moment before you drink it, instead of stocking it away for later, but it depends on how you feel your own intent. I also added dry white roses to the one in the pictures.
