Some Urban Witchcraft Things I Do

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. 

💧🔮 Rain Divination 🔮💧

simple divination for when you’re watching rain drip down the window

yes/no divination

🔮 choose two raindrops near the top of the windows.

💧 one is “yes”, the other is “no”

🔮 meditate on your question

💧 whichever merges with another raindrop or reaches the bottom first is your answer

interpretive divination

🔮 wait for a droplet that catches your attention. it will represent whoever you are inquiring about. 

💧 keep watch for the shapes merged droplets take, it will symbolize an event the occurs because of your interaction with the person

🔮 interpret shapes based on your own associations, or those similar to tea readings

💧 merged droplets’ paths indicate meeting someone new who will have influence on your life

🔮 stray droplets that start in the middle indicate an event within reach but not currently on your path

💧 when the droplets reach the bottom of the windows, that is the unknown, there there have yet to be decisions that affect that far into the future. 

Crystals for transitional phases in life, by one’s astrological sign:

ARIES:  Rhodonite prepares you and balances your actions so you don’t shoot past your goal. Important for fiery Aries who can shoot past their goals.

TAURUS:  Stilbite strengthens your determination, but allows for valuable flexibility. Helps stubborn Taurus give in when they need to.

GEMINI:  Snowflake Obsidian lets you be versatile without being distracted by obsessions. You won’t be sidetracked.

CANCER:  Yellow Jasper helps you retain your composure and enables you to let go. You won’t hang on to all of those dark emotions or explode.

LEO:  Red Jasper lets you be creative and genuine without too much drama getting in the way. Settles Leo’s dramatic side calm and enables them to flourish.

VIRGO:  White Jade lets you appreciate things as they are and eliminate the compulsion to fix everything. There is beauty in imperfections, Virgo, accept them.

LIBRA:  Brown Striped Jasper helps you maintain control and not sacrifice yourself for peace. You do not have to give in to find harmony.

SCORPIO:  Black Agate lets you manage your emotions to find the good, rather than focusing on darker thoughts. All of those dangerous thoughts that linger under the surface will be dispelled.

SAGITTARIUS:  Bronzite will help you extract what is beneficial and leave the rest behind on your new explorations. Don’t get caught up in the negativity around you.

CAPRICORN:  Yellow Calcite lets you see how eliminating what is not working is in your best interest. This will help you reach success quickly, Capricorn.

AQUARIUS:  Ruby intensifies your new thought patterns, but keeps them from overpowering others. This helps Aquarius communicate effectively.

PISCES:  Golden Tiger Eye lets you consider the effects of your actions without getting lost in your thoughts. Stay rooted and grounded while still thoughtful and deep.
