Early To Bed, Early To Rise Herb Bundle Spell

hello witchy lovelies!! this is the first spell I have ever really crafted by myself and it worked super well! usually I have such a hard time waking up in the mornings but as soon as i’d put this by my bedside i woke up about 6:30am, naturally. here’s how I made it!!

ingredients:

• lavender (for sleep) and thyme (for courage/motivation) sprigs of about the same length

• string or thread

• candle or match (optional)

• bottle (optional)

method:

• remember to meditate on your intention as you do this! 💞

• pop all of the herbs together in a bundle

• wrap the thread around them from top to bottom and tie off so everything stays together

• you can choose to bless/cleanse the herbs with smoke now!! the way I like to do this is putting out a match or candle in a bottle, waiting for the smoke to fill it, and then putting the herbs inside, holding the bottle upside down :)

• now whack that bad boy by your bed

• sweet dreams!! 💞

and that’s it! enjoy the spell and let me know what you think :)

lots of love from R xxx

Home protection salt bowls

This is a modified version of the salt bowls I created for my home this morning. I kept some stuff to myself for privacy reasons. Correspondences are random/ important to me but not necessarily agreed upon by everyone. Feel free to use ingredients that make sense for you based on their purpose. 

Uses: place in a discreet location (so it won’t be disturbed) in various rooms throughout your home to cleanse, banish negativity, and provide protection. This particular recipe focused on cleansing/ banishing negativity and bringing an overall sense of peace and love to the home

Materials: *feel free to substitute or add herbs based on your needs. 

-small bowls, one for each room

-salt: protection and purification

-Himalayan salt: protection, peace

-Ground egg shells: grounding, protection

-Juniper Berries: warding off evil

-Lavender: calm, peace

-Incense Ash: protection

-Bay Leaves: prosperity

-Sage essential oil: protection, banishing negativity 

-sharpie to write on bay leaves

-mortar and pestle (optional) 

Method

1. Raise your energy, set your space, and call upon any outside forces as you see fit. 

2. Write hopes, wishes, desires, sigils, runes, whatever you see fit to set intentions on your bay leaves. Add one bay leaf per bowl.

3. Mix all other ingredients minus the essential oils into a mortar and pestle. Focus on intention and call upon anyone again as you’re grinding. Pour into small bowls. (you can mix in a larger bowl and distribute to smaller bowls without grinding if a mortar and pestle is not available)

4. Add one drop of essential oil per small bowl 

5. Hold hand over each bowl in turn, transfer your energy, invoke the Gods, elements, and components of the spell to work together to bring peace, calm, and safety to each room (invoke on whatever energies you originally called upon or whatever you see fit) 

Now your bowls are ready to be distributed around your home! I did one per major room (bedroom, office, kitchen, living room) You can do as many or as little as you choose! Be sure to properly dispose of ingredients, cleanse the bowls, and start over any time you feel they are becoming less effective, or if negativity has unexpectedly built up in your space. 

push yourself to get up before the rest of the world - start with 7am, then 6am, then 5:30am. go to the nearest hill with a big coat and a scarf and watch the sun rise.

push yourself to fall asleep earlier - start with 11pm, then 10pm, then 9pm. wake up in the morning feeling re-energized and comfortable.

get into the habit of cooking yourself a beautiful breakfast. fry tomatoes and mushrooms in real butter and garlic, fry an egg, slice up a fresh avocado and squirt way too much lemon on it. sit and eat it and do nothing else.

stretch. start by reaching for the sky as hard as you can, then trying to touch your toes. roll your head. stretch your fingers. stretch everything.

buy a 1L water bottle. start with pushing yourself to drink the whole thing in a day, then try drinking it twice.

buy a beautiful diary and a beautiful black pen. write down everything you do, including dinner dates, appointments, assignments, coffees, what you need to do that day. no detail is too small.

strip your bed of your sheets and empty your underwear draw into the washing machine. put a massive scoop of scented fabric softener in there and wash. make your bed in full.

organise your room. fold all your clothes (and bag what you don’t want), clean your mirror, your laptop, vacuum the floor. light a beautiful candle.

have a luxurious shower with your favourite music playing. wash your hair, scrub your body, brush your teeth. lather your whole body in moisturiser, get familiar with the part between your toes, your inner thighs, the back of your neck.

push yourself to go for a walk. take your headphones, go to the beach and walk. smile at strangers walking the other way and be surprised how many smile back. bring your dog and observe the dog’s behaviour. realise you can learn from your dog.

message old friends with personal jokes. reminisce. suggest a catch up soon, even if you don’t follow through. push yourself to follow through.

think long and hard about what interests you. crime? sex? boarding school? long-forgotten romance etiquette? find a book about it and read it. there is a book about literally everything.

become the person you would ideally fall in love with. let cars merge into your lane when driving. pay double for parking tickets and leave a second one in the machine. stick your tongue out at babies. compliment people on their cute clothes. challenge yourself to not ridicule anyone for a whole day. then two. then a week. walk with a straight posture. look people in the eye. ask people about their story. talk to acquaintances so they become friends.

lie in the sunshine. daydream about the life you would lead if failure wasn’t a thing. open your eyes. take small steps to make it happen for you.

Hex To Make People Reflect On Their Actions

Hello pumpkins!

I’m back! Look at this photo – I found my first ever Book of Shadows from when I was only fourteen! Very sweet. Anyway, this week I have a spell for you. Before I begin, a disclaimer: this spell should only be used against someone who has caused you significant damage, hurt or trauma. If your issue is not life-altering in seriousness, this spell is NOT for you. This is the most powerful spell I have ever written in my time in the craft (trust me, I’ve used it), so please be wary. Remember, ‘What ye send forth comes back to thee, so ever mind the rule of three’.

Let’s begin. This spell forces someone to reflect on their actions, and ensures that until you banish the spell, they will not be able to stop thinking about what they’ve done.

In order to complete this spell, you’ll need: 

either two mirrors or, ideally, a compact or travel mirror which you can close. 

a red or black candle

a piece of paper

a pen or pencil.

To complete the spell, ground and centre, cast a circle (posts about these two things coming soon!), then sit within it and visualise your intended recipient thinking over their actions. Light the candle and then write down the person’s name in clear block capitals on the paper. Underneath, write what it is you want them to reflect on. Pass the paper over the flame, high enough to avoid burning it, and again, visualise what you want your results to look like and what you want the person to think over. Place the paper between the mirrors, and if you’re using a compact, close it. Proceed to put the spell completely out of sight. Snuff the candle and banish the circle.

When you’re done and think the spell has worked enough, rip up or destroy the paper by any means possible and then throw the remains where you will never come across them again.
