Simple Charms/enchantments

Simple charms/enchantments

I’m simple when I charm things.

I literally write what energy/feeling/charm I want to imbue an object with on a piece of paper and then put said object on top of it. I then sprinkle cleansing salt water (maybe salt water, maybe my sage and lavender water, whatever is handy) on it along with whatever dried herbs I feel correspond with the charm. Then I wait and let it sit while it dries. Once it dries, I burn the paper and hold the object over the smoke until it’s done burning.

And poof, charmed/enchanted item.

If you can’t tell, I’m personally not a fan of spoken magic and rarely speak when I practice my craft.

Witch tip for the babes;

You do not need anything to cast a spell. No objects, words, or sigils are necessary. Sometimes they may even hinder the spell’s effectiveness. 

Remember, all that is necessary is presence, passion, and intent of the purest form.

Burning Incense on Smoldering Charcoal

natural-magics:

Fill a heat proof incense bowl or censer with at least 2" of sand, or natural ash (do not use salt, this is not safe). This will provided some much needed insulation for your burner. Charcoal can burn at up to 1500 degrees F. 

Form a cone shape with whatever medium you filled your burner and place the charcoal tablet at the peak. This will allow air to flow around the charcoal. This is more important when using sand, since ash is “breathable.“ 

Place a charcoal tablet on the ash/sand and light the edge. If it’s self-igniting charcoal (contains potassium nitrate) you will see tiny sparks as you light it and it will ignite quickly so never hold it in your hand! If you need to hold the charcoal over an open flame to ignite it, use tweezers or tongs to hold it. 

If your charcoal tablet has a concave indentation on one side place it in your burner with the hollow facing up. Use the "bowl” to hold your incense ingredients. 

Wait until the charcoal is glowing red hot and is covered with grayish-white ash. This could take about 5 minutes or so. If you like you can fan or blow on the charcoal to help get the whole tablet started. 

When ready sprinkle a pinch or two (about ¼ -½ teaspoon) of incense (e.g. resin, dried herbs, etc.) directly on top of the hot charcoal. The incense will begin to smolder. Be careful not to place too much incense on the charcoal or you may smother it and you’ll have to start over. 

When the smoke begins to thin out, add more incense. The charcoal will stay hot enough to burn incense for about 45 minutes to an hour.

Burning Tips: 

For a longer lasting burn that yields a subtler yet full bodied aroma you may also want to try “heating” incense over charcoal. This is a great incense burning method for wood chips (see below)

To maintain freshness (quick lighting and long burn time), charcoal tablets should be stored in a cool place in an airtight package. 

If you’ve purchased an incense mix that’s labeled “match light” that means it can be burned without charcoal. Follow the instructions on the label.
