Urban Witch Kit: What You Need On The Go

Urban witch kit: What you need on the go

This is what I carry on a regular basis for my witchcraft. Whenever I have a purse, I have all these with me.

Paper, pen, pencil and eraser, for on-the-go sigils

A pocketknife, preferably one with a scissors attachment

At least one cigarette lighter, whether you smoke or not (I don’t) to burn things

Chalk if you’re into drawing sigils on concrete and things

A phone. This is basic urban survival more than urban witchery, but you need some kind of cell phone.

Hand sanitizer for on-the-go purification in case of touching undesirable things

Gloves to keep energies off you when you’re handling them

Sunglasses for glamours and protections

A compact or other hand mirror for various things including divination

Your preferred divination method, if portable, is also good to include

A pack of cards

A key–house, locker, car, skeleton key that doesn’t open anything, doesn’t matter–for personal wards

All cheap, easily accessible things. All things that will come in handy for any spontaneous spellcasting.

How to Become a Witch

Witches could already be practicing for decades, and still, every day, they keep learning new things. That is how wide-ranging and wonderful this path is. But when taking your first step, there is no need to be overwhelmed. For now, start with these and forget everything else.

STEP 1: Look within.

Just because Aphrodite is trending on Twitter does not mean you should worship her. And just because crystals look good on Instagram does not mean you should start your own collection. Your practice should be tailored to your soul, not to the posts on your dashboard.

So go to Café Astrology and enter your birthdate. It will calculate your natal chart, which is basically the manual to your life. It lets you know your strengths and weaknesses so you can let the former make up for the latter. This website not only shows you the details, it also explains what they mean.

STEP 2: Look up.

Now that you have a better knowing of yourself, look beyond your existence. Who do you think made you?

Investigate your lineage as much as you can. Was your family always Christian? Jewish? Atheist? Or did your ancestors have a more traditional belief? Having an inherent connection to the old gods means inviting them into your life will be much easier. If you feel a strong affinity with the Greco-Roman gods particularly, use your natal chart to confirm your theory.

But if after much meditation, you find yourself believing that the source is not a divinity, but the cosmos as a whole, then feel free to embrace that energy.

STEP 3: Look closely.

Our eyes can only see what is right in front of us. Divination allows us to see beyond that, and look into the forgotten past… the hidden present… and the future in all its glory.

Tarot is one of the richest divination systems in existence. Here is how you can learn it in one day. But if you feel that it is not for you, there are many alternatives too. Do you enjoy meditating? You might fall in love with scrying.

STEP 4: Look out.

One of the best things about witchcraft and paganism is that they empower you to improve your life with magic.

Is there a danger you need to protect yourself from? A wound that you need to close? A wrong that you need to right? Whatever it is, there is a spell for it.

Start with the simplest ones. All you need are a few ingredients and ton of faith to make them work.

STEP 5: Look around.

Now that you know who you really are… where your faith truly lies… how to see beyond the obvious… and how to tweak reality to make life easier… you are officially a practitioner.

It is time to expand your knowledge even further. Read as many books as you like. Try as many methods of divination as possible. Perform as many spells as you can.

Advice for First-Generation Witches

I have a friend who decided she wants to be a witch. She asks me for a spell every time she overhears that some date is important to witches.

No ritual has ever worked for her. Not a single one.

Magic sees her coming from miles away then shuts the door to her face. Occult beings want nothing to do with her. Incantations do not wish to be pronounced by her mouth. Witchcraft tasted her and spat her out.

Because to treat the craft randomly is to treat it disrespectfully. Magic pulls away from those who see it as a hobby.

This path is not merely an interest. It is a way of life. Only those who understand this can truly harvest its benefits.

Becoming that person takes a while. But if you start here, you’ll get there fine.

Astrology’s Accuracy

An astrology chart alone can actually only tell you so much about a persons personality/life and let me explain why. Let’s say a person has their Sun in the 7th house. Some positive attributes to this placement could be having a happy marriage as the Sun can be associated with happiness and vitality whereas a challenging trait of this placement could be being attracted to people with an ego. If you’re a 7h Sun person but you were raised by parents who constantly fought and say your dad was egotistical and didn’t care about anyone but himself and they just didn’t have a good marriage then you may not take on the positive trait of a happy marriage and may marry a narcissist because as humans we are a byproduct of our surroundings, studies show. Especially the first 7 years of our life. They heavily influence the rest of it

This is why you may not always find accuracy in every astrology observation you see. You must look at your natal chart with understanding that there is positive energies, there is challenging energies, and there is sometimes neutral energies that can be dependent upon how you were raised, the type of person you decide to be/the action you decide to take in life, and whether or not you’re at a higher or lower vibration in your life at the moment

For example if you don’t relate to your North Node then you may not be on the right path in life and could possibly be at a lower vibration either due to wounds that are unhealed, mental health issues, or because you’re just at a time in your life where you’re not being a good person and treating a lot of people poorly and this is because you attract the energy that you are in the quantum field. Although depending on your numerology some of that energy may not even come to you in this life which is why sometimes we don’t see people receive their karma but they do eventually in the next life
