Things I do for work as a witch in the service/restaurant industry ✨💵

Hi, so I am a hostess/waitress but I am also a pagan witch so here are some things I do for work. Both before, during, and after

Before work

I typically will light the abundance candle that is in my money bowl and sit with it as I get ready, this helps me focus on manifesting abundance through my routine

I love glamour magic, and have charged some of my makeup that I wear for work to help manifest money and abundance in my life. I did this specifically with my highlighter, but you can do this with any part of your routine whether that be makeup, or skin or hair products

Some of my jewelry is charmed for abundance, the silver hoops I wear in my first lobes at work are charmed for abundance and money.

I carry citrine and Smokey quartz in my wallet to draw money in but also keep it safe and encourage smart spending

I carry a pouch in my bra(you can carry it in your pocket as well, I just wear tight jeans at work and it’s more comfortable for me to carry it there) in this I have bay leaf, marjoram, Rosemary, pyrite, amazonite, and moss agate. These all have their specific uses. But the general over arching property is abundance.

I use my abundance oil and draw sigils on my throat and on the inside of my arms. I also use my protection oil on my chest

My perfume is charmed as well and I spray that before work

I sometimes will do a tarot reading to get a feel for the energy of my upcoming shift

After work

First thing I do when I get home from work is cleanse myself, both physically and energetically. I typically with take a shower, I use products that contain herbs like rosemary and lavender to benefit both from their medicinal uses and their magical properties

While I shower I typically with think about how the night went, practicing mindfulness is a important part of manifesting

After I’m out of the shower I apply my skincare, which I find is a useful tool in building up a good foundation for the night. It makes me feel completely reset

I will then recount my tips from the night and right down my hours. I do this while sitting at my altar and burning my abundance and protection candles.

Then I put any money I want to save into my money bowl. This allows me to sort of recharge its energy at the end of each night

If you have any questions or have a topic you want me to cover feel free to leave a comment or send me a dm 🖤✨

You can make your witchcraft and/or your religion(s) your whole life, or not. Nowhere are there rules for how much to practice, how much to worship. It comes down to as much or as little as you want, because it's your life after all.

Money Bowl

How to Create a Money Bowl

You will need:

Bowl

Rice - for abundance

Money Oil

Coins, cash, etc. (This can even be paper with dollar signs/money signs written in green or gold.)

Cinnamon sticks - for money

A green candle - for money, prosperity, abundance, wealth

Bay leaves

Basil (or other money related herbs and spices)

Pyrite - to attract money and prosperity

Clear Quartz - to amplify the spellwork

-----

Fill your bowl with rice up to a height you're comfortable with.

On a separate plate or napkin, layout the basil. (You can add any other spices or herbs that will help with your money bowl.) Dress the candle with your money oil. (This can be purchased pre-made from your local magick shop or you can make your own. If you don't have any, you can use whatever oil you have on hand.) Roll the candle in the herbs and make sure it's coated well.

Place the candle at the center of the bowl and start placing your stuff inside! I used rolled up cash (whatever amount you'd like), cinnamon sticks, basil with my petitions written on them, etc. Feel free to add more money-drawing items or remove what you feel isn't serving you.

Decorate your box with crystals and other items. I used a pyrite elephant and pyrite cluster since pyrite is associated with money and wealth, but I also used a clear quartz to amplify the shellwork and boost the money-drawing power.

I placed my bowl on top of my clear box with tips from the place I bartend at, but you can put your bowl wherever makes sense to you. The key is to "work" the bowl and continue to add/remove items, light the candle, add drops of oil, replace an old candle with a new one, etc. Since I have my bowl sitting on top of my money box, inserting money into the box is like I'm "feeding" the box/bowl with that energy.

I think the most important part to remember is that this bowl is personal and entirely up to you. Everyone's bowl will look different and people will "work" their bowls differently, which I think is really cool. There is no right or wrong way to make a money bowl, but it is a lot of trial and error. I'd love to hear what other people would use in their money bowl, so feel free to comment below to let me know!

Blessed Yule!

Yule, Yuletide or the winter solstice, happens usually around the 21st to the 25th (it depends for each year!) The winter solstice is a celebration of the longest night and shortest day of the year: after that, days will get longer again! It's a great time to celebrate home, family, friends, and reflect on ourselves. It also celebrates the eternal cycle of light and dark, life and death.

Crystals that are good to have for Yule are Ametrine, Orange Calcite, Ruby, Turquoise, Garnet, Bloodstone, Snowflake Obsidian and Onyx

For food, you can think of fruit (like oranges!), dried fruit, nuts, or even drink cider!

Colors that go well for Yule are, of course, red, green, white, silver and gold!

What to do for Yule

Decorate a Christmas/Yule tree. It's also a great activity if you are still in the broom closet

Bake a Yule log (the cake!), gingerbread cookies, plum pudding, or other recipes you usually make for the holidays. For example, fruit pies are always a big thing in my house during Christmas, so I also bake some for Yule!

Since Yule is a great time for reflection, make sure you take some time for that. Sit down and think about what happened in your life this year, meditate on it, try to see what was good and what was bad, and how to fix/change the latter. Do shadow work. Be grateful, make bullet points of your year's highlights. Using divination tools, like making a tarot spread about yourself/your situation, is also a great way to do that. Sometimes, it's even easier because the tool might bring up points you would've never thought of.

Have fun with family and friends! Yule is about the love and warmth around you, that also goes for the people you love.

Take a cleansing bath or shower! It's time to let go of things that you don't need anymore: and cleansing yourself helps to move on, to get rid of energies that no longer serve you. It will make some space for new things to come!

Go take a walk outside! Go appreciate the cold and how calm winter is.

Watch the sunrise and sunset. Afterall, it is the shortest day of the year, and it's nice to really see it.

With all that being said, I wish a blessed Yule to all! Take care of yourselves and have fun :)

Let's clarify some common misconceptions and provide insights into what is true or false for beginners in witchcraft:

1. Witchcraft is a religion: False. Witchcraft is not inherently a religion. It is a practice, a craft, or a set of skills used by individuals. Many practitioners of witchcraft may follow different spiritual or religious paths, including Wicca, Paganism, or even atheism.

2. Witchcraft requires you to worship a specific deity: False. While some forms of witchcraft, such as Wicca, involve the worship of deities, many witches do not adhere to any specific religious beliefs. Witchcraft can be entirely secular, and practitioners can choose to work with or without deities.

3. You need an initiation or a coven to become a witch: False. There is no formal initiation or requirement to become a witch. Some practitioners may choose to join covens for guidance and community, but many practice as solitary witches, learning and crafting on their own.

4. Spells are like magic in books and movies: False. Real witchcraft does not resemble the magic portrayed in fiction. Spells are not instantaneous, and they do not involve flashy special effects. Witchcraft is a practice grounded in how the spells impact you and your mental being as a person.

5. All witches perform rituals and ceremonies: False. Not all witches engage in elaborate rituals or ceremonies. Witchcraft is flexible, and some practitioners may prefer simple acts of intention or everyday magical practices.

6. Witchcraft is dangerous and can cause harm: False. Witchcraft is not inherently harmful. It depends on the intention and ethics of the practitioner. Many witches adhere to the "harm none" principle and use their craft for healing, personal growth, and positive change.

7. You need expensive tools and materials to practice witchcraft: False. Witchcraft can be as simple or as elaborate as you choose. You don't need expensive tools; many everyday items can be used in your practice. It's more about your intention and focus than the cost of your materials.

8. Witchcraft is all about casting spells: False. While spellcasting can be a part of witchcraft, it's not the only aspect.

9. A witch's power is inherited or genetic: False. Witchcraft is a learned practice, and anyone can become a witch through study, practice, and dedication. It's not linked to one's family or genetics.

10. All witches have psychic abilities: False. Psychic abilities, such as clairvoyance or mediumship, are not inherent to all witches. Some may develop new skills, while others may focus solely on other aspects of witchcraft.

It's important for beginners to approach witchcraft with an open mind, to study, practice, and develop their craft in a way that resonates with their beliefs and values. Witchcraft is highly personal, and each practitioner can shape it into a unique and meaningful practice.
