The "Stuck Heart": A Protective Fiber Talisman/Charm For Your Home

Note To Reader: This working was inspired by Gemma Gary's Charm from her book "The Black Toad". And this inspiration was for a recent project that I did for a Magickal Fiber Class. Plus, working with fiber is a more humane and sanitary option than actually having decaying organs within your home. However, if that's your jam, then go for it!

The protection of our homes and loved ones is of utmost importance to all of us. We go to great lengths to secure our homes, install security systems, and even perform rituals to ward off any negative or malevolent energies. However, have you heard of the powerful charm of the stuck heart?

The stuck heart is another charm that has been used for centuries to protect homes and its inhabitants from the influence of malevolent spirits and ill-wishers. It is believed that the hearts of horses or other large animals, stuck with thorns and pins, possess a strong energy that can keep our homes safe from any harm.

Traditionally, the stuck heart is placed within the chimney or hung within the roof space of a home. This is done in secret, without the knowledge of the occupants, for the charm to retain its protective powers. It is believed that if the stuck heart is disturbed or removed, its effectiveness diminishes.

The symbolism behind the stuck heart charm is quite intriguing. The thorns and pins represent the obstacles and negative and malevolent energies that may come our way. By trapping them within the heart, we are effectively shielding our homes and loved ones from their harmful influence, while returning the sent energy back upon the sender.

The charm is not limited to just homes, but can also be used to protect businesses and other properties. In fact, a stuck heart hanging in a shop or office can safeguard it from envious competitors or any negative energies that may affect its success.

While the exact origins of the stuck heart charm are unknown, it is a testament to the belief in the power of positive energy and the need to protect our homes and loved ones from any harm. So the next time you feel the need for some extra protection, consider using the traditional and potent charm of the stuck heart.

Fiber "Stuck Heart" Charm

The possibilities for this charm are endless, limited only by your imagination, creativity, and practice. There isn't much in the way of instructions, but if you choose to hand stitch, I highly recommend using "Print-Stitch-Dissolve" paper for a smoother stitching process.

For my charm. I opted to use felt for its thickness and ease of handling. To secure the pins I stuffed the heart with poly-fill (but you can use whatever you have). Additionally, I incorporated the symbol of a spider's web designed in a clockwise direction to not only trap any harm but also enhance the power of the incantation. Don't hesitate to add your own symbols of strength and significance to make this charm truly yours.

Lastly, feel free to enchant this charm in any way you see fit, but I enchanted my charm over Frankincense and Myrrh smoke while saying this incantation I wrote:

A charm of power, a heart that's stuck A shield against the spirits of ill luck A talisman of protection, strong and bold Against the malevolent, it will hold For what is normal to a spider's web Is chaos to a fly, caught in its dread And so it is with this charm of mine All harm and danger, it will confine

Let those who wish to cause me pain Be trapped in this web, their efforts in vain For as they try to break through its hold Their own harm shall be the price they'll behold With every thread, I spin with care A layer of protection, I will declare And as the malevolent try to creep They'll only find themselves in a tangled heap Let them be caught in this web of mine And let their ill-wishing fall upon themselves in time

For I am guarded by this powerful charm And their attempts to harm me will only disarm So let the spiders spin their webs of fate For I have my own, and it's not too late To protect myself from those who wish me harm With this talisman, I am safe from their charm.

Genuine Red Flags in Spiritual Books, Grimoires, Occult Teachers or Mentors

Very often I see folks talking about things they consider to be red flags for beginners when entering witchy or occult spaces. Here are a few of the things that I’ve noticed over the years that will immediately make me put down a book or step away from a practitioner.

1. Claiming they know every thing about every sect of spirituality / occultism or witchcraft

Simply put, there is no one person who knows the deep inner workings of every craft, of every philosophy, of every practice. The guru that claims to know everything from Reiki to Jewish Mysticism to Native American Spirituality to Voodoo to Acupuncture to Chakra Healing, Tarot, Herb Wizardy, Alchemy, etc etc etc. No. They are lying. Even the most dedicated and wise practitioners devote years into understanding a philosophy or spiritual practice. And especially in regards to closed practices, it is impossible for one person to have read and done it all. Either they are straight up lying or presenting brief skimming over texts or conversation as “years of experience and practice”. No.

2. Constantly trying to convince the reader that they are a God, deity or some inhuman creature like a cosmic elf, mermaid, or angel

Now I don’t mean to confuse this with the idea that some Luciferian or Satanic spaces may adopt that all humans are gods in their own right, or you are the god of your own existence. I’m talking specifically about books that try to convince you that you’re actually a lost race of alien who has been trapped in a human body, or has been mistaken into believing they are human. I’m not going to get into my opinions on star seeds or deity ancestry, what I will say is that very often, and I mean uncomfortably often, these ideas are intrinsically tied to supremacist or xenophobic rhetoric You do not have to be an angel to be special and cosmically significant. You don’t have to be an elf to explore herbal magic, people who push these ideas are very frequently praying on those with delusions of grandeur or other dissociative mental disorders and that’s not cool.

3. Using pseudoscience to push miracle remedies. This includes denying things that are provable to push a narrative, like the fact medication can help the mentally ill.

My dears, please fact check what you read. Please see what educated people have to say about these authors before you take everything they say at face value. As many problems and rightful distrust as there is in the medical industry, usually, if a concoction is commonly dismissed by 99% of medical professionals, it’s usually not because they’re trying to cover up the holy grail, it’s because they know it’s… probably not that good for you or simply doesn’t do what it claims.

4. Trying to convince the reader that with enough practice, willpower, and a donation of $9.99 per month, you too can obtain some incredible power that will allow you to airbend, waterbend, firebend, and basically defy all the laws of physics in general!

The point of most occultism, spirituality and witchcraft is not to defy the laws of physics or to obtain some godly power. There most certainly exists the belief in many sects of spirituality that one can influence their reality through training, but I promise you, anybody that is promoting that they can walk on water is trying to make a fool out of you

5. Inability to disagree, contest, or dissent from the opinions of the mentor, teacher, high priest(ess) or leader

This is how cults form, guys. Confirmation bias is a hell of a drug. If the presentation of different ideas or even questions are met with harsh backlash and censorship, you need to get the fuck out of there.

6. Them automatically making the assumption within a very short time of meeting you, usually presented as psychic intuition, that you are suffering and have a “deep sadness” or energy blockage in your soul that only they can fix.

I understand that damaged people often seek mediums and whatnot for help, and sometimes it genuinely brings them ease, that’s fine and good. But so often I have been approached by people online that claim that “the angels have a really important message for me that they can only give after they’ve received an epayment of just a few dollars”. These are obviously scams, but often people who have been trusted for a reading or service in the past will fabricate these stories to trap a costumer in a loop of service. Some of these claims may be genuine but I guarantee you most are not.

7. Sprinkles of Fascism

No you are not superior to other people because you’re spiritually “enlightened”. No you should not separate groups of people or decide who should and shouldn’t procreate. No mainstream society is not being being deceived by the devil, and the devil is not more prevalent in any one group of people, sex, sexuality, gender, or race. You are not the only enlightened one in a world full of lost people. Mentally ill folks are not demons and trans people aren’t energetically unaligned. You will not inherit the Earth while everyone else dies. Uuuuhhhhhhhhhhhhhh shut the fuck up.

8. The claim that ancient societies of people were aliens. Presenting hoaxes and proven scams as evidence of a conspiracy.

This includes things like using documented hoaxes as evidence that aliens built the pyramids. I’m going to be so for real with you guys rn. This is just racism. It’s insane to think the Egyptians were smart enough to build the society they literally lived in, but nobody doubts the validity of the Roman Empire. Crazy concept but maybe Indigenous people of color aren’t savage idiots. And maybe white people aren’t the only ones capable of having societies and interesting architecture. The thing about this that annoys me the most is that… Egyptians still exist today, and the ancestry that dates back to ancient Mesopotamia and Canaan still exist today too. These were human beings, just like us. The alienation of black and brown people proves how little some people see us as normal people.

9. The promotion of practices that are directly harmful. Self mutilation, disorderly eating, or rituals that can induce psychosis or states of mania.

Guess what you actually don’t have to sit on a mountain naked and eat nothing but sunlight to be enlightened. You can definitely do religious or devotional things like fasting within a healthy degree, but I so so often see people promoting things that will very obviously lead to mania and hallucinations just by design. Starving yourself for two weeks while constantly blasting mantras and doing a bunch of psychedelics isn’t enlightenment… it’s a manic episode. While some devotees may feel comfortable offering blood to deities, this should always be in very small ways, a needle poke, not self mutilation.

10. Trying to do business with minors or promote occult topics to children specifically

Just no. I really dislike the idea of selling spells or promoting deity communication to kids still in grade school. They’re trying to manipulate a young mind into believing their dogma or spending their parent’s money. If a parent wants to share their craft with their child, that’s cool, but people who specifically target a younger audience are suspect to me. This isn’t to say spirituality isn’t for kids, it’s just that content that is created for kids is often created to be surface level and profitable in the algorithm.

11. Shitting on New Age Spirituality

Yeah I said it. This to me feels very much like a let’s hate on anything women, especially young women enjoy. Let’s delegitimize their experiences and paint them all as ditzy girls just clanging their crystals together.

There are some things that New Age Spiritualists do that I’m not a fan of, all of the things in this list. However, that doesn’t make this form of spirituality and witchcraft any less legitimate just because it’s somewhat trendy right now. Go fucking howl at the moon and have bon fires with your besties while you do tarot and talk about angel numbers, I don’t give a fuck.

New Age spiritualists aren’t inherently doing anything wrong or different than what ancient cultures have been doing for centuries, it’s just trendy and profitable now. But anything that young women enjoy will inevitably be exploited by the capitalist machine and that is not their fault. Wicca is still a legitimate form of spirituality and witches are not inherently doing anything wrong by being young women. So much of the criticism against NAS is literally just misogyny.
