Courage, Dear Heart
A favorite quote of mine; to be used to help through hard times or when an extra push is needed. In the center place an identifying mark for whom it is being cast; a name sigil, a signature, a drawing or stamp that evokes the person’s memory.
I designed this sigil a year ago while coping with some small tragedies. It’s a sadness catcher. Give it all your sorrow and angst and it will leave you feeling new. I’m turning it into a painting but the process is slow.
Sigils With Triggers
Okay, so I got a couple messages from @misaimed-archer Asking about some sigil stuff, some of which being about ‘conditional sigils’ where they only cast when certain circumstances are met, like being in the presence of another sigil or a certain item. Which got me thinking, that’s a totally plausible idea, but how do you do that? So in my somewhat drunken state, I got thinking about it, and this is what I’ve come up with.
So you make two sigils, one for your intent, and a trigger sigil.
So you got those two sigils now. But just because you have the two sigils doesn’t mean they’re going to work as intended. How do you make it so that the ‘trigger sigil’ triggers the intended sigil? How do you make it so that the intent sigil doesn’t work on its own anyways? Well I’ll tell you how!
Putting the sigils inside eachother creates a connection or a link between the two sigils. They’ll act like magnets do when they get within a certain proximity of eachother. But instead of the reaction being attracting to eachother, it’ll activate the otherwise designated purpose of the ‘intent sigil’. So when these sigils come within a certain distance of eachother (which would be decided by the intent and general power of the creator/castor), it’ll trigger the intent!
If you’d like a couple examples on how it would work, click the link below.

Inside your phone case
In your wallet

On your cosmetics
Tags of clothing
On your water bottle
On a key ring
Nail polish designs
Written on your skin in places others won't see or notice
On the bottom or on the heel of your shoes

Spell crafting in witchcraft 101
this is a quick guide on different types of spells and their formulas.
First, we should talk about what a spell is to know how to use them and write them ourselves. According to the British book of spells and charms, a spell is a set of actions or words intended to bring about a change or revelation. The change might be to cure an illness or improve the weather or bring luck. And a revelation is usually to show the location of a lost object or to show the identity…

Easy protections you can do in literally 5 minutes:
Take a tea light out of its holder and put lemon pepper in the bottom. Burn it.
Draw a pentacle, Algiz, or some other protective symbol on a white tea light. Burn it.
Write “[your name] is protected” on a bay leaf and burn it.
Drink coffee with intent.
Draw protective symbols on your windows with moon water and black salt (salt and pepper if you don’t have black salt).

Low Energy/Effort Witchcraft
Are you perpetually busy? Never have any spoons? This might be the post for you. Note that not everything here may be considered low energy or low effort to everyone, and that's okay :)
Carry a crystal around based on what you need. I have a black tourmaline bracelet that absorbs negative vibes throughout the day. I stick it on a selenite slab when I get home to cleanse overnight, then rinse and repeat in the morning.
Put a bay leaf in your wallet to attract money. If you have time, draw a sigil or a $/£/€ on it.
Dedicate anything you drink to your deities if you have any. I dedicate water and black tea to everyone and my favourite raspberry tea to Hathor. Coffee is for Caim.
Enchant your pill case so you remember to take them on time. Enchant your pills to work efficiently. ("Anxiety begone. Ye be banished" on all of my anxiety pills ✌️)
Draw a sigil on your body wash bottle to remove bad vibes or carve a sigil in a bar of soap.
Enchant your moisturizer to repel the evil eye. I fucking love this one.
Incorporate colour magic into the socks you wear (Goths who wear hot pink socks, I'm looking at you).
Enchant your charger so it doesn't break and so you don't lose it. Enchant your phone too while you're at it.
Sorry, I love enchantments--
Uhhhhh
Match those big ol jar candles to different intentions. Burn a cedar candle to cleanse/banish. Burn a cinnamon candle to draw in prosperity. Burn a citrus candle to uplift mood. This one is fantastic for broom closet witches.
Got a humidifier? Fill it up with moon water. You're welcome ;D
Politely ask the spirits of your plants to ward your space. Feed two birds with one scone this way.
Witchy social media. Scrolling on Tumblr and learning something new about witchcraft counts as witchcraft imo. Saving tarot spreads from Instagram for later counts too. Making Pinterest boards for literally anything also counts.
Keep a digital grimoire if doing it on paper costs too many spoons. I have used Google docs & drive in the past but I currently use Notion (You can copy and paste this way!)
If you still want a physical grimoire, print your stuff out and stick it in a binder or glue it in your journal. Boom. Physical grimoire
Listen to witchcraft related videos in the background while you do other tasks or chores in your home
Preparing a meal? Toss in spices that correspond with good health and drawing in positivity, or any other intention you have
Enchant your glasses to help you focus and "read between the lines" or see what wants to remain hidden (this one is a lifesaver at my job)
How I Make Sigils
Hello my lovely friends! As you probably have seen, I love using sigils in my spell jars, and I thought I would make a little tutorial for you all about how I like to make sigils. Keep in mind there is no right or wrong way to create sigils, but this is my preferred method :)
This is the method I use copied directly from my grimoire. If you want to learn more about my grimoire and how I like to organize my witchy life, just lmk :)
You Will Need:
- A piece of paper (or a digital way to do it, I did this example on my iPad)
- A pen
- An intention
Instructions:
1. Come up with your intention. This should be worded in present tense, and can be as specific (I have a successful career at NASA as an aerospace engineer) as you want to make it. Normally, I would recommend airing on the more specific side, as having a clear intention in mind is essential to spell work!
2. Write out your intention on a piece of paper. For this one I will be using my protection sigil you can find here. My intention was: I am protected and grounded as I am reminded of my inner strength.
3. Cross out any vowels, including 'y'
4. Cross out any repeating letters
5. Using the chart below, write out the number correspondences
6. Draw out your number circle. Again, there are many ways to do this, but this is the method I prefer
7. Finally, connect your lines and dots! When I hit a repeating number, I add a dot to where the number was previously used and skip over it, connecting to the next number (This is pretty hard to explain via text, so I highlighted where I did it on the sigil with the numbers 5 7 1)
As you can see, I added the dot to the 7 and connected the 5 and 1 together with a line, since those are both first time numbers
8. Practice your sigil and add a flourish or two and you're done!
