Go outside to the area designated for your spell and face the way the breeze or wind is coming from

Hold the sachet in both of your hands close to your chest and close you eyes feeling the energy and movement of the wind

Once your intent is clear visualize the wind that you feel on your face swirling around you and your sachet like a tornado, you are safe inside. Any darkness or threats that come near it cut cut by the winds and warded off from getting near to you. Visualize this until you feel that protective energy about you and visualize it anchored to your sachet.

Chant while watching the paper burn: “May you misplace your belongings” until the fire burns out and only ash is left

Throw the ash away or flush it down the toilet to finish the hex

“Nayru’s Love” Parasite Warding Spell (Legend of Zelda Inspired)

A warding spell to protect the user from emotional leeches that may want to cause the caster distress.

You Will Need:

💙 Small Jar or Capsule You Can Wear or Carry - must be sealing!

💙 Crystal Chips/Crushed Crystals of One or More of the Following:

💙 Fluorite 💙 Clear Quartz 💙 Labradorite 💙 Jet

💙 Dried Basil

💙 Dried Cloves

💙 A Blue Candle

💙 A White Candle

💙 Heart-Shaped Bead, Small Charm or Trinket (must fit in bottle/container)

💙 Optional: 

💙 Legend of Zelda Music

💙 Incense Associated with Protection

💙 Additional White or Blue Candles 

Set Up:

Make sure you are in a clear and clean space that doesn’t have any hazards for burning candles. Tie back your hair if it is long and roll up any long sleeves to avoid them catching fire. Light any incense you may wish to burn and make sure it is set up somewhere away from your work space so it does not get knocked over. A flat surface is best for working on this particular spell. Lay out any wax paper or paper towels if desired for easier clean up - melted wax will be used in this spell. For easier pouring of herbs and crystal chips into the container you can use a spoon or make a paper funnel if desired and keep it close at hand. Cleanse your workspace before beginning your spell.

The Spell:

💙 Make sure your blue and white candles are burning but out of the way, let them burn during the duration of the spell

💙 In your container layer in your herbs and crystals. The order or method is up to you though I usually put herbs on the bottom, crystal chips on top.

💙 Place your heart bead inside of bottle and seal it with a cork or its lid

💙 Using your candles (after extinguishing them) use their melted wax to seal the top of the bottle, careful this can get messy

💙 Once sealed place in a windowsill or other area overnight to charge - best to be done during a full moon

Use and Maintaining Spell:

Carry or wear the charm bottle with you to help repel parasites - remember this is not a replacement for regular cleansing or warding practices for yourself or your spaces. You should still continue to cleanse your home and yourself regularly. This bottle will need to be cleansed regularly and recharged using a mixture of your own energy and that of the moon (or other sources if needed). If needed, sometimes the contents of the jar may need to be changed every five or six months, you will know when to do this because the spell jar itself will feel much weaker than when you first made it. Reseal it with new wax after it has been refilled.

Sasha’s Emotional Strength Spell (Neopets Inspired)

“In her hometown, a fierce storm ravaged the long-awaited festival, but Sasha danced away, striking hope and inspiration into the hearts of the villagers.” -Neopets Altador Hall of Heroes

A spell to help you endure even the most brutal of emotional times and hold some strength when you need it most. This spell is one best done before hard times hit for it, like many spells, does require focus and energy put into it. 

You Will Need: 

🎵 Tea Leaves/Black Tea (strength, courage, energy)

🎵 Mugwort (strength, courage)

🎵 Mullein (courage)

🎵 Thyme (courage, determination)

🎵 Rosemary (mental protection, emotional strength)

🎵 Celery Seeds (mental strength, focus)

🎵 Rose Quartz (emotional strength, hope)

🎵 Clear Quartz (energy, power, hope, focus)

🎵 Red Candle (small)

🎵 Jar or Tightly Closing Container

🎵 A Playlist of Songs that Make You Feel Powerful and Courageous

Set Up:

To set up this spell clean and clear an area, cleanse it as needed to prevent energy contamination. Make sure your playlist is set up and ready to play whether it’s through headphones or over some speakers from a phone or computer. If needed, put it on loop to ensure it plays the whole duration. Make sure you set up proper fire safety for this spell does require burning a candle down and over the container so make sure if needed there is wax paper or newspaper to catch any loose drips and that you aren’t working over carpet. Tie back all loose hair and roll up sleeves, due to motions that will take place near the flame. 

The Spell:

🎵 Turn on your playlist, if using speakers be courteous to any neighbors or roommates you may have and try not to have it too loud (especially late at night - don’t be that person)

🎵 Set up the jar or bottle you will be using and add in your herbs. The more herbs the stronger it is - though if it is a smaller container be sure to keep it from overflowing.

🎵 Once your herbs are layered in as desired add in your gemstones or shards

🎵 Screw the lid on tightly and place your candle on top, make sure as it burns it is able to melt over the lid of the container to seal it. Light it 

🎵 Once lit focus on the music playing and the energy it gives you, hold your hands to either side of the jar or container and focus that energy from the music through your body into the jar. Focus like this until wax is well melted from the candle on the jar lid and until you feel satisfied

🎵 If needed blow out or snuff out flame

🎵 Store somewhere safe but nearby. In times of dire trouble take far in hands or arms, hold it close without damaging or risking break to it and feel the energy from it enter you once more.

Shadow Usul’s Night Invisibility Glamour Sachet (Neopets Inspired)

“… creeping slowly up the wall, the shadow usul did not make a sound.“ - Gallery of Evil Neopets

A shadow glamour to help the user go about unseen at night, especially for those who need to walk home or take public transportation during night time hours. Note: this is no replacement for self defense items and a cell phone. This is merely to be added to your nighttime arsenal. 

You Will Need:

🌒 A black Marker

🌒 A sachet preferably black (make sure its not porous - powdered herbs will be inside)

🌒 Ground Chicory (chicory coffee is a good substitute!)

🌒 Poppy Seeds (if possible)

🌒 Black Pepper

🌒 Sea Salt

🌒 Ash or Charcoal

🌒 Dried Bay Leaf

Set Up:

Make sure you have all of your ingredients gathered or as much of it as you can, some can be hard to come by. If needed search substitutions for those you need. Have a sigil in mind for the spell - it should be one of either invisibility or protection. Or one of each! Clear and cleanse your work space before you start your spellwork.

The Spell:

🌒 In your sachet add your chicory, poppy seeds, black pepper, sea salt and ash/charcoal. Make sure the sachet is not leaking or spilling, you want a durable fabric if possible.

🌒 On your bay leaf write your sigils using your black marker - if using two sigils write one on one side and the other upon the other side.

🌒 Take your bay leaf and hold it in your hands, careful not to crush it quite yet. Use your visualization skills and energy to put your intent into this sigil and the leaf itself. You want to go unnoticed and be protected while out at night so put that desire, visualization and energy into it.

🌒 Once satisfied place it into the sachet and pull/tie it shut. Once shut crush it a bit in your hand to get the energy ‘flowing’ in it to both activate the sigil and mix the contents inside, be careful not to rip the sachet open or spill any contents.

🌒 Carry sachet on your person while out at night 

Aftercare:

Be sure to cleanse your sachet regularly - moonlight is always a good option as well as personal energy cleansing techniques. If you ever fear that it is becoming weak - empty out its contents, cleanse the sachet and repeat the spell above. Sachet should be cleansed every few weeks and the contents replaced every six months or so. This is determined by the amount of use sachet gets.

Taelia’s Winter Cleansing Spell (Neopets Inspired)

This spell is to help cleanse oneself of negative energies and help uplift any minor hexes or curses one may be facing by using the energy and element of Winter. Note: This spell may require going into cold weather - be sure to be dressed appropriately.

You Will Need:

❄️ White Candle (Pillar or Candlestick is best)

❄️ Sigil for Cleansing

❄️ Outdoor area you can go out in (preferably with snow or cold weather if possible)

❄️ Toothpick or Pencil or Other Tool for Carving in Candle

Set Up:

This spell is best done in the evening or night time, preferably with a clear moon if possible but not mandatory. If you live somewhere with snow or its cold be sure to dress warmly before heading outside. Make sure the candle you will be holding is tall enough and sturdy enough you can hold it safely in hand while outside without risk of it dripping or burning your hands. If it is windy or poor weather out - best not to do this spell. 

On your candle using your tool, carve a snowflake on one side of it near the top preferably but not too close to the edge. On the other side near the top carve your cleansing sigil. 

The Spell:

❄️ Once properly dressed head outside with your candle, gage the weather while doing so - make sure its safe conditions for you

❄️ Once outside find somewhere you have some space and are comfortable in, make sure its not somewhere you can risk tripping or slipping while doing this spell, it does require some walking. If needed set up some lights if it is dark out to avoid any tripping hazards.

❄️ Light your candle once you have found your spot, the sigil and snowflake should already be carved into the candle from the set up above

❄️ Once lit hold your candle up in both hands high, though not directly over your head (hot wax is not fun) 

❄️ “Snow of the North, Snow of the Night, Lift this darkness from my life” 

❄️ Lower your candle to be held comfortably in front of you, not too close to risk burns or flare ups but not too far out that it feels awkward or strains your arms.

❄️ Begin walking in a circle as best as you can, your choice the size of the circle, I usually do one of about 4 to 5 foot radius, but whatever is comfortable for you to do safely 

❄️ While walking chant “Winter snow, cleanse me”. Walk this circle however many times you feel comfortable I personally usually do about 5 to 6 times.

❄️ Once done raise the candle up one last time as you did before “Snow of the North, Snow of the Night, thank you for giving me the light” And blow out the candle

❄️ Head back inside where it’s warm and take a good rest

As a city-bound person who uses sea magick to ground and relax myself when I'm stressed, thank you. It's validating to see this kind of post.

Stuck in the City: Landlocked Sea Witches

Living on the coast or near the ocean is not an option for many people. Whether it be budgetary reasons, minors living with family, spoonie witches who need to live with caregivers, or being stuck in a landlocked state or country. Though because you have distance between you and the ocean, doesn’t mean you cannot connect to it still. Though your craft will likely not be as powerful at times as one who is practicing straight on the beach, never think that you cannot use the energies of the great oceans in your craft just because you are stuck somewhere else. With this masterpost I hope to help my fellow landlocked witches know how to connect and use sea magick.

Stop the Gatekeeping

First I would like to address a problem I have seen several times in this community (especially here on witchblr) about sea witchcraft. I have seen far too many people telling others they cannot use anything ocean related in their craft unless they are near or on the beach, and that if you wish to practice sea magick you “should just move to the coast”. This is an issue I already brought up in my little intro: for many that is just not possible.

Firstly, in several places living even near the coast costs extreme amounts of money, much more than certain people can afford. Secondly, it may not be medically feasible. If the spoonie witch’s caregivers or care circle cannot move or if moving is something that could upset their illness further, they should certainly not move just to please you “real sea witches”. Some countries are also simply landlocked, they’d have to move completely out of their homeland to reach the coast and for some that is not even an option. So before you go onto this post saying it is inaccurate because sea witches only live by the sea, please do not and think for a moment that not everyone has the same circumstances as you. We all have different lives, needs and situations going on and not everyone can live the same way. Let others practice their craft in a way that suits them.

Getting Started/Creating your Space

As in my previous Stuck In the City post, we are going to start with a space or altar set up that will allow you to help feel connected to the ocean. Depending on the space you have available there can be some fun ways for you to connect to it. First find a corner or a table or even a spare part of a room that you can use for your set up, the more room the better in my personal opinion but I understand that space can be very limited.

Clean and cleanse the space you wish to use, make sure this is done well enough for the space to be comfortable to work in. Next it is time to create space for yourself, create an area that you can either sit or even lay down in, whatever you find to be the most comfortable when meditating or rejuvenating yourself after a long day.

Once it has been clean and cleared find a nice flat space and surface to place your altar, preferable somewhere that is fire safe in case of wanting to use incense or candles. I usually in cases of meditation or long term practice try to make it somewhere comfortable with furniture or an area where I can sit or even recline during my practice. I personally enjoy some extra pillows or cushions in the corner though this is entirely up to you.

Some things to consider adding to your ocean altar: beach sand, shells of any kind (clam, oyster, cone, crushed, broken etc), crab shells, dried sand dollars, dried starfish, driftwood, ocean stones/pebbles, shell dust, sea glass, sea salt, dried kelp (powder), ropes, buckets/cups/bowls/containers, fish bones, fish oil, bottles, shark teeth, cork and sea water.
