The magick of dandelion
Native americans would boil dandelion in water to treat kidney disease, swelling, skin problems, heartburn, and digestive issues.
All parts of the dandelion are edible (preferably fresh). The roots are best harvested between June and August as they are the most bitter at this point, and the leaves can be harvested at any time throughout the season.
When collecting dandelions make sure you pick them from an area that you know hasn’t been sprayed or treated with any chemicals or pesticides.
Dandelion can be used to enhance psychic abilities. Dandelion root tea aids in divination and prophetic dreaming.
The best time to harvest the dandelion blossoms is in the afternoon when the flowers are fully open.
Magickal properties of dandelion: creativity, inspiration, sun magick, courage, bravery, wishes, divination, dispels negative energy, banishment, increases psychic abilities, prophetic dreams, growth, transformation.

🔮BANISHING🔮
VS
🔮WARDING🔮
✨🧿✨🧿✨🧿✨🧿✨🧿✨🧿✨🧿✨🧿
(what really is the difference?)
✨🧿✨🧿✨🧿✨🧿✨🧿✨🧿✨🧿✨🧿
✨🧿✨🧿✨🧿✨🧿✨🧿✨🧿✨🧿✨🧿 ✨🧿✨🧿
BANISHING
Banishing is far more specific and direct than warding.
✨🧿✨🧿✨🧿✨🧿✨🧿✨🧿✨🧿✨🧿 ✨🧿✨🧿
WHY IS IT USED?
Banishing is used to get rid of a particulur energy, spirit, or person. Think carefully before banishing, as it's a strong form of defensive magic.
✨🧿✨🧿✨🧿✨🧿✨🧿✨🧿✨🧿✨🧿 ✨🧿✨🧿
BANISHING METHODS
USE THE ELEMENTS
burn a slip of paper with your target's name on it
throw a leaf with your target's name on it into a running river/stream
burn corresponding herbs and pass the smoke through your space
CANDLES
anoint your candle with corresponding herbs and oils, then burn it
when the candle has burnt out. the banishing is complete
SIGILS
make your own banishing sigil find one that resonates with you
place it in the space or on the item you are banishing energy from
HERBS + TINCTURES
use herbal smoke to force energy out of a space or object
make a spray or herbal tineture to sprinkle around your home
FOLLOW YOUR INTUITION
use the method that calls to you
never use a method that feels wrong or that you haven't researched thoroughly
✨🧿✨🧿✨🧿✨🧿✨🧿✨🧿✨🧿✨🧿 ✨🧿✨🧿
🔮✨🔮✨🔮✨🔮✨🔮✨🔮✨🔮✨🔮✨🔮
WARDING
Warding is a gentler form of defensive magic that is used in a more general sense.
🔮✨🔮✨🔮✨🔮✨🔮✨🔮✨🔮✨🔮✨🔮
WHY IS IT USED?
Warding is used to protect and guard from negative energies of any kind - it redirects energy away from you or your space.
🔮✨🔮✨🔮✨🔮✨🔮✨🔮✨🔮✨🔮✨🔮
WARDING METHODS
VISUALIZATION
use your intention and energy to visualize a powerful barrier of protecting light around yourself or your space for more info on ENERGETIC PROTECTION click HERE
GUARDIANS
create a guardian to guard your home or space from negative energies
use a small object, enchant it with your intention,and keep it in a safe, permanent place
CRYSTALS

black salt can be ured in banishing rituals or used alone

HERBS

a beginner’s guide to…
✨ altars ✨
here are some materials you can use for an altar, whether it is for your spellwork, a deity, or any other use! altars should reflect your personality, and be a space where you feel happy and safe :D
none of these materials are required, and everything is completely customizable to your beliefs! (just practice respect and safety obviously)
🕯️ basics 🕯️
an altar cloth is a piece of fabric that covers your altar. this could be a bandana, a small blanket, or even a piece of paper!
a glass plate is a mundane but VERY versatile altar piece. it can work as an offering dish, a tray to collect wax drippings, or just a little trinket holder
candles are an easy addition to any altar. you can use any type of candle, but my favorites are taper and prayer candles. scented candles are completely fine to use as well! choose candles based on color and scent
natural materials like crystals, flowers, plants, animal bones (responsibly sourced), etc. are an incredible addition to any altar! if you have a deity altar, learn about their associations and use this to guide your choice
paper and pen/pencil will be your best friend if you write petitions, draw sigils, etc. keep them near your altar for convenience
🌱 cleansing 🌱
many people believe an area should be “cleansed” before it is used as an altar or sacred space
methods of cleansing include incense, water cleansing, sage smudging, and more
incense cleansing is often done by wafting an incense stick or cone through a space and visualizing the smoke clearing out negative energy
sandalwood, lavender, and rosemary are common incense choices for cleansing
water cleansing is something i do a lot, it can be done by sprinkling water in an area or even washing/pouring water. regular tap water is perfectly fine, but you can also incorporate moon water, sun water, rainwater, etc.
smudging with sage involves burning a bundle of sage and, similar to incense cleansing, wafting the smoke through the area. sage smudging is traditional to indigenous tribes like the Lakota and Navajo. as a result, sage smudging (especially the use of white sage) is often considered cultural appropriation when done by non-indigenous people. i am not indigenous nor do i use sage, so i am not incredibly well versed on the subject but i thought i should include it. always do research and practice respect and sensitivity 💌
🌙 takeaways 🌙
finally, your altar is YOUR space. you can include or exclude anything you want; your space doesn’t need to be “aesthetic” or make sense to others
my first altar was a cardboard box with one candle and a handful of crystals. it wasn’t expensive or fancy, but it got me into my practice
through the years, my altar has grown and changed as i have
if you want to make an altar, start with what you have! you would be surprised how powerful your resources are 🩷

How to get back into your practice after a burnout
Alot of times in our practices, we often just straight up forget. Not going to lie to you I didn't practice much until I got out of my mom's home...which was one year ago. And I also have a theory that since paganism isnt dogmatic and is meant to be ran by a community we fall out really easy, it's natural, paganism is different now. But anyways here is chaos's master guide on how to put on your big girl panties and get back the work.
(disclaimer: just because these things worked for me doesn't mean it's going to work for everyone else, this post is completely upg. I'm just offering advice.)
Starting out small
What never stuck to me is those post that are like: "stir your intentions into your coffee, light incense, pray" because like yeah thats a good way to start off I really dont think itll set in our brains to do this everyday. Instead what I recommend is finding days to practice and sticking to that day. Find a day where you useally do nothing and dedicate it to getting back into your practice.
You could use this day to research on all the things you forgotten (been there)
Or you could just leave offerings out for your deities and call it a day
I think if you uphold a certain schedule your mind will get into the habit of "oh today's witch day, time to do witchcraft" this is basic psychology, and I promise it works 😭😭
Deity work and getting back into it
Little reminder: your gods are not mad at you. They do not hate you. They love you.
I have had so many falling outs with deities because I just couldn't uphold a schedule. Hekate being one of them. Hekate really showed me the way once I moved out of my mother's house, and after so many ins and outs of my worship to her, she still showed me love and compassion. I promise your gods will do the same. They understand our mortal lives more then you comprehend. After all, this is their earth.
Stuff you can do to get back into worship with your deities:
- offerings, big or small
- dedicate days to them, in my schedule Hekate is worshipped on Monday, and Aphrodite on Friday.
- research ways to connect with them more
- don't make big promises that you will get back into your practice and never fall out again, thats just putting yourself in more responsibility, your gods will now expect that responsibility. I've done this before and I definitely got side eyed by Hekate 😭😭
I recommend reading over these lovely post by @/khaire-traveler
Subtle deity worship
I honestly used this alot to get back into worship with my deities 😭😭 these posts go into worship you could do for deities while you are either hiding your practice or just want to do something for your gods. Really helpful post 10/10.
Getting back into witchcraft
I know I kind of went over this already, but I feel like there needs to be some small steps to getting back into witchcraft before we get to rituals, spells and stuff of that sort.
To get back into witchcraft, I recommend meditating, either by yourself or with your deities. Meditation allows you to just focus on the present and let go of all your stresses. I like to meditate with my deities because I get visions from them easily this way, it's easier for me to communicate.
From there you can do research on the basics of witchcraft and work your way up to rituals and spell work... hopefully all of this makes sense
Anyways yeah that's all the advice I have to getting back into your practice, if I have anything else to add I'll reblog this and add more. But yeah! I really hopes this helps at least someone lol.
Why are some people in this community so rude, can't read and can't answer a simple question? Please don't comment on my questions if you're going to be rude and unhelpful.
Has anyone else had this issue? Now I don't even want to ask questions anymore.
🌟Witchy tip of the day:
If you can't banish it, don't summon it.

SMUDGING: Cleansing Your Space And Removing Negativity.
The art of smudging is an ancient spiritual ritual for purification, dispelling negative energy and improving mood and can easily be incorporated into your weekly routine or meditative practice.
But Why Don't Smudging Always Work? Because you probably not doing right or not using the right smudge. Certain ones ore use to fight and to clear, but it's also used for medicine. Lean the right process and Don't Be trying to fight demons.
Sage: Sage is one of the herbs that we see on all kinds of shows and tells us it can be used to rid a place of demons..No,No,No... Why? So when burned is brings in for wisdom, clarity, and increased spiritual awareness. Sage is spiritual, it's is use in ceremonies, it's, lit, and boiled, eaten as a medicine, its can be to clean a space, Items, tools. It can cleanses lower, and darker negative vibrational energies. (But it cannot get rid of heaver dark energies or dark entities like demons)
Now Why Is That? Well basically what happens is that when its use it put the spirit or entity in a state of rest or calms them down. BUT after it's clears and may be a few weeks of piece that start to wake get active. They gets more violent. We see this and hear this all the time someone sages, a minister comes in do a prayer everything is good for a while then get worse.
But one thing it doesn't do is bring back positive energies, just clears out the bad.
I only use to remove unwanted energies.
Palo Santo: The story goes that Palo Santo was found was by Spanish monks who discovered the tree centuries ago, they named it “palo santo” - “Holy Wood” or “The Wood Of The Saints.” Palo Santo has been used for centuries by shamans, Palo Mayombe Ceremony, Santeria, Vodou, Voodoo, Hoodoo for ritual prayer, ceremonies and healing. It can can enhance your creativity, productivity and increase good fortune.
Now it won't get rid of demons but It does clear your space of negative energy and fill it with positivity energy, and optimism.
"Think of it like this. If Sage CLEARS out the bad energies and Palo Santo BRINGS back the good energies. You can use both with a strong prayer"
Great to have.
Dragons Blood
There are three main uses for Dragon's Blood when it comes to spiritual rituals. It can be used for banishing, healing, and for protection works too. It's also can help give a positive mood and enhances productivity. (Due to its energy lifting and productivity-boosting abilities).
Dragons Blood Sage or incense will cleanse, heal and protect you and the energy in your space.
SWEET GRASS: Sweetgrass is an indigenous plant used by Native Americans, its is used in smudging ceremonies to help purify the environment and it can eliminate negative thoughts and energies or spirits by pushing them out of the house. This ceremony is helps the healing process occur without being distracted by negative influences.
In smudging, certain herbs are burned and the smoke is taken into the hands and brushed or rubbed over the body.
CEDIR: Cedar is another that works like sweet grass. Burning it help cleanse the body, mind, and soul of negative energy.
Ceder is often used to cleanse a new home or apartment etc, by bringing in positive energy and eliminate negative thoughts and energies or spirits by pushing them out of the house.
Cedar is also considered an herb of consecration that can welcome guardians to hold the energy of a ritual space
The smoke from this smudge is believed to connect the physical plane to the spiritual realm and open a portal to subtle energies.
You can use ceder ash for protection of a property or wear putting some it on the body.
You can make ash buy burning ceder untill it turn completely white. You can use any other wood asking as it not bought from a store collect it naturally burn until white then add ceder leaves with prayer for blessing.
Frankincense, Myrrh.
Tow of the best Holy Herbs. Used by priest to bless and cleansed a space. (Very powerful) Frankincense use for eliminating negativity, Myrrh helps maintain a state of enlightenment and purifies the premises from negative energy.
Good for removing bad spirits.
"It great for manifesting the Holy Spirit when use with prayer".
To Start:
• First you start with a simple intention of focusing on clearing the negative energy out of your space and mind. Once you have your intention in mind, light the Sage or Palo Santo and hold at a 45 degree angle pointing the tip down towards the flame. Allow it to burn for 30 seconds and then blow it out.
Place it on any heat-proof burning surface like an abalone shell, tray etc.
If left to rest the stick will smoulder and release smoke for approximately 5 mins. If used for smudging, walk around the room, space, object or person, fanning the smoke over its entirety, whilst focusing on cleansing and clearing negative energy.
(Make Shure you open a window or door to let out the energy.)
Imagined a white light covering your space. say a load I cover this space in holy white light and remove all negative energy from this space. (Or say a prayer) 2 Samuel 7:28-29 niv. Works for house Blessing.
PRAYERS.
"Dear Jesus, cleanse this house, allowing only love and light to remain".
"Father God, rid this place of all negativity, bringing in only positive vibrations."
You'll notice that I use the word love. Love energy has the highest vibration. Even invoking love can change the vibration of any location.
Next: open all doors and drawers in your home or space Pass the smoke around all door frames and mirrors to close my door ways and remove any energies that don't belong.
Once you’ve finished smudging and removed the negative energy, you must push positive energy into the space to maintain balance. To do this, declare your intention out loud or silently in your head.
Now we all know that not all spirits are negative. here's what to I would say to get rid of a Ghost in your home.
Help a Spirit Move On Prayer.
(I use a white candle for this prayer)
"I ask the angels to show this lost spirit the loving light of heaven and help them transition to the next place. "With love and light I cleanse this space to help them on their way to the next place".
So we're at the end of the post I wanted to ask if you can try to grow or pick them your self make an offering these plants have a spirit that needs to be respected and that helps when your helping others.
But if you cant pick or grow your own, I would blessed it and still make an offering.
Happy cleansing!
Can anyone give me more information on what psychic magic is?
I used to be able to see aura's when I was in elementary school. Is that a form of psychic magic? I think I want to get more into psychic magic just having a bit of trouble finding information on what that all entails. Any help would be appreciated!
