Self Love Bath
Rose petal bath bomb with added herbs (I used rosemary, but this is all about you so use what makes you feel best).
Candles I used:
Red - for love
White - for love and peace
Incense:
Vanilla *I used this one!
Cinnamon
Rosemary
NOTE!
A lot of different incense could work just as well, I’d search for a list of incense and their symbolism just in case :)
Bubbles are great for this bath!!
Pamper yourself however you see fit. Shave, read, listen to music, talk to friends, use face masks and lotions and all sorts of products, wash your hair, etc. Anything works!
Boneset Spell (2/25/17)
The Spell (The Goodly Spellbook):
Technically to be used on another injured person; however I used it on myself and it still worked.
For most wounds, bruises, pains, etc.
Call upon Gods and Goddesses of Healing
Place a hand above the wound, rocking steadily to your own set rhythm
Imagine the pain fleeing the body.
Repeat the following as many times as you see fit (I repeated it three times, and it worked for me, but this is about you and/or the person you are healing):
This is the spell that I intone,
Flesh to flesh, and bone to bone,
Sinew to sinew, and vein to vein,
And (injured’s name) is made whole again.
Adding ‘So mote it be’ could have an effect but is not necessary(?)
Variation:
Merseburg Incantation:
Bone sprain like blood sprain like limb sprain,
Bone to bone, blood to blood, limb to limb,
like they were glued.
Adding ‘So mote it be’ could have an effect but is not necessary(?)
My Experience:
Previously, I had fallen whilst ice skating and injured myself fairly badly. Calling upon Woden, I recited the first spell three times (saying ‘So mote it be’ at the end). Within a day, the spell began to work, taking a lot of the pain off of my backside. By the time I fell asleep, there was only a minute bit of pain that didn’t effect me all that much. Being a beginner witch, I would say this spell worked fairly amazingly and went off without a hitch. Thanks be to Woden.

A Prayer, A Spell, A Curse
May the immortal gods one and all,
From axis to axis, from pole to pole.
From the heavens above, to far below.
Red face demon you have been charged guilty
Guilty from crimes against the gods, spirits and humanity,
So hear me gods far and near
I cast this spell to restore balance and to abolish fear
This spell has no reason nor want to come back to me
For what I cast is justifiable and will never harm me.
With your help O gods this Spell I bestow.
Make its strong, make it impervious make it so.
Protect the children of love and peace,
From the Abrahamic demon's destructive feast.
Smite the red face demons' evil wherever they stand,
Remove them all from our beloved mortal land
And where once where red demons walked this land
Replace them all with love and compassion I demand
Evil and hatred I now bend and control
I send you back to Hell's infernal hall!
Satan's evil son I now control and command
I remove you and yours from this mortal land.
Death to you red faced monster of evil and plight
I vanquish you with this spell I cast this night.
Back to hell you go from where you were sired
Back to Hell and Satan's brimstone fire.
And for every milli-ounce of harm you create,
100x100 fold will come back to you. This I dictate!
Death to you and those who serve you!
Death to you and those who serve you!
Death to you and those who serve you!
Death to you and those who serve you!
Death to you and those who serve you!
Death to you and those who serve you!
Death to you and those who serve you!
Death to you and those who serve you!
Death to you and those who serve you!

Basil Lime Sugar Cookies
This is another recipe for kitchen magic. Basil is super helpful with just about anything- protection, health, joy etc. Mixed with lime I would say these cookies are good for a pick me up and can be charged to be a mood booster.
Ingredients:
1/2 cup of butter (softened)
1 1/2 tsp lime juice (to taste tbh)
1 1/4 cup of granulated sugar
1 3/4 cup of all purpose flour
1 egg
3/4 tsp baking powder
3/4 tsp vanilla extract
Fresh finely chopped basil (I used like 10 leaves)
1/2 tsp salt
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 375°F
Beat together butter and sugar until combined
In a separate bowl combine flour, baking powder and salt
To the butter/sugar mixture add egg, lime juice, vanilla extract, basil and salt. Mix
Slowly add dry mixture to the wet mixture and mix until combined. Dough should not be sticky to the touch
Line cookie sheets with parchment paper
My cookies did not spread out too much so you can place them relatively close on the tray. Just roll into a ball and place them wherever (May differ for yours so calculate your own risks)
Bake for 15-17 minutes until slight golden color at the bottoms. The cookie itself should stay pretty light so look for cracks along the top.
Let cookies rest on baking tray for two minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
Additional Notes:
With any kind of kitchen magic it is what you make it. I charged all of my ingredients before baking and while mixing thought of the intentions I wanted behind them. They were quite literally made with love.
Merry Yuletide Loves!
Winter Solstice Party
Does anyone have any ideas/suggestions on throwing a Yule party. I don’t think any of my friends are pagan/witchy, but they know I am; I’ve had small solstice parties in the past and everyone had a good time. When I’m looking for inspo I only see really outdated or gimmicky ideas. I know that Christmas is very derivative of Yule so there is a lot of crossover, but if anyone knows subtle winter solstice ideas I’d appreciate it!
Some ideas:
I ordered bulk whole sale crystals and incense to put together little bags for everyone
Decorating in white, green, red and gold
Cooking and baking a few dishes
Garlands and candles
Radishes in a jar ~

Sabbat Bread 🖤
Here is a really simple bread recipe that I make on almost all sabbats. At its base it is focaccia so you can add different herbs for different properties or times of the year.
What you’ll need:
A large pan
Three large bowls
3 1/3 cups of water (preferably at 110°F or 43°C, but you can honestly just turn your sink as hot as it will go and this will work)
2 teaspoons of sugar/honey
3 1/2 cups of flour
2 1/4 teaspoons of yeast (or one 1 oz packet)
1/4 cup of olive oil
2 teaspoons of coarse sea salt (if using table salt, only use 1 teaspoon.)
2 teaspoons of minced garlic
A sprig of fresh rosemary (1 tablespoon of dried)
How to make:
Pour water and sugar into a large bowl, mix until dissolved. Lightly stir in yeast. Let stand for 5-10 minutes until yeast has foamed.
In another bowl mix together flour and two teaspoons of salt.
Slowly stir in half of the flour salt mixture, then add 1/4 a cup of olive oil. Continue to combine while adding the rest of the flour mixture.
Before kneading the bread by hand, cover a different bowl in a thin layer of olive oil and set aside.
Flour your hands and begin kneading the mixture, continue adding additional flour if the dough is too wet.
When the dough no longer sticks to your hands transfer dough to the oiled bowl and cover with a damp towel.
Leave dough to rise in a warm area for an hour.
After the dough has risen, transfer this to a oiled pan that you plan to bake the bread in. The pan can be a cast iron skillet, glass cake pan, it doesn’t matter!
Let bread rise for another 20 minutes.
Preheat oven to 400°F or 204°C.
Use your fingers to press holes all over the dough. Do not worry about hitting the bottom of the pan, press holes all around the dough until it is spread out evenly throughout the pan.
Cover the dough in a light layer of olive oil, salt, garlic and rosemary.
Cook the bread for 25 minutes, or until golden brown.
Let rest for 10 minutes, remove from pan and enjoy!
Metaphysical Properties:
Not everything you cook has to be magick, but if you do intend on practicing make sure to cleanse your kitchen and set your intentions throughout the process!
Garlic is a feminine protective and purifying root.
Rosemary has healing properties and is known for its feminine energy, it is also used for clearing the mind.
Sea Salt is traditionally used for protection and banishment. It’s ties with the ocean and femininity make this bread good for full moons.
Other Notes~
You can use a stand mixer if you have a dough attachment instead of kneading by hand.
Serve with a mixture of olive oil, parmigiana cheese and red pepper flakes to dip.

Letting Go Spell 🔥🔮
I used this to let go of anger and to move on from a situation that I’ve been stubbornly clinging onto for weeks. Sometimes anger does more harm than pain. As with any spell or ritual change what you see fit. 🌱
What you’ll need
-A cleansed rock
-A red candle
-Something to write with
-Moon/rain water
-A selection of music (optional)
-A compass?
What to do
Cleanse your space any any tools you’re using.
Play intense angered music, something with heavy lyrics and sound. I listen to something similar to “im yer dad” by GRLwood
Hold your rock and write on it what you want to let go of, for example I wrote anger and drew a sigil for releasing anger.
While facing the East, light the red candle and pour some of the wax onto the rock.
Hold the rock, scream, head bang, be angry, and swear.
Go outside and face the West. (You can face a window if need be) Sit cross legged with the rock in your right hand.
Begin centering yourself, slowly feel the anger from within seep out into the rock.
Change the music to something light. (I listened to Daylight by Taylor Swift)
Continue to envision the rock becoming heavier and hotter and yourself become lighter and relaxed.
When the time feels right toss rock away from you. Not aggressively, just kindly return the rock back to earth. There is nothing this anger can do to serve you now.
Speak “I return this energy to you. Bless me with the strength to move on. So mote it be.”
Meditate and cleanse your forehead with moon/rain water. These things are no longer with you, move up and move on.
Notes
Remember to cast a protective circle.
Magick is fluid and changes for each individual please don’t feel you need to strictly follow this or any other spell step by step. Replace tools with what you have on hand, include your deities, skip steps, it is ALL about intent!
I prefer to do this spell in the rain and use that to cleanse myself. It is truly powerful.
Don’t practice magick when you are upset or distraught, things will go sour.
Feel free to reach out to me with any questions or concerns!
Blessed be 🌍 ✨
Meditation ideas for those who can’t sit still ✌️
Not everyone (me) can sit still and a lot of people (also me) find it hard to center themselves before a ritual or spell by just sitting and thinking. Here are some ideas I use when I find conventional reflection is not an option:
Count numbers up to either a target or until you feel content (I have been known to write on my leg I would suggest use paper)
Rip some paper or an index card as much as possible (use old paper that’s already been written on)
Run it out 🏃🏃♂️🏃♀️
If the weather is bad I will go outside and just shake or dance for as long as my bare feet can handle it, I come in feeling new and absolutely ready to go
Lay on the ground like a starfish and try to stretch your body as wide as it goes
Cook or bake something 🥘
Please add more ideas I love having choices when I want to practice but can’t pull myself to focus! I hope this post helped someone 💕
Night time Ritual
Just like all things in witchcraft you can add and take things away in order to fit your practice! Worship your deities, do a face mask, don’t light any candles, meditate for 30 seconds or a whole hour do whatever needed to detox and reflect on your day. Here is what I do.
What I use
Cleansing tool (Incense, crystals, etc)
Tarot deck
Candle (incorporate color magic!)
Music ( I like listening to Tibetan bowls)
Compass?
Ritual
Queue up any music, light a candle, clear space to sit and stretch comfortably.
Cleanse yourself and your space by passing the lit incense or crystal counter clock wise to expel any negative energy you’ve gathered throughout the day. Cleanse any other tools you will be using.
Determine where north is and sit cross legged or comfortably face this direction.
If you need structure to your meditation you can do High, Low, Kudos. This is a reflection tool to think of your highs of the day, your lows and giving kudos to people or spirits who assisted you through the day. Thank your body or mind for one wonderful thing it did today even if this was just getting out of bed 💕
When you feel relaxed and soupy do some of your favorite stretches, reach for the sky and touch your toes, hug yourself and flex your feet.
At this point I like to do spell work, tarot readings or use my pendulum.
Cleanse yourself again moving in a clockwise motion to attract positive energy for the next day.
Congrats you’ve made it through another day! ✨
Like I said this can be shortened and changed to fit your needs, if you’re sleeping over a friends and can only sit with your eyes clothes then that’s okay! I like to ask my mom (who doesn’t know witchcraft exists) if she wants to join, we meditate and stretch together. She finds a lot of comfort and relaxation in this practice as well even if it’s a different meaning for her. Good luck to everyone in the new year and feel free to message me with any questions or concerns! 😌💫💕
We love staring off the year with The Devil card and an overarching theme of self-destruction ✌️✌️
Crescent Cookies 🌙
I’ve been wanting to use some magick since the last time I almost burned down my kitchen so here we go.
Baking or cooking magick is wonderful way for witches in the broom closet to create and discretely practice.
TBH this recipe went haywire so I randomly threw some more stuff in oops.
What you’ll need
For cookies
2-2 1/4 cups of all purpose flour
2 sticks of softened salted butter (add 1/4 a pinch of salt if you don’t have salted butter)
3/4 cups of sugar
2 tablespoons of milk
1/2 cup of chopped almonds
Pinch of Cinnamon
For icing (optional)
3/4 cups of powdered sudar
1 tablespoon of milk
A dash of vanilla extract
Recipe
Beat the butter until fluffy, then add sugar. Best until combined
Add almonds, cinnamon and 2 cups of flour, mix until combined
The mix should be crumbly and not a dough yet. Slowly add milk until dough consistency.
Use the rest of the flour for your hands and break off pieces to form crescent shapes
Place on cookie sheet and cook for 15 minutes.
In another bowl mix together powdered sugar, milk and vanilla extract. Add more powdered sugar or milk for desired consistency.
Allow cookies to cool then dip into frosting while still warm.
Random notes
You can light candles in your kitchen, cleanse your space before cooking or add anything that you find fit.
I left some of these cookies on my alter and brought some to a friends party, this was the first time I successfully baked some I’m pretty proud.
I wish everyone a blessed new year ~
When cleansing my tools in moonlight I feel like a mother lining up her kids to spray them off with the hose after they’ve been playing in dirt all day.
Some plant love 💕
Overnight Cleansing Ritual ✨🌙
This is more of a log for myself in the future, but maybe this can inspire or remind anyone to take a moment for themselves or declutter before the start of a new decade! I’m only about a year into my Wiccan journey so some things may not make sense or work in a way you’d think to, but I think intentions are what drive energies and magic so this my own ritual that I’ve done in the past to clear my mind and space.
Things you’d need:
You
Your room
A preferred cleansing tool
White candle
Morning ☀️
Beginning in the morning I did strip and make my bed, I vacuumed the mattress, the floors and began throwing out any trash I’ve had piled up between the bed and the wall.
At this time I realized I wanted to do some spell work that night as I felt filled with bright and productive energy, things simply fell in place for me throughout the day it just felt right.
Evening 💫
I like to think of my space and body working with eachother. So I begin my night by reflecting in on myself what does my body need, I cleaned my face, showered and took time to reconfirm I wanted to spend this night awake and working.
I would record your night as I often forget my thoughts no matter how important they seem at the time.
Next day ⛅️
Light a white candle and begin cleaning your room. This may seem like your mom ghost wrote this post, but a deep clean of ones room is the perfect time to reflect, and meditate. Thank the space for the shelter it has provided you in the last year or maybe the things it has witnessed.
I genuinely spend all night cleaning my room and space. Sometimes I will pause to watch a video or listen to music, but most of my night is spent with myself. This may seem intense at first, but I find it opens me up to slow time down and regain control over my own energy.
After finally feeling satisfied with my work or naturally falling asleep, the next day I will throw out the bags or donate what I’m giving away, light an unlit candle for fresh spirit and do whatever tarot spread I find effective, usually I will write a note down during the night. I cleanse my space with a cedar smudge as it’s often used for new houses and apartments to invite in positive energy and I like to think of my room as new after these rituals.
Other Notes 🌎
I’d really love to talk to people about their journeys and ideas with magic. So far most of my information has come from online research and library books, so I’d love to hear from other wiccans and witches! Best of luck to all in the new year. ✨
