2. Listen to or sing hymns or Christian music while working on witchy stuff.
3. If you go to church or another place of worship, you probably get nice community vibes from being there. Channel that sense of community into your tools to charge them. (Though, I still recommend praying before use.)
4. If your place of worship has stained-glass windows, try to sit in the light coming through them. In my experience, it’s a very cleansing and spiritual experience.
5. Create spells based on Bible verses or passages, like a glamour based on Song of Solomon chapter 4, or a spell to be more patient with others based on Matthew 7:5.
6. If you have concerns about whether you can really be both a Christian and a witch, consider the Magi.
This past Christmas season, around the time I was beginning to think about becoming a witch, our interim pastor gave a message discussing the Magi. She pointed out that they were astrologers, and that the word Magic actually comes from the word Magi. They read the stars, and God lead them to His Son. They were shown the way to Jesus through their astrology.
I’m not certain if magic truly exists, though I WANT to believe in it. But I firmly believe, if it DOES exist, it exists because God created it, just as He created the universe and all within it. And I believe that, just like medicinal plants, humans can use magic for good and bad purposes; because that’s how God designed it, giving us the free will to decide how we will use it.
If you’re having a serious issue with debating whether or not you can be a Christian witch, take a break. Pray about it. Maybe God has a plan for you that doesn’t include witchcraft. But, if you’re feeling brief flashes of guilt and wondering if you’re sinning because you have a crystal in your pocket, think about the Magi. God used their astrological practices to lead them to His Son. Who knows what you’ll be led to experience?
I may add to this at some point.
I just gotta say I love and appreciate my deck, he does his best
From a traditional witchcraft standpoint, using historical or traditional spells proves to be powerful and effective. Traditional spells also have energetic umph from years of use. Generally even when using a standard spell, a witch will still add in a personal element to make it their own.
Writing your own spells can be super helpful to understand spell structure and the hows for doing spellwork. However, using tried and true spells is completely valid, and can help if you’re stuck. And you can always adapt spells, especially versatile spells, like knot charms and spellboxes.
It is popular to privilege creating your own spells versus using published spells or traditional charms. But truthfully, there wouldn’t be the popularity all throughout publishing history of standard spells if a lot of people weren’t using them.
We suggest knowing how to do both. Start with standard spells or making adaptations to standard spells if it will help you build experience and confidence writing your own. If your comfort zone is creating your own spells, take that creative thinking and see if it helps you understand the structure and metaphysics behind the spells you find in books. You might discover some techniques you want to try this way.
If you’re in North America, don’t panic if you don’t see tonight’s lunar eclipse. It is not visible to North America this time around. The energy will still be there, even if you can’t see it.
howdy y’all, tonight will be the longest lunar eclipse of the century and I just want to put out some reminders about the eclipse
Do not leave out any items to charge under the eclipse! The eclipse can sever your connection between you and you’re tools
It’s really recommended to only do eclipse specific magic or disconnection magic. Again since the eclipse is a severing it can null spells and other magical work
Since this eclipse is going to be the longest this century it’s going to be incredibly potent, despite being a general rule of thumb only do spells/rituals you feel 100% certain and safe in controlling
Reminder mercury, mars, saturn, neptune, and pluto are in retrograde! Please take this into account while doing your work
The blood moon will also be taking place in Aquarius so anyone with Aquarius in major signs/is Aquarius dominant are definitely going to be affected
If you’re feeling off/sick today,, this dude could be why
