Church Dirt – can be used for blessings, protection, good luck, uncrossings, healing, purification, exorcisms, a peaceful home and to make a space sacred.*
Ash: make from a piece of paper in which you wrote what you want to protect and from what.
Biogenic Sand: made from seashells, bones etc.
Church dirt: simply dirt from a church, It doesn’t matter what kind really, preferably one you have a connection with like you’re grandparents went there or you’ve lived by it for a long time.
Just find a pouch and if it needs to be cleaned I would boil it and recite a small incantation.
Cast a circle around you
Light a candle, white.
Open the bag and begin to sprinkle the ingredients into it
Incantation
“With these herbs
I protect mine home,
With these herbs
Here, no evil shall roam,
As I will, so mote it be.”
Bury the pouch on the property or simply put it in a place it won’t be disturbed.
Witchcraft isn’t always about “connecting with the earth” or those cliche things that some witches will tell you. Witchcraft is incredibly personal, and if your craft is about regaining lost power, taking control of your life, achieving balance, or anything else, really, then that’s your craft. Don’t let anyone tell you that you’re “practicing wrong” or whatever because you’re craft isn’t like theirs.
There is a faint whisper in my head going “if it didn’t come first it isn’t right” when it comes to religions and I wish I could shut it up cause I know it isn’t true. How do I make a valid argument against this voice ?
Don’t force things right now, a lot is changing and with Mercury and Venus shifting retrogrades tomorrow we are in flux. Rest, do what you can when you can and keep loving yourself.
Alright, I get this question a LOT. So I’m actually gonna go a bit more in detail than you probably need, and then link this in my FAQ.
So, you’ve been reading up on a deity, and you’re ready to introduce yourself! The specific details will vary depending on the practice you’re coming from, and the deity you’re approaching, but the basic ideas will (usually) be the same.
Set up a shrine or altar, this can be temporary or something permanent, it’s just a place to introduce yourself. Think of it like setting up for a skype interview with a potential boss. You don’t have to clean the whole house, just the area that they’re gonna be seeing
Invoke the deity. This can be calling their name and asking them to join you. This can be hymns or even just something along the lines of “Okay, okay, so I’m really feeling a bit silly right now but here goes. Um, Deity? I have an offering for you, so yeah, it’d be great if you would receive it.”
Make an offering of some kind. I don’t believe you have to make an offering every time you interact with a deity, but as an introduction, it’s a good way to go, even if you just burn a candle or some incense in their honor.
Tell them why you think they’re awesome. You can list of their epitaphs you know, you can talk about how/why you’re drawn to them, ect… Just kind of let them know why you want to work with them.
You can ask for a sign of their approval, you can make a promise to do this again some time, or even just talk to them. If you do divination you can pull out some tarot cards or whatever you prefer and see if they’re willing to have a conversation.
