*Inspired how Tristran finds his true love by chasing a star* (Ingredients can be added to this spell to make the spell look for a more specific kind of person. if you want to do this, contact me and ill help you)
Needed: – Silver, Blue and Red Candles – glitter (just a little) – a white square of fabric – Moonstone – Garnet – Cinnamon (just a pinch) – Rose petals (if you have them. Fake ones will work as proxy!)
Steps: – lay out your square of fabric in front of you like a diamond. – light your candles – add your rose petals for protection, love, acceptance and Balance – add your Garnet for friendship, happiness, and beauty – add moonstone for the ability to forgive – add cinnamon for success and abundance in relationships – add the glitter to represent the stardust – Say/think: “A star has fell, so ill try this spell, as its no longer time to dwell. I saw the star from up above and so it sparked my love. so help me acquire all that I desire, and in return ill give you Magick. Bring to me, my love to be, this is my only plea.” – blowout your candles, and then tie your white fabric together into a bundle, by tying across and across the other way – leave the bundle alone as long as you want the spell in effect. if you find the love you’re looking for or its just time to deactivate it, unbundle it.

This spell inspired by Heathers The Musical is to make a person confident enough to face their fear(s) despite ANY risks to finish a daunting task(s) (be careful with how you use this spell; feel free to modify it if you’re worried of any potential effects).
Ingredients:
🔥 Locket or container that can be worn as a necklace (needed)
🔥 Cedar pine needles or wood chips
🔥 Celandine
🔥 Ginger
🔥 High John
🔥 Motherwort
🔥 Tobacco
🔥 Witches burr
🔥 Yarrow flower
🔥 Agrimony
🔥 White and black candles (one or two of each color)
For a simple ingredient list, you can use cedar pine needles or wood chips, ginger, yarrow flower, and tobacco.
You can play the song in the background if you wish to.
Take the locket or container and place it in the center or between the candles. If you choose to, you can engrave sigils on the candles. The sigil for confidence can be engraved into the white candle while a sigil for banishing fears can be engraved into the black candle.
Light the candles and place your herbs nearby. Open the container and say, “[Person/I] open(s) [myself/themselves/himself/etc] to the influence of this magic. [Person/I] shall be filled with confidence and determination to succeed and nothing else. No fear, no anxiety, just confidence and the strive for success.” Begin placing the herbs into the container. “I bind these herbs to do my bidding. [Person/I] shall be confident and successful, and feel no fear, no anxiety, no sadness. Only confidence and only determination must I feel. To my will, you are bound.” Close the container. If you want to, you can seal it with wax from the candles. “And so my bidding shall be done. I will it, so it must be!” Wear the charm near your heart when you need confidence and determination.
Despite its name, devil’s shoestrings, there’s nothing satanic
about this root charm—quite the opposite in fact. Devil’s
shoestrings, the roots of the Viburnum species, earned its
name because it allegedly has the power to trip the devil up,
proverbially tying his shoelaces together. Devil’s shoestrings
has an affinity for locating and maintaining employment. Use it to find a job or to improve conditions at the current
one.
Carry it in your pocket
Pin it within your clothing
Carry it in a conjure bag
Attach it to a cord and wear it around your neck

Candles are seen as the most powerful object for witches. If one lights a candle while reciting a chant or prayer for enlightenment, empowerment, and good health is one way to use a candle. One can also ward off negative energy and impart positive energy into one’s life using a candle also.
Historical Uses
Birthdays were the first ritual with candles used. Many believe the practice of wishing and blowing out the candle brought this wish to the gods who would grant it via the smoke.
Candles represent earth (wax), air (smoke), water (melted wax), and fire (flaming wick).
Magical Uses
Always be in the right frame of mind, or the spell will create an opposite effect intended
Allow candle to burn down on its own for most rituals
When the candle has extinguished itself, the spell will be complete
Some rituals and spells may ask for the candle to be extinguished and then re-lit the next day
Never leave a candle unattended
Give decent amounts of time for the candle to burn
Choosing a Candle
Magickally disinfecting your candles before using them is very important, since the energy from those who shipped it may linger on the wax. It is good to make your own candles from scratch for this reason also.
Avoid dipped candles such as white candles dipped into colored wax. Try to find ones solid color throughout
Cleansing Your Candle
Depending upon your preference, you can do a few things to cleanse your candle, such as leaving it outside for a week in the garden to soak up the moon’s rays at night.
For a less time-consuming cleansing, you may anoint your candle, using water and oils prior to the spell or ritual:
Wipe clean with a paper towel, removing all dirt
Prepare a solution of spring water, one teaspoon of sea salt, and warm until the salt dissolves. Allow to cool, and then pour back into the bottle. Keep this in the refrigerator for about a month for use over time.
Intent. Stand in front of your sink, hold the candle in your left hand (nearer to your heart). Be very careful not to wet the wick, and pour a small amount of the sea salt spring water solution over the candle. If using a tea-light candle for quick burn time, remove the candle from its casing before cleansing with the water. Take a fresh paper towel and dry the candle very well and say the following: “This magickal water cleanses thee, with good intent and purity” (Robbins and Bedell, 2017).
Inscribe the candle with a small, sharp knife or thick needle, and scratch your full name and your wish into the wax. It is not important that it be legible, nor the location where inscribed. The words will clout the spell more as the candle burns down.
To anoint your candle, pour some pure vegetable oil into a bowl. This oil is used for most anointing, but if using a spell for health and well-being, you may mix in a few drops of other oils if you wish. Lavender is common for health and well-being spells and will make the magick more intense. Hold the candle in your left hand again and dip the first finger of your right hand into the oil and run it down the candle from top to bottom in a line. If anointing a tea-light, place it back in its casing, dip your finger into the oil, and smear it in a clockwork motion around the top of the candle wax. Say this invocation: “This magickal oil anoints thee, with all things good, magickally” (Robbins and Bedell, 2017). The candle is now cleansed, charged, and ready to be placed in a suitable holder in preparation for the spell you choose.
Rhyming and repetition can help add punch to a spell. A lot of ancient and prewritten spells will rhyme with a poetic fluidity. Repeating the spell will give power to the message each time. The most magickal numbers that represent completion are 7, 9, and 12.
To end the spell, you will need to close the ritual. Choose one of the phrases such as “and so it is” or “the spell is cast” or “so mote it be” before looking upward and saying “thank you.”

inspired by jk rowling’s “Amortentia“, a potion-drink to bring you self love or strengthen love with another
“Amortentia is the most powerful love potion in the world. It is distinctive for its mother-of-pearl sheen, and steam rises from the potion in spirals. Amortentia smells different to each person, according to what attracts them.”
“Simple” is largely a subjective term, but I’ll try to compile a few spells for various intents that require little or easy to acquire ingredients. They may not be perfect for everyone, but yeah.
was inspired by @thehoodwitch‘s new moon in Sagittarius post to create a bath soak to soothe chronic aches, stiff muscles, and stimulate circulation. claim time and space for yourselves tonight, my loves! 🌚💞
healing salts cleansing soak ♐ // good for one hot bath – detoxing, boost magnesium levels, soothe irritated skin
*1c epsom salts *1/4c baking soda *1/4c sea salt *1/3c apple cider vinegar
*essential oil(s) of choice. i used my clary sage and my homemade rosemary oils, recommended to encourage freedom + growth
-bring a kettle of water to boil
-mix all dry ingredients together in a large, non-metallic bowl
-stirring clockwise, add apple cider vinegar and conjure your intentions for this new moon as you feel the cooling sensations of the mixture bubble beneath you
-add boiling water until salts are dissolved, then add mixture to hot bath. soak for at least 30 minutes
-after bath, take some time to rub your favorite lotion/oil over your skin! think about where your body has carried you since the last new moon – thank them accordingly.
*WARNING // you may feel tired or lightheaded after your bath, this is normal for detoxing soaks. please make sure you are adequately hydrated and preferably bathe while someone is home with you!
