Witch Tips 11
Here goes another 10 witch tips. Dont forget to check out the #10tips tag on my blog to see rhe past 100 tips!
1. Paint protection symbols on walls, then paint over them.
If you’re painting the walls in your house by yourself, this is a great way to place sigils or symbols! Simply paint them on, then paint over them in the same color to hide them. Alternatively, you could draw them on with a pencil and then paint over them that way.
2. Watch out for these bad omens
A crow hitting your window
Bread split down the center when baking
Dreaming of walking through muddy water
Or seeing multiple moons
Early blooming of a peach tree
Hearing a whistle outside at night
Broken or cracked picture frames.
3. Draw a hand in your grimoire and label what the different lines mean
This is a tip to help you learn palm reading. Although I’m sure everyone wishes they could have one of those super cool hand statues that have the different lines painted on them, some of us aren’t that lucky. It’s just as good to draw out a hand in your grimoire and label it yourself. This may help you memorize it better.
4. Always check the area out before casting circles in the forest.
I learned this one the hard way. My fellow witch and I were wandering around in the forest late one evening. We’re travelers, so it was our first time in that area of a new town we ventured into. We had been hiking for only a short while before we came to this beautiful clearing. It was surrounded by trees and a few had fallen so it made a great place to set up (we had gone into the woods with the intention of performing a ritual, so all of our supplies were in my backpack) We were right in the middle of a spell when we saw a flashlight pointing our way. Long story short, we hadn’t realized that we were just downhill from a sidewalk that wrapped itself around a nearby playground. The light was a cop who had gotten a tip about two people “burning mysterious substances” AKA sage and incense. I had to explain to a cop that we were witches right in the middle of a ritual. It was awkward, we were awkward, please check out the area if you’re going to perform witchcraft in a forest. Not to mention, you should also do this in case theres any wildlife nearby that may not want the company.
5. You don’t have to call yourself a witch if it makes you uncomfortable.
I use witch as a gender-neutral term. So do many, many other people. My boyfriend is a cismale and he uses the term witch. I’m a cisfemale and I use the term witch. I have another cismale friend who prefers the term “Warlock” although many people refuse to because of the negative connotations surrounding it. I know some people who just call themselves “Magick Beings” because they’re genderqueer. It’s up to you. Please don’t ever feel excluded because I use the word “witch” and not something else. It’s gender neutral, anyone and everyone can be a witch if they so desire.
6. Save your sage ashes
Sage ashes can have many great uses. You could fill a sachet with them for protection, you could sprinkle them around your home, put them in a tiny jar & make it into a necklace, sprinkle them on your doorstep or in your shoes, or about a billion other things. Everything has a use!
7. Bless the objects you carry with you
Bless your phone, bless your wallet, bless your keys, bless your jewelry. Basically, anything you carry with you on an everyday basis should be blessed. It’s not necessary but it’s definitely for the better good! If you’re going to carry something anyways, why not make it more magickal useful for you than it already is?
8. Keep track of your dreams and write down recurring themes and their meanings.
You can do this in a dream journal or in your grimoire. I also recommend getting a book of dream interpretation to aid in this. This can be an easy way to see what your dreams are trying to tell you and to keep track of them. Try doing what your dreams seem to suggest for you and see if the patterns change!
9. If you do curses regularly, get a second cauldron for that.
Like I’ve said many times before, I personally don’t believe any good comes from cursing. That being said, I do believe in every witches right to do what they so desire. Even if that includes things I wouldn’t do. So if you curse, I need you to be as safe as possible. Along with all of the other necessary precautions, it’s a great idea to use a second cauldron for making cursed mixtures or potions. You still need to clean this cauldron drastically after every use, but this is an extra step to take to prevent yourself from getting hurt.
10. Don’t date people who condemn witchcraft
For some people, this may be obvious, but others may need to hear it. You can’t help who your family is, and your acquaintances aren’t always significant enough for their opinions on your craft to matter. But when it comes to partners, please do what’s best for you. Don’t waste your time on people who can’t/won’t accept you for who you are. If you’ve educated your partner on the subject and they still refuse to respect your witchcraft, let them go. They’re not worth your time. This goes for any part of you that matters to you, really. If someone doesn’t like you for you, then they have no business dating you.
Alright, that’s all folks! I’m a little late on this one because I was offline all day yesterday, so I thank you for your patience and for reading this! Remember to message me or send an ask my way whenever you want to. Have a wonderful day, witches!
