You’ve probably seen a stereotypical fortune teller leaning over a spooky crystal ball, calling out the cryptic images he or she is seeing in the stone. You don’t have to be a professional psychic to experiment with scrying in your spiritual practice though. This form of divination is absolutely accessible to anyone!
After about a year of doing this spread on the first day of each month, I can tell you it’s my absolute favorite spread to use. It gives you incredibly insightful answers by exploring both external and internal factors for decision-making and guidance. Plus, it’s actually not that complicated. I believe if you approach the Celtic Cross Spread with curiosity and playfulness, you can benefit from the answers it can deliver no matter how many years (or days) you’ve been practicing tarot.
There is something inherently magical about flowers. As they grow and blossom, they remind us of the cycles of life, as well as the transformation we all go through as we discover our gifts and step into our power. Here are seven ways to use flowers in your magic.
There are a lot of reasons why your financial abundance spells aren’t working, but there are five in particular that I’ve discovered in myself and that I’ve frequently seen in others. These reasons are all related to your energy and mindset around money.
It’s hard to determine all the contributions witchcraft has made to modern medicine and science because often credit simply wasn’t given to a witch. However, it’s undeniable that modern healers owe a debt to the wise-women who patiently walked out into the forest in the middle of the night to gather herbs, learned exactly how to prepare them, and administered them to patients — with their only intention being to help those in need.
Whether you live near the ocean or travel there on vacation, make sure you take some time between your sandcastle-making and your boogie boarding to perform a spell or two. Such a majestic place will almost certainly give your spells a power as big as the ocean itself. Here are seven spells and rituals that are sure to make your day at the beach magical.
Social media is a controversial topic, particularly in the spiritual community. People say social media is distracting. It causes us to compare our lives to others. It’s addicting. It spreads misinformation. And the list goes on. But there’s another side to this ever-changing internet phenomenon. Despite its flaws, social media can be magical. If you approach it with a witchy mindset and intuitive discernment, you’ll be able to harness its limitless power to elevate your witchcraft.
The spell I’ve designed for Aquarius is meant to bring harmony to your relationships, to be performed when you’re feeling things are a little out of whack. With your dueling natures, Aquarius might find it difficult to achieve an equilibrium between social butterfly and committed partner, so hopefully, this spell will help you center and get back to neutral.
If I collect every witchcraft related item that I own together it all fits into one small basket, with room to spare. More often than not my spells are whispered incantations, hastily drawn sigils or entirely performed in my head. I have spent months of my life thinking I was a bad witch because I never did “real” spells! What I didn’t realize back then was that I WAS doing real spells and I was doing them VERY well because I was managing to produce powerful magical results with NO tools or ingredients. Here are 5 ways for you to do the same.

Ritual baths are a perfect way to relax and reconnect to your magic after a long day, or busy week. You can add all sorts of magical ingredients to your baths such as herbs, flower petals, salt, wine, milk and honey, or oil, but my favorite thing to add to my ritual bath are crystals from my collection. They’re easy to use, once you know how to use them, and you don’t have to worry about cleaning your bathtub after! If you’re curious about how to use crystals in your ritual baths, here are some things you need to know.
Music as a magical medium is nothing new. Witches have long turned to music to not only set the mood but also as part of their craft. Because although candles and incense do a great job of making a ritual feel witchy, music is different. Some say music and the physical effect it has on us is magic unto itself. Not a difficult concept to accept, especially when you think about your favorite song and how it has the ability to make you remember, make you feel, make you get up and dance. This is the spell music casts on all of us.
A lot of people I know have a love/hate relationship with winter and the cold weather it brings. This winter, I’m fortunate to be living in southern California, but I’ve experienced many frigid winters in the midwest. It’s funny—I used to count the days until the temperatures would rise above forty degrees F. But now that I’m in California, I gotta say, I kind of miss it. So for all you witches that are hunkered down with a fleece blanket, watching the snowflakes swirl around outside your window, give these cold weather spells a try.
If you’ve been struggling with the concept of empaths, are unsure if this term applies to you or not, or are feeling like you don’t know how to handle your empathic abilities then this blog post is for you. Today we’re going to take a deep dive into the inner world of the empath.
As you grow into your craft, you’ll learn that witchcraft isn’t a cookie cutter endeavor like school or a random job, with a one-size-fits-all method for success. You develop your own style, you learn what works for you, and you find new ways to practice. I tend to think that the point of most things is to evolve and grow into something better over time. You can create your own personal correspondences based on your experience — not somebody else’s — and in doing this your craft becomes your own. In this post I want to provide you with information so that YOU can decide what these colors mean to you based on your own personality, making your magic more personal and therefore more powerful.
Integrating your craft into your home can be a daunting task. Unless you’re just a stellar housekeeper your home is likely at least a little messy all of the time. Unopened mail might still be sitting on the counter, that pile of laundry that you just didn’t get to this week is still on the floor or maybe you’ve just got a little extra clutter from too many missed spring cleanings. Despite how much these things can make your space feel distinctly un-magical, making your home into a sacred place for yourself can be quite simple.
There’s nothing wrong with keeping your witchcraft to yourself. It’s your personal practice, and it’s really no one’s business but you’re own. That being said, if you want to talk to your non-witchy loved ones about being a witch, here are six tips to help you with this potentially delicate conversation.
I got my gris-gris bag during a rough time in my life. Even though I was applying to jobs all over town, no one was calling back and my bills were bearing down on me like a freight train. Being low on funds was nothing new, but I’d always been able to find a job before. As my desperation kicked in and I started googling how much kidneys were going for these days, my sister suggested we go downtown to the witch shop. Just like that, my gris-gris love story began to unfold.
Magic, being the practical personal development tool that it is, can help you deal with difficult people in a healthy way. This intuitive process will not only help you deal with difficult people, but it could also open up doors for your own personal healing.
Banishing is a basic skill that all witches should cultivate, it’s one of the cornerstones of our practice and often one of the first things we learn as new witches. Whether banishing an unwanted spirit, a person you no longer want in your life or even a situation that you’re sick of being in your life, banishing gives you the power to clear and remove things from your life, giving you the power to control more of your life.
Capricorns are enjoying an ideal moment astrologically. To take advantage of this, I’ve prepared a little magical project for Capricorns who want to enjoy this moment of good fortune for their sign. This can be done before beginning something new, like a job or going back to school. Typically, I write spells and rituals that don’t take much time to perform, but Capricorns are all about going the distance. This magic is meant to tie into your new goal and foster long-term success.
