Libras are an interesting mix. They like the finer things and appreciate beauty, but are often categorized as superficial. They are heavily concerned with justice and fairness, but they are motivated to keep the peace above all — the ultimate people pleasers. To celebrate Libra season, today we have 3 ways to use magic for the Libra witch!
Goal setting is inherently witchy, in my opinion. It’s a way to step into your full power, make big improvements in your life, and create positive change in your world. There are many magical tools you can use to help you with setting goals, but tarot cards are one of the most versatile. Your tarot deck can help you through every aspect of the goal-setting process including getting clarity, creating a plan of action, evaluating outcomes, and asking advice from your higher power.
Multi-day spells are incredibly common in the craft. Everyone has seen a few spells that take 3, 5, or 7 days and sometimes up to as much as a month to complete! While some might assume that these spells are inherently better because of how much extra effort they require, others find themselves skeptical. Are these long, drawn-out spells actually worth the effort? Do they really enhance the effects of your spells?
Everyone’s heard the one about breaking a mirror and bringing bad luck for seven years, but some cultures take it a step further and believe that breaking a mirror doesn’t just mean bad luck, but is an omen for death in the household! It’s said that souls can become trapped in mirrors, and that you can even summon demons and vengeful spirits by calling them forth in mirrors… and then, I guess, be trapped in a bathroom with them. Witches, however, are a little more practical. They use mirrors for scrying, harnessing the power of the sun and moon, divination, banishing, binding, sending baneful magic back to the sender, and protection. In this post, I want to explore some new ways to incorporate mirrors into your magical practice.
It can be a bummer when you put lots of time and energy into a spell only to get zero results. Over time, I learned that in addition to following the instructions for the particular spell, there are a few other factors that go into making an effective spell. One of the best ways to power your spell is to set a strong, clear intention before you begin. From my past experiences, it tends to be that a witch’s intention is a make-or-break factor to any kind of spellwork.
There are a lot of conflicting ideas about hexes and curses in witchcraft, and if you’re uncertain whether or not you want to take that route, there are always banishing spells out there if you just want someone to go away. However, some of us are unlucky enough to know there are times when banishing is just not enough.
Your tarot deck is a tool for divination, spellwork and guidance. Personally, I’ve used tarot cards to help me in all areas of my life—particularly love. Drawing cards and creating love tarot spreads has really helped me stay grounded in my romantic relationships. It doesn’t matter what your relationship status is—tarot cards can help you stay connected to your intuition through all phases of your love life.
Over and over and over again the Wiccan Rede is touted as some universal law that all witches must obey or face some kind of horrific consequence. This rule isn’t universally accepted by witches however and I don’t think it should be. Today we’re going to take a look at why the rede is something that most witches can wholesale ignore.
Raise your hand if you ever shared friendship bracelets as a child? Have you “tied the knot” with your significant other? Or gotten a Celtic knot tattoo, maybe? I know you’ve at least seen one. Because of their simple and beautiful symmetry, knot designs are extremely popular in jewelry and even hairstyles, and many have been adapted into corporate logos. We see knots everywhere, but few realize these pretty shapes have deep magical significance.
I see it all the time. People ignore the mundane solutions to their problems in favor of magic and then nothing ever gets fixed! Instead of talking to their partner about an issue they whip out a spell. Instead of figuring out how to budget properly or asking for that raise they cast a spell. Instead of actually addressing the problems in their life like an adult, they try to magic it away like it was never there. This doesn’t usually work! Here are a few things that you should never, ever rely solely on magic to solve for you.
As witches, we have SO many resources to pull from when we want to feel better. Nature, altars, magical tools, and rituals can all have a positive impact on our personal lives. With magic, we have the power of the universe at our fingertips. While there’s no easy fix for the blues, witches have a special advantage over non-witches. Witchcraft gives us a practical system for taking back our power and raising our vibration.
Did you know that when you create a sigil you are connected to it subconsciously and that makes it more powerful? Many witches online create sigils, then send them off into the world for others to use. But how effective are they for you, since most of the magic is focused on the creation process? Not very. The same can be true for spells. So, how do you take another’s work and make it work for you? How do you customize spells?
One of the biggest struggles for modern witches is maintaining that sense of connection to our craft. Life can be so busy, complicated, and demanding that most of us feel completely out of touch with our magic on a day to day basis. And I don’t think I have to tell you how much this state of disconnection sucks. Today, I’m going to give you a few ways to manage this back and forth swing and bring a little more spiritual connection into your daily life.
You can build a relationship with your deck, learn to understand it, and even ask it for advice like an old friend. Every card holds an answer if you’re brave enough and wise enough to decipher it. Going beyond divination, these cards can be used in spellwork to guide along your intent in marvelous ways — and the closer you are to your deck, the better its magic serves you. While there is much to say about the various historical connections of the Tarot or its prominent place in the whispers and legends of witches and mystics all over the world, today I’m going to keep it simple and focus on which cards will serve you best depending on the spell or magic you want to do.
Road trips are AH-mazing. Windows down. Wind in your hair. Radio blasting. Total freedom. It’s a wonderful way to experience the world. The downside is that there’s always the possibility that something can go wrong, which is why it’s good to sprinkle a little magic into your trip. These spells can be used for added protection, traveling efficiency, divination, and fun.
The most universal form of beauty comes from a certain energy or vibration rather than the brand of makeup or the number of hours spent lifting weights. Though beauty is reflected in someone’s outward appearance, it starts on the inside. I’m not just being cheesy here. Studies have indicated that the more you know someone, the more physically attractive they become. Beauty is highly energetic. So that’s today I’m going to show you how to cultivate the energy of beauty through spells and rituals.
We see magic and spiritual reasoning everywhere. In some cases, this is a very good thing. Being able to identify that a spirit is in your house and making you feel all moody is way better than having no clue what’s going on and just staying moody. In other cases, it’s not so great. We ascribe spiritual and magical significance to things that are really just very mundane occurrences or, even worse, we cover up legitimate problems by wishing it away with some kind of magical reasoning that doesn’t actually help us find a solution. Today we’re going to uncover 5 of the biggest things that aren’t really all that magical.
A jar spell isn’t just a trifle of unfocused ingredients, it’s a bottled spell. You can absolutely put the same effort into making a jar spell as a more traditional spell, and the best part? You can carry it with you anywhere. The spell transforms from something you do once, into a talisman or charm you can keep close for as long as you like. Here are 7 jar spells to help you take full advantage of these awesome tools!
I love using a cauldron in my magic because it connects me to all the witches who came before. When I do a cauldron spell, I feel like I’m calling in an ancient power from long ago. If you’re intrigued about this lovely magical tool, consider bringing a cauldron into your witchy practice. With a little time and patience, using a cauldron can open up new ways of performing spells and experiencing magic!
