Hearth & Home Witchcraft That I've Learned
Tumblr media
One of the biggest things that stands out to me when reading about hearth & home witchery is that everyday items are considered magical. Everyday moments, tasks, and chores as well. Its a beautiful way to live, if you really think about it. Big rituals are great, but as someone who is disabled, they rarely are doable. Here is a list of Hearth & Home Witchcraft Tips that i actually practice.
-Enchant a blanket by embroidering a sigil in the corner and using its color correspondences for your needs. It also helps me feel shielded from negative energy during meditation.
-Play music that makes you feel safe and AT HOME. This is almost like grounding, but also can be cleansing to the environment and especially the listeners. For me, its smooth jazz. The chill sound of the standup bass and the wandering piano notes that always seem to find their way to a comfortable key... its soothing to my soul.
-Talk to and about your home (kindly). So often its easy to complain about your living space. How you wish it looked or functioned differently. The house (in my belief) hears you. Treat it with kindness and gratitude for the shelter it provides. I say thank you to the house spirits and my home every morning.
-Find a convenient home protection ritual to do each month. I say convenient because if you overcomplicate things you'll feel less enthusiastic and less motivated to do it, and might even skip several months.
-Make a home cleansing spray using essential oils mixed with an appropriate amount of moon water. I like using a few drops of lemon, rosemary, lavender, and cinnamon. DO NOT spray this in the vicinity of your pets. I only use this spray in rooms where there arent any animals, to avoid complications with their health.
-Wash your bedding as often as you can and say a short incantation before you put it in the wash. It could go something like this. "I cleanse this bedding of all negative energy, from bad dreams, and from and all stress." Sleep is so important to your sense of safety and wellbeing at home.
-Open the damn windows when you can! Stagnant energy is known for dragging down people's moods. And there's nothing quite as uplifting as fresh air. This provides a healthy flow to your house's energy.
-Don't bring things in your home unless you want to incorporate their energy into your environment. This is something that's often overlooked. I especially advise heavy consideration when it comes to thrifting items and bringing them home. Try practicing sensing the energy of items so you can easily tell whats good to bring home and whats not. Thrifting is great! Im not discouraging it btw.
-Fresh flowers work miracles. Not only do they aesthetically brighten the room, but their correspondences and magical properties apply to the room that they're in. Sunflowers are a great example of a flower that encourages positivity, and are extremely affordable to get lots of them. Roses are a bit more expensive usually, but they invite that loving vibe. And African irises are great for psychic enhancement.
Thats all for this post! Reblog it if you found it helpful, or have any of your own cool practices for hearth & home witchcraft to share!

Protection Candle to cast circles
Tumblr media
Picture from pixabay.com
I have been practicing witchcraft off and on for about 16 years, and in those 16 years I've discovered that I do not have the patience to cast a protective circle with elaborate chants and hand movements every time that I do a spell. So I developed this particular method, which works perfectly for me. And it might work for you as well!
What do we need?
A white candle
Pester and Mortar
Neutral oil (I use almond oil, but olive oil is okay too)
Rosemary (for cleansing and purification)
Lavender (for cleansing and purification)
Mugwort (for protection)
Bay leaf (for purification, protection and to set intention)
Thyme (for banishing)
The process
I like to cleanse my space first before doing any spell work. I light my previous candle if I have one, otherwise I cleanse with sound. For this, I use my bell and ring it thrice.
Add the Rosemary, Lavender, Mugwort and Thyme in your mortar. Grind until the herbs are small.
Take your bay leaf and write your intention down on it.
Add it to your mortar and grind until its small.
Anoint your candle with the oil.
Sprinkle your herb mixture on the candle until it's covered to your satisfaction.
Put the candle in a candle holder and light it whenever you want to do a spell. You can walk a circle with it or just let it burn on your altar. That's completely up to you, what you feel is best.
That is my very easy protection candle, which I use to cast circles with. I usually let it burn on my altar for the duration of my spell work and blow it out when I am done. While working on the candle, I also like to play some music. I make playlists with songs that give me the right vibe; Click here for my protection playlist!
I hope this works for you as it works for me, or inspires you to find your own easy way to protect your space! Blessed Be!

Self-Love Mini Spell
You will need:
Mirror
Rose quartz
Pink candle
Tumblr media
Self-love doesn’t come very easily to some of us. But loving yourself is the stepping stone to a successful relationship. It motivates us to practice positive behavior. Self-love is not falling into self-hatred or shame when we mess up. If you are doubting yourself and need a little self-love boost, try this little spell daily until you truly love yourself inside and out.
Light your pink candle and hold the rose quartz in your dominant hand. Say out loud while looking in the mirror:
Tumblr media
“I love myself fully and unconditionally. I treat myself with love and respect. I make positive choices for myself. As I will it so mote it be.”
Focus on how you feel and will feel when you obtain self-love. Imagine all the positive choices that lie ahead and picture yourself choosing happiness and positivity. When you are done, blow out your candle.
Tumblr media
Good luck, don’t forget you’re beautiful inside and out!

✶*✧Introduction to Spell Sealing✧*✶
Everything must come to an end.
This is an area of spellcraft that doesn’t get a lot of publicity because for most people it just becomes a natural part of the process.  However, if you want to mix up how you do it, try something new, or otherwise let go of the way you were originally taught, this might be a good resource for performing rituals!
What are Sealed Spells?
In the context of magic you usually hear about sealing and binding like binding a person or something from being able to do something.  Here we're talking more like a binding contract.  This is a binding or seal locks in an action or intent.  It is binding in the way an agreement is binding.  You have given it firm parameters that it must follow and you have endeavored to finalize the action.  You have provided certainty, locked in your answer, sealed the deal.  
The benefits of this are inherent in the finality.  You have a set thing that now is much harder to alter and is much harder to waver in its purpose.  This is no longer some multi-purpose object.  It has varitably been christened for this and this alone.  The work to undo it will be just as rigorous as the work to do it in the first place.  A light cleansing of your materials afterwards might not be enough.  You're gonna need the spiritual bleach.
To some extent you might just feel that something needs to be finalized.  If you feel it in your gut like you need something to formally end the working, these are what you might be looking for.
More Common Than You Think
This might be more familiar to you than you would initially think.  Signing your name on something at the end is a common one, but even in a ritual sphere there are many examples.  This is going to be your “so mote it be”, your “Amen”, and your other declarations of finality.  Even purely secular situations often have rituals of finality.  I think you’ll find that when these things are left out, there is sometimes a feeling of the energy hanging in the air.  In a lot of ways it does not feel right.  Whether this is the social convention of signaling to everything and everyone present that the ritual has come to a conclusion, or just to announce you’re finished, there is some power to it.
Types of Seals
There are several different ways to express finality in your workings.  Here are just a few examples.
Shutting the Door and Sealing the Envelope
If your work involves some kind of lid or package, you can physically seal it.  Whether this is corking a jar, sealing with wax, tying a string around something etc.  If this is a possibility it is a good way to finalize a spell.
Written and Spoken Seals
Whether this is through signing something like you might finalize a formal contract or expressing that it is finalized verbally.  A few examples of this are listed above that you may have heard before, but there is really nothing stopping you from making your own.
Kiss Seals
Sealing with a kiss.  Kissing something to finalize has historical precedent and takes no extra tools to complete besides your lips.  Whether this is physically using your lips or the other means, this is one option for a quick seal.  Just don’t kiss poison.
Burning, Burying, and Bestrewing
Few things are more final than destruction.  Once you’ve set the flame, you’ve pretty much confined what you’ve set on fire to that purpose forever.  Burying something in the ground would be another example of this.  Whether you feel the finality is from returning it to the earth, or because you are sealing it in a tomb of soul, this will certainly signal that it is done.  Some feel like things are not complete until they’ve scattered the ashes, in which case throwing something to the wind could be your version of finality.
Whether this is through signing something like you might finalize a formal contract or expressing that it is finalized verbally.  A few examples of this are listed above that you may have heard before, but there is really nothing stopping you from making your own.
Sigil Seals
An extension of the written or spoken seals are sigil seals.  It accomplishes much the same thing, but can be a little more formal.  Some might think this is kind of a stretch, but wax seals, like what might go on a letter, could fall into this category, technically.

Learning to Cook like a Witch: Beyond the Spice Cabinet
One of the greatest witchcraft life hacks known to magickind is the kitchen spice cabinet. You can make a thousand spells just using the same herbs and spices you use for cooking. Yeah, sometimes, you need something a little more difficult to get your hands on, but often, you can find a substitution within the confines of your kitchen.
This is really common advice: Work with what you have. I see more advanced practitioners pointing to the spice aisle all the time.
But I find that we're neglecting something else equally important and useful: the rest of the kitchen.
Why stop at the spice cabinet? Everything in your kitchen, from the tools you cook with to the utensils you eat with to the non-spice/non-herb ingredients in your cabinets and fridge, all of it has purpose. Expand your thinking beyond herbs to food in general. Look to your other shelves, open up your fridge. What do you find, and what can it be used for?
The full version of this post is available on my Ko-Fi for supporters! Tip as low as $1 and get access to early, extended, and exclusive content from me every week. Plus, every bit helps me keep making content regularly!

Strawberries
Tumblr media
Easily one of my favorite foods, strawberries are more than a sweet treat to enjoy. They're also a powerful tool in kitchen magic, with a variety of wonderful uses that includes my strawberry sweet day spell recipe. In this post, we'll go more in-depth into their uses and benefits.
Strawberries are great for multiple things, but their most commonly 'used' properties include invoking success, luck, and good circumstances. However, they are also used in kitchen magic involving love and affection. The leaves are symbols of luck, and they may also ease the pain of pregnancy and childbirth.
Personally, my favorite use of strawberries includes success and luck. Such as my sweet day pancake spell, which uses strawberries to invoke a successful and luckily pleasant day. However, they also make delightful self-love sugar syrup. If you want my recipe for that, let me know!
There's also use for the 'scraps' - strawberry tops. Although completely edible, most people I know tend not to eat them. So, here are a few ways I use strawberry tops.
If you're the kind of person to just slice off the tops with some of the fruit, brew strawberry tea! Boil two cups of water, turn off the heat once it boils, throw in two handfuls of strawberry tops, and let 'em steep for about ten to fifteen minutes. You can add sugar or honey, or even brew some black tea and use the strawberry tops to make strawberry black tea.
Throw in sliced-off tops or the leaves (if you're a leaf-picker like me) into a smoothie. You can't tell the leaves are in there and it's packed full of nutrients and vitamins!
Make strawberry sugar syrup. As stated before, if you want the recipe, let me know and I can make a post!
As always, practice safely, do your research, and of course, blessed be.
Support your local witch on Ko-Fi!

magic with matchsticks
a small discussion about matchsticks in my witchcraft/magic discord server inspired me to make this post, and note the different ways you can use matchsticks in magic/witchcraft!
used (or new) matches can be used in divination, similar to bonethrowing
used (or new) matches can be used to determine if you're cursed by throwing 2 matchsticks into a cup or bowl of water
use match remnants/ashes to make black salt
use matches to represent fire in deity workings, spells, elemental magic, on your altar, etc
matches can be used to speed up spells/spellwork by "lighting a fire under" someone/something
use matches for simple intention spells
light a match and use its smoke for cleansing or banishing
another great masterpost for matchstick magic

Fellow witches and practitioners, I come with a sweet, simple and closet-friendly tip/reminder!
✨You CAN make your altar DIGITAL✨
Let me explain:
For multiple reasons, you may not have an altar and (unlike myself) you don't need to feel bad for not having one set up properly. You can take your preffered game that has furniture placement and make an altar in it. You can also use any drawing medium to create one.
For games, Sims comes first to mind. It is very easy with the Realm of Magic pack to create an altar, but you can also get the base game for free and delve into CC (custom content) and pick basic elements of an altar (cauldron, candles, broom, knife, wand, etc.) but also embelishments. Skyrim has the possibility of making an altar in your own house (altho I am not very sure about it, as it's not my chosen medium). Animal Crossing New Horizon also gives us a plethora of items that we can create an altar with. Bonus points for the portability of a Switch, you can bring your virtual altar with you all the time. I've been experimenting with Genshins' housing system and the posibility of creating an altar in there too, I am sure it can be done.
For drawing, making one in your Book of Shadows could be an amazing addition to it! You can also make it so you can place some items on it, as example crystals or plant-offerings. It doesn't need to be artistically created, just the existence of it is enough. You can use pictures or drawings that others made if that would be easier for you, either printing the picture or putting it into a medium as Goodnotes or a PDF you might have on your phone is also a good solution. You could also make it your desktop/wallpaper if you chose so.
Please note that it may not feel like a real altar, you can't interract with it in the same way you would with a physical altar. Treat it as a mini-altar version, a visualiser that will aid you in your prayer, spell making and meditation. Just having one, be it physical, virtual or paper-based, may bring you some happiness and tune you in with your practices. It's also impostant to state that a lack of altar doesn't make you less of a practitioner! Walking slowly is still walking, it matters more that you enjoy yourself and you find importance in your practice.
Stay safe folks ❤️, blessed be!

I like to make a fresh mint simple syrup to sweeten my herbal teas and other warm beverages.When I want a sweet fruity taste this combination always hits the spot.
2 cups water
1 cup sugar
6 fresh sprigs of peppermint ( u could also use dried peppermint if u don't have fresh..about a teaspoon should do)
Zest from 1 med size orange(lemon will do also if your not a fan of orange.Honestly any fruit too.)
In a small saucepan combine the water and sugar.Heat it over a medium heat and let it simmer and stir occasionally until sugar dissolves.Now add your mint and zest.Bring your mixture to a boil then remove from heat and let it steep about 30 minutes.Strain it and chill it in fridge.Enjoy!
It's also good in alcoholic beverages 😆

Days of the week Cheat-sheet
Tumblr media
Picture from pixabay.com
Every day of the week has its own magical properties. Personally, I like to incorporate those properties into my spell work. Now, I don't always do this. Sometimes when the time feels right, it is right. But more often than not, I will take a glance at the day's correspondences. Since I am probably not the only one doing this, I decided to make a cheat sheet for who ever needs it!
Monday: Psychic ability, peace, dreams, intuition, healing, purity Tuesday: Succes, strength, courage, protection, passion Wednesday: Wisdom, travel, divination, creativity, communication Thursday: Money, prosperity, wealth, joy, abundance, succes Friday: Love, relationships, beauty, fertility, growth, romance Saturday: Cleansing, banish negativity, protection, wisdom Sunday: Succes, strength, spirituality, prosperity, protection, healing
In the future I will make separate posts for each day, going more in depth about the day and its correspondences. But this is a quick cheat-sheet to look at whenever you need it! Blessed Be!
