A Tip for Secret Witches or Witches with Minimal Supplies
Introduction
When I was first starting out with witchcraft, I didn’t have that many fancy supplies or extravagant herb and crystal selections. Hell, there were times when I was lucky to just have a white candle.
So, being a baby-witch of about 14 years old, I tried to research ways that I could cast all of these cool spells I was finding on the internet without needed to spend the little money I was given from my parents on supplies. And then I was introduced to the Visualization method.
Spells and Ingredients
Now, before I go into the details of it, let’s look at why spells even have ingredients or supplies. Each ingredient or item serves a purpose. They are a catalyst for your energy. They are a way for you to focus your energy. Rosewater, for example, is often used in love spells because people associate roses with love. So, when you use it, your mind (and your intent) basically go “okay, this is going to boost the possibility of drawing in love with this spell, since this ingredient basically means love.” However, people who wash their faces with rosewater or use it as a simple perfume don’t necessarily draw love to themselves. The ingredients aren’t inherently “magical”, the witch provides the magic. The witch is the one who takes the natural power that resides in these ingredients and uses them to their potential.
So, are ingredients truly necessary for a spell? Or can you just will it to happen?
Some witches may not need ingredients at all. They may have mastered bending reality to their whim and will things into happening. And for those witches, good for you! This post probably won’t be very helpful, nor do you need it, if that’s the case.
However, if you’re like most witches who need something to cling to to help make their spell more concrete and tangible, thus making it easier to put into existence, keep reading.
What Does This Have To Do With Visualization?
If a spell calls for certain ingredients, just visualize having them. Imagine having that priceless athame you’ve been coveting. Imagine having piles of quartz, or crystals that may be dangerous to handle in real life. Imagine having any herb that you may need. Imagine any vessel that you may need.
Now, this is definitely pretty tricky to do, and may take some practice, so start out small.
Practice
Imagine a cup resting on a flat surface in front of you. Imagine a jug of water next to it. Take your time to really visualize these items however you want them to look. Then, once you feel confident in that, try picking up the cup and the jug. Physically move and try to touch them. Imagine how they feel. Are they smooth, bumpy, slippery? Does the liquid inside the jug make the outside cool or warm? Which is heavier or harder to lift: the cup or the jug?
Keep practicing this with different objects until you get to a point where you feel you could imagine anything. Now you can cast any spell with any ingredient without the need to break the bank or reveal your secret!
I used this spell for clearing the waters with some people I felt there had been a miscommunication with. You can use this to help ease a conversation that may be difficult, or help open the conversation up to be more honest and true.
Tools & Ingredients:
A yellow candle(white will do as well, something small like a chime candle, or tea light. Even a birthday candle. Depending on how big you want the spell, you can do a pillar candle, but this would be a very in-depth working if you chose to do so.)
Paper & pen
Names & birthdays of all involved
Carving object(knife, toothpick, your nail, etc.)
Anointing oil(olive oil works fine, but I used chamomile for manifesting and peace)
Salt (to absorb negative energy)
Lavender(to bring peace and understanding to the conversation)
Best to preform on a Wednesday, sometime before noon. This isn’t mandatory, just gives the spell a little *oomfph*.
Affirmation:
“Tell me what I need to know
all your feelings out to show
problems between us will be solved
negative energies be dissolved.”
Preforming the spell:
Gather your tools. Cleanse your space. Cast your circle if that’s what you wish.
Write the names and birthdates of all who you will be confronting, including yourself.
Carve a sigil, or words such as “understanding,” or “communication” in your candle, along with the initials of all involved.
Anoint your candle, and dress in lavender. If you cannot dress your candle, sprinkle the salt and lavender in a clockwise circle around your candle.
Set your candle in a holder and recite the affirmation if you wish.
Light your candle, and recite the affirmation as many times as you like.
Let your candle burn down, meditating on how you will approach the conversation, what points you would like to be understood and being open to the other persons feelings and views.
Let the candle burn down, or close it by blowing it out.
You can of course change this as you need, being that no two situations are the same. Do your best to end on a positive feeling, knowing that whatever the situation may be, the outcome will be where you will come to a mutual understanding.
Good luck my friends!
I love this spell – reblogging again since it’s worked so well for me!
