What Youll Need:

To Banish and Bind - Curse Jar for Abusers

✨DISCLAIMER - cursing and dark magic is always a controversial topic. If you do not like to practise or read about such things then feel free to ignore this post altogether HOWEVER - I ask that whatever your personal opinion on the matter, you respect the right of each individual to ply their craft according to their OWN morals and not yours ✨

✨This Spell Jar has a threefold purpose - to Bind, to Banish and, if triggered, to Curse✨The spell is designed to lay a powerful compulsion on the target, making them wary and fearful of approaching you✨If they attempt to do so regardless, the Curse will activate and rebound their ill intentions back onto them, sowing bitterness and misfortune through their life✨

THIS IS NOT A HEX, IT IS A CURSE - such spells are designed to be permenant and difficult to break - think very carefully about laying curses on others and decide if the wrongs they have done you truly warrant such a response from you

Although this is a curse, it is generally intended to give those who have been abused and feel afraid or vulnerable an means of defending themselves and exacting a level of justice against their abusers

Ingredients & Tools

A small glass jar with a cork

A taglock (hair, blood, name on paper, object belonging to the target etc)

Rock salt

Chilli

Lemon juice

Onion

Garlic

Black ink

Pen

A red candle

Black cord/yarn

Any crystals or equipment you require to ward and protect yourself (VERY important)

Preparation

✨Cleanse my work area and create a circular shield to protect yourself and your home whilst you work (you may choose to ward yourself)

✨To bolster an energetic shield, mark out a physical circle using yarn (black for protection and banishment) and seal it with a crystal if you have one (you may also choose to use protective sigils for an additional boost)

✨Light the red candle and wrote the name of the abuser on a small slip of paper, wrapping it around a small object of theirs to create your taglock (ignore this if you are using a different kind of taglock - just the name on the paper will work if you have none of their possessions)

✨Fill the jar in this order, focusing on your intention

Rock salt - for protection

Garlic - for banishment

Chilli - for banishment and suffering

Onion - for banishment and sorrow

✨Coat the taglock in wax from the red candle and add it to the jar - mix it all by shaking the jar

✨ Add the lemon juice (for bitterness and suffering) and a drop of the black ink (to bring darkness to their life) and mix again

✨Cork the jar and seal it with the red wax, then bind it with the black cord and seal with more wax

✨It is up to you what you now do with the jar -hide it, bury it or throw it away - but it is advisable to make sure it won’t be found or broken as this could have unexpected and likely unpleasant results✨

Important!

✨Once you have completed your jar it is ESSENTIAL that you cleanse both yourself and your space to remove the residue left by powerful dark magic✨ Use sage, remove or sigils and cleanse your energy, but it is advisable to perform a more thorough and powerful cleansing than you might for a gentler and more positive spell✨

Grounding techniques

Grounding plays an important part in witchcraft. It’s just a fancy way of saying you’re completely aware of your surroundings. For me, a lot of grounding techniques are too boring and I get distracted easily. So here’s a list of grounding techniques I use!

Grab pretty much anything. Notice how it feels. Notice the textures, the sounds it makes as you touch it and move it around. Notice the colors, the smell, maybe it’s taste. 

On both hands, tap each finger to your thumb. Tap your fore finger to your thumb, then your middle finger, ring finger, pinkie, and go back. Make sure you do this on both hands. Using both hands activates both sides of your brain which in turn helps you become more aware.

5, 4, 3, 2, 1. Look around the room. Find 5 things of one color, then 4 of a different color, and so on and so forth. For example, you could find 5 things that are red, 4 things that are green, 3 things that are black, 2 things that are blue, and 1 thing that is purple. 

You can do the same thing but with your senses. 5 things you can see, 4 things you can touch, 3 things you can hear, 2 things you can smell, and 1 thing you can taste.

Hold ice in your hands.

Eat something spicy or sour.

All of these were taught to me by my therapist and can be used by anyone. Feel free to change them up as needed whether it be to make it more witchy or just more comfy for you

You’ve probably heard of runes and you’ve probably seen them throughout popular culture media, - they’re often used in fantasy based television shows and films. It is likely that the runes you have seen are Elder Futhark Runes (old Norse ones - we’ll cover that later) but the ones featured in this post, are Witches Runes. They’re often inscribed on stones or used in rituals.

Crossroads: use if you’re going through a change, have decisions to make or wish to bring about change.

Man: use in magick that deals with men (naturally!), masculinity, or (if you’re religious) the strength of your God(s).

Woman: use in magick that deals (again, naturally!) with women, femininity, or to invoke any Goddesses you have.

The Eye: use in psychic workings or dealings with truth; to reveal deception, for example. Used also in/for protection.

Harvest: use for prosperity and abundance magick, dealings with money or to attract something good to your life.

The Sun: use for growth and happiness, strength and masculinity and for invoking any deities that are associated with the Sun. Use also in protection magick and on Sabbats.

The Moon: femininity and magick. It enhances power and is used in the invocation of deities associated with the Moon and during Esbats.

Flight: higher knowledge and the attraction of something new; success and business ventures - brings about new opportunities.

The Rings: used for binding and attracting new love; it strengthens existing bonds.

Romance: naturally, this attracts new love and/or romance. Used in sex and fertility magick and heals broken hearts.

The Scythe: used to break curses and hexes; removes bad luck and influences and can be used to break or weaken bonds and relationships.

The Star: a wishing rune that, when meditated on, brings about good fortune and good luck.

Waves: symbolizes purity and can be used for forgiveness and healing, as well as the expulsion of bad and negative energies.

Mabon Altar Ideas & Correspondences

Mabon, also known as the Autumn Equinox, marks the midpoint between the summer and winter solstices. It's a time to celebrate the abundance of the harvest season and express gratitude for the blessings of the year. One way to honor this occasion is by setting up a Mabon altar, adorned with items and symbols that resonate with the energy of the season. Here are a few ideas for when you’re putting your altar together.

The Altar Cloth: Choose an altar cloth in rich autumnal colors such as deep red, orange, or brown. These colors represent the changing leaves and the bountiful harvest.

Seasonal Fruits and Vegetables: Incorporate apples, pumpkins, squash, and corn, or any local harvests you have in your area. These are traditional symbols of the harvest and abundance during Mabon.

Candles: Use candles in colors associated with Mabon, such as gold, yellow, orange, or deep red. These represent the changing colors of the land. Alternatively, you could use black and white candles to represent the balance of dark and light on the equinox.

Crystals: Consider placing crystals like citrine, amethyst, or jasper on your altar. These stones resonate with the energies of balance, gratitude, and abundance.

Symbols of Balance: Include items that represent the balance of day and night, such as a yin-yang symbol or two candles, one for the sun and one for the moon.

Leaves and Acorns: Collect fallen leaves and acorns to symbolize the changing season and the promise of new growth in the future.

Chalice and Bread: A chalice filled with wine or cider and a loaf of bread represent the traditional elements of water and earth, symbolizing the harvest's bounty.

Deity Representations: If you work with specific deities in your practice, add representations of them to your altar. Some gods and goddesses associated with Mabon include Demeter, Persephone, and the Green Man.

Mabon Correspondences

Colors: Deep red, orange, yellow, brown, and gold.

Herbs: Sage, marigold, hops, and thistle.

Foods: Apples, grapes, nuts, grains, and root vegetables.

Symbols: Scales, cornucopias, and the autumn wreath.

Activities: Apple picking, making wreaths, offering prayers of gratitude, and sharing a feast with loved ones.

Intentions: Reflect on balance in your life, give thanks for your blessings, and set intentions for the darker months ahead.

May you be blessed with abundance and gratitude.

Tips for lazy witches

We all love our witchcraft but sometimes you’re just too tired to do some certain things so here is a list to help make a busy witches life a little easier.

• too exhausted to make a sigil? Go onto sigilscribe.me and it creates a perfect sigil for you all you need to do is charge it!

• if you wear glasses enchant them so when you wear them when your tired they will help your eyes more

• when casting a circle do it metaphorically instead of lying down crystals, stones, salt etc.

• use music lyrics if you are too tired to create a spell

• want to increase or decrease things? Stir tea clockwise (increase) anti-clockwise (decrease)

• enchant your bed on a good energy day so on a low energy day it may help

• make little pre-made ritual and spell kits/bags so when you need to preform something all your measured ingredients and supplies are already there

* Happy enchanting 🖤✨🌙

It’s that time of year to say no to the Salvation Army.

Never forget they let a Trans woman die instead of helping her.

Never forget they have tossed entire families on the street for having an LGBT child.

Never forget they tell non Christian families that unless they convert they will not help them.

Never forget that the Salvation Army is bigoted and hateful, many of the bell ringers routinely heckle and harass LGBT couples.

Tips for casting spells

Some tips for casting spells that you should remember to get the best results always :)

• be energised, if you have low energy chances are your spell won’t work as well as you’d imagine

• Be happy! Negative energies from you can be transferred into your spells and rub off a bad vibe

• always be confident when doing your spells, make sure you have researched everything you are about to do and you are not afraid of anything as fear is one of the lowest vibrations we feel and can easily attract negative energies and spirits

• be alone, if you live in a house with others who are not witches it’s best to do your spells when you are alone and you know nobody will walk in and disturb you from your work

• always preform spells with pure intentions, as any joking around or showing off could affect your magick or might offend spirits if you are doing spirit magick

* thanks and happy enchanting! 🌙✨
