Mud Season Witchcraft ❄️☀️
So in my state, before we get “Spring”, we get mud season. This is when all the runoff of the melting snow completely drowns the roadside, resulting in huge puddles of mud everywhere, increased traffic, and many, many wet socks. In honor of this oddly early storm that’s not yet ruined my day, I’ve collected a few things from around tumblr to try to combat what’s about to become a waaaay bigger problem than it needs to be:
Safe Travels Spell from @magickspellrequests
Safe Travels Sigil from @thatgayguywitch
This very simple spell to protect one’s car from @visardistofelphame
Safe Travels emoji spell from @emojispells4u
This general use “Strength” sigil from @teapartyforthewitches, ideally sharpied onto your tires or the body of the car
Additional ideas:
sigils for finding a stable path written onto your tires
sigils for clear sight on (or taped to the corner of) the windshield
tokens of protection in the glove box
a generic ward against harm on the body of your car
spelling your shoes to avoid water, or to dry quickly. Could be sigils, but if you aren’t well versed in those, it could be knot work, enchantment, or your specialty
May the roads be clear and may you spend little time on them!
-Blessings!
Quick weather spell
Throw powdered cinnamon out of the window for sunshine and to make rain stop
🌊Seashell Sea Spell🐚
This spell is effective and easy. Try it next time you go to the beach!🏝
Find a shell that sparks joy or aligns with your intention🐚
Hold it in your hand or pocket as you walk along the shore 🏖
Charge the shell with your intention and gratitude💙
As you prepare to leave beach, put the shell in the water as you thank the ocean for bringing your intentions into reality as if they have already happened⚓️
Let me know if you try this and how it works for you! Thank you🤍⛵️
Spell shells!
My coven sisters and I went to a ritual honoring the Goddess Nehalennia yesterday and were asked to bring a small offering. So I decided to try something new: spell shells!
What you need:
🐚 a shell
🐚 herbs and stones
🐚 soy- or beeswax candle
🐚 greaseproof paper
What you do:
- take you shell and place it on the greaseproof paper, hollow side up
- put in your herbs and stones
- melt and poor in your wax
- let cool
And that’s it! You have a cute little pocket spell that you can take with you or leave somewhere as an offering. You can even decorate your shell with runes or sigils to add a bit more magick! 🌙
♡Sea Glass in Magick ♡
While I had gone to the beach with my best friend, a fellow witch who actually introduced me to the craft, I was looking along the sand to see if I discovered any items I could use for future spells. This is how I stumbled upon my first piece of sea glass and felt drawn to bring it home. However, I had never seen magick been done with sea glass and was unsure of how I could use it. So after some research, I discovered some uses for it.
The Elements
When you think about it, sea glass embodies many of the elements. Not only is glass forged by earth and fire, but sea glass is also then worn down by the powerful waves of the sea which can be further worn down depending if the water is salt water. Sea glass can be a good addition to the collection of an elemental witch, or simply to be used in a spell which requires the elements.
Energy
Sea glass holds the strong energy of the ocean within it, being rounded by the waves and experiencing the ocean’s power allows it to be an object of power. With this being noted, sea glass can be considered to be an object worth being used in enchantments and other spells. It is charged with the power of the ocean after all. If you feel that it has lost its charge, bring it back to the ocean to give it back that strong charge it once had.
Please be careful when recharging sea glass in the ocean though, for it can be easily lost if carelessly dealt with. A good idea would be to collect some of the ocean water in a jar and keep it at home to be able to put your sea glass within this jar whenever it needs charging.
Greek God/Goddesses
Amphitrite: Sea goddess and consort of Poseidon; Queen of the sea
Cymopoleia: A daughter of Poseidon and goddess of giant storm waves
Galene: Goddess of calm seas
Poseidon: Olympian god of the sea, king of the sea gods.
Sea glass can be associated with other sea deities of different pantheons as well.
Scrying
Many use sea glass for scrying whether it be looking into the glass itself. Sea glass is associated with the element of water allows for it to be good for intuition and psychic ventures.
Runes
Sea glass is good to be used for a rune set, you can use a sharpie, paint, etc. to mark the runes on them. These runes would be especially good for a sea witch or an elemental witch due to sea glass being associated with the elements of water, earth, and fire.

Orange Chocolate Babka
4 to 5 cups all-purpose or bread flour
1 pkg or 2¼ tsp. instant yeast
1 cup lukewarm water
1 Tbsp. kosher salt
¼ cup honey or sugar
½ cup safflower, canola, grapeseed or other neutral oil
2 eggs
zest of one orange
2 tsp. vanilla extract
Filling:
¾ cup dark chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate
½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
½ cup powdered sugar
⅓ cup cocoa powder
Syrup:
⅓ cup fresh-squeezed orange juice (or the juice of one orange plus enough water to make ⅓ cup)
6 Tbsp. sugar
Whisk one cup of the flour with the yeast and stir in the hot water until combined. Cover with plastic wrap or a dish towel and let rise about 45 minutes or until puffy and bubbly.
Directly into the bowl, add the salt, honey (or sugar), oil, eggs, zest and vanilla. Stir with a spatula or spoon until well mixed, then add the remaining four cups of flour. Stir with a spoon until dough forms a sticky mass. Turn dough onto lightly floured work surface and knead for just a few minutes, until dough becomes smooth. Transfer to a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with dish towel or plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm spot until doubled in bulk, one to two hours or longer depending on the temperature of your kitchen.
Make the filling: Melt butter and chocolate together until smooth — you can do this in the microwave at 30 second intervals or in a saucepan. Stir in powdered sugar and cocoa until smooth.
Punch down dough and divide into two equal parts. Using a rolling pin, roll one half into a rectangle about 10- to 11-inches in width by 14- to 16-inches in length. Spread half of filling over top leaving ½-inch border all the way around. Starting from the short end, roll into a tight coil. To help keep coil bound, I wrap it in parchment paper and transfer it to a rimmed baking sheet. Repeat with remaining dough and filling.
If you are not refrigerating rolled dough overnight, transfer loaves to freezer to chill for 15 minutes — this was a Smitten Kitchen tip, which makes cutting and shaping the rolls easier. Meanwhile, coat two 9-by-4-inch loaf pans and one small vessel — I use a mini loaf pan — with butter.
Place logs onto a large cutting board and remove parchment paper. Line each loaf pan with the parchment paper, folding as needed to make it fit the pan. Trim last inch (or less) off each log. Cut the logs in half lengthwise and lay them next to each other cut sides up. Lift one half over the other and twist each around the other — see photos for guidance. Transfer the twist as best as you can into the prepared loaf pan. Repeat with remaining two halves. Nestle trimmed ends into small vessel. Cover pans with plastic wrap and let rise 1 to 1½ hours at room temperature or until dough has risen and is filling the pan.
Heat oven to 375°F. Remove plastic wrap, place loaf pans on a sheet pan and bake on the middle rack of your oven. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes. Check the mini pan around 20 minutes — it will be done before the others. If the loaves are browning too quickly, cover them with foil.
While babkas are baking, make syrup: Place orange juice/water and sugar in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer until sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and set aside. Remove babkas from oven, brush some of the syrup over the small pan, then pour half of the remaining syrup evenly over each of the loaves. Let loaves cool completely in loaf pan if you are able to refrain, otherwise 15 minutes or so should do it.
