Grounding is a vital part of learning to practice magic. The term comes from the practice of grounding an electrical circuit. Essentially if an object is negatively charged, grounding allows excess electrons to flow from the object into the earth, and if an object is positively charged, electrons flow from the earth into the object. It’s a method of balancing and equalizing the flow of energy.

Similarly, in witchcraft, grounding is the practice of balancing personal energies. Many things can pull us out of balance, emotional turmoil, illness, performing rituals or spells, astral travel, even simple things from our day to day lives can create a state of too much personal energy or too little personal energy.

Sometimes, your magic will bring you a lesson rather than bringing you the actual thing that you have cast the spell for.

And when we're not aware that that is a process that is happening in our magic, we can feel like our magic has screwed up, or like our magic is actively trying to work against us.

But that is generally not the case.

How To Make Your Home a Magical Sanctuary
Integrating your craft into your home can be a daunting task. Unless you’re just a stellar housekeeper your home is likely at least a little messy all of the time. Unopened mail might still be sitting on the counter, that pile of laundry that you just didn’t get to this week is still on the floor, or maybe you’ve just got a little extra clutter from too many missed spring cleanings. Despite how much these things can make your space feel distinctly un-magical, making your home into a sacred…

Many experienced witches find themselves constantly running up against the confines of other peoples spells. Perhaps you’re never able to find the spell that’s just right, that feels tailored to your purpose. Or maybe you’ve become very comfortable working with your personal set of tools and ingredients but spells regularly call for things that you don’t have while underutilizing those items that you’ve so carefully curated for your craft. When this happens, it's time to write your own spells!

Rosemary is a well-loved herb in witchcraft and there is a reason for this.

This spell is not designed to be used on a particular person though you could adjust it if you have someone in mind. What you’re trying to do is change your personal energy in such a way that allows any love that already exists for you to grow and increase. This spell is less about creating or forcing love and more about priming yourself to receive all of the love you possibly can.

New witches often come to me confused because of the sheer number of directions that they could take their craft. How is anyone supposed to get their start in the craft when they have NO IDEA what direction they want to go in? Or what if they have more than one kind of witchcraft that interests them? How do they choose?!

Knots are an incredibly versatile tool to use in your spells. They allow you to cast powerful spells with pretty much anything you can tie in a knot. These spells can range from something as simple as tying your shoes or braiding your hair to complex and beautiful knotted crafts. Some people will tell you that things like the material or colors that you choose heavily impact your magic but really, these things are only helpful if they speak to you.

One of my specialties as a witch has always been curse breaking and spell reversal. Spell reversal is used to reflect spells, hexes and curses that are placed on you back onto their original caster. This method can be far simpler than trying to break a spell! Working with the momentum of the magic takes far less energy than trying to stop that momentum altogether. Should you ever suspect that another witch is tampering with your life it’s always best to know how to remedy the situation.

When I first learned about modern witchcraft, I was surprised to discover that witches actually used cauldrons. From that moment on, I knew I needed to get my hands on one. Granted, modern cauldrons don’t always look the like those big, black, cast-iron pots filled with a bubbling brew like in the movies, but the modern cauldron is still definitely reminiscent of the witches of the past. 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!
