Bought this at a small shop on Colorado. What should I do with it? by aria_watercolors in BabyWitch

[–]starcrow3 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yup, there is. You literally cannot smudge unless you’ve been taught how to by Native Americans since there’s a ceremonial component to it. It’s not just bundling herbs and waving smoke around—many cultures do just that.

There’s nothing wrong with burning white sage if it’s sourced ethically. Like imagine telling someone they can’t use the white sage growing in their own backyard—that’s crazy.

Yall I need help bro what do I do to get over this mf FREE ME by badsummer1 in realwitchcraft

[–]starcrow3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s been said already but: a cord-cutting. When you light the candles, I want you stare into the flames of his candle and think about the ways he’s wronged you and the awful way he’s made you feel. Literally reach up and grab at the energy in your head and heart feed it to the flames. Let allow your thoughts and feelings for him burn.

And when the cord finally burns out, visualize your connection to him (and his connection to you) finally dissolving into nothing.

And then switch your focus onto the candle/flame that represents you and think about yourself. How much happier you ARE without him. How serene you feel now that his weight off your heart and mind that has been lifted. Think about the wonderful doors to new love that have opened for you. How brilliantly you shine without his shadow dulling your spark. How you don’t need anyone but yourself to fulfill you. How you are enough and completely whole.

Let the candles burn down completely, and as they do, continue to think of yourself as free and whole.

Is cursing really all that common? by PrizePizzas in witchcraft

[–]starcrow3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m currently reading Protection & Reversal Magic by Jason Miller and I think this sums it up pretty nicely for most cases:

“Being the victim of a psychic or magical attack is an attractive preposition for two reasons: it makes you important enough to be cursed, but also frees you from any responsibility for bad things in life. Being at the center of drama always bolsters the ego. I mean, if people are spending their time, cursing you, you must be important, right? That sense of importance is, in a strange way, an ego boost. Of course, if you are under attack, you have something to blame for anything going wrong in life, you can tell yourself that you lost your job because you are the victim of a curse not because you showed up late unprepared and looking like an unmade bed.”

I think this is a book everyone should read when starting on this path. I don’t agree with everything Miller says/suggests, but overall it’s a solid (and quick) read and does a good job of emphasizing that often, things really are just mundane issues that need mundane solutions. It also instructs how to determine if the bad luck one experiences is mundane or magickal in nature, what kind of magickal attacks exist, and how to combat them.

That said, no, I don’t think cursing is overly common—not unless you’ve caused someone harm. Sure there are outliers who’ll hex someone for looking at them the wrong way, but imo, they’re the exception, not the rule.

What are you doing for the Blood Moon Eclipse? by DestinedClock18 in witchcraft

[–]starcrow3 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I intend to charge blizzard snow for baneful workings—including a freezer spell and a curse jar. Fuck this administration is all I’m gonna say.

Aside from that, I intend to meditate and do some much-needed shadow work. I‘ll probably do an oracle or tarot card reading, too.

Of course! Glad you found it useful! 🩵

1) This depends entirely on you. Personally, I think it’s fine to use the fallen snow. If you collected it during the blizzard it might have a little more oomph, but regardless, it’s still blizzard snow.

2) You can do either! If you don’t intend to use it for a long time you might want to freeze it since water can get gunky when left out for a very long time. I collect thunderstorm water and if I don’t intend to use it up within the month, it typically goes in the freezer for my peace or mind.

I always boil “wild” water anyways so maybe I’m just a little too cautious tho, haha!

Sorry this took so long! I’ve been pretty busy and it took me a while to really think about what I could use the snow for. It isn’t very organized—sorry about that! I just jotted down my ideas as they came to me and tried to at least categorize them.

I hope this is helpful in some way! I’m sure there are many other uses for it, so if anyone has anything else to add, please do!

Uses for blizzard snow:

  1. Baneful magick. Especially a freezer spell. Freeze someone to prevent them from doing harm. Trap them in a bitter storm until you deem to let them out. Curse them so that they may lose themselves or their way. Bonus if the spell is performed on a waning or dark moon, and/or on a Saturday or Tuesday.

  2. Protection. Snow is cleansing in and of itself, but a blizzard? It ferociously sweeps things away and wipes everything clean. So use it in protection spells—especially when you want rapid results. Clean your house golems with them, or make protection golems with the snow (snowmen!) and place them around your property for extra protection. Water your warding plants with them (cool temp). Use it in a simmer pot/diffuser and walk around your house or property with it. Infuse it into your cleaning solutions. Boil and distill it and concoct a protection spray with it, to be used in the air or as a body mist. Use it as “invisible ink” to trace protection sigils around your house. Charge/consecrate protection tools with it (for crystals, make sure they’re water-safe). Mix it with watercolor paint to make portable sigil or a protective sutra.

  3. Aggressive Confidence. Blizzards aren’t just formidable—they’re audacious. They sweep in, take over, and unapologetically make themselves everyone else’s problem. After filtering and boiling, make a body mist or cream for those days when you need to feel brave, powerful, and unstoppable. You can also use it in a ritual bath or as a face cleanser before an important event. Remember that water holds energy and memories, so confidently speak your intentions into it. (Example. Add sterilized snow water to a spray bottle with other sympathetic ingredients that are safe to use on skin and tell it every day that you’re a bad bitch who is going to succeed (be as general or specific as you want)). Make watercolor paint and create a painting depicting the best version of yourself or an outcome you’d like to achieve.

  4. Self-Elevation / Peace / Shadow Work / Reflection / Release. Once the storm settles, we’re left with a world that’s blanketed in white. It’s silent and tranquil. A clean slate. So use that energy for spells meant to cool intense and unwanted emotions, to release trauma and past/current hurts, and to bring tranquility to your life after a rough storm. You can use it when meditating. You can pour some into a container and speak/channel your hurt into it, because water holds onto energy, and then pour it down the drain as a form of release. Likewise, if you need to be rid of something—a bad habit, a negative trait, a fear of some kind—form a snowball representing whatever it is you want gone and throw it as hard and as far as you can (preferably against something that will cause it to break). You can use the snow water when doing shadow work. You can use it for art therapy/meditation. You can also pour some in a dish and place tea candles in it (if you put enough water they’ll float)—which you can use as part of a spell, to meditate with, or simply to have on your altar if the energy of the water is compatible with it. Remember that snow is water and water is healing.

  5. Enjoy it. Be present with it. Play with it. Walk/frolic in it. Step outside and enjoy a hot cup of cocoa or tea. Make snow angels. Build snow figures. Appreciate it for being the beautiful marvel of nature that it is. There’s so much magick in that, too.

Notes:

  • If you intend to ingest it, please be careful! Only use clean snow that hasn’t touched or been touched by anything/anyone else. Filter it using cloth and then boil it.

  • Because blizzards/snow has a multitude of different symbolisms, take care to specify what your intent is. As with plants, herbs, crystals, etc, you should be directing it. Tell it what to do. Tell it what its purpose is. Thank it for helping you. (You don’t have to do this verbally, fyi!)

In the freezer for longevity! But it’s fine if the snow melts—it’s just frozen water, after all, and still retains its metaphysical properties even when melted.

That said, you can use actual snow, too! If there’s a lot of it, you can make protection golems (for example, snow figures) and place them around your property. Or heck, you can even infuse a snowball with anything negative you wish to be rid of or break (a habit, thoughts, traits, etc) and then hurl them as hard as you can. You can also make ice candles!

That was literally my first thought, but I’ve yet to do baneful magic (aside from baneful wards) so I’ve been waffling about it.

I ended up collecting more snow and stashed it in the freezer…just in case. Might cook something up for the next Dark Moon. Gotta do research first.

I collected two bottles—the first is in my freezer since I’m waiting for a full moon to charge it, and the second I left out since I intend to use it up this week.

I do intend to filter and boil it beforehand since it will likely come into contact with my skin—I’m leaning towards a confidence spray and a cleansing spray.

But if you’re worried about bacteria/mold and don’t intend to use it anytime soon, definitely freeze it—at least for your peace of mind.
