The Last Of My Cards In The Major Arcana! Yay!

Sigils: How-to’s and Where-to’s

Sigils are little symbols that can channel intent to do spells or help in rituals. I find sigils are very low energy, and good for witches in the broom closet- or however you categorize being a secret witch. Stick these bad boys on the bottom of your shoe, as a doodle in a notebook, on a random sheet of paper, and no one will ever know!

There are several methods for making sigils. I’ll make a post covering each. Today, we’re covering the 1-9 Method! (If there’s an actual name for that pls tell me)

The 1-9 Method!

The 1-9 Method is a method where you assign each letter of the alphabet a number between 1 and 9 to make a sigil.

The first step is to take the alphabet and put it into a chart, with 9 columns, each labeled 1-9, so it’s organized something like this:

Once you get that all finished, pick a word or a phrase; I’m going to use “protection”.

This is where things get a little dicey. Some people say you have to drop all repeat letters. Some say repeats and vowels. I personally view that as garbage; doesn’t mean it isn’t a valid way to make a sigil. I just think that we organized the whole damn alphabet into 9 columns, so we should use the whole damn alphabet! I drop my repeats, so “protection” looks a like this:

Protection = Protecin

After that, we match every letter with its number on the table.

Protecin = 79625395

Now draw a circle. Divide it into 9 pieces, and start with your first number; in my case 7. Find point 7, and move to point 9, then 6, so on and so forth. Here’s how my circle started out versus how it ended:

I tried to include arrows, but it looks a bit confusing……. *sigh*

Hope you all learned something in my post! Have a fabulously magical day! 💜✨✨

I noticed you guys were kinda fascinated with my Silmarilion deck. Maybe some pictures are in order……

There’s a reason this salt dough recipe is the first thing in my grimoire. Very few tools have been quite as versatile as this. I have made offering bowls, a measuring spoon, a deity statue, runes… and I could go on.

Salt dough is wonderful for witchery because you make it yourself, it’s cheap af, you can make it with things you steal from the kitchen while you’re stealing McCormack herbs (don’t lie, you know you’ve done it), and it’s salt based which is like the witchiest of witch things.

The small discs on the page are my latest idea, which is outlined in the second note on the page. I mixed dried herbs into the salt dough, formed discs, let it dry, and now I’ve got these portable little magic herb discs. The ones on the page are basil and powdered sugar for drawing wealth at work. But the possibilities are endless. If you can make an herb sachet or powder, you can probably also make it a salt dough disc.

Witch tip: set these out on a dish to dry by your window to give it all that good sun and moonlight.

New Group Chat

I have a new group chat for witches in need of other witch friends!! Come join the Witch Space!

I’m not sure we should give Sauron a lightsaber….

combine your first real fandom with your current one to create a terrible, terrible au

Shout out to my cousin, a Wiccan, who went to her (much loved and adored) mother’s Christian funeral and delivered a very touching eulogy out of respect for her mother and her beliefs.

And then threw hands with the pastor doing the service, who said that “Not everyone goes to heaven, so just be prepared for that”, and “I don’t know how God will call [great-aunt] to heaven, (she’d been cremated) but I’m sure he’ll figure it out.”

WHILE THE GRIEVING MOTHER AND CHILDREN WERE IN THE FRONT ROW.

He told my cousin, who pointed out that this is a funeral of a much loved woman, and that he should not be saying that to the family, “Oh. Well you’re wrong.”

She tore him a new one. Then she had our ordained grandfather stand up and deliver the rest of the sermon.

So thank you Dea, for putting that man in his place. Your mum was the only one who could defeat my mom at Scrabble. She will be missed.

So if you must know, I’m part Czech. My father was raised in a town split 50/50 Italian and Czech immigrants and their descendants. He married my mum, who was a very impressionable beginner chef, and once she discovered this specific combination of spices from his mum, she put it in most of the food I and my family ate- and I would add that no one banned freaking GARLIC or ONION, or BASIL, which I ALSO used a lot of.

Here’s the combo:

Salt (always)

Black pepper (duh)

Garlic powder

Onion powder

Basil

Paprika- smoked or sweet, it don’t matter, depends on the dish.

There you have it- go get paprika banned at your houses!

PAPRIKA REVOLUTION!!!!!!!

thank you for the pics of your silmarillion deck!! they’re so cute! can i ask how you decided on what messages to put on the oracle cards?

Hey sure! Basically I read that book like seven times and tried to think on their ‘purpose’ in Arda. They were out there for a reason. Some were easy (Manwë, for instance). Some…. I struggled (Melkor). But in the end, they all had lil messages, and they worked.

So I had every intention of being magical yesterday. I really did. But then my sister had an anxiety attack and I was up until 10:25 trying to help her out and I forgot to do the dishes so that was another 10 minutes and I had to scrub a pan, do the laundry, and knock out the last of my homework so I just.. flopped down and slept at 11:15. I will do an anti anxiety spell when I get home, so my sister will feel safe. ☺️

It’s a beautiful chunk of quartz.. smokey white quartz.. it looks like a dragon egg, though.. just a little bit.
