executive dysfunction often makes you feel totally disempowered and out of control in your own life. i promise, it's okay. you don't have to do everything today. you don't have to write the whole essay, i know that's overwhelming. just open up a new google docs. you don't have to cook the whole meal right now, just slice the bread and set it aside. take it one step at a time. if you have the energy to write one more sentence, to prep one more ingredient, go ahead! even if not, you've set yourself up for better times, you've done something instead of nothing, and you've set yourself a goal that you accomplished. great job!

How I Write Spells
This is my personal method for writing spells; this is not set in stone or the only way to do so. Take this advice with a grain of salt and do what works best for you.
What is a Spell?
A spell is a form of manifesting magick through focusing on your intention and performing an act or series of acts to represent that.
Why Would I Write My Own?
This comes down to personal preference and convenience. You will often find that you need a more specific spell tailored to your needs, and that writing your own holds more power and meaning.
Steps
1. Figure out the goal/purpose/intent.
Brainstorm- What do you want to happen? What fields of your life do you want to affect?
Condense- Cross out the repetitive/redundant points.
Revise- Ensure that the statement is clear and easy to read.
2. Determine what material components are needed (if any).
This can be any mixture of herbs, candles, stones, other objects; anything that assists in the symbolism of your working.
3. Decide if timing is important.
You may choose to do the spell during a specific moon phase, time of day, day of the week, etc.
4. Figure out the wording.
You could call on a spirit or deity, or just speak your intent aloud. Will an incantation be necessary? If so, write it out.

Tea/Coffee Readings
How To
You need to find a cup with a wide brim that’s light in colour, find a wide saucer. Pour in lose tea leaves/coffee (you can buy loose tea leaves or rip open a tea bag) into you cup and add boiling water (Do Not add milk) Drink your tea/coffee while thinking about your question, if you dont like tea/coffee take a few sips. When you are finished drinking take the cup in your dominant hand and place your non-dominant handover the top of your cup. Turn the cup tree times in a clockwise direction. Pour any remaining water down the sink. Place the cup upside down on the saucer or a napkin and turn it clockwise three times, turn the cup over look for the leaves that have taken shapes. When you have finished your reading it is customary to turn your cup over, place your index finger on the base of your cup and make a wish
Meanings
You can twist and turn the cup for new angles to find symbols in your cup, the closer the symbol is to the rim of the cup the sooner it will happen. the further down the longer it will take, tea reading can only predict up to a year. symbols at the bottom of your cup will take almost a whole year to take effect.

Witch Tips 21
1. Schedule your spells
I’ve mentioned before that it’s very helpful to keep a pocket day planner in your grimoire or with it. You don’t have to have one, but if you choose to then it’s a great place to implement this tip. Some spells take multiple days to do, you want to make sure you’ll be able to do it each day. Some spells have to be done in certain moon phases, so be sure to schedule those around in the correct times. Not to mention days, hours, zodiac signs, etc can also have an impact on when you need to perform a spell. Scheduling it helps keep you organized and helps you to remember to do the ones with specific time requirements.
2. Trance gifs can help with meditation
Sometimes it’s really hard to get into a trance when you need to for a spell or when you’re meditating. Find a nice, calming and serene trance GIF to help you get in the zone. Make sure it matches the mood you’re going for.
Bonus: You can find ones with colors that correspond with the spell you’re doing.
3. Sigils don’t have to only effect you
You can create and activate sigils for a multitude of reasons. I mostly see witches use them for their own needs, which of course is 1000% fine, but it’s not the only choice. Put a good luck sigil on the sidewalk so everyone walking over it charges it and benefits from it. Put protection sigils in the dirt around forests to help keep them safe. Draw sigils on or under desks at school to help other people succeed in their exams. You can use your magick to make the world a little bit better.
4. Center yourself after grounding
While not entirely necessary, many witches find it greatly beneficial to center themselves after ground. Centering can realign your emotional waves and connect your body back into itself. This can be as simple as doing some grounding yoga and then meditating afterwards, that’s my preferred method.
5. Make protection amulets out of your protective weapons
I don’t mean to jump from a peaceful, mindful practice right into stabbing bitches, but sometimes that’s just the way it goes. Unfortunately, some of the people in this world can have terrible intentions. If you’re in a place where you feel like you need to carry a knife, pepper spray, knitting needles, etc to protect yourself, take it a step further by charming those objects. Put charms on them to repel ill intentions. Put wards on them to repel negative energy. Protect yourself. I care about your safety and well being.
6. Get some gloves for handling cursed objects
Whether you’re cursing the objects yourself or trying to break the curse that’s already placed on them, you’re going to want some gloves. These can be special gloves you use just for handling cursed objects, or the gloves you use to wash dishes. Either way, be sure to cleanse them with sage smoke or crystals afterwards. You don’t want the negative energy being absorbed into your body. And while sometimes you have to touch things to find out if they’re cursed, it’s still a good idea to put the gloves on afterwards if you continue to work with the object.
7. Be sure the crystal jewelry you wear is water safe
I don’t know if this comes from the fact that I live in a rainy state or because I always forget to take my jewelry off before I shower, but water safe crystals in your jewelry is a must. You wash your hands all the time, you don’t want to accidentally damage your crystal rings. You could get caught in the rain, or sweat a bunch, or jump in a snowbank, or get splashed by a wave, or forget to take them off before a shower or bath. Make sure the crystals you wear on your body are going to be safe with your lifestyle.
8. Bring your grimoire to the library and have a wonderful adventure
Libraries are so much fun!! No one cares if you just sit there for hours and hours and no one is going to bug you about writing notes. They exist for a reason. Who cares if it’s not university that you’re studying for, no ones even going to look twice. Grab as many witchcraft books as you want and write down anything you need in your grimoire. Your BOS is essentially made for this. It’s so nice and peaceful, enjoy.
9. Tips for drying your own herbs
It’s wonderful if you’re able to grow your own herbs! Make sure when you’re drying them for spell work, you’re giving them the best treatment.
Dark areas work best
It must be a dry location or else you risk molding or spoiling the herbs
Hang them upside down with all leaves facing the same direction
Placing them in a breathable or holey paper bag can help catch anything that may fall off due to breakage and help you keep the area clean
Different herbs take different amounts of time to dry. Check on them often to see if they’re ready.
10. Before casting a spell or making a potion ask yourself, “Why?”
I’ve talked a lot before about the importance of clarifying intentions and having a clear head when doing magick. But this time, I’d like to talk about something else that loosely relates to the same topic. I recently saw a potion recipe that was supposed to get rid of scars and my first thought was, “But scars are so cool…” And then I read a little further and saw that it was also supposed to help fade moles and freckles and that really got me thinking. I have two little moles on my neck that look like a vampire bite. I used to hate them because I was taught that moles are ugly, but overtime I learned to actually really like them and genuinely think that they’re cute. Looking at that potion recipe, I began to feel empathy for the people who may see that and write it down and begin the process of ridding their skin of these little “imperfections.” And if you take anything from this tip, I want it to be this: Before doing anything that will effect your body, ask yourself why you’re doing it. Even things you do outside of magical practices. Ask yourself why. And if the answer isn’t overwhelmingly positive, then maybe reconsider what sort of spell or potion you really need to do. Do you need to vanish your scars, or do you need to feel better about your body? Maybe there are other things that will be more effective in aiding you. Just something to consider. I care about your wellbeing and I don’t want anyone to be mean to you, especially not yourself.
Thanks so much for reading my latest #10tips. As always, please send an ask my way whenever you want to say hi or ask me some questions. I’m here to help! Have a magickal day.

Centering 🍀🖼📖
The American Psychological Association defines centering as a method to relieve negative emotions such as anxiety by redirecting one’s attention to the present moment. Simply, it is intentionally becoming more mindful. Centering can be done through focus on the present moment alone or paired with an activity such as breathwork or yoga.
What Really Is The “Center?” 💠
In the physical sense, the center is typically located about two inches below the navel. This is known as one’s center of gravity. Mentally, the mind is quiet with focus on the present moment. Emotions are neutral with an inner calm and acceptance. This state of consciousness is devoid of resistance and reactionary emotions.
Signs You Are Not Centered 🔎
Having a loud inner critic
Unable to maintain focus
Feeling overworked and overwhelmed
Feeling tired early in the day
Feeling stuck
Overwhelmed with anxiety about the past or future
Procrastinating
Being rigid or inflexible
Top 3 Centering Techniques 🔮
These are three methods that anyone can do easily at any time. The most important technique is one that works for you.
1. Breath Awareness
Turn your attention to your breathing pattern without changing anything. Notice the rate and depth of your breath and let all other thoughts slip away.
When you’re ready, take a deep breath in through your nose and expand the air into your belly. Exhale slowly through your mouth. Repeat this as long as you want and feel yourself consciously relax.
2. Become an Observer
Begin by intentionally detaching yourself from your current emotions and thoughts.
Witness your reactions and thoughts from the perspective of an observer. Feel the space created between your current situation and your True Self.
Make note of any changes you experience, and hold this perspective for as long as you are comfortable.
3. Let Go
Visualize all of the current energy in your body flowing into your center and see it growing into a glowing ball or balloon. Imagine all of your negative energy and anything that does not serve you in this balloon.
On an inhale, say, “I let…” On the exhale, say, “…go.” See the balloon drifting away from your body and up into the sky.
Feel the inner calm created when you surrender to letting go. Know that you have now created space to allow good thoughts and emotions to flow.
Activities to Pair with Centering 💎
Yoga
Meditation
Journaling
Breathwork
Grounding
Any creative activity
Walking
When we are centered, we can connect with our intuition and Higher Self leading to a deeper understanding of our life experience.
“Knowing others is intelligence; knowing yourself is true wisdom.
Mastering others is strength; mastering yourself is true power.”
Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching
