My reality shifting spell ingredients list and spell deep dive.
Per request on discord. I'm gonna be putting a list of the herbs that I use for my spells relating to reality shifting as well as going over the ways I perform them
»»---------------> ◇ <---------------««
Tumblr media
»»---------------> ◇ <---------------««
This is going to be a long post Keep that in mind and some of the grammar might be funky.
For the record I am not at all an expert witch So unfortunately I do not have the answers for everything. This is a guide of what I know so far about this spell since it's only like a year and a half old.
Before this begins, I want to preface that I recommend you do your research before adapting any of these spells. Although I call this deep dive I purposefully left out information to make it more consumable for people who are new at this and this would have been a mile long otherwise. Again, I highly recommend you do your own research so you can understand it much better than how I already put it in this post. These signs, you might figure out other things that you can put in the spells.
I also went into more detail on some parts more than others such as the herbs being more detailed than probably the rest of the post.
Good luck and hope this helps ya'll!
The Main Herbs
• Salt
I often use salt as a base for protection. Salt is the first thing I have to put it. Any assault should do, but I often like sea salt and Himalayan salt, but table salt is perfectly fine to use. Black salt may also work in this circumstance.
• Lavender
Lavender is often used as psychic enhancer. Often helping in meditation and dream work. I use it to help reinforce the protection of the salt. It is a very common herb that often aids with dreams. It is also good for cleansing. And anxiety for when you're shifting.
• Rose Petals.
Though often used in love spells, they did have other uses. I use them to add sweetness to this spell as well As to attract self-confidence.
(just to make you feel like THAT MOTHER FUCKING BITCH when shifting)
I most of the time use dried Rose petals. But regular rose petals Should work as well.
You can write runes on them if need be or just leave them as is. As for color, it's your choice. But when I can I choose yellow as to represent travel. I've just been using what I can find, which are pink and red roses.
• Rosemary
Rosemary is also an herb that's known for its protection and dream work. But it also has heavy associations with memory. In the way I use it It's for clarity as well as keeping and ATTRACTING memories from your DRs.
(I found out that last bit the hard way)
• Mint
As for this hurb, I use it for its travel symbolism. It will promote your successful and safe travel. Though it seems its associations with money are more prevalent in the everyday. It is also known for its amazing luck and success. This earth will be very useful with inducean your Successful journey.
• Star Anise
This herb is the main bulk of the spell due to it's various abilities it has for this particular spell. It covers almost all cylinders when it comes to this spell and is known as a Spell enhancer Meaning that it heightens the strength of one spells. It promotes And creates vivid dreams Including Lucid dreams and make it easier to remember them. It can heighten your psychic abilities, clarity, and awareness. Works amazingly with Divination. It can also potentially help with connecting with others from your DRs due to its property of also being able to connect with spirit guides and other such things.(So if you do channeling this should be a major help) It also Provides a lot of protection to boot.
One full star is usually enough, but feel free to add 2 or 3 more.
I'll be providing visual examples Down here V

My Other Ingredients
These are the Thanks I add Regularly to this spell.
• Two Sigil bay leaves
The first Leaf
Skip to The 2nd leaf If you don't work with any Guides Or Entities.
First ask your Ditties or guides that you think you can help with this. If they agree to help you write their sigil on the bay leaf. For example one of the gods I work with is Hecate.
(BUT I DO NOT RECOMMEND DIVING INTO DEITY WORK SO EARLY IN ONE'S PRACTICE!)
Doing deity work is in fact a lot of work. You don't have to work with anyone for this spell.
If you don't already work with any Deities or guides you can just go with the second option which is....
The Second Leaf
For the second bay leaf I write the Shifting symbol on one side and on the other I write.
"I am (Insert DRself Name) and I have shifted to (Insert DR)."
For example...
"I am Vesper Córvido and I have shifted to My hero academia."
After I set up both leaves amd I burn both In a pot, bowl, or bucket To activate them.. It is fine if there are remaining Bits of leaves and I'll explain why later. You can also substitute the bay leaves for paper or rose petals.
(Be safe around fire there are other ways to activate them!) Such as...
Breathing on them.
Speaking intention over them
Anointing oil on them
• Boosting oil
This is optional and you can substitute it for a other things.
I made my own boosting oil that I use with every spell. If you do decide to make it just know that it's a lengthy process. The ingredients for this is.
• Vegetable oil-(But any cooking oil should be fine)
• Lavender
• Coffee grounds
• Mint
And I had it ferment for a month, so all the things would be infused into the oil, and I filtered it out later.
»»---------------> ◇ <---------------««
Ways one can perform the spell
You can potentially do this spell in any way that you can easily do so. The three of these techniques here I did myself Before you do any of these however be sure to protect within your home and around the space that you're making this spell, as well as cleanse your tools and ingredients. There are millions of ways of cleansing that you can look up. I often use incents.
Also, for all of these, I recommend putting on subliminals and/or saying affirmations while performing these.
• Candle spell
For candle spells, I recommend the following colors...

Before you do anything with the candle You can crush up the herbs To prepare for the next steps.
After obtaining your candle (I recommend candlesticks, but T lights or container candles should work), you can carve any sigils, affirmations, or the shifting symbol Into the candle.
After that anoint Your candle with oil and cover it with the herbs Then slightly melt the bottom and stick it to a plate or anything that you're containing this in I'd recommend a plate that you think can withstand heat or Cookie pan. After planting it within the center circle it with salt. I usually contain it within a pentacle.
Then use any leftover herbs that you used to cover the candle and spread it about the circle as well as within it. At the base of the candle sit down the baileys or note. It is optional to have the the leaves burned or not burned beforehand.
After that Light the candle with intention And let it burn. For me during the process of burning I'd like to see how the flame and candle react during the process as a form of divination and possible messages I can use. You never know what you can you just gotta know where to look.
When The candle is done burning You can look around the dish and use divination to see if there's any signs for your journeys or any repeating symbols.
As for disposal you can Contain the herbs for later use or return both the wax Add herbs to nature. But if you're not sure if the wax is plastic based you can contain it for later use.
My notes
1st thing to mention with this It's to be safe around fire. 1st time I did this it went insane and cracked it's candle holder in half. As for results I got a major memory And accidentally went into the void state with that. They'll be story times about both of these at a later date.
• Spell jars
The perks of having a spell jar are having a physical object to carry around with you and meditate on.
You'll need some type of food container like a bottle or in most cases a jar There are places online to get them for cheap or you can go to Craft stores. After cleansing it You can put all your herbs in it. Personally I'd like Lairing them like...
•Salt
•Lavender
•Rose Petals
•Rosemary
•Mint
•Star Anise
Then, take your activated bay leaves or paper and crumple/fold it up It in the jar. And it's at this point that I would put drops of my boosting oil into it. As for the next step Make sure the jar is properly sealed. Then take a candle of your Choosing and light the candle melt the wax unto the jar make sure it's sealed tight.
My notes
Very useful For when you're on a road trip and you're trying to hide it. During Spring vacation A while back I did the julia with this in my hand. My body proceeded to fist like a soda but Before anything else can happen my little brother woke me up.
• Charm bag
Much more beginner friendly and is much less fire intensive With Bay leaves. You can refresh this spell when you need without having to dispose of everything. I You can put items in such as crystals and jewelry that you Want to charm for shifting. For example I put A large clear quartz that looked like it had a lightning Bolt in it.
Take a string pouch. You can also get these online or craft stores. After cleansing it, just pour in each herb, but you can also grind them before this. Then, put your bay leaves or paper into the pouch along with your items that you want to charm. You can meditate over it to activate it. You can also shake it around and mix all the herbs together within the bag.
My notes
This one had the Quickest results the first time I made it. I made it off of a whim I had put in extra star anise Crushing up one and put it in two hole ones and I had only gotten that crystal that day. I had set the bag next to me that night. The result was that very same night Me getting a memory from my DR in a dream And it was the most vivid vision I had ever seen. In fact this is the Koji Kode of memory I was talking about before in one of my last posts.
I'll be linking it here When I posted!

Remember that food offerings are not mandatory and it’s up to the person if they want to. But here’s my advice if you want to but can’t.
You can’t put food on your alter? You’re either closeted or can’t for some other reason? Well you could always take a picture of the food and put the picture on ur digital alter and share the food with ur deity of choice.
(Totally not me sharing a cupcake from my birthday with lord hades and lady Persephone this way 👀)

I know like nothing about witchcraft stuff, but uh what are like the basics? What do you believe, celebrate, worship that kind of stuff
This is such a nice question!!
This will be a long post but I’m not putting it below a cut because I am lazy
So I’m a folk practitioner, which basically means I work with nature and do a lot more mundane things than a lot of other witchcraft/pagan practitioners (ceremonialists, wiccans etc). Folk practitioners through history have been mostly peasants & lower class people as they didn’t have access to rich spices and objects, they had the herbs growing in their yard and what was at the local market.
I am also what is called an “animist” which means I believe basically everything has a spirit. I think everything has energy and we as people can interact with that energy. I don’t know if youve seen doctor who but it’s kinda like this scene
Tumblr media
We can interact with that energy & move it around & stuff!
Im not a big fan of the word aura for this reason because it implies only humans have this energy, when really it’s everything. Thats why witchcraft practitioners use tools! They carry energy we don’t, and we can ask them to help us.
I’ve had insane experiences working with herbs that I can’t describe any other way. Like holding lavender can calm my panic attacks immediately, and how I can feel that some of my favourite trees are happy to see me too when I visit them.
As for the basics, I always advise those wanting to begin to practice any sort of spiritual practice/discipline is to get to know the energy of their home. This will be the easiest thing to start! Does your house feel different with all the windows open? If you light incense or practices any “cleansing” method (sending away energy—can be done after having annoying company, a fight with a loved one, or anytime really) does it feel as though it’s easier to breathe in the space?
I also read tarot, which is my day job and what I hope to continue doing on the side throughout any other careers I hold. Tarot cards are complicated, their history is quite interesting but for now I’ll explain it as a method of communicating with spirits, your unconscious mind, and any other energies around you.
I also feel the need to explain the word energy here, because a lot of people don’t understand what I mean when I say I work with energy. To me, it means the same thing as calling myself a gardener. Plants grow everywhere in nature, but MY garden is something I’ve cultivated and built using tools and seeds to grow what I want. Working with energy feels like this to me.
I work with the energy of my morning coffee or tea to set my intentions for the day—the spices are the “garden” and I am the gardener. The spices all do different things, and I am cultivating them the way I want.
I also do some deity work (I won’t lie I have been lacking recently, as life has gotten very insane and I have not had the time to cultivate the same offerings I would normally want to do) and this is normally with the Irish goddess Brigid. She’s the goddess of poetry, healing, and blacksmithing. She’s quite a lovely deity to work with, but any sort of deity work is not for beginners, and I advise waiting at least a year into your practice as to adjust to the feelings of interacting with different day to day energies (plants, people, spirits etc.) first.
Okay this has been super long and as you can see I love talking about my practice so feel free everyone to send follow up questions

Can someone on the witchy side of tumblr explain why both of my cats viscously attack my protective eye bracelet? Because one of them is the sweetest calmest little stinker in the world and the other is an absolute hellion but BOTH OF THEM absolutely despise my protection bracelet.

your daily Zeus reminder
yes, Zeus has had many children with many goddesses and mortals, no Zeus isn’t a horny bastard or fuckboy or some bad person. gonna quote someone i know on discord, “Zeus was not just sleeping around wildly, He is the father god who had to father children to fulfill His role and to provide those children so They could serve Their own roles “
had a Christian girl (my friend) asking me about Greek gods today. Luckly she was pretty chill but i know some people need the reminder.
I’m not even a Zeus worshiper and this annoys the crap out of me :/
