a S E A W I T C H guide

💧 for those wanting to start out with sea witchery

Firstly a knowledge of the ocean and conservation efforts is essential. Basic books on marine life you can find at a library. For the actual magick part, I incorporate a lot of myths and legends into what informs my practice- sirens, mermaids etc.

🐚 pirate lore has helped me a lot as well with understanding the workings of ships and seafaring. Read up on Captain Kidd, Henry Morgan, Stede Bonnet, Calico Jack Rackham, Anne Bonny and Mary Read.

Now you’re probably like- this sounds lame what do old timey violent pirates have to do with sea witchery. You want to IMMERSE yourself in anything ocean themed. You’ll start seeing the imagery and items that will hold power for you- coins (pieces of eight), treasure chests (magick boxes), the idea of the name and figurehead of a ship being magickal, maps as magickal tools, sea shanties.

🐬Write and incorporate your spells into sea shanties and sing them. Listen to David Coffin for inspiration.

🐬Check out mariner’s knots on Pinterest and practice them. Knot magick is powerful and can be used for a lot.

🐬Lastly, collect shells, sand and sea water. Those are your bases for any spells. I like to grind up shells and use the powder. Shells can be used as spell containers or enchanted as charms. Sea water is used for purifying.

🐬Tap into the element of water. It’s ever changing and fluid. Take lots of baths and meditate. Have a dish with salt next to your bath and chuck in a handful as you run it. I’d suggest making a playlist of ocean sounds, harbor bells to play while meditating. (and cannon fire weirdly works for me too, I live in a coastal city where they fire cannons to tell the time a lot like in the olden days)

🐬Get you an oracle deck with mermaids or sea creatures. I love Magical mermaids and dolphins by Doreen Virtue.

🐬 There are a few apps you can get that track the tide. Plan your magick around the high or low tide. High for manifesting, low for banishing. Similarly, the moon pulls the tide so know your moon phases and meanings off by heart.

people are like "if you put crabs in a bucket they can't escape because they keep pulling each other back in, this is called crab bucket mentality and describes why people don't help each other" and never acknowledge that crabs do not naturally occur in buckets, a human with more power had to put them there

Day 3!

I know I have next to no art skills, but I have been wanting to get better. So I wanted to try participating in this years “Inktober” now I realize that there is a lot of badness surrounding the tag now, so I decided to do my own spin on things, since really all it is, is a daily drawing challenge.

Day 1 of Digitober
