Your spells can be single lines or words. Your sigils can be simple shapes. You dont have to have extravagant spells or rituals to be a witch. Simply thinking things can put things into action. You are powerful no matter how you practice. You. Are. Amazing.
I opened up an etsy shop earlier this year, but life had me incredibly busy, and I had almost no time to promote it. So, in honor of my etsy shop, I’m doing this giveaway.
The winner can pick two pendants from my shop!These are the options:
These are some common reasons why wards, even powerful ones, fail at times. I have noticed these over the years, through my mistakes and others.
…The Ceiling. Did you remember to ward your ceiling? It doesn’t matter how powerful the walls are if an entity can just jump over it.
…The Floor. Also doesn’t matter how strong the walls are if the entity can just dig under it.
A Circle Doesn’t Fit Into A Square: Does the shape of the ward match the room you are in? While a circle is the most stable when standalone, not clinging to anything else, it’s still weaker than something tied to something physical- such as the walls, floors, and ceilings of your space. Thus, even the best spherical ward will still fade out much quicker than something tied to the physical structure of your house. Additionally, having a circle in your (most likely) square-ish shaped room will leave certain corners without protection; you want the intruder to be kept out of your house in the first place, not just certain parts of it.
The Corners, Edges, Etc: Building on the previous point, even when the ward is tied to the physical structure of the house, many people don’t pay attention to the corners or edges where the ward bends- this is often where the ward is usually weakest. You want to double check that the ward is solid on those portions and maybe even visualize something tougher holding it together there, as the bending usually makes it more fragile near those certain points.
So, for witchcraft, you want to collect rain water. You are taking a step in the right direction! From my own experience and observations, here are some tips
Use a shallow vessel. Yes, it would look so much cuter to use a mason jar or some other cute jar but tbh, rain doesn’t fall straight down, it falls at an angle and the higher neck the vessel you use, the less rain you collect. Nope, a shallow bowl or even plate is better. That said on the other end of the spectrum, don’t use an actual plate since the rain will just plink off the plate and not pool in it. Best bet: use a tupperware or a plastic bowl to collect it then move it over to your jar or container of choice.
Do not collect under a tree or awning. I tried to collect storm water and had the brilliant idea of just going to the common area of my apartment [it’s open air] to collect water. Yes, I collected a lot but it was pretty dirty with leaves and rocks and other bullshit I wasn’t trying to collect. Contrast today I stayed in my apartment and opened a window – clean clear water. Unless you want dirt and sediment and tree shit in your water, either open a window and collect there or grab an umbrella and walk outside.
Mind the energy you are collecting. I knew when I was collecting rainwater a few weeks ago during Hurricane Irma that the water would be charged with high emotions and that was fine since I was using it with a highly emotional spell [which worked btw]. Know what the energy is behind the water – is it water after a drought? A devastating flood? Simple rain? Think of the emotions attached to the water and what you are using it for.
That’s all for now and happy water collecting, witches!
