đŽ The Moon goes âWax on, Wan offâ
đŽ White Candles, Clear Quartz, Rosemary and Roses can be a substitute for anything
đŽ Do research on your Deities and Divine beings so you donât accidentally offend them
đŽ Before you start doing spells and rituals, make sure you got bath magick, tea magick, and sigils down pat
đŽ Clockwise is for positive things, such as summonings, and Counter-clockwise is for negative things, such as banishings
đŽ If your ritual/spell/potion goes wrong, Donât Panic. Finish it and make sure to Cleanse and Bless the area strongly afterward. If you are still in doubt or if the problem consists, consult an older or more experienced witch
đŽ Never doubt your own power, you are more powerful than you realize, so be careful!

Sunrise magic
Sunrises hold a special magic to them that you can harness like the magic from the sun or the moon. For water, place it to the East as the sun rises and let the morning rays bless the water.
It has a very delicate and gentle power, but it is amazing.
Newness, new beginnings, new opportunities
Second chances
Peace, calm, relaxing, ease anxiety or depression
Refresh and recharge
If made with birds singing: beauty, healing, happiness, good for the arts
If made when it's foggy: add a layer of mystery (if using it on behalf of someone else it will be like a secret blessing), slowly releases magic (great for spells you want to last a while)
If made when it's windy: stronger, more energy behind it, magic will work faster, a push to something new
Orange sunrise: joy, happiness, safety
Pink: best for spells or potions dealing with yourself, care, love, gentleness
This is some of my favorite water and energy to work with as it's so calm and soft.

When youâve covered all the basics, the next step is to pick some topics and study them in-depth. Take notes, whether they are online or by hand, and find creative ways to incorporate what youâve learned into your practice. With depth of knowledge comes depth of understanding, and that will make you a stronger witch. Here are some ideas/topics to get started:
Mesopotamian magic (especially the role of astrology in Mesopotamia)
Go through each of the Sabbats and write down a summary of how they came about. What is their history, purpose and associated mythology?
Hermeticism and its influence on Western magic
The first recorded spells and incantations (hint: they were in ancient Sumer)
Who was Zoroaster?
John Dee and Enochian magic
Freemasonry
The Golden Dawn
The Salem Witch Trials, and how they affected legislation on, and public perception of, witchcraft
Carl Gustav Jung and his work on the connections between psychology and alchemy
Crystal elixirs
Shadow work
Mythology from a variety of cultures - youâre probably familiar with Zeus and Ra, but how much do you know about Ranginui and Papatuanuku? Knowing a variety of mythologies, whether you follow them or not, can help you better understand the deities you work with.
Other religions! Itâs the same as mythologies - the more you know, the better.
Buddhist philosophy
Reiki
The fae
Botany - if you can, try to research the plants in your region, and devise correspondences for plants you can find in your local area based on their physical or medicinal properties. Just make sure to be mindful of local/native cultures if there are any.
Make a dream journal, and write down whatever you can remember about your dreams (donât worry if itâs hard at first, the more you write them down the better youâll get at remembering). Research possible dream meanings of any dreams that stand out to you!
Astrology, if youâre not already familiar with it. Astrology originated in ancient Mesopotamia as one of the first forms of divination, and as a result is the basis of a lot of magic today.
The natural world. The metaphysical is important but perhaps more so is the world to which it is attached. Iâd recommend watching nature documentaries for this one.
Cover all your bases. If thereâs a witchcraft 101 area that you never fully learned, nowâs the time. Things like grounding, centering, circle casting, meditation, warding, visualisation⌠these are all important foundations that you need before you can try to build on your knowledge.
Agrippa
⢠eat citrus fruits or drink fruit water as an alternative to mints. Fruit, especially sour fruit, promotes salivation, which helps to fight off bacteria in your mouth that causes bad breath. adding some strawberry, lemon, and kiwi slices to a bottle of water is a great way to keep your breath sweet.
⢠Next time you make guacamole, save the pit of the avocado, dry it, and keep it in your purse or on your person. Avocado pits are deeply symbolic of sex, lust, love, and beauty, and can help to attract romance. This symbolism dates back to the ancient aztecs, who named the avocado, âahacatl,â or âgreen testicle.â
⢠Dilute a few drops of pomegranate and rose oil in a teaspoon of coconut oil, and massage this into your neck, chest, and behind your ears as a perfume. The scent is light, seductive, and easy on your partnerâs taste buds when they go in to leave a few hickies. Plus, the coconut oil will leave your skin silky smooth and soft.
⢠Make some DIY jewelry out of wire and river pearl beads. Strings of river pearls can be found at most craft stores; theyâre quite cheap, but just as natural and magical as expensive round pearls. Pearls are associated with beauty and sensuality, as well as corresponding to the moon and Venus. They carry a soft energy that promotes both romantic and sexual activity. Red jasper, rose quartz, and rhodochrosite are also good.
⢠Rosewater. I know so many witches AND non-witches rave over rosewater, but the hype is for good reason. Using rosewater as an astringent facial mist is a refreshing and sensual finishing touch to your date night beauty routine. Rose energy enhances your beauty, and the barely noticeable scent will entice your partner to come a little closer.
⢠strawberries are a natural aphrodisiac. A stick or container of strawberry lip balm can easily be enchanted to make your lips look naturally ravishing with some rose quartz, red jasper, and a pink candle. Bonus points if itâs pink or red tinted.
⢠Body glitter!! I know this isnât everyoneâs cup of tea, but as someone who doesnât often wear makeup, I like to find new and exciting ways to glamourize my look without it. Moisturizing body bars and sprays can be found at stores like lush, (the shimmy shimmy bar is my fave,) or online. You can also make your own with some coconut oil, beeswax, essential and fragrance oils, and skin safe seaweed based glitter. I use body glitter as an extra kick to beauty glamours, and a physical reminder of how magically delicious I look.
Thatâs all I have for now, but if you have any of your own tips please feel free to add on! Much love and good luck to you all đ
