The Lemon Hex

For when someone has REALLY done you dirty and you just need a quick and powerful burst of baneful energy. This one is powerful, fast-acting, and short-lived, by nature it can really f a person up and can't be undone/reversed once you've cast it. As always, practice responsibly and be safe!

What You Need

  • A lemon (naturally.)
  • A knife to help handle said lemon
  • A leaf or piece of paper with your target's name/identifying info on it (taglock)
  • Ginger/Cayenne Pepper to help empower/speed up the spell. Both preferred, but just one can do.
  • Salt/Black Pepper, good baseline ingredients for most hexes
  • Anything nasty or spicy you can think of. Hot sauces/peppers, old vegetable juices, lint/dust, dish scum, you name it.

Important note: This is not a spell you want to use needles, nails, or other hard things in. Keep it soft and organic if you can. You'll see why.

Steps

  • Throughout all of this, I find hexes to be a good opportunity to speak your mind, let the target know exactly how they fucked up and how this is the consequence of their actions.
  • Prepare your taglock and cut an opening in your lemon. Give it some room in the middle.
  • Roll up or stuff the taglock inside the lemon alongside all of the other ingredients. Be sure to add the ginger and cayenne for best results.
  • Once it's all in there, give it a little roll/squeeze to make sure those lemon juices permeate all the nasty insides. Let the citrus sting and the spices burn, let the grossness reflect the grossness they've wrought on your own life being sent back.
  • Chop the whole thing into pieces in preparation for the next step.
  • Once you're ready, chuck it into the garbage disposal.
  • If you don't have a garbage disposal, a blender with some liquid should work too. You could even continue using nasties like lemon or pickle juice.
  • Your lemon is now ground up and liquefied. Dispose of the remains down the sink or however you please.

Magickal Misconceptions

There are so many types of magick and along with them, so many types of witches! Learning from other witches is a wonderful way to make friends and immerse yourself into witch craft.

Sadly though, things get mixed up or lost in translation, so I asked some of my witchy friends to help me come up with some misconceptions about magick and witchcraft. Feel free to add anything!

Misconceptions about Witches:

  • Witches don't worship the devil. In fact, most witches have no involvement with the biblical devil. (a lot of witches don't even believe in the biblical devil tbh) That being said, there are certainly some witches who do.
  • Witches are not evil. Some of the nicest people I've ever met are witches. Even before I started practicing, most of the witches I met were sweethearts. That being said, witches are still human so there are 100% some mean witches out there. Steer clear of them, we do not claim them.
  • Witches are not inherently wiccan. Wicca is a religion started by Gerald Gardner in the 1900s. The religion has branched off and created different types of Wicca since it's creation.
  • Witches aren't strictly female. Without going too deep down the rabbit hole of gender, just know that male and nonbinary witches exist and are just as magickal as female witches.
  • Not all witches deal with spirits/ghosts/other worldly beings. You don't need to deal with any other worldly existence to be a witch. If you just want to use earthly items like herbs and stones and never touch spirit work then that is totally fine.
  • Not every witch follows the wheel of the year. That is a neopagan creation, melding Celtic and Anglo-Saxon holidays. There is no right or wrong to this fact. So long as you're honoring these holidays by learning their origins you are doing great.
  • You don't have to sell your soul to be a witch. That's it, that's the end of the fact.

Misconceptions about Witchcraft:

  • You don't need every single item in a spell book to make a spell happen. I am a college student so obviously I don't have the money to buy every herb and rock I want. (though that'd be nice) But the idea that you need all of these things to create magick is wrong. Ultimately it is your willpower and intent that will create magick.
  • Smudging is not smoke cleansing. Smudging is a specific ritual used in some Native American cultures. Smoke cleansing is using a bundle of herbs or even an incense to create some smoke and use that to cleanse an area, person, or object.
  • Magick isn't free, in the sense that spells don't suddenly make things appear or make things be how you want them to be. If you don't put any work into whatever it is that you've done a spell for then it's not going to manifest.
  • Your practice will be different from others and that's ok. Witchcraft is a very personal thing. You're more than welcome to learn from other witches and teach other witches but just know that it's ok if people practice differently from you.
  • Pop culture magick isn't "fake magick". This one is more of an opinion but I think ragging on pop culture magick is distasteful. Magick now, even if you try your best to be as close to ancient rituals and magick as possible, is different than how it used to be. Magick evolves with magick users.

That's all that I can think of right off the top of my head, but feel free to add to this! If you would like clarification on any of these let me know either by replying to this or sending me an ask.

Have a wonderful day!

Samhain Incense Blend

I wasn’t satisfied with what I could find, so I put together a blend. I’ve listed the properties I meant to invoke with each ingredient.

2 parts Rosemary (remembrance) 2 parts Sandalwood (spirituality) 1 part Coriander (health and healing for the new year) 1 part Frankincense (protection) 2 pieces of dried apple peel (optional. Meant to be an offering to the spirits)

Blend well and burn during Samhain rituals/activities.

Stovetop Incense for Samhain

Stovetop Incense, sometimes called stovetop potpourri outside of magic circles, is a mixture of ingredients with a liquid base, simmered on the stove in a pan to fill the air with a lovely aroma. This recipe is intended to be simmered all day during Samhain to invite benevolent spirits into the home. 

Ingredients: 

  • 1 to 2 inches of water
  • 1 apple, cut into slices
  • 3 cinnamon sticks
  • 5 rosemary sprigs
  • 1 teaspoon of whole cloves
  • few dashes of allspice
  • 2 bay leaves, crushed
  • optional: ¾ cup of wine or shot of dark liquor 

Add water to pan and turn burner to medium-high. Add each ingredient while thinking of loved ones who have passed. Stir the mixture clockwise, asking for peaceful spirits to come into your home for the holiday. Wait until the water simmers, then turn down heat to medium. Stir periodically throughout the day, adding more water when necessary.

Samhain Sleep Sachet

Since it’s Samhain and the veil between worlds is so thin, I decided to make myself a little sachet for protection, banishment, and dream work.

Stones:

  • Tektite: Astral travel, lucid dreaming, communication with spirits, helps deter negative entities.
  • Jet: Protection while sleeping, astral projection, purification. Clears the aura of impure energies.
  • Obsidian: Grounding, protection, shielding. 
  • Hematite: Absorbs negative energies, protective, grounding. 
  • Onyx: Protection, encouragement, strength. Absorbs and transforms negative energy.

Put the stones in a small pouch or sachet and pass it through smoke to cleanse it. Keep the pouch in your pillowcase or under your pillow for protection and grounding.

Good morning, sinners.

Just a slip of a note to inform the new and remind the patient thus:

I am a witch. I am not Wiccan.

I do witchcraft. It is not my religion.

As such, I remind you that you are free to curate your dash according to your tastes and whims.

Bad Energy Banishing Spell

I’m giving y’all an unprompted post and my missing Havamal post because this week has been a mess of sorts.

Such as why I am writing this spell now. Storytime: SKIP TO THE READ BELOW FOR THE SPELL.

Recently I had a visitor. One of those visitors that you don’t really want in your place but you have an obligation to have them there. This person doesn’t really bring good energy into my home and it leaves me in a bad mood after. So I’m writing this spell for those negative energy visitors.

This works best on hard floors to sweep up but I would think carpet and a good vacuum would be good too.

So while I think 90% of the time prepping a spell does indeed require a calculated approach in that you plan and execute it, but I do absolutely believe in those moments when a spell just comes to you with no prior knowledge, and yet you still manage to come up with something incredibly powerful and potent. I do believe that there are spontaneous magic moments within magic.
