✨ So You Want To Be a Witch? Pull Up a Stump, Babe. ✨
First off—welcome to the wild, wonderful, occasionally messy world of Witchcraft. Glad you made it to the cottage door. Second—and I say this with all the love of a cranky forest auntie—please fact-check what you read. Not every “witch tip” online is brewed from the freshest herbs, if you know what I mean.
Now onto the real reason I’m tapping this out while sipping my mugwort tea: three spell types every baby witch should start with. Why? Because you need little-to-nothing, they actually work, and they won’t set your kitchen on fire. (…yet.)
🗣️ 1. Chants — Your Voice Is Your First Wand
You already have everything you need: your breath, your intention, and the picture in your mind of the outcome you want.
Here’s a cleansing chant for when depression’s been squatting in your space or life’s been serving you nonsense:
“Cleanse this space, remove the past.
I’ve found my happiness at long last.
Fill this space with joy and love.
Send your blessing from above.”
Say it like you mean it. Feel the good energy sweeping out the stale junk. Imagine warmth and love filling every corner. Boom—magic.
🧵 2. Knot Spells — Tie It, Claim It
All you need is string or ribbon. As you tie each knot, you speak your intent and visualize exactly what you want. Knots are usually done in counts of 3, 7, 9, or 13—witchy numbers with some oomph behind them.
Match the ribbon color to your purpose if you can, but don’t panic if all you have is yarn from the junk drawer. Hedge witches improvise like champs.
Great for: protection, healing, glamours, general “I’m manifesting this whether the universe likes it or not.”
3. Candle Magic — The Classic, the Cozy, the Powerful
Candle magic is iconic for a reason. You pick a candle in a color that suits your intention, focus on your outcome, speak your words, and let that baby burn.
Short on time? Birthday candles are tiny, fast, and ridiculously convenient—don’t sleep on them.
Trust me: once you start, you’ll end up with a rainbow collection of candles in shapes, sizes, and vibes you didn’t even know existed.
