Hello my lovelies and welcome back to the Witchery podcast. So we are back today with episode 12, and this is for the woman who has forgotten that she is the magical one. So in this episode, we're going to be looking at practical witchcraft and spells for everyday life. So over the last 11 episodes, we've gone quite deep. We've looked at the witch wound from so many different angles. And hopefully that you've started to understand yourself a little bit more. You know, maybe you have recognized some of those patterns in yourself, or maybe you've started to question some of the beliefs that you've been carrying around for years that perhaps no longer serve you. But today I thought we'd have a bit more fun because one of the things that I hear all the time is that people would love to be more witchy, but they don't know where to start, or they don't have enough time, or they don't know enough about witchcraft, or they don't have all the fancy equipment needed to create magical spells. But truly and honestly, you don't need any of that. And so it is, of course, my job. It's one that I love and it doesn't feel like a job, but it is my job. So I have those hours there during the day to create these elaborate and gorgeous spells for my clients. But if I'm honest, while sometimes I do the biggest spells for myself, most the 99% of my spell work is simply everyday practical magic because no one has time to spend hours creating spells for themselves, and you don't need loads of fancy equipment because you are the magical conduit, you are the one that holds all of the magic. Within magic, everything is intention, and the only way to infuse everything with intention is through you. The thing that makes these magical tools work is because you put that belief and you put that intention into them. It's a little bit like when I teach card reading or any form of divination actually, that involves a tool of some kind, whether that is cards or pendulum or dowsing rods or anything at all, a lot of people feel as though they are getting the information from the tools. And of course, they are assisting you, but actually, you don't even need those tools for divination. It's just that a human likes to have something that feels more tangible. So if, for instance, you are receiving information, let's say you're holding doubting rods and you're asking yes or no questions, if you ask yes or no questions and the rods cross over, your human feels more satisfied with that answer because it's a physical, it's a tangible thing that you can believe more easily rather than acquire yes or no inner knowing that just feels like a thought. So I think we always, in any form of witchcraft, in any form of divination, we always place more emphasis on the tools than really needs it. And some of the most magical women that I know never ever ever do elaborate spell work. It's simply with intention. Because I say that is the most important part, you know, and going back to old-style witchcraft, it all stems from working with the seasons around what plants were growing at that particular time, when they blessed their homes, when they thanked the land, when they stirred love into the food that they were preparing for their family. Magic wasn't like another thing to do on a to-do list, and it also wasn't separate from their everyday life, because that is the part that most of the women who come to me, and I have done it myself, they live almost two separate lives. So they have their gorgeous spiritual side, which they love, dipping into, you know, they'll do the meditations, they'll work with the moon, they'll do journaling, all the things, but then won't integrate it into the everyday life. Whereas the magic is truly in the blending of the two. When you can bring the everyday into alignment with your magic, that is where the best fits lay. And today I thought that I would share 13 really simple things that I genuinely love doing, and none of them take loads of time, none of them cost a fortune, and none of them require you to know absolutely everything before you begin. Because if there is one thing that I hope you take away from today's episode, it's that you don't have to wait till the next four room, you don't have to wait until you've bought another crystal that someone else has told you works wonderfully for what it is that you want, and you don't need to wait until you're a proper witch. Because what the hell is a proper witch? And I have heard that terminology quite a lot. Like people will say to me, Yeah, but you're a proper witch. So so are you, you know? Declare yourself a witch. If you love magic and all things magical, you my lover a witch, and you are more than entitled to use that label if it appeals to you. And if it doesn't, that's wonderful too. And you can start today. So let's begin with the 13 practical magic tips and spells that you can use in your everyday. So number one is really, really simple. It's simply stirring intention into your morning drink. So whether you drink tea or coffee or you're just like water, you can use a spoon and you can literally stir your intention for the day. So I again use your intuition with this, whatever calls to you. For me personally, if I'm stirring clockwise, that is me welcoming something towards me. So if I'm manifesting, if I'm welcoming in, I'm gonna have a peaceful day today, I am gonna have an abundant day today, I am going to choose to really listen to my intuition today. Stir clockwise, and I love everything in threes. I guess that stereotypical witch of loving everything in threes, that is what I love. And so I will stir three times clockwise and welcome in the energy that I want to welcome for the day. If you want to release something, I would stir anti-clockwise again, three times, and really feel into your intention as you're doing it. If you're stirring clockwise and you're manifesting, think about how your day is gonna work, the energy that you're welcoming with, how that energy is gonna serve you. If you're releasing again, lean into how that will look. If you're releasing the need to be right for the day, and instead choosing peace, feel into how that will feel for you. If you are releasing an argument from the day before that you don't want to carry around with you into another day, allow yourself to feel that piece of it slipping away from you. And that can simply take you 10, 20 seconds to do in the morning, and it can be part of your routine as well, because you'll probably be having a morning drink anyway. So as you're having your morning tea or whatever drink it is that you like to drink, ask yourself a simple question: How do I want to feel today? Not what you want to achieve or how busy you're going to be, but how do you want to feel and lean into that, welcome that into your life, and then as you're drinking the tea or whatever drink you're you're drinking, allow it to absorb into you. You're literally taking that intention that you've just made into your body, you're making it part of you, you're drinking it all up so that it is. And if you want to make it a little bit more witchy, you could add different ingredients for their symbolism. So, for instance, if you wanted to sprinkle a little bit of cinnamon in it, that welcomes in abundance, honey for sweetness or attracting things. Honey is obviously very sticky, so it's good at making things stick, you know, rosemary for protection or mint for clarity on those arts. And again, these don't have to be things that you do do, but if you have them to hand and you feel called to, real simple magic. So let's move on to number two of your simple spells and practical chart. Bless your front door. So this takes five seconds to do. It's really simple. You don't need anything at all to do it. But before you leave your house, every time, just place your hand on your front door, take a breath, and just say, May I leave this house protected today? Or may I walk with courage today? Or may I only carry what's mine? And the world can feel really, really noisy sometimes. And this is just a really lovely way of reminding yourself how you want to step into it before somebody else gets to influence your energy, your major talk. And you're protecting your house, you're protecting yourself. Anytime you leave, anytime you enter, you can simply use this magic, and you don't have to speak aloud, you can do it in your mind. Take five seconds to place your hand on the door and work with your house to bring your intentions to fruition. So, number three is cleansing with fresh air. Now we should all have access to fresh air. So, again, another really simple way that doesn't involve using any complicated tools at all. So, whenever my house feels heavy, or you know, say you've just heard an argument, or something has happened, if there's a bereavement, or if there's something sad has happened within the family, or it's just a stressful day, even the first thing that I personally do that I find really beneficial is to open everyone down, to literally allow the element of air, the wind, to blow through the house and blow away any old, any stagnant, any negative energy, so that I can welcome in the fresh, the new energy, and I can reform my house with my intention. And if you feel like it needs an extra bit of end, you may like to use some herbs, whether that's sage or Palo Santo or Frankenstein or Rosemary, any herb that you feel called to use. For me personally, I don't tend to use sage on a regular basis for normal things, simply because sage is so potent, and it tends to remove all of the energy rather than just the nettity. So something like Palo Santo or Frankincense or rosemary is really good to just remove the unwanted energy. Like right now, for instance, I am burning incense. I don't know if you can see that. But I've actually chosen a lemon, lime, and grapefruit lunch because it's a great cleanser and uplifter and bringing of energy. So again, it's the the incense stick itself isn't like a magical tool. That's wonderful, it's beautiful, and it smells amazing. But it's an intention, it's your intention, it's what you put into it that makes it magic. So you can hold the herb and you can say, please help me, please work with me for eliminating any stagnant and the old and negative energy that's in my home. And you can thank the herb, and then you can give the herb back to another herb as a thank you. You could, if we don't have any herbs a hand or you don't like burning herbs, then you you could remember well, you could put on your favourite music, and sound really helps to eliminate and uplift any energy. But simply just open the window as well, and allowing the breeze to just gently go through your hand, and setting the intention that as the breeze goes through your hand, it clears out all of those energetic power-ups that may have built up, but just mean problems it's simple, it's free, and it feels so cleansing as well. So, number four is just lighting a candle with purpose. So I am a lover of candle magic. Um my husband worries sometimes about it because I have been known to have a fire or two that I may have had to call him because a spell has kind of gone a little bit wild, but I do love candle magic because it feels to me so painting. So it's something that I love, but you don't have to overcomplicate it, you don't need a perfect coloured candle or a beautifully little spell. Just decide what you want that thing to represent. Maybe you're about to sit down and do some notes, so you light a candle from it to a phone box, or maybe you've got a difficult conversation that you've got to have that day. So you light it, and as you do, feel into the courage of the fail. Maybe you've had a rubbish day and you want to invite a little bit more people into the home. But every time you hear that frame, it's a reminder of the energy. But you're supposed to. And the candle isn't doing the right for you. That's reminding you to do the which is the same with every single one of these little practical magic tips that I'm sharing with you today. So, for instance, I had a pandemic. Yeah, I think I have a candle over there as well. And as I like them, I like before recording this podcast, I set the intention that I'm gonna connect with my spirit team and I'm gonna bring forward the information that most needs to be had. I'm gonna allow my inner light to shine through so that I can help as many people as they possibly can. So, whatever your intention, light hand. And allow it to do the matter. So, number five is turn your shower into a clean nurture. This one I do with every single chamber that I have. And it can be washing your hands as well. It doesn't have to be a full shower, like in between if I'm doing quiet, if I am creating spells or doing readings or any form of energetica. In between, I really use washing before I can then have a shower. So at the end of the long day, just jumping on the shower, thinking about what you're putting for tea, thinking about the energy of the day that you've just had. Imagine the water not only cleansing you physical, but cleansing you energetically, spiritual as well. Any energy that you're holding on to that isn't yours, that doesn't serve you, allow it to vacuate all the red time. Allow it to go down the bottom. And visualize that, that that shower is when you're removing anything that isn't serving, and it's taking it a while. And if you want to add an even more plenty of them, you could take some epsilon salt and salt and sprinkle a little bit in the bottom of the shower, and that helps as well. The salt really helps to cleanse. And if there's something particular from that day that's sitting with you, you know, where something's playing in my mind because it's really bugged you or annoyed you in some way, no matter how people smile. As you're in the shower, think about that imagine yourself releasing the energy surrounding whatever it is that's round you up, allow the water to take it around so that it no longer bothers you after the shower. Number six, become a kitchen witch. And again, another really simple crap called magic tip, and it's one of the oldest forms of witchcraft and spells of magic. So as you're taking the ingredients upon the earth, you are transforming them, you are alchemizing them into something that nourishes the people that you love, your father. And that is magical within itself, because you are literally being an alchemist in that moment. You are transforming something into something else, all with love in your heart. So the next time that you're chopping the vegetables or stirring in the pan, think about what you're adding alongside the embroiderance as you add an embodiment into the pot. Have the intention of adding love to knowish my family along with the carrots. I'm adding healing to nourish. I'm adding comfort and joy and gratitude. And you don't need to announce it to everyone in the house, this is yours, unless you want to, of course, it's not a secret, but this is your way of bringing magic into your life and into your family's life, and you can just hold that intention while you're cooking. And again, just as with the the first tip that I gave you, if you want to welcome a memory then, stir cookwise, if you want to release something, stir empty cookwise. And I don't know about you, but I really feel that food tastes different when it's made with love. I think that's part of why going to your grandparents' house, for instance. Like I always remember loving dinners at my grandparents' house, and I think it's because, especially my nan, she absolutely adored feeding her family. She was a true feeder. You couldn't walk in her house without her saying, you know, oh, do you want to come to eat? Oh, do you want to bacon sandwich? Oh, do you want this? Oh, do you want that? And she would almost be offended if you said no. You, you know, you almost felt as though you had to say yes because it really, really pleased that lesser. Because she loved being able to do that for us. And I do think you can taste that, Nina Foo, but you're always the love that's poured into it. It's your intention. So, number seven is to carry a talisman, and a talisman can literally be anything at all. It could be a lot of people use crystal talismans, but it could be a stick, it could be a stone, it could be something homemade, it could be absolutely anything at all, something that someone's giving you that's special, something that you have created with your intention, but before you leave the house, you can hold it for the night and decide what you want it to remind you of, what energy it is that we want to welcome in. And then you can take it with you. And every time you see it or feel it throughout the day, so you want it to be quite small, you don't want to take it something every imassive out the door with you. I can't imagine. But every time that you see it while you feel the bed, it brings you back to that energy of welcome on. So, for instance, before this podcast, I've I've now got an obsession with elephants, and I believe the reason I have this. Obsession with elephants. It's only been in the last couple of months. I think it's because since my nan passed, I feel as though she's bringing through the energy of spirit elephants. And I feel it's because obviously elephants are nature. And they stay within the herd and they look after their family and they're wise and they're gentle. And I think that is the or part of the love that my nancy will hire. So I have been buying lots of crystal elephants recently, and before sitting down to record this podcast, I chose this little bar. Not one of them to use, oh she was a little rose corpse elephant. And I held on in my hands. I thought about the love that I want to bring to be on my subclass. The love that's between me and my man and my mum and spirit. The fact that they help me to bring to be the information that most needs to be heard at the moment. And I hold on to the other one. And I think about the energy that I always bring to the subcast. I like to be uplifting and enlightening and shared with love. So that is the energy that this little guy holds. And every time I see it or hold it, I'm again infusing that energy in there. I'm I'm giving that intention to the elephant, but I'm also taking it back because the intention I've already got in there. I also have with me all the time now, I was making it on Magical Puppets with my daughter last one. And we were infusing it, we do the herbs, we do the love that you wanted to be infused with it, and after it's a surprise, she made a little forgetful about. So this the fact it was from her daughter, it was lovingly made by her and from her, and it was made to represent someone who is no longer a gospel, my heart. This is really important to me. So this is pure love, and this is courage to be able to uh do anything because my daughter belongs to them and she enters to them, she let me know how proud she was of me, how courageous she thought I was. So now every time I see this, I feel emotional in the best possible way. I feel a whole load of love. So this comes with me everywhere now, and your talisman can literally be anything at all, and you can infuse it with anything, like you could sit to say this puppet or this elephant in herbs that you feel represent the energy that you want them to hold. I like to also infuse it with tarot to make the tarot talisman, where I will choose tarot or oracle cards that call to me because they to me symbolize the energy that I want my talisman to hold, and I will sit my talisman on top of the cards overnight to charge them with that energy. So you truly can be as creative as you want to with your talisman, and then carry it with you and allow it to bring magic into your day. So, number eight is working with the moon without overthinking it. I remember when I first started on my spiritual path, and I thought I had to have these huge rituals every single full moon and new moon, and I had to release on a full moon and I had to set intentions on a new moon. And while certain moon cycles encourage us to lean into certain energies like release, like intention set on a manifestation, your gut food, your intuition is so much stronger than that. So let's say, for instance, it's a foreman which is notorious for being very good for releasing a real powerful release that actually you're feeling really good to manifest. Go with that. The moon is speaking to you, so listen to her, listen to your introduction, and you don't have to have some big label that you can play. Yeah, you you're not missing out if you haven't got all the crystals and all the tools. The moon doesn't care, just notice her. Look up at her while you're sitting in your garden and looking within her, and notice whether she's growing inside or she's shrinking inside, and write down some intentions or what you're ready to let go of. You don't have to do everything at all, just notice how you're feeling energetically at particular times of the lunar cycle. As you would know, you are very connected to the lunar cycle. Our own feminine cycle is exactly the same as the lunar cycle. Well, that isn't an incident. So notice where you are in your cycle of different phases and how new person are gonna fall at that time at a month. And you're really beneficial moving forward. Because me, for instance, I know that I feel energized and powerful around the full moon, and so I always tend to structure workings like launches around the time of the full moon because I know I'm gonna have the energy there. Whereas on a new moon, I often tend to find that I'm more of larger, but I go in libs a little bit more, so I won't pan any point now around them all. Because when they're energetically, I'm not gonna be at my best. So, you know, people are some people that I've met have been the opposite, are more in touch with the vaccine cycles or the waving cycles. But once you really connect with your energetic cycle in comparison to the real cycle, uh, it's where the media's. So, number nine, create a simple surgen. And if you have a map with them anymore, they are symbols, it's just simply a symbol that represents your intention. So maybe you've got a good time, or you're launching something certain, or you're calling incompetence, you can create a little button something to you. You can download it, you can ask the universe, ask button to simply aside and just allow your hand to move on the page, not judging what it looks like. And then you can use your hands to rub over that symbol. You may like to repeat the symbol, putting over your heart face for things, and that can become your support for that time. You've given it that intention, whatever that intention was. And every time you see it, every time you sketch it out with your fingers or or with a pen, you know what it means, and you're choosing it and you're amplifying the energy within you. And you can carry that around with you, you don't have to hold on to it because it really you could simply with your fingers, put your sigil on over it. That's simple. That's yes. And it's very simple to use. So, number 10 is to simply get out sound. Now I know this sounds ridiculous as in the law, but when was the last time you went outside and just noticed what was the boundary? Not having headphones in or having your phone scrolling through it, not because you were rushing from Tesco's to your car, just seeing you being outside and feeling the sun on your face, or the wind on your face, or the rain on your face. Listening to the birds, noticing butcher the flowers you're breathing, looking at the trees, taking that deep breath in. And I think that for a lot of us we've become very dissonant from the earth, from nature. And so we can forget that we are part of it. But our ancestors all understood the sensing to be cattle. They knew when things were running, when things were down there, when to gather rich herbs and went to rest. We don't have to live like that animal. We can get, you know, fruits and vegetables and herbs all times of year, which is wonderful for us. But it does mean that sometimes we lose our intention and our connection with the air, because we can stop having attention altogether because we don't need to know that information. So next time you block out for a walk, just sitting outside, even if you're walking from your home to your car, for instance, or up alone, just get into a conversation with the world around. Because nature has such an incredible way of bringing us back home to ourselves, and you'll likely find that if there is something that you've been struggling with, a decision to make, or you know, you need some creativity, so you can be in nature and sometimes be the best in the kingdom. So number 11 is sweeping away that stagnant energy, and this one was 190, because it involves housework, so it is bringing intention and bringing witchcraft into the housework. Even as witches, unfortunately, we do still have to do a total, which is very unfortunate. But instead of trying it, well, try to, instead of seeing it as a chore, why not turn it into a little bit to it? As you're sweeping or vacuuming, imagine you're not just picking up the dust, but you're being on a value of the energy that's built up in your house as well. Any stress and frustration, any sadness, any negative energy. Maybe it's one of those weeks where everyone seems a little bit grumpy. As you work towards the door, imagine that you are sweeping on that planet, all of that heaviness out of a volume around you. And maybe you've got a gorgeous whoopsy room that you've used. But I find like Henry Hoover. It's just as good. Because again, we're going back to intention. With intention, my little Henry is calling up all of the energy that I don't want, along with all of the physical debris that I don't get removed there. It's clearing the way so that new energy can go in its place. So, number 12 is burning what we're ready to let go of. This is a lovely thing to do when something is weighing heavily on the mind. We can gather little piece of paper, write down whatever we're ready to release, any feel ourselves, doubt, limiting belief, guilt, resentment, anything at all. And then we can save the burning. And as it turns to us, just imagine yourself letting anything. Now, again, as with anything, as with intention, burning a piece of paper doesn't magically make all of your copies disappear. But there's something really, really powerful about giving your brain the human, that physical act. It lets your human know I'm ready to let go of this. And sometimes that's your myth. You're bringing your intention into that simple act and allowing yourself, allowing no human to release what no longer searching. And number 13, last but by no means lease, bless yourself be your words. And I wanted to finish this one because I think it's the most powerful spell that you can ever cast. Think about how many times you speak to yourself or about yourself. You might think or say, Oh my god, conception idea, I'm so stupid. I always get energy. I'm I'm not good enough. I'll never be able to do that. And words really carry energy, especially when you're placing them on yourself. Because you absolutely are putting that out there into the universe. This universe will listen to the spells that you are casting as you are saying these horrible things about yourself, probably things that you would never say about anyone else. And it may be something that you do it every single day. I know that I've been terrible for it, for criticizing myself and even doing it in a jovial way, a really joking way. But these words have, and we are placing these words onto ourselves, onto our men, onto our mentor. So if you do we're gonna touch him out what you're saying, what you're telling the universe, what you're telling yourself, changing it to I can handle this and learn. I'm so I'm proud of myself. And exactly where I need to go. I may not believe those words straight away when you say them, but the more that you appeal them to yourself, to the universe, the more that you'll know it the source game becomes to yourself. The witch wind has a lot to ask, especially with us women. It taught us to really doubt ourselves, to question ourselves, to shoot ourselves then. So perhaps one of the most revenious acts of magic that you can perform is choosing to speak to and about yourself with kindness because your words are powerful and you're powerful. So we need to be sure that we don't use them why is them. So there we are. Thirteen really simple ways to go into form magic and to work with a lot. Now, please don't finish this episode thinking that you need to do all thirteen tomorrow, although it would be simple to do. They are all part of everyday life, but just perhaps choose one that really called out to you today, and let it become part of your line rather than adding it, add something else that you've got to do in the best. Because that's what parts of each are is really about. Not about waiting for the perfect room starting, about choosing to use your body with intention of finding those moments of connection on your ordinary things, remember that your hype can be sacred, and you can use it to help you imagine. Your mom and your tune and recycled, your cooking can be sacred, your walk around sacred, and your words decorate our sacred. So today I hope you've had a good moment. Oh, limit magical. The magic has not gone anywhere. So this can best you won a phase like that that we're going to perform and make it yours. Make it your little routine. And if you do, I would love to hear it.
