“Dust this powder on your sails and the winds wil favor you” -markl
Heyo! As I mentioned earlier this account was meant to be an online grimoire that would teach y’all how to make TV spells real! This is one of the first ones I made but it works pretty well.
Ingredients:
Assembly:
I’ve used this on luggage, plane tickets, veils, tires, actual sails, dusted it on my boots, slapped it on talismans and now I keep it in my coat pocket.
It must be working too, or else the gods are willing it, I’ve never bumped into any trouble in my car, passed my drivers test on the first go, never had a flight delayed or cancelled, our hotels have got our rooms ready and none of my flights have featured crying babies. So. In contrast I feel it works just fine.
You could also use this for Aeromancy if you’re into the Artes Magicae 👉👉 blessings be and all that 🤗
Hey Howdy Folks, here's another POP spell made witchy! I've tried to stay true to the recipe above but I took some liberties so make the spell more accessible for modern witchcraft. This spell also follows acultomancy, which uses 21 needles to interpret a message when the water is moved.
Materials:
Preparing your scrying mix:
☾ perform literally any type of self care! our energy is constantly being drained either in spellwork, studying, or everyday life. you deserve it. (take a shower, drink some water, make some food, etc. don’t underestimate the power of taking care of yourself!)
☾ get some air dry clay and have fun with creating! you can make witchy items such as a pendulum, pendants, offerings, amulets to write talismans/sigils on, etc. and it’s even better because you’re making it with your own intent!
☾ when stressed, take a moment to connect with mother nature. this can be done wherever, even inside. imagine you are sitting in the grass. your roots are intertwined with those in the earth. they are giving you energy and strength. remind yourself everything is in divine timing.
☾ decorate your bos/grimoire and make it more ‘you’! remember, perfection is a completely made up term to make people overwork themselves. it doesn’t exist. what works for you, is perfect. what’s made with your hands, and your mind, is perfect.
☾ create a witchy playlist for when you’re doing spellwork/studying witchcraft! music can be incredibly uplifting. i’ve even created a witchy playlist for my blog! (check it out if you want hehe)
☾ wake up with the sun, go to sleep with the moon. have daily conversations with them both. realize they are your friends and are always there for you.
☾ record when you make mistakes magically! i know, this sounds like a nightmare to most neurodivergents. but you can use this to your advantage! you will learn from them, and eventually figure out what’s works for you and what doesn’t. knowing what works for you will empower you.
☾ carve sigils into your furniture for further protection! (and i mean your furniture, not your parents, roommates or siblings. please don’t vandalize things that aren’t yours)
☾ don’t stress yourselves out over labels. it can be fun to be this and that, but there is absolutely NO obligation to call yourself a certain type of witch! i have some witch friends that simply vibe, and practice all types. you can simply be a witch if you’d like.
☾ create your own set of rules/reminders/moral code to follow (ex. bible). although a lot of witches that i’ve met usually all follow the same type of moral code; if you’re not hurting anyone/anything, or meddling in anyone’s life, do what you please.
☾ cleanse your room/home! you’ll feel better, and sleep better. you can do this with incense, sunlight, sound, or herbs (please only use white sage if you’re native or if it has been gifted to you by a native person).
☾ don’t let ANYONE tell you how to do magic! it’s your craft! it doesn’t concern anyone else but you. if someone tries to tell you you’re doing something wrong, pay them no mind. (unless they are telling you that you are appropriating a culture, or something of the sorts then LISTEN!!!!)
Runes are an Ancient Germanic Alphabet that many use for divination. They can also be used as sigils because each Rune holds its own meaning. Witches write out the Runic Alphabet on small stones, bones, or marbles and gently toss them into a vessel and scry based on where they land or what falls at all.
The Elder Futhark is the oldest form of the Runic Alphabet, and is consisted of three aspects of three different deities being Freyja’s, Heimdall’s, and Tyr’s Aetts. Each Rune has a meaning and its own correspondences. The Younger Futhark are also referred to as Scandinavian runes, is considered to be a reduced form of the Elder Futhark, but still remains a runic alphabet with sixteen characters. These were most prominently used through the ninth century.
ᚠ Fehu: Freya’s Rune, domestic cattle, power and position gained by your own hand, earned prosperity or regard. ᚢ Uruz: Auroch’s Horns, forces beyond our control are afoot, so stay serene and let it the process flow. ᚦ Thursiaz: Thor’s Rune, thorns and defense, protection within and around oneself or space, security. ᚱ Raido: The Chariot, travel, intellect, logic, the arts, journey, action, effort, change, progress, and movement. ᚲ Kenzaz: The Torch, bending nature towards your will, paving your own way through with blazing passion.. ᚷ Gebo: Sacrifice, substitution, replacement, exchange, trade, offering up something for something better in return. ᚹ Wunjo: Strength in bliss, companionship, splendor, delight, pleasure, happiness, company, and camaraderie.
ᚻ Hagalaz: Precipitation, particularly Hail, Duality. Purging Chaos. The union of opposites. Fire and ice. ᚾ Naudiz: Determination, character, endurance, independence, desperation, self-reliance, force, and effort. ᛁ Isa: Ice, perfect stillness, introspection, sanctuary in seclusion, contemplation, being frozen. ᛃ Jera: Harvest, time, reaping what is sown, enjoying the fruits of your labors, abundance from work. ᛇ Ahwaz: Stability, reliability, firmly planted, grounded, connected, to be deeply rooted, ᛈ Pertho: The grail, mystery, magick, femininity, secrets, reproduction, fertility, nether regions. ᛇ Eiwaz: Horns of a stag, labor and sacrifice for development and growth, high strength of will. ᛋ Sowilo: The Sun, transformation, productivity, maturity. movement, achievement.
ᛉ Algiz: Odin’s Rune, defensive protection, intellect and wisdom, divine connection, and interaction. ᛏ Tiwaz: Tyr’s Rune, authority, power, leadership, honor, admiration, regard, and reverence. ᛒ Berkanano: The Birch, new beginnings, openings, and journeys ahead. Growth and cycles. ᛖ Ehwaz: Horses, coordination, movement, independent cooperation to achieve the same goal. ᛗ Mannaz: Memories, union, fellowship, connection, the collective of humanity, harmony and peace. ᛚ Laguz: Leek, fluidity, emotion, insight, subconscious, processing, & divinity of the lake’s waters. ᛝ Ingwaz: Masculinity, fertility, potential, new perspectives, and opportunities, ripe with chance. ᛟ Othila: The hearth and home, sacred family, ancestral property, stability, inheritance, home. ᛞ Dagaz: Duality, balance, union of opposites, the day and night, oppositions finding peace.
so i’ve seen other tarot readers do something link this, and this idea came into my head so i was like, why not? all you have to do is pick TWO piles for each section. the 1,2,3 section is how your FS or s/o parents see you/view you. and the a,b,c section is how YOUR parents see/view your FS (really hope that explains it well)
please tell me if you would like more PAC like these and PLEASSEEEE send in some PAC ideas
four of swords - queen of wands - the star - queen of cups - seven of swords - the hierophant - nine of pentacles
so i’m seeing that they genuinely like you. like there’s this stigma around in-laws not liking who people are dating/married to BUT then again that’s not always the case. im seeing that you will have a good relationship with their parents and they actually will like your presence. i think it’s by the way you carry yourself and the way you talk. just how you present yourself to then and others makes you very likable. i’m seeing you as someone very respectful, and their parents may be the type that are very formal and traditional. i see they have this mindset that respect for older peers is gone, but you will be beyond respectful. i actually see them talking about you to other people, and normally people would view this as a bad thing, but they are actually talking good. they love the way you care for yourself and your fs or s/o. you’re a very calm person and can be very nice with your words, so i see you being very kind to them and they just like… love you.
justice - seven of cups - the chariot - three of wands - five of pentacles - the tower - the sun
i see they view you as someone who is very talkative. i think you may talk their head off when you first meet and not even realize it. they won’t judge you for it, they may zone you out tho… either way, i see that they will notice how you have sort of a bubbly personality and just a very charismatic attitude. i’m seeing that they’ll notice the way you talk to your fs or s/o and something about it might surprise them, or sort of confuse them. i think they think of you as someone who isn’t necessarily their son/daughters type so it may be like… different to them, i guess? they do noticed you’re super fast paced though, i think they love how you’re up to do lots of things and have just this leadership way of living. they also note how you don’t like the word, ‘no’… like for some reason they’re careful with that word around you. however; on the lower side, they notice how you sort of have a burnout (your fs may notice that as well) and they do care for you and get worried. i see during hard times or when your attitude changes they call you or sort of have a conversation to see how you’re doing. they never want to be in any sort of pain.
page of wands - ten of wands - five of cups - eight of cups - seven of wands - temperance - death - king of cups
sooo being straightforward they sort of see you as someone with lots of emotions. and having emotion isn’t bad but they think you’re someone who is pretty dramatic. i feel like they don’t take the time to understand other peoples feelings completely so they immediately judge you. i notice that they don’t really have that much of a care for you, they think you’re fit enough to care for yourself, and even at times thought ‘why would they even be dating my child’. i do see however they enjoy your cleverness. i see that you are someone who is just super clever, and this is super random, and good at riddles????? that popped up in my head.
four of swords - the high priestess - strength - justice
there’s so little cards but so many messages, omg okay… so your parents think of them as like very intelligent and someone that has a strong mindset. i think they will be super surprised by meeting this person and the fact you’re with them cause it’s like… i hear them saying ‘they’re literally perfect’. i think conversations between your FS and your parents will last a lonngggggg time, they’re really good at carrying conversations. i wonder if they’re someone in higher class OR someone that’s like an owner of something, ‘cause i see when gifting they will gift your parents something like expensive?? maybe it’s only a bit odd to me since people in my family never really do that, but they’re generous with EVERYONE and your parents will for sure like them. (i made that sound like just for their money but love their personality not their money lmao)
nine or cups - nine of pentacles - seven of wands - four of cups - ace of pentacles - four of swords - three of swords - strength - two of pentacles
okay so a lot of cards flew out which is making me think that your parents have ALOT to say about them. so first off, they notice the strength and balance your FS has. i see they ask you a lot of questions about them because they’re very curious. i dont necessarily see your FS as someone mysterious or super quiet, but i don’t think they sort of talk about themselves alot. i see that your parents may be a bit pushy with them, i do see you probably getting annoyed by it since they may cross boundaries. i don’t see them doing it like on purpose or to make you mad, i think they’re just super curious about them?
two of cups - king of cups - knight of wands - wheel of fortune - queen of wands
wow so, first off… your fs is smooth asf. anyways. your parents will LOVEEEEEE your FS????? like this relationship will bring you good luck… big time. your parents will adore your fs because of just their attitude and their confidence. your FS seems really respectful but also has this independence to them and like your parents are like; “wow i’m so happy my child is dating/married to you right now.” i do see your parents may spoil your FS a lot. like don’t get jealous but your FS seems to just have good luck follow them, and so they’re sort of gifted lots. your parents = spoiling your FS
Okay, I’ve been really struggling to connect with certain aspects of Hellenic polytheism and I think my main issues are not really knowing where to start. Who to start WITH that wants to work with me.
Are there any fairly reputable places to get a deity reading? I know they won’t be 100% accurate, but I still would like all the help I could get. 😅
If anyone knows of anyone that does good deity readings please let me know! 💜
While a God "wanting you" might be a concept for various witchcraft traditions (or neo-pagan traditions I don't know about) when it comes specifically to Hellenic Polytheism you do not need to find a God who "wants to work with you." I recognize that you might still want divination for the matter and that's perfectly fine. But I want to stress how this is not the case within the religion of Hellenic Polytheism hence this long post.
Think about all the God you like, throw all their names into a hat, pull one out. Ta dah you've picked a God— I'm going to give much more thoughtful ideas but it is literally that simple.
The Gods are worthy of worship and will appreciate that worship from any sincere person. There are zero historical precedents to say that Gods wanted worship from these individuals but not these individuals. There is zero historical precedent that every individual person needed divinations or signs to figure out which God to worship.
Ancient people's lives were permeated by the Gods both in the home, community, and government. Thus they worshipped which ever Gods played major roles in the traditions of their area and region.
If you want an altar:
Basic Act of Worshiping— I'm using Zeus as an example:
Simpler, you can even do this at a sink or in a shower:
The above is important because it builds reciprocity (Kharis) between Gods and mortals. But other worship activities include:
I suggest Labrys Household Worship book here is an article that has a lot of the book. And while I have not finished reading it yet, thus far Hellenic Paganism by Samantha Leaver has been excellent. Also a masterpost on Hellenic Polytheism compiled by @pinkhellenicgods.
You can pick literally any (or none) of these I'm not trying to overwhelm anyone I'm just trying to give a whole dump of ideas for people. I suggest Theoi.com for easy access info on the Theoi.
🔹You could start with Hestia because she is Goddess of the home and thus an excellent place to start in my opinion.
🔹Zeus and Hera the King and Queen of The Theoi
🔹A Theos or Daimon related to your work/studies. Examples.
🔹A Theos or Daimon related to something you want to improve in your life. Example
🔹A Theos or Daimon related to things you want to do. Example:
There are many more bullets that could be added and Gods that could be added to each of the existing bullet points. Especially when epithets come into play.
...I've considered (most of which I haven't done) that could be useful brainstorming:
🔹Which ever of the Gods you chose simply give them a libation once a day with the short prayer. You can pick a time or better yet an activity to make it consistent. For example, do it directly after you finish getting dressed. Do it right before you eat breakfast or dinner. Do it before you get ready for bed. Etc, that way it stays consistent and you always have a reminder.
🔹Surrounding the passage of the day/time. The prayers can be very short letting you do them by simply pausing for a minute or two. You can offer a simple libation in the morning and/or night with the prayer.
Prayer Example: "Beautiful Hemera, I thank you for this day, I seek your favor and honor you with my actions. Good morning."
Prayer Example: "Shining Helios, as you reach your peak this day, I remember you, I thank you for your life giving light."
🔹Surrounding daily activities. And I do mean like 3 sentence prayers.
Prayer Example: "Gentle laughing Hygeia, I enter this shower so I may cleanse myself. I remember your beauty and wish to honor you with my actions, so you may look favorably upon me"
Prayer Example: "Hestia, first and last among the Olympians, home maker, I cook this food through your strength and thank you for this flame. May my body be replenished"
You can make any combination that would follow the path of your daily activities; it could be any number too this is just an example. And perhaps one libation in the morning or night
🔹Focus on the "Household Gods" which I linked info above
🔹Follow a calendar like schedule to give a libation & prayer, as outlined above, to specific deities on certain days:
2 week period based on the order the Olympians were born in (or rather the order the internet told me)
7 Day Version
I took this and simplified it. Its based on historical stuff like Heisods Work and Days some days have no Gods listed:
I'd love to make my own 30 day thing (as well as the 2 weeks or 7 days not focused solely on the 13 Olympians) because the above just doesn't click, but that's a project for another day. Also do not worry about calendars or festivals this is just an idea.
I think that covers the ideas in my head, thanks for reading if you got this far
Oh my goodness! Thank you so much for all this information! I really appreciate it. 💜 I’m going to go reread and then figure out when/how I’m going to implement some of this.
This is a 5 card spread simply about your love with your partner. Have you ever wondered about how well of a match you and your partner are? How much you affect each other? This spread can be used with any divination tool you prefer to use. Endless love and joy to all.
(Image Description: A large rectangle box with a fancy design near the middle of the image. There are card boxes that mark 1-5 within them. They are located in the middle of the image. Below the boxes is a text box that reads, “Piece of my heart. Wasteland-Magic.” The text is aligned to the middle of the box. Above the text is three pixelated hearts. The colors in this image are a ray of pinks. A darker pink, a medium pink, and a light pink.)
One of my favorite ways to spell cast is with a deck of tarot cards. It’s so simple and effective, and you can literally use this basic spell for anything you want to draw in or release from your life. You can use any tarot deck for this spell technique, but I keep an older deck that I don’t use for readings anymore and use that.
What you need:
You can improvise in any way, but I usually have incense burning, a few white candles out (tea lights are my fave) and whatever crystals I feel are appropriate for the issue at hand. You can always use a general white quartz if you’re unsure.
I always include a physical portion of whatever I’m spell casting for. If it’s a job I want, I might print out my resume and have it laying on the bottom, or collect a some dirt from around the building. If the spell is about me, I might cut a lock of my hair. Just so there is something to anchor the spell to.
I will usually add whatever other elements I might need for visualization or to set the tone. Some things I have used was ribbons for school colors, pictures, herbs that have relevant properties and things like that.
What you’ll do:
Start out by predetermining which three tarot cards you want to use. If I am looking for a job for instance I might choose the 10 of pentacles to represent money, judgement to represent the decision of me working and a third card that closely represents the work I will be doing.
Begin your spell by casting a circle or simply visualizing a bright white light around you, protecting you and your space. Light your candles and incense. Set out your physical items leaving space for your cards.
Set out the first one and visualize in your minds eye the intention of your spell. Then lay out the second one and visualize you getting what you want or the decision being made in your favor. Set out your third card and visualize you in the position of where you want to be.
Meditate on this for a few minutes, making sure you are releasing your intention out into the world and knowing that if there is any mundane work to be done that you are committed to your part. (Mundane work would be working on your resume, brushing up on any skills, and submitting for the job…basically doing your best effort to get where you want to be.)
When you feel like you have released your intention, blow out the candles (or let them burn up to you) and ignite your incense. Thank the energies and release your circle however you want to.
Collect all the items and place them in a small bag and carry them with you. Leave your tarot cards out (if you can) and revisit that energy as many times as you want until your spell is successful. Happy casting!

for all my witches who work with the moon! 🌙
Really simple way to get started with runestones!
Just buy some glass beads from the dollar store (where I bought them), Walmart, Michaels,
They should be fairly large, mine are a bit larger than my thumb (and I would’ve liked a little larger), and have a flat bottom.
Then take a sharpie to em and write each rune on them!
For the best look write the runes backwards so the rounded top is facing the right way
Here are all the runes mirrored!
Once you have them all sharpied put a layer of clear nail polish top coat so they don’t rub off, and there you are!

🎉 Fairy festivals take place at crossover points in the seasons. Equinoxes and solstices are determined by the position of the Sun, but the other four festivals are celebrated when the time feels right, so the dates given below are approximate.
🎉 There are other festivals too,such as Christmas Eve,Christmas Day, and New Year’s Day. Any human festival that touches on old traditions,from Ramadan to a Japanese Flower Festival, is a fairy feast. If you celebrate these festivals and make the effort to tune into what concerns the fairies, you will draw closer to their world. If you celebrate a special meal, remember to leave a little outside afterward for the fairies
