5 Ways To Practice Everyday Witchcraft

What is "Witchcraft" anyway? 

Many people think that you have to have a wart on your nose and all the nicest, name brand brooms in your closet to be witchy. It’s not true! You can do witchcraft anywhere at anytime, with limited money and limited supplies. Remember that the magic lives within you and can be activated at any time! Here are some quick and easy tips on how to practice everyday witchcraft!

    1    Be in Nature! Go for a walk, run or hike. Try to spot plants or animals and find something small, like a rock, leaf or acorn to bring home and put on your altar. Use all your senses and take off your shoes for a nice natural grounding experience. Putting your hands and/or feet in dirt can be a rewarding earthly practice. Gardening is also an easy way to get in touch with our nature! Start a garden or plant some things to bring inside. Go out in the rain! Allow Mother Nature’s cleansing cloud droplets cleanse you and clear your energy. You can also gather rain water for spells!

    2    Journal! Commune with plants and animals. Journal about the symbolism you feel when sitting under a willow tree or your interaction with your cat. Journal about what the colors mean to you. Journal about your dreams, your ancestors and your guides. Write about a stranger you see, create a story for them and develop their character. Write about your favorite songs and why you love them so much! This is a great way to get in tune with your intuition and allow a cosmic flow of consciousness to present itself to you on paper.

    3    Practice sending out your energy. Our positive energy is a powerful resource, share your good intentions with others. Send out healing energy to those to need it most. Notice how it makes you feel.

    4    Practice calling back your energy.  Close your eyes and visualize a big, golden sun over your head. Feel its warm presence. Now imagine everywhere you may have left some of your energy. People, places, objects, experiences, everything. Picture each thing as a color and call it into the sun. See your energy leaving your car and your work, your phone, your friend’s house etc. See it all coming up and out and into the sun. Once you feel like you grabbed everything and the sun is full of your energy, open up your crown chakra and dump the sun into you! Feel the warm flood of your own energy pour down your spine, into your chakras and spill out and into your aura. Feel it wash over you and charge you up!

    5    Create a mandala. Use anything that may be around you. Nature or otherwise. Create a portal for cosmic energy to manifest! Get creative with it, put a sigil in the middle and make some wishes. Use this portal for anything that you feel like conjuring!
