i fully support people being able to vent

but i also firmly support a person’s right to say “hey, i really would rather not hear this right now” for any reason, so if you ever don’t want me to mindlessly ramble about how much my life sucks PLEASE feel free to tell me because i strongly think that helping someone deal with their problems should be VOLUNTARY

oh BOY do I have about a dozen people I’m gonna screenshot this to

Protection in a bag

If you’re like me, you may not always have time to prepare a ritual to protect a person or item I want to keep safe. I might consider an informal way to cast a shell, but I wouldn’t consider it less effective than performing rites.

I am making a small spell bag to protect and cleanse my sacred space.

Ingredients:

• Sea salt – to cleanse the area your bag will be in like a filter, constantly keeping energy clear.
• Patchouli oil – to protect and ground.
• Rosemary – to purify and protect.
• Bay leaves, basil, and/or cloves – for protection.
• Sage – for cleansing, and warding.
• Mint – for purification.
• Cinnamon – for protection and spell power.
• Purple, black, and white cord – to bind disruptive energies.
• Rose thorns, stems – for protection from harm.
• Obsidian – for absorption of negativity.
• Selenite – for cleansing and protection.
• Fluorite – for psychic and energetic protection.
• Candle
• Spell bag or satchel

Note: I’ve listed a few options if you would like to include a stone or crystal in your own spell bag, but you certainly don’t need all of them. However, they can provide a punch of protective power!

Process:

• Light your candle with intent to protect.

• Grind your herbs and incorporate them into the sea salt and last, add the thorns. (I used a pair of garden shears to cut up the thorny bits, but the rest was done by hand.)

• Pour the mixture into your bag.
• Add a few drops of patchouli oil into your bag of salt and herbs and gently toss, careful not to spill the contents.
• At this point, you can add any crystals or stones to the inside of the bag. I chose obsidian.
• Use melted wax to seal your spell to the thorny stem.

• Tie knots down the length of the rose stem, binding someone or something from doing you harm.

• Place the stem upright in the bag of herbs and salt. Tie shut.
• Leave the bag wherever you need it.

Bonus: Add a sigil! You can draw one on a whole bay leaf to put inside, or draw one on the bag.

I hope you find this craft useful!

As always,

Many blessings!
