No resources witchery

[Lila]

Howdy folks! So I have moved far away from all my supports and knowledge resources, and I'm generally pretty limited on funds for at least the next few months. However, I've also committed to regrowing my spiritual practices. So much of the rituals and spells I review for use would require me to purchase items I cannot find - I don't even have vessels for regular offerings! As a reminder to myself and as a collaborative endeavor, I'd like to write out practices and engagements that requires few to no items.

Please participate by adding your own, sharing links to guides/free resources, or adjusting another's guide for fewer items!


Meditation: Free, good for your mind and body, and you can do it so long as you've got somewhere to sit. There are hundreds of guided meditations for all sorts of goals and concepts. Meditation can furthermore heighten your intuition and deepen your connection with your guides/team.

I'm looking a making some of my own guided meditations because I have a decent working microphone. Their purpose would be fore me to use for me, but I'd probably put them on youtube anyway.

Journaling: Yes really. Among all the other psychological benefits, journaling can really help you define your intention. Free thought journaling* can also help you attune to your higher self. Even if you don't have a journal, you can write on any paper, on cardboard... techinally on the walls. There are all sorts of occult and witchy prompts.

Sigils: Sigil creation and crafting takes..... a pen/cil and paper. That's nearly nothing! Well, it takes time and focus as well, but is excellent for working through your motives and applying them practically. I've recently downloaded LTZ's Sigil writing book from libgen.is and it might be in the book section here as well.

Divination: While the Tarot has a deep and respectable history, it is by no means the only source of divination! Many forms can require low or no item commitment. One way is simply to... sit outside and listen after asking a clear and intentional question. Dreams can be another form of divination, requiring some prep work and sleep. Patterns in smoke, in tea leaves, in anything you're engaging with regularly. You can even create your own forms.

Kitchen Witchery: This one is a little heavier on the "stuff", but hey, you gotta eat! Every single thing you use in your kitchen has some specific aspect or association* with other energies and can be used as a foci for spellwork.

*One of my more annoying symptoms of my health condition is the inability to find the correct word in my mind. These denote such instances.

You can make talismans or similar from garden soil if it has clay like properties. Consecrate, carve, meditate ...and...away you go

There is much magic in a piece of string or yarn.

I can imagine how limitations in tools and money can appear daunting to some, but I think there's more power to be found in smoke, dirt, blood and listening in silence than in any sort of apparel. Specially as far as witchcraft is concerned.

Spending some time empowering the mind's eye will pay off. There's a little essay in my bookmarks that you might find inspiring, about

A tarot deck is also 'All" you need to do magick too. You can use the Aces, the courts. There's so much there.

That was an interesting read. It reminds me of the things I am most connected with.

I'd say servitors. For me, servitors have been the most effective magick for external results. All you need is something to draw their sigil, somewhere to record the contract, and a vessel (which can be anything, including a body part).

I have seen rituals to make servitors full of candles, strings, and incense. But I have never used them.

maybe I am used to different language, but what do you mean by servitors?

Basically constructed spirits. Some systems call them different things, but any artificial spirit is what I'm referring to. Magickal Servitors by Damon Brand and Create a Servitor by John Kreiter are two books that show you how to make them with little to no supplies. I generally combine techniques from both books.

I once was staying on a small sacred island and some people I did not know decided to come and stay in the house I was in - without permission from the owners.

So I generated an entity that stood above the public ferry jetty to keep them away - but did not tell the people. They rang the owners complaining that I would not let them on the island. Tough!

About midnight the deva over-lighting the island complained that my entity was not letting others on to the island either. So I took it down

It was simple geometry built with transpersonal light

Thanks for that. I found both books on libgen.

I tried to find something on Stones and Rocks but all I was getting was Gemstones.

This link and your image being a raven makes me chuckle.

This is a bare-bones outline for a sample spell, and it can be modified and enhanced "As you like it!" Magick is an Art, and you're the artist! You are the Magick, not your tools, robes, or fancy circles. This is a Visualization and you can add to it or modify it. This could be considered the more Direct Approach. If you don't want to do the LBRP then don't., The Psalm is a fast track to tools. They're there to give you confidence and protection, and if you don't feel you need them then it's OK. I also don't care if someone dislikes it! It's "Table" and not "The Table" because you're "borrowing" from Plato's Plane of Forms. First, you need to get into the right attitude or mood So chant this for a while:

OK: Chant if psychically attacked:
"Return to Sender,
Address Unknown,
No such number,
No such Zone!"

(Smile!) Then:
Sit in a comfortable chair. do LBRP if you want. Read Psalm 23; accept the gifts of Table, Cup, and Oil, and ask for Sword and Staff. See Sword cut a circle around you on the floor. Close your eyes, bring your attention to your entire body, and Feel it tingle. This is your Neural Body Sense. Bring your attention to your feet. See and Feel roots growing into the Earth and Positive Earth Energy rising from them to your ankles. See the chakra at the base of your spine, the sexual chakra, open like a flower or a whorl, and use it to draw Energy to it. See it rise to your lower waist, your waist, then to your heart; See the centers of your hands as chakras, See the energy rise from your hands into your arms, and rise to your throat, then to the middle of your forehead. See the energy rise to the top of your head, watch it spill over outside like a fountain, and See it return to your feet and flow up from your feet again several times while drawing in more energy from the Root. See it form a barrier, an outwards-facing 2-way mirror around you. See a Bucket, Fill it with Energy, pour it on the person's head, and See an Inward-facing mirror around the person! See and pick up a bronze dagger and Feel its weight. Locate the astral cords that represent the unwanted soul attachments, etc. It's probably close to your heart chakra. There's one primary "Silver" Cord you may See, *Do. Not. Cut. It.!! * See your heartstrings, then look for those that don't belong. If there's a hook then remove it with the blade, then cut the cord, See it fall away and disintegrate. See it heal. You can keep the mirror barrier, or let it drain back to the Earth. Close each chakra in turn, starting with the top of your head. Put your Gifts and the dagger on Table for later use. Say "So mote it be!"!

"See" means Visualize.
Slow down you move too fast. This is like meditation!
Add stuff like breath control, etc. It's an Art, not a Science!
Subtract suff you don't want or need!
Offensive Magick is the ** last resort **! Make it temporary.
The Visualization asks [a] god/dess for access to Plato's World of Forms. You could do it without asking!
Don't assume that the 'Lord' in the Psalm is Abrahamic. You can ask the Lady.
This is a personal portable magick. Earth is a "heavy" element that the Chakras make it much easier to raise.

It's not at all specific, but one of the things that sticks in my mind is from the Graeco-Roman papyrus: "Inferior magic requires tools; superior magic requires only words"

This is all good advice. People really over complicate folk magick. I don't have much to add but a few things. Any aspiring witches, root workers, wiccans, or any other folk magick practioncers out there... don't overthink it. If you have access to a public park, pharmacy, hobby store, grocery store, hard ware store, garden center, back yard, or any landscaped public place... that's enough.. Those places have everything you need. It's always been my person belief or inner knowing that what people call magick was always right under your nose in plane sight. It's dressed up as religion, certain family traditions, cultural traditions, daily habits, seasonal cycles etc... If you spend time in nature, cemeteries, churches, temples, mosques, ancient ruins do you feel that atmosphere is different. Think about why you feel that way and follow that feeling. Research your local area and history of such places.. You might find gateways to hidden worlds located right under your feet.
