A favorite of poet and philosophers, this plant can make psychic and spiritual messages appear more clearly. Helps bring clarity so you can understand the messages easier.
I know this is probably so obvious but I just started using this so maybe I’m not the only one that didn’t think of it right away. I used to salt cleanse in a bowl, cup, or literally tupperware (I mean let’s be real magic isn’t always fancy). Then I was at the craft store getting jars to put my lavender and rose petals in (you know, as one does) and I bought an extra because you can never have enough jars. Anyway, when I got home I thought of this and I am here to pass the knowledge along.
DISCLAIMER: There are crystals that may be sensitive to certain treatments, such as salt exposure and tumbling. It is YOUR responsibility to do you YOUR OWN research on what is best for your tools.
WHAT YOU NEED:
A moderately sized jar with a lid (This size jar works for all but one of my crystals, the bigger the crystal the bigger the jar)
About ¼ cup of sea salt
Your crystals (1 to 3 at a time depending on size)
WHAT TO DO:
Fill jar about half way with sea salt
Place your crystal (or two depending on size) in the salt
Close jar
Give it a light shake if you feel the need to submerge the crystal further
Let sit as long as you feel necessary (I usually let my crystals sit overnight)
Remove crystals
Charge however you like
This is also a really cute discrete decoration it sort of resembles a jar of sand with a sea shell in it. Great to place on an altar or even a night stand like I do! I know this was probably really simple and obvious but I want to be as helpful as I can! Let me know if you try this out and how you like it! ☽✧☾
Bonus:
You can shake the jar more vigorously in order to charge your crystals if you believe in this physical form of charging! Personally I really enjoy doing this especially since a lot of my crystals are sensitive to sunlight. I hope you enjoyed this bonus tip! Reply with a ⚡️ if you read this far!!
Incorporating witchcraft/witchy things into your everyday life
I always get asked tones of questions on how to incorporate witchcraft into your daily routine so here are some ways that you could possibly do so
The tips:
- when you wake up you could burn incense or sage around your house and yourself to cleanse everything for a brand new day
- when drinking drinks like tea or coffee you can use the spoon to mix in a clockwise direction to increase something or anti clockwise to decrease something
- you can also draw a sigil in the bottom of your cup with honey and then add you drink on top
- when baking things with crust you can carve sigils into it to make your food more magickal and be filled with your intent
- set up an altar for your ancestors and pray to it everyday when you wake up or before bed, you can also leave offerings on there
- carry crystals or amulets you have made in your pocket or around your neck for them to work their magick
- enchant things such as makeup brushes or jewellery
- pretty self explanatory but you can write in your book of shadows or grimoire everyday
- have a moon chart which shows the stages of the moon each month and mark when you would like to practise your spells based on what moon phase will be most beneficial
- grow a garden filled with lots of different plants and trees and bushes, everyday go out and spend time in it to clear your mind and become more in tune with your spirituality and intuition
I hope this helped some of you’s! Feel free to add more suggestions below, happy enchanting ✨
feel the energy of the earth come up through the floor into your body
place your left hand on a tree; feel the energy of earth soak through its roots, up the trunk, through your hand, into your body.
stand outside in the dirt, barefoot. visualize the core of the earth radiating energy, and see it creeping up through the rock, the soil, the dirt, into the plants, into your feet, rooting you, like the plants around you, to the earth.
🌊 water
place your hands in water. visualize the water’s energy seeping into your body. see the ocean inside of your body, holding you and filling you with water energy.
take a bath. lay down in the water. visualize the water of the bath elongate into a vast ocean, in which you are in. visualize you slowly becoming one with the water, until you are no longer being swept away by the waves, you are the waves.
drink some water. feel the water going down your throat, into your stomach, and visualize the energy from the water spreading throughout your entire body.
🌬 air
go outside. feel the air blow past you, over your head, around your body. visualize the air beginning to sweep under your feet, bringing you up into the air, until you are flying.
feel the wind around you, weather it’s from a fan, the outside air, or another source. feel how it diverts around you. imagine this air not diverting around you, and instead flowing into your body, as if you were a balloon.
go outside. imagine the air around you all circulating around you, like a tornado. feel the air suck you into it’s whirlpool, and feel yourself as the air.
🔥 fire
light a candle or fireplace. place your hands near it. feel the warmth from the fireplace radiate off into your hands. feel the fire energy soak through your skin into your body, filling you with energy.
light a match. feel the fire flow through the smoke from the candle into your fingertips, slowly filling your whole body with fiery energy.
go outside and close your eyes. feel the fire radiate off the sun and fill your body with fire, with lava, with heat. imagine your body as a volcano.
if you believe witchcraft is for cis women only then unfollow me. If you think trans women can’t be witches, unfollow me. if you think men can’t be witches, unfollow me. If you think think trans men can’t be witches, unfollow me. If you think non binary peeps can’t be witches, UNFOLLOW ME

I value self-care so much and view it as infinitely important. This is a brief compilation of tips on ways to make self-care witchy and ideas for embracing and enhancing who you are. This post is more focused on self-care in terms of acceptance of your physical appearance, I might do one on mental health later if this is popular :) As usual, feel free to add your own ideas and tips!
Misc / General Self-Care:
💕 Keep a familiar crystal nearby, or rose quartz for love, positivity, protection from negativity and self-care energies.
💕 Project negativity and anger into a stone and throw it (as hard as you can if you like) into a body of water. Call upon the universe or any deities to purify the energy and use it for a better purpose.
💕 Charge an object in your room such as a pretty stone or crystal, painting, plant or piece of jewellery with postive, encouraging and loving energy and keep it nearby. When you look at it, you can receive a boost of positivity.
💕 Talk or pray to a divinity, the moon, the stars, sun, the wind, your potted plants, anything. Whether mentally or verbally, they will listen to you.
💕 Stretch to loosen up your body and get rid of negativity. Then invite in positive energy.
💕 Clean and cleanse your space magickally! Use crystals, music and herbs to help you if you like. Sprinkle a little salt around, use colour magick when making your bed, bring in some potted plants to purify the air and uplift your mood.
Beauty Tips:
💕 Use clockwise motions when applying makeup such as foundation (if you like to wear it) to attract positivity and all the good stuff like luck, harmony, success and health. If you don’t wear makeup (lol me cos idk how to apply it) you can use this motion when scrubbing yourself clean to invite in positivity.
💕 Get some sunshine! This is fantastic for your skin (in moderation of course).
💕 Draw sigils for a good work out before you exercise.
💕 This isn’t witchy but pfft. You’re beautiful, you’re talented, you’re smart, you’re strong, you’re loved, you don’t need to change yourself. I will legitimately cry if you don’t believe me or if anyone tells you otherwise. (Tell me who they are and I will beat them up).
