Death Witch Rituals - My Basic List

Death witchcraft can be used and interpreted in many different ways. But what one does with it is often very personal, different, and unique. Here are some rituals, spells, etc. that I have done or am planning on doing that fit into my definition of Death Witchcraft.

Scrying with spirits - you may have seen my post about this a while ago, which I recommend reading if you’re interested. I touch lightly on human spirits their, but I do enjoy a session with human spirits, or even animals. I definitely ritualize scrying, though I am not sure why. It feels special to me, and always has…

Divining the future with the dead - similar to the last ritual, I divine with the dead to try and get answers, predictions, etc from them. I have a post on that too, which I wrote more recently. I really like to do this, as it gives both the spirit involved and me a hand in helping others, or even ourselves.

Grief spells and rituals - grief can be heart wrenching, lead to depression, and extreme bouts of loneliness. With consent, I sometimes do these rituals and spells to help loved ones feel more at peace. I wrote a funeral bouquet post about what I would send if asked to, and why each flower was a potent piece of healing. This is a minor form of these types of rituals.

Passing spells and rituals - helping spirits pass on, or get “unstuck” when reliving their past is a very rewarding thing. I like these because it prevents pain and suffering from life crossing over into death. Another aspect of the funeral bouquet post is for this, too.

Curses - death does not always mean bringing mortality to a living, breathing thing. I use it to smother success, disenchant happiness, etc. It seems cold, but I rarely use this in curses anymore. I have no need, at least not recently. My past curses have served me well, and my emotional response to evil people has matured.

Rebirth spells and rituals - I know the power of death, and of the rebirthing process that follows it. I am going to conduct a formal ritual regarding this and my recent recovery from depression. I want a moment of reflection where I can release the past entirely.

Communing with the dead - meditation can lead to eye opening encounters with the spirits of those who died before you. They have voices, and they will speak, even if you will not listen.

Cleaning up, respecting the dead - burying bones or carcasses of animals is one way to respect and honour the dead (if they want you to, that is). So is picking up litter near a cemetery, or helping the grief stricken friends and family of someone you know who has passed. Learn what to say, and what not to, and read up on death, and its overwhelming history.

Shadow People

☽⦁──────── ⦁⧊⦁ ────────⦁☾

A shadow person (also known as a shadow figure, shadow being or black mass) is the perception of a patch of shadow as a living, humanoid figure, and, interpreted as the presence of a spirit or other entity by believers in the paranormal or supernatural.

☽⦁──────── ⦁⧊⦁ ────────⦁☾

Paranormal Veiwpoints

Shadow people are dark figures associated with nighttime visitations and some haunted places. Shadow people appear as solid black figures who are darker than darkness. Most appear to be male; some wear coats and hats.

They are usually six-and-a-half feet in height. They have substance and form and can interrupt light and block objects from view. Shadow people rarely communicate, but many seem intensely interested in human beings.

Shadow people fall into several categories :

Bedroom Watchers

These figures are discovered standing by a bedside or in a corner of the room when a person awakens in the night. They seem to stare at people in bed, even though they have no visible eyes or facial features. Most do not behave in a threatening manner, though their presence is often terrifying.

They can remain for long periods of time and when observed, disappear suddenly or melt through walls and ceilings. Some act aggressively toward people, causing choking sensations similar to the Old Hag.

Shadows On Walls

These figures appear suddenly as dark human outlines on walls, which detach from walls and move about rooms.

Moving Shadows

These figures appear abruptly and move quickly through a room, as though on a mission. They come through walls and melt into walls. They may seem to pay no attention to people present or else watch them intensely. They may be seen out of the corners of the eyes or in full view.

Background Visitors

These figures usually are not seen, but are captured in photographs. They appear in backgrounds, their forms noticeable on walls, doors, and so forth.

Haunting Presences

These figures appear in places known or thought to be haunted. They move about, act with intelligence, and appear and disappear suddenly. They may follow people. In some cases, shadow people are associated with bad luck

☽⦁──────── ⦁⧊⦁ ────────⦁☾

The Hat Man

The Hat Man appears much in the same way that Shadow People do, but unlike the phenomena that was made popular by Art Bell and Thunder Strikes, the Hat Man encounters bear a few striking differences that set it apart. When he appears, often during the night, the Hat Man is always seen wearing a wide-brimmed hat, and though most people are unable to make out any distinct facial features, he is usually described as a solid black mass. Witnesses are often unable to describe the Hat Man’s lower body, as if he seems to float silently above the ground.

The phenomena seems to center around basements and, according to the experiencers, appears to manifest in situations of intense negativity and family disfunction. In fact, many times if one person in a household has started experiencing visits by the Hat Man, it’s almost guaranteed that another family member will begin seeing the strange shadow man soon afterwards.

☽⦁──────── ⦁⧊⦁ ────────⦁☾

Other Speculations

However, shadow people cannot be equated with the old hag syndrome. An explanation favored by some researchers is that shadow people are interdimensional beings. They find ways into the physical world and seem to have the purpose — unknown—of observing humans. They may show up as bedroom visitors because the nature of human sleeping or dreaming consciousness enables an entry for them.

Their appearance may be a form they deliberately assume, or it may be the only way they can manifest in the physical realm. Many experiencers feel shadow people are a type of nasty spirit, even a deamon, because they sense evil or trickery radiating from them. Almost all experiencers are deeply frightened of shadow people, even though they are not harmed by them.

Shadow people are sometimes associated with turbulent emotions. For example, many people who have had significant shadow people experiences can link them to states of emotional upheavals, such as anger, sadness, loneliness, and so forth.

Other people may be psychically open in such a way as to perceive shadow people more easily than others. Some haunted places where shadow people are prevalent, such as the Waverly Hills Sanitorium where thousands of people died, may be permeated with thought-forms of negative emotions.

Scientific Viewpoints

Several physiological and psychological conditions can account for reported experiences of shadowy shapes seeming alive. A sleep paralysis sufferer may perceive a "shadowy or indistinct shape" approaching them when they lie awake paralyzed and become increasingly alarmed. A person experiencing heightened emotion, such as while walking alone on a dark night, may incorrectly perceive a patch of shadow as an attacker.

Many methamphetamine addicts report the appearance of "shadow people" after prolonged periods of sleep deprivation. Psychiatrist Jack Potts suggests that methamphetamine usage adds a "conspiratorial component" to the sleep deprivation hallucinations.

One interviewed subject said that "You don't see shadow dogs or shadow birds or shadow cars. You see shadow people. Standing in doorways, walking behind you, coming at you on the sidewalk."These hallucinations have been directly compared to the paranormal entities described in folklore.

Sleep Paralysis

Sleep paralysis is when, during waking up or falling asleep, a person is aware but unable to move or speak. During an episode, one may hallucinate (hear, feel, or see things that are not there), which often results in fear. Episodes generally last less than a couple of minutes. It may occur as a single episode or be recurrent.

The condition may occur in those who are otherwise healthy or those with narcolepsy, or it may run in families as a result of specific genetic changes. The condition can be triggered by sleep deprivation, psychological stress, or abnormal sleep cycles. The underlying mechanism is believed to involve a dysfunction in REM sleep. Diagnosis is based on a person's description. Other conditions that can present similarly include narcolepsy, atonic seizure, and hypokalemic periodic paralysis.

Between 8% and 50% of people experience sleep paralysis at some time. About 5% of people have regular episodes. Males and females are affected equally. Sleep paralysis has been described throughout history. It is believed to have played a role in the creation of stories about alien abduction and other paranormal events.

Lunar cycles in a nutshell

Hey witches around the world! Finally we have reached one of my favorite topics in general, lunar cycles are my happiness because of how attached i feel to the moon. So here we go my beautiful people!

New Moon  (i’ll leave the moon phases images at the end) New moon is the time for new beginnings! Time for planning the future and maybe do some changes. You can do this by changing your altar, different kind of spells, get creative. 

Waxing Crescent  Waxing Crescent is the time to grow! Time for bringing your ideas, hopes and intentions in. You can do this by making different activities that remember you what you wanna achieve. 

First Quarter First Quarter is the time to overcome obsticals that are stopping you from achieving what you want.  Great time to try different things in your craft.

Waxing Gibbous  Waxing Gibbous is the time to get better in things you already have learned. You can do this by revising what you have written down in your grimoire/ book of shadows and if need to add something do it now.

Full Moon Full Moon is the time to reflect your achievements in the first half of the lunar cycle. You can also cleanse your crystals and maybe do some rituals for the full moon!

Waning Gibbous Waning Gibbous is the time to give thanks for everything you have and have achieved, you can do this by giving thanks to your ancestors/deities/spirits etc/ or different kind of rituals! 

Third Quarter Third Quarter is the time to accept and let go bad habits/relationships/things that are not positive in your life, whatever they are, its time to let go. I personally take Third Quarter for self care and cutting toxic relationships!

Waning Crescent Waning Crescent is the time to see how much you have achieved during the lunar cycle! If you didn’t achieve everything you wanted, don’t be so hard, you will always have more time and you can always get better at things.

Do other witches dream of a fully functional tea garden of their own? Grapefruit mint is the prettiest mint I have ever grown, and also one of the tastiest. It’s nice to see it mentioned somewhere!

The-Wiccans-Glossary

Bird Symbolism Part 2

This post was made to cover more birds that were requested in my last post. Again this is a disclaimer, if you are always seeing a bird take into account that the bird might just be common in your area. If the bird is doing something out of the ordinary, something looks wrong with it or the bird keeps popping up in other forms like pictures, movies, etc. You should definitely take the bird as an omen

Albatross-new travel opputunties, long trip/voyage/adventure ahead of you, represent the element of water. Astral travel.

Blackbird- development of psychic abilities, time of reflection, great wisdom, listen to your intuition.

Chick-a-dee-happiness, adaptibility, being to gentle, social oppurtunities.

Cuckoo-lies are being told, deceit, something is being hidden, news.

Dove-Christian symbol, peace, hope, new love, and breaking free from a bad situation.

Falcon-seen as a messenger, taking action, ambition, spiritual journey.

Heron-ancient wisdom, independence, self-reliance, reflection, take it slow.

Loon- serenity, time of relaxation, wishes coming true, being haunted by your past, pay attention to your dreams.

Mockingbird-similar to Cuckoo, two-faced friends, lies, defend your territory, confidence.

Osprey- strength, leaving your comfort zone, staying alert and aware, survival.

Peacock-associated with the goddess Hera, show off your talents, be confident, beauty, fun and don’t take things too seriously.

Pigeon-see dove, can represent sacrifice, adapting to new environments.

Turkey-new gifts, family, celebration (Thanksgiving just comes to mind lol), growth, enjoy life.

Wren-creativity, act quickly, artistic, musical talents, the wren is known as the king of birds (weird because they’re so small) so I associate them with power, nobility and confidence.

How to charge your crystals

Disclaimer: there are tons of ways to charge crystals on the internet, these are just my personal preferences. Some might work for you some might not. Also, some of these charge crystals with light energy some with dark. Always do research before trying new techniques!

~Water: spray the crystal, bathe the crystal or bathe with the crystal (use charged water for a greater outcome)

~Smoke: hold your crystal into the smoke (be careful it can become very hot)

~Earth: burry your crystals in a place that gives off some type of magic

~Fire: place your crystals around a campfire or other fire source. (Careful, don't put them too close)

~Wind: hang your crystal like a pendant into a tree or something similar so it can get charged by the fresh breezes

~Sunlight/ Moonlight: let your crystal sit in the light. The power of the sun/ moon that day control the power of the charge (be careful some crystals lose their colour when they're exposed to too much light)

~Blood: bathe your crystal or let blood drip onto it (please be careful when acquiring, only use after a lot of reasearch!)

~Antiques: old things often have a kind of magic in them that can be used to charge crystals just use your instincts for this
