Book of Chaos

Tip for my witchcraft practitioners: Keep a little book of chaos around. It should be small and have blank pages (ideally).

The purpose: Every time you notice synchronicity in the universe, every time you have a stray thought or idea, every time you see something you want to add to your BOS/grimoire, write it down. It will get hectic and be messy but that's the point, it's not some overly special book that you need to keep neat and perfect.

I've found that it aids with making decisions on what should and shouldn't go into my official book and allows for me to quickly jot something down when inspiration strikes me. I am also a chronic doodler and thus love the fact that I can draw anywhere I'd like without trying to make it neat. If you're one for junk journaling or mood board pages this would be a great opportunity try out new things without worrying about making it pretty.

You can also use it to record any omens or signs you see for later interpretation. Sigils or servitors can be made on the fly, and thrive off of the chaos in the book.

And once it's finished and has served it purpose, well the next part is up to you. Burn it, keep it, tear out its pages and add it to spell work, use it as a divination tool if you damn well please.

MYCELIA - CARD ZERO

as card 0 of my oracle deck, MYCELIA holds ancient knowledge, learnt from millennias of experience. Rooting around in primordial dirt, MYCELIA is the cycle connecting life to death to life again. As both the beginning and the end of the circle, the place where two meet and become one, MYCELIA holds a multiplicity within and around itself. This card urges you towards connection, spiral-ity, the cycles of life, and to tap into the ebb and flow of energy all around you. This card serves as your reminder to acknowledge all you have done to get to where you are today. MYCELIA knows the journey was and continues to be hard. Despite this, MYCELIA knows you have the power within and around you to keep growing, exploring, and connecting.

Witchcraft: Tools

Bones:

It is essential to find animal bones in an ethically sourced manner. Bones have been apart of us and magic itself always. These rigid organs are used in forms of offerings, animism, grounding, cleromancy, and osteomancy.

Charms:

Very dependent on the shape of the charm, many practitioners adorn their magical possessions with charms. (I.e a heart charm in a sachet representing romance.) From ancient Europe to Asia, jewelry and charms were tossed from baskets onto a soft surface for divination. There is also a process called charming, which is imbuing an object with a particular energy.

Coffin Nails:

Coffin Nails are utilized in witchcraft for warding, mourning, baneful magic, and death work in general. Coffin Nails represent the security of one’s physical body, as it seals us off from danger.

Coins:

Coins are utilized as offerings, charms, runes, and ways to honor deities and ancestors. Coins are also added to money bowls. Coins represent Fortune and Wealth.

Feathers:

Each Bird has a different magical significance, so the magical properties of a bird can be both interpreted from that as well as Color Magic. Feathers themselves embody the element of Air and are great for Cleansing.

Horseshoes:

Horseshoes have been hung over doorways for at least a few centuries. This tradition not only attracts luck and fortune, but wards your space from negative energy.

Iron Pikes:

Iron Pikes come from the railroads that trains run across. These Iron Pikes are often already rusted, and imbued with the intentions of protection and warding.

Keys:

Old keys have been used by many and have unlocked doors many times. Each time you use a key, visualize you unlocking and harnessing potential opportunity, closure, openings, journeys, protection, safety, warding, and security.

Leaves:

Leaves magically represent growth, transformation, nourishment, change, development, and can be used to draw sigils upon.

Seeds:

Seeds not only magically symbolize fertility, but potential, growth, wealth transformation, and fortune. One can use Nuts, Pits, Seeds, or Acorns in wealth, luck, and growth spells, or as a charm.

Shells:

Cowrie shells were once one of the most common forms of global currency. African traditions use Cowrie Shells for Divinatory purposes since Ancient times. Shells embody fertility, sensuality, wealth, life, and spirit.

Sticks:

Sticks not only embody the Earth, but can be used for Wands, Besoms, Crafts, or in place of bones in Osteomancy. You can use any kind of wood you like including cinnamon and driftwood.

Stones:

The gorgeous and delicate simplicity of one of the Earth’s greatest forms of matter not only provides grounding energy, but can be used and imbued for many other purposes as well.
