Moons & Musings

Hello all!!  The festive season has descended upon us and with that, comes the dreaded social gatherings.... There's always someone be it a relative, family friend or colleague that shouldn't be around other people so, in this post, we will be looking at a way to get someone to go away!  ( Due to the ingredients used, I have put this under the Baneful tag so if this isn't your thing, scroll on or try and adapt it to fit in with your path ) Inspired by @bellamystics on Tiktok  Ingredients   You will need the following: - A jar (preferably of decent size) - A taper/spell candle (colour magick for extra ✨) - Vinegar (to make everything bitter) - Spell water (War, Storm, Eclipse) - Lemon or something sour - Something hot (Hot sauce, chilli powder etc for discomfort and anxiety) - Black pepper (to make sure they walk away) - Something sharp (extra points if rusted) - Banishing oil/herbs - Bay leaf with person's name and petition  - Tinfoil  Step 1 Cl...

So, here we are in the 'season of mists and mellow fruitfulness' (Keats: To Autumn), so we thought that we would look at the symbolism of fog, because, well, why not? Cat has tech issues today, so I am in the driver's seat for a minute! Scientifically , mist or fog is formed as water droplets that hang in the air when cold air and warm, moist air meet. It is commonly found in valleys in Autumn and Spring. Mist is thinner than fog, as such it will dissipate quicker. Technically, fog is when you can see less than half a mile (1,000m) ahead and mist is being able to see up to five miles ahead (1km to 8km). There is a lot of symbolism associated with mist or fog. The most obvious connection in today's world is an association with a state of mental confusion. I am sure that most of us have experienced 'brain fog' at some point. It is very prominent in a number of conditions, including (but not limited to) fibromyalgia, long covid and menopause. I was diagnosed with l...

Hello all!! We are coming back with a bang (not necessarily to regular posting but to some kind of posting) and we are diving into the wonderful ingredient of War Water! NOTE: THIS IS PREDOMINANTLY BANEFUL IF THAT IS NOT YOUR THING, SCROLL AWAY Now that's out of the way, let's have a quick look at what War Water is... What is War Water? War Water is water that is created for a specific purpose like other waters, such as: -  Storm Water -  Sun Water - Moon Water  But War Water is not to be used lightly. It will pack a punch and is very volatile ( even more so depending on what you put into it ).  Believe it or not, War Water actually comes from American witchcraft traditions (particularly Southern) but it is NOT closed as it does not belong to practices like Hoodoo, it mostly stems from European folk magick influences. Folk magick itself may be closed to specific peoples so some specific recipes for War Water may include closed ingredients so do your rese...

Hello all!! Today's post is about Poppets!! DISCLAIMER :  A Poppet is NOT a Voodoo doll, Voodoo is a closed practice so a Poppet is an open alternative! I have mentioned Poppets in a few previous posts so today, we're going to learn about them!! What is a Poppet? A Poppet is a Magickal tool that can be made out of fabric, wood, clay/mud and wax that is used as a physical representation of someone. The word Poppet is actually an older spellings of the word puppet and, as such, a Poppet usually resembles a doll shape. If you're not the crafty type, the shape of the Poppet doesn't really matter as long as the ingredients match your intention and the Poppet has a vague shape  What can I used Poppets for? Poppets can be used for both benevolent and malevolent purposes (which is why this has a Baneful tag) so we'll look at each category individually... Benevolent - Healing/Self healing - Protection - Happiness - Confidence  - Luck - Positive actions in genera...

Hello all!! In today's post, I will be teaching you how to bypass protections, wards, boundaries and the like and how to counter the bypass if this isn't justified! DISCLAIMER : This is mostly for Return To Sender (RTS) Spells and those who can Curse/Hex/Jinx. Only do this if you are truly JUSTIFIED!  Do not do this for no reason or just for "fun", that's not Witchcraft. If someone sends negativity your way and it is NOT justified, a simple RTS should do the trick. Or so you think.... For an RTS or something Baneful for a truly deserving person to actually work, it needs to get to them and, chances are, they may have a few road blocks. This post will tell you how to get around those roadblocks to deliver what is truly justified. Tip 1 - Physically Cross The Barrier Only do this if you have rightful access, do not trespass or break and enter! Create a Spell or charm that is something physical e.g Spell bag/jar or a poppet (more on those later..) and pl...

Hello all!! In a continuation from our previous Lemon post, today, I'm going to teach you about the Lemon Hex, how to do and how to defend!! This is going to be a loooooooong post so feel free to take a few breaks and notes. Before Hexing, up your protections and refresh your wards, even if it's justified it can still be sent back. Make sure you know what you are doing and are prepared! When disposing of Spell work, please be mindful of the Earth and local ecosystems, use biodegradable ingredients where you're able!! Ok, so, there are several variations of this so I will do my best to cover all bases and you can see what works best for you... Method 1 You will need: - 1 Lemon (fresh) - Picture and/or piece of paper with targets name - Pins, Needles - Something to put the Lemon on  On to the Hex... - Cut Lemon in half, either vertically or horizontally  - Place a folded (preferably away from you) picture and/or name of the target you in the middle of your two...

Hello all!! This post is your reminder to check your Jars!! If you have Spell Jars  of any kind, nows the time to check them and look for the following: - Have they changed? - This is important if you have put liquid in them or if you haven't looked at them in a while - Are they damaged? - Damage can occur naturally, depending on materials used or where you leave them e.g in sunlight. If natural damage has been ruled out, it's time to re-do the Jar and up your protections! - Do I still need this? - It's possible that you no longer need one or more of your Jars. Maybe you've finished your schooling and no longer need Jars that are linked to that or you got the job you want. It's ok to repurpose hard that no longer serve you If you have  Wards  or Protections  in the form of Jars, give them a check! Make sure they're not damaged and give them a boost if they need it! Now, if you're a Baneful  practitioner (if not and this is not your thing, scrol...

Hello all!! Today's post will explain the differences between Hexes, Jinxes and Curses!! If Baneful Magicks aren't your thing, look away now!! So, let's start with, Jinx Jinxes are surprisingly, relatively harmless. At the very least, all they will do inconvenience your target, at the most, they will be an annoyance. Jinxes are also temporary but it is possible to set a time period for your Jinx to last for.  Due to the rather timid nature of Jinxes ( compared to the other 2 )  it may be difficult to ascertain whether or not you Jinx has worked unless you are still close to the individual or happen to hear something on the grapevine. The purpose of a Jinx is to try and help you feel better about your situation and is a good practice for the next step up..... Hexes A Hex is comprised of negativity energy that has been sent towards your target, depending on your intentions of course. Like Jinxes, Hexes are temporary but generally last longer depending on the spec...

Hello all!! Today, we're going to have a little discussion about Baneful Magicks!! Before we begin , I'd like to apologise for the lack of a post or warning yesterday. I have stated before that I have medical problems and sometimes I don't get warnings myself but I'm back for now!! I have also figured out how to access the comments on the blog so I will be getting around to those shortly!! Back to the post.... Not everyone is comfortable with using Baneful Magicks and that is perfectly fine!! It isn't everyone's cup of tea for a variety reasons and it is a personal choice, whether you decide to use it or not.  I'm not going to tell you how to Hex , Curse or Jinx in this post, but, I will be doing future posts on them e.g the difference between each and more in-depth posts on each. The reason why I have mentioned them here is because they are part of Baneful practices. Now, Baneful Magicks are very powerful and require a lot of energy to cast. Y...
