To Call A Lost Pet

To call a lost pet

Place some of your pets favorite food in your pets familiar bowl , light a blue candle next to it and say:

My fair beauty gone astray Please come back to me today. With my yearning heart and wonder please come back to me from yonder.

Leave the candle to burn down, or snuff it out when your pet returns.

—Gillian Kemp

Disposing of Spell Materials

sometimes after performing a spell, you find yourself wondering, hmm, what do i do with these ingredients? the way you clean up or put away your materials can be its own step in the ritual, and affect the spell. here are some suggestions for the different ways to end rituals or properly dispose of the materials 

consider first:

📦keep it - consider if the spell seems like something you could ever possible need to reverse later. that love-attraction jar may invite people you don’t like, and need to be ended, but it’s more difficult without the original materials. keep the ingredients in a jar, box, or something, (maybe label it too) so you can easily nullify the spell if you need to.

✉wrap it up - in a jar or a pouch, if it is a spell you want to last a long time, gather the ingredients you won’t be reusing and keep them in a place you

🏺jar spells - just keep the materials in the sealed jar. this is the sort of spell that can be reused simply by shaking the jar, lighting a new candle for it or recharging its energy. 

🔔cleanse and reuse - obviously you don’t want to throw your crystals or jars out after a single spell. separate the materials used and cleanse them individually, cutting the ties to the spell. 

now what do i do with it?

🔥it’s been burned to ash - for banishing place it on the back doorstep and sweep it out into the wind. for releasing its energies and inviting influence, release the ashes into running water, given it is safe to return to nature (non glass, nonplastic nontoxic, biodegradable etc)

🕸bound objects - bury or keep in a box somewhere, burial for spells you will never remove, hiding for things you may undo one day. 

🛡protective spells - best hung up or hidden in a corner of the house, or place over the front door of the residence. 

☣non-biodegradable materials - if its something you can’t safely return to nature, and it can’t be reused because it was burned or broken, use the acting of burning or breaking to move the spell’s energies into the world. properly throw out or recycle the objects.

🗡️ Jinxes, Hexes, & Curses 🗡️

🗡️  JINXES -  quick-lasting, harmless but mean-spirited.

nox - a spell to end a source of light or positivity

your heart in my hand -  to send someone nightmares and to feel a general sense of being lost in life

burn your wishes - a simple curse to destroy someone’s wishes

spell of shattered sight -  a spell that makes a person only see the most ugly aspects of themselves and others around them

🗡️ HEXES - mal-intended spells with temporary effects. 

burst your bubble -  a simple curse to destroy someone’s ego/hope

hex for a player -  a curse from scorned lovers to the one breaking hearts, to give them difficulty finding anyone to be with romantically/sexually

cerberus hex - attacks what hurts things under plutonic protection spell

breezeblocks curse -  to affect someone you resent for leaving

pumpkin head - seasonal hex to “burn” those who wrong you

bad moon rising - a revenge curse, general misfortune for a month

🗡️ CURSES - intense, powerful and long lasting.  

to sink a sailor -  to symbolically drown someone 

marooned sailor curse -  a curse to strand them alone in life. 

avada kedavra - a curse not to kill, but to make the target feel death’s presence in their life. 

imperius curse -  to make the intended feel helpless, that things in their life are out of their power and control

cruciatus curse  - to create pain in the life of the intended, whether physical or emotional

seven devils curse -  a curse to burn the kingdom of and haunt the target

thorn in my side - a curse for abusers

red in your ledger - to return the hurt someone has done

if you take issue with cursing, jinxing, or hexing, that is your craft, but please do not add onto this post telling witches not to curse because “karma”, “the three fold law” or whatever.  mind your own craft. 

for the safe return of a lost pet

(a spell for helping reunite lost pets with their owners, specifically to be cast when you see a lost pet flyer)

you will need:

pebbles (small and light, not big or heavy), this is the final spell object puzzle dust (the powder that remains in a jigsaw puzzle box), for solving problems *or use anything that invokes the energy of solving problems and/or connecting* orange peel & cinnamon, for the sense of home grass clippings & a map piece, for navigation catnip & a stick or bone, to represent domesticated animals white salt (any kind will work), for protection a bowl to put it all in (a deep bowl or cauldron is best, must be able to withstand hot water) a piece of paper inscribed with a sigil (feel free to use anything here. original sigil (not shown): “bring this loved one safely home, but protect it while it must roam”) hot, almost boiling, water (any water will do, but charged waters may help)

combine everything (except the sigil and water) in the bowl. charge with intent, imagining the feeling of being reunited, feeling at home and warm and safe. think of your own pet, especially if they’ve been lost before. remember pets from your past. (the key is you want both the feeling of home and the feeling of emptiness to be present here) channel that energy into the bowl, chanting the following: “be warm, be safe, and find your way.” slowly pour the hot water over everything. 

let the bowl sit while the water cools. play with a pet, watch cat videos, just do something that warms your heart by way of animals! once the water is cool to the touch, retrieve the pebbles and set them in a window to dry and seal. sunlight and moonlight are both great for this part (and yes, either one works!)

keep these in your bag, pocket, or car (wherever you are when you see the most lost pet flyers). when you see a post adorned with one, toss one of the pebbles near it (as close as you can is fine) to cast. 

***note: this concept can be used to make bigger rocks that can be placed/buried under the flyer, particularly for those instances where the pet has been missing for a long time, or there is less chance of finding it (common with “aggressive/dangerous” breeds or black cats)***
