Unpacking Witchcraft - Spell Types

A spell is a manifestation of intents, ingredients, and influences combined to bring about an intangible effect. However, there are a number of different of types of spells, intents, and methods. 

CURSE— A spell designed to cause a person or place harm or misfortune of a grand scale. Occasionally used to protect when it used against a concept, “cursing out” infections and medical problems.

HEX— Commonly thought as similar to a curse, though it comes from a German word for witch. Commonly interpreted as a weaker curse, or a midpoint between a jinx and a curse on a scale of annoying to devastating.

JINX— A spell to cause momentary bad luck or annoyance, but can occasionally come back to bite someone later. Usually paired with irony, or used to bring about the opposite effect of what someone says out loud or hopes for.

BANISHING— A type of spell, designed to get rid of something specific, whether it be a concept, a person, spirit, or otherwise, and to keep it away.

WARDING— A type of protective spell in which you create and put up magical walls, usually against a specific thing, such as spirits or negative people, but could be used for evangelicals and teenagers that theoretically loiter on your lawn.

BINDING— Similar to banishing. Instead of removing a person, object, or situation from your vicinity, you prevent a person or creature from performing a particular action.

GLAMOUR— Often used for beauty spells, are a type of spell used for creating an illusion over a person or object. They can be used for a number of purposes, to make someone more attract, or to make an object harder to find, or a person be more or less likely to be noticed.

CONSECRATION— The ritual blessing of an object or place by cleansing it and instilling with a specific energy. Cannot be done to living creatures.

POTION— Any drink made to have a magical effect.

JAR SPELL— A spell made and contained within a jar, often herb sealed with wax.

🌊Mermaid Magic Spray🐚

Use to attract mermaids, spray on a mermaid altar to give it mermaid vibes and protection, on yourself as a perfume to smell like a mermaid and to give off mermaid vibes, and as an air freshener during mermaid meditation and magic. (It smells absolutely divine, like a sweet, citrus, ocean smell.)

This also makes a great addition to a bath (just make sure to add a carrier oil)

*You can use the plant version of any ingredient instead of the essential oil, if you do this, I recommend making a tea and then straining it so you don’t clog your bottle. Also you don’t have to use every ingredient, if you only have 1 or 2 it’ll still work

🌊Ingredients:

-moon water (or just regular water whatever you want)

-a pinch of sea salt

-opalite/opal, rose quartz, lapis lazuli, or ocean/clear quartz to charge

-a teaspoon of lemon juice (cleansing, lunar energies, healing)

-a teaspoon of vanilla extract (inner peace, meditation, anti-anxiety)

Lavender essential oil (cleansing, relaxation, love, beauty)

Orange essential oil (happiness, healing confidence, energy boost)

Rosemary essential oil (sea magic, mermaid magic, protection, wisdom, concentration)

Ylang-ylang essential oil (mermaid magic, anti-anxiety, happiness, creativity)

🐚Place the ingredients in the spray bottle and charge with the crystal you chose (if you chose lapis lazuli be careful, it’s not water proof)

🐚charge once a month under the full moon if you feel like it needs a boost (this is completely optional)

*if you use just the oil blend please dilute with a carrier oil before you put it on your skin
