We might have discovered a witch bottle in our back yard!
Dan and I were doing some yard work a few days ago since the sun was out and it was a gorgeous day. Our house is over 100 years old and near the back of the property every spring Dan goes back to pick up whatever broken glass he can find. When the ground freezes and thaws over the winter it pushes up glass, bottle caps, and other items to the surface. Dan found quite a bit of glass, among the glass he found was a weird little bottle full of dirt and residue of some kind.
The lid was gone and we have some evidence that it was probably either rubber or cork and likely rotted away, but there were a couple items inside, and one of them in particular was pretty standard in old traditional witch bottles! A couple of the pieces of glass were the bottoms of bottles so I was able to do a bit of research online and have figured that much of the glass in the back of the yard is probably early 1920's, to 1940's-50's. We live in a small town, back when this house was built it was still pretty rural, so it's possible that some of the Ozark witchcraft and folk magic traditions were still in practice at the time.
I decided to do a video to share it with you guys. I’ll also show you how to make your own witch bottle for protection. A witch bottle is a traditional method for home protection that goes back centuries, these have been found in archaeological digs in America and Europe. It’s a traditional folk magic protection spell that’s easy enough for beginners and uses simple ingredients. The witch bottle was specifically used to ward against baneful magic.
Did we really find a witch bottle? I’ll tell you my thoughts and walk you through step-by-step while I make one.
I hope you enjoy it!
Be Your Magic!

Lemon and Salt Uncrossing Spell With Simple Ingredients
Uncrossing and Hex Breaking
What does it mean to be under a crossed condition and how do
you uncross yourself? Being crossed means that you’re surrounded by some
baneful energies that seem to be stopping your success and throwing a monkey
wrench into your everyday life. We need to remember that not everything that
appears to be unfortunate means that we’re crossed. Sometimes an event that
seems bad at the time turns out to be good later on, like the person who’s
alarm clock didn’t work so they were running late, but as a result missed being
involved in a big accident on the highway. One or two negative experiences in
life doesn’t necessarily add up to being hexed, but if your having lots of unexplained
things happen in a row and it has your witch senses on high alert, it might be
a good idea to do some quick divination work to determine if you are under a crossed
condition.

a good idea to do some quick divination work to determine if you are under a crossed
condition.
All kinds of situations can lead to a crossed condition, the
first one that everyone thinks of is a hex cast by someone with a grudge. That
can and does happen, but more often we see crossed conditions as a result of
random people sending hate without realizing that they’re doing it. The evil
eye can also cause a crossed condition. The evil eye is a kind of hex cast when
someone glaring upon you with purposeful hate and jealousy. Another way to end
up in a crossed condition is to cross yourself. That’s right, you can
definitely cross yourself up, it can happen to anyone, I’ve done it myself. If
you’ve been dwelling on the negative or focusing on a doom and gloom mindset
those energies can accumulate, weighing you down and causing chaos around you. An uncrossing spell removes the effects of
what might be a hex. You don’t have to know for sure that you’re hexed to use
one of these spells. If it is a hex, an uncrossing spell will send the hex
boomeranging back to the sender, if there wasn’t a specific hex, the energies
of the crossed condition will simply dissipate.

Lemon and Salt Uncrossing Spell
This is my go-to spell with things get wonky. If I end up
with a weird run of crazy bad luck, you’ll see me at the grocery store with a
few lemons and a new box of salt in my cart. This one is a simple spell that
uses only a couple ingredients to break up the power of baneful magic, heavy
energy, or even the evil eye.

uses only a couple ingredients to break up the power of baneful magic, heavy
energy, or even the evil eye.
You’ll need:
About 1 cup of salt
One lemon.
A cutting board, small plate, and a sharp knife.
You'll find the whole spell here in my video:
Cut the ends off the lemon far enough into the fruit that
you can see inside the peel to the actual fruit and dispose of the ends. Cut
the lemon into five wagon wheels. Sprinkle the plate with about ¼ of the salt
and arrange the lemon slices in a circle on the plate. Trace a pentagram shape
in the air over the top of the lemon using the center of each slice as a point
on the pentagram.

and arrange the lemon slices in a circle on the plate. Trace a pentagram shape
in the air over the top of the lemon using the center of each slice as a point

Visualize the baneful energy all around you, within your
aura, and in every corner of your home and life as you hold your hands over the
plate of lemon slices about two feet above it. Move your hands down towards the
lemon over and over creating a tide of energy to pull down any energy crossing
you to be captured in the lemon, as you do chant the following incantation
until you feel that all the negativity has been pulled in:

lemon over and over creating a tide of energy to pull down any energy crossing
you to be captured in the lemon, as you do chant the following incantation
until you feel that all the negativity has been pulled in:
“All sour energies you can’t resist
Your hold over me shall now untwist
Drawn to this lemon like moth to a flame
Bound here by my will, trapped and lame.”
When you feel that you have pulled in all the negativity
within the lemon begin pouring the salt over the tops of the lemon slices and
seal it with the following incantation:
within the lemon begin pouring the salt over the tops of the lemon slices and
seal it with the following incantation:
“I am uncrossed! I am uncrossed!
I seal you in with blessed salt!
No escape for you foul energy,
As this lemon dries up so I am free!”
Place the plate somewhere that it will be undisturbed and
allow the lemon to dry in the salt. Check it occasionally, it won’t hurt to
lift up a slice and peer underneath to see how it’s going. If the lemon dries
out then you’re work is finished and you can dispose of the contents of the
plate into a brown bag and toss it in your outside trash can on trash day. If
you see mold or mildew on your lemon then dispose of it and repeat the spell
with a new lemon and try using extra salt. Do not compost this spell, all that
salt won’t do your garden any good. It’s a good idea to follow this spell up
with some protection magic of your choice to ward against future hexes or
crossing.

Imbolc House Blessing Ritual, Easy Ritual for Beginners, Simple Ingredients
Wow! I hav en't showed my mug on YouTube in a bit! I've been nursing my back but I was really happy to be feeling well enough to get this video done for Imbolc!
This is the Imbolc house blessing ritual is easy for beginners with simple ingredients. I’ve been doing this one every year for 20+ years and I added my Imbolc sigil as a free download (download the file from the description on YouTube) and decided to share it with all of you. It’s super easy so it’s a great ritual for beginners, but it’s also a lovely practice for seasoned witches and pagans. If you’re looking for ways to celebrate Imbolc, you’ll love this one. It just takes a candle for every room in your house and your intention. I have included the sigil, some easy kitchen witch herbs, incense, and if you ordered my Imbolc flamecasks this year you can include one in this ritual, but you don’t have to, it’s just an option.
You can use the free sigil (for personal use only) for this ritual or feel free to include it in your own ritual or spell. If you’re a flamekeeper for the Goddess Brigid this sigil would make a nice label for you flamekeeping shifts as well, or add it to your Grimoire/Book of Shadows.
We shot the beautiful candles in the snow a couple weeks ago. I couldn't bendo over, So Dan arranged them as per my direction, then I put my phone on a selfie stick and held it upside down to get the shots. it was real teamwork. I'm sure our neighbors weren't quite sure what to think of us!
My son even got into the act, he's got a good sense of humor so I always know I can count on him for some shenanigans.
I hope you enjoy it!
Blessed Imbolc,
Mickie

GUIDED MEDITATION to BOOST YOUR WITCH POWERS! Mirror Meditation 2020
Guided Meditation to boost your witch powers. Mirror
Meditation 2020 This guided meditation is the second of The Witch’s Meditation
Studio Series. This meditation was inspired by my book The Witch’s Mirror, The
Craft, Lore, and Magick of the Looking Glass. After I finished writing and it went
to my publisher (Llewellyn Worldwide) I was still coming up with more ways to
use mirrors in magic, more methods, and more spells. I presented some of that
information as a workshop for people who attended some of my book signings
called "Expanding the Witch's Power Through Mirror Magic." Now I decided to share it here on YouTube for
those of you who didn’t get to attend a workshop, or those of you who did, now
you can use this powerful meditation anytime you want!

those of you who didn’t get to attend a workshop, or those of you who did, now
you can use this powerful meditation anytime you want!
First find a quiet
place where you will be undisturbed for the length of this meditation. You may
sit comfortably or lay down if you prefer. One of the more obscure tools in a
witch’s bag of tricks is the mysterious mirror. Long considered a portal to
other realms, the mirror has a rich history of magical uses. In this meditation
you’ll use visualization and your reflection to awaken strength, confidence,
and the power that comes from within, not granted by some outside entity, but
rather discovered and unearthed from within yourself. You may choose to close your eyes, or you may
meditate on the candle flame if you wish.

I have set up an altar space for your meditation.
Included on the altar are representations of power and your
solar plexus chakra. A white candle in the lotus blossom holder is dressed with
my own blended Crown of Success oil, ginger, and a few threads of saffron and
sits on a mirror to double the power. The incense in the cauldron is
sandalwood. Stones both for success and associated with your solar plexus
chakra include tiger eye, citrine, lemon quartz, rutilated quartz. I’ve also
included my self-healing quartz, a stone that broke at sometime during it’s
structure was being formed and then healed itself as it grew. There’s a small
grapevine pentagram, adding abundance that we all need to pursue our dreams. I’ve
included bay leaves for both inner vision and success and high john the conqueror
root for success, power and an extra magical boost.

Whether you choose to meditate gazing at the flame or with
closed eyes, you will benefit from the energy. I’m a Reiki Master/Teacher and
I’ve charged this meditation with Reiki energy to assist you on your journey to
open up to your witches power.
