🪬 The Art of Spellwork & Divination

Welcome to your sacred initiation. This guide is here to walk with you through the basics of spellwork and divination—tools that have always belonged to us. Rooted in ancestral wisdom and practical magic, every candle lit and word written is a conversation with the unseen world. Let’s begin, slowly and with purpose.

📜 Petitions & Spiritual Writing

A petition is more than a note—it’s a spiritual letter to your team on the other side. It carries intention, direction, and heart. Use brown paper (grocery bag paper works perfectly). Write clearly. Fold with intention:

Only ask the ancestors who lived the kind of life that supports your request. Don’t call your sweet grandma into some messy hexing unless she was about that life. Instead, call on the warrior ancestors. The ones who fought, survived, and protected. Ask them to guide you in what kind of help you actually need.

🕯️ Candle Magic & Flame Reading

Candles are messengers. The flame, color, and smoke all tell a story. Choose your candle color according to your goal:

🌿 Herbs, Roots & Spices

Our ancestors worked with what they had. Many of our most powerful tools are already in your kitchen or garden. Here are some core botanicals used in Hoodoo, witchcraft, and folk magick:

🍯 Sweetening & 🧪 Sour Jars

Sweetening jars are used to soften attitudes, attract sweetness, and ease tension. Sour jars, on the other hand, are for justice, boundary enforcement, and returning energy to sender.

🛁 Spiritual Baths

To shift energy quickly and thoroughly, take a spiritual bath. Pray over the water. Add salt, herbs, and essential oils. Air dry if possible. Dispose of the water with respect—at a crossroads, by a tree, or down the drain depending on the intention.

🛡️ Protection Work

❄️ Freezer Spells

To silence gossip, stop attacks, or put drama on pause—freeze it. Write the name or situation, fold it with herbs, and place it in the freezer. This is temporary. Be specific about your goal.

🪞 Mirror Spells & Poppets

Mirror spells are for reflection or reversal. If someone is sending negativity, reflect it back. Poppets are personal figures used to influence behavior—bless, protect, or bind depending on how you use them. Always treat these tools with spiritual seriousness.

🔥 Disposing & Recharging Spells

Repeat spells when instructed by your dreams, ancestors, or if results are blocked. Cleanse yourself before redoing anything. Don’t force it. Ask for new instructions if your answer is still no.

📖 Bible-Based Spellwork

The Bible was never theirs to gatekeep. Use Psalms like spells. Psalm 91 is for protection. Psalm 23 brings peace and prosperity. Start while in prayer: with an open heart, ask for guidance. Close your eyes and while in prayer, open the Bible at random and place your finger on a verse. Starting reading where your finger is placed. That’s your divine message.

🌑 Shadow Work

Want to grow? Do the inner work. Shadow work reveals your triggers, habits, wounds, and unhealed patterns. It’s not always pretty, but it’s powerful. Explore your past, release reactions, and reclaim your story. Check the free shadow workbook on this site to start your healing path.

Your magic is not in the tools—it’s in you. The tools just help you focus it. Speak boldly, walk wisely, and stay rooted.

🌙 Moon Phases & Spell Timing

The moon is one of the most powerful allies in spellwork. Aligning your rituals with the lunar cycle magnifies intention and results. Each phase carries its own vibration. Here’s how to work with it:

📅 Weekly Spell Timing

Each day of the week has planetary rulership and energy flow. Use these to fine-tune your work:

🔮 Ritual Calendar (Monthly Guide)

Plan your spellwork by using the following monthly themes. This is a general guide based on seasonal energy and traditional alignments:

🌍 Working with the Four Elements

Nature is a co-conspirator in your spellwork. Each of the four elements—Earth, Air, Fire, and Water—offers unique support for your intentions. When balanced, they empower your rituals with stability, transformation, insight, and flow.

Incorporate all four elements on your altar or in your rituals for full energetic harmony. You are made of them—and you can command them with reverence.

🌌 The Solar System in Spellwork

Each planet in our solar system carries a distinct energy—just like a spirit. Use planetary alignment to enhance your spells. These cosmic bodies influence timing, focus, and depth of energy in your work.

Track planetary transits and retrogrades for deeper alignment. Even the stars know your name—so call on them when you cast.
