[grabs your shirt] listen. listen to me. the practical is holy. the everyday is sacred. the simple act of surviving is divine. do you get it? sanctity begins at home, in the hands that build and the lives we live and the deaths we die and the worms that eat our bodies. if making something by hand is not worthy of veneration then nothing is.
Chromomancy is the practice of using colors in magic in any form, although many use the term specifically for shifting the colors of the vibrations around you. Chromomancy can also be used with clothing items, weaving, craftsmanship, baking or cooking, home decorations, artwork, sigils and spells, and candle colors (Which can be very helpful for the broom closeted).
Shades:
Whites:
Purification, positivity, cleansing, light, banishment, healing, Innocence, radiance, revitalization, cold energies, Lunar energies, and can also be used for any intention.
Deep-seated matters, the subconscious, protection, banishment, baneful magic, inner strength, emotions, purification, and can also be used for any intention.
With the stormy weather coming to the Texas/Oklahoma/Arkansas in the next few days, I decided to work on a storm protection spell to ease my mind. I hope this is useful for y'all!
materials:
jar (i recommend a jar that’s more short-and-wide, as opposed to tall-and-narrow).
blue candle, to represent water
yellow candle, to represent thunder and lightning
black candle, to absorb damage
white candle, to represent heavy winds
dirt from your home, to represent stability
a print-out of your home, or address written on a piece of paper, or anything else to represent your home (in my case, i used a flower that matches the name of my street)
something to tie into knots - twine, a small piece of rope, thread, etc (something small enough to fit into your jar)
instructions:
1. cleanse your space/your materials; meditate on your intentions; open your circle — just prep for your spell work however you typically prep.
2. arrange your area like so:
the idea is to make your space mimic the symbol for air (🜁)
3. place the dirt in the bottom of your jar. on top of it, place the item(s) that represent your home.
4. next, you’ll light your blue candle. imagine the water from a rainstorm pouring down all around you. imagine the sound and smell of the rain.
5. next, light the yellow candle. imagine the bright flashes of lightning, followed by the booming thunder that accompanies it.
6. next, you’ll light your white candle — imagine the howling winds, whipping all around you and making your house creak.
7. now, you’ll take your rope, and knot it three times, saying with each knot: “You are bound from wrecking devastation. Let there be no hesitation in turning your force away.”
8. drop the rope in your jar, saying: “Danger be contained that my beloved home may be unscathed until this peril passes.”
9. close your jar tightly. now, take your black candle, light it, and allow a few drops of wax to fall on the jar. place the candle on top of your jar, and allow all the candles to burn through. if you’d like, you can meditate during this point and imagine all the elements (water, thunder, and the wind) around your home, with the black candle absorbing all the damage and negativity.
10. after the candles have burnt out, place the jar somewhere dark and secure (like a closet or bathroom cabinet) until the storm has passed.
11. after the storm has passed, take your jar, open it back up, and place it in the sun for 3 days, allowing the sun to “dry up all the rain”. after the 3 days, you may discard what’s inside the jar and re-purpose it (i recommend using it to store some kind of water — moon water, sun water, rain water, snow water, etc!)
it’s perfectly okay to change your mind. sometimes the ritual doesn’t line up with how you feel anymore. sometimes you feel pulled in a new direction. it’s all normal.
there’s intense and powerful magic in research. in learning. that doesn’t always mean hours in the library, but it does often mean logging off and learning about your native environment.
let your grimoire be messy. let it contradict itself. add things that are interesting but don’t really have a place yet. it’s your book, and you can always keep going in another one once this book is full.
you will learn upsetting things about parts of your practice. this is mostly for white- and otherwise privileged- witches; it’s important to recognize that the modern witchcraft, occult, and new age movements have a long history of stealing from closed cultures, from marginalized practitioners, and creating synthetic histories to explain modern inventions. if a fellow practitioner presents information like this to you about one of your practices, i implore you to take it to heart. learning more about the origins of your ritual and altering them, removing them, and providing reparations where appropriate are important, vital parts of connecting with your practice.
you may work with deities, you may not. same with spirit, the fae, ancestors, and all other aspects of craft. other people may work with forces you aren’t familiar with or that you struggle to believe in, that’s normal. do more research, talk with other practitioners, accept “no” and “i don’t have the energy to educate you” for what they are: boundaries. trying to subvert them will only hurt you both.
discourse isn’t worth your time. it just isn’t.
not every practitioner is a witch, not every witch is a practitioner. the labels we use to describe our work are historically charged, as magic so often is. what feels good to you may hurt another person, and vice versa.
magic is often closer to jazz than to a well-rehearsed symphony. plan accordingly. learn to improv in each key. learn the core elements of your practice and build from there.
consent. consent. consent. all magic that may touch another being requires it, not just love or romantic magic. healing? get consent first. divination? consent. make sure your subject knows what they’re consenting to. check in often. (think of it like a tea party. you invite them, and they come or they don’t. you offer them tea, they may want it or not. if they aren’t able to respond when you ask, you don’t pour them tea. if they hurt you or something you love, you might throw tea in their face.)
self-care is more than baths and deep breathing. it can be therapy, medication, boundary-setting, any number of really hard things. you deserve that care, though. other people do, too.
A compiled list of protection correspondences I’ve gathered. As a baby witch it is recommended along with grounding and centering to learn how to protect yourself as part of your early learning.
