If you’re looking for an upbeat way to spend the day, may I recommend not listening to theremin music while watching a snow storm from a solarium. Beautiful as it may be, there is an unshakable eeriness about it.
But, if I can’t convince you otherwise, I love this video….

The Dream Key
Peer through the looking glass – into the mind – and cast an eye to the dreamscape. A witch has a thousand eyes, and through this one, the dreams of others might be seen or affected. Use it wisely. Scratch identical sigils on two slips of paper and stash them between the pillows to share dreams – or place under a scrying surface (water works best) to walk in their mind.
It’s that time of the year – Valentine’s Day. While sure,
you could spend your time beheading temple priests who wed Christian couples in
the true(?) vein of the season, I’m sure most of us will be conforming to the
more secular (capitalist) depiction of the “holiday.” For those trying to land
yourselves a beloved – or just impress the one you have, I’ve compiled a few
spells and charms to aid in the process.
Glowing Glamour
Finely Powder:
Onion Peel
Egg Shells (washed and dried)
Cinnamon
Rose (red, pink, coral)
Cardamom
Caraway – if you want more of a lusty influence
For those with a darker complexion, feel free to add varying
amounts of cocoa to meet your tone!
Also – when I say finely,
I actually mean: absolutely obliterate the stuff! Forego the mortar and pestle
and hop straight to the spice/coffee grinder. You want as fine a powder you can
possibly get.
To use, sit before the mirror and apply as generously or
sparingly as you see fit, speaking/visualizing/commanding that you have an air
of warmth to soften even the hardest of hearts.
Luck in Love Charm
Take (2) copper coins (such as a penny) and adorn them in
oil or perfume to match your intent – I recommend my Attraction Oil. Place the
first coin face-up and drop red wax upon it. Acting swiftly, place a rose petal in
the wet wax. Again, drip the wax, now upon the petal – using it to cement the
other coin face down so that the faces look to one another. Place in a small,
red bag worn about the neck or drop it into your left shoe.
Seven-Knot Ribbon
1 —– 2 —– 3 —– 1 —– 3 —– 2 —– 1
Cut a length of red ribbon, and sit before a candle. On the
first day, place one knot at the center and one on either edge of the ribbon –
let the candle burn 1/3 of the way down, tie the cord around your (left) wrist –
ensuring another knot is not place upon it permanently. On the second day, tie
another knot 1/3 of the way from the edge to the center knot on both sides –
the knots should number 5. Tie the cord into your hair or about the neck and
let the candle burn another 1/3. On the third day, finish the cord by placing a
knot on either side between the newest and middle knot, allowing the candle to
burn all the way out. Tuck the ribbon into your underwear to draw love to you.
7-Day Candle Drawing
To draw a specific person, secure a personal affect – in this
case, hair is the best – and upon a square of paper write (without lifting your
pen) your own name and the name of he/she you wish to draw to you into a
circle. It doesn’t have to be pretty, don’t worry – and you may wish to forego
dotting the “i”s and crossing the “t”s. Fold the paper in half so that the
names are face-to-face (ideally, the paper should be folded from corner to furthest
corner – forming a triangle, but don’t sweat it too much). Sandwich the
personal affect (along with one of your own) between the names – if you’re
using hair, twist your hair around his/hers. Place upon this a 7-Day Candle –
Our Lady of Guadalupe is fine – and light.
Allow the candle to burn until it has almost reached its end.
Remove the paper and drop it into the flame. Allow the candle to burn the rest
of the way – love is on its way.

I had an interesting dream last night that involved a man trying to sell me into sex slavery, so I knocked him over the head, drug him by the ankles and sold HIM – all while Santeria by Sublime was playing.
I couldn’t help but laugh, but I woke up feeling like I had a broken rib.
I’m just curious if you’ve had similar experiences.
I’ve eaten them before
Aye, I can only imagine how terrible the nausea must have been! From what I understand, it’s the seed hulls that cause it – hence why I go by route of tea, where they are ground, steeped and strained out (along with that horrifying, aloe vera-like gel that comes with it).
I actually really don’t enjoy anything about the experience. The tea is one of the most horrid tasting things (near wormwood), it makes you sick or at least like you might be – BUT I have found it effective. Especially with Spirit Work.
Basically, there’s no way I’d ever take it recreationally, but for witchcraft? Yes.
Yeah the nausea was shit. I got rid of as much as I could but tasting anything seedy makes me feel a little urpy.
I was also taking Hydrocodone at the time.
If I had a better way to take it then maybe. The taste of it is burned into my sense memory .
It was an interesting experience.
This is an interesting subject… I have heard of various herbs being used for magical works like this, but never really caught any of the names. Are they hard to get a hold on?
@dulcis-infernus Yeah, the taste was awful and what’s even worse about drinking it as tea is that 1) it has to be cold infused, as heat and light destroy the LSA, and 2) You have to use an acid – i.e. lemon juice or vinegar. In retrospect, I suppose orange juice probably would have been a better choice (given the taste and the connotation) – unfortunately, I don’t much care for it, either.
I wonder if steeping it with ginger would ease the nausea or if it would counteract. Hmm.
I’ve also read that you can use alcohol, but that taste mixed with alcohol just makes me skin crawl even thinking about it.
@the-dark-sorcerer If my memory serves, the use of morning glory as an entheogen goes back to the Aztecs – sacred to Xochipilli. While the seeds themselves are easy to get a hold of, good seeds are a little trickier. Ideally they should be organic and pesticide-free, but also relatively fresh. The seeds are pretty small and you need a lot (in the hundreds) to get any effect. I think some also say Hawaiian baby woodrose are better, but they’re harder to get your hands on.
Either way, I certainly wouldn’t recommend them unless you’re extremely desperate. In the years since I tried them the first time, I’ve only used them once and have no intention of taking them any time soon.
