NewB Tips & Spells without candles or incense

[SpiritTalker]

Substitutions that pay attention to elemental symbolism are quite do-able. Substitute battery candles for live flame, the symbolism is obvious & battery makes electricity that is the Fire element. Substitute aerosol mist for incense; DIY with light salt-water & lemon juice or tea 🫖

Prepare a Workspace
. Sweep & straighten up in general, mist with aerosol
. Meditate in your planned area a few times before setting up gear & project good vibes for a clean slate to work on
. Purify the table with a salt-water wipe before setting up gear, bless it with aerosol or incense, anoint with oil to hold a charge & magnetize 🙌🏽 with power
. Tools - the🗡 blade commands & a 🪄wand invites, both represent the God; the cup 🍷charges potions & represents the Goddess; A pentacle ⭐️ protects and charges offerings & spells; Incense🥢 or aerosol sets a mood, purifies & is an offering
. See topic “altar arrangements” viewtopic.php?f=163&t=38981

Sacred Space
. Place your gear within the planned work area; start & end each pass at north
. Broom sweep 🔄; mist with aerosol; 👉🏼 point-&-push to cast circle ↩️
. Air-draw an invoking pentagram ↙️🌟 to begin and, when your tasks are done, end with a banishing pentagram ↗️⭐️ & ground yourself

For LED candle spells, instead of dressing the candle with oil, anoint and magnetize a sigil or petition paper & slip it under the LED🕯. Set the timer. When it times out the spell’s done. You can re-use the LED again & again. Shred the sigil at a liminal hour - dawn, noon, dusk, midnight - to release its power.
. To Make a Sigil - write your intent in a few words, cross out vowels & duplicate consonants. Make a hieroglyph from the remaining letters & draw a circle around it.✂️ Cut out the encircled glyph. This is your sigil.
. To Make a Petition - use a small piece of paper. List the goal 3 times one below the other. Turn the paper 1/4 turn & overwrite it with the recipient’s name 3 times. Turn the paper 1/4 turn & overwrite all with your name three times.

All purpose incantation inspired by the Witch’s Rune - “Earth, water, air & fire, work Ye now as I desire. X I now acquire, by earth, water, air & fire.“
