How to Make your Witchcraft Practice Practical

[@LucasStaley]

Babe wake up, Aunt Frankie is back

[@MoonlitBookworm73]

I’m a closeted neurodivergent witch, so oftentimes making my practice easy can be hard. Idk if my tactics will help anyone, but here’s some I use: - Dedicating showers to deities and/or using them as a way to cleanse - Drawing sigils/symbols into lotions, moisturizers, etc - Wearing jewelry dedicated to certain deities - Wearing a specific color or outfit in honor of a specific deity - Charming jewelry with protection. I charmed it once, and now all I do is rarely energetically “reset” it. - Recently I’ve been veiling more with handkerchiefs/bandanas, but hoodies, hairties, ribbons, jewelry, and so many other things also work. - I have a pouch on my lanyard and I usually keep a few small crystal fragments in there with protection, luck, or whatever else I need - If I feel like I need to cleanse my room, I open my windows and let fresh air in. It’s inconspicuous and if I really need to smoke cleanse, it’s a good way to allow me to use smoke without it harming me (asthma) or my pets - If you have an iPhone, you can add a moon phase widget to your Lock Screen to help you keep track of the current moon phase. There’s also several good websites out there - Adding magick to my hobbies. I dance and sing, so sometimes I dedicate those to Lord Apollo or Lady Aphrodite. When I crochet, I weave intent into my stitches.

Thank you so much for this!

Any recommendations for the moon phase ones?

@@Amethyst77710 Labrinthos is a tarot app that also has a moon phase tracker. Moonly is another app I’ve heard good reviews about.

[@TessConnellan]

I'm already creating a list like this RIGHT NOW to help with my mental health via magick, thank you for even more inspiration!

[@MoonlitBookworm73]

@@Amethyst77710 Labrinthos is a tarot app that has the moon phases in it. I believe “My Moon Phase” and “Moonly” are good as well

[@RamenHairedChild]

The intro was so funny for some reason. It was like you dramatically and delicately making coffee with everything super organized and then it just says "Chaotic Witch Aunt"

[@jupiterrising97]

my favorite easy little energy protection charm is just a small piece of twine or string, knotted and sealed with black wax. the idea is that the knot "ties up" the negative energy, and the wax keeps it sealed away. I put them on windowsills and above doorframes. it's my little monthly craft to replace them lol. also i dont coat the whole thing in black wax, just the knot itself.

[@looseleaflyra]

i stopped practicing a few months ago almost completely after several years of being incredibly overwhelmed with trying to keep up with my practice. maybe this is what i need. thank you

[@YourWitchyCousinTikTokComps]

OMG YES! This subject is something I want to write a book on someday, love to see it 👏

[@radscorpion8]

oh i bet you do

[@DuxNoctis]

Not a regular meal but a whole 40 minutes generous banquet! Thank you & welcome back 💫😄♥️

[@robbyyoung84]

I loved all of this. You are so beautiful. Most importantly, beautiful energetically. Your authenticity shines, and that energy is strong. Thank you for all of this.

[@katherineelizabeth6052]

I needed this so much. As a neurodivergent witch with chronic illness, so many books and witches I see online ascribe doing all these BIG THINGS as the way to be a good witch. I simply can't, and that's been difficult. Finding a way to make my practice work for me has been a lot of what, as a perfectionist, I have considered failures to find what I actually can do. So many great ideas here, most of which are things I can do!

[@ClubVeryy]

I would love an updated tarot deck tour!!!

[@cyrene5574]

thank you so much frankie❣️ watching this video made me realize that I've been neglecting my spiritual side lately due to the hassle of becoming an adult. Thank you for bringing me back to my spiritual self🙏🏻

[@VampireHellie]

The algorithm showed me this video and now I’m subscribed 🧛🏻‍♀️

[@maryh2730]

Sometimes i don’t have time to do spells (cuz life is hella busy) so i started to make a prayer petition bowl with different prayers, herbs, oils and saint metals and then i light a candle and pray over them when i have the time and i find it saves me a lot of time. also at the end of the month i will burn the prayers that were answered and use it as a offering.

[@LeeannCarver-ll2ej]

Love this.🥰⭐️

[@mariaposs7019]

12:47 yo, as a person with adhd this is not only helpful for altar cleaning but also for having the motivation to clean a space in general. Thank you for this!

[@Grey_Chaote]

Yes the "One move thing" technique lol that's how I clean my house on "I just can't do it" days 😮‍💨

[@katraylor]

See also "I'll work on this project for five minutes, and then I can stop if I want to." That difficulty with switching tasks really comes in handy once you've started a task you want to be doing.

[@reallymadnomad7330]

You uplift me again, Frankie. Thank you. And I love the red pattern of the veil. It means bizness.

[@tiffanimilburn8885]

I enjoyed watching your video. I like finding ways to incorporate witchcraft into my everyday. As a blind witch, though, I appreciate how you talked about making the craft accessible. I wish more people would do this.

[@LaLaLoopsyCutie]

the incense part made me think, do y’all think it’s an absolute MUST to have ALL your herbs come from something you grew yourself and/or forage outside? idk, if we work w invisible forces, then i don’t think a plant being dry or wet has anything to do w it’s spiritual potency. i mean, in my opinion, if the plant’s in front of me then that’s enough energy, bc it’s the spiritual energy that matters not the physical. i think if you want rare ingredients and you have the money, i think it doesn’t invalidate you. of course, dried herbs are NOT a replacement for going outside, physically sitting in nature, foraging at least a little bit, getting ur feet in real dirt etc. dried herbs will not and should not be the end-all of ur practice. but also i think it’s valid if i don’t have a rose bush and know of no bushes around me, then yea ill buy the dried stuff from hobby lobby. especially w common herbs like a rose. like, most of us agree roses have been associated w love and romance. i don’t think i can ever look at a rose in a different way personally, and i didn’t need my own rose bush to come to those conclusions, but moreso how society as a whole sees them point being, buy your herbs in whatever way you can. witchcraft isn’t all about plants exclusively imo. and there’s nothing wrong w ur practice if you grow all your herbs by urself! i just think we shouldn’t shame witches who don’t have access to being able to have big gardens or any plants

[@discountviolinist491]

personally, i don't think it's a *must* -- every practice is unique and anyone can do what they want, within reason. in my folk practice, the act of harvesting or foraging is sacred, though. there's a special charm to be said when picking herbs, and again when using them in magic. overall, that experience adds a lot to my practice that buying dried herbs wouldn't; but, as someone living in an apartment without a garden, it's often difficult to find plants i need without scavenging in weird locations. i can def see both sides to this!!

[@Rukiethespooder]

Hello!! I’m glad that you’ve posted again!!

[@radscorpion8]

[@TheGoddessofhope97]

I don’t usually comment on videos, but I just want to tell you your video was very helpful just listening and helping my own thoughts with my practice and getting restarted and also my puppy really likes your voice. She keeps having vocal discussions at the screen when you’re speaking. Haha

[@ev3490]

Wow Frankie! Your perspective on offerings really opened something up for me. I was feeling so happy after coming home from a new-to-me grocery store today, where I had found a bunch of foods that my normal store doesn’t carry. Was just eating my dinner and watching this video and it occurred to me that I could dedicate this meal to whatever spirits were with me that helped provide the inspiration to shop there today. Feels so special, like I am actually sharing the meal rather than just taking it in for myself. Somehow it makes the enjoyment of the meal amplified too. Beautiful! My hot tip for cleaning altar space (and other stuff too). I love the heck out of my feather duster. No need to move things around and wipe stuff down, just a quick brush of the feathers and everything looks shiny and fresh again. Really good for incense dust that seems to get everywhere 😅

[@harkives]

Hey, Frankie. I’ve been away from my practice for a long while as my life has taken a few unexpected turns, and I’m (very) slowly easing my way back into the craft. Thank you for creating a soft place for folks like me to land. 🌱

[@teresacox6258]

I am new to all of this. Just discovered Frankie. Love all of these comments. So helpful. I just ordered one of her books. Thanks so much. ❤

Thank You so much for making this video its very helpful

[@watcherwriter]

Thanks for inspiring me to cleanse my office on a day I otherwise wouldn't have bothered!

[@chrisj5505]

I work with Santisima Muerte and made a promise to clean her altar weekly so that is a lifetime commitment. The only exception she will make is if i travel. Then i must do something equivalent to cleanse a space for her. This is not a requirement for devotees unless like me you have made such a promise

[@artstormingishere]

Great video! Excited for your evil eye video and would love to see a mirror magic vid ❤

[@jasminedragon9717]

Thanks for making a practical practice video! Burnout's been a pain and leaving me to find low-energy ways to do my work, or just simply connecting. Your videos are really helpful and cool! Thanks Frankie!

[@soul_desu]

I'm not sure if you have a video on making your own incense but I'd love to see a video on it! Also the video idea about the evil eye would also be much appreciated!

[@bluemoonvibesapothecary]

You make me laugh while watching. Love your videos. Thank you.

[@silentm0th]

11:27 On the topic of picking herbs that call to you, i find i have trouble with premade spells. I have to add something to them. To me, creating and choosing herbs and things is a vital part. Even if im adding just one thing, the process is mqde that much more potent by adding my own twist in it. Its why i have trouble with premade like herbal blends and stuff. Idk if its the creative in me or an energy work skill i need to practice but I find things work better when I add something or create it myself.

[@kingofallfrogs]

I'm that way too! Plus, actual parts of any given ritual just... come to me. I have a vague plan, sure, but I can't follow something like that step by step. It doesn't feel right

[@lavender3084]

Love these ideas! My paycheque comes in on Thursdays so I’m definitely gonna use some of that energy like you mentioned :)

[@WillowWitch81]

Can you please tell us how you use your mirors in more detail? How do you turn a hand mirror into a return to sender spell?

[@chrisj5505]

The beauty of folk magick is we can be creative with it. You could write the person's name on the back of the mirror or write the intention or a sigil representing the intention. If you use deities you could place the mirror in their hands, at their feet, tie it by thread colour your associations with reversal. I recommend red and black together. To add power to it use appropriate planetary days and hours in combination with moon phase. You could bathe the mirror in water infused with herbs used for reversal in your tradition. There are many ways to skin a cat

[@alyssaclancy6894]

Love this video! You mention using salt and sweeping to cleanse, but what do you do if you have carpet? Thank you!

[@riverbrandybrook]

So i make a rose infused witch hazel that i use with my spiritual soap and ive found it reduces my scars and blemishes but its infused with self love intention so as i wash the muck i leave behind self love. I also use sigils on ALL my body products.

Hot Cakes jar?

[@ajcox2213]

Okay I was wondering about money spell jars if after the spell has been used (literally did the spell 3 years ago while living in a different house) could you dump the contents into my cauldron saving the money to be spent jazzing a second part to the spell. Like burning the contents of the jar and then spending the money. While doing so setting intention of doing good with the money or something like that so that you’re not holding the money in fear of lack but gifting the blessings of the money outward. I really hope that makes sense bc I’ve been thinking of doing this with my money jars that I’ve had for years.

Iol our paths ARE very similar at time's and I FEEL I was led to Ur page a FEW yrs ago for a reason and I'm Thankful for THAT ❤ No 2 Witches Witch the SAME But I NEEDED protection ideas that are a bit more than normal....

[@llama45s]

Would it make a difference if the man was not white??

[@ChaoticWitchAunt]

Hi! I'm sorry, I'm confused? I was describing the man, not trying to insinuate that someone of a different color would be "not okay".

[@llama45s]

😒 I wish you well on your channel No longer my cup of tea

[@ChaoticWitchAunt]

@@llama45s Not really. My dog would still be barking, and I would still be attempting to calm him down and telling him it's okay despite whoever it is outside. Today, it happened to be a white man.

[@ilaria_m87]

Sorry, but you can't translate "fattura" with "invoice". Fattura has the intention of harming or impeding someone, and it should always be translated as "curse". Otherwise, we talk about "incantesimo" in Italian, which you can translate with "spell" or "charm".
