Magickal Brews using Crystals & Candles.
Witchcraft is many things: intuitive, ancestral, wildly personal. But one thing it’s never been? Dull.
Brewing teas and elixirs, lighting candles with intention, and weaving crystal energy into your rituals have been part of the Craft for centuries. These aren’t just aesthetic tools; they’re sacred. Every flame, every petal, every shimmering stone carries a vibration waiting to align with yours.
Whether you’re a seasoned spell-slinger or just starting your journey, adding magickal brews, crystals, and candlework to your practice is a potent way to ground your intentions and amplify your energy.
Brewing: The Heart of Potion Magick
Brewing isn’t just mixing herbs and hoping for the best. It’s spellcraft in liquid form. Every herb you add, every stir you make, every whisper you breathe over the steam, weaves your intention into the brew.
Herbal Infusions: Choose herbs that match your purpose.
- Lavender for peace.
- Rosemary for protection.
- Chamomile for calming.
- Mugwort for psychic sight.
Steep them into teas or infuse them into oils for ritual anointing, bath soaks, or altar work.
Moon Water: Leave a jar of water under the moon’s light overnight (especially on the Full Moon) to charge it with lunar energy. Use moon water in your potions, as a facial mist, or to cleanse your altar. Different moon phases hold different energy:
- New Moon: new beginnings, manifestation
- Full Moon: clarity, release, illumination
- Waning Moon: banishing, rest
- Waxing Moon: growth, attraction
Candle Magick: Lighting the Way
Candles are living symbols of transformation: fire consumes, changes, and reveals. When you light a candle with intention, you’re awakening that energy.
Color Correspondences:
- White – universal; can be used in place of any color
- Pink – self-love, affection, harmony
- Red – passion, vitality, strength
- Green – abundance, healing, growth
- Black – protection, banishing, grounding
- Purple – psychic insight, spiritual connection
- Blue – calm, communication, peace
- Yellow – clarity, creativity, confidence
- Orange – happiness, success, motivation
Always imagine your desired outcome while the candle burns. Don’t just think it, feel it. Let the flame become a mirror of your desire, already fulfilled.
Pro Tip: Dress your candles with oils and herbs for extra magick. Just make sure to burn them safely.
Crystals: Energy Amplifiers & Intention Anchors
Crystals are Earth’s memory, each one holding ancient frequencies that can align with your spells. They absorb, amplify, store, and transmit energy. And they’re stunning, so there’s that too.
How to Work with Them:
- Cleanse first: Use moonlight, smoke, sound, or bury them in soil.
- Choose intuitively: What you’re drawn to usually reflects what your energy needs.
- Use them daily: In your bra, under your pillow, on your altar, in spell jars, in your bath.
Crystal Grids: Arrange your stones in sacred geometries to create focused energy fields. Use them to manifest love, protection, clarity… whatever your intention is.
Crystal Elixirs:
Place water-safe crystals in a jar of clean water and charge them under the sun or moon. Drink with intention, use it as an aura spray, or pour it into ritual baths.
Reminder: not all crystals can go in water. Here is a Complete List of Water-Safe Crystals ♥
If you select a crystal that can’t go in water, you can use it as a meditation aid, carried with you, placed on your desk, or by your bed, or you can add them to charm bags, spell jars, etc
