A practical magic necklace is a unique and fascinating piece of jewelry that is believed to possess supernatural or mystical powers. It is typically adorned with various talismans, charms, symbols, or gemstones that are said to bring about specific effects or outcomes. In many cultures and throughout history, people have worn these necklaces as a means of protection, luck, healing, or enhancing certain aspects of their lives. Each necklace is usually crafted with care and intention, with specific elements chosen to align with the desired purpose. For example, a practical magic necklace designed for protection may include symbols such as the evil eye, a pentagram, or other spiritual symbols known for warding off negative energy or evil spirits. In contrast, a necklace intended to attract abundance or love may incorporate gemstones like citrine or rose quartz, which are associated with luck and romance.

Another way of connecting with your ancestors at Samhain is to cleanse and protect your space then set a place for them at your home. Offer a suitable meal or offer cake and tea (which is universally welcomed!) and, while sitting at the table, light a black candle and call out to invite your ancestor to come forward.

Before communicating with your ancestors, make sure you have the skills and experience in the craft, master your tools and protect yourself and your home. Practising ancestral witchcraft involves studying the culture, foods and day-to-day ways of your ancestors and incorporating it into your magickal path.

In contrast, a necklace intended to attract abundance or love may incorporate gemstones like citrine or rose quartz, which are associated with luck and romance. The power of a practical magic necklace is believed to lie in the combination of its elements and the intention with which it is worn. The wearer often charges the necklace with their energy and desires, creating a personal connection and amplifying its effectiveness.

Witch ancestry - are you the descendant of a witch?

"We are the daughters of the witches you didn't burn" is the latest popular phrase I've seen casually thrown around on social media - mostly shared on witchy groups in Facebook and emblazoned across T-Shirts and hoodies in sponsored Instagram posts.

Burning witches is not a phrase to be taken lightly. It has been estimated that around 50,000 people were executed as witches in Europe alone during the witch-hunt hysteria of the 15th to 18th centuries, with hundreds of thousands more in the US. Many of these victims were hanged or beheaded, or died in prison cells during the hysteria of the witch trials. Those that survived were horrifically tortured or put on trial only to force an accusation of another neighbour or villager. Many surviving witches and Pagans went into hiding. A lot of innocent people died.

If you're new to witchcraft, or curious to find out whether you're related to a witch, exploring your ancestral line is a fascinating place to start but, before delving into your family’s history, it is important to think about whether you believe these men and women were actually practising witches or not. Under conditions of torture, the majority of the accused would confess to being witches to lessen their sentence or to avoid further punishment. Their closest connection to witchcraft simply being the practise of using locally found herbs for healing.

I intentionally wrote 'practising' witches above because everybody has magickal connections in their family tree, if you go back far enough. European ancestors were Pagan before Christianity took over, Ancient Greeks encompassed a collection of beliefs and rituals and Hinduism, the oldest religion in existence and the third largest in the modern world, focuses on practises such as meditation, chants, yoga and burning incense for their deities. Practises may be called different things and techniques may differ slightly, but the magick has always been there. Everyone has at least one connection to a priest, priestesses, druid, shaman or witch doctor throughout ancient history.

Whether it's basic level nature magick or experienced witchcraft, humans have been using magick for as long as we have existed. Some witches are born knowing their abilities or born into a magickal household, while others learn and develop them throughout their life.

Witches harness their powers and practice witchcraft. Some do it openly, some only ever in their private space. You may never know if you have a witchy ancestor but, the first step to finding out is to identify your family tree. Beginning with your last name, write your father last name and mother’s maiden name above it, then branch out to her mother’s maiden name and her father's name (your grandmother and grandfather on your mother's side), and your father’s mother’s maiden name and his father's name (your grandmother and grandfather on your father's side) and so on. Identify as many surnames as you can, then compare those names against recognised witch bloodline names. It also helps if you mark where those family members lived to get an idea of where the names originated from. This will make finding your ancestors slightly easier.

The next step is to research the names. There is an enormous amount of information on the internet and you can use online tools such as Ancestry.com which has an enormous record collection. Some genealogy sites are free, some are pay-per-view and some require a subscription. It's also worthwhile speaking to your family members and visit your local records office if you have one. London's Wellcome Library recently published a seventeenth century manuscript online, available at Ancestry.com, containing the names of over 300 people accused of witchcraft during the Scottish witch panic of 1658-1662.

While the effectiveness of practical magic necklaces is largely a matter of belief and faith, many people have reported positive experiences and outcomes after wearing them. Whether it is a placebo effect or a true manifestation of mystical powers, the allure of these necklaces continues to captivate individuals who seek to tap into the hidden forces of the universe. It is important to note that practical magic necklaces should not be seen as a substitute for professional advice, medical care, or logical decision-making. They are meant to complement one's beliefs and spirituality, providing a sense of empowerment and connection to something beyond the physical realm. In conclusion, a practical magic necklace is a personal and meaningful accessory that combines symbolism, intention, and belief to enhance certain aspects of life. Whether one seeks protection, love, or any other desired outcome, these necklaces offer a tangible way to connect with the mystical and tap into one's own personal power..
