Witches whip up charms in these. For centuries, witches have been associated with the creation and use of various charms and potions. These magical concoctions have been used for a multitude of purposes, ranging from healing and protection to love and fortune. The rituals and ingredients involved in the creation of these charms vary greatly depending on the desired outcome and the traditions of the witch. One common type of charm created by witches is a love potion. These potions are said to have the power to attract or enhance feelings of love and desire in the intended target.
If you’re interested in learning more about the magical properties of plants (from a European ancestral perspective) I recommend keeping Cunningham’s Encyclopedia of Magical Herbs around the house. It helps with everything from planning a garden to making a salad.
Raspberry The brambles branches hung up at doors and windows for protection, also done at death so that spirit won t re-enter the house once they ve left. With one more worried glance at her closed bedroom door, he stepped out of the house and into the drafty corridor, before heading down the stairs and into the sunny streets.

Typically made with a combination of herbs, spices, and other natural ingredients, these potions are often personalized to suit the specific needs and desires of the person seeking love.

How To Reconnect With Your Craft When Life Is Too Much
Recently, I’ve had a lot of bad luck. My cat got sick and after three different vets told me it was an allergy, I invested hundreds of dollars in specialty cat food. This made no difference to her scratching and over-grooming, so I got blood work and scans. These revealed nothing, according to the vets, and they told me not to worry. After months of hoping for an improvement and desperate to see my darling return to her normal self, she stopped eating and lost weight.
I took her to a new vet who took more bloodwork, and I was told my cat’s FIV was peaking and there was nothing more to do. They could put her down that day, or we could wait for her symptoms to get worse and put her down in a few weeks. This came as a gut-wrenching surprise. If you have pets or have ever had to put down a pet, you’ll know that this is the day you dread.
Losing my cat demolished me. Today, a month after the fact, I can’t even think about it without crying. The months leading up to her death were filled with doctor visits and medication and my grasping at straws, trying everything to help her. On the more mystical side, I built her an altar for health and lit it every day. I researched health spells and tried all of them. I made her a sigil box and activated the sigil routinely. I put moss agate in her bed and carried around four Star tarot cards, hoping beyond hope that something would work. There was no magical avenue I didn’t stumble and crash down.
The day she died, I came home and dismantled my altars. I put away my tarot cards. I looked miserably at all my tools and herbs and candles and felt rage that nothing had saved her. I threw everything away except for her sigil box because it contains fur I snipped from her tail. Sure, little things had gone my way in the past, but when it mattered, magic had failed me. I was done.
Interestingly, although medicine and the knowledge of these vets had failed, too, I didn’t blame that in the same way I blamed my craft. Even though these vets had misdiagnosed her, and taken over a thousand dollars from me in the process, I didn’t come home and throw away my medications or think, well, it’s time to start eating bacon and throwing back vodka with every meal because health care professionals clearly know nothing. No, the blame was placed squarely on the shoulders of witchcraft. I disconnected.
In the depressing weeks that followed, it left me without a foothold. My routine, both mundane and magical, had collapsed. What now?
Many witches use their talents to achieve balance and peace. They perform magic as a way of self-care, and witchcraft is an overall way of being for them. I confess, this is not me. When I whip out the candles and crystals, it’s because I’m looking for a specific result. I try to practice gratitude, but as far as just taking a magical bath for peace or performing spells for inner strength, no way. If I so much as lose an eyelash, I make sure that bugger has an intention. See, that was a guiding force — always wishing for something. For so long, that was the point of every magical thing I did: Keeping my little cat healthy. Without that, without wanting something, there was no point to practicing.
All that changed, though, and I want to share with you the ways I used to start looking at magic differently. If you’re going through a rough time and you feel like your craft is slipping away, there are ways to get it back.
In addition to love potions, witches also create charms for protection and healing. These charms are believed to provide a shield of energy or ward off negative spirits or energies. They can be simple amulets worn as jewelry or more elaborate talismans crafted with specific symbols or engravings. The materials used in these protection charms can vary, but they often include stones or crystals that are associated with healing or spiritual energy. Another commonly used charm by witches is a luck charm. These charms are believed to bring good fortune and abundance to the bearer. They can be small trinkets or symbols that are carried or placed in specific locations to enhance luck and success. Some of these charms may involve rituals or spells to activate their powers, while others simply rely on the belief and intention of the witch and the wearer. While the creation of these charms may seem like simple superstition to some, for witches and those who believe in their powers, these charms hold great significance. They are seen as tools for manifesting desires, connecting with the spiritual realm, and harnessing the energies of nature for the benefit of oneself and others. Whether it's a love potion, protection charm, or luck charm, witches continue to whip up these mystical creations, using their knowledge, intuition, and belief in the unseen forces that govern our world..
