How to Be a House Witch teaches you how to work with house spirits, domestic goddesses, and hearth witchcraft with Plants By Laurali! Much like a green hearth witch, house witchery creates a deep bond and connection with the house you live and dwell in. It creates a warm and cozy witchcraft practice in the heart of the home!

What does it mean to be a house witch? It means that the heart of your witchcraft practice takes place in the home. House witchery is like garden witchcraft, hearthcraft, and kitchen witchcraft all in one!

While I consider myself a green witch, first and foremost, I also consider myself to be a house witch because much of my practice takes place in and around my home. As a plant witch, I tend to bring nature into my home, practicing a slow-living, cottagecore lifestyle!

I bring elements of nature into my home, surrounding myself with gemstones, houseplants, terrariums, and zen gardens. As a green house witch, I tend to spend a lot of time creating spells right from my kitchen, which is the hearth or the heart of the home!

My home makes me feel safe, warm, and loved! Most importantly, it feels like me. It has my style, vibrations, and good energy. I welcome only benevolent spirits into my home, as they offer assistance and kindness, and I give them offerings in return.

The spirits that live in my home are known as house spirits! Not only that, but the house itself becomes a living, breathing entity to the house witchcraft practitioner.

When you move into a new home, this is why it’s so important to introduce yourself to the house, after clearing it first. You’ll want to clear your space with crystals, burning sage, and saying prayers. You can take it one step further by naming your home, for those times when you want to call upon it!

For me, practicing house witchery means going sans casting a circle! Many witches cast a circle of protection around themselves when they cast a spell or perform a spiritual ritual. The house witch relies on the house to protect them, like a circle of trust!

I’ve never cast a circle in my life! I’ve never felt like I needed to in my practice. I’ve always felt safe and protected while casting a hiking pretty spell on Mother Nature and the comfort and coziness of my home.

Being a house witch is about being comfortable in the skin you're in! You can do spells in your pajamas, weave magic into your morning and evening routines, and create magic while decorating your home.

Think about it. Your home represents your spirit and true essence. It’s the place you can relax, let your hair down, and be yourself. It sounds wonderful, doesn’t it?

Without further ado, let’s deep dive into house witchcraft! Learning how to be a housewitch comes with rich rewards and new ways to look at the home as a place of magical spellwork.

Today, we will discuss ancestor witchcraft and deepening ancestral relationships, a topic near and dear to my heart! Working with my ancestors has been one of the most rewarding things I’ve ever done, as my craft has evolved through the years. The magic of ancestor veneration is a connection made of blood, bones, and water!

There’s nothing and no one closer to you than your ancestors. You are family to them and they are family to you. Often, you share a bloodline, but even if you don’t, your ancestors will still feel like family to you.

With your ancestors, it’s like an entire spiritual team that has your back through everything! You’ll experience loyalty, emotional support, and a force field of solid protection with them.

The ancestors are not just family in the traditional, blood-kin sense. Your ancestor family is an umbrella of family, pets, and close, personal relationships. Many adoptive families experience this kind of bond.

Many of us grow up in dysfunctional families or feel estranged. This makes it difficult to open up to the practice of ancestral veneration. I’ve experienced this firsthand myself.

I’ve got people in my family who were everything from peeping toms to convicted criminals. We have family members who abandoned their children, were domestic abusers, refused to pay child support, and ended up in prison. My family tree comes with a checkered past.

Yet, there is so much beauty and strength that runs like an invisible thread through my family ancestry. There are so many family members in my past who were kind, thoughtful, spiritual, and enjoyed working with herbs. These are the ancestors I seek to know better.

Many women in my family were survivors of domestic abuse, including myself. My great-grandmother Sylvia McCarty Potts left her abusive husband to make it on her own with six children in tow in the 1940s, only to be killed with a shotgun by her ex-husband who refused to let her go.

I admire these women and I consider them the greats. Maybe great-grandmother Sylvia didn’t survive, but she tried to do the right thing. It takes strength and courage to leave an abusive relationship and she had all of that and more.

You may have a family tree that doesn’t make for a proud past but know that goodness runs long and deep, like your family lineage. Working with ancestors will help you uncover and discover the hidden gems in your family, as they step forward into the light.

Each family member, whether pet or human, blood-kin or non-related, will come forward, one by one, to create a full picture of your life through their eyes. Your ancestors know you better than anyone.

Are you ready to overcome your fears and deep dive into ancestral witchcraft? Let’s go! Ancestor Witchcraft: Deepening Ancestral Relationships teaches the practice of ancestor veneration, graveyard magic, and a rosemary ancestral wisdom tea spell with Plants By Laurali!

This is my witchy guide to weight-loss witchcraft with spells, vitamins, and recipes for losing weight! My favorite things in life are eating a plant-based diet and moving my body. In this article, I’ll discuss what works for me, as my body moves in cycles., and I approach a healthy weight through magical and mundane means.

As a solitary green witch, plant life, in all forms, including plant-based foods, tends to be a driving force in my life. I revolve my life around it.

There are foods I choose that ground and center me. These types of foods typically include mushrooms, potatoes, and root vegetables. Foods like these directly impact my root chakra!

Some foods make me heart-centered and affect my emotional landscape. These types of foods typically include strawberries, avocado, watermelon, and tomatoes. Even a leafy green vegetable like sorrel can bring a certain amount of affection into my heart chakra!

Purple foods like purple onion, beetroot, and lavender tea affect my crown chakra, magically altering my highest state and mood. These types of foods make me feel a sense of passion and depth that connects me to my higher self, my deities, and the spirits I work with.

Other types of plant-based foods, like blueberries, grapes, and purple cabbage impact my mind and memories. They lie directly in my third-eye chakra, opening up my psychic abilities, and allowing me to see things beyond the naked eye.

The bright orange color of carrots can bring forth clarity to even the most confusing situation. Carrots can be used for truth serum spells!

When I wish to bring out my fun, creative side or connect with my inner child, I turn to bananas, chia seeds, and pineapple fruit-based popsicles! This connects me with the yellow color of my sacral chakra which lies in my stomach.

Each day, I use my witchy intuition to listen to my body! But, what does all of this have to do with weight loss and witchcraft?

As a plant witch, I use herbal spells, natural vitamins, and green kitchen witch recipes to lose weight. I combine the magical and the mundane for weight loss witchcraft!

It’s a proven fact that 80% of weight loss is diet and 20% is exercise. So, I focus on eating healthy and taking vitamins that support metabolism first and foremost. I also exercise several days a week consistently.

But, how does magick play into this? Everything from enchanting my yoga mat to mushroom decomposer weight-loss spells can go hand-in-hand with the everyday mundane magic of losing weight for every kind of witch out there!

In the past year, I’ve gained some weight, and I’m not happy about it. However, it’s okay to say that my body moves in cycles, and this is just one of them.

I believe changing hormones and a changing lifestyle have a lot to do with what’s happening to my body. For one thing, I turned forty-seven this year, and my hormones and moon cycles are changing all of the time. For you, it might be something else.

I’ve also been in a serious relationship for over a year and a half, and my whole routine and rituals have changed because of this. My partner and I have a lot of fun together and on the weekends probably drink too much wine. These are things I’m working on, magically and mundane.

I’m happy. Like, over the moon happy. But, I have a lot of stress in my life, and now I’ve gained some weight. I look healthy and I’m in pretty good shape, but I’m ready to get back to being fully me.

This is the shadow work witchcraft field guide for witchcraft psychology with Plants By Laurali! Shadowwork is a psychological term for the parts of the psyche we keep hidden from ourselves. In witchcraft, we learn to embrace our shadow selves!

Doing shadow work is essential to witchcraft because it helps you better understand yourself! There’s no better exploration of yourself than venturing into botanical studies. Each herb, crystal, mushroom, moon phase, and seasonal shift brings us that much closer to the truth.

What is shadow work? Shadow work means digging into the confines of the mind and finding the parts that are kept secret and hidden. This can be painful, ugly, and sometimes uncomfortable. Once you accept your shadow self, you’ll integrate it into your psyche and it becomes part of you.

Here’s the thing: Your dark self has always been part of you. It’s just that you were never able to accept it before or see it for what it is.

To explore your shadow self, start thinking of the secrets or hidden things you would never want anyone to know. These are the things that bring shame, guilt, and regret. Bring your dark self into the light!

The Shadow Work Witchcraft Field Guide

How does one go about doing shadow work? I find that it’s important to work on your shadow self by the phases of the moon, the seasons, and during a planetary retrograde. You can do shadow work anytime you want, but these are the times when you’ll be called to your shadow!

During Imbolc Holiday, for example, I always do shadow work. This is a quiet time of darkness, reflection, and journaling. It’s a holiday for learning new things about yourself and going within.

You can use witchy holidays, solstices, and equinoxes to work on your dark self. These are moments when the wheel turns again, bringing new information to light, which is what shadow work is all about.

During the moon phases, there is ample opportunity for learning, growing, and developing your witchy intuition. Many witches use the moon phases to guide them to the truth within.

During planetary retrogrades, you might find your shadow self called into being! When planets go retrograde, they appear to be moving backward in the sky. Retrogrades slow things down and create time for healing, contemplation, and spiritual awakenings.

Another period for shadow work would be during eclipse season. Eclipse Season is all about waking up the conscious collective, transformation, change, and turning points. You can learn a lot about yourself and your relationships during an eclipse!

To go about doing shadow work, you are going to spend time with yourself! You’d be surprised how many people don’t enjoy their own company. As a solitary green witch, I love spending time by myself, especially in Mother Nature, where I know I’m not completely alone!

This is a blog post on Mushroom Witchcraft: Using Mushrooms in Spellcraft that can be used for weight loss spells and healing magic with Plants By Laurali! Mushrooms are a community and communication system of decomposers that can assist with a myriad of problems, including the kind that can only be solved using magic.

When I think of mushrooms, I think of fairy rings! Most people do. We eat them in our food, we use them for grounding rituals, and we use mushrooms as a Hekate Mushroom Key! By we, I mean witches.

Mushrooms are magical and not just for the hallucinogenic properties some mushrooms carry. Mushrooms are associated with the earth element. This is the earthy, grounded, steadfast energy we have come to know as Mother Nature.

It is said that if you come across a mushroom, fairies must be nearby! I’ve never encountered a fairy ring, but I have encountered fungi communities and the fae folk who live amongst the trees and leaves.

In witchcraft, mushrooms have both medicinal and magical purposes! They can be used for health and wellness spells, especially. In addition to that, they can be crafted for weight loss spells.

As decomposers, they decompose the problem, reducing it to nothing! For fat loss, they decompose and make the weight fall right off of you. Mushrooms are potent, powerful, and in my opinion, extremely underrated!

When I think of green witchcraft, I think of plants, trees, mushrooms, gemstones, and animal life. I think of seasons, weather, and holidays. None of this would be complete without the magic of mushrooms.

Fungi communities are most prevalent in the late summer and autumn seasons when many places experience their monsoon season. Here, in Florida, where I live, mushrooms can be found year-round due to the wet, humid conditions.

What’s cool and interesting about the mushroom season is that within a day or two, an entire community can be brought down. Nature is always moving in cycles and fungi communities are no exception to that. The wonder of mushrooms is that they are here one day and gone the next!

Mushroom Witchcraft: Using Mushrooms in Spellcraft

Let’s talk about how to use the magic of mushrooms in spellcraft, shall we? As a witchcraft practitioner, mushrooms can boost your spellwork on many different levels.

First and foremost, if you would like to work with the fae, then mushrooms might be your cup of tea. They are associated with fairy rings, which are magical, mystical, and celebratory. If fae magic is something that catches your eye, then incorporating mushrooms into your magic only makes sense.

Secondly, are you into left-hand witchcraft? Do you enjoy diminishing problems and banishing things? Then, working with poisonous mushrooms might be a good fit for you! You might be a curse-positive witch and that’s perfectly okay.

Third, mushrooms can be used to make keys! What do keys do? They open and unlock doors, gates, and pathways. Mushrooms are magical and can be dried out and preserved to make a Hekate Mushroom Key!

Fourth, mushrooms can be used as a spell ingredient in any spell or natural remedy you like. A long-stemmed mushroom can even be used as a DIY Green Kitchen Witch Wand when cooking plant-based meals!

Fifth, mushrooms can be used in plant-based meals or as the meal itself. Make stuffed mushrooms, and portabella mushroom pizzas, and add mushrooms to your magical salads. Mushrooms can be used by the kitchen witch!

Sixth, mushrooms can be used for grounding rituals! Holding a mushroom in your hand (be sure it is non-poisonous and safe!) can ground your energy after performing any kind of magical spell or ritual.

Last, mushrooms can be used as decomposers to eliminate health problems and fat loss. If you’d like to create a Mushroom Decomposer Wellness Spell Jar or a Mushroom Decomposer Weight Loss Spell Jar, keep reading! You’ll find information on how to put these mushroom decomposer jars together using magic.

The Greek God Hermes: Communication Magic + Travel Spells covers Mercury Retrograde energy with Plants By Laurali! Worshipping Greco-Roman Gods can be a powerful remedy for life and Hermes is truly the best when it comes to working with retrograde planets.

Hermes is the Sun God of travel, communication, commerce, and animal husbandry.  As the son of Zeus, Hermes is a Greek god in the Hellenic tradition.  I have found him to be easy to work with and a well-rounded god who can assist with many things.  He’s a lot of fun to work with!

Working with Hermes will be like a creative light shining down on you!  He is a sun god after all.  I’ve only ever heard kind words about Hermes, a favorite to many.

The Greek God Hermes: Communication Magic + Travel Spells

To learn all about Hermes, I recommend looking into Greek Mythology to understand his story better.  It’s always a good starting point, with any deities, to do your research and study them.  

I’ve worked with many facets of Hermes and find him to be quite endearing.  This has come with many different personal experiences that I have had with him.  I call these spiritual encounters.  

With deities, you may feel a tendency to draw closer to them.  This, in turn, leads to research and homework assignments.  Many deities will want to reach out to you first.

It’s very important during this learning period to get to know what your deity likes and dislikes.  You’ll learn a lot of this through your thoughts, feelings, and intuition.  This is how deities speak to humans.  

You may even begin to see signs and symbolism having to do with the deity of interest.  With Hermes, you may see wings, a tortoise, or a caduceus.  It’s really important to trust the signs and to only take what resonates with you.  

This takes time and patience.  Over time, you’ll begin to lay the groundwork for working with other deities in the future if that’s something you feel called to do.  

Deities are like people, only they feel things more intensely.  Everything is bigger in their world and they hold great power.  Working with them should be done respectfully and kindly.  

Hermes is extremely good-natured and fun to work with.  I find he’s a wonderful friend to have, even if you don’t lean toward Hellenism.  He’s someone you can always count on and he’ll bring fun and adventure into your life.  

To learn about him, take your time!  Study him.  Write him letters.  Develop a sixth sense for when he’s around.  He appreciates any efforts you can make toward building a solid relationship.  

How to Call on Hermes

If you feel called to work with Hermes, I recommend giving him a call!  If you are feeling down, get on your knees and pray.  The deities, especially the Greco-Roman deities, respond well to prayer, worship, and offerings.  

Don’t worry about the atmosphere being perfect or even getting in the perfect mood.  Sometimes, that never comes.  Simply, start by talking to him as you would an old friend.  

It’s important to remember that Hermes is an ancient God with a modern-day twist!  I think we’re seeing a lot more of him due to modern technology and internet communication.  This is where Hermes feels most at home.

Therefore, there are many different ways you can reach out to Hermes!  He will be honored that you took the time to get to know him.  Hermes looks kindly to people who are humble and thoughtful in their words.  

Contacting him can be done in prayer form or you can do what I do, which is to write a distance energy healing letter.  Otherwise, known as a letter to the universe.  

You can write a letter addressed to Hermes about whatever you want, then burn the letter over a sink or cauldron.  It’s an awesome way to make contact with any deity!  

Some people choose to bury their words in a potted plant or head into the forest and leave it near a tree.  Do what feels best for you and your unique situation.  

I write letters to angels, deities, ancestors, and guides every morning with my coffee.  It’s a fantastic way to start the day!  It helps me during times of stress and anxiety.  

You should immediately feel something.  It can be a presence, a temperature change, or a shift in the air.  Each deity leaves an energetic blueprint!  Hermes feels like the element of air to me, which makes perfect sense as Hermes rules the throat chakra.  

Hermes is a Greek god of communication.  This makes contact easy, and breezy!

The Hiking Pretty Spell for Natural Beauty and Attractiveness covers everything from crystals in the bra spells to how to enchant your beauty routine with Plants By Laurali! Learn how to work with the glamour magic of the forest.

The Hiking Pretty Spell is a spell for natural beauty and attractiveness!  This is a three-step spell that requires a magical hike in nature.  This is the perfect spell for getting attention and turning heads by being your most natural self.

The hiking pretty spell brings out the inner beauty that you already have available to you.  It will make your eyes sparkle just a bit more and your smile beautiful and expansive.  This is a spell for gaining compliments, turning heads, and embracing your natural beauty!  

The hiking pretty spell is great as a confidence boost!  It brings out the beauty that already resides within you.  You’ll garner a lot of attention, compliments, and praise.  You’ll feel validated in your natural beauty.  

I created the hiking pretty spell out of a desire to look and feel more beautiful.  I did a lot of research and experimenting before finally finding a spell that sticks.  Sometimes, it’s about finding what you’re looking for.

In my case, I wanted a spell that would bring out the beauty that comes from deep within!  We all have unique features and beauty traits that can be boosted with the right form of magic.  

This spell will make you feel more confident and worthy, even if you don’t feel like one of the most beautiful people.  In fact, by the time the spell takes full effect, you’ll begin to feel like you are beautiful, desirable, and enchanting!  Who wouldn’t want to feel that way?

What Hiking Pretty Does

1. Boosts your confidence

2. Brings out your natural beauty

3. Brings out your natural sex appeal

4. Makes you feel worthy

5. Get lots of compliments

6. Garner the right kind of attention

7. Look and feel naturally beautiful

8. Enhances features (eyes sparkle, glossy hair, etc.)

9. Raises self-esteem

10. It fosters grace and poise

What I like about this spell is how it acts as a mirror through other people!  Suddenly, people will notice you.  The compliments will roll in from unexpected places!  

These are some of the indicators that your spell is working properly.  Look for the signs!

The Hiking Pretty Spell for Natural Beauty and Attractiveness

To prepare for this spell, I highly recommend prepping everything the night before!  This can include choosing your hiking destination, laying your clothes out, and getting your hiking boots ready.

Parks and Recreation

Before you can go hiking, you need to have a destination in mind!  Nine times out of ten, I always end up at my favorite park here in Florida.  Part of being a green witch is knowing your genius loci, spirits of the land.  

It’s also important to practice safety while hiking!  When you’re walking in the forest, you’re in the habitat of sometimes dangerous, unpredictable animals.  It’s important to be prepared for any situation.  

Be sure to have water, sunscreen, a camera, bug spray, and anything else you might need for the next steps in the spell.  I always keep everything in my pink hiking backpack! 

This includes tools of the trade.  Of course, you’ll need spell ingredients that you keep in a separate compartment of your backpack.  That way you have it ready and easily accessible.  

Next, you’ll need containers to keep any specimens you collect.  Always be respectful, give thanks to the plants and mushrooms, and leave an offering!

Plant spirits like offerings of herbs, tiny gemstones, and honeycombs.  Tree spirits like whole herb sprigs of thyme and rosemary.  Mushroom spirits like tiny crystals, flower petals, and pebbles.  

At Home Prepwork

If you plan on implementing parts one and two of the hiking pretty spell, be sure to complete them before ever leaving the house.  You’ll want to make sure you have your herb-infused water bottle with you for hydration and the crystal in the bra spells for a confidence boost!

Magical Spell Ingredients

Since this is a three-part spell that starts at home, I’ll be sharing the ingredients individually.  You can skip parts of the spell if you feel called to or are short on time.  I do recommend performing all three sections, as they can boost your spell!

The Herb-Infused Water Bottle Spell (Part One)

• A sprinkle of cayenne pepper for speed and sexiness!  Cayenne also speeds up the metabolism.

• Lemon wedges for energy, vitality, and revitalization!  Lemon also gives you a natural boost of vitamin C and happiness.

Botanical Style: DIY Goddess Hekate Mushroom Key covers the symbolism of the Greek goddess of graveyards, ghosts, and herbal witchcraft with Plants By Laurali! Keys can be used to open doors to opportunities and new possibilities. Are you ready?

I started working with the Greek Goddess Hekate many years ago while living in a tiny fishing shack beside the sea. There, I began to form a deep relationship with the lady of torches and nighttime. This is when she began to open doors to me.

She opened the door to herbal witchcraft for me. She taught me how to see beyond the hedge, to the places where no one goes.

Hekate taught me how to perform my first curse, as well as my first banishing and binding spell. She taught me a great deal about protection and defense magic.

When I was ready, she taught me how to make my first key. My first key was a black mushroom that I plucked from the forest floor and kept in a bottle of isopropyl alcohol for preservation. When the key needed a refresh, I would shake the bottle, watching my mushroom key and its every movement.

Mushrooms, onions, and garlic make great keys. When you’re ready, you can make a key out of virtually anything in nature. But, today, we are going to learn how to make a Goddess Hekate Mushroom Key.

Why mushrooms? Mushrooms have magical and medicinal properties just like our favorite herbs, plants, and natural healing foods. When you choose the right mushroom and match it to its personal power, you can unlock the door to something profound and mystical.

What are keys used for? Keys are used to open the doors to opportunities and fresh possibilities. Keys can open the door to knowledge and wisdom, which Goddess Hekate can provide in full.

To make a key, you are going to have to do a little mushroom hunting to find the right key. The right key will come to you at the right time when you know it.

With that being said, let’s talk about how to make a Goddess Hekate Key and why you would want to make one. What door would you like to open? What road would you like to unlock? The possibilities are endless!

Botanical Style: DIY Goddess Hekate Mushroom Key

To make Hekate’s Key, you must first have an understanding of Goddess Hekate. She is the goddess of graveyards, witchcraft, ghosts, doors, keys, and torches. Her powers are universal and limitless.

When I think of Goddess Hekate, I think of the most secret place of them all. The place where ghosts and restless spirits reside. I think of graveyard witchcraft when she comes to mind.

Goddess Hekate guides the dead to their final resting place. She holds the key to the underworld and provides a safe refuge for the death witch. To understand her better, one must turn to the death tarot card.

The death tarot card represents death, rebirth, and all the places in between. It is within that in-between liminal space where you can find Goddess Hekate, hiding in the shadows with her set of keys.

How will you know when Hekate is ready to give you one of her keys? There will be a knowing and a spirit of quietness as she approaches you with her key.

Goddess Hekate is known as both the goddess of keys and doors. She uses her torch to light the way in all the darkness. She holds the knowledge, wisdom, and power to the great mysteries of life.

She is a patient goddess and she is an ally and a friend. But, make no mistake, Goddess Hekate can be violent, fierce, and commanding, like a voice booming in a place of solitude.

While Goddess Fortuna is my patron deity, Goddess Hekate is how I power through the darkness. She enfolds me in her arms like a mother would, offering shelter and protection.

It is in the darkness where I have found her key and learned to make my own set of keys. Mushrooms hold a sacred power to the Goddess Hekate. They open the doors to things you never knew before.

Making a Goddess Hekate Mushroom Key means unlocking your source of power. Power can be scary sometimes. It can be unyielding and relentless.

To walk through that door, let us make your first botanical-style mushroom key. If you find yourself in darkness and can no longer see the light, that is where Goddess Hekate will be, waiting for you with open arms.

Hedgehog Animal Familiar: The Magical Uses of Hedgehog Magic covers animal witchcraft and hedgehog animal spirit spells and rituals with Plants By Laurali! The hedgehog animal spirit happens to be my astral familiar.

Incorporating hedgehog magic into your witchy arsenal can be the magical boost you’ve been needing! Hedgehogs are sweet, gentle creatures that spend a lot of time laying low and grounding their energy. 

Hedgehogs can be incorporated into any kind of magic, as they are highly adaptable magical creatures. They work well in any kind of hedgework you might do, as well as garden spells, and working with herbs and plants.

Hedgehog Animal Familiar: The Magical Uses of Hedgehog Magic

The hedgehog is my main animal familiar so making contact has been relatively easy for me. However, I do recognize that’s not always the case for everyone. Just like working with deities, the best way to call on the hedgehog for magical workings is by researching them. 

Look up the spiritual meaning of hedgehogs. Pick up the Witches’ Famiars Oracle Deck, which has a bevy of information on hedgehog magic as well as other familiars you might like to get acquainted with. It always begins and ends with research! 

In addition to that, you can write a distance energy healing letter to the hedgehog animal spirit to bridge a connection. If you’ve never done this before, simply sit down and write to the hedgehog. 

You’ll want to wear your heart on your sleeve and address any issues you may be struggling with. You can then add anything you’d like assistance with. It can be anything the hedgehog is known for (disguise, shapeshifting, protection, etc.) or it can be anything that weighs heavily on your heart. 

I find that being sincere goes a long way with any magical being! When you feel you have spent yourself, you can burn your letter over the sink or a cauldron. You can add the ashes to a sacred space in your garden where you’d imagine your hedgehog hanging out. 

What impressions did you receive while writing? What did you feel? What pictures did you see? It’s different for everyone. 

For me, I always receive intuitive downloads from the magical beings I work with. Sometimes, I’ll receive visions. Sometimes, the answer to something will come to me suddenly. These are all valid ways of knowing you made a connection with your magical hedgehog. 

Hedgehogs have a soul just like we do. They leave an energetic blueprint in their wake. After working with your hedgehog for a while, you’ll begin to feel their energy and essence quite readily. 

The Magical Uses of Hedgehog Animal Familiar

Once a relationship has been established, you can work with your hedgehog spirit animal whenever you like! Be sure to always be respectful and to show gratitude. Hedgehogs are pretty easygoing, but like anyone else, they deserve love and respect. 

Hedgehog magic can be incorporated into any spell, charm, or amulet. You may even find yourself connecting with a hedgehog so much that you decide to adopt one as a pet! Just know that it is unlikely a real-life hedgehog will be your magical familiar. 

Remember that a familiar is a magical creature that assists you in magical workings! They protect, provide guidance, and shield you from any harmful entities that emerge on your mystical path. This isn’t something that a physical animal can do so easily, though there are rare cases. 

You don’t need an actual hedgehog to perform any spell, remedy, or ritual. All you need is the energetic blueprint of a hedgehog animal familiar to begin working spells with them. If you have a hedgehog as a pet, even better! 

But, I wouldn’t run out and buy one to perform magic. It is completely unnecessary. I recommend only adopting animals in situations where you feel called to do so, but that’s just me :) 

The more you work with the hedgehog animal familiar, the easier this will get! Keep working at it and include hedgehog magic in out-of-the-ordinary spells to challenge yourself. This will build your relationship with the spiritual essence of the animal. 

You can also surround yourself with hedgehog imagery, and embroidered pillows, and add a hedgehog statuary to your garden to get a feel for the animal. You could even create a hedgehog altar or sacred space to show love and appreciation to your new ally. 

I recommend a hedgehog altar in the garden! You could put a cute hedgehog statue in your garden, plant its favorite flowers, add some gemstones to the soil, and leave offerings. Your hedgehog guide will greatly appreciate it.

This is a blog post on how to work with plant familiars and incorporate them into your green witchcraft practice! Most magical people recognize that plants are magic, but did you know some plant spirits can become plant familiars and assist you with magical workings? Today, we’re going to delve into the world of plant familiars!

What are familiars? When you become a witch, usually as a birthright, you’ll receive an ally to assist you in walking your spiritual path. This ally is best known as an animal familiar, but familiars can take on the form of plants, fairies, nymphs, and insects. The familiar is there to help you with magical workings.

Sometimes, a familiar can be a physical plant or animal, but I’d say that’s much more rare. Typically, a familiar will be astral. You might meet your familiar while hedge riding or during meditation.

My main animal familiar is a hedgehog that lives in the astral realm and typically works with me whenever I hedge ride! We do spells together on the other side and take trips together to otherworldly places, and my hedgehog familiar is a constant source of comfort to me.

However, my hedgehog familiar isn’t my only familiar, just my main familiar. I have a familiar root that I created from a master root that I connected with instantly from the Phytognosis shop on Etsy. It was love at first sight!

In addition to my root plant familiar, I also have two aloe vera plant familiars that I keep in a sunny window in my kitchen! These plant familiars are physical, meaning they are real houseplants, and they assist me in many of my magical workings. In addition to that, I have a clover plant I keep in a dark corner of my tiny place that also assists me with my green witchcraft practice.

What is the difference between a plant spirit and plant familiars and plant allies?

Plant allies are friendly and helpful! In this case, you might connect with them for the occasional plant spell, in your home, or the wild. You might find them while wildcrafting on a nature walk in the forest. You might even have a good working relationship with them whenever you run across them!

These are the herbaceous plants that you might find in the wild. They can be anything from magical yarrow to wildflowers in bloom. It is the wild where you’ll leave a plant offering of tiny gemstones, a squeeze of honey, or a prayer for its species to repopulate. These are the plant spirits you might use time and time again!

Plant familiars, on the other hand, are typically going to be houseplants used in magical workings full-time. In this case, you’ll be able to visit your plant familiar in the astral realm and connect with it while hedge riding. You most likely will have a houseplant or physical copy of the plant in the earthly realm.

When working with a plant familiar, you’ll form a magical bond that ties you together. The best way to create a plant familiar is using a houseplant in a potted plant spell. In this process you’ll begin to feel the magic of the plant and how to work with him or her!

This magical working relationship is extremely special and unique! The plant can assist you in magical workings, herbal remedies, and astral realms. To bond with your plant familiar is quite exquisite!
