Your gateway to endless inspiration
I see a lot of blog posts about tips for incorporating witchcraft into your daily life, and honestly, a lot of it is fluff and garbage. Here’s some actual tips that can honestly and actually improve your practice.
Meditate daily. It doesn’t have to be for long, 10 minutes is great. I find doing it right before bed really helps me get to sleep easier.
Read. If you read regularly, every once in a while instead of reading for pleasure read an occult text. In addition, I find even pleasure reading can help you improve visualization abilities.
Observe. Take a moment out of your day to just observe everything going on around you. Focus each of your senses and observe that moment in full clarity.
Daydream. Honestly. It helps with visualization. If you get really into it, let your brain go to autopilot and observe where it goes.
Make a sigil. You don’t even have to cast it right yet, save it for later. The process is easy and it takes a few minutes out of your day tops. When you forget what it means, cast it on some other day by your preferred method.
Automistic writing. It can be fun. Keep a journal of whatever you write down and see if you can pick out any symbolism or themes within it.
Divination. It’s easy as hell to do a simple divination daily. If you don’t have time to interpret it, record your results and go back later.
Take a moment when you wake up to dwell on your dreams. If you’re feeling particularly saucy, keep a dream journal.
Bathe. It’s not related to magick, but it’s relaxing and nobody likes a stinky occultist. No it won’t magically cleanse you, but it certainly will physically.
Keep track of the planetary days and hours. If the moment strikes you, do a little something in the hour and day of a planet you want to have more influence on you.
Do a daily banishing ritual. Either design one yourself, or choose one that resonates with you. Once practiced, a banishing ritual takes 10 minutes tops. Do it before bed or when you wake up.
These are all easy things, they don’t take much time or energy, and they go a long way towards helping improve your practice. Instead of taking your regular routine and pretending it’s already inherently magical, take the miniscule time and energy to fit a few of these into your day. It’s honestly not hard at all.
