I Need Your Help to Figure Out Why Readership is Going Down

Please tell me what I am doing wrong. Since August 2023 views have gone down by more than half. I have done surveys earlier this year to ask you what you want to see on the website as regular posts and have tried to keep the number of emails flooding your inbox down. After trying to do what you want with WOTC my readership has gone way down which means the small amount of money I can make has gone from being paid monthly to every three months. The ads viewed have to add up to $100.00 USD in order for me to make this amount of pocket money.

I am really wondering if you all would like me to give the website to someone else or just let it go completely. I’d keep paying the $40.00 USD yearly to keep the domain name. I feel I am leaving the founder of WOTC, Lady Abyss, down with these number dwindling every month.

Please help me figure out how I am failing you. Should I go back to about 15 to 20 posts every day to bring you more information on a daily basis? Are there regular posts I stopped to keep the number of emails you get that you would like to see me bring back?

You my dear Sisters, Brothers, and Friends are the only ones that can help guide me by telling what you want from WOTC. This is your website more than it is mine I’m just the person behind the scenes bring you what you want. Please be honest even if you think you may sound brutal in the comments or write to me at ladybeltane@witchesofthecraft.com to tell me what I am doing wrong and what you want to see on here.

Thank you for taking your precious time to make a comment and/or write to me. I really do want and appreciate your input.

Uncrossing Spell & Ritual with Incense and Bay Leaf

‘Uncrossing’ means getting rid of all unwanted and unneeded energies and attachments. 💫 If you believe you may be suffering from a hex-related illness or a run of misfortune, try an uncrossing ritual.

There are many different ways to do an uncrossing spell. Almost all cultures have a version of this ritual, which is mainly for removing negative energies. Keep reading and learn how to uncross yourself if you feel someone has cast a harmful spell against you.

How this Uncrossing Spell works

Bay leaf 🍃 is a strongly protective herb with commanding aspects. In the Middle ages, bay leaves were used to protect people from the plague in various spells and charms. Learn more about Bay Leaf Magic.

Cinnamon promotes healing and is used for opening roads and in purification rituals. More spells with Cinnamon.

Two incense sticks ⚔️ are going to act as our uncrossing agent. Some practitioners prefer to use oils, but in this case we will cross two Frankincense sticks to symbolize the act of physically uncrossing all negative energies.

Spell For Monday – Hand of Time Spell

(YOU CAN COPY AND PASTE ANY SPELLS POSTED TO A DOCUMENT TO PRINT AND/OR SAVE ON YOUR COMPUTER FOR PERSONAL USE ONLY)

Time Spells – Hand of Time Spell

When dealing with a weekly spell guide, Mondays are thought to be the logical day for money, love, time and meditation spells. Since Mondays are thought to be the start of the work week, it gives plenty of time for a Monday spell to gain strength throughout the rest of the week.

Items you will need:

Both hands 6 fingers

Hold both of your hands in front of you. Stare at your hands, noticing your palms and fingers, for about thirty seconds. Then, say this chant one time:

“Palms sweaty, From watching clocks. No more. One finger, For every ten docked. Seconds in a minute 1440 in a day. Stop a few, For singing birds And trees that sway.”

This should feel like time has slowed-down and allowed you to appreciate life more.

Spell For Friday – Hibiscus Tea Spell

LOVE SPELL WARNING: Love spells such as this one take the person who you want to love you free will/spirit away. What happens with a spell like this is the person will become obsessed with you to the point of possibly losing their job, which in turn can make them lose their home, automobile, friends, their family, etc. I have heard of people under love spells dying from not eating or drinking when they are not in the presence of the spellcaster 24/7/365. So, unless you want some who only loves you because of a spell you put on them then go for it. But if you want someone to love you because they feel that emotion towards you then please do not do this spell. The same warning goes for animals, birds, reptiles, or anything else that has a heart and can create a bond with someone.

Spell For Wednesday – VANILLA CANDLE SPELL

(YOU CAN COPY AND PASTE ANY SPELLS POSTED TO A DOCUMENT TO PRINT AND/OR SAVE ON YOUR COMPUTER FOR PERSONAL USE ONLY)

VANILLA CANDLE SPELL

Vanilla itself is a scent that is said to relieve stress and it happens to be my favorite.

While holding a vanilla scented candle in both hands visualize your negative aspects such as stress, fear, anger, etc leaving your body. See them flow out of your heart and your mind, and head off into the upper realms of the Universe where the gods can control them. Do this for a few minutes.

Then say to yourself: “I will not feel stressed. I will not feel fear. I am unafraid. I am feeling much better. This day will no doubt be successful. Now light your candle and chant this 3, 6, 9, or 12 times, depending on how big the problem.

“Vanilla, banish my fear,
Burn my stress,
By the Power of the Goddess
Send these things away.”
Let the candle burn until all anxiety disappears.

Spell For Tuesday – Ritual for Success

(YOU CAN COPY AND PASTE ANY SPELLS POSTED TO A DOCUMENT TO PRINT AND/OR SAVE ON YOUR COMPUTER FOR PERSONAL USE ONLY)

This ritual is customizable according to the kind of goal you would like to achieve.

Sometimes we feel ‘weakened’ by the many obstacles that seem to arise in our life, often making it difficult; sometimes everything seems complicated and difficult. And so, we need something ‘special’ to go back to being the lions and lionesses who conquer their own lives!

When we want to feel stronger and when we want to change the energies around us in order to increase the positive possibilities, this simple ritual can help. It is to be done on Tuesdays at noon solar time and at one summertime (specifically: at noon, you must light the candles, which will have been prepared according to the method described by the preparation of candles, minutes or hours before, depending on the time you have available).

The goal of this ritual was to restore winning energies around the person in question (but, as you know, you can do it for yourself; in this case, choose a stone that is significant for you, even crystal, after having purified it as I did).

The candles should be loaded (read the page on how to load the candles if you don’t know how) before the ritual.

You can also read more about success spells here.

The arrangement of the candles is:

White candle in the north, yellow candle in the center, and orange (or red) candle at the bottom. You will be seated behind the red candle.

Since the goal of this ritual was to increase the life force of the person in question so that it attracts positive or successful situations and events, there aren’t any specific words we can use.

I wrote two lines specific to the situation and recited them aloud like the other spells.

Like this:

  1. as the white candle burns, I become more and more protected from the light
  2. as the yellow candle burns, I get stronger and stronger (or: I am successful in…)
  3. as the red (or orange) candle burns, I get stronger and stronger (or: I am successful in…)

Type of candles to use:

As you can see, I used very low candles; now that I have the experience, I work with almost all types of candles; if I use these bases, I always purify/load them by first removing them from the metal casing and, once loaded, putting them back in the casing.

If you use candles in glass cups you have to do the same thing (load them by removing them from the glass), so I almost never use them in glass cups (I find that they are difficult to extract).

Regarding the ideal timing for this type of ritual, I would say it would be this:

Unless you perform rituals that last seven days, using larger candles than the ones shown here doesn’t make sense (they would last too long).

Generally (but, as you can see from my example above, not always!)

I use ‘naked’ candles (like the ones next to them), without metal or glass enclosures. But, as I said, it doesn’t matter, as long as they are prepared (consecrated and loaded) without the wrapping.

If you use high-quality candles, they should burn completely; otherwise, there will be leftovers (you burn the whole candle, but sometimes there is some ‘melted’ wax around): these should be put in a hidden place in the house or in a place where you often go if it is a matter of propitiatory rites (positive); otherwise, as you know, the remnants of the rites to eliminate obstacles and specific negativities must be buried far from home.

Beltane

Beltane

Beltane’s energy is about sexuality, beauty, and manifestation. Make aphrodisiacs, love charms, and potions during this sabbat. Charm your beauty products and makeup and adding botanicals that can boost their magickal properties. Make charms manifesting your goals. Leave them in your wallet, your car, or even every room in your house. Soak orange peels in white vinegar for two weeks, strain, and add the same amount of Moon-blessed water as the vinegar to a bottle. Use it as a mirror cleanser so that whenever you look at your reflection, you see your inner and outer beauty reflected back on you. Make rosewater to add to your laundry wash to imbue your clothes with passionate energies. Put away your winter blankets and clothes. Tuck sachets of cloves, rosemary, and thyme in with them to keep them safe and to ward off moths until you need them again. Place carnelian in any space where you want more passionate energy to reside.

Spell For Sunday – Prayer to Hecate for Justice

(YOU CAN COPY AND PASTE ANY SPELLS POSTED TO A DOCUMENT TO PRINT AND/OR SAVE ON YOUR COMPUTER FOR PERSONAL USE ONLY)

Prayer to Hecate for Justice

Light a black candle during this devotional.

Incense for Hecate:

Myrrh, Dragon’s Blood, Benzoin, Cinnamon.

Offerings to Hecate:

Apples, Almonds, Cakes, Garlic, Grapes, Dandelions, Mushrooms, Oak leaves, Feathers, Moonstone.

Hecate is associated in various ways with crossroads, portals, light, Magic, Witchcraft, knowledge of herbs and poisonous plants.

Hecate is the Divinity of the Underworld who is called the Queen of the night and Goddess of the crossroads. Her three faces turn in all possible directions, and she is often seen with torches.

Some believe that Hecate grants wealth and success to those whose prayers she receives favorably. In the same way, the result of war and victory in games may depend on her, who grants glory to whomever she pleases. This power resembles that of Witchcraft, as Medea – a powerful priestess of Hecate – used to handle magical herbs and poisons with this skill.

Invoke Hecate for justice, whether you’re dealing with a court case or want to return or reverse the damage done to its source.

Devotional text

I call Hecate of the Crossroads,

worshipped at the meeting of three paths, oh lovely one.

In the sky, earth, and sea, you are venerated in your saffron-colored robes.

Funereal daemon, celebrating among the souls of those who have passed.

Persian, fond of deserted places, you delight in deer.

Goddess of night, protectress of dogs, invincible Queen.

Drawn by a yoke of bulls, you are the queen who holds the keys to all the Cosmos.

Commander, Nymph, nurturer of children, you who haunt the mountains.

Pray, Maiden, attend our hallowed rituals;

Be forever gracious to your mystic herdsman and rejoice in our gifts of incense.

 

Hecate, pleased with dark ghosts that wander through the shade, nightly seen.

Make the night moonless so that I might practise my beloved witchcraft undisturbed.

I humbly invoke you, night-wanderer of the underworld, Queen of the dead.

Mother of darkness, give me wisdom. Give me strength.

I am your humble servant. I receive your power, your balanced wisdom,

intelligence and mercy.

Your inner beauty, your sense of justice, the victory of the spirit over matter.

Send me your dreams, visions, astral travels, apparitions,

I will be quiet as a reliable channel for your spiritual wisdom.

I embrace your gifts. I embrace your past and future of victory.

I accept you as my Goddess.

I am your humble servant.

As when men arm themselves for the battle,

then the Goddess is at hand to give victory.

Good is she also when men contend at the games,

for there too the goddess is with them and profits them:

And she is good to stand by horsemen,

and to those whose business is in the grey sea,

and who pray to Hecate and the loud-crashing Earth-Shaker,

easily the glorious Goddess gives great catch,

and easily she takes it away as soon as seen, if so she will.

Spell for Saturday – Two Spells to Get Money that is Owed to You

(YOU CAN COPY AND PASTE ANY SPELLS POSTED TO A DOCUMENT TO PRINT AND/OR SAVE ON YOUR COMPUTER FOR PERSONAL USE ONLY)

To Make Someone Pay You What They Owe You

Items you need:
-3 needles

– piece of paper
-Honey
-Rose Honey
-a Candle

Write the name of the debtor on a piece of paper. Pierce the paper with the 3 needles. Place it in a glass containing equal parts of the two honeys. Place a green candle on the top of the jar and petition Elegua to help you get your money back.

To influence someone to repay a debt

Candles–Seven green (material gain) candles. You can use votives or tapers, it doesn’t matter but with cats, it may be safer to use the votives. You also need 4 yellow candles (gentle persuasion).
Oil–Jasmine
Herbs–Clove or cinnamon.
Incense-Ginger, jasmine, or allspice
Stones-Hematite and tiger’s eye

Timing to do spell–On the full moon or the waxing moon cycle, which is on the 16th of this month for the full moon.

Day-Saturday (which works out perfect this month.

Advice–be certain the debt is actually owed to you before doing this spell. If you think someone owes you a debt but it is not true, you will find yourself being forced to pay back any debts you owe. The spell also works for people who borrow things and don’t bother to return them.

Spellwork–Light the altar candles (altar candles are candles that represent the god and goddess, you can use two white votives or if you can get a hold of them, one gold and one silver candles each to represent them) and the incense. Inscribe the name of the person or people that owe you the debt on the green candles. Anoint the candles from the wick to the end. Set the green candles in the center of your working space. Set the yellow candles around the green ones, with the stones inside the circle. Light the green candles first, then the others. Say the chant 7 times. Leave the yellow candles to burn out completely. Dispose of the wax afterward. Burn only the 7 green candles each night. If you wish, you can burn new yellow candles each night until the 7 green candles are gone.

Chant–

“What was given in trust shall be freely returned
What was mine shall be mine again.”

(YOU CAN COPY AND PASTE ANY SPELLS POSTED TO A DOCUMENT TO PRINT AND/OR SAVE ON YOUR COMPUTER FOR PERSONAL USE ONLY)

Wiccan Prayer: Bless a Friend with your Magic

Light a purple or white candle during this prayer.


Your blessing can help bring change into the life of your friend, no matter the particulars of their situation. Maybe they need healing, protection, or a bit of good luck! 🙌

Thanking our friends in person or giving them a call is always the best way to reach them, but other times we can quietly send our energy to them or meditate and reflect upon the relationship we share with them.

“A friend is someone who understands your past, believes in your future, and accepts you just the way you are” – Unknown

You don’t need to be religious to express thankfulness for your Friends. Light a candle and ask for their blessing to the God and Goddess, the Elements of Nature, or simply to your Higher Self.
