Oh, guys. Oh. Guys. This, if you’re ever stuck on how to perform a spell! Handy little guide of awesome.
If you want to work with ancestors or guardian spirits, put it to the North. If you want to work from a place of innocence, put it to the South. If you want its effect to be strong and quick, burn it. If you want it to curse- burn it then bury in the West of a crossroads. If you want to break curses, soak it in water in the West. If you want to add extra power to your spell, dance before dealing with the incantation. If you want it to work by means of spirits, call to the directions If you want it to work by demons, put it in the forever-dark place If you want it to work by angels, burn then put ashes into sanctified water. If you want it to cleanse, shred it and bind in a bundle of sage. If you desire freedom from a situation- do it behind your back.
