locking mirrors
- oil (cleansing, like olive)

- dip the fingers in the oil, draw a sacred symbol on the mirror, chant that the mirror is closed and no one will enter without protection
note: only silver-backed mirrors have the potential to let things through. you can't lock obsidian mirrors because they're used for scrying (very advanced!)

moon water:
- spells for increasing or initiating something coordinate with the waxing moon so start on/after new moon

- dark of the moon is controversial! casting or not depends on your practice/which dark deities you work with

research: undoing spells, familiars, spirit guides, astral projection, shielding, witch jars, sour jars, reversing spells, returning spells, trapping/ridding spirits, shadow work and light work, going through mirrors?? lol, eggshell powder, jacorei tree, wolf's milk/witch's butter

astral projection ttips: veiling urself stops entities from snatching ur appearance. if something doesn't feel right or you feel like you're bring tricked, visualize your body sending out shockwaves to disrupt illusions. the astral is visualized through the third eye, not the physical eye, so it will feel very familiar/like a memoery! dont get discouraged if it doesn't feel real enough. use protections

graveyard etiquette: greet the guardian, leave an offering like dark bread, lavender, oats, vervain, cornflower, mint, roses, bells, music, alcohol, hardtack skulls, tidying the entrance. no offerings that aid in banishments! ask before taking always! silence ur phone, no new shoes, dont yawn, whistle, or point at or photograph graves. apologize if you step on a grave, say thanks when you leave, leave the way you came.

storm magick splitting the storm! right before the storm starts, go out, get an axe, split a log down the middle. the storm will split and go on either side of you

lemon cleanse: boil lemons, add salt and cinnamon and cloves and lavender and rosemary. bake the lemons at 170 for 6 hours. the aroma is cleansing and you can hang the lemons by doors
