Hey everyone! This is my list of resources I have made over the course of the existence of this blog, pertaining specifically to death witchcraft and spirit work. I hope it helps some of you, and provides a resource for you to use! I’ve also thrown in my death work stuff as well. Please note you can do these three things separately, I just choose to put them together for my own personal practice! Some items are from my old blog.
Hello darlings! Today I really want to talk about magical waters. I’ll start with simple waters, then one ingredient waters, and then composite waters. Waters is pretty much anything like water that is used magically, so it ranges from storm water to tobacco and damiana tincture, and other stuff. Any of these can be collected whenever is convenient, but I added the time to collect them to make them more potent.
Natural Waters
Rain Water:
Rain water can be used for any spell to make it more potent, but it is a useful tool in peace magic, to quell anger, to relax, and for dream magic. Collect whenever you want.
Storm Water:
Storm water can be either protective or offensive. Use it to wash down your doors to protect you from hexes, and wash your tools with it to amplify their power. You can use it in any hexes or curses you want. To amplify it, add rusty nails to it and let turn rusty. Collect on a waxing gibbous moon.
Swamp Water:
Can be used in works for binding, hexing, or cloaking. Use when wanting to cause illness. Annoint yourself with swamp water to make yourself unnoticeable to others. Colelct on the dark moon (second new moon of the month) or on the new moon.
Marsh Water:
Marsh water is almost the same as swamp water, but it is more suitable for cloaking than other things. It can also be used for cleansing negative energies. Colelct on waning crescent moon.
Hail Water:
Hail water is melted hailstones. Use it for protection or hexing. Similar to storm water, but more aggressive. Use when you want to break sojmeone, or when you wish to cause physical harm. Collect during a full moon for best results.
Salt Water:
Salt water can be used for cleansing and protection from negativity. Simply add salt to water.
Sea Water:
Use sea water in works involving the psyche, or in hexing. It can also be used for cleansing. I use it to work with demonic forces as well. Collect on a new moon.
Lake Water:
Lake water is amazing in works concerning emotions, love, memories, or past life regressions. Boil it and drink it to enhance attempts for past life regressions. Collect on waxing moon.
Pond Water:
Use when wanting to bind someone, or to limit their horizons. Keep a flower vase with pond water in it on a table to silence a conversation to those not sitting at it. Collect on a dark moon.
Spring Water:
Spring water is super versatile. Use it instead of tap water.
Dew:
Dew can allow the witch to cast powerful glamours for beauty and youth. It is an important ingredient in love potions. Collect at sunrise during a waxing or full moon.
Self Water:
Fancy word for spit or urine. This one is a little nasty, but it is to be used whenever a spell needs to be tied to the caster.
Simples
Sun Water:
Bask any sort of water in the sun for a full day. Use it for cleansing, to bring positivity into a space, or for glamours of youth.
Moon Water:
Used to power up any spell. Let water sit in the light of a full moon for a full night.
Tobacco Water:
Steep tobacco into water for a week in the fridge. When strained, mix with 100 proof vodka, about 1.5 parts water for 1 part vodka. Use it to cleanse or to offer to spirits when working with them. Can be used to cause addiction in a person.
Saffron Water:
Steep saffron into water and mix 1 part water with 1 part vodka. Use to raise winds by sprinkling it in the air, or rub on your lips before whistling and raising storms.
Rose Water:
Use for love, glamours, and beauty. Steep fresh rose petals in vodka for a period of 4 weeks, and then extract all the liquid from the petals by pressing them until they have lost their color. Cut with 0.5 part water.
Orange Blossom Water:
Use for joy, beauty, cleansing, and sunshine. Prepare in the same way as the rose water.
Lilac Water:
Use lilac water for sleep, dream magic, spirit work, and cleansing. Prepare in the same way you would prepare the other flower waters.
Apple Blossom Water:
Create this by the same manner as the three flower waters above. Use for protection, love, and beauty.
Holly Water:
Holly water is to be used to protect your family. It will prick at intruders, or unwelcomed guests. It will also allow you to always have knoledge of the safety of your family. Simply steep holly leaves in water and mix with vodka. Do not ingest this, as it is poisonous.
Composites
All Bite no Bark Water:
A powerful water used for protection of a space. Mix together storm water, hair of a black dog, dirt of a grave, the ashes of psalm 7, rose thorns, teeth of a canidae, and three holly berries. Pour around a room which you wish to protect, or water protective plants to give their produce an aggressive kick. This water will protect a space with the ferocity of a rabid dog, and will not warn before attacking.
Fiery Wall of Protection Water:
Mix together sun water with three hot peppers, red brick dust, pottasium nitrate (saltpeter), sulfur, and blackthorn pricks. Another like the above, but more passive. Attacker might suffer a rash after encountering it.
Pitch Water:
Use pitch water to stop someone from making any progress. Mix together water from a swamp, gum arabic or acacia, charcoal dust, and chapparal. It can also be used to dissorient. Fair warning, this water is hella sticky.
Fuck Off Water:
Mix together sumac, apple seeds, thorns of a blackberry, cloves and storm water. Use it to repel unwanted people.
Goodbye Lover Water:
Mix together sea water, sumac, cloves, poppy seeds, thorns of a cactus, petals of a hibiscus flower, and saltpeter. Use it to get rid of unwanted courters or lovers, or to make two people break up.
I hope you guys find this useful! Make sure to be careful with any of the potentially dangerous ingredients listed, and put these to good use! Good luck my darlings.

What People Think Odin Does For Fun; Brood, sit around mysteriously in armor with horns.
What He Actually Does For Fun; Cackles to himself as he posts Spongebob memes, makes highest quality shitposts, trolls fundamentalist Christians for shits n’ giggles
As someone who is friendly to all, with a small circle of highly trusted people, this bothers me.
I will forever be your friend. I will be the best friend I can be to you. You don’t get to take advantage of my kindness for your own benefit. That’s not how friendship works. Nonny, you can’t say you’re “friends” with anyone if you’re only being kind for selfish gratifications. You don’t get to piggy back off of another’s hard work, reap the benefits, and give nothing of yourself to this person who gives you their all.
(**Please feel free to substitute any of the mentioned herbs/crystals, this is simply what I used for my bottle**)
This is a silent casting. This means I do not speak, only visualize my intent during the spell. This is my personal preference, feel free to add whatever affirmations and words you wish.
This spell bottle was designed by myself, to be used to protect the home, it’s living inhabitants, welcomed spirits and any who walk into my home. As such, it’s purpose it to “filter and destroy” negative energy, and “return to sender” any curses or hexes coming my way.
Being a death witch, this spell is catered to the use of death energy as the bottle’s job is to kill any incoming negativity.
A “Sponge” (dried deer moss & snakeskin in this case, can be substituted with dead grass, hay, dried green moss, etc)
Black candle wax
Incense
Crystals (obsidian, smoky quartz)
First, make sure your bottle is clean and dry. You dont want any of these herbs to mold inside the bottle.
Second, you’ll want to fill the bottom of the bottle with the graveyard dirt.
Add in your powdered/ground herbs; black salt, ground eggshells, sage.
Add each of your chosen herbs, charging them with their intent in the bottle.
Add your sponge on top of your base mix of herbs.
CAREFULLY add your screws, needles, etc. Try to get them to land in the sponge if possible.
Add any other things you may want to add, including crystals. Ashes of burned sigils, wishes or affirmations is a great add in.
Now, take your incense and fill your bottle carefully with smoke. This is optional, but allows you to more easily visualize the bottle becoming full with protective energies. You can use this time to affirm. “All negativity with be trapped and confused within the smoke screen of my spell.”
Seal the bottle with a cork, lid or fabric. Take your black candle and seal the entire bottle.
Hold your bottle in your hands and speak to it, mentally or verbally. Fill it with death energy (*will go over death energy in another post), let it know what it’s purpose is:
“All who enter the threshold are filtered and cleansed; their negativity will not live in my home.”
“May those who would try to harm me suffer their own spell.”
After charging your spell with your intent and energy, decorate your bottle however you wish. In my case, I used a hay like rope to further bind, true to the scarecrow notion, with a small piece of Labradorite and a warding sigil in gold. Decorating is best done if you intend to keep it in your home.
You may also bury it on your property if you dont want to think about it.
For some extra “oomph”, I would charge your bottle with appropriate crystals overnight.
And there you have it! Your own Scarecrow bottle!
Make sure to ground! You’ve probably incured a lot of death energy 🖤
