Okay, so today I decided to mess around with some New Orleans-style witchcraft. I’ve always been fascinated by the city and its, like, mystical vibes. I’m no expert, just a curious dabbler, so don’t expect any dark magic or anything!
Getting Started
First, I gathered some basic supplies. I mean, you can’t do anything without the right tools, right? So I got:
- Some candles – white for purity and good vibes, green for prosperity, because who doesn’t want a little extra cash?
- Some herbs – I picked up some dried basil (for protection, I think) and bay leaves (for wishes, supposedly).
- Crystals – I already had a few lying around: clear quartz (for general good energy) and amethyst (for intuition).
- A little bowl of water.
- Some incense – I went with sandalwood, it just smells nice and calming.
The “Ritual” (If You Can Call It That)
I didn’t follow any specific spell or anything. I just kind of winged it. I lit the candles and the incense, placed the crystals around the bowl of water, and held the herbs in my hand.
Then, I just closed my eyes and tried to focus on what I wanted. I visualized good things happening: feeling more confident, attracting positive energy, and maybe, just maybe, finding a twenty-dollar bill on the sidewalk. Hey, a guy can dream!

I spent a few minutes just breathing and focusing, then I wrote down a few intentions on a bay leaf and dropped it into the water. It felt… peaceful. Like a little mini-meditation session with some extra oomph.
The Aftermath
Honestly, I don’t know if it “worked” or not. I didn’t suddenly become a master sorcerer or anything. But I did feel more relaxed and centered afterward. Maybe it was just the placebo effect, or maybe there’s something to this whole ritual thing. I guess,I will keep a positive mind.
I’m definitely going to keep experimenting with this stuff, in a safe and respectful way, of course. It’s fun to explore these traditions and see if they can add a little bit of magic to everyday life. But that’s it, I will share my experience with you all next time!
