Okay, so I’ve been seeing this “modern witchcraft” thing pop up all over my socials, and honestly, I was curious. I’m not talking about, like, actual spells and curses, more like… manifesting, crystals, tarot cards, that kind of vibe. So, I decided to dive in and see what all the fuss was about. I’m calling it my little experiment in “modern witchcraft.”
Getting Started with my supplies
First, I gathered some supplies. I didn’t go crazy, just picked up a few things that seemed to be popular.
- Crystals: I got a clear quartz (apparently, it’s good for general energy), a rose quartz (for love and stuff), and an amethyst (for calm… which I desperately need). They just look pretty in my house.
- Candles: Just some plain white ones, nothing fancy. I read somewhere that white is a good all-purpose color.
- A journal: Gotta write down my “intentions” and observations, right? I found a cute one with a moon on the cover.
- Tarot cards: Okay, this was a bit intimidating, but I found a beginner’s deck with a guidebook.
Trying Out Some “Spells” (aka Intentions)
I didn’t know where to start, I found some simple rituals online. Mostly it’s about setting intentions, which is basically just focusing on what you want. Here’s what I tried:
-
A little “money manifestation” thing:
I lit a white candle, held the clear quartz, and visualized money flowing into my life.
I wrote down my financial goals in my journal, too.
Did it work? Well, I didn’t win the lottery, but I did get a small unexpected bonus at work the next week. Coincidence? Maybe.
-
A “self-love” ritual: This one felt a bit cheesy, but I went with it.
I lit another candle, held the rose quartz, and repeated some affirmations about loving myself.
It actually felt pretty good, like a little self-care session.
Dabbling with Tarot
The tarot cards were the most confusing part.
I tried doing a simple three-card spread (past, present, future). The guidebook helped me interpret the cards, but honestly, it felt pretty vague.
I’m not sure I “get” tarot yet, but it was kind of fun, like a little game.
My Overall Experience
So, after a couple of weeks of this “modern witchcraft” experiment, what’s my verdict? It’s… surprisingly relaxing.
I think the real power is in taking time for yourself, focusing on your goals, and creating a positive mindset.
The crystals and candles just add a nice ambiance. Will I keep doing it? Yeah, probably. It’s a fun way to add a little mindfulness and intention to my life.
It’s not about magic, really, it’s more about… intention and self-care.
And hey, if it helps me manifest a little extra cash or feel a bit more confident, I’m not complaining!
I learned a lot from the little experiment.
