*angrily shuffles tarot deck in hopes for an answer that doesn’t involve calling me out, telling me to quit my shit, and/or telling me that I’ve been avoiding my problems for too long*
I just made some offering boxes to put into the wickercreature at Castlefest, so I wanted to share some ideas! I had this idea for a while and finally found some time and energy to make some.
What you need:
🔥 Pretty patterned paper (I got some paper blocks from the dollar store)
🔥 Spell ingredients/Offerings (anything goes as long as it burns)
Find a favourite tutorial for an origami box online. I used this one. And fold your pretty papers into a box. If you want, decorate the box a bit more. I made three: one for the Goddess Baduhenna, one for Nehalennia and one for the Horned God. I designed bindrunes for them and put them on the bottom of the boxes.
I got some fresh flowers from my garden and wrote down some poems (and made my own) to dedicate to the Gods. Then I added some herbs, lots of Marjoram as a taglock (my name means Marjoram) and even a bit of my favourite perfume. I wanted to make it as personal as possible.
Now simply close them and tie them shut. I used wool in the colours that matched the deities I’m making them for. I also tied some pretty flower to the top!
And there it is! Now my boxes are ready to be sacrificed! Of course you can substitute any offerings by spell ingredients to make it into a spellbox! Have fun, and as always, feel free to tag me when you make these! 🌙
Great idea! If you use the right kind of paper and string, these would even be biodegradable for burying.
So I took my own idea and tried out an acorn charm! I’m an empath, so I made this one to help me stay grounded when surrounded by people!!
Ingredients:
(1) acorn, any size – associated with success, luck, and wishes.
(1) drill with a small bit.
(1) Xacto knife.
Assorted gem chips and herbs associated with your intent – I used amethyst, tiger’s eye, quartz, citrine, and carnelian for gems; marjoram, mint leaf, and lemon grass for herb.
Glue.
Prep: Gently remove the cap from the acorn. Using a drill or knife, carefully hollow out the center of the acorn, aka the nut. Use an xacto knife or similar to scoop out the rest of the nut (as a discord friend informed me, this part of the acorn is soft and will rot over time, so make sure you get all of it!!!).
Stuff your now hollow acorn with your herb and gem chips while focusing on your intent. Allow the energy to flow for as long as you feel necessary. Apply your glue to the inside of the acorn’s cap and press it gently back onto the top. Imagine it “sealing” your intent inside. Leave the glue to dry.
Casting: Once dry, charge or activate the charm as you normally would. Done!
I’m excited to try out these charms this fall!!! In theory, they should be easy to make, concealable in travel alters, bags, pockets, or worn as jewelry, and safe to dispose of if you like to bury your charms in nature.
Feel free to use and let me know if they work out for you!!
may the bridges I burn light the way
