178: Waste Not Want Not Magick

Welcome back, witches! Today we’re talking about Waste Not, Want Not Magick, because contrary to what the internet may have led us to believe, your spell does not require a pricey bank breaking crystal, a rare herb harvested under a blood moon, and a candle in a color that apparently only exists on Etsy, in order to work.

Witchcraft has always been about working with what is around you. The herbs in the kitchen, the weeds growing through the cracks, the stone you found on a walk, the old key in the junk drawer, the candle stub you refused to throw away because, obviously, it still has at least one good spell left in it.

In this episode, we’re looking at the magick already hiding in plain sight. We’ll talk about honoring the natural energies and histories of everyday objects, finding correspondences through intuition and observation, working with the land around you, and turning scraps, leftovers, broken things, and ordinary household objects into useful magical tools.

Because being a witch is not about owning the most stuff. It’s about knowing how to see the spirit, purpose, and possibility in the stuff you already have.

So grab your half-burned candles, your suspicious collection of empty jars, and whatever weird little treasures you’ve been saving because “I might use that for witchcraft someday.”

Today is someday.
