Merlin is my companion and my familiar. So, I figured that his name should be the title of this Witch's room. I'm going to post spells, both new and well used ones, and all kinds of information on the craft. I'm a 5th generation Witch, so I have a lot of older learning that I would love to pass on. Come in, have a cup of tea, pet my cat, and maybe learn something along the way

Lets make a poppet!
UNWANTED HABIT SPELL
To eliminate an unwanted habit, make a poppet of yourself out of cloth, straw, or a carved candle.
Make symbols or words on it to indicate what you want to release forever, allowing anger to build within you that you have practiced this unwanted behavior. Call upon Pluto or Hecate to assist your resolve to fully carry out change in you life.
Then, using a safe container such as an iron cauldron or metal bowl, anoint the poppet with a few drops of oil of myrrh, pennyroyal, rosemary, or rue, and then carefully set it on fire, visualizing the release of your unwanted habit or trait forever.
Burn the poppet to ashes, and then take the ashes to a place where you have no need to be at any time soon. Bury it, turn firmly, and walk away. Don't look Back.
SELF-IMPROVEMENT SPELL
Items needed: wooden clothespin, black felt-tipped marker, small piece of paper
on which you have written the bad habit that you wish to dispel, some black thread,
a pin, black pepper.
Shield, ground and center, cast circle, charge of the Goddess.
Sit quietly and meditate on changes you wish to occur.
Raise power by chanting the following:
"This spell I do, within my rights to be free
Darken my house no more! Begone! Begone from me!"
Color clothespin with black pen and tie pieces of paper (mentioned above) around the
clothespin and secure with black thread.
Sprinkle clothespin with pepper, and then stick pin into clothespin while repeating the same chant.
Bury the clothespin near your front door.
CLEAR AWAY THE OLD WITH CRYSTALS
There are many aspects of our lives which we would like to improve, but we just can't muster up the willpower. In your time of need, a crystal can come to your aid.
You can program a crystal to help you lose weight stop smoking or overcome any negative attitudes about yourself. For example, you want to stop eating chocolate but just can't. (I don't recommend this one, eating chocolate is life!!!)
You know you should stop for health reasons but you don't have the will power.
Try programming a crystal by telling it something like,
"I have completely lost any desire for chocolate."
Wear the crystal around your neck or keep it in a pocket.
Whenever you want chocolate, touch your crystal and feel the urge dissipate.
To get the most out of your crystal, you need to get the right crystal in the first place.
Pick a crystal by attraction, by being drawn to touch it, and then hold it loosely in your left hand.
Notice the impressions, colors, sounds, and feelings you pick up. No two crystals are the same.
Each crystal has its own unique vibration, and each will resonate differently. It should feel alive in your hand, vibrate, or radiate. In other words, it should feel good.
Before you use your crystals cleanse it. The easiest way to clean your crystal is to put in in some salt water. (heavy on the salt) Now, you're ready to enjoy your crystal!
I don't recommend using salt or salt water to clean crystals. It can harm some crystals, like calcite, malachite, rhodochrosite, selenite, hematite, and apatite.
