Witchcraft and Eggshells

It helps block negative energies from a physical space so pressing it into chalk form, or sprinkling it can work as a barrier to keep unwanted energies away.

Some say it even blocks out the benign energies at work as well, so it’s great for those times when you need to reset for a little while.

Sprinkle it across thresholds such as windows and doors or even use it to draw sigils. 

It can also be used to enhance your intuition because it protects you from that which seeks to take advantage of you when making decisions.

Simply rubbing a little of the powder on you or dabbing a dot onto your third eye energy point is said achieve this. 

Another use is purification and is especially useful in the bath. 

It dissolves easily in water so adding it to a bath intended for purification can amp up the cleansing effect.  

 How to make it:

1. Boil water in a pot
2. Place empty eggs shells in boiling water carefully.
3. Boil for 10 minutes.
4. Drain water from shells and place on paper towel to dry overnight.
5. When shells are completely dried, place them on a cookie sheet lined with parchment.
6. Bake egg shells for about 10 minutes or until they are completely dried at 200 degrees (F).
7. When cool enough to handle, place egg shells a few at time into an electric coffee grinder and pulse until finely ground.
8. Store in airtight container away from heat or moisture. 

To protect from Salmonella (a harmful bacteria that can make you sick) store your used egg shells in the egg carton and refrigerate until you are ready to boil your shells, making sure never to leave them sitting out for long. 

Egg shells make great plant food so you can share with your plants. I use this in my homemade pet food as a calcium supplement.

Are You A Witch?

Witches are men or women who use the energy of the universe to accomplish what they desire to do.

The Old Religion is the magic of Nature itself. It is the essence which binds all things together.

Are you a Witch?

Let's take a look at the signs and characteristics that you may recognize within yourself.

Witches, don’t create or fix problems, they work with nature and energy to bring things into alignment.

You Are Connected With Nature

This is one of the most revealing signs. Witches work with the energy of the magic of the earth and nature. They align many of their practices to the lunar and solar phases. Have you ever felt unexplainable energy on a full moon or new moon? 

Have you ever felt more at peace in nature—deep in a forest or near a body of water—than inside a crowded place?

Feeling at peace in nature says a lot about that you.

You feel alive and your senses are essentially heightened when you are in nature.

You Have Rituals

Rituals can be anything from smudging your environment on a certain lunar phase or feeling the need to ground yourself with the soil beneath your feet.

If you use herbs regularly or use essential oils simply because you have a natural tendencies to do so, you are likely connected to the Earth’s energy.

You Communicate With Animals

You already know if this describes you.

Animals are drawn to you and are you drawn to them.

You may have discovered that many animals find you and you find them during your lifetime. 

This is a good sign.

Your Intuition Is Strong

Have you ever felt the vibes and energy from people, places or situations?

This may be because you are likely in-tune with universal energy. Trusting your intuition means you have a strong feeling in your "gut." This extra sense often leads you to the right answer about a situation, the right path, person, or thing whether present, past, or future.

You Have a Familiar

In the Dark Ages, "familiars" were taken more seriously than they are today and were actually thought to be demons by Christians.

Pagans and Witches however, have a much different view, and often refer to their household animal compnaion as their familiar. Familiars can be your cat, dogs, rabbits, wolves, toads and frogs, owls, or other wildlife.

What Is a Familiar?

Familiars are special animals that connect with the Witch they are drawn to and they tend to be smarter, deeper and more attuned with you.

You Collect Natural "Tools"

Rocks, shells, feathers, precious stones, crystals, abalone shells, or natural anomalies. If you have collected these items over the years, you may have been collecting them to "do work." Learning how to use them will often require the guidance of an experienced witch or research by you.

You Have an Understanding of Herbs

Herbs are very important to witches. Herbology is simply the use of herbs to cure or treat physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, or psychic ailments.

You're Introverted by Choice

Many Witches stay busy and avoid distractions and negativity for peace of mind, protecting or keeping your energy positive and healthy. 

Some people can be energy vampires, and Witches much prefer to be in peaceful environment, away from chaos, negativity and mindless activities.

You can feel the energy of people and the places that surround you. 

Witches often can assess an environment or an object's energy.

If something is dark and negative, they will know.  If something has positive energy, a Witch will know.

You Are Open-Minded

Witches are attracted to other unusual, obscure, or atypical individuals. 

The have a deeper appreciation for the arts, tarot, astrology, energy healing, and EARTH, AIR, FIRE, and WATER, the four elements. 

Storms and Natural Events Energize You

If you feel excitement with rainstorms, lightning, the sound of thunder, the crashing of waves or the rush of heavy winds, this is a strong indication of you being a witch.

Some Final Thoughts 

Even though Witchcraft can be taught, Witches often inherit their ability from Grandmothers, Aunts and Mothers.

Perhaps in your family history, someone, somewhere at sometime was a Witch.

Regardless, there is a reason you are attracted to Witchcraft.

If you were drawn to this post it's probably because you have this gift, perhaps it's calling for you.
