Backyard Magick ~ Part Two ~ "Rocks"

~ Rocks ~

Rocks are classified into three main categories: igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic. Igneous rocks are formed from heat and fire, sedimentary rocks are formed from particles being pressed together over a long period of time, and metamorphic rocks are formed when a sedimentary or igneous rock changes form due to pressure and/or heat. 

Igneous rocks contain properties of both earth and fire. One common type of igneous rock is granite, a very hard stone. Magickally, granite can be used in spells for defense, protection, perseverance, stability and lasting passion.

Sedimentary rocks are great for energy combining spells. Sandstone, rock salt, chert, coal, dolomite, flint and limestone, just to name a few.

Metamorphic rocks, such as quartzite, slate, soapstone, gneiss, or phyllite can be used for causing change or transformation. 

Backyard Magick ~ Part One ~ "Dirt"

 ~ Dirt ~

"Above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don't believe in magic will never find it."  ~Roald Dahl

Dirt is filled with the power of the earth, influenced and charged with the energies of the surrounding environment, it makes a very versatile ingredient for a variety of purposes in spell working. Dirt has the magickal attributes of strength and wealth, but it can have additional properties depending on where you gather it.  Graveyard  dirt is great for conjuring spirits or communicating with the dead, and it's also useful in magick intended to cause a termination or a waning of power. Use it for protection works, love, home and family, binding, injustice, ancestor works and spirit guidance.

While dirt found near large, old trees or found in agriculture fields or gardens, is especially powerful for wealth and to increase fertility, virility or for the germination of ideas, dreams and hopes. Fertility doesn't always mean child conception. Dirt from riverbanks, lakeside, or other ares prone to erosion is useful for transformative magick. Use the dirt where it is at, by casting your spell for transformation or reduction into the dirt covered area with high erosion and let the next rain wash it away.

Dirt gathered from sunny, grass covered areas will contain solar energy, while dirt from banks will lend help for prosperity and financial matters. The dirt from churches or temples of worship is considered 'holy' and purifying. 

There are a lot of ways to use dirt magickally, you can empower a pinch of dirt with an energy and then discreetly dust a bit of it over your body, your magick tools, or anythings else being used in the workings. Dirt can be used in 'gris gris' bags and used as feeding dust or powder also. Mix with spell waters, oils and herbs to make mud charms, or mix to make a liquid stain for painting and writing. With just a little creative thought, dirt can become a powerful spell tool.
