Black tourmaline A black or white candle Bowl of earth or salt Quiet space Sit with your feet on the floor. Place black tourmaline in your lap. Light the candle. Say: “I call upon grounding, protection, and clarity.” Visualize a column of energy rising from the earth, moving through your spine, up through the crown of your head. Place your hands on the tourmaline. Say: “What is not mine returns to earth. What is mine grows strong and steady.” Place the stone in your pocket or bra for the next 24 hours. This is one of the most powerful grounding spells you can do —simple, ancient, effective. This ritual works because it: engages the body uses vertical grounding (earth → spine → crown) reinforces energetic sovereignty This is one of the oldest somatic grounding techniques, wrapped in the language of witchcraft. And yes—it works. You are not pushing anything away. You are claiming your space .

What is mine is mine.” Hold the key and breathe intention into it. Leave it near your door. Your home now has a magical “security system.” No subscription fees. Just sovereignty. This ritual works because it: uses repetition marks liminal space reinforces personal authority Doorways are ancient magic points. Every culture knew this. You are not commanding. You are claiming . And the difference matters.

- Lunar Magick 101: The Phases, the Folklore, and the Witchcraft of the MoonMar 1, 2026 · 26 minHere are the altar directions and the ritual steps. Feel free to email me at atouchofmagick27@gmail.com, I would love to hear from you. CRYSTALS, HERBS & ALTAR FOR LUNAR WORK Crystal: Moonstone Soft intuition. Divine feminine energy. Dreamwork. Emotional wisdom. Moonstone is your lunar bestie. Jasmine for dreamwork & lunar beauty. Mugwort for intuition & divination. Water bowl Mirror White candle Lunar journal Your lunar altar is not about aesthetics. It’s about resonance. Moonstone doesn’t sparkle for show—she teaches emotional fluency. Jasmine softens the veil between waking and dreaming. Mugwort sharpens intuition like a blade wrapped in velvet. Water remembers intention. Mirrors reflect truth. Candles hold focus. Your altar doesn’t need to be perfect. It needs to feel alive . A simple but potent lunar ritual. A glass jar or bowl Water A mirror A candle Fill the jar with water and set it under the moon. Say: “Moon above, bless this water with your light.” Light a candle beside the bowl. This symbolizes illumination. Hold a mirror so the moon reflects in it (or imagine it indoors). Say: “As above, so within. I reflect your clarity.” Use the moon water for: cleansing tools anointing candles adding to ritual baths soothing your energy This ritual works for ANY phase— just adjust the intention: New Moon: Beginning Waxing: Growth Full: Power Waning: Release This ritual works because it’s elemental. Water receives. Fire awakens. Reflection reveals. When you bless moon water, you are not borrowing power—you are syncing with a rhythm older than language. Let the ritual be slow. Let it be felt. Magic doesn’t need spectacle. It needs presence.
