Most people recognize blackthorn for its berries. Fewer know the tree’s long, razor-sharp thorns have been used in European folk magic for generations.

Blackthorn spikes are commonly incorporated into protection, boundary, justice, binding, and warding work. They can be used to pin petitions, secure charm bags, strengthen witch bottles, or mark the protective boundaries of a ritual space.

We’ve just added imported European blackthorn spikes to the shop. Each glass vial contains five genuine spikes, ready for your magical practice.

How have you used blackthorn in your work?

Not all black salt is created for the same purpose.

In this reel, I’m featuring several blends thehurriedhare including formulas for Home Protection, Personal Protection, and Sweet Dreams. They’re a great example of how black salts can be crafted with different magical intentions.

A general-purpose black salt can absolutely be dedicated toward your own magical work. Other black salts are intentionally created with a specific objective already in mind, making them a practical choice when your working has a clear focus.

Before buying any magical tool, ask yourself one simple question:

“What do I need this to do?”

The answer will often guide you to the right tool for the work.

Were you aware there are different types of magical black salt?

If you could only keep one herb in your magical cabinet, rosemary would be hard to beat.

Used for centuries in both magical and folk traditions, rosemary is valued for protection, purification, blessing, remembrance, and strengthening spiritual work. It’s equally at home in spell bags, candle magic, cleansing washes, incense blends, and ritual baths.

Simple to find, affordable, and remarkably versatile, it’s one of those herbs that every practitioner, beginner or experienced, can put to good use.
If rosemary disappeared tomorrow, what herb would take its place in your practice?

Let me know below.

Whether you’re just starting your practice or you’ve been at it for years, rosemary is one of the most versatile herbs you can keep on hand.

Traditionally associated with purification, protection, remembrance, and blessing, rosemary finds its way into countless forms of magical work. Add it to spell bags, dress candles, incorporate it into floor washes, burn it with incense, or use it in ritual baths.

If you only had room for one magical herb in your apothecary, rosemary would be a strong contender.

Do you use rosemary in your practice? I’d love to hear your favorite way to work with it.

Before you gather your herbs, choose a candle, or anoint your tools, take a moment to write your petition.

A well-written petition begins with a clearly defined intention. Rather than writing from a place of longing with phrases like “I hope,” “I wish,” or “I want,” try writing from the outcome you’re cultivating, using the present tense.

It’s a small shift, but one that can bring greater clarity and purpose to your ritual practice.

A client traveled overseas and kept running into the same local man wherever she went. They exchanged numbers, but because of the nature of her trip, they never had the opportunity to spend time together. When she returned home, she didn’t want the story to end there. Remembering she had a Come to Me Mini Spell Kit from The Crooked Path, she decided to give it a try.

A Come to Me working utilizes the energy of Mars to draw a desired person toward you. She dressed a red candle with Come to Me oil, added the accompanying herbs, and performed the working.

Two weeks later, he booked a trip to Los Angeles to visit her. They spent an incredible week together.

Spellcrafting is not as simple as lighting a candle or making a spell bag. It’s important to feel what you are trying to achieve and put that energy into the work you’re undertaking. We always recommend writing a concise statement of intention of what you want to happen, as if it’s happened, in present tense. 

Results are not guaranteed.
