Since you’re here, I will assume you’re one of those wonderful people who enjoy their life with a sprinkle of whimsy. Naturally, during your adventures on the internet, you must have encountered those magickal witchy accounts with the beautiful rituals. You keep screenshotting the ingredients and saving the videos, but somehow never come around to doing them yourself.

There can be several reasons for that. You might not have the time, or you think you don’t have the necessary resources, or maybe you’ve been ignoring the Magick in you for so long that you are now doubting its presence. But don’t worry! Today, none of these reasons will bother you. It is my hope that, as soon as you finish reading this, you will feel inspired and free to add that little touch of Magick to your life. So, without further ado, I give you my favorite lazy witchy tips for a magickal everyday life:

1. Stir cinnamon and intentions into your morning coffee

We are starting off strong with my all-time favorite. I have been doing this for years now, so much so that it has become muscle memory. I even came up with a little song that I recite into my coffee while I stir my cinnamon. My family has heard it so many times that they start singing along as I prepare my morning brew.

How do you do it? Well, it’s quite simple really: after you have poured your freshly brewed coffee into your mug of choice, put in a dash of cinnamon and stir clockwise three times, thinking about calling in abundance and prosperity. You can also speak your goal for the day or a mantra into your coffee as you stir, such as “I am a magnet for opportunities” or whatever else you feel you might need for the day.

Now, if you feel like already crossing this mini ritual off your list because you don’t like cinnamon or don’t have access to it, please hold on a second and continue to read. There are other things you can add to your coffee. While cinnamon is known to attract prosperity, you can add your milk of choice and focus on calling in that nurturing abundance, or you can add a sweetener and focus on its ability to call in positive energy and take the bitterness out of situations. And if you like your coffee black, that is also perfectly okay. As you will realize throughout this post, the most important ingredient in all these mini rituals is your intention. Just pour that into your coffee, imagining a golden light coming from the tip of your fingers, through your spoon, and into your coffee as you stir clockwise.

2. Name your house and talk to it

Okay, maybe with this one we are going a bit into the realm of superstitions, but these are part of a whimsical life in my humble opinion (she’s into superstitions after all). If you believe that negative energy can be sent your way, you might also know that there are countless ways you can protect yourself, but naming is the easiest one.

You know, it is said that you can’t curse something whose name you don’t know. If someone were to send bad energy toward your house and it doesn’t have a name, its identifying factor is just the fact that it’s your house or its position. However, if it were to have a name that you gave it, that only you know, no one could touch it because you are the only person who has this identifying factor.

You can even build a relationship with your house by greeting it when you leave or when you come back, or by simply talking to it when you feel like it. It might seem woo woo, but believe me, you will feel the difference right away. As soon as you step foot in your place, you will feel it instantly cocooning you and taking care of you: a safe space you can always return to to relax, recharge, and let go of all your worries.

3. Color coordinate with your intention

This is a really fun and easy one. You can start your day by setting an intention or focusing on a certain goal you have for that day and then choose what color to wear accordingly. Below I will leave you a little guide you can look at whenever you need:

• YELLOW: For attracting abundance and joy. A pick-me-up color for whenever you feel down and need a little sunshine.
• ORANGE: For creativity.
• RED: Passion, sensuality, vitality, and courage. Perfect if you want to attract attention.
• PINK: Self-love or soft love.
• PURPLE: Intuition and psychic awareness.
• BLUE: Peace, protection, and healing.
• GREEN: Prosperity and growth.
• BLACK: Protection and warding off negative energies.
• WHITE: Purity. It represents a blank canvas, bringing in the new; it can be infused with whatever you need.

If your activities for the day require a uniform or a certain color, I’ve got you covered. The ways in which you can wear your color for the day can go as far as your imagination does. You can wear it as nail polish, makeup, hair accessories, jewelry, or even underwear or socks. And if you need something even simpler, just tie a string of yarn in your chosen color around your wrist or ankle and you’re good to go.

4. Enchant your beauty products

There are a number of ways you can do this. Again, the only limit is your imagination. However, there are two that hold a special place in my heart.

First is speaking intention into your products and focusing on it while you apply them. For example, take your mascara tube and whisper into it, “My eyes attract the eyes that I desire today,” and then focus on this affirmation as you apply it to your lashes.

The second one is drawing sigils with your products. This might sound intimidating if you have never drawn sigils or if you have seen the intricate designs others do on the internet, but believe me, people love to make things more complicated than they are. Not me, though! I am going to give you some options and you can choose whichever one you prefer.

The ritual itself is very simple: just take whatever product you’re using and draw the sigil on your skin, and then you can spread the product as you normally would. This can be anything from body lotions to foundation or even roll-on perfume.

How to draw sigils:

• Option 1: Keep it simple. Choose whatever symbol signals what you want to call in. For love, draw a heart. For attention, draw a star (just four lines crossing each other). For luck, try a four-leaf clover. The only thing that matters is to make it personal.

• Option 2: Write your affirmation or intention on a piece of paper. Take the first letter of every word and arrange them in a way that is pleasing to you.

• Option 3: Write down your affirmation. Cross out all the letters that repeat themselves and then assign each remaining letter a number according to the chart below. Arrange the numbers 1 to 9 in a circle, and starting with your first letter, connect the numbers to create your sigil.

5. Listen to subliminals

This one is pretty straightforward: listen to subliminals that match what you want to manifest. What are subliminals? They are soft whispers containing positive affirmations tucked beneath music or soothing sounds. You don’t hear them clearly, but your subconscious mind does. Over time, these affirmations will take root in your mind and shift your perspective and circumstances without your conscious mind arguing or getting in the way.

Since we are working with the subconscious mind, it is very important to find subliminals that we can trust. I get mine from YouTube, but there are a lot to choose from, so please use your discernment. Read the comments and make sure there are no negative affirmations. Two channels that I have been using for years and trust are Lisa Alexander and High Frequency Guru. Just let it play in your headphones while you walk, read, cook, or even when you sleep. The results will be nothing short of magickal.

6. Shower Cleansing

A lot of times when we come back home in the evening, we feel tired and drained. We usually blame it on working too hard, but there is another thing that might have happened: our energy got murky.

Think about it like this, we have “outside” clothes and “inside” clothes. As soon as we come home, we take off the dirty outside clothes and slip into cozy inside ones. We can do the same thing energetically. Throughout your day, your energy gets mixed with the energy of other people. You might absorb some of their denser energies, or your own positive energy might be fragmented.

I call back my energy from all people, things, and entities, throughout all timelines

When you shower at night, just imagine the water washing away any impurities and whisper to yourself: “I call back my energy from all people, things, and entities, throughout all timelines.” Feel how what does not belong to you goes down the drain and your energy returns to you.

7. Witchy Aid Kit

In my experience, everything I want to use magick for usually boils down to two categories: things I want to attract and things I want to repel.

If you want to repel something or someone, just freeze them. An ex bothering you? Freeze them! Anxiety standing in your way? Freeze it! Write what’s bothering you on a piece of paper, put it in a container, fill it with water, and dump it at the back of your freezer. It is very important that it stays frozen. If the issues come back, there is a possibility your freezer has thawed!

To attract something or someone, we use honey. This is more like sweetening the circumstances in your favor. Write the situation you want to sweeten on a piece of paper and pour some honey over it with intention. Leave it there for a night and then dispose of it.

If you want to take this a step further (like for an interview or a date), put a tiny drop of honey on your tongue before you leave the house and see what happens!

I must admit, I have gotten so excited about sharing all my favorite witchy tips with you that I haven’t even realized how long this post has gotten! I will end it here for now and I promise to be back with a part two very soon. May your life be filled with whimsy and magick!
