I'm on time as always, yeah :)
But I found the old unfinished and decided to put it in the open access in a draft version)

Sobsno:

1. I did not give the witch a present for her Birthday, New Year, February 14, March 8, Our anniversary, Samhain, etc.
Dear donor. Each witch singles out a number of holidays that are very important for her. Some witches do not recognize February 14th or the Human New Year and so on. But if you did not give the witch a gift on a holiday recognized by her:
- You should realize that the consequences are unpredictable and try to behave with dignity.
- Decently withstand the entire witch's tirade, the army, hurricanes, etc. (depending on what you are lucky with) and do as she wants. And do so later. And sincerely believe that the only way is right. And suggest that it brings you joy. And be happy and don't repeat mistakes. You can't stand the second time.
2. I might have given a fig gift.
An evil, harmful, touchy, mercantile (emphasize what is needed) witch necessarily with hints or behavior, or will directly let you know that this is so (and in any witch there is one thing). However, if you asked, the gift is really fig. Correct as soon as possible.
3. I gave a fig gift.
Does the witch still communicate with you? A joke is a joke. If you gave a fig gift (such as an ugly rat figurine in the year of the bull), you were showing disrespect coupled with laziness and disdain. You are hardly close to a witch. Approximate fig gifts are not given. So ... you, of course, can try to improve ... but only with a certificate from a psychiatrist that you were out of your mind at the time of giving the fig gift.
4. I don't know if the witch will like my gift, what should I do?
If you do not like to take risks, ask her specifically, "You will like it if I give you .....". If you want to surprise, then you like to take risks. Better to have a plan B to get away with later (Either a second gift or a certificate).
5. What if I can't give the witch a gift for an important holiday?
Notify in advance. This is less upsetting (and even understanding or not upsetting at all) than unjustified expectations.
6. I learned the preferences of the witch (from her lips, LJ, wishlist, from friends, relatives, I guessed it myself, etc.), but most of the things she wants are either difficult to get or are very expensive for me. What should I do?
- Try to get it. Difficult does not mean impossible. As practice shows, some things that are difficult for you personally can get your friends without any problems. If you can't get it, choose the next lot.
- If the gift is too bad for you financially, you should not replace it with a cheaper copy. If the witch wants a specific thing - it is worth giving it. If you can't, but want to - give something that is tough (the list of variations is below) and after a while (having saved the required amount) give what you wanted ... for no reason - it is more pleasant :)
7. You wrote that witches are unpretentious, but it turns out that in addition to candles, books, music and other things, all other desirable gifts are worth a lot of money, are difficult to get, antiques, a hunchbacked horse or something worse.
- There are also candlesticks, self-made gifts (you don’t have to paint a picture yourself and give it if you don’t know how to draw), flowers, usually a well-known arsenal of nice trinkets, tickets to a concert, to a theater, an opera (depending on what the witch likes), tours to different countries (this is already more expensive, right? :)), accessories, even food (bring her a box of your favorite sweets, cakes, cookies, a basket (bag? :)) of your favorite fruits and other delicacies) ... The "cloud" of opportunities is great. Although the hunchbacked horse is certainly amazing - give it without hesitation :)

A list of possible gift variations (for the lazy and budget-conscious):
Candles (any sizes, shapes, colors and in any quantity - but be careful with colors - a candle of all colors of the rainbow is unlikely to please a gothic witch).
Delicious soaps, shower gels and other bath and sauna themes.
Vegetable and essential oils (but only proven quality brands - find out for yourself)))
Books, teas, coffee (well, we're not talking about soluble naturally), herbs, stones (semi-precious and precious, bricks can only be given if asked directly), decoration (from natural materials or to the style of your witch) ...

With this list, it would seem, I swept all the witches with one brush, but this is not so. Almost all women love flowers, and almost all witches love candles. Almost all people love to eat, and almost all witches love to read. Almost all people go out of necessity (don't ask who doesn't go :)), and almost all witches love to smell magically after a bath (Plumber witches don't care). Almost, almost, almost, but not all. Observe, analyze, ask.

Dear witches, in order to replenish a useful list of gifts, a survey in the comments:
What are you always ready to gladly accept as a gift? :)

A large list of gifts with a magical meaning that can be presented to both your witch friend and your beloved (much of the list is also suitable for men).

Singing bowl

This is a wonderful thing for meditation. Anyone who has held such a bowl in his hands and extracted sound from it will note a very big difference between “live” sound and audio recording.

When choosing a singing bowl, it will not be correct to focus on its appearance. The main thing in it is its sound. Therefore, before you buy a cup, listen to how she sings.

The melody of the singing bowl has a beneficial effect on our consciousness, filling the body with healing vibrations. To improve the effect, hold the cup in your hand.

You can buy such a miracle at an exhibition of stones, in an esoteric or souvenir shop, in an Indian store or through Yandex search in an online store.

Box for storing amulets, etc.

A great option is to present a wooden box blank so that it can be decorated to your liking.

You can buy a blank box in a large stationery store (for artists) or in the needlework department. It is also worth taking varnish for the final coating of the wood, and paints for wood (acrylic are suitable). In addition, you will need to purchase sandpaper from the utility department in order to make the workpiece perfectly smooth before painting.

The Goddess Oracle

You can, of course, give tarot cards, but they probably already exist.)) The Oracle of the Goddess is remarkable in that each of the cards of this deck can not only describe your condition, it also has rituals that need to be performed in order to improve your position and restore your integrity. (The rituals of the Goddesses are described here: Oracle of the Goddess).

You can order the Oracle of the Goddess in the online store of the relevant topic. However, if there is a store of magic paraphernalia in your city, you should first look there.

Altar cloth

Before choosing such a gift, you need to inquire about the size of the altar. For daily ritual practice, you can take a relatively dense linen fabric and make an edge processing. If desired, in the center of the tablecloth, you can apply paint on the fabric or embroider a sacred symbol: a pentagram, a tree of life, a symbol of the moon and sun, etc .; on four sides - graphic images of four elements or animals (Wind - eagle, Fire - lion, Earth - horse, Water - deer)... For the rituals of the Full Moon and other lunar dates, blue and white tablecloths are suitable.

You can buy fabric for the altar cloth at any sewing store.

Note: if the portable altar and altar cloth need to be folded after each ritual, keep in mind that it should not be stored like an ordinary towel. The tablecloth should be rolled up like a scroll.

Blanks for amulets

One of the most valuable gifts because it is not easy to make. You can, of course, order dies from woodcarvers, or you can go on your own to get it. For this, you will need to know the most used types of wood for amulets:

• Apple tree, dog rose, birch - attracting love and building relationships.
• Walnut, linden - connections, partnerships, money.
• Juniper - protection, from bad habits, health.
• Cherry - from scandals and quarrels in the family.
• Alder - to protect loved ones.
• Thuja, conifers - improving immunity, health.
• Viburnum, lilac, acacia - development of intuition, knowledge of the world around, a view from the side of magic.
• Willow - favorable conditions, a way out of closed situations.
• Oak, cedar, ash, blackthorn and hawthorn - universal trees, suitable for almost all types of amulets.

Within the framework of this article, it is not possible to list all trees and their magical properties, however, when choosing a tree species, it is worth knowing the following - all fruit trees are of a donor nature and can be used for amulets.

Note: You can cut a branch at any time of the year, but it is best in dry summer months. Be sure to thank the tree and bring him milk or sweet water (usually with honey) as a gift.

After you cut the branch, in no case should you cut it into dies. The branch should be placed in a dark place and stored there for 3 months until it is completely dry. Only then can it be cut into separate parts.

Candles for magic

Natural stones

Everyone knows about the magic of natural stones. Each stone has its own energy and magical properties. They have long been worn to give themselves the necessary qualities. (There are simple meditation practices that allow you to see what the stone bears to you personally. But more on that in the next article ...)

When choosing a stone, you can be guided by the list that can be read under the sign of a person's zodiac, or by its magical properties. However, it is best to choose the stone to which the hands reach.

Ritual attributes, etc.

This item includes different things: seals depicting sacred symbols, ritual knives (a dagger with a black handle or a knife with a white handle), patir (goblet), incense stand, incense itself (Mon - mint, Tue - cloves, Wed - eucalyptus, Thu - cedar, Fri - vanilla, Sat - tobacco, Sun - orange), curly or colored candlesticks (matching the colors of the Elements: yellow, green, blue and red); incense burner, mortar, decorative bottles and bubbles; figurines of God and Goddess.

Shells and other seafood

These are wonderful things that will bring the energy of the water element into the house. Collecting them from the sea or another body of water, leave something in return (a piece of bread, a coin) to the guardian spirit of the place.

Seafood can be used both to balance the Elements in different rooms (if necessary) and to create a special marine atmosphere in the bathroom.

Jewelry with magic symbols

These can be bracelets, earrings, pendants with a pentagram, trixel, magic knot, tree of life, and other symbols. In a word, you can create magic in jewelry, and they will become truly magical, warm and alive.

The music of wind

Gift to the spirits of the wind. Such a little thing with its vibrations will create a favorable atmosphere in the house, clearing it of negativity. The talisman "Music of the Wind" is different: from metal tubes; bamboo; from ribbons, feathers, bells, coins, etc.

Runes

You can also make a runic set yourself (not only wood is suitable for dies, but also dough, apricot pits from apricot once eaten personally, small natural stones of similar size and other natural materials). Of the existing runic systems, the most common is the Elder Futhark, therefore, according to this system, and most of all literature. This is very important, since making or acquiring runes is not as difficult as starting to predict on them.

Ouya board

The Ouija board contains an alphabetical row, numbers from 0 to 9, the words "Yes" and "No", a pointer (a small triangle with a hole in the center), the inscription "Goodbye" below. Such a gift will appeal to those with a penchant for necromancy. The Ouya board can be used at any time of the year, but it is especially good - on Samhain (October 31), when the Higher Forces themselves favor communication with the other world.

Cleaning gifts from spoilage

If you receive gifts, and even dear ones from people who should not give such gifts, it is better to play it safe and carry out a ritual of cleaning objects from damage. They do not necessarily carry negative energy. But what if this is so? What if a person wished you harm? Maybe not he himself, but at the instigation of someone from his acquaintances?

There are so many dangers and all sorts of risks in our life that we would additionally expose ourselves and our family to dangers.

For the choice of the method of cleaning from damage, it is of great importance what kind of item you were given.

In any case, try not to touch the suspicious thing with your hands before cleaning. Put on gloves made of rubber or latex, which then, after use, carefully remove, put in a plastic bag and burn on the street.

The gift wrapper must also be carefully removed and burned.

Do everything with extreme caution, do not cut yourself on the wrapping paper or sharp edges (you never know what there may be in the gift).

Cleaning a gift from water damage

This requires clean, spring water. If you believe in God, then you can take water consecrated in the church.

Of course, cleaning with water is only suitable if the object can be wetted, it is not afraid of moisture.

Put the whole object in the water, leave for 10 minutes, and then drain the water, uttering the words of the spoilage conspiracy:

The element of water, come to my aid,


Take all the dirt with you.
Let it be so.

After removing the water, dry the item and use it as you wish.

Cleaning from damage by fire

A similar procedure for removing damage from a gift can be done with fire, for items that are not afraid of heat and flame.

Light a white wax candle, let it burn for five minutes completely free. Then bring the object to the fire and drive around the flame clockwise, bringing it as close as possible.

Utter the spoilage conspiracy:

The element of fire, come to my aid,
From evil and filth, from corruption and evil eye,
Item name (for example, pendant, ring, earrings) clean,
Burn all the dirt and take it with you.
Let it be so.

After the procedure, wipe the item with a cloth or napkin, and then use it to your health.

A similar option, only using the elements of the earth. To remove spoilage from an object, take a pack of ordinary salt, pour a little into a deep bowl (select depending on the size of the object to be cleaned.

We put a gift on salt, and then pour it on top of it, uttering a conspiracy to remove damage:

Element of the earth, come to my aid,
From evil and filth, from corruption and evil eye,
Item name (for example, pendant, ring, earrings) clean,
Take all the dirt on yourself.
Let it be so.

I suggested the simplest ways, but effective. This is how our ancestors cleansed objects, and now witches do in their divination, especially when there is no time for complex rituals and ceremonies.

Of course, this does not always work, but in most cases it helps. It all depends on how serious the damage or the evil eye is.

You can familiarize yourself with the "Magic Gift" ritual by clicking on

The ability of witches to give “gifts with meaning” is known from many fairy tales, myths and legends. Just remember the "sleeping beauty", where the fairy godparents presented beauty, good luck, etc. newborn girl. Of course, to become like them, you still need to try, but you can start your journey in this field with this elementary ceremony.

1. Initial message
It is believed that the act of donation already in itself endows the item with special powers. And rituals of this kind are aimed only at strengthening the original message and directing it in the right direction. Thus, the witch not only fills the object with the energy she needs, but also protects the person from the “wrong” use of the gift. For example, a laptop donated in this way is more likely to be used by a student for study than for online games.

It should be noted separately that gifts can be made not only with good intentions. Typically such negative spells are known as "slips" or "pads".

2. Fantasy is our strength

Tabata Jennings is not very sophisticated with rhymes and spells, emphasizing a clear expression of intent. This gives you a lot of creativity. In particular, instead of “all your forces of good”, it is quite possible to turn to gods and patron spirits. So the gift will be filled not only with your energy.

In a spell, you can also mention a specific wish, instead of the general "health, love and happiness." For example, giving a wallet, you can say “From the bottom of my heart and with the blessing of God and the Goddess, I send you with this gift wealth, wealth and success, as well as wisdom to apply them in harmony with your life path”.

3. Visualize to get what you want

By charging an item with energy, you can further enhance and clarify your message. The "common" colors of the blessing are white, gold and silver. If you decide to give a “targeted gift,” then visualize a color that matches the purpose. For example, green is for money, pink is for love, blue is for healing.

If you want to charge the object not only with your energy, but also with external forces, then complicate the visualization a little. You should not only feel how the energy comes out of your hands, but also where it comes from. Those. to realize oneself as a conductor of this or that force.

4. Summon the right forces

Invocation to specific gods and spirits greatly enhances rituals of this kind.

5. Feel the happiness

It will not be superfluous to see on the inner screen how a person, holding your gift in his hands, reaches the desired goal. At the same time, he should look happy, contented and harmonious. This simple step is a very effective safety technique. It can be said that this is a visualized statement "May my magic not harm anyone."
