The Tools of the Craft - The Bell

In this video, we explore the magical and spiritual significance of the bell—a sacred tool used in modern paganism, Wicca, and witchcraft. Often associated with the element of Air and the Divine Feminine, the bell is more than just a sound-maker; it is a powerful instrument for cleansing energy, invoking spirits, and marking ritual transitions.

Join me as we discuss the bell’s history in both mythology and magical practice, how it’s used to banish negative energy, signal the start and end of rituals, and even call in the elements and deities. Whether it’s a small altar bell or a ceremonial chime, the bell is an often-overlooked yet essential part of the witch’s toolkit.

Perfect for beginner witches and seasoned practitioners alike, this video is part of the Tools of the Craft series designed to deepen your connection with your ritual tools and magical practice.

5 Simple Daily Rituals to Stay Spiritually Grounded

Modern witchcraft isn’t just about casting spells under the full moon or celebrating sabbats on the Wheel of the Year—it’s also about weaving magic into your daily life. Staying spiritually grounded helps us navigate the chaos of the world with clarity, peace, and power. You don’t need hours of meditation or a perfectly curated altar to do it. All it takes is a few small, intentional moments each day.

Here are five simple, beginner-friendly daily rituals to help you stay connected to your spiritual self—no matter how busy life gets.


1. 🌿 Morning Centering With Breath and Intention

Before you check your phone or get swept into the rush of the day, take one minute—just sixty seconds—to ground yourself. Close your eyes, place your feet flat on the floor, and take three deep, slow breaths. As you breathe, say a simple affirmation or intention out loud or in your mind. It can be as straightforward as:

“I am rooted, I am present, I am ready.”

This small act centers your energy, grounds your awareness, and turns your morning into a magical moment.


2. 🔥 Candle Magic While You Work

Light a candle while you do something routine—like working at your desk, tidying your space, or even washing dishes. Choose a color that reflects your intention for the day: white for peace, green for growth, yellow for focus, etc. As the flame flickers, let it be a quiet companion and a reminder of your magical practice.

No elaborate ritual needed—just intention, flame, and mindfulness.


3. 🧂 Salt & Water Cleansing at the End of the Day

At the end of the day, negative energy can cling to us without us even noticing. One of the easiest ways to release it is with a simple cleansing ritual using salt and water. You can do this in the shower, bath, or even just at the sink:

  • Mix a pinch of sea salt with water in your hands or a small bowl.
  • As you wash your hands, face, or body, visualize any stress, tension, or energetic clutter washing away.
  • Say:

    “I release what no longer serves me. I am cleansed, I am free.”

This quick practice helps you energetically reset before sleep.


4. 🌙 Gratitude & Grounding Before Bed

Before drifting off to sleep, take a moment to reflect on your day. Think of three things you’re grateful for—big or small. This act of gratitude isn’t just good for your mental health; it’s also a grounding ritual that realigns your energy with abundance and peace.

If you journal, jot them down. If not, just speak them softly into the dark. End with a gentle affirmation:

“I rest in gratitude. I am safe. I am whole.”


5. 🌸 Carry a Charm or Crystal

Choose a small object to carry with you throughout the day—a crystal, a charm, a leaf, or even a written sigil. Charge it in the morning with your intention (protection, focus, calm, etc.), and keep it in your pocket, purse, or bra.

Each time you touch it or feel its weight, pause and reconnect with the intention you set. It becomes a quiet tether to your spiritual path in the middle of ordinary life.


🌕 Final Thoughts

You don’t need grand gestures or elaborate altars to live a magical life. These daily rituals are simple, powerful ways to stay grounded, present, and connected to your spiritual self. Choose one, or try them all, and see how your energy begins to shift.

Are You Practicing Witchcraft... or Just Collecting Crystals?

Let’s be honest—most of us have at least one drawer, shelf, or entire altar overflowing with shiny rocks. Amethyst, rose quartz, obsidian, moonstone—we collect them like dragon hoards, and honestly? No shame. Crystals are gorgeous, powerful, and incredibly fun to work with.

But here’s a little magical reality check: owning crystals doesn’t make you a witch. Using them does.

This post is your gentle nudge to go beyond the collection phase and actually work your magic.


Intent Over Aesthetic

Witchcraft is about intention. If you picked that chunk of citrine because it helps with confidence and you’re carrying it in your pocket during job interviews? That’s spellwork.

If it’s just sitting there “looking witchy” on your nightstand and collecting dust under a dried rose? That’s décor.

The tools of the craft are just that—tools. Your power is in how you use them.


What Crystals Are Really For

Let’s revisit why we use crystals in the first place:

  • Amethyst: Calms the mind, aids in intuition, and helps with restful sleep
  • Rose Quartz: Promotes self-love, forgiveness, and heart-healing
  • Obsidian: Grounds you, protects against negativity
  • Citrine: Boosts creativity, energy, and manifestation

Notice a pattern? These aren’t decorations—they’re magical batteries. But they don’t work unless you activate them.


5 Simple Ways to Actually Use Your Crystals

If you’re not sure how to move from collector to practitioner, try one of these today:

  1. Sleep Magic
    Slip amethyst under your pillow with a whispered intention for peace or dream clarity.

  2. Pocket Spell
    Choose a crystal for the energy you need. Carry it with a written affirmation.

  3. Cleansing Ritual
    Use selenite or clear quartz to cleanse your altar tools or tarot deck.

  4. Candle Magic
    Place corresponding crystals around a spell candle to amplify your focus.

  5. Moonlight Charging
    Set your crystals out under the full moon and revisit your intentions the next morning.


Dust Off the Magic

You don’t need an elaborate ritual or perfect timing. You just need to do something with them. Start small. Speak your intention aloud. Hold your stone during meditation. Make it yours.

Because you didn’t come to this path just to build a crystal-themed Pinterest board.
You came here to live magically.


So Tell Me…

What’s your most-used crystal—and what do you use it for?
