![]() ![]() Today, we would consider this a noble act of defiance. Lilith said, “ We are equal to each other inasmuch as we were both created from the earth.” Lilith didn’t want to be second to Adam she wanted to be his equal. However, she was unwilling to submit to Adam’s dominance and so she chose to leave the Garden of Eden. She is said to have been Adam’s initial partner, created from the same earth as him. Often described as the first woman before Eve, Lilith’s lore originates from ancient Jewish traditions. To understand her sigil, we have to first understand Lilith. Not every space needs to be cloaked, but if you’re feeling extra vulnerable it’s a good dose of extra protection! Cloaking pairs well with Gaze and Banish.Who Is Lilith? Lilith (1887) by John Collier. With cloaking, you obscure yourself or your space entirely, visualizing a cone of invisibility, or a cover of fog, or, yes, a cloak, so bad vibes and evil spirits can’t find you. With glamour magic, you might project the image of brighter eyes or an infectious smile. It’s sort of the dark sister of glamour magic, in that you’re creating a magical facade for others to perceive instead of what’s really there. It’s exactly what it sounds like cloaking is the psychic act of covering yourself and your space in protective energy. ![]() It’s all about the witch who makes it! Creating a dream altar before spritzing your sheets with Astral can send you to a magical dreamland. So an altar can be tiny, or very very big. There’s also a fifth element, Spirit, which you can represent with statues, pictures, and other trinkets, but Spirit is already present in YOU. We like to represent all the elements on an altar for maximum connectivity: a candle for fire, some sort of liquid or potion for water, a crystal for Earth, and incense or smoking herbs for air. It’s kind of like a battery in the circuit of your psychic power, where ritual tools like crystals and flowers can lend their specialties to your spell. Why have a tiny temple? Well, when you’re making expansive magic like manifesting or banishing, or focusing on an intricate task like dreamwork, it’s helpful to have a “container” for your intentions where they can build up instead of scattering to the winds. You’re the boss of your practice, so you’ve got endless options for crafting your own sigil! To add some oomph to your all-purpose cleaning, trace a sigil on your surfaces with Sanctuary.Īn altar is like a tiny temple dedicated to one intention. Being an artist isn’t important here, it’s about YOUR brain recognizing what your hands have made. If your goal is balance, maybe draw the symbol for the zodiac sign Libra or an outline of the scales of justice, or a Yin Yang. If this process doesn’t vibe with you, simply choose a symbol or shape that has meaning for you. Then cross out the vowels, and use the consonant letters to create an image that gives you good-goosebumps. To make a traditional symbol, write out a simple phrase like “I am balanced” or “we are safe”. In fact, in some belief systems a sigil is more powerful if you completely detach it from your memory after casting the spell. In the simplest of terms, a sigil is a symbol charged with your intentions, created to keep making magic even once your consciousness has left your spellwork. Therefore, the power of the endless knot is that once the evil begins to follow the line it will never come to an end, thereby trapping itself within the symbol.” We recommend washing your windows in a Daisy Wheel pattern when using Gaze: A Glass Cleaner for Protection. “One of the ideas behind the protective power of these endless knots is that demons, ‘the evil eye’, call it what you will, are attracted to lines and, if they come across one, will follow it to its end. Now see what our other inspirations were behind the creation of Counter Magick ( check out the website for full rituals written for each product).ĭaisy Wheels, or endless knot patterns, have been drawn on dwellings for centuries to keep bad spirits out. The name "Counter Magick" comes from the sympathetic magick practiced to keep curses, hexes, and evil spirits away. Each product is non-toxic, safe for all of your familiars (family, friends, pets and plants) and is made by a coven of witches in Salem, MA!īut beyond the practicality of Counter Magick, each room spray or surface cleanser is charged with crystal essences and intentional herbs, and they all embody different fundamental magickal practices. “ Counter magick” /ˈkaʊntəˌmadʒɪk/ Magick used to counteract or protect against negative energy (in other words, a witchy way to say “I’m rubber, you’re glue, whatever you say bounces off me and sticks to you”)Ĭounter Magick is the brainchild of Erica Feldmann and Janine Mulone, a line of ritual cleaning products created with sustainability, alchemy, and intention in mind.
