The Pocket Charm of the Stone-Bound Root

Image
Roots hold, stones endure. Bound together, they become a charm of weight and steadiness — a reminder of the ground beneath your feet, and of strength that does not waver. This charm is carried to anchor restless thoughts, to keep one from drifting too far, and to tie spirit back to soil. How to Make It: 1. Find a small, smooth stone. 2. Take a dried root, thin and twisted, and wrap it around the stone. 3. Bind root and stone together with black thread, knotting it tightly. 4. Carry it when you feel unmoored, or place it where stability is needed. How to Use: Grip the charm in your hand and whisper: “Hold.” The stone grounds, the root ties, and the spirit steadies. Notes: Renew by tightening the thread when it loosens. Retire by burying the charm in soil beneath a tree.

The Sigil of the Silent Bell

Image
Not every bell is meant to ring. This sigil stills the air, silences intrusions, and draws a curtain over words that should not be spoken or heard. It is a shield against noise, chatter, and distraction. How to Use It: 1. Draw the sigil on paper. 2. Place it over your workspace, under your pillow, or in a doorway. 3. Whisper once: “Hush.” 4. Leave it until the silence has settled. Notes: Strongest when drawn at midnight. Retire by tearing the sigil in four pieces and scattering them to the wind.

The Darkroot Séance: Rites of Spirits and Shadows

Image
The veil leans thin, and silence grows heavy. October is upon us. I’ve written many books of shadow, but this one walks closer to the cold breath of the dead than any before. The Darkroot Séance: Rites of Spirits and Shadows is a grimoire of ghost-work — not a collection of tales, but a manual of practice. Within its pages you will find: Rites for summoning and dismissing spirits. The language of omens — how to read knocks, flickers, whispers, and dreams. Experiments with smoke, dice, thread, and voice. Standalone workings such as the Candle of the Silent Room, the Key of Hollow Doors, and the Bone Candle. Methods for cleansing haunted homes, honoring ancestors, and shaping the phantom body. A full master rite — The Darkroot Séance itself. This is a book for those who do not wish only to believe, but to practice. For those who would light the candle, close the circle, and wait for the whisper. The séance is not a trick. It is not a parlor game. It is a door. And this book i...

The Pocket Charm of the Sealed Matchstick

Image
A flame burns, but when sealed, it waits. This charm is for those who carry fire in their chest — quick tempers, restless spirits, and sparks of inspiration that risk burning too fast. Bound in thread, the charred matchstick becomes a vessel: a way to contain fire without extinguishing it. How to Make It: 1. Burn a single match until its tip is blackened. 2. Let it cool completely. 3. Wrap the matchstick’s body with black thread, but leave the charred head visible. 4. Carry it when your temper, passion, or energy feels difficult to control. How to Use: Hold the sealed match in your palm and whisper: “Contained.” The fire waits, steady and unspent. Notes: Renew by rewrapping the thread when it frays. Retire by burning the matchstick completely in candle flame.

The Sigil of the Lantern Flame

Image
Light does not banish darkness — it shows the way through it. This sigil is drawn to guide, to offer clarity when choices cloud, and to light the path for those wandering without direction. How to Use It: 1. Draw the sigil on paper or wood. 2. Carry it when traveling into the unknown, or place it on your desk when decisions must be made. 3. Whisper once: “Guide.” 4. Let the sigil serve as a steady flame. Notes: Strongest when drawn at dusk. To retire, burn the sigil by candlelight and scatter the ashes.

The Wire Grimoire Has Arrived

Image
The hum in the walls is not silence. It is song. It is spirit. It is alive. I’m proud to announce the fourth volume in the Industrial Arcana series: The Wire Grimoire: Spells of Sparks, Currents, and Electrical Spirits. Where The Rust Grimoire dealt with decay, The Clockwork Grimoire with gears, and The Smog Codex with poisoned breath, this new work dives into sparks, coils, and haunted current. Inside you’ll find: Pocket Charms of Copper and Steel — small protections and blessings woven from wire and scrap. Circuit Curses — baneful workings that tangle, drain, and disrupt like shorted lines. Conduits of Blessing — rituals of protection, focus, and empowerment. Wire-Bound Divinations — reading static, coils, and flickering lights for hidden answers. Quick Spells & Jolt Charms — sudden workings sparked in moments of need. The Rite of the Current Serpent — a full invocation of the primal spirit in the grid. Crackling Rites of Power — lightning communion, radio seances, sh...

The Pocket Charm of the Rusted Link

Image
Iron bends but does not forget. This charm holds fast, binding loyalty, endurance, and unbroken bonds. The rust speaks of time endured, and the thread seals that strength to the bearer. How to Make It: 1. Find a small rusted chain link or metal ring. 2. Wrap a portion of it with black thread and knot it firmly. 3. Carry it when you need endurance, or leave it where bonds feel strained. How to Use: Grip the charm and whisper: “Hold.” The rusted link steadies what would weaken. Notes: Renew by rewrapping the thread when it frays. Retire by burying the link in soil.

The Sigil of the Turning Key

Image
Every lock waits for its key. This sigil is drawn to open the way — to reveal hidden opportunities, to turn closed doors, and to unseal what lies behind barriers. How to Use It: 1. Draw the sigil on paper. 2. Speak aloud the barrier you wish to overcome. 3. Fold the sigil once, as if turning the key. 4. Whisper: “Open.” Notes: Best when drawn before beginnings — new ventures, hard tasks, or fresh paths. Burn or bury the sigil when its work is done.

The Rainwater Testament Has Arrived

Image
Rain is more than weather. It is blessing and curse, silence and thunder, flood and renewal. Every drop carries the weight of the sky, and every storm writes its own spell across the earth. I’m excited to share the release of my newest book, The Rainwater Testament: A Grimoire of Storms and Showers. This grimoire dives into the many forms of rain — from the first hesitant drops to the roar of tempests, from puddle-scrying to flood omens, from rainbow blessings to the hush after storms. Inside you’ll find: Charms crafted from gutter nails, puddle stones, and rainbow-touched tokens. Daily spells whispered into drizzle, shouted into thunder, or carried by mist. Rites of cleansing, renewal, and baneful stormcraft. Three great standalone rituals: The Calling of the Deluge, The Covenant of Clear Skies, and The Nocturne of Falling Stars. Appendices on collecting rainwater, tools of storm-working, and rain’s place in folklore. This is not a book of metaphor — it is a book of practi...

The Pocket Charm of the Coal-Kept Ember

Image
Every fire leaves embers behind. This charm holds that ember, hidden in coal, to remind you that even when flames fade, strength remains. It is carried for resilience, willpower, and the endurance to keep going when the world grows cold. How to Make It: 1. Find a lump of charcoal or a dark stone. 2. Wrap it once with red thread, knotting it tightly. 3. Carry it with you whenever your strength feels dim. How to Use: When despair presses, grip the charm and whisper: “Burn.” The ember within will keep its glow, lending its heat to you. Notes: Renew by retying the thread after it frays. Retire by casting it into fire, letting ember return to flame.

The Sigil of the Sleeping Iron

Image
Iron doesn’t dream, and neither will you when this sigil keeps watch. It stills the restless mind, quiets the wandering spirit, and turns back what prowls at night. How to Use It: 1. Draw the sigil on paper or a stone. 2. Place it beneath your pillow or beside your bed. 3. Whisper once: “Rest.” 4. Leave it there until your nights feel quiet again. Notes: Works especially well when drawn in charcoal or graphite. Burn the sigil in the morning light to release its hold.

The Vermin Gospel Has Been Written

Image
There are books you study, and there are books you survive. The Vermin Gospel belongs to the latter. This grimoire does not flatter the reader with beauty or easy symbols. It crawls. It gnaws. It whispers from beneath the floorboards and behind the walls. Here you will not find angels in white robes but rats as saints of hunger, cockroaches as prophets of resilience, maggots as choirs of decay, and termites as architects of collapse. The book is built as infestation: twenty full chapters with over 160 detailed spells, charms, and rites — each practical, each meant to be carried out. Add to that four extended multi-day systems: a three-night vigil, a seven-day nest consecration, a thirteen-day cycle of rot and renewal, and a nine-night psalm to the swarm. The Vermin Gospel closes with a benediction, then opens again into appendices: a catalogue of charms, correspondences of vermin, dream omens, and psalms of the swarm. It is scripture, it is field manual, it is nest. If you ...

The Pocket Charm of the Wax-Sealed Thread

Image
A promise kept is a promise bound. This charm ties words and holds them, sealing them in wax so they do not fray or wander. It is used to preserve loyalty, protect oaths, and remind the bearer of what must remain unbroken. How to Make It: 1. Take a length of black thread and coil it into a small bundle. 2. Knot it firmly. 3. Melt a drop of red wax and drip it over the knot to seal. 4. Keep the charm close whenever you must trust in words or promises. How to Use: Hold the charm when speaking an oath or hearing one. Whisper once: “Kept.” The thread binds, the wax seals, and the words remain strong. Notes: Renew by adding a fresh layer of wax each season. Retire by burning the charm in flame when the oath no longer matters.

The Sigil of the Veiled Gate

Image
Some doors are not meant to open, and some secrets are not meant to be seen. This sigil is drawn to cover, to obscure, to keep hidden what must not be uncovered. It is not a lock, but a veil. How to Use It: 1. Draw the sigil on paper. 2. Place it over what you wish to conceal — a letter, a journal, a thought. 3. Whisper once: “Veil.” 4. Leave it in place until the danger of exposure passes. Notes: Best for privacy and secrecy rather than permanent barriers. To release, tear the paper across the vertical line and burn the halves.

The Smog Grimoire: Spells of Soot, Smoke, and Choking Air — Now Released

Image
The third volume of The Industrial Arcana has arrived. Following The Rust Grimoire and The Clockwork Grimoire, this work turns to soot, smoke, and smog — the breath of industry and the residue of fire. This book is not about purity. It is about burden, residue, and transformation. Every cough is a chant, every smear of soot a sigil, every exhalation a spell. Inside, you’ll find: Pocket Charms, Daily Spells, and Curses crafted from soot and smoke. Extended Rites and Systems, including The Great Suffocation and The Ceremony of the Ashen Veil. Chapters on smog elementals, poisoned weather, silent factories, and the breath of machines. A full back matter appendix with a soot lexicon, seasonal rites, and a practitioner’s toolkit. The Smog Grimoire teaches that even pollution is sacred, even ash carries power, and even the lungs of the city can become altars. Ash settles on all things — and now, so will your magic. Available now in paperback and Kindle

The Pocket Charm of the Ash-Bound Stone

Image
Some burdens cling too tightly. This charm is meant to hold them in place, to weigh them down in stone so they do not weigh you down instead. How to Make It: 1. Find a smooth stone small enough to carry. 2. Rub it with ash or charcoal until it bears the mark of shadow. 3. Wrap the stone with black thread once or twice, then knot it tight. 4. Keep it with you when sorrow presses close. How to Use: When your mind feels heavy, grip the charm in your hand and whisper: “Hold.” The stone will carry what you cannot. Notes: Renew by adding fresh ash at each new moon. Retire by casting the stone into running water.

The Sigil of the Shattered Mirror

Image
Not every reflection is true. This sigil is drawn to break the surface, scatter lies, and reveal the truth that waits beneath. How to Use It: 1. Draw the sigil on paper or glass. 2. Speak the falsehood you wish to shatter. 3. Tear the paper (or smear the drawing) across the jagged line. 4. Whisper once: “Break.” Notes: Strongest when placed near a mirror, window, or reflective surface. Can also be carried to guard against deception and illusion.

The Cephalopod Codex Has Surfaced

Image
From the black waters of the abyss comes a new grimoire — The Cephalopod Codex: A Grimoire of Ink and Tentacles. This book is the squid’s scripture. Within its pages are spells of concealment, charms of grasp, rites of endurance, and omens drawn from ink and water. It is a manual of practical abyssal magic: pocket charms for daily use, medium-length workings for the dedicated, and extended rites for when you must descend fully into the deep. The squid teaches us how to vanish when hunted, how to reach with many arms, how to endure crushing pressure, and how to change shape when survival demands it. Its ink is both veil and weapon; its triple hearts and blue blood are symbols of resilience. In this codex you will find: Ink and shadow magic for concealment and erasure. Tentacle rites of binding, holding, and protection. Camouflage workings for blending and veiling. Abyssal dream practices and omens. Threshold rites for crossing gates of change. Like the squid itself, the magi...

The Pocket Charm of the Bound Key

Image
Keys open doors, but this one closes them. Bound in thread, it becomes a seal rather than an opening. The charm is made to guard secrets, protect possessions, and keep what should not be touched from being reached. How to Make It: 1. Find an old key, the heavier and more worn the better. 2. Place a scrap of paper marked with a cross, X, or dot against its shaft. 3. Wrap the key with black thread, knotting it tight. 4. Keep it in your pocket or hide it near what you wish protected. How to Use: When you fear intrusion, hold the key in your hand and whisper: “Closed.” The charm seals what should remain sealed. Notes: Renew the binding at the new moon. Retire the charm by burying it at the base of a locked gate.

The Sigil of the Watchtower Flame

Image
A flame does more than burn — it reveals, it warns, it keeps watch in the dark. This sigil is drawn to guard thresholds, to give warning of what approaches, and to keep the unseen from creeping closer. How to Use It: 1. Draw the sigil on paper, wood, or stone. 2. Place it near a doorway, window, or threshold. 3. Whisper once: “Watch.” 4. Leave it in place until the need for vigilance has passed. Notes: Strongest when paired with a burning candle. To release, tear the sigil in half and scatter the pieces in fire or ash.

The Freshwater Testament: A Grimoire of Rivers and Wells

Image
The rivers remember. The wells whisper. The lakes mirror more than the sky. With The Freshwater Testament, I have turned the cycle of grimoires inland — away from salt and blackwater, toward the rivers that carve valleys, the springs that rise from stone, and the wells that open like throats into the underworld. This book is filled not with symbols alone, but with practical rites: Pocket charms made from reeds, stones, moss, and dew. Rituals of safe crossing, purification, and release. Extended workings to call upon floods, waterfalls, and river guardians. Pilgrimage and vigil practices to unite the practitioner with living waters. The Testaments have always been about covenant — between practitioner and element, body and land. This third volume gathers the voices of inland waters and places them in your hands. It is a book meant to be practiced at the bank, the spring, the cistern, and the hidden pool. Freshwater is renewal, but also peril. It heals and drowns in the same ...

The Pocket Charm of the Sealed Nail

Image
Iron bites deep. Sealed in cloth and bound with thread, the nail becomes more than a tool — it becomes a ward. This charm grounds ill will, turns curses aside, and nails malice in place. How to Make It: 1. Take an iron nail — older is stronger. 2. Wrap it tightly in a small piece of dark cloth. 3. Bind the cloth shut with red thread. 4. Carry it on your person, or leave it where harm might approach. How to Use: When danger feels near, press the charm in your palm and whisper: “Hold.” The sealed nail grounds what would strike and keeps it from breaking through. Notes: Renew by tying fresh thread when the old grows loose. Retire by hammering the nail into earth or wood far from home.

The Sigil of the Hidden Path

Image
Not all roads are marked. Some turnings hide themselves until you look twice, or until a sign reveals them. This sigil is drawn to uncover the path that lies unseen — the door you didn’t know was there, the fork you never noticed. How to Use It: 1. Draw the sigil on paper. 2. Hold it when you feel lost or cornered. 3. Whisper once: “Reveal.” 4. Fold the sigil and keep it in your pocket until the choice or opportunity shows itself. Notes: Works well for decision-making, travel, and problem-solving. Best drawn at a crossroads or doorway for greater effect.

The Rust Grimoire Has Arrived

Image
Iron crumbles. Copper veils itself in green. Chains weaken, beams collapse, shipwrecks rot into the sea. Rust is everywhere, and now it has its own grimoire. The Rust Grimoire: Spells of Oxidation and Decay is my newest book — a working spellbook packed with practical witchcraft pulled from corrosion, patina, and entropy itself. Inside you’ll find: Charms made from rusted nails, bolts, and chains Rustwater scrying, vinegar spells, and patina healing Curses that bloom slowly, like rust itself Travel talismans born from shipwrecks and anchors Blood-rust oaths, forge-fire workings, and the Vigil of Rust — a seven-night rite of communion with decay This is not theory. This is not a museum. This is a book to be carried into junkyards, shorelines, graveyards, and factories. Let the pages stain, let rustwater drip across the words. The grimoire is meant to be alive in your hands, as alive as rust on metal. If you’ve ever felt the hum of abandoned places, the power in broken tools,...

The Pocket Charm of the Bound Feather

Image
The mind is a restless bird. It flutters, it circles, it will not land. This charm binds the wing, stills the flight, and lets thought rest at last. How to Make It: 1. Find a small dark feather. 2. Write a single dot or X on a scrap of paper. 3. Lay the paper against the feather’s shaft. 4. Wrap the shaft three times with black thread, knotting it tight. How to Use: Carry it when your mind runs wild, or keep it near where you sleep. When the thoughts come too fast, hold the feather in your palm and whisper: “Rest.” Notes: Renew by retying the thread at the new moon. Retire by releasing the feather into running water.

The Sigil of the Waning Flame

Image
Flames consume. Not every fire should be fed — some must fade. This sigil was drawn to quiet the blaze, to slow the frenzy of burning things. It is the mark of cooling embers. How to Use It: 1. Draw the sigil on paper. 2. Place it beneath a candle, letting the wax drip across its lines. 3. Whisper once: “Fade.” 4. Extinguish the candle, sealing the flame’s waning. Notes: Useful for cooling anger, obsession, or destructive patterns. Burn the sigil after use to scatter the last ash.

Entering the Blackwater: My New Grimoire of Swamps and Marshes

Image
The swamp is not dead. For years I’ve walked the edges of bog and marsh, listening to the silence, watching the way moss holds to stone, seeing lanterns of fireflies rise from blackwater. From these wanderings came my newest grimoire: The Blackwater Testament: A Grimoire of Mires and Marshes. This book is not fantasy — it is built from the swamp itself. Inside are pocket charms woven from cattails, moss, and bone; spells that call upon mist, lantern-light, and drowned voices; and extended rites that last hours, nights, or even days. The swamp becomes not only setting, but temple and teacher. You will find: Cattail pouches of guarding Moss bundles for dream-slowing The Bog Body Binding for preservation The Lantern Path Rite to guide what is lost Storm rites, serpent skins, and drowned dead vigils And at its heart, a stand-alone rite of Sinking and Return — a multi-day working where you give yourself to the swamp and rise again remade. The Blackwater Testament is both mystica...

The Pocket Charm of the Thorn-Wrapped Pouch

Image
Every step into the world invites danger. This charm carries a warning in its heart: turn back. Salt to purify, ash to darken, and a thorn to bite the hand that reaches too far. How to Make It: 1. Take a scrap of cloth and place inside a pinch of salt or ash. 2. Fold the cloth into a small pouch. 3. Tie it tightly shut with thread or twine. 4. Push a thorn or sharp twig through the knot, binding it in place. How to Use: Carry it in your pocket when traveling or when you feel hostility near. If someone directs malice at you, squeeze the charm in your hand and whisper: “Bite.” Notes: Renew by adding fresh salt or ash each month. Retire by burying the pouch at the base of a thorn bush.

The Sigil of the Broken Chain

Image
Every binding wears thin. This sigil carries the crack of iron giving way, the sudden release when links no longer hold. It is a mark of freedom, of ending restraint. How to Use It: 1. Draw the sigil on paper. 2. Speak aloud what you wish to be freed from — a fear, a habit, a tie. 3. Tear the paper in half, splitting the sigil. 4. Burn or bury the halves to scatter what was once bound. Notes: Works well for banishing, unbinding, or releasing old oaths. Best drawn in charcoal or ash for added resonance.

The Hive Scripture: A Grimoire of Bees, Honey, and Stings

Image
The hive is not gentle. It is sweetness and sting, honey and venom, labor and sacrifice. It is a temple of wings, a library of combs, a chorus of hum. My new book, The Hive Scripture, is a grimoire devoted to this current. Inside you’ll find spells, charms, curses, and rites built from honey, beeswax, stings, and buzzing litanies. These are not idle metaphors—they are workable practices you can carry into your daily craft. Some of what you’ll find inside: Waxen seals for binding, protecting, and preserving. Honey psalms to sweeten words, draw favor, and heal. Stings and needles to curse, defend, and mark boundaries. Swarm rites to gather collective power and momentum. Royal chamber workings to crown sovereignty and command. Memory combs for preserving dreams and lessons. Buzzing litanies to turn sound into presence and power. Venom and mead rituals for transformation and vision. The book also includes appendices on hive symbolism, tools, and floral honeys, as well as four S...

The Pocket Charm of the Thread-Bound Coin

Image
Coins pass through too many hands, and with them go pieces of fortune. This charm knots your luck to you and stills the flow of loss. How to Make It: 1. Choose a coin — older is better, tarnished is stronger. 2. Wrap it with red or black thread, binding its power. 3. Knot it tight, sealing the charm. 4. Carry it with you, or hide it where you keep your money. How to Use: When you spend, touch the coin first and whisper: “Stay.” The charm holds your fortune close, resisting waste and loss. Notes: Renew the thread each season. Retire the coin by tossing it into moving water when its work is done.

The Sigil of the Silent Mouth

Image
Not every word should wander. This sigil closes lips, binds gossip, and seals secrets where they belong. How to Use It: 1. Draw the sigil on paper. 2. Speak the name of the person or the secret you wish kept silent. 3. Fold the paper once, mouth-to-mouth, and keep it beneath a stone or weight. 4. To release the silence, burn the paper to ash. Notes: Works well for stopping rumor or stilling dangerous talk. Whisper the word “Hush” while drawing the central X for greater effect.

The Lantern Codex: A Grimoire of Fire, Light, and Smoke

Image
The newest volume in the Evander Darkroot grimoires has arrived: The Lantern Codex. This is not a book of fantasy spells. It is a book of practice. Every rite in this codex uses lanterns, candles, smoke, and ash — tools anyone can reach for, twisted into strange forms of working. The book is structured as a cycle: Kindling – beginnings, sparks, and ignition. Flame – illumination, revelation, and the language of fire. Smoke – concealment, release, and haze as messenger. Ash – closures, seals, and the final body of fire. The Hollow Lantern – silence, absence, and the strength of void. Inside you’ll find dozens of short spells, five long-form ritual systems, seasonal and lunar adaptations, practical craft notes, meditations, and field accounts. If you’ve ever worked with candle magic but wanted more depth, more practicality, and more strangeness, this book will serve you well. Strike the match. Watch the flame. Trace the smoke. Gather the ash. Sit with the hollow lantern. The ...

The Pocket Charm of the Iron Nail

Image
Iron has always been the enemy of the unseen. It grounds wandering spirits, turns aside curses, and bites the hand of malice when clenched tight. This charm binds that power into something you can carry. How to Make It: 1. Find an iron nail — the older, the better. 2. Write a simple protective mark (an X, cross, or sigil) on a scrap of paper. 3. Place the paper against the nail and bind it with black or red thread, wrapping three times. 4. Knot it tightly, sealing the charm. How to Use: Carry it in your pocket when you feel the weight of ill intent. When unease stirs, squeeze the nail in your hand and whisper: “Bite back.” Notes: Renew by rewrapping the thread at the turning of the seasons. Retire the charm by burying it at a crossroads.

The Sigil of the Sealed Threshold

Image
Not every door is meant to open. This sigil is a mark of denial, of closing, of setting the unseen bolt across the frame. Drawn upon thresholds, it seals what is yours against what is not. How to Use It: 1. Draw the sigil on paper and place it near an entryway, window, or mirror. 2. Whisper once: “Barred.” 3. Leave it in place until the threat has passed. 4. Burn or bury the sigil to release its charge. Notes: Works as well for psychic barriers as for physical ones. Renewal is strongest when traced in ash or charcoal.

The Fungal Codex: A Grimoire of Spores and Rot

Image
Beneath the soil, threads stretch unseen. From rot, fruit rises. From shadow, spores drift into the air. My newest book, The Fungal Codex, is a grimoire of mushrooms, lichens, and decay. It follows the fungal cycle through eight archetypes: Hyphae, Mycelium, Fruiting Bodies, Caps, Rot, Lichens, Poison, and Psychedelia. Each chapter contains practical spells, charms, and rites — from bindings and baneful works to wards, glamours, and dream-travel. Every working closes with a Spore Print Sigil, simple circular marks inspired by the prints mushrooms leave on paper. These sigils act as seals, patterns of drift and spread. You can copy them by hand, draw them in ash, or trace them in soil. This book is written to be usable. The materials are simple: bread, thread, market mushrooms, scraps of paper. The power lies not in rare herbs but in symbol, patience, and transformation. If you’ve followed my previous works — The Saltwater Testament, The Clockwork Grimoire, Goldroot, Lantern...

The Pocket Charm of the Watchful Eye

Image
Eyes never close in the dark. This charm sees where you cannot, and keeps you aware of what waits beyond the corner of your vision. How to Make It: 1. Find a flat stone or piece of wood small enough to carry. 2. Draw or carve a crude eye upon its surface. 3. Wrap the stone in black thread, leaving the eye visible. 4. Carry it in your pocket, or leave it near a doorway to guard your threshold. How to Use: When unease stirs, hold the charm in your hand and whisper: “I see.” Keep it with you until the danger or doubt has passed. Notes: The charm grows heavier with time — a sign it has taken much onto itself. Return it to soil or fire when it feels burdened. Renewal is as simple as carving or painting a fresh eye upon another stone.

The Sigil of Rising Smoke

Image
When fire consumes, smoke rises. Smoke carries prayers, curses, and whispers to places you cannot follow. This sigil was drawn to bind that motion — to let your words take shape and rise into the unseen. How to Use It: 1. Draw the sigil on paper or bark. 2. Write beneath it what you wish carried away — a thought, a secret, a desire. 3. Burn the paper safely in flame. 4. As the smoke rises, speak aloud: “Carry.” Notes: Works well for releasing grief, sealing curses, or sending wishes upward. For stronger effect, repeat with incense smoke instead of flame.

The Saltwater Testament: A Grimoire of Tides and Brine

Image
The sea keeps her own. That is the first lesson within The Saltwater Testament, the newest grimoire written under my name. This is no sailor’s yarn or fanciful tale — it is a book of salt, storm, rust, and rope. A book meant to be used. The Testament is divided into the four phases of tide: Low Tide – the time of revelation. Driftwood, tidepools, and the debris the sea leaves behind are worked into charms and shrines. High Tide – the sea’s power at its height. Storms, squalls, Leviathan’s shadow, and the song of Sirens are all summoned into spell and curse. Ebb – the sending away. Salt wards, banishments, rust, barnacle, and ghost lights that lead astray. Flow – the calling tide. Bottles, nets, song, and treasure drawn from the wrecks of the drowned. Scattered throughout are Captain’s Curses, logbook entries written as hexes, steeped in salt-soaked spite. Each chapter carries not only short charms, but also centerpiece rituals meant to anchor the work — rites you can perfor...

The Charm of the Bound Tongue

Image
Some words are daggers. This charm stills them. It binds wagging tongues and closes lips that would do you harm. How to Make It: 1. Take a small scrap of dark cloth. 2. Place within it a knotted thread, twisted once for every name you wish silenced. 3. Add a sliver of bone, wood, or stone to serve as the “tongue.” 4. Fold the cloth and wrap it tight with twine, sealing the bundle. How to Use: Carry it in your pocket when you feel the sting of gossip or the weight of dangerous words. When you need silence, press the charm once in your palm and whisper: “Still.” Notes: Renew by re-knotting the thread each new moon. If you wish to unbind, burn the cloth at crossroads and scatter the ashes.

The Sigil of the Hidden Key

Image
Not every door has a lock, and not every lock has a key. But there are moments when you need a sign, a shift, an unseen latch to click open. This sigil was made for those times. How to Use It: 1. Draw the sigil on a small piece of paper, wood, or stone. 2. Keep it with you when you’re seeking opportunity, clarity, or a way forward. 3. When faced with a choice or an obstacle, trace the sigil lightly with your finger and breathe once. Whisper: “Unlock.” 4. Fold the sigil and store it in a pocket or pouch. Notes: Works best when carried into situations of uncertainty — interviews, crossroads, negotiations, or decisions. Burn the paper when the path reveals itself.

The Clockwork Grimoire: Spells of Gears, Pendulums, and the Machinery of Time

Image
Every machine hides a secret. Behind the face of the clock lies a world of springs and wheels, each part turning another, each movement inevitable. The Clockwork Grimoire is born from that hidden world: a book of witchcraft written in gears, pendulums, and bells. This is not symbolic poetry. It is a true grimoire—practical spellwork woven from the language of time and mechanism. Each chapter explores a piece of the clock: the gear, the spring, the pendulum, the bell, the broken clock, and even the Eternal Mechanism itself. From each comes working spells: six quick charms for immediate practice, and one extended rite to anchor the chapter in power. Inside you’ll find: Spells of binding, banishment, and silence. Rites of balance, inevitability, and delayed release. Curses born of rust and shattered hours. Blessings tied to shadow, chime, and the great wheel of fate. Over one hundred workings in total, carefully laid out for practical use. The structure of this book is mechani...

The Pocket Charm of Still Waters

Some carry stones for luck, some for protection. This charm is meant for calm — to hold a quiet stream in your pocket when the world becomes too loud. How to Make It: 1. Find a smooth stone, preferably one taken from a riverbank or pond edge. 2. With chalk, charcoal, or pencil, mark a simple wave-line across its surface. 3. Wrap it in dark thread and knot it tight. 4. Carry it in your pocket or pouch. To Use: When you feel unrest, press the stone between your fingers and breathe slowly, three times. The current steadies. Notes: Re-mark the wave-line when it fades. If the stone grows heavy in spirit, return it to the water it came from and begin again.

The Sigil of the River’s Memory

Every current remembers. Stones rolled smooth, footsteps waded, offerings cast from shore — the river holds them all. This sigil was drawn to capture that same power: the memory of flowing water. How to Use the Sigil 1. Draw or print the mark on paper, parchment, or even bark. 2. Place it beside a bowl of water. 3. Speak aloud the name of what you wish remembered — a promise, a dream, a face. 4. Leave the bowl overnight beneath the open sky. 5. At dawn, pour the water into the earth, returning the memory to the hidden current below. The river does not forget. Neither will this. Notes If repeated, the memory deepens — layering like silt in a streambed. Do not attempt to erase the sigil hastily. Smear it, and the memory will fragment. Burn it cleanly when its work is done.
