How to Practice Secretive Magick
The Dark Moon is a potent time for transformation and release. It’s also the ideal moon phase for practicing secretive magick – spells and rituals intentionally kept hidden for your protection. Whether you’re shielding yourself from unwanted energies or working in the shadows to bring justice, secretive magick allows you to act with discretion and power. This includes return-to-sender spells, protection magick, banishing and hexing, curses, and crossroads magick.
Return to Sender Spells
Return-to-sender and reversing magick are two powerful types of protection spells that work best when paired together. These spells are not about causing harm but about deflecting negative energy and ill intentions back to their source.
- Mirror Spells – Reflect negative energy or malice back to its sender.
- Candle Reversing Spells – Use double-action candles to break hexes and redirect negativity.
- Herbal Bath Cleansings – Utilize herbs like rue, hyssop, and bay leaves to cleanse and shield your energy field.
When you cast a return-to-sender or reversing magick spell, consider incorporating road-opening magick too. It will help open the way and remove barriers to your success.
Protection Magick
A solid foundation of protection magick ensures that you remain safe while practicing more advanced forms of secretive magick.
- Warding Spells – Set energetic and physical boundaries using sigils, salt lines, and protective amulets. Keep these secret so others can’t break them. So, as much as you might want to share them on Instagram, resist the urge!
- Home Protection – Enchant your doors and windows with iron nails, black salt, or protective symbols. A door or floor wash also goes a long way for promoting only good energy in your home.
- Digital Protection – Use sigils for online safety, password magick, and protective tech talismans. Hide sigils in your social media posts or your website if you own one.
- Invisibility Magick – Cloak your energy to move unnoticed in mundane and magickal spaces.
Curses, Hexes, and Banishing Spells
When justified, curses, hexes, and banishing spells can be powerful tools for protection and justice. Since YOU are the magick, you get to decide what “justified” means!
- Freezer Spells – Bind and silence toxic individuals by placing their name in a jar of water and freezing it. (Leave room at the top of the jar for the ice to expand, or use a Ziploc bag instead!)
- Putting Bitches in Jars – Contain harmful people or situations in a spell jar filled with banishing herbs and intent. Bury it in your yard or toss it in your garbage to be collected by waste management.
- Create War Water – A traditional tool for offensive and defensive magick, used to mark territory or send warnings. Create your war water during the Dark Moon for extra power.
Dark Night Magick
The energy of the Dark Moon is also perfect for internal and liminal magick.
- Astral Projection – Use the veil’s thinness to travel beyond the physical realm.
- Dream Work – Enhance lucid dreaming, shadow work, and prophetic visions during the Dark Moon. Be sure to document your dreams for later interpretation.
- Silent Spellcasting – Cast spells through focused thought, visualization, and energetic manipulation without spoken words or tools. Spellcasting in silence can ensure no negative people or entities get ahold of the words to use them against you.
Practicing secretive magick requires a blend of intuition, wisdom, and ethical awareness. When working with these techniques, always ensure your intentions align with your personal ethics and spiritual beliefs. The Dark Moon offers the perfect cloak for those who wish to weave their magick in the shadows, unseen and unstoppable.
Stay Magickal,
