Enchanting Beauty: Witchy Tips, Rituals, and Spells for a Magical Glow

Channel Great Aunt Calpurnia with these beauty spells and rituals to help your inner Goddess, shine.

We’ve all heard of Great Aunt Calpurnia, who according to our Goth Mother Morticia Addams, 

“she danced naked in the town square and enslaved a minister”

and wish to emulate her terrifying power. So I have brought together some of my favourite simple beauty rituals to help us embody this queen. 

Beauty rituals can be much more than skincare routines and makeup applications—they can be powerful acts of self-care and magic. By incorporating witchcraft into your beauty regimen, you can enhance your natural radiance and infuse your daily practices with intention and spiritual energy. Here are some witchy beauty tips, rituals, and spells to help you glow from the inside out.

1. Moon Water Facial Toner

I love working with moonwater and make sure to wash my face with moon water the first morning after I make a batch to really set my intentions. Moon water, charged under the moonlight, is also a magical tool for cleansing and refreshing your skin. Here’s how to make, use and store it:

How to Make Moon Water:

  1. Fill a glass jar (Ideally with a lid if putting outside over night) with clean, filtered or tap water.
  2. Place the jar under the light of the full moon overnight to charge it with lunar energy. This can be in your bedroom, on a self by a window etc if you don’t have access to outdoor space.
  3. In the morning, seal the jar and store it in a cool, dark place.

How to Use:

  • Use moon water as a facial toner by applying it with a cotton pad after cleansing your face. Visualise the lunar energy infusing your skin with clarity and radiance…..Or just splash it on there, like I do! 

How to Store Moon water:

To use through to the next moonphase, freeze your moonwater into icecubes so you have easy access to a daily dose until you can make your next batch.

2. Herbal Beauty Steam

I am forever congested and in Summer when hayfever strikes, it can be very unpleasant so I’ve been rather fond of Herbal steams. Snazzy, eh? Herbal steams open pores, cleanse impurities, and infuse your skin with the benefits of natural herbs. They also provide a moment of relaxation and meditation as well as helping you sound less like a railway station tannoy. Multipurpose.

Ingredients:

  • Dried herbs like chamomile, lavender, rosemary, or rose petals.
  • A large bowl of hot water. (Be careful not to put boiling water into anything that will crack like glass, learn from my mistakes, coven!

How to Perform:

  1. Add a handful of dried herbs to the hot water.
  2. Cover your head with a towel and lean over the bowl, allowing the steam to envelop your face.
  3. Breathe deeply, relax, and visualise the herbal energy purifying and revitalising your skin.

I like to add music which matches the energy I am trying to tap into as well but you can do this in silence and just really lean into the relaxation part….just don’t fall asleep.

3. Beauty Spell for Glowing Skin

We are all bloody beautiful inside and out and I refuse to hear anyone say otherwise, no, really. Ssssh with that self hate, I see you, pretty thing ❤ This simple spell harnesses the power of natural ingredients and positive affirmations to enhance your skin’s glow. So you feel all lovely inside and out, like you deserve! 

Ingredients:

  • Honey (for hydration and healing).
  • Milk or yogurt (for exfoliation and softness).
  • A small bowl.

How to Perform:

  1. Mix a tablespoon of honey with a tablespoon of milk or yogurt in a small bowl.
  2. Stir clockwise (to bring in good intentions) while repeating a positive affirmation like:

“As I nourish my skin, my inner and outer beauty shine brightly.”

or

“I am the baddest bitch in these streets, so even my skin, like my life tastes honey sweet”

    ….say whatever just have fun with it. Make it yours, ok? The magick always works better that way ; ) 

    3. Apply the mixture to your face and leave it on for 15-20 minutes.

    4. Rinse with warm water, feeling the spell’s energy infusing your skin with radiance.

      You can add other ingredients to your mask with more ideas here:

      4. Crystal-Infused Beauty Oils

      We seriously don’t need another excuse to get a crystal out and start getting the vibrations up. So, since we’ve all brought so many of the bloody things and we can’t just keep telling people that they are just for decoration, you’ll be happy to know that that you can now tell people that crystals are powerful tools in witchcraft, and their energies can be infused into beauty oils for added magic. See, I got you. This is a coven. I’m never going to tell you that you have enough crystals. Ever. If anything, get more. Support local businesses.

      Ingredients:

      • Carrier oil (such as jojoba or almond oil).
      • Crystals like rose quartz (for love and beauty), amethyst (for calm and healing), or clear quartz (for amplification).
      • A small glass bottle or jar.

      How to Make:

      1. Place a cleansed crystal into the glass bottle or jar.
      2. Fill the bottle with the carrier oil.
      3. Let the oil infuse with the crystal’s energy for at least 24 hours.

      How to Use:

      • Use the crystal-infused oil as a moisturiser or massage oil, visualising its energy enhancing your beauty and well-being.

      Don’t worry I’ll post a full focus piece on crystals and beauty magic soon!

      5. Glamour Bath Ritual

      If you’re anything like me, then everything you do demands a pinch of glamour and so washing one’s self is no different. A glamour bath is a luxurious way to enhance your natural allure and boost your confidence.

      Ingredients:

      • Sea salt (for cleansing).
      • Rose petals (for love and beauty).
      • Lavender (for relaxation).
      • A few drops of essential oils like rose or jasmine.
      • A candle.

      How to Perform:

      1. Run a warm bath and add the sea salt, rose petals, lavender, and essential oils.
      2. Light a candle and place it near the bath.
      3. Enter the bath and soak, visualizing any negative energy washing away and being replaced by a radiant glow.
      4. Focus on a glamour affirmation such as:

      “I am radiant, beautiful, and confident in my skin.”

      or 

      “I know no other way but to slay’

      6. Makeup Magic

      For many of us the act of putting on makeup is a sacred ritual in itself – life is a performance after all, girlhood is a concept and witchcraft is fun…so why not transform your makeup routine into a magical ritual with these simple practices?

      • Intentional Application: As you apply each product, focus on your intention. For example, as you apply foundation, visualise it as a protective shield that enhances your natural beauty. I love using this Korean Missha brand BB Cream with SPF40 as I am all about the sunscreen.
      • Symbolic Shapes: Draw small, discreet symbols or sigils with your makeup (e.g., a small pentacle with eyeliner) to imbue your look with magical energy.
      • Bless Your Products: Hold each makeup product in your hands and say a blessing, charging it with your desired intention (e.g., “May this lipstick bring me confidence and charm”). If you are able to, place them in a moonlit spot to charge and cleanse them. 
      • Cleanse your products: Burning incense over your items will help cleanse them and remove toxic energies. I don’t know about you but I know where I’ve ended up some nights so it’s good to regulary do this.  

      7. Hair Enchantment

      Some ancient cultures believed a womans hair to be able to enslave men and was a source for evil. So in celebration of our ancestors here are some ways that you can use your hair to be a conduit for magical energy:

      • Herbal Rinses: Create herbal rinses with rosemary (for growth), chamomile (for shine), or sage (for protection). After washing your hair, pour the rinse over your hair as a final step, visualizing its magical properties infusing your strands.
      • Crystal Combs: Use a comb with crystal handles or embed small crystals in the handle of your brush. As you brush your hair, visualise the crystal’s energy enhancing your hair’s strength and beauty. Also great to help cleanse any toxic energy from your precious strands.
      • Braiding Spells: As you braid your hair, focus on weaving in your intentions. For example, a simple three-strand braid can represent body, mind, and spirit harmony. You can even do a top twists version of this which I like to do when I really want my hair of the way.
      • Enchanting Oils: Use oils such as coconut or almond oil inflused with ingrediants and intentions. Our South Asian girlies have also bestrowed upon use the knowledge of Rosemary oil, which has been trending all over tiktok but you can make your own at home as well. We are forever grateful. THANK YOU. When I’m time senstive this is my go to for hair oil: Natures Choice Rosemary oil

      8. DIY Beauty Charms

      Create beauty charms to carry with you or keep in your beauty area to enhance your magical energy. I like to enchant a mirror compact and it’s contents to carry it around with me. I’m also prone to carrying little witch bags or even mini witch bottles with specific intents attached to them (I’ll make a post about these soon) 

      Ingredients:

      • A small pouch.
      • Crystals (like rose quartz or amethyst).
      • Herbs (like lavender or rose petals).
      • A written intention or affirmation.

      How to Make:

      1. Fill the pouch with the crystals, herbs, and written intention.
      2. Hold the pouch in your hands and charge it with your desired energy, visualising your intention being amplified.

      How to Use:

      • Keep the charm in your purse, pocket, or near your beauty products to continually boost your magical energy. If it’s a witch bottle, you can take it out now and then to give it a lil shake to futher activate it (or get your rage out, either/or)

      9. Morning and Night Rituals

      Incorporate magical rituals into your morning and night routines to set the tone for your day and ensure a restful night. As an ADHD witch, keeping a sleep routine has been key to improving my mental health, getting into a regular routine (and thus not fucking my life up as much, which reduces stress, huzzah!) and ‘discovering mornings’ has really helped me navigate life. I now wake up around 6/6.30am each morning to get a ritual, journaling or art in to help supercharge my day. I also do the same at night, but do my meditations as I go to sleep, as it helps me drop off and keep the speeding thoughts at bay (Big Shout out to my ‘brain never shuts up ever‘ people in the audience, I see you and we’ve got this…kinda!). 

      Morning Ritual:

      1. Start with a few deep breaths and a positive affirmation. Again these could be beautiul and well thought out affirmations or they can also be funny and energy lifting such as looking into the mirror and going:

      Oh my gwad, look at that fine example of an ass. And, wait, what, I own this ass? I grew this myself? I manifested this magnifciant superior, posterior, you say?! Well, lets see what else amazing I will manifest today”

      2. Cleanse your face with moon water or a herbal cleanser. Also, slather on SPF50. Trust your fabulous Witch Aunt on this one, you’ll thank me when you’re older.

      3.Apply crystal-infused oil or your favorite moisturizer with intention, visualizing your desired outcome for the day.

      Night Ritual:

      1. Cleanse your face and remove any makeup, visualising the day’s stress washing away.
      2. Apply a soothing lotion or serum, infused with lavender oil for relaxation.
      3. Spend a few moments in meditation, focusing on gratitude and self-love.

      Now remember darlings, use these beauty tips to help you feel even more love for yourself and remember, when you start to feel a bit low in the old self esteem remember, what would Great Aunt Calpurnia say to you? 

      Exactly. Stop crying over rat people who don’t deserve you and go enslave some ministers. Eat the rich, I dunno, go create chaos. I believe in you

      By incorporating these witchy beauty tips, rituals, and spells into your routine, you can enhance not only your physical appearance and malevolent allure but also your spiritual well-being. Embrace the magic within and let your inner and outer beauty shine brightly my pretties, mwahaha!

      Witches At Work: Interview With Olivia aka Ostara

      This weeks #WitchesAtWork interview is the Olivia, the owner of Ostara.

      We are super excited to speak to one of our favourite social media and #WitchesAtWork to follow, The Fabulous Oliva AKA Ostara. Soooo many questions and we highly recommend you spend a few moments deep diving into her fantastic tiktok viral (and national media coverage earning) introduction to whimsigothic videos and, saving the best for last…the beautiful products on the newly launched Ostara Shoppe site. Ahhh so fabulous! Anyway, let’s jump in….

      First, tell us about yourself!

      My name’s Olivia, and I own Ostara, which stocks magickal wares for your hearth and home. I’m a Taurus Sun, Capricorn Moon and Virgo Rising, so an earthy homeware shop is perfect for me! I believe your home should be a solace, a special space in place and time where once you step over the threshold, you can be at peace. Creating a safe, comforting environment is an art, and I want to help my customers achieve this through carefully selected heirloom pieces.

      And now what you do and your career journey up until now

      I’m from the North, and moved all around the country from the age of 21 working in Film and TV. I then settled in London, where I continued to art direct and design sets for high end shows, films, and commercials. During the pandemic, my husband and I decided to pursue a slower life by the sea, and moved to Kent to renovate an old Edwardian house. I then decided this was the perfect time and place to leave the film industry and follow my dreams to open Ostara! Seeing so much waste and consumption in the film industry left a bitter taste in my mouth. I wanted to slowly, carefully, handpick items for my shop, choosing heirlooms for peoples homes that have a deeper meaning and symbology to each piece.

      Items From the ostarashoppe.com

      What is witchcraft to you?

      Witchcraft to me is simply stepping into your power as a human being. Trying to see and feel the beauty and miracle of nature, trying to live a deeply embodied life. Connecting with ancestors is very important to me, and understanding where you came from, and the environment around your ancestors – what shaped your blood line. Learning folklore, mythology and traditional stories can help you have a deeper understanding of human nature and I love learning from them.

      I also deeply believe in being of service to whatever greater good you believe in. I’m a triple earth sign – so I passionately care about Mother Nature! My shop Ostara is part of that – I don’t want to contribute to the fast fashion, over consuming nature of interior decor trends. I want to save items from landfill, from going to scrap, and to breathe new life into them, so they can live a new life in someone’s home. Filling your life with knowledge and reverence doesn’t have to stay contained within your practice – it can be displayed in your home too.

      How do you use witchcraft in your day to day life?

      I suppose it has to do with my idea of being of service again. I am a total gardening geek, and I garden as an act of service to Danu, Gaia, Mother Nature. I plant food to honour my ancestors, and learn herb lore to keep the knowledge alive. I use tarot, the Wild Wood deck, and am constantly trying to learn as much as I can about astrology – there’s just so much to learn!

      Image From Instagram: @ostara_shoppe

      And professional life?

      I only do ‘spells’ very very occasionally, and it’s usually a more direct, ritualistic way of connecting with my ancestors to receive wisdom and advice. These very occasional rituals are usually asking advice to do with my career, as this is the only area of major life choices where I struggle with decisions in my life! When it came to leaving the film industry (which was incredibly stressful and damaging to my health) I believe I was being shown signs to leave for a long time. When I directly asked, I got the answer I was waiting for – it just didn’t come in the way I was thinking! But I was still very grateful for the nudge in the right direction.

      How have you used witchcraft to support in shaping your career?

      When leaving Film, I had an idea of what I might like to move into, but just didn’t feel the confidence. Leaving a career of 10 years is hard! I knew what I loved doing, I knew I had a passion for interiors, but I didn’t know how to tie it all together. Using tarot was brilliant in shaping my decision to open a store.

      Image feed of Instagram: @ostara_shoppe



      Does your work know about your practice?

      I think now they do! I want my store to be different in that it offers homeware or furniture that come with a deeper meaning behind each piece – whether that’s the traditional symbolism behind the wood that’s used to make the piece, or another bit of folklore attached to it. That’s why I spend so much of my time researching not only antiques and vintage homewares but mythology and folklore. I want my customers to know that they’re buying from not only a reputable source of ethically gathered antiques, but a genuine lover of magick and folklore.


      How do colleagues/clients respond?

      I’ve been overwhelmed with the response from my customers – I’ve had orders from all over  the UK, Europe and America! I hope that people enjoy the unique blend of quality vintage and magickal flare to each piece that I source.

      There are a few exciting bits and pieces brewing for the future – one of which is establishing a bricks and mortar shop for Ostara to dwell in. I can’t wait to be able to let people see, touch and hold their items before they buy. And who doesn’t love a good witchy shop?

      Everyday Witchcraft – Tea Magick Supplies: Rose Tea Sets.

      Due to popular demand, here is where Bunnypudding gets her teaware from…

      Well hello there Coven, I’ve been pretty active over on my Tiktok and Instagram recently making lots of fabulous everyday witchcraft and lifestyle content and well, I hate to say this but the breakout star of my labour isn’t me. Oh no, it’s my bloody Rose Enamel Glass Tea Pot that I treated myself to as a moving in present. 

      Here she is in all of her glory. I call her Roseline after my grandmother and well, it has a bloody rose on it and some days I am more creative than others. 

      I’ve been asked about where I get my supplies and homewares on my videos and DMs so here is the list of kitchenware items used in my April Social Videos below. Some of the items are from different stores so if you are looking for a specific colour click the link below the picture 🙂 

      Of course, I will also be sharing recipes and how to’s for my tea blends in another post so watch this space (or check out my social media!)

      Tea Pots and Tea Pots Sets: 

      You can get my stunning rose tea pot in either red (Picture above) or blue. I am not going to lie, I want them all. It’s an issue, it really is. 

      One thing I need to stress though is that the tea pot is pretty small, so great for those who want to make one or two cups for tea or herbal spellwork but not so good if you are want to pour for several people at the same time. Great excuse to get two, otherwise, pay heed!

      This is a rare set to get cheap, thus why I haven’t had it yet as these weren’t on offer when I was getting mine. I am truly gutted about this fact but it is also why I have two links below as I am sure they will be gone pretty quick.
