The Witch’s Ink

Every craft leaves a trace. The potter’s clay under fingernails, the calligrapher’s smudge, the roaster’s scent of smoke. For the witch, it is ink. A blend of earth and memory, used to write the language that binds idea to act.

🖋️ Step One: Gather the Essence

To make your own ink, start small. A teaspoon of soot or ash for what you have endured, a few drops of oil for what you wish to move smoothly, a trickle of wine or coffee for devotion. Stir until it feels alive in your hands.

🌑 Step Two: Choose the Vessel

Glass holds clarity, clay holds memory. Use what you have. The point is not the container but the purpose you breathe into it. Whispers of intent shape even the smallest jar.

🌿 Step Three: Write What Must Be Kept

Dip a quill or twig and write a word that anchors you, or one you need to understand. The ink will dry, but the meaning will not. Fold the page, and keep it near your workspace until it no longer feels heavy.

✨ The witch’s ink is not for the eyes. It is for the will, the hand, and the moment when thought becomes form.
