7 daily practices from real-life witches to attract good vibes only
It’s spellbinding My roommate was a modern witch. If you visualised her to be someone like Makdee, Manjulika, a shape-shifting serpentine or even Hermione, that makes two of us. I half-expected her to swoop across the room on a broom, and feared that leaving dirty dishes in the sink would turn me into a stone. Fortunately, 31-year-old Michelle Walden wasn’t a chudail cliché we see in movies. In fact, the modern witch was also a professor of robotics, who built tiny metal humans for a living. Her desk, however, was a mini apothecary: potions, tarot decks, oracle cards, stones, candles, crystals, sage leaves, and a cryptic chart to track lunar movements.
Since I spotted no pointed hats, caged children or even skulls at play, I grew curious. Until she cleared the air. “Witches are everywhere. You may be a witch too,” she said. “ We are just highly intuitive beings who have aced the art of manifesting.”
Sure, she followed Wicca, a modern pagan religion, and worshipped Mother Earth and Father Sky, but she insisted that we could tap into our intuition without forgoing our existing religious beliefs. “A modern witch realises and uses her intuition to heal herself and others,” she believed.
Before I moved out of that house, Walden predicted that I’d closely work with a team of women. Six months later, when I joined the all-women Tweak India team, I was p ositively shaken. After hearing the news, she laughed and said, “Told you I was a good witch.” Being enthusiastic about all things occult-adjacent, I started researching Wicca, even practising some spell-work and reading Tarot myself. My pursuit of knowledge landed me on The New York Times story, “When did everybody become a witch?” It reads, “Witches are your millennial co-workers doing tarot card readings on their lunch breaks, and professional colleagues encouraging you to join them for a New Moon ceremony aimed at “career success.”
I felt personally attacked. The wicked bottomline? Witches are widespread and harmless, and they can be anybody, except the scary daayans you thought they’d be. This year, ahead of Halloween, I tracked down some witches to ward off the evil energy, and further boost my intuitive powers.
- In a container, mix all the ingredients. Give it a nice shake.
- Every alternate evening, burn it in the house to protect from negative energy.

Rose and vanilla potion for skin rejuvenation
For their skincare routine, witches prefer vodka (the purest form of alcohol) to chemicals. Treat your pores and blemishes with this potion for your face, but consult your dermatologist first to make sure this won’t damage your skin.
250 ml vodka
6-7 drops of pure rose oil
6-7 drops of vanilla essence
A pinch of rosemary oil
- In a jar, mix all the ingredients.
- Tightly shut the jar and store in the dark for a week.
- Before bedtime, lightly apply a few drops to your face.
Bay leaf ritual to manifest success
A modern witch can burn and banish negativity with this hassle-free spell. Just remember to use the present tense when manifesting.
Ingredients:
1-2 bay leaves
10 gm camphor
A permanent marker
- Write your name, date of birth and zodiac sign on the bay leaf.
- Also write down your desire in the present tense. For instance, if you’re aiming for financial stability, write “I feel financially secure”, “I have a new job”, and so on.
- While writing the wish, strongly feel and believe that you’ve got what you wished for.
- Swish the leaf in the air thrice, so that the leaf connects with the element, letting it know about your desire.
- Burn the leaf in camphor. While burning, chant any mantra you believe in and visualise the better life.
- Gently blow the ash in the air as an act of gratitude.
Candle Magick to attract love and happiness
Candle Magick opens your heart chakra. It won’t bring back that toxic ex you can’t stop drunk dialling and you can’t make your gym trainer fall for you, but this spell will certainly attract more love from the right places, and instil a sense of harmony in heart.
10 gm cinnamon powder
5 ml rose essential oil
Light pink candle
Toothpick
- Inscribe your name and an upward-facing arrow on the candle with a toothpick.
- Inscribe your desire. For example: I’m ready to meet the right person or I want to settle down.
- Rub a few drops of rose essential oil on your fingers.
- Anoint the candle from the top to the middle, and then from bottom back to the middle. Anointing the candle solidifies your desire into the wax.
- Roll the candle in cinnamon powder to boost the power of the spell.
- Burn the whole candle on any Friday, which is the day governed by Venus (goddess of love), and watch it melt entirely. While it burns, visualise your intention and feel the desire intensely.
Freezing spell to calm the detractors
This is a chill pill for the frenemy who has a penchant for spreading rumours, or a colleague who can’t stop stealing your ideas. Freeze them and others in the tracks with this spell.
No, it doesn’t generate bad karma or harm anybody. The freezing spell for the modern witch is only meant to help prevent toxic people from contacting you or bothering you often anymore.
- Fill a zip-lock bag with 2/3rds water.
- On a piece of paper, write your intention. For instance: I hereby bind *name of the person* from spreading gossip about me. Or I hereby bind *name of your colleague* from belittling me at work meetings.
- Fold the paper multiple times and chant, “I hereby freeze *their name* and bind him or her from causing me harm”.
- While chanting, focus with all your energy and visualise the person receding from your life.
- Put the paper in the bag, seal it, and hide it in your freezer. Let the magic take over.
- When your wish comes true, thaw the bag, bury the paper in the soil. Pour the water over the spot, and say a prayer of gratitude .
Broom spell to energise your home
Whether you’re a modern witch or a non-believer, this will have a tangible outcome: your room will look cleaner. On a metaphysical level, this spell banishes the negative energy stuck in cluttered spaces.
- Light an incense stick, facing the door of the room.
- Using a broom, sweep away in the direction of the smoke, towards the door to force the hidden negativity away. If you don’t have a broom, you can also use feathers as a substitute for this ritual.

Reviews for "The Haunting Score of 'Watch the Witch: Second Installment"
- John - 2 out of 5 stars - I was really excited to see the second installment of "Watch the Witch" because I loved the first one. However, I was extremely disappointed with this sequel. The story was confusing and hard to follow, and the characters felt underdeveloped. The scares were also few and far between, and when they did happen, they felt forced and predictable. Overall, I found it to be a lackluster and uninspiring film that didn't live up to the hype.
- Sarah - 1 out of 5 stars - I honestly don't understand the positive reviews for "Watch the Witch: Second Installment". The movie was a complete mess from start to finish. The plot was convoluted and all over the place, and I couldn't connect with any of the characters. The scares were cheap and relied heavily on jump scares rather than building genuine suspense. It felt like a lazy cash grab that tarnished the reputation of the original film.
- Emily - 2 out of 5 stars - As a fan of the first "Watch the Witch", I was excited to see where the story would go in the second installment. Unfortunately, it fell flat for me. The pace was slow and dragged on, and the plot lacked coherence. The scares were predictable and didn't deliver the same level of terror as the first film. Overall, it was a disappointment and didn't live up to the standards set by its predecessor.
