Taglocks

What is a taglock?:

An object or item that represents a person, group, or business. Essentially it's an item that's used to tie spell work, ritual or other magickal practice to a target. They're often used for positive and negative magick.

Why are taglocks used?:

Not all workings need a taglock. They're often used by practitioners who are doing their spell casting remotely, often for people who aren't present for their workings. They're often used for people who want remote spells done for them. For example you're doing a spell for a friend who lives in a different country, you'll often use a taglock to attach them to that working because they aren't present. This also applies to spell work and ritual who's aimed at a particular person that aren't present for that working because they can't be there or they don't want to be there. It can also be used for those who don't want to carry around those spell items, the spell will still influence them though they don't have the physical objects on them.

If you're doing a long term spell for yourself and you don't want to carry around those spell objects or item 24/7 then you'd want to add a taglock to attach the energy of that working onto you. This is often used in bags or jars that are quite bulky or difficult to carry around, but you want it to still continue to affect you though you aren't in it's energetic space. If you're doing a remote healing spell for someone who lives in a different country, and so if you're using a doll you'd want to add something into that doll that represents the person as a taglock so that working will manifest in their life.

What classes as a taglock?

They're an item that represents the intended target weather it's a person, group, business or company. They're an object that represents them so closely that you can use that as a replacement for their own presence for that working. In other words it's apart of them that is also separate from them. This can be anything from the mundane to the gruesome.

Types of taglocks:

There are two types of taglocks. For example the bodily objects that can be taken from someone, that's hair, nail clippings, saliva, urine or the very gruesome. The items are a representation of that person and are often given freely.

Other types are items used to represent a person that's not directly from them. That's full names, photos, signatures, and date of birth. You can also use items that belong to them. That's something of significance, pieces of clothing, or scraps of clothing, typically unwashed. You can also go for business cards, or logos that represent that company or business. The more personal you can get the more closely that working can attach to the person or the target. If you can use more then one taglock that's even better.

How to use a taglock:

Witch's bottles are one of the the oldest forms of taglock that's found in the UK or Europe, they are objects that are designed to act as protection for an individual or a home. They are seen as a scapegoat, they contain objects or items that represent you so closely that any spirits or spell work or negative energies that are aimed at you will instead be directed at the witch's bottle. They are an energetic duplicate of you. Traditionally what is used in a witch's bottle is urine, this goes back to hundreds of years, and are still often found today. You may also find hair, nail clippings, blood, saliva, red wine, vinegar, urine, pins or nails, and shards of glass. They're designed to attract the energy by using a taglock and then contain it and make it very rancid and horrible. Then once it's filled to compacity it will then break, which is a sign you need to make a new replacement. They are often used for a year.

Poppets or puppet are representational tool, it is designed to represent you or a target. It's very useful if you have a taglock of that person. It's either added inside the doll, such as hair, nail clippings, a photograph, signature, date of birth. The clothes of the poppet are often made out of the scrap of the persons clothes. Which is often unwashed and gifted to you. You can place items outside of the poppet as well. Often hair is added onto poppets of the actual person that it's aimed at. Some people will even stitch the photograph of the person on the outside of the poppet as well to represent that person. You can either put the taglocks on the outside or the inside of the poppet. Your personal choice. They're often kept for years and years. When not in use they are commonly wrapped in a black cloth and stored in a safe place, so they can be drawn out again if workings need to made again in the future. Often used in long distance workings.

Candle spells are a little different, you need to find something that isn't going to burn that isn't going to go rancid and is appropriate for that working. So you'll want to use a business card for example, by placing it under the plate or a candle holder. You can also use photos, full names, date of birth, or signatures. As always the more taglocks the better. It's worth playing around with them, but be sure to be safe about doing it.

Correct me if I’m wrong but… I think I found a way to not get tracked while using a smart phone. I’m no expert so take all this with a grain of salt. I’m just saying what I think would work.

I’ll talk about location tracking, then web activity tracking. And when I talk about location tracking, I mean getting a phone that does have gps as well as the second phone that doesn’t. Just incase you get into an emergency and need to be saved.

Also, this isn’t supposed to be advertisement, I’m not getting paid to advertise anything. Even if I sound like I’m trying to sell you something.

Ok so my phone’s location can be tracked by gps, cell phone towers and wifi, right? I’m pretty sure, cell phone towers can find your general location but gps and wifi give a more exact location.

So I get a Benco V80s phone — which doesn’t have gps or cameras — and just remove the battery when I’m not using the phone, and only use public wifis in parking lots without cameras, my location can’t be tracked? You must be thinking “You just said wifi can be used to tracked your location! Why would you use public wifi?”

Well, that’s because I like using the internet, and I need wifi to use internet. Public wifi is better than actual home wifi, you don’t want people knowing your home address after all. Plus, after you’re done, you can disconnect from the wifi and take the battery out. It can’t track you after that so why not go to a public restaurant somewhere far from your home or base of operations?

And now you must be thinking “well what about the cell towers?” They can’t track a phone that isn’t on. And you’re literally taking the battery out, so how is that going to stop you?

Well what about getting online activity tracked? Well if live in the uk, you must be familiar with this. Mass surveillance in the uk allows a lot of government agencies to tract your online activities, or at least that’s what this article says.

Comparitech

Mass Surveillance: What does the UK government know about you?

The UK is a member of Five Eyes and has a history of mass surveillance. Learn what the UK government knows about you and how you can protect

But to answer to that is tor for android. Considering the fact that Benco V80s is an android phone, we could download that. If you don’t know what tor is, it’s a project that wants to, as stated on the website “Advance human rights and freedoms by creating and deploying free and open source anonymity and privacy technologies, supporting their unrestricted availability and use, and furthering their scientific and popular understanding.”

Of course, tor isn’t perfect but it’s as private and secure as it can get. And use tor without standing out, read as much as possible form it’s website, look for advice from tor users.

Get a VPN while you’re at it. That’s going to help a lot, I’m not going to write much about it here though. We’ve all seen enough nordVPN ads to know what it’s all about.

Even with all that, don’t go around doing crime. Just don’t, it’s illegal and immoral. That includes “CP” (we all know what that’s supposed to stand for), it’s just wrong. Plus, any criminal things you do on tor will probably make you stand out from the activists, privacy lovers and other normal civilians who aren’t doing crime.

Criminals have been caught using tor before, it’s not perfect, it’s just harder to track. It has more layers of encryption than google and is honestly better than duckduckgo. Read the article bellow for more information on duckduckgo.

Medium

Is DuckDuckGo As Private As It Claims?

DuckDuckGo is a private search engine. It is adamant about spreading privacy around the internet. However, there is one issue we…

So that’s going to at least mostly stop the tracking, what else? Honestly, I don’t know. Just don’t use your personal information online, even when signing up for things. You don’t know if that company tracks or collects data from you after all.

not a dream

friendly reminder that I love you

Ok so weather magick is possible, so can we get a bunch of witches together, or have as many witches as possible preform some spells together to slow down global warming?

Not cast spells with the intention of “ending climate change” I mean like, spells for colder weather, cursing the top 1% every time they make a decision that hurts the environment, just being environmentally friendly, manifesting more environmental activists and people actively trying to reduce their carbon footprint, stuff like that.

It’s just a thought but if we can get enough people, it’d be possible right?

quick question:

do you guys prefer minimalist altars or over crowded ones?

i just saw a video on youtube from a witch who's altar was very minimal, tidy, expensive looking (they had around 3/4 of those statues of the Gods that cost like $80 each and also a huge deer skull), and overall aesthetically pleasing altar.

it made me kind of insecure about mine because i don't have the money for all those things, and also, my altar contains all the stuff i use the most, not only devotional / worship related things.

feel free to reblog this with pictures of your altars! i'd love to take a look ^^

EDIT: thank you so much to everyone that has reblogged this and gave advice to me! it really has made me feel better. also, your altars look so cool!!!!! i love them all.
