Basic Witchcraft Knowledge: Enhancing Your Magic with Cannabis
With witchcraft becoming more popular, many baby witches are searching for foundational knowledge to start their journey. This blog provides a quick and practical guide to help you incorporate basic witchcraft knowledge into your daily life. It’s designed to give you confidence in choosing what to use from your cupboard without second-guessing yourself.
However, remember that this is not a strict rulebook. The colours of candles, choice of crystals, and herbs are flexible. If something feels intuitively right for you, trust your instincts. The intention behind your practice is far more important than following a list. Use this as a guide, but don’t be afraid to adapt it to your personal craft.
Protection Magic
Protection spells are a cornerstone of witchcraft, often associated with the colour black. You might use black candles, black crystals, or black cloths to reinforce your protective energy. Crystals like obsidian, tourmaline, and smoky quartz are powerful allies, while clear quartz and selenite offer cleansing and amplification.
Common Herbs for Protection:
- Salt (any type for grounding and protection)
- Basil
- Bay Leaf
- Black Peppercorn
- Calendula
- Cinnamon
- Eucalyptus
- Lavender
- Mugwort (use cautiously – it can cause miscarriage if ingested)
- Witch Hazel
Self-Love Magic
Self-love is one of the most empowering forms of magic. Love is the most potent force, and by nurturing self-love, you strengthen your magical abilities. Pink is the colour of self-love, so you might work with pink candles and rose quartz, the ultimate self-love crystal. Other helpful crystals include amethyst, citrine, and clear quartz.
Common Herbs for Self-Love:
- Rose petals
- Chamomile
- Lavender
- Vanilla
- Hibiscus
- Cinnamon
- Orange Peel
- Raspberry Leaf
Abundance Magic
Living in abundance helps you thrive and invites growth into your life. Abundance spells often use the colour yellow. Citrine, pyrite, and green aventurine are fantastic for abundance magic. These crystals radiate prosperity and attract wealth.
Common Herbs for Abundance:
- Basil
- Dandelion
- Honeysuckle
- Rosemary
- Spearmint
Spiritual Enhancement
To enhance your spiritual practice, work with the colour purple. Crystals like amethyst, labradorite, and lapis lazuli are ideal for connecting to higher energies. These stones open your intuition and strengthen your spiritual growth.
Common Herbs for Spiritual Enhancement:
- Calendula
- Chamomile
- Rose
- Thyme
- Ginger
- Lavender
- Saffron
Cleansing Your Space
Cleansing is essential for clearing stagnant or negative energy. This can be achieved by burning herbs, creating sprays, or using essential oils.
Herbs for Cleansing (Burn or Spray):
- White Sage (ensure ethical sourcing)
- Palo Santo (use sustainably)
- Lavender
- Rosemary
- Juniper
If you’re uncomfortable using fire, make a cleansing spray with essential oils diluted in water for a smoke-free alternative.

There are many ways to amplify your magical practices. Incorporating tools like cannabis and hemp into your rituals can help deepen your connection to energy and intention.
