Witchcraft and Horses

Witchcraft and Horses

I am quite certain I am not the only witch out there who rides/owns horses. With that being said, always take great precaution around horses. Never use anything that hasn’t been naturally shed (IE: hair, whiskers, ect) and always keep in mind specific equine allergens and dietary restrictions.
🐴  Horses love treats, that surely is no secret. Whether they are carrots, apples, or homemade cookies you can use a variety of sigils. Carve them into the treat, and imagine your intent as they eat them!
🐴 Horse shoes. Horse shoes are notoriously lucky! They can serve as very a very potent ingredient in luck, protection, wealth, health and banishment spells (and most likely more!)
🐴  Horse hair! Besides serving as a nice way to homemake jewelry and charms. Horses have lots of meanings and representations depending on your beliefs, their hair can certainly serve as a wonderful addition to spells, offerings to deities who have strong ties with them, and always allow you to carry them with you.
🐴  Hoof shavings. Surely we’ve all seen the grey dust which occurs after our farriers are done trimming and shawing our horses. This can be easily swept up and used in a variety of spells where you wish to add some extra kick. This is also a wonderful ingredient for curses and hexes, nothing like a good ol’ swift kick for added intent.
🐴  Fly spray! I often use a wipe or spray fly spray to draw protection sigils on my horse before they go out to turn out. Also sigils to help them use their brain and hopefully not come back with injuries.
🐴  Use a sharpie to draw sigils for protection on their shoes!
🐴 For crafty/artsy witches, don’t be afraid to sew in some sigils to saddle pads, polo wraps, draw sigils on boots. SIGIL EVERYTHING!
🐴 Horses are incredibly intuitive beings, they know what we are feeling and certainly what we are thinking sometimes. If a possibility meditating in their presence can aid in calming and grounding.
