Another way to dispose of some spell remnants (ashes, liquids, etc.) that one could want to use flowing water for……is the toilet. Flush! And you know that it will be cleansed before being added back to the water supply!

I’m very hesitant to flush anything only because waste is discarded that way, and I don’t want the universe to think I’m throwing away the spell like poop is. Just my theory.

Something important to remember is that some products are labelled as "compostable/biodegradable" but they need extreme heat or processing to break them down, so make sure you're being v careful with any plastic alternative type things because they could still be harmful to wildlife 💖

One important point when disposing of something in a river,/creek/brook/etc.: make sure you dispose of it DOWNSTREAM of your home, otherwise the running water will carry what you're "disposing" right back to where you live.

OH MY VARIOUS GODS, FINALLY someone talks about this! Thank you sooo, so, so much, Olivia! 🙏 This is something literally no witchcraft book that I've read so far was talking about, same with witchy content creators I follow. I was always wondering how to dispose of spell ingredients, but even more: offerings! I always wondered if there is a respectful vs disrespectful way to do this, especially when it comes to offerings (for example food offerings that just get bad after a few days max) and when you live in the city and don't have the opportunity to give natural ingredients or offerings back to nature / have your own compost and stuff like that. Is it disrespectful to just throw it in the trash? I really needed this video, so thanks again. (Okay, I needed to get this out first, now I'll watch it and see if any more questions pop up. 😄)

That must depend on the gods. Ganesha hates his offerings thrown in the trash. But yet again they're mostly candy and peanuts, so I can accumulate it in an airtight container and burry it in the summer. (I would not just leave it outside though, I neighbor dog can get poisoned. BURRY. Alcohol can be used to light offerings on fire and burn them, but I never tried that. The same way, wine offerings I always throw in the sink - but not the toilet, I've had divine complains last time I tried that.

this video was so informative. i live in an apartment in a city so i can’t really bury anything. like my only option would be public parks which seems a bit, ya know, shitty for a multiple reasons. as “boring” as it may be, sometimes you just gotta yeet those ingredients in the dumpster so you don’t harm anyone

I've always just tossed mine in the trash. Living in an urban area or on rental property, you can't always give the ingredients back to the earth.

Thank you so much for voicing this, Olivia ❤ Have seen wayyy too many witches suggesting getting rid of spellremains with silver tape, paraffin wax, salt etc into rivers or right into the ground… If the Earth is already helping with one’s spell, no way does she deserve to be thanked in a way that hurts the soil/waters etc.. much love from Sweden x

Being a lawyer, it’s so funny to me how similar witchcraft is to the practice of law. The lawyer answer to basically any question is: “it depends.” It just lends a lot of credence to the whole “lawyers are fae” theory… 🤔

I usually compost my leftover ingredients if it doesn’t include salt I throw those herbs in my compost pile which then fertilizes my garden. It’s a nice way to recycle them imo and the energy goes into the growing plants which I really like. I usually only do this with things like protection and money magic or non-baneful work though.

Thank you so much! I'm a baby-witch about to do my first ever spell and this video could not have come at a better time!

I am a baby witch too and I was really worried I would mess something up if I’d just threw away the ingredients (I’ve been using candles a lot). I couldn’t get behind the idea of burying my candle wax that just seemed so wrong. I’m glad I found this video 😅

I live by Lake Superior, who is a mighty and strong spirit. She tends to be very angry in November and I’m going to start working with her. She tends to not give up anything

Thanks Olivia. Knowing there are options truly is helpful. Makes more questions too. I've got to start writing this all down

Thank you so much for this. You answered a specific question I had and I hope everyone does Nature to Nature and I always think respectfully. It is difficult living in an apartment and I'm in the Bible belt as well so I need to be sure no one sees me do anything. 🍂🍁❣🎃

Olivia you are amazing! And please to all of us, please don't throw plastic and dangerous items out in the waters! I honestly just thank them and throw them in the recycle bin as Olivia instructed!

Thank you for this video! I had been taught to bury things like glass candles after certain spells. I could never do that, as that's harming the environment. I always wondered if there were consequences for my spells due to this. I knew I was doing the right thing, but its nice to hear confirmation from someone else. You've put my mind at ease!

Yesss!! I've been longing for a video like this. I have scraps of ingredients and finished incense sticks that I had no idea what to do with. Decided I wanted to empty it every new year as a way to start fresh 😁

I really appreciate this video, this was always something I wondered about. I would always feel bad when I would thank my candle stubs etc. and just throw them away (especially because I do have a yard I could bury it in) but burying it never felt right and now I know why. Feeling pretty vindicated rn

I’m fairly new in the Craft, but I felt like sharing my methods might be helpful to someone. Personally I’ve always utilized one of the elements to release a spell into the Universe. The reason I have always done this is because every practitioner I’ve talked to has released a working either by burying, burning, dropping the spell into a body of water, or tossing it into the wind. Just as many spells are activated/born from one of the sacred elements, so to can a spell be released by them. I really connect with the element of fire, which is why I do a lot of cauldron spells. If the spell was an attraction spell I will keep the left over ashes in a little charm bag that I carry with me. However if the spell was a baneful working, I’ll toss out the ashes using one of the elements like I previously explained. Hoped this helped! Blessed be!✨

Thank you for the post and content 😀😀

this was so helpful and you're such a great orator. thank you! blessings.

How helpful and conscientious. I love the idea of recycling ingredients and giving unused ingredients back to the Earth. Hugs, health, and happiness from Las Vegas

I love this. Thank you for sharing. I also love the compost method if applicable.

Yes thank you, it's asked so much but not easily answered. Thank you for taking the time to explain 😊

Thank you so much, Olivia. This video literally came up at the right time for me. I'm saving this for future reference for my practice! 😊💙

Thank you Olivia, this was a great video and has renewed my passion for spellwork as I have been focused on other aspects of my craft for months now. It's always refreshing to watch one of your videos, I always feel inspired after them.

I found this quite helpful thank you I'm really glad thear are people like you on KZread that are willing to share your wisdom with us noobs I am very much a beginner and I find most of your videos are very helpful thank you so much for explaining things where even someone who is new to everything can still understand and comprehend it .

I always had a hard time looking for information about this topic - I could barely find it in books, blogs and podcasts. Thank you so much for this video, it's so appreciated!!

thank you. very helpful. I was always worried about throwing remains away. So this helps me decide how to dispose of stuff. THANKS

I am glad that it is mentioned when disposing that it is Biodegradable or will not harm anything when disposed of

Thank you so much for this and all your videos and guidance. You are very knowledgeable and straightforward... And I happen to like that a lot. Please keep doing these videos.

THANK YOU FOR THIS !!! I’ve been asking myself this questions for a long time.

I'm always scared about burying things because of salt and ect. I mostly cleanse, thank and dispose of the ingredients but I'm still new to everything.

Hi actually iam now on the path of this witchcraft and I today find your channel . Iam really grateful for finding your channel for some knowledge So this is just my gratitude Bye take care😉

This is yet another advantage to getting crafty and creative with a few easily obtainable and versatile items in your spells instead of A Long Mandatory List of Special True Magical Objects - a lot less headache afterwards

I was literally thinking about this exact thing some days ago while watching your videos as I've never come across an answer to this question and now u made a video abt itttt

Excellent video! very thoughtful info 🖤

i usually throw most of my ingredients outside in a hole, but for like crystals and reusable items I cleanse them very well and keep them for similar purposes (ex: banishing crystal for banishing magick only)

Makes total sense.❤

Great video that covers a very interesting topic. I would add - check your local, traditional ways of dealing with such "leftovers". I usually burn a lot of the things, since I do have a handy fireplace. But yes, throwing things in the garbage is something that I do, too. And it can actually be part of a spell - throwing away something you no longer need. :D

This is so helpful, I do pretty much entirely candle spells, so I burn my ingredients with my intention. Here's the problem with that, my candle becomes a MESS, so after every spell I have to clean it out with a q-tip or smth and I can't really keep the wax and the stuff in it. I've never known what to do with it lol

most of the time I reuse most of my ingredients and put them in simmer pot or safe them for a candle ( Example lavender, cinnamon , basil , rosemary and and and.. ). i totally agree please don't bury glass in parks or woods as a dog owner this is super dangerous and most to the time I pick them up! :)

Thank you for this video! I honestly wish more people were more conscious about what they buried. I redid my money bowl yesterday and I buried the ingredients in my back yard, I hope that maybe those ingredients will help bring more money to my house as they decompose. If not I’m still fine with it in ny back yard. I’ve seen people burning hexes in their own yard and that just kinda makes me nervous lmao.

YES FINALLY. THANK YOU. OMG.

I love this video so much

Wonderful topic. TFS

Love your videos!

Thank you Olivia

Awesome video!!

I use mostly herbs and such I often either dispose of them in my yard or burn them in my fire pit. I remove any additional items and either cleanse them for re use or throw them out

I wish I had this last week 😂

Splendid video, very informative. Merry meet merry part and blessed be 🌙

After watching some of your other videos... seeing the acorns in this video made me laugh at the thought of you banishing the squirrels in your yard xD

Thanks Olivia

Honestly, I came for validation haha. I have often worked with things I wasn't comfortable burying in a public space or releasing into a body of water, and I was left with only the option to simply throw it away. Everywhere I looked told me to 'release it back into nature' but, like you mentioned, synthetic wax was not something I felt would be appropriate to do so, ESPECIALLY because I'm a guest in another country, and I felt it was disrespectful. Not to mention I live in a city with not many parks or natural areas, so really, most spaces are public or communal. I'm so glad you made a video about this~

Thank you ❤

Another video 🤩 ** pauses life ** 🍿 Ok ... start!

I would hope that people aren't upset about your answer to reuse / discard haha most of us have that ingrained into us as witches, it just makes sense to be thrifty / giving it back to the earth in that regard

Thank you 🧙‍♂️

Thank you..your great.i love your videos.please don't stop..and maybe a few books of spells you recommend????

Watching this video I remembered I had a witch bottle at my front door from a witch I am no longer friends with. I got super creeped out and found it, ran outside and chucked it in the trash tote. I said something like “release from me 3 x’s. So more it be!” I came back inside and found a small mirror in a drawer and taped that next to my front door. And then smudged my whole front door. woosh! Synchronicity is amazing!!!

thank you ❤

I just wanted to add that more things can be harmful to water bodies than people think, it’s not just like trash or plastic. I did a study in uni about how caffeine/coffee affects organisms in rivers. The effects of all the coffee we dump down our drains are devastating on marine life. Just because something is “natural” doesn’t mean it’s safe for you to pour it into water. So check how the herbs and ingredients you use will affect marine life before you just decide “whatever its just water”.

I do it very simply I live in an apartment, most things that are used go in the trash, spell bottles go into cupboards and herbs, small bits and paper and such gets burned in my cauldron. Things like jars, crystals and other reusable things gets cleansed and reused. Food stuffs the local birds can eat, such as bread gets set out for them.

Best is burning with a oil potion feeded with intention/spell/ritual as applicable for of dismantling them. If the spell is by self the ingredients will dismantle to neutral meta properties. For spells by others the casting person is required !! We have to know who casted it !! Now when I say know means full of knowledge about conditions of life of that being. Including his/her strengths, weaknesses and cons. Have a great day Olivia.

I would love to keep learning from you

Living in an urban area, small town but still not really out in the middle of nowhere, I literally throw away any spell ingredients exactly as you said. I thank them and into the trash they go. I think anyone who may be alarmed or upset by this way of thinking may not necessarily consider that, especially living on a rental property, that you can't exactly go digging holes wherever you want or if not many people know about your practice, throwing things away is the most secretive.

Could you please make a video on banishment rituals, watchers, and other types of spirits? Here from The Green Witch’s video

You are perfection

Thank you for another great video. I wasnt sure what to do with mine as its got as mine ingredients vinegar and chilli in it so i cant dispose of it in nature and burying it i cant do. So at the moment its on my altar 🤔

Can u please make a detailed video on freezing spell?

dang it feels counterproductive to throw away protection spell ingredients but I always use salt in those so I can't really bury them :') But thank you for the explanation this was super helpful for other types of spells too!!

I need those earrings

Hi Olivia. I love your videos. I have a dilemma. I work at a storage site and when units go delinquent they are sold at auction. If they don't sell I am responsible for cleaning them out. Occasionally I find spell jars and bags. What is the proper way for me to take care of these? Treat them like they are mine and dismantle and dispose the way I would my own?

A lot of times I throw my ingredients in the trash. I only do this when I’ve used salt (which is frequently) or has salt involved in some way. Other times I compost or give the remnants to my plants/garden. I try tp keep the environment and myself safe, which is the most important when it comes to witchcraft and disposal of ingredients. Stay safe my friends

Hi i have a question. is it okay to dispose the ingredients such as candles in the garbage?actually i wanted to undo the love spell that i have casted and to undo that love spell we have to burn those ingredients used in it.but i have already gotten rid of those ingredients.i have thrown them in the garbage. now what should i do?how do i undo the lovespell?is throwing love spell ingredients in garbage is dangerous?

Note to any that use paper in there spells of any kind you want to burn the spelled paper before disposing of said spell paper

I remember when I made a love spell bottle and placed it in my closet, which happened to be right next to my sisters room. She ended up getting someone instead.

Thanks :)

What about reusing ingridiences? Like a cinnamon stick i put into my moneybowl. can i cleanse and charge it when im making a new bowl and put it back?

I have so many questions. I want to making a binding spell, with a poppet. I wanted to bury it to keep the spell active, cause I heard somewhere that mother earth can charge a spell. But not sure if my poppet will be eco friendly to bury. Do you have any suggestions for me on what I can do to keep the spell up without having to work it? Like any items or something that can super charge my spell?

A question: do you ever reuse spell components? I also live in CO and acorns can be hard to come by here. And you can’t exactly buy a bag of rusty nails at the hardware store! 😅 do you ever reuse things like this (cleansing them of course) of do you see them as expended afterwards?

Are there types of spell casting that wouldn’t require ingredients? For example, maybe writing? And how would one go about it?

I simmer things on my stove often . I could use a spell like this

How would one go about recalling power that was given to others from themselves back to themselves?

What if its a meat spell? I can not bury it there is no area to bury it. So i put it in an ecobag and put soil with it. Can i throw it? Or really need to be bury

For ingredients that can’t go into nature but what the spell away from you more quickly you could find a bin away from your property e.g at a car park for a woods

Could you reuse some of the ingredients/herbs for new spells or do you have to dispose of them after a single spell and start another with all new ingredients?

I'm sure most things could be cleansed and reused. Personally if it's something particularly nasty that it's absorbing then I'd toss it. I reuse my protection spell candle wax for other protection spells. So it carries the same intent, but I get more use out of my candle magic

Omg i burried a picture of someone , it was a spell but the spell diesnt work anymore cuz the ingridients arent on it anymore . I burried it in the back yard but i dont know if thats the righr thing to do

I did throw two kind of protection, kind of "you f_cked around now you're gonna find out " spells in the city trash as a way to 'carry' the target where he belonged and take the negative away from me. 😁

❤️

I heard that if you use ingriedients in a spell, their energy is going into the spell. So after the working, can I still use the ingredients for sth else? Or is it energyless then? I made a protection talisman and used salt and herbs etc, can I use them after the working for protecting my home or are they then out of energy? 🤔 or is it a different thing and I need to use ingredients specific for every purpose any time?
