Just reiterating that the heart of witchcraft is (just like science) experimentation and documentation. Try things out. Get them wrong. Mess up. Do better. Write down your efforts. Make changes and alterations based on what you have access to. Above all, if it works, it works; if it doesn’t, then it’s no good. Witchcraft is a results-based practice.
To get rid of a bad habit:
Best performed under waning moon 🌒. Take a piece of paper and write down your name at the top. Write down a list of things you WILL NOT do. For example if you're trying to quit smoking, "I will not smoke when I'm stressed. I will not use smoking as a release from my emotions. I will not smoke than one pack a month..." Take the paper and fold it as many times as you want, leaving a little bit of paper at the top. This will act as a flap of an envelope. Burn a candle🕯️ and tilt it so that it's wax drops on the opening and seals the envelope. Take this envelope out everyday and keep sealing it with a little bit of wax everyday until the New moon.
It is important to start with "I will not" because getting rid of things is best performed during a waning moon.

sometimes I'm like how do people get going with only 30 minutes in the morning, it takes me that long just to feed my cat, give him his insulin, use the bathroom, and start water heating for coffee/tea. that doesn't even get to making/eating/putting away food, taking my medications, drinking the coffee/tea, brushing my teeth/washing my face, and getting dressed.
I know some part of it is the labor thing where you can outsource some of it (buy coffee/breakfast someone else made instead of making it yourself to save time) or neglect your body (skip coffee/breakfast instead of making it to save time), and another part is the disability thing (not needing to deal w insulin shots & medications that need to be taken with food before you can start the day).
but man, I wish our culture/society was built to accommodate long slow mornings because despite a good number of people being able to get out of bed & be ready to start (commuting to) work within 30 mins, I don't think it's good collectively for us to be setting up schedules that require that. It's so unsustainable.
Dream on. 🌙
