Witchy Tip of the Week: Techy Witchy Tips

Hello babes! Happy Thursday, hope everyone has survived Mercury Retrograde & Eclipse season so far! Personally, I have been having miscommunications & misunderstandings left and right and am exhausted hahaha. But thankfully, my tech has been secure so far (hoping not to jinx myself with this post). So, I figured it is time to share the wealth of knowledge on how to use tech to make your witchy life easier!

Now, if you are a techie person and interested in witchcraft, you can combine the two for your practice! Head over to my Digital Witchcraft post to learn more ways to work with this type of craft. Any who, as an eclectic witch, I like to find ways to incorporate all things into my practice, and I have always been a big fan of technology and how potent its reach can be. Now, when Mercury Retrograde is in effect, it's a great time to lean on this type of magic to help keep your tech from going wonky when you need it to go right!

So as stated above, witchcraft and tech are actually fast friends. With how advanced our technology is there is so much that you can do with different avenues of witchcraft to better & protect your technology. Here are a few of my go to moves for protecting tech during trying times like Mercury Retrograde:

• Create a sigil

  • A sigil is a magical symbol born from intention. You can create one specifically for tech protection—imbue it with the energy of shielding, clarity, or smooth operations. Once made, use it as a phone wallpaper, laptop screensaver, or even watermark your important docs with it. You can go physical too: draw it on a sticky note and tape it inside your device case, or carve it into a tech pouch.

• Cast a protective spell

  • A simple energy shield works wonders. Imagine your devices surrounded by a glowing, protective barrier—like an energetic firewall. You can enhance this by calling on your guides, deities, or guardians to watch over your digital tools.

• Use crystals for Digital Defense

  • Crystals like black tourmaline, smoky quartz, amethyst, and clear quartz are incredible for deflecting negativity and electromagnetic energy. I always keep a Selenite bowl by my bed to rest my phone in overnight—it's like a crystal spa treatment for your tech. I’m also a fan of stick-on Shungite for EMF absorption; mine lives on my phone and iPad.

• Invoke a protective deity

  • Feeling called to divine assistance? Work with protective figures like Hekate, Athena, or Archangel Michael. You can do this through prayer, visualization, or even setting up a tiny tech altar. Want to go extra? Ask them to send you a sign—like a number or animal—to let you know your tech is being tampered with or protected.

• Set up Wards Around Your Devices

  • Magical wards are energetic boundaries you can place around your tech. Use herbs like rosemary or sage, protective oils, or even digital amulets (like icons or apps charged with intention). You can also enchant a tech bag or case with a warding spell for on-the-go shielding.

Bonus: A Simple Spell to Protect Your Tech

Materials:

• A black candle

• A small piece of paper

• A pen

• Protective herbs (such as sage, rosemary, or lavender)

Steps

1. Cleanse your space and your tech using smoke from protective herbs or a sprinkle of dried herbs around your workspace.

2. Light the black candle and place it beside your tech.

3. Write your intention: “I protect my tech from harm and negative energy.”

4. Hold the paper over the flame (safely!) and say: "By the power of fire, I charge this paper to protect my tech from harm. May the energy of this flame infuse this paper with protection and light.”

5. Let the candle burn all the way down, then tuck the paper somewhere safe—inside your laptop case, near your modem, or in a pouch with your favorite protective crystal.

Pro tip: Cast this spell on a Tuesday to channel Mars energy for protection and strength.

Whether you’re working remotely, building a digital business, or just want fewer weird tech glitches, these magical methods will help keep your devices running clean and clear.

Remember, your energy + intention = real power—even when it’s expressed through a smartphone.

Stay safe out there my friends!

Until next time,
