Every day of the week has it’s own magic and energy you can harness to influence your life and magical practices and in this blog series we are going to talk about them all. Next up, we are going to talk about the energy and magic you can align with on Saturday. Saturday is the sixth day of the week in most cultures and calendars. Others view it as the last day of the week while in some Muslim cultures it’s the first day. In Judaism, Saturday is known as Shabbat, or the Sabbath, and is a day of rest and religious observance.

The name “Saturday” comes from the Old English word sæterndæg, which is a translation of the Latin Sāturnī diēs, meaning “Saturn’s Day”. The Romans named the day after Saturn, their god of agriculture, who was also associated with fertility, strength, wealth, feasts, and abundance.

Saturday is ruled by the planet Saturn

For pagans and witches, every single day of the week is ruled by a planet and Saturday is ruled by the planet Saturn. Saturn is the sixth planet from the Sun and the second largest planet in our solar system. Adorned with beautiful, bright, sparkling rings, Saturn is sometimes referred to as “the Jewel of the Solar System”. Saturn is also blanketed with clouds that appear as faint stripes, jet streams, and storms appearing many different shades of yellow, brown, and gray.

Magic and witchcraft themes

When it comes to magic and witchcraft you can certainly cast spells whenever you need them. But, if you want a little extra oomph, and when you want to amplify your results, aligning your spell casting with the correct day of the week is one way to do that. This day of the week got it’s name from the god of karma and time, Saturn or Chronos and connects us to Capricorn as well. Which makes todays energy all about time, karma, boundaries, baneful magic, discipline, structure, protection, banishing, material matters, and cleansing.

In mythology, Saturn dethroned his father Uranus which creates a cycle of life and death with the evolution of the old regime and the rebirth of a new one. Because of this, Saturn symbolizes concrete matter and birth-life-death cycles. This makes today an ideal day to do any spells related to destruction, abandonment, hatred, death, and disasters. Along with any type of spell work and rituals that enhance communication with spirits, ancestors, or working with the veil.

Just as Mars on Tuesday inspires us to pursue our goals, today Saturn gives us the spiritual and mental strength to do so. It increases our resistance by giving our intuition a sense of determination and gives us the attention to create realistic and successful plans. Saturn protects against any internal or external damage that may hinder us, so that we can follow our ambitions. This makes today a great day to cast spells to strengthen both the body and the mind as well.

I will give you some ideas below for you to use. Remember to follow your intuition with the correspondences you choose to work with and that you can always use any that correspond that calls to you for the energies of the day.

Freezer jar spell for Saturday

Since, Saturday is ruled by the planet Saturn this makes it a great day to do any spells associated with boundaries and protection! One type of spell you can do is a freezer spell. The freezer spell for enemies serves as some of strongest levels of protection. Furthermore, its a self-defense spell to use against individuals who may wish harm or ill-will upon you. Whether you are dealing with a personal rival, a workplace adversary, or even a malevolent force, this practice can help create a barrier between you and the unwanted energy they represent and bring into your life. By literally “putting them on ice,” inside the jar, you regain a sense of control and agency over your circumstances.
How to perform:
Get into sacred space. On the piece of paper, write the name of your enemy or a brief description of the situation you wish to freeze.
Place the paper inside the container wrapped around one of the lemon halves, along with the basil, garlic, and pepper flakes. Visualize your desired outcome as you do so, focusing on the sense of liberation and protection you seek. Fill the container with water, covering the contents completely. As you do, envision the unwanted person or issue being sealed away and rendered powerless. visualize them or it being literally frozen in its tracks. Seal the container tightly and place it in the freezer. Come back to the spell once a week to charge it.

Break a bad habit spell

Since, Saturday is ruled by Saturn and Chronos this makes it a day steeped in the energy of boundaries, time, and discipline. This makes it a great day to sit down, take stock of your life and find the things that aren’t serving you any longer. The habits you do that hinder you and hold you back from reaching the goals you have set in life. To do what you need in order to structure your life for success and for you to thrive. This makes it a great day to perform spells to break habits, boost discipline, and build structure. Try this spell below today to break a bad habit in your life!

What you will need:
Red candle, black candle, chili powder, oil, ginger, basil, garlic powder, piece of paper or object that represents your bad habit.
How to perform:
Get into sacred container. Take your herbs and mix them together. Than take both your red and black candle and anoint them with your oil. Once done take your candles and roll them in your herbal blend coating them in banishing herbs. Next either write on your piece of paper the habit you want break and visualize yourself breaking it as you do. Or take you object representing that habit and hold it while visualizing yourself breaking it. Next place your candles on either side of your paper or object and light them. Again visualize yourself breaking that happen. Once you feel set in that intention, take the object and rip or break the object that represents the habit. If you have written the habit on paper do the same with the paper. Once done light the pieces on fire and chant these words; “Help to release me from the power of this bad habit. Red candle grant me your strength and passion, help me to break the bonds of this habit. Black candle provide me with your banishing power, rid me of my bad habit forever and always. Banish this habit, remove all traces so I can be free. Amen. aho. so mote it is.
Lastly take the ashes and bury them in the earth or throw them away in an outside garbage to remove the habit from your life.

We all need protection in our lives from the energies that we come in contact with each and every day. But, empaths need to make sure they are protecting their energies a little more.

Try creating this spell jar tonight to help protect yourself from others’ energies and emotions if your an empath for the week ahead.

Chord cutting using no tools

One of the best practices for releasing unhelpful attachments is a cord-cutting ritual, a practice that severs the energetic ties that are keeping you connected and attached to people and situations that are no longer serving your highest good. When a cord-cutting ritual is successful, you regain control of your energy and are free to be more intentional about how you direct it— and who you share it with. Which makes it a form of protecting your energy, yourself and your relationships. With today being Saturday it is a very potent night to perform a chord cutting and have success!

Remember there is no right or wrong way to do a chord cutting follow your energy and intuition. Remember as well, chord cuttings may need to be done more than once if you are not set in your intention when performing and/or it is a very toxic chord like with a narcissist.

How to perform:

Find a quiet space where you won’t be disturbed, take some deep breaths in and set your sacred container by calling all your energy back to you.

Once, you feel your energy is whole, clean, and stable start to envision a chord of energy between you and the person you wish to cut your energetic chord with. If you need to envision a color; I like to use black, grey, or silver.

Once, you can see the chord, next envision whatever tools you would like to use to cut this chord. You can even chose to envision fire and burn the chord instead of cutting it with a tool.

Once, you have picked the way or tool you are going to use to cut/release this enegetic chord, take a few deep breaths in and state allowed

“ I (your name) release (their name) from my life and I cut, release, burn, and remove this energetic chord between us. This person will no longer have access to me in any realm and in any form. I am removed from them physically, mentally, emotionally, and spirituality. I cut and remove all energy attached to me from them. I remove all unwanted, stagnant, and stale energy that does not serve my highest purpose.”

Once, stated envision your tool and/or fire energy cutting and/or burning the energetic chord.

As it is cut take a few deep breaths in and out to experience the energetic release throughout your system.

Return to Sender invoking Lilith

Another way we can cast protection spells is by using a mirror as a magical tool for protection. Mirrors can be used for protection and binding spells. They send unwanted deeds and energies back to their senders. Think about it like light: when a light hits a mirror, the mirror reflects the light back. The principles of protective mirror magic are similar: the mirror acts as a shield that reflects the energy back. One type of spell you can use a mirror for protection is a return to sender spell. Cast this one today also invoking Lilith for some extra potent protection today!

Make some black salt as a magical tool

Today is one of the perfect days to make one of my personal favorite magical tools, that I try to always have on hand; black salt. Black salt may be a little time consuming to make and sometimes I am forgetful to make sure I have the ingredients but, I do my very best to always have a jar or two of black stored on my altar to use as needed.

Black salt is packed with purifying, cleansing and protection energy and that combination makes it so potent in protection. You can also amplify the black salt by chanting, or reciting an invocation as you ground your shells and blend the salt. You can draw sigils in it as you make it. You can also visualize your energy and intention as you make it to set a specific intention to your protection or target. For even more amplification you can charge the ingredients like your ashes under the moon light to add the intention of the phase and sign the moon is in.

How to create black salt:

Black salt is a very powerful tool for protection, warding, banishing, cursing, and hexing. It has many uses from placing around your room or bed to ward of nightmares. Lining the threshold of your door for protection. Adding to a spell jar, or ritual for protection. However you choose to use black salt it should be a staple on your shelf and altar and below are some ways you can use this protective magical tool.

Uses for black salt:
