Correspondences in witchcraft have been misinterpreted as something to memorize, like multiplication tables in math. 3 x 3 = 9; 6 x 7 = 42; mugwort is good for dreams; cinnamon for accelerating; memorize it for god’s sake. But this approach not only favours practitioners of magick with a brilliant memory, it also isn’t a true indicator of how skilled the witch actually is. In addition to this, when correspondences are approached this way in our consumerist society, it’s easy to relate to correspondences from an acquisition perspective, that compels a witch to buy, acquire, collect, and objectify. Yet, some of the most effective spells I have cast is using soil from my yard, salt from my pantry, or tea from my cupboards.
