Witches’ Name: Dust of Spirit Flight
Also Known As: Spirit Flying Powder
Traditional Equivalent: Herbal spirit flight blends used by seers and witches across ancient Celtic and European lands
Celtic History:
Flying Powder is a dry, enchanted blend rooted in the ancient practice of Otherworld journeying, common in Celtic seership, hedge riding, and fae communion. Rather than using ointments, Celtic witches often relied on powders made from visionary herbs, sacred ashes, and ritually gathered botanicals to open the veil between worlds.
This powder would be burned, scattered, or worn as witches prepared for trance, dreamwalking, or spirit travel. It was used in rites to reach the Sidhe, commune with ancestors, or walk the ancient roads of the Otherworld. In true Celtic fashion, it is not flight of body but of spirit, soul, and knowing.
Magickal & Spell Uses:
• Spirit Journeying: Burn or scatter in ritual to aid astral travel or flight to the Otherworld.
• Hedge Riding: Use before trance to guide your soul across the veil and safely return.
• Dream Magick: Dust into dream sachets or pillows for lucid dreams and spiritual messages.
• Fae Communion: Offer at sacred trees or mounds when calling the Sidhe or seeking hidden paths.
• Trance & Seership: Circle yourself or your tools in the powder before scrying, divination, or prophecy.
• Veil Crossing Rites: Use at Samhain, eclipses, or liminal hours to step between worlds.
• Ancestral Contact: Combine with mugwort or graveyard dust when calling upon the dead.
• Liminal Protection: Scatter in a ring to shield yourself during journeywork or dreamflight.
• Otherworld Rites: Use in rituals of spirit walking, inner pathfinding, and sacred wandering.
