Little Devotional Acts for Gods

💖 Setting aside clean bath water, a towel, and a bit of soap for your gods to use for Themselves as you bathe yourself. 💖 Giving the first bite of your meal to a god or goddess. (In Hellenismos, Hestia received the first and sometimes last bite, which you burn/dispose of and do not ingest.) 💖 Dedicate tasks to certain deities. For example, weaving for Athena, travelling to a new place to Hermes, and cleaning up a memorial of your loved one to Haides. 💖 Clean up your altar or shrine space if you have one and make a small offering. 💖 Light a candle or incense in Their honour.

How To Spot Faeries

1. Spheres of Light

One of the most common ways fairies and other ethereal beings are noticed, is as spheres, flickers or glints of light. It’s very common to see it around mushrooms, blooming flowers and springs. People associated with fairies (children of fairies) can watch these lights anytime. You may also notice unexplained movements out of the corner of your eyes.

2. Chilling sounds and music

Once you’ve entered the fairy Realm nothing is the same. Soft sounds may greet the strangers who enter the fairy land. Whether it’s the sound of various wind instruments - like the flute - or a simple sound - like the welcoming sound of tiny bells - it’s absolutely the same. Allegedly, if you ring a bell over a spring or pond you may see the reaction of fairies responding to your invitation.

3. Fairy Rings It’s long believed that fairies love to sing and dance at night. They usually dance around a circle. Many who stay in forests at nights claim to have heard wonderfully enchanting songs, while later in the morning they find mushroom circles, circles of flowers or trace of footprints of human-sized nymphs dancing known as the Fairy Rings. Many believe that the “Fairy Rings” are the Gateways to the Fairy World. Respect the fairy rings and always ask for permission before entering the Circle.

4. Laughter As Fairies are - almost always - described as cheerful creatures, when you are close with these entities it very likely to hear laughter or feel the urge to laugh. The feeling of joy fills your heart and lasts long!

5. Scent of Flowers

You are walking down a path, or even a road while your nose is filled with an overwhelming scent of flowers like Iris or Violets, or even the scent of the grass like it just rained or maybe it smells like walnuts, apples or grapes. As fairies are often associated with flowers, plants and trees, this could be the work of a playful Fairy sprinkling scented fairy dust to you, blessing you or trying to catch your attention.

6. Deviations of the Air

The “fairy wings” may cause a light breeze on the area around a fairy. Whether it’s actually the wings or the energy shift around the ethereal being does not really matter. Pay attention to the leaves around you. A gentle whirlwind may be a solid proof that a fairy (or fairies) like your company.

7. Animals around you Act Weird

You notice that you are being followed by birds like ravens, your cat acts weird, staring at something for minutes (with no apparent reason) or play with the air while your dog is nervous or probably bark at something you do not see. As Fairies could be described as the Souls of Nature they can easily cause phenomena like this.

8) Milk or Beer goes bad and candies are missing

Your milk has gone bad before its actual expiration date and so does your beer. You may also notice that milk is less as if someone drunk it while you are certain that no one would ever drink from your milk. This could be a sign of a fairy who entered you house. Try to contact them rather than getting angry.

9) Jewellery and shiny objects are missing Before you call the police try to look around if you can find them in other places. Fairies love to play with humans in this way. They enjoy “stealing” stuff like this and hide them in different places. It is said that Fairies love all shiny objects and that’s what they love to take first. Keys or with fancy keychains is a “fetish” for this wonderful creatures. Be kind to them. They -almost- always return them!

10) A sense of warmth on your skin

The energy of the Fairies - when is in close contact with your aura - can be felt like tiny vibrations of energy on your body, or heat on your skin. You may actually feel the warmth of the beloved creature as a gently tingling or tickling on part of your body.

11) Flowers (and other plants) sprouting from bizarre places

This is another phenomenon that is often associated with the presence of Fairies. You may notice that from one second to another a flower has bloomed while you could swear that you have not even seen it at all! This is very common when Casting Fairy Witchcraft or a Ritual which invokes Fairies. If this happens in your house it means that you have a winged visitor… or maybe visitors! 

12) The Eyes of the Woods Have you ever felt that trees are watching you as you walk down the path in a forest? Have you ever felt the presence of something really strange when you are alone and the night-sky is full of dazzling stars? The Trees may - indeed - have eyes of their own, as they are probably inhabited by magical creatures as Fairies (of course it can also be elves, gnomes or other entities). Greet these trees and ask for guidance and protection.

LISTEN UP WITCHES, THIS IS A CRYSTAL PSA

Hello all, I’m Robin and I’d like to talk about man made or processed stones and crystals. I’m sad there’s not a lot of discussion about “unnatural” or man-made stones. They’re kinda unfairly thrown under the rug, which is honestly heartbreaking as a lot of them hold so much potential in witchcraft. Here are just a few.

Red Goldstone: “Ugh, but Robin, goldstone is just silica and metal particles, you cannot tell me there’s an ounce of natural in that!” Do you know what silica is? Glass made from quartz sand. Red goldstone is made primarily of QUARTZ and COPPER particles, to give it that gorgeous reddish hue. So you get an awesome frankenstone with the combined properties of both quartz and copper, which I think has many very interesting implications.

Blue Goldstone (also see Blue Sandstone): Same process as any goldstone, just infused with cobalt instead of copper. I’ve been having a bit of a love affair with cobalt lately, it’s honestly so intriguing. Although man made, it still responds very positively, some even claiming a stone treated with it obtains a “peculiar” healing property. I love any element with a personality, and I’d be very interested in obtaining such a piece in the future to investigate myself. (Also have you seen it, it’s a chunk of the night sky)

Aura quartz: Tumblr has been gawking over aura quartz for a while now, but I still see people stick up their nose, which is so sad! A true aura quartz has been heated to just under 900° and metal vapour is added to coat the crystal and give it that luster we all love so much. The metal and colors vary (gold, cobalt, etc.), so you can have some very interesting property combinations. Some witches even believe the memory of heat effects the stones nature, similar to stones made in hot metamorphic conditions. But I digress.

Heat Treated Stones: many stones, even highly valued ones, can occur naturally in a murky color (rubies, saphires, etc). To give it a more vibrant hue, they are cooked a bit more to clear away the darker tones, or some “unwanted” colors, like brown on amethysts. It’s just heat folks. The ruby is still a ruby, the amethyst is still an amethyst. If you prefer the natural color, by all means power to you, but stop scaring others away.

Lab-Heated Citrine I’m exasperated with the number of “call out posts” citrine gets. “Is your citrine FAKE??”, “3 easy ways to tell your citrine point is NO GOOD!!” Chill the fuck out, unbunch your panties right now. There’s an awesome article about citrine here, but I’ll summarize briefely. Lab-Heated Citrine and natural occurring citrine ARE THE SAME GODDAMN THING. The coloring will be different due to the difference between a miner’s oven (citrine will be white at the base, honey colored at the tip) and the earth’s mega oven (occurs in varying shades), but they are BOTH GENUINE CITRINE. Please read the article, it will go into the details. If you feel like your lab-heated citrine has a disconnect from mother nature, bury them in your backyard a bit so it can get re-attuned, but stop demonizing them for no good reason.

There are many more stones and crystals that need addressing, but I’ll finish my rant here. If you still prefer natural over processed, that is 100% fine, and I support you. But I implore you, please stop attacking witches who genuinely enjoy and find processed stones useful in their craft. Thank you very much for your time.
