A Design For A Race Of Aliens Want To Use In A Comic In The Future (sorry About The Lined Paper) Might

I actually legitimately hope that they show this in schools.

I just found out that there are more of these clips of cap in homecoming and I haven’t stopped laughing since 😂

Offering: Leaf Envelopes

Recently I saw a very cute post about using leaf envelopes as a vessel for offerings and prayer. So in honor of Lughnasadh, I decided to try a few!

I started with large leaves (elephant ear) cut into 10cm x 10cm squares, and folded two corners inward like so:

Then fold the bottom corner up as well, and glue in place.

For one I made it to help with my Mental Health.

Inside: Rosemary (healing)

Ginger (success)

Sage (wisdom)

Blessed Thistle (purification)

ᛇ

(stability)

ᛞ

(clarity)

This was charged with Abalone, Bloodstone and pink, blue and white candles.

Another I made for devotion to Arianrhod.

Inside: Lavendar (healing)

Sage (prosperity)

Bay leaf (protection)

Rose Petals (love, luck)

ᛒ

(rebirth)

ᛉ

(growth)

This was charged with Moonstone, Selenite, Smoky Quartz and purple and white candles.

Last step is to fold down the top corner, and seal with wax. To add to the wax I used a seed on silver wax for Arianrhod and part of a pinecone on blue wax for Mental Health.

These are very customizable and pretty easy to put together! I love the way they look on my altar, and I have two more planned that I'll add when I make them.

NAVIGATION

ALL - Everything, in chronological order.

ART - Stuff drawn for the AU, either by me or other people, but mostly me. This includes both comics and still images.

PROSE - Writing and fanfiction set in the AU.

LORE - Information about characters, places, and plot arcs.

ASKS - Questions asked by readers! See what’s already been covered.

FAQ - General questions about this blog or contents of the AU that are more meta than story focused.

FAEFOLK - Questions about faeries and magic in this AU. Non-character specific world-building stuff.

Lexicon:

TRUE FAE - A full-blooded fae, with no human ancestry. Considered more powerful and ‘pure’ than their changeling counterparts.

CHANGELING - A catch all word to describe beings that are some mixture of human and fae. Applies to both faebloods and faetouched.

FAEBLOODED - A changeling that has faerie ancestry, especially within the most recent generation. In some situations, the blood may be diluted past the point of qualifying.

FAETOUCHED - A human or earthly animal that has been significantly changed or infected with the magic of Faerie. Usually this applies to humans that have been stolen away as slaves, but can be used in other circumstances.

FAERIE QUEENS - The rulers of the Courts of Light, and the AU equivalent of the Diamond Authority.

COURTS OF LIGHT - The kingdom of Light Fae, ruled by the Empress of Light and Stone. Within this court there are three subdivisions: The Court of Thunder and Flames, the Court of Waves and Rivers, and the Court of Flowers and Thorns. Each court is ruled by its own Queen, but ultimately they all answer to the Empress.

REALM OF SHADE - A world of Faerie Shades, opposite to the Courts of Light. Generally considered to be lawless and savage, shades are sometimes uplifted to serving in the Courts of Light. Though they have no formal leadership, they bow to the Empress’s rule in most circumstances.

THE HEDGE - An endless sea of thorns and brambles that inhabits the spaces between Faerie and Earth. More or less a space between dimensions, and is typically hostile to humans and fae alike.

HEDGE WITCH - A human with high sensitivity to the Hedge and its inhabitants, giving them heightened perception of supernatural phenomenon. All humans have some potential ability to tap into magic given the right situation, but Hedge Witches are those either with natural talent or who have trained themselves to access those energies. Generally used to describe humans who have retained more humanity than faetouched.

HEDGEBEAST - One of the various creatures that manages to make its home within the Hedge. Generally considered fearsome for their ability to coexist with such an inhospitable landscape. Tend to be violent towards outsiders.

Character Tags:

STEVEN - Faeblooded prince and inheritor of the Court of Flowers and Thorns. On the run from the Court of Light. Third changeling child of the Maiden.

CONNIE - Overworked human teenager, brand new Knight of Flowers and Thorns. Swept up in this nonsense due to chance and also destiny.

PEARL - Faetouched servant of the Courts of Light. Guardian and protector of Steven. At least, she used to be.

AMETHYST - The second changeling child of the Maiden. Steven’s half sibling, has a history of getting in trouble with fae.

GARNET - Ostensible half-fae prophet and spiritualist, with mysterious properties. Location unknown.

GREG - Human hedge witch and father of Steven. Location unknown.

LARS - Faetouched weirdness magnet living in Empire City. Doing his best to avoid the supernatural and failing utterly.

ROSE QUARTZ - Referred to as “The Maiden of Flowers and Thorns” in this AU. Gifted the entire of her being to Steven and ceased to exist. 

WHITE DIAMOND - Referred to as “The Empress of Light and Stone”. The Queen of all fae and the ruler of the Courts of Light. 

💞A Glamour (Spell Jar)💞

A glamour spell to appear more noticeable & confident. It also encourages self love, which will help you appear more confident. This is all based on how I do magick, and my opinion. What You Will Need: - A jar - Moon water - Rose (Any form will do, use a carrier oil though if you’re using essential oils!) - Lavender (Same thing as above, any form will do)  - Cinnamon  - Pink glitter (Optional)  You could also use anything else you associate with love, power, confidence, healing, beauty. This is just what I used. Steps: Place all items in the jar, move your hand in a circular motion (clockwise) to mix it up a bit. Then place it somewhere, and forget it. Let it do its thing. In Addition: You could carry this around with you, or place it near an object to allow it to attach its energies & properties onto that object. You’re done! I hope someone does & enjoy this spell. Have a lovely day 💖

Protection Spell Jar 🛡

Ingredients: A jar with a lid/cork Black Candle Sea salt Black Pepper  Rosemary  Thyme  Basil  - Steps: 1. Gather your ingredients. 2. Light the black candle. 3. Put all the ingredients in the jar, imagine the protective energies from the black candle going into the jar. 4. If this jar has specific intentions, now would be the time to state those. As in “I am protected from this person/feeling/thing.” 5. Seal the jar.  - You’re done! - You can keep this on your altar or carry it with you for protection. You could also make one when doing something that requires a few extra shields! - I hope someone finds use in this! Enjoy! Have a lovely day 💖

Also now is the time to work on your abundance spells since we are celebrating the harvest and all the abundant food!

It’s also the time to start thinking tidying up the house, start making preserves and jams in prevision of the darker months to come. In the same spirit, it’s time to finish some big projects to be clear during the darker months.

Deep cleaning your house is always a good idea, get rid of things that you don’t use to make space.

I hope you’ll have fun on this holiday. Let me know what you are planning to do!

This is beautiful
