A few witchy reminders-

Witchcraft is not a substitute for therapy.

Witchcraft is not a substitute for a vaccine.

Witchcraft is not a substitute for medication.

Witchcraft is not a substitute for medical help of any kind.

You can believe in the power of herbs and crystals, but you should always get the professional medical help that you need in a given situation. As Bee Hollywood said, “You go to a witch to heal a broken heart, and you go to a doctor to heal a broken leg.” Sure, magick can help your broken leg and ease the pain, but professional medical procedures can help it more and even fix it entirely. Take care of yourself in the ways that you need care first.

Okay I didn’t want to have to do this but I’m in desperate need of funds right now.

If you can help here is my cashapp. Literally anything will help at this point. Please also reblog this post.

Read below for more info if you want. I am disabled and unable to work. I am in the process of trying to get ssi but it’s taking a while and I will likely need to file an appeal with my lawyer. I was hoping this process would go a bit faster and was just going to suffer and wait but that isn’t going to work anymore. So I’m breaking and asking for help here. I didn’t want to have to do that but I feel I have no other choice at this point.

Thank you.

Witchy beginner plant:

Lavender

Witchy Beginner Plant:

⬇💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜⬇

Lavandula is a genus of 47 known species of flowering plants in the mint family, Lamiaceae. It is native to the Old World and is found in Cape Verde and the Canary Islands, and from Europe across to northern and eastern Africa, the Mediterranean, southwest Asia to India.

Scientific name: Lavandula

Family: Lamiaceae

Kingdom: Plantae

Order: Lamiales

Tribe: Ocimeae

Subfamily: Nepetoideae

Harvesting:

in the spring or early summer gives the plant enough time to possibly produce more flowers for a second cutting. The best time of day to harvest lavender is in the morning, after the dew has dried but before the heat of the sun draws out too much of the fragrant essential oils.

Care:

Lavender is drought-tolerant, which means mature plants don't need to be watered all the time like your other garden plants. Too much water can leave them susceptible to root rot and fungal disease. Young, newly planted lavender does need regular watering until established (either by irrigation or adequate rainfall). The soil should be Light: Lavender needs full sun and well-drained soil to grow best. In hot summer climates, afternoon shade may help them thrive. Soil: Lavender grows best in low to moderately-fertile soils, so don't amend the soil with organic matter before planting. Lavender performs best in neutral to slightly alkaline soils.

Spiritual meaning:

Lavender flowers represent purity, silence, devotion, serenity, grace, and calmness.

It is Is Clearing + Cleansing for the Mind, Body + Spirit

In dreams:

To dream of lavender flowers represents appreciation for honesty that allows you to feel completely carefree or neutral. Feelings about family life or safety that allows you to accept yourself the way you are. Appreciation of being completely insulted from danger or worries.

Witchy Tip #3

DO. NOT. BUY. THE. JARS! For some reason when you become a witch (or even a zero/low-waster) you are going to be tempted to buy up jars like they're going out of style. Resist the urge, you will be shocked how many jars you accumulate if you save the ones from food products. One exception you may want to make is if you need something super air tight and don't trust the jar from whatever you just finished. Other than that, you are going to end up with a shit ton of jars, like your house is literally going to look like a craft store.

Note: I'm, uh, speaking from a friends experience with this because I wouldn't know personally. 🤥 😂

Pitch: a muppet movie where the muppets play D&D, and it cuts between the muppets around the table and the fantasy being acted out, but instead of it just being the muppets dressed up in D&D fantasy costume, it's celebrity actors but the muppets do the voices, and the actors have to act how those muppets would. Imagine a barbarian played by Jason Momoa voiced by Miss Piggy.

Hi friends~

I hate being that person to ask for anything in life BUT I have rent due next week and due to life being… well life, I unfortunately do not have enough to pay it.

I’m in between jobs, having health issues I’ve been having to pay out of pocket for and having to take care of my sick cat. All of this has absolutely drained my wallet. I don’t like asking for hand outs, but I’ve been working my butt off between dog sitting and door dashing trying to make up bills, but I’m just not there yet.

Because I don’t like asking for hand outs just for nothing, I’m also willing to do tarot readings, pendulum readings and even work on art commissions! (Art commissions may take a little a time due to work and such).

I’m also opening my shop sometime in the next few weeks, but it’s unfortunately after rent is due, since I need to buy a few more supplies in order to finish pieces so any extra money will go towards that.

The littlest bit can help and I appreciate anyone who can give a little!

looking for active witchblrs! pls reblog and like if youre an active witchblr ❤️ my feed is so fcking dead rn

3 years ago

honestly, if you don’t know why something is part of your craft, maybe it shouldn’t be there. 

if you don’t understand why you cleanse a space, why are you doing it? are you cleansing away something that might be necessary to that space? if you have no connection to the wheel of the year, why celebrate the sabbats and esbats?

there are so many witchcraft resources and books that will just dump a whole load of unsourced things into your craft, and when you’re just starting you might feel like you need to build your craft up quickly, take on all these things. but it’s important to examine every aspect of your craft, whether it’s deep research of a few minutes of contemplation. 

if you don’t know how it got there, or if it should even belong there at all, maybe you need to marie kondo that shit

How do I know which deity I’m talking to, or if it’s just my own inner voice?

Silas’s guide to Deity Communication 101:

Okay, so the absolute first step is to get to know yourself. You need to be able to identify what it feels like to be alone in your head/body, in order to identify when something else is there with you. So step away from your altar, don’t call upon any deities, and just spend a few days alone. Things to pay attention to:

what does your inner voice sound like? does it change or is it always the same?

do you think in a monologue, or have conversations with yourself? do you play different voices?

have some imaginary conversations, with your mom or best friend or a celebrity even. what does that feel like, sound like, etc?

how often do you hear your own voice? are you monologuing constantly? do you have to convert your thoughts into words?

is it usually quiet in your head, or pretty loud with lots happening? what do each feel like to you?

how often do you visualize? what does that look like? do you pick what you’re seeing or does it pop up randomly?

Talk to yourself out loud. does your inner voice respond?

Talk to someone else out loud. what happens in your head during that conversation?

Really pay attention to these things and getting a solid grasp on how your own brain works and responds to all sorts of situations.

Ready to move on? Now you can start learning to identify your deities. Depending on how your brain works and how your relationship with each specific deity works, communication could look any number of ways. Be open to learning what that is, rather than trying to force a certain communication style!

Start out by just trying to get time with your deity:

pray or talk to them, out loud or in your head!

spend time at your altar, gather things that remind you of them or that are associated with them.

write them letters

meditate while focusing on them & your connection to them

Hold crystals you associate with them, light them a candle, so a spell for them with herbs they like, etc

give an offering, invite them to join you for a meal

read their stories and myths, get to know them, learn how their worshipers usually get in touch with them

go out in nature, find a spot that reminds you of them. Could be a tree, a body of water, a clearing in the woods, a patch of wildflowers or mushrooms, a big rock, etc. Make that your place, meditate there and invite them to join you.

use tarot, a pendulum, etc. (pay attention to the energy you feel, if the same cards come up frequently, etc.)

Look for art, music, etc that reminds you of them. or make some!

Now WHILE you are doing all of the above, pay very close attention: does it ever feel different than when you’re alone? what does it feel like? Pay attention to all your senses!

How does it sound in your head? is it louder or quieter? does your inner voice respond the same as usual? does it take on a different tone or pace sometimes? do you hear a different voice altogether?

do certain things pop into your head, like you don’t hear a voice but knowledge or answers are just kinda… air-dropped to your brain?

How do you feel emotionally? is there a sense of calm/peace? is there a rush of excitement? does your energy feel different?

what do you see visually? is anything different about your visualizations? do you picture certain animals, imagery of your deity or things associated with them (plants, the sun/moon, water, etc)?

do you taste or smell anything specific?

do you have any bodily sensations, like butterflies in your stomach, a tingle down your spine, hair standing on end, goosebumps, a warm feeling in your chest, a sudden burst of energy, or a suddenly so calm you’re almost sleepy?

does music play in your head?

do you recognize an energy or “vibe” when you’re interacting with them? what does it feel like?

Be patient with yourself, it may take time to really tune into these things and feel the connection. But eventually you might see a pattern of how you feel when you interact with your deity. I recommend trying to start with just one, and really master how it feels when you’re together.

Once you know what they sounds like or feel like to you, it will be easier to tell when they’re around or communicating with you. You’ll learn to recognize them even when you’re not at your “spot” or specifically praying to them.

Budget Witch Tips #3

Birthday candles are perfect for candle magic, sealing spell jars, and for devotional altars.

Dirt, twigs, or grass can be used to represent Earth.

Tap water can be used in spells that call for any water, you don't have to get moon water collected at midnight in Antarctica for your spells to work.

Burning paper with intentions on it would be a really easy spell for you to do. Any intentions.

Dear Budding Psychics, Mediums, Divinators, and Everyone Else Going Around Telling Non-Witches That They're Secretly Witches During Readings,

STOP.

Being a witch is not a secret superpower that has to be unearthed. It is not an inherited genetic marker that magically manifests at a certain point in a person's life.

Being a witch is a choice that a person must make for themselves. They cannot be INFORMED that they are a witch if they have not previously made this choice of their own volition. You don't get to TELL people that they're witches. That is their decision to make.

It's not something you can read in a palm. It's not something you can see in cards or tea leaves or a psychic vision. It's not something you can TEST for arbitrarily.

You don't get to tell someone they're a car mechanic if they aren't. You don't get to tell someone they're in a coven if they haven't taken vows. You don't get to decide for someone whether or not they're a witch.

(Apparently, this is a new "thing" among novices, particularly those of school age, this idea of doing a reading for someone and "determining" that the client is a witch, without the person having ever made that choice for themselves. Sure, it might spark interest and bring them to the community looking for more information, but the idea of being able to designate or "tell" other people that they're witches, independent of their own choices, needs to be squashed.)

Even if you have reason to believe that someone is secretly a witch, it is Very Poor Form to inquire directly, if they haven't chosen to share. Plenty of practitioners have Very Good Reasons for keeping their practice under wraps. If you want to make a private inquiry, that's fine. Just be prepared that you might receive a denial, no matter how sure you are. If the answer is no, that's it. Don't invade people's privacy, especially if you live in an area where being publicly labeled as a witch might be unsafe.

I know we like to say that witchcraft doesn't have universal rules, but there ARE overarching codes of conduct. And one of them is that you do NOT out someone as a witch without their permission. Ever. Because you do not know what the repercussions might be for that person and you may be placing them in danger without knowing it.

If someone decides to be a witch or to live openly as such, that is their decision to make and theirs alone. And if they choose not to be, this must likewise be respected. You don't get to make that decision for them, just as you wouldn't want anyone else making that decision for you.

Sincerely,

Someone Who Lived Through The Satanic Panic And Has Done A LOT Of Research About Witch Hunts
