I’m just a baby witch, and I don’t do crazy stuff, but if you’re in the closet like me, I hope I can help, even though I mostly reblog.
Hi, everyone! Yes, this is another ‘reblog if…’ but this one comes with a twist. Whilst my own dashboard is definitely dry lately, it’s also becoming increasingly obvious that the witchblr community in general is beginning to become less active. There are lots of reasons, of course, but rather than focus on the issue, I want to focus on a solution.
If you are an active witch blog, divination blog, religious blog, or anything in between that finds themselves here on witchblr, I have two things I want you to do!
Reblog this post and maybe say a little about yourself and your blog. But, also tag/mention blogs that you think are really wonderful and active! Again, I want this to branch out to many different kinds of bloggers. New witches, seasoned witches, brujas, european witches, root workers, hoodoo practitioners, you name it. This community is about diversity and personal pathways. It’s time to big each other up.
My humble recommendations are: @thepastelpriestess @powerpriestess @shadow-of-wings @will-o-the-witch @nightshadeandroses @witches-ofcolor @ener-chi @luna-di-fuoco @mercury-minded @urbanspellcraft @upthewitchypunx @hermeticimp @divineclecticism @themagickcat @themanicnami @underworldpriestess @ancestralmedicinemagic @she-who-treads-on-water @shintowitchling and probably even more amazing practitioners I have forgotten. Each of these people are so knowledgeable and kind, and often give to our little online community here. I love reading/seeing their content and I know you will too.
Not just this month, every month, but I do want to maybe try to encourage February to be a really good month for sharing and creation. It doesn’t have to be a long post, it doesn’t even have to have a theme. Just share. Tell people what you’ve been up to, or explain a personal revelation you’ve had. Ask for tips on a spell you’re working on. One thing we’ve lost on witchblr is a sense of personal identities, probably after months of silly discourse making people shy away. But here’s the thing… Witchcraft is personal.
If anyone more media savvy has any great ideas for this, please add on. All I can think is to share, and maybe ask some interesting questions to blogs you admire! I don’t mean the usual stuff, but maybe ask ‘What is something you always put into your spells?’ or ‘What’s your personal take on how magic works?’ - something which is interesting and allows us all to find our places again.
I am really interested in seeing what we all end up making or writing, so if you want to share some personal ideas, or find others wanting to create a more active witchblr again, we can use the tag #WakingWitchblr. Talk about your blog on it, write ‘reblog if’ posts to find likewise people, ask an interesting questions. Let’s just… Be again, people!
Much love, stay blessed. ✨
Hi, I have a quick question about the fae. Are they known to leave people gifts of shiny things? I haven’t done any work with the fae, but for about a few months now I’ve been finding coins nearly everywhere I go, when I almost never find them normally. Today I was on the train and I looked on the seat next to me, where no one had sat after I sat down, and there was a coin there that definitely wasn’t there when I got on. I’ve also been finding keys and even a ring (which fit me perfectly, too), and it’s at the point where it’s a little too coincidental to ignore. Do you have any insight/thoughts?
Hey anon! Yeah, the fae tend to leave shiny objects around- especially if they like you or want to get your attention. I once found a whole sugar spoon, and that was how I met our garden faerie. I recommend reaching out, and seeing if they want something, and mayhaps leaving an offering. See what happens!
My college campus actually used to be a hospital! Yay, double the fun!
thinking about hospital and university underground tunnels....
there is something about them....
It’s that time of year again!! Free the paprika!!!
This is my all-purpose travel altar! It has:
-an electric tea light
-a thimble for my lil chalice
-my backup pendulum (made with malachite and leather cording)
-a little circle of hematite beads
-a pair of nail scissors for my bolline
-a clear quartz chunk, a pyrite chunk, what I’m 98% sure is agate, and a pretty blue stone I absolutely love but don’t know what it is (if you know PLEASE HELP A POOR BABY WITCH)
-some little slips of black paper
-2 pennies
-a rose petal and a cinnamon stick
-2 little handmade pouches containing salt & lavender
-a sigil I don’t remember what it’s for????
-there is also a tea light holder for a little offering bowl, but the electric tea light is in it..😅
And guys. I still have room for more!!
Hi, and welcome back to a new witchcraft post! I saw you guys really liked my post on spell disposal, and I wanted to make a post on some fabulous ingredients that are
Eco friendly ~
So here is part 1! The obvious one, herbs!
I think we are all in agreement that herbs are literally the most common of all spell ingredients, but you’d be shocked at how much people pay for a jar of dried herbs (or at least how much my mum pays at the grocery store)!
My family actually decided to start growing our own herbs, like thyme, lavender, sage, basil, oregano, rosemary, etc. Of course, my family being Christian, they used them for cooking.
But no matter what you do, cook or spell, an herb’s at its most potent when dried!
So how do you get from fresh herbs to dried?
Cut your herbs! Cut with plenty of stem, and don’t take too much, only what you will need for now. Make sure you thank that plant for its help, and give it a drink!
Take a bit of string and wrap one end around the base of your stems, so the herbs hang upside down.
Tie the other end to a hanger or a window hook, or a curtain rod. I hang mine in mostly darkness, my mum does it in mostly light. I recommend the mostly darkness method; my mum’s always turn out funky. I tie my bundles to a hanger in my closet and let them do their thing.
Wait 1-2 weeks, or until mostly crunchy to the touch. Not crispy, but crunchy.
Now you’re done! ✨✨
Have a magical day!✨✨
🍀📝 I am going to pass my SATs 📝🍀
Speak it into existance!!
Likes charge, reblogs cast~!
That’s what they all say...
I am about to be THE most organized witch you guys just wait
I am a baby witch, who specializes in sigilcraft and herbs. I would be happy to make sigils for anyone who needs one! This is to help me explore my craft, and if you would help me, I would greatly appreciate it! I ask for no money, unless you want to give me knowledge. Which is also greatly appreciated, by the way.
hi!
i found your blog and i was wondering if you could help me. i'm a baby witch and i'm having a hard time trying to find books to read about fae. i do not want to begin fairy work right now, i believe i'm not ready, but i'm obsessed with them since my childhood and i want to learn more. do you have any books recomendations? or even other sources of fae and fae work. if you don't, that's fine.
even if you just read this, thank you very much! i hope you have a nice day.
Hey there! I will tell you, my journey into fae work started like yours, and at some point, the fae will make themselves known, wether you’re ready or not, so knowledge is important. I have always liked faeries too, and I ended up researching the fae in various folklore- brothers Grimm, traditional Scottish and Celtic folklore, whatever I could get my hands on.
Unfortunately, the vast majority of my collection of folklore is inherited from various grandparents and great grandparents, so a lot of them are incredibly old or out of print.
HOWEVER! There IS the Spiderwick Chronicles! Before you laugh at me, hear me out: one of the authors is Holly Black, and that lady does her research!
This is a companion to the series- and a lot of the lore in here checks out; if not the types of fae specifically. Turn your clothes inside out if the fae confuse you? In there- and that’s pretty obscure. Start here, is my recommendation, or the folklore section of your library!
Darth Sauron 2.0! When the Final Battle occurs, Mairon is blinded by Olorin’s lightsaber! Mairon, now Sauron, uses the Force to see the future, and to tell where people are.
Otherwise he just memorizes a room layout.
• Mai • They/them • 18 • A safe space for witches who are in the same boat I was, not super long ago. Divination, plants, and faeries are my specialties!
