This Is My Homemade Pendulum Made With A Prism And A Nice Chain

Faerie etiquette and whatnot is so very important! One of the reasons I got into faerie witchcraft is because weird stuff was happening when my dad began clearing out this one really wild part of our yard, and I found out that there were angry faeries! Angry faeries are not fun.

Things to Research Before Working with the Fae

Research is the most important thing to do before heading into Faery work and witchcraft. You want to have a lot of in depth and versatile knowledge covering many areas of the topic so you’ll be able to understand and interact with the Fair Folk! If you don’t want to work with the Fair Folk you can use this list to help yourself understand them and take the proper measure if you ever stumble upon them. I know the list could go on forever but I’m compiling the topics I find build a good foundation of understanding. I have compiled this list to give those interested guidance and a push in the right direction, it is best you do your own research before asking other’s personal knowledge and opinions!!

The Basics

Terminology ( Fae, faery, fairy, changeling, seelie, unseelie, sidhe, etc)

Folklore & Myths!! ex. Oisin and Tír na nÓg , Fenian Cycle, Arthurian Legend. 

Celtic Gods, Goddesses & Heroes- strong influences and connections to the Fae

Types of Faeries (study diverse types from pixies,brownies, pooka to Kelpies, Bwbach and Red caps) *Make sure you can at least answer who, what and where about them.

**if you have more topics, books or anything else feel free to add some!

I find that working one at a time is best, if you’re kinda busy, and tbh, runes are pretty easy to learn. Once you get the hang of runes, move on to tarot; it’s like paper runes!

Hope it was

Helpful ✨

So i feel like runes are calling my name and i want to learn about them... but im also still learning tarot and i have a long way to go.

Fellow witches, any advice? Should i study both at the same time or is it best if i learn tarot first and then runes? Whats your experience?

Thanks in advance, blessed be ♥

Oracle Cards!

Who doesn’t love a good Oracle Card reading? Everyone loves tarot, but there’s a lot of stuff to remember! With Oracle Cards.... well there’s still stuff to remember, but it’s much easier if you......

Make them! ✨✨

You will need:

Thick paper or cardstock

Paint (optional: glitter paint!!)

Drawing tools

Scissors

Your fucking imagination!

Cut your cards out of the cardstock in any size you want- they just gotta be uniform- and in any number you like.

Now for the fun part: Draw the image, write a message, a bit of both! Use that big, beautiful imagination! Use it!! They can be part of a theme, random, whatever you want.

Paint it, color it, etc. I used glitter paint because why the fuck not? Once you’re happy, turn the card over, and paint the back. They can be uniform or unique (Unique ones you can have people draw blindly or choose one they’re drawn to).

Let the back dry, and bam! Oracle Cards! That you chose the meanings for!

Here’s a few of mine; they’re based on Tolkien’s Valar:

Create some beautiful cards and do some readings!

Omg, thank you very much!!

No problem! I enjoy doing these readings!

Ingredients that are Eco-friendly, pt 1

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!

How to dry 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!✨✨

When you’re a witch blog but you do fandoms like drugs, lol.

Could you please reblog this if you are a witch who isn’t Wiccan?

So I’ve decided to share my Grimoire.

I’m writing my grimoire like an instructional book, because if I pretend I’m teaching someone, I tend to explain the concept better, and it flows better.

To work with this, I am going to either post pictures of the book or copy sections to my blog. It begins tomorrow, so let’s hope it goes well!

Did he upset them, or did you convince him not to?

The Saga of my Witchy Friend vs the Fae

My Witchy Friend: Man I’m going to fight the Fae stealing my shit That’s RUDE I don’t steal their shit

Me, someone who has a good relationship with the Fae: Dude, honeymilk 

My Witchy Friend: I  will never  give them ANYTHING!!! NO THEIFS ALLOWED IM GETTING HORSESHOES FOR THE DOORS AND NAILS  AND SALT

Me: that’s just going to piss them off

My Witchy Friend:  me just pouring a bucket of salt onto the floor and putting nails on top

[Line breaks indicate a new message]  Yes he knows I post this he follows my blog

Just ask them! No one knows the Fae’s reasons better than the Fae!

Fae Help

After talking it out with a friend, we realized there are a lot of signs of the fae around me, and they’ve been happening as long as I can remember. To my knowledge none of it has been malevolent, mostly just neutral. Does anyone have any idea how this might have happened and what they might want?
