Hello! I Saw That A While Ago You Reposted Something Saying That It Was Okay For Newer Witches To Ask

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

Hi guys, I’m back- work and college were kicking my ass; at one point I was at two jobs and two schools. But now, I have TIME, and I’m going to go through my inbox and whatnot.

Thank you for your patience!

I can dice it big, médium, or small chunks- but not cups

It’s going pretty well for me so far! I rarely have time for complex spells, but they help when I do. If you want to know what kind of far are around, you could just ask. They won’t be offended by that.

Also- they will probably hide your stuff. Ask for it back nicely and they’ll give it back.

I’m always happy to answer any questions you have!

I’ve always been super curious about working with the fae, but I’m also terrified from what I’ve heard. 😬

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.

Reblog if you:

Have a blog completely dedicated to witchcraft. Not just aesthetics though.

Post original content relating to witchcraft ESPECIALLY if it is information on your blog. If you have original content it’s okay if there’s other stuff too.

Are a witch of color, especially if you own a business I can boost. I want to support and learn from more of you!! 

Thank you! I’ll be following. Have a nice day 💖

Sigils: How-to’s and Where-to’s

Sigils are little symbols that can channel intent to do spells or help in rituals. I find sigils are very low energy, and good for witches in the broom closet- or however you categorize being a secret witch. Stick these bad boys on the bottom of your shoe, as a doodle in a notebook, on a random sheet of paper, and no one will ever know!

There are several methods for making sigils. I’ll make a post covering each. Today, we’re covering the 1-9 Method! (If there’s an actual name for that pls tell me)

The 1-9 Method!

The 1-9 Method is a method where you assign each letter of the alphabet a number between 1 and 9 to make a sigil.

The first step is to take the alphabet and put it into a chart, with 9 columns, each labeled 1-9, so it’s organized something like this:

Once you get that all finished, pick a word or a phrase; I’m going to use “protection”.

This is where things get a little dicey. Some people say you have to drop all repeat letters. Some say repeats and vowels. I personally view that as garbage; doesn’t mean it isn’t a valid way to make a sigil. I just think that we organized the whole damn alphabet into 9 columns, so we should use the whole damn alphabet! I drop my repeats, so “protection” looks a like this:

Protection = Protecin

After that, we match every letter with its number on the table.

Protecin = 79625395

Now draw a circle. Divide it into 9 pieces, and start with your first number; in my case 7. Find point 7, and move to point 9, then 6, so on and so forth. Here’s how my circle started out versus how it ended:

I tried to include arrows, but it looks a bit confusing……. *sigh*

Hope you all learned something in my post! Have a fabulously magical day! 💜✨✨
