Omg Please Drop The Silmarillion Oracle Deck Bestie…. If There’s A Link Even Better 🥺 I’m So

I dare you to ask Mother Nature if she’s on her period.

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.

Active Witch Blogs!

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!

1. Reblog This Post

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.

2. Write About Your Craft

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. ✨

Hey guys gimme some asks! I'm ready for the challenge!

Not a witch of color, sadly, but the other two apply. 🔮

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 💖

Comfort Items + Witchcraft

A collection of ideas on how you may incorporate your comfort item/s into your craft. Be creative, be specific, make it your own! This is just to get some ideas flowing <3

Stuffed animals:

Put small tumbled crystals in with the stuffing.

Make a crystal bracelet/necklace for them. 

Make herb/spell sachets (or even a teeny spell bottle) and place inside. 

Alternatively, sew on a little pocket and place the sachet/bottle in that!

Enchant to bring comfort/protection. 

*Use as a physical tie for wards or spells. 

Make little outfits - incorporate color correspondences, stitch sigils in them, add little pockets to hold herbs/crystals, etc.

Blankets:

Stitch a sigil onto a corner (or use fabric paint). 

Add a small pouch/pocket (with a flap) for herbs and crystals. 

Spritz with an herbal spray.

Enchant to bring comfort/protection.

Color correspondences. 

Make your own blanket and infuse magic into the stiches/rows. Be creative with the colors and patterns - how do they tie into what you intend to use the blanket for?

Other items/general ideas:

Hold and channel your energy + intention into the item. 

*Use as a physical tie for wards/spells.

Draw/stitch/attach sigils. 

Attach/include crystals.

Spritz with an herbal spray or attach herbs.

Utilize color correspondences/material correspondences. 

Enchant the item itself, or attach something enchanted to it. 

Things to keep in mind:

Cleansing. If you are using your comfort item to help protect from negative energies, I’d recommend cleansing it frequently! 

Charging. How do you charge the magic you’ve added to your item?

Refreshing. With wards, spells, and enchantments, they tend to fade with time. When was the last time you refreshed it? 

*Risks. Physical ties for wards can be affected when the ward is attacked/broken. Do you want to risk it? Also realize that there can be multiple layers to wards, you might use your comfort item as a smaller, more specific ward. (I recommend having multiple ward layers). 

Have fun! Your comfort item is important to you, so what you do with it magically should feel good–not stressful or overwhelming!

**Do not repost or share on other platforms**

Hit me, I’m ready!

Reblog if it is 1701% okay to drop by your ask and start asking random questions.

Eco Friendly Ingredients part 2~

I’m back, friends!

This time, we’re going to explore the wonderful world of

Crystals and Minerals!

Since everyone likes shiny rocks, and since crystals and minerals are found literally everywhere, I figured this was the next logical step in this undertaking.

When you go out looking for crystals at a specialty store, make sure you get ethically sourced, wholesale rocks, or rocks grown in a lab. I know witches on both sides, and I get where each are coming from.

If you get rocks you know are ethically sourced (i.e not through unpaid labor like *blood diamonds*), then good for you. Sometimes, witches are broke, and can’t drop a crap ton of money on rocks. That’s where lab grown rocks come in. 1000% cheaper, same rocks (arguably). Regardless, know where your rocks are coming from.

It might be helpful to have a little guidebook on rocks to help you identify what you have, especially if you’re going for cheap tumbled rocks like what you find in a gift store. Then you know what you have!

I hope this was helpful, and not some incoherent rambling. If you have any requests for the next installment of the Eco-Friendly Ingredients, please let me know!

Here are the first 5 Silmarillion oracle cards! They are Ulmo, Vala of water and all that lives within it; Mairon, better known as the troublesome Maia Sauron; Melkor, the rogue Vala of chaos and destruction- better known as Morgoth, the reason we can't have nice things; Nessa, the Vala of Wilds and wife of Tulkas; and Nienna, Vala of Grief and Compassion, who moves all peoples- even those of the enemy.

Each one is handmade, so no links, sadly. There is glitter paint on them though, because mystical fantasy deities need sparkle- even the dark evil ones. They're mostly Valar, with a couple influential Maiar strewn in there. Gandalf will make an appearance at some point!

omg please drop the silmarillion oracle deck bestie…. if there’s a link even better 🥺 i’m so obsessed

Of course! I think I’ll do a couple at a time- there’s a lot, and they’ve all got individual backs!

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

Due to the overwhelming number of Silmarilion posts, I’ve created a sideblog. I’ll link it here:

@mai-youdumbass

Y’all have fun
