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!
I also recommend this book! Honestly, Holly Black is just good at writing the fae in general! Read all her faerie books!! I love the Tithe series and her Folk of the Air series, too.
If you guys are looking for a good novel about the fae pls read “The Darkest Part of the Forest” by Holly Black it’s one of my favourite books. The world building and characters are just amazing!!!!
Why are my Silmarilion oracle cards such pessimists? Are they okay? Did the Feanorians find you?
I recently discovered I have a little pixie who has been living in my house since before we bought it. She is literally the tiniest thing, only roughly an inch tall, and loves vanilla and sugar.
I used my new pendulum, which I shall post about later, and struck up a random conversation that began with my brother asking the pendulum was what was better than canned beans and the pixie replying with sugar, and ended with my sister asking what the name of the spirit who was answering the question.
I’m tempted to start a little coffee shop/bookstore and make this like a little part of my logo. And I mean a cross between a coffee shop and bookstore, because nothing is cooler than that.
So a lot of us are out of the broom closet so to speak, but many of have to be careful of being public because of the views of the communities we live in. What I propose is a symbol we can put on flyers or in shop windows that means “You’re safe here.”
I don’t believe that a pentagram would work because it’s got so much stigma attached and it’s really easily identifiable. Ideally, we can find something that is not tradition specific. I don’t know. I just want us to be able to put feelers out into the community without painting a target on ourselves for intolerant jerk faces, and I want witchlings that are seeking guidance to be able to do so in a safe environment. I mean, how badass would it be to find a little symbol of solidarity in your favorite coffee shop or bookstore??
Reblog with suggestions!
So I left some pretty flowers out for the fae while working in the garden, and I came outside later to take my dog out -because going is not going to happen unless someone is outside with her- and I found my sugar spoon that has been missing for two years where I left the flowers and now I’m like *shock*
I can dice it big, médium, or small chunks- but not cups
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. ✨
Hello! I saw that a while ago you reposted something saying that it was okay for newer witches to ask you questions…I’m not sure if this has anything to do with divination, but I’m also not totally sure who to ask. I recently opened an unused deck of cards and the Ace of Spades, which I always understood to be the most superstitious and powerful card, was missing. I have my own intuitions about what this may mean, but I also wanted to ask a more experienced witch.
Thank you!

Hey! I’m glad you asked. I’m this case, I would go with your gut. The suit of spades in cartomancy generally refers to a roadblock or a difficulty.
More specifically, the Ace of spades means a new insight or realization. So you could have a lack of insight on a problem somewhere in your life. Maybe you’re working at a problem without all the input and angles needed.
Or, on a less magical note, there is always the possibility that you’re just missing a card in your deck. It depends on your gut, and if your instincts say it’s related to a problem, then reevaluate a problem that sticks out to you. (Because there’s only one card to go off of, it’s hard to know the specifics of the problem, which is why it might just be a missing card. I recommend pulling another from the same deck, just to see what it has to say.)
Hopefully that helped! I’m new at answering asks, so I apologize if that wasn’t coherent..
