Hello. Thank You For Your Help. It’s Greatly Appreciated. It Gave Me Clarity And Insight!

I am discomfort…

Writer friends, I discovered a fun website today. It’s called “I Write Like” and here’s the description: Check which famous writer you write like with this statistical analysis tool, which analyzes your word choice and writing style and compares them with those of the famous writers.  Let me know which autor you got! 

Shout out to my cousin, a Wiccan, who went to her (much loved and adored) mother’s Christian funeral and delivered a very touching eulogy out of respect for her mother and her beliefs.

And then threw hands with the pastor doing the service, who said that “Not everyone goes to heaven, so just be prepared for that”, and “I don’t know how God will call [great-aunt] to heaven, (she’d been cremated) but I’m sure he’ll figure it out.”

WHILE THE GRIEVING MOTHER AND CHILDREN WERE IN THE FRONT ROW.

He told my cousin, who pointed out that this is a funeral of a much loved woman, and that he should not be saying that to the family, “Oh. Well you’re wrong.”

She tore him a new one. Then she had our ordained grandfather stand up and deliver the rest of the sermon.

So thank you Dea, for putting that man in his place. Your mum was the only one who could defeat my mom at Scrabble. She will be missed.

Absolutely!

When your friend is a pagan witch and you're a christian but it's cool because tolkien is life

@maithewitch that sound about right?

That’s what they all say...

I am about to be THE most organized witch you guys just wait 

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)

The Origins of the Fae (Tuatha de Dannan, Aos Sí, Tylwyth Teg)

Faeries in Different Cultures: Celtic (Irish, Scottish, Gaulish, French), Norse, Influences from Greek and Roman culture.

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.

Faery Landmarks (fairy tree, fairy ring, fairy hill)

Signs of the Fae

Sacred Trees and Plants (Hawthorn)

Why certain things offend them- iron, saying “thank you”,etc.

Faery Flowers, herbs and crystals

A proper and personal way to communicate with them!!this means developing psychic ability, tarot, meditation, signs, etc.

What to do with your Finished Spells!

I see a lot of people who wonder what they do with their spell jars or the remains of a spell when it’s run its course. The answer is.. not simple, but not complicated.

There are three methods of spell disposal that I think work the best:

Reuse: if you have any things like stones or beads, I recommend cleansing them, and then using them elsewhere. But you have to cleanse them!! Their energies will get muddled, and the poor things will get confused.

Throwing them away or recycling: things like plants and herbs can be thrown away- biodegradable and all that. But things like glass jars?? Recycle that bitch! Thank each component for it’s service, and then throw it away.

Burning: IF SAFE TO DO SO burn your spell. Throw the ashes away.

Anything really that isn’t putting it down the drain or burying it! That’s not safe for the environment, don’t do that.

Have a wonderful day!

The next 5 are done!!

They’re the Tower, the Devil, Temperance, Death, and the Hanged Man!

There’s a reason this salt dough recipe is the first thing in my grimoire. Very few tools have been quite as versatile as this. I have made offering bowls, a measuring spoon, a deity statue, runes… and I could go on.

Salt dough is wonderful for witchery because you make it yourself, it’s cheap af, you can make it with things you steal from the kitchen while you’re stealing McCormack herbs (don’t lie, you know you’ve done it), and it’s salt based which is like the witchiest of witch things.

The small discs on the page are my latest idea, which is outlined in the second note on the page. I mixed dried herbs into the salt dough, formed discs, let it dry, and now I’ve got these portable little magic herb discs. The ones on the page are basil and powdered sugar for drawing wealth at work. But the possibilities are endless. If you can make an herb sachet or powder, you can probably also make it a salt dough disc.

Witch tip: set these out on a dish to dry by your window to give it all that good sun and moonlight.
