The trill ✨ of almost getting hit by a car at 7 in the morning
Farewell online privacy
This is your daily reminder:
Your haunted doll is not evil. She is just bored.
If anybody says you're too old to play with dolls, send your haunted doll after them.
The demon you summoned approves of this message.
Wait it’s not from 2023?
have these been done yet or…
Good morning peeps. Hope you’re having a great morning. Make your self some coffee, tea, hot chocolate or whatever you like to drink in the morning. Eat some breakfast, even if it’s just a small bite. Have a great day.
When cleansing your space, you may be tempted to use white sage or palo santo, they have some good benefits, but they are endangered and also closed practices.
Here are some alternatives for cleansing!
Lavender- Lavender is my favorite, it can reduce anxiety, it can help with sleep, too! It’s good for concentration and clarity during meditation, as well.
Cedar- Said to attract positivity and drive away negative energies
Juniper- Good for purification and energizing the mind and body
Mugwort- gets rid of negative energies
Rosemary- general cleansing, has strong masculine energy
Cinnamon- good for psychic abilities
Peppermint- helps with clarity
Essential oil diffusers- Essential oil diffusers are good for humans, BAD FOR PETS!!!
Crystals- As long as you and your pets aren’t eating them, crystals are a great alternative to smoke and diffusing oils.
Sound- Sound bowls, instruments, and clapping can all cleanse your space!!
Meditation- Just meditate with the intention of cleansing your space. Make sure you aren’t soaking up the negative energy, though
What is a taglock?:
An object or item that represents a person, group, or business. Essentially it's an item that's used to tie spell work, ritual or other magickal practice to a target. They're often used for positive and negative magick.
Why are taglocks used?:
Not all workings need a taglock. They're often used by practitioners who are doing their spell casting remotely, often for people who aren't present for their workings. They're often used for people who want remote spells done for them. For example you're doing a spell for a friend who lives in a different country, you'll often use a taglock to attach them to that working because they aren't present. This also applies to spell work and ritual who's aimed at a particular person that aren't present for that working because they can't be there or they don't want to be there. It can also be used for those who don't want to carry around those spell items, the spell will still influence them though they don't have the physical objects on them.
If you're doing a long term spell for yourself and you don't want to carry around those spell objects or item 24/7 then you'd want to add a taglock to attach the energy of that working onto you. This is often used in bags or jars that are quite bulky or difficult to carry around, but you want it to still continue to affect you though you aren't in it's energetic space. If you're doing a remote healing spell for someone who lives in a different country, and so if you're using a doll you'd want to add something into that doll that represents the person as a taglock so that working will manifest in their life.
What classes as a taglock?
They're an item that represents the intended target weather it's a person, group, business or company. They're an object that represents them so closely that you can use that as a replacement for their own presence for that working. In other words it's apart of them that is also separate from them. This can be anything from the mundane to the gruesome.
Types of taglocks:
There are two types of taglocks. For example the bodily objects that can be taken from someone, that's hair, nail clippings, saliva, urine or the very gruesome. The items are a representation of that person and are often given freely.
Other types are items used to represent a person that's not directly from them. That's full names, photos, signatures, and date of birth. You can also use items that belong to them. That's something of significance, pieces of clothing, or scraps of clothing, typically unwashed. You can also go for business cards, or logos that represent that company or business. The more personal you can get the more closely that working can attach to the person or the target. If you can use more then one taglock that's even better.
How to use a taglock:
Witch's bottles are one of the the oldest forms of taglock that's found in the UK or Europe, they are objects that are designed to act as protection for an individual or a home. They are seen as a scapegoat, they contain objects or items that represent you so closely that any spirits or spell work or negative energies that are aimed at you will instead be directed at the witch's bottle. They are an energetic duplicate of you. Traditionally what is used in a witch's bottle is urine, this goes back to hundreds of years, and are still often found today. You may also find hair, nail clippings, blood, saliva, red wine, vinegar, urine, pins or nails, and shards of glass. They're designed to attract the energy by using a taglock and then contain it and make it very rancid and horrible. Then once it's filled to compacity it will then break, which is a sign you need to make a new replacement. They are often used for a year.
Poppets or puppet are representational tool, it is designed to represent you or a target. It's very useful if you have a taglock of that person. It's either added inside the doll, such as hair, nail clippings, a photograph, signature, date of birth. The clothes of the poppet are often made out of the scrap of the persons clothes. Which is often unwashed and gifted to you. You can place items outside of the poppet as well. Often hair is added onto poppets of the actual person that it's aimed at. Some people will even stitch the photograph of the person on the outside of the poppet as well to represent that person. You can either put the taglocks on the outside or the inside of the poppet. Your personal choice. They're often kept for years and years. When not in use they are commonly wrapped in a black cloth and stored in a safe place, so they can be drawn out again if workings need to made again in the future. Often used in long distance workings.
Candle spells are a little different, you need to find something that isn't going to burn that isn't going to go rancid and is appropriate for that working. So you'll want to use a business card for example, by placing it under the plate or a candle holder. You can also use photos, full names, date of birth, or signatures. As always the more taglocks the better. It's worth playing around with them, but be sure to be safe about doing it.

The sun tarot card weather spell (inverted)
Holding the Sun card upside down, chant the following spell to make a cloudy or rainy day.
“The sun grows dark upon this day,
See the power I display.
In the light that will turn bleak,
A rainy/cloudy day is what I seek.”
What's the difference between American red foxes and English ones (appearance wise, I guess)? What's the best/easiest way to tell them apart? They look really similar to me!
The most obvious difference is in the fur. European red foxes (Vulpes vulpes crucigera) have fairly short, stiff and densely packed guard hairs that are designed to protect them from wet weather. American red foxes (Vulpes fulva) have much longer, finer guard hairs, giving them that classic soft and fluffy look. Their fur is designed to keep them warm and protect them from the snow.
European foxes on the top/left, American on the bottom/right
American foxes also have much fluffier tails than European ones, often with rounded tail tips, while European foxes often have tails that taper to a point.
Another way to tell is the colour. Putting aside colour morphs, normal red coloured European foxes have a lot of different colours and tones mixed into the coat. Some can be fairly solid, but a lot have varying shades of red, yellow, brown, grey and black. Frosting, the silver guard hairs over the hindquarters, (and sometimes forequarters and face), and usually more prominent on European foxes. American foxes tend to be fairly solid in colour and don't have a lot of different colours mixed into the coat. The shade of red can vary depending on the subspecies, but the overall the colour will be pretty even.
As for colour morphs, the cross morph is only found naturally in American red foxes. There are a few regions in Scandinavia, Russia and Hokkaido, Japan where cross foxes can be found but those are all the result of farmed American foxes being released or escaping and breeding with native foxes. In the UK you will never see a wild fox with this cross colouring
In Europe the equivalent of a cross fox is the smokey or coal morph. They vary from a yellowish colour through to a dark brown with a lot of black and grey in the coat. Throat and belly may be white, dark grey or black, or a mix of all three and they lack the black faces of a cross.
Silver foxes do exist in Europe but they are exceptionally rare, and usually referred to as black foxes. They are often darker than American silvers with less silver hairs, although American silvers can very a lot in darkness.
Although this can vary a lot by region/subspecies and even individual, European reds tend to have quite blunt, rounded facial features. American reds tend to have sharper features, such as pointier muzzles and ears. American foxes are also smaller than European ones, but this is hard to tell from photos alone.
American red foxes also have longer legs than European foxes. This is most obvious when they’re in their short summer coat. European foxes also tend to have less black on the legs than American foxes.
