My Favorite Simple Wards To Guard The Home

Love it when a reading is full of major arcana, it's like tarot's version of an all caps Facebook post about the end times coming

Imagine an elf is given a job to do at a human institution. The humans think elves don’t need bathroom breaks, since they know they can hold it for days, but this elf has been traveling to reach their job, and has already been holding it to the point they are in pain. They ask for a break, but their job is important and time sensitive, so they admit they can still hold it when asked. After a full day of work, the elf tries to reach the bathroom in time, but they were never told where it is.

I'm a baby witch, just started a few months ago, what do you recommend in terms of studying?

I'd say a good place to start is types of witchcraft. It will help you sort of "position" yourself within the craft and show you the many aspects of it and all the cool things you can look into further afterwards. There's a lot of posts on Tumblr that summarize most of them but you'd do well to look up other sources and read up some more about them (or at least the ones that interest you) on your own.

Also the difference between paganism, wicca, new age and witchcraft.

! You certainly don't need to label your craft, or follow a specific path. You don't have to be or call yourself a green witch, an eclectic witch, etc. if it doesn't resonate with what you're doing. Hell, I call myself a traveller of worlds, mainly, and a witch sometimes because that's what makes sense for me and my story.

Have fun! ✨

Post Your Practice

Please!

We gotta start posting about our practices more and what we find through research, experimentation, things we experience, etc.

Not the super sacred or private stuff, just like,

that tea spell you did? Write about it.

That glamour for your acne? Spill the beans, bestie!

Learn a new fun fact? Share the info!!

Because it'll inspire others to do the same.

It doesn't have to be super decorative, aesthetic posts! It doesn't have to look like an academic paper!! It can be a picture of a sticky note with a spell idea scribbled on it!!!

I wanna see more people telling us about their tarot readings, their one-off spell that maybe didn't work, the thing they picked up from the thrift store that they plan on using as a spirit vessel, how energy flows for them, how they view magic, and so much more.

And don't think that you can't or shouldn't post because you're new or because you're inexperienced.

Everyone started at the same place: The beginning.

so please, post your practice!! <3

Pine cone wish spell

Items needed:

Pine cone, cinnamon, small pieces of paper, candle

1.) write your wishes on the pieces of paper.

2.) roll them up and stick one end in the wax and insert it into the pine cone.

3.) pour the rest of the wax on the pine cone and sprinkle cinnamon on top. Let dry.

4.) on New Year’s Eve burn in your fire to release your wishes into the universe.

*the photo features glitter added to the pinecone. You can add glitter or anything else you’d like.

An easy tip for my fellow spirit workers or others who use candles in their magic (especially "light it and leave it" style casters):

Put stickers on your lighter(s). Have a different colored lighter for various moods or purposes. Put stickers on those shits. My favorite spirit work lighter is hot pink (because it's what I had) and is covered in relevant stickers. A little holographic ghost, a candle, purple and yellow hearts, a butterfly, a white lily, the word "remember."

It's literally that easy. Enchant your lighters. With the power of STICKERS.

Putting ideas into words is hard and idek if this makes sense but here is something I have been thinking about lately:

Stop researching for your craft. There is no one truth to witchcraft and I think that researching has been hindering us from truly connecting with the spiritual world. Go outside and collect some grass or flowers or stones. Listen to them, they will tell you what they are and you can use them as you see fit. Rosemary doesn't have to stand for wisdom, pine doesn't have to attract money, plain sweet grass can cleanse and banish and ward if thats what it does for you.

The earth will tell you what it can do, its just up to you to listen.

(obviously though this does not apply in a medicinal sense. don't eat things that you don't know)

Aura/Energy Color Meanings

This list is based off of resources I have found as well as my personal experiences.

As with all correspondences, this is a place to start from, not the end-all be-all of color meanings.

This list generally assumes that brighter colors are healthier and more positive, while duller colors are negative and less positive. Use your intuition to determine the true role a color plays.

Interpreting Colors

OVERLAYS If one color is covering another, this can indicate outer appearance, how others perceive them, or a blockage that is preventing the inner color from shining.

COMBINATIONS If one color is mixed with another in stripes, lines, or spots, the person presents both qualities in equal or similar measure.

MIXING If two or more colors appear to blend together, this can indicate strong balance and intermingling of personal energies.

SOLID If a person primarily presents only one color with no overlays, they are honestly projecting their inner energies.
