Sooo You’ve Done How BTS See Their Soulmates Energetically...What About How The Soulmates See Them

If you are wondering how my mental health is i just accidentally swallowed a tooth and that should be enough information for today

Thank you for your replies! I'll keep the precautions in mind. Although I must say it's very intriguing how he doesn't know about his origins. And what does he think of the Christians and humans in general? What does an eternal being do for eternity? What does he look forward to? Thank you for answering again :)

it is really interesting that he doesn't know his origins! i've never run into that question with my deities since they were all born. i also find it really cute how he doesn't have a physical form but could have one if he chose (and how he has favored pronouns?? legend). anyway, hope you see this anon!

✨Faeries ✨

Today we’ll be talking about Faeries! Also known as Fairies,  The Fae, The Fair Folk, The Honest Folk, The Little Folk, and many more. 

- What are faeries?: The answer to this differs between personal belief and cultures. What we do know is they are powerful, tricky, spirits found in nature. I personally like to think of them as nature spirits, having a specific connection to a place, like a river. Or a certain tree, plant, flower, element, ect. Each existing to protect or represent that thing, and be called on in its name. I also think faeries are specific extensions of the energies and correspondences surrounding the elements.  Where do I find them?:  As stated above, in nature! There are many different faeries, with different stories, associations, and things to offer. If there is nature, there are faeries.  Why should I work with them?: Let’s get this straight for those who are new, you do NOT have to work with or even believe in them to be a witch. That being said, Faeries can help as reconnect with nature, they can keep the nature that surrounds us safe too. For example helping and protecting a garden, they can help us in the way spells can too. They can help with luck, love, growth, happiness, just about anything you’d use a spell for. But don’t be fooled, faeries can also be tricksters. The majority of them are mischievous by nature. So beware, and stay safe. I’ll get into how to do that in a bit.  How do I work with them?:  Fae are similar to other spirits or Deities in that they have specialties, they can offer you help and advice. If you just want to keep on good terms with them or open up general communication and see where it goes you should go out into nature and leave an offering. Preferably near your house. If you want something specific, however, you should look into different kinds of Fae that are associated with that thing. To contact a specific fae, you could go somewhere that fae is associated with and leave an offering or do divination. You could meditate on the situation with them in mind. Summon them into a dream. It’s up to you and your practice.  Ways to honor them/offerings:  • Meditate and focus on them  • if you grown fruits and veggies, leave the last of it on the plant for them.  • Leave a bit of choice food like milk, bread, or wine out on the earth for them. They also like shiny things like jewelry, the finer things.  • Make an altar to them, especially to specific Fae.  • Leave a space near the fire for them.  Is there anything I shouldn’t do or be warned of?:  Yes! The Fae are mysterious creatures who can be easily offended. Here’s a list of do’s and don’ts when working with or communicating with The Fae.  DON’T be rude! Do not say anything disrespectful to the Fae, they consider themselves better than us and are more powerful and tricky than us. Often, much much older too. This also includes not snooping in a Faeries things or realm, not speaking of gifts or blessings they bring you, and not carrying iron with you or near them (it hurts them and WILL be seen as insulting or an attack.) And absolutely do not lie!  Always keep promises. This goes with the last tip, don’t lie to them and if you don’t keep a promise or deal the debt WILL be repaid either by your own hand, or perhaps less favorably by theirs. Do not accept a gift, say sorry, or thank you.  Once more on the topics of debts, doing any of these things implies you have a debt to them and you don’t want to find yourself in that situation.  Do not give them your name.  This gives them power over you. Instead say “You may call me ___.” Perhaps give them a nickname of yours.  Do not mention a child, especially an infant! The Fae love children but they may switch the child with a changeling or cause misfortune for the child if you anger them, do not risk it!  Do not dance with them or accept food or drink.  In folklore and stories this ends with dancing till death, or being forever tied to the Fae’s realm.  Mind your words.  The Fae are masters of trickery, they’re mischievous by nature. The Fae tend to take things literally, like genies in movies. You might not break any of these rules, yet they’ll still mess up what you ask for or wish for. Choose your wording VERY carefully, especially when asking for help.  How can I learn more?:  I would highly recommend The Fairy Bible by Teresa Moorey. She goes over just about anything and everything you’d want to know relating to Faeries. She also goes over many types of Faeries, including elemental faeries, weather faeries, tree faeries, flower faeries, and household faeries.  If you have anymore questions about the Fae feel free to message me! I adore this topic.  I hope this helped your or you learned something!  Enjoy! Have a lovely day 💖

3 Ways to Manifest Effectively

Manifestation methods are like “vegan spells” or “unsalted rituals” to traditional witches. They are not agents of the occult, but they still are vehicles for magic. So if your faith is strong, then as long as divine timing agrees, you can manifest with ease.

Eat Your Desire

Prepare your favorite food in the world. A bowl of nachos, a slice of roast beef, a pint of ice cream. Whatever it is you crave the most.

Then talk to it. Transform it into your desire.

“You are a first-class ticket to Paris. You are the view from the top of the Eiffel Tower. You are every ride in Disneyland. You are a cute French guy giving me a box of macarons and asking for my number.”

As you say every word, believe it.

Finally, dig in.

Let your desire enter your body. Feel it merge with your soul. Enjoy every single bite, as if you are experiencing not only the taste of the food itself, but the taste of your desire along with it.

Claim Your Dream

Scribble today’s date on your diary.

Then write your dream as if it has already come to pass.

“Dear Diary, I am tired, but happy. The first day at work is always exciting but draining. My colleagues are nice. The guy sitting in front of me is pretty hot. I hope he’s single. My boss said I’ll have to work overtime this weekend. That’s fine. The pay is huge anyway. I hope you too had a nice day.”

As you write every word, imagine that it truly happened.

And then send over that job application.

How can they not accept it when you have already lived it?

Flush Your Fears

Fill a goblet with something dark. Cranberry juice, chocolate milk, red wine. Whatever you can easily find.

Then hold it in your hands, and tell it what you are afraid of.

“I’m 25 and I literally have never been in a relationship. All my friends had their first at like 15. I am an entire decade behind! I want to believe that my soulmate is delayed because the Universe is still writing me an extremely beautiful love story. But let’s be honest. I’ll die a hermit is more like it.”

Truly feel your deepest fears as you speak them out loud.

Now that it is no longer your heart, but rather that goblet, which is holding all your fears, flush its contents down the toilet. Then break the goblet and throw it in the trash for good measure.

The worst possibility has been eliminated. The best is about to be activated.

Red Flags in Witchcraft

Red Flags When Looking For Information

As a Witchling, doing research before attempting any spell-work is important. Whether you are asking more experienced witches for their knowledge, reading a book or searching for information on Google, you should always cross reference from multiple sources. While this is a good way to verify information, you should be aware of red flags to look for when doing your research. Inconsistency in terminology Pay attention to the words people use. You can often find people interchanging words to refer to the same thing. If you see this, consider it a red flag. It is important that you research the definitions of different terms, especially when you are just beginning your path as a witch. Here are terms that are sometimes interchanged that shouldn’t be: - Talisman & Amulet - Pagan & Wiccan - Smudging & Smoke Cleansing - Pentacle & Pentagram - Jinx & Hex & Curse Claiming Spell-work Does Not Have Consequences You may come across some witches who like to believe that doing any kind of spell-work doesn’t ever have serious consequences. Here is the problem with that: every action results in a consequence. It may not necessarily be a negative consequence, but there are risks. Always keep in mind that when you do spell-work you can either have no results, the results you expected or results you did not expect. Spell-work sometimes backfires. Sometimes spells end up causing more harm than good. There is also the possibility of causing collateral damage to people who you never intended to harm. This is why we always push the fact that Witchlings should always learn how to do proper cleansing, banishing and learn how to set up strong protections before attempting any other spell-work

When They Talk About Using Restricted and/or Closed Practices If you are new to witchcraft, you may not have heard of these before. Some practices are restricted or closed, meaning you either have to be born into them or be invited and/or initiated. The primary reason for certain practices to be restricted or closed is due to them being oppressed and abused. The history often includes racism, slavery, invasion of their sacred land and genocide. Here is a list of practices that are restricted or closed:

Restricted:

Hoodoo

Eastern European Religions.

Judaism.

Sikihism

Zoroastrianism

Gardnerian Wicca.

Alexandrian Wicca.

Shamanism Closed Practices

Indigenous Practices

Polynesian Practices

Santeria

Voodoo

Rastafarianism

Nahua

Sami

African Tribal Religions

Claiming Witches Must Be Wiccan

Many of the sources that you find will probably be based on Wicca. Although not all Wiccans push Wicca onto Witchlings, there are some narcissistic Wiccans who will tell you that to be a true witch you must be Wiccan. This is not true. If you do not vibe with Wicca, then it simply isn’t for you. There are many other paths to choose from. The threefold law and the rest of the Wiccan Rede may not vibe with you. That is okay. Wicca is not for everybody and it is not the only valid path for a witch.

Claiming Only Women Can Be Witches Men can be witches, too. No, they don’t have to refer to themselves as “warlocks”. As far as most witches are concerned, Witch is a gender-neutral term. If anybody tells you men cannot be witches, chances are they are a misandrist. Don’t listen to them. Claiming You Must Work With Some Sort Of Entity Listen carefully. Whether it is deities, the fae or any other type of spirit, you must understand that working with any type of entity requires a certain level of responsibility and knowledge. There are trickster spirits and other negative entities that would love to jump at the opportunity of taking advantage of a Witchling who does not know what they are doing. You can get hurt if you do not know what you are dealing with. Do not attempt to work with any entities until you have learned the bare basics that I mentioned earlier. With that being said, working with entities of any kind is not a requirement to be a witch. That is a matter of belief and personal preference. There are some witches who are agnostic or atheist, and that is okay. Do not force yourself to work with entities if you know you do not want to. Claiming You Must Learn Some Form Of Divination This one may be against popular belief, but truth be told you do not have to practice divination. Although divination has its benefits, some witches just don’t vibe with using pendulums, runes, tarot or any other divination tool. That is perfectly fine.

Claiming You Must Celebrate The Sabbats You may have already discovered the Wheel of the Year, but if you have not then all you need to know is it tells of the holidays that many witches celebrate. Yule, Imbolc, Ostara, Beltane, Litha, Lughnasadh / Lammas, Mabon and Samhain. You do not have to celebrate these to be a witch. It is all a matter of personal preference.

Claiming You Must Identify As A “Type” Of Witch

Green Witch, Kitchen Witch, Eclectic Witch, Grey Witch, etc… Does not matter. These types of labels only exist to give people a sense of structure. You do not have to label your path. You are a witch. That is all that matters. Claiming You Must Do Shadow Work Listen carefully. Shadow Work isn’t a witch thing. It is a psychological thing. If you don’t understand this, look up Carl Jung and his theories. Shadow Work, although beneficial in many ways, can be difficult on a person who has experienced severe traumas. If you know that your traumas are very triggering for you, please avoid doing Shadow Work unless you are in the presence of a medical or psychological professional.

These are just a few red flags that you should look out for when doing research. Understand that not all people and resources are trustworthy and you have to be able to decipher what resources are reliable. There are many egotistical witches, , poorly written books and bad information across the internet.
