It Always Bugged Me In The Logging Adventure Book How Cassie Freaks Out When They All Morph Ants, And

some ideas for non-verbal spell casting:

so i’m a pretty quiet person irl, and i find a lot of spellbooks and posts on here include verbalization in the form of incantations, mantras, et cetera.

which is all well and good if that works for you, whatever floats your boat and casts your spell; but what if you’re like me and verbalizations make you uncomfortable?

or you’re practicing late at night while your housemates are asleep?

or you just. prefer to not speak?

well, here are some alternatives!

say your incantation internally

visualize your incantation

make your incantation physical (could you add movement/gestures to your spell?)

make it symbolic (breaking something, binding something, burying it?)

use a noisemaker! (eg. a bell, clap, a song, note, chord, etc)

simply do without! not every spell or ritual needs a verbal component, and maybe you’re just not that kind of practitioner. that’s okay!

i’m sure there are tons of things that i’ve left off or forgotten, and i definitely want to hear more ideas if you have them!

wind be with you!

Witchy Tips: How to Make a Sea Altar

Craft stores supply many natural, sea-related items for you to use. However, if you live within a few hundred miles of the coastline, an annual “pilgrimage” to the shorelines to collect.

seagull feathers

sea shells

driftwood

dried seaweed

sea glass

loose sand

sandstone

pressed palm leaves

dried coconut

The difference between a sea themed table and a altar are the intentions and the energy you put into it. To make your altar start by pouring ocean water lightly over your altar to “refresh” the ocean energy, burn coconut incense to raise tropical vibrations, play “Sounds of the Ocean” soundtracks and meditate near your altar.

When using items for a spell try using sand in the color that matches your intention. If your a water sign, add your zodiac sign to a candle. Add a mermaid or a water goddess to it. Move the items around and or change them out as needed, do not let it get stagnant, it needs to flow just like the ocean and streams.

HIS DARK MATERIALS BOOK/SHOW SPOILERS

____________________________________________

Still processing how much they changed in the second episode!!!! I wonder whether the reveal about Lyra’s father so early will cheapen their later moments together? And how the appearance of a window (and that window, of all of them to reveal) will change that final moment with Asriel’s bridge in the North. Also, could that mean Will makes an appearance sooner than I could have ever expected? I almost hope that juxtaposing Lyra against someone like WIll could cause her spark to shine through a little more. Overall, not a bad episode, but shocking in the divergence from the book and made me wish even more for a more feral, fearless Lyra.
