Now available on the Nerd and Tie Podcast Network and your favorite podcast app!

Returning once more to the topic of protection magic, this month we’re delving a little deeper into the topic of wards and warding. Bree shares some insight on the methods and concepts that she’s developed and discovered over the years, and shares a Witchcraft 201 level primer on some slightly more advanced warding techniques.

(If you haven’t heard Ep. 024, “Warding A Witchy Home,” make sure you check that out before listening to this episode!)

A partial transcript of this episode is available on my Wordpress.

Visit the⁠ Willow Wings Witch Shop⁠ at its new address and check out this month’s featured items! Make sure you also visit the⁠ Redbubble⁠ page for even more cool merch.

Straw Into Gold - A Spell to Bring Wealth

The little man took the necklace, seated himself before the wheel, and whirr, whirr, whirr! three times round and the bobbin was full; then he took up another, and whirr, whirr, whirr! three times round, and that was full; and so he went on till the morning, when all the straw had been spun, and all the bobbins were full of gold.

-Rumpelstiltskin

Intent: To bring wealth to the caster.

Ideal Timing: Waxing or Full Moon

Materials:

  • Small glass jar
  • Empty thread bobbins or spools
  • Yellow or golden embroidery floss
  • Green or gold chime candle
  • Optional: Amber or orange oil

Most sewing or craft stores will sell empty spools or bobbins for sewing machines. Acquire three such spools or bobbins and enough yellow embroidery floss or sport-weight yarn to fill them.

After sundown, light a candle (yellow or green is ideal, but white works also) and sit down with the bobbins and floss. Focus on the candle flame and think of the way in which you would like money to come into your life.

Once you have the idea firmly in mind, begin winding the floss slowly around the bobbin and continue until it is full. Repeat until you have filled all three bobbins, then blow out the candle.

Anoint the three bobbins with orange or amber oil. Place them into a small jar and leave it somewhere it will not be disturbed. If the desired wealth does not come into your life within three months, or if you need more money, repeat the spell and add the three new bobbins to the jar.

If u want to write a story about a character that’s just you but hotter with a dark twisted backstory and magical powers and a pet falcon or something, I think u should just go ahead and do that. Who’s gonna stop you? The government?? Fuck the police.

What if someone barges in, points at said character and scream, “Mary Sue!”

Tell them to come back with a warrant

These adorable little charms are pocket-sized and perfect for augmenting or carrying spells related to confidence, eloquence, beauty, appearance, or presentation. Show the world the face you want it to see, draw every eye in the room, or go utterly unnoticed if you choose.

And there are lots more types to choose from! Each charm contains a unique blend of crystal chips and dried plants designed to amplify a particular intention, plus a tiny spark of magical potential to get things started. They come in over a dozen varieties with a little something for everyone, and at the low price of $5.00 USD, you can collect them all! They also make great gifts for the special witchy someone in your life or any of your near-and-dear who love tiny shiny charms.

(Varieties pictured above are Glamour, Empowerment, Happiness, and Confidence.)

there’s a website where you put in two musicians/artists and it makes a playlist that slowly transitions from one musician’s style of music to the other’s

This is actually really useful for finding music that’s in between genres that I wouldn’t know to look for.

This has nothing to do with books but it’s COOL

I feel like this could be useful for trying to slowly pull yourself away from your depression music to something more uplifting without it being jarring…

What's that bro? You began interacting with a media from a different country than yours and/or was made in time period different than the recent present day? Haha that's sick bro! Keep expanding your horizons bro! You're remembering to take into account that sociocultural norms, gender roles and genre expectations are different from what you are used to and meeting the story halfway, instead of forcibly superimposing your ideals into the story, right bro? Right? Right?

And, like, you're aware that being asked to understand that the story was written in a time and place with different values isn't the same as being ordered to embrace or worship those values, right? You get that you can simultaneously comprehend why those values exist within this media and think critically about how it contrasts with your own view of the world? You can hold both "I understand why this culture at this time would have acted like this was okay" and "I understand now that this isn't okay" in your mind at the same time?

a few reminders because i’m tired and angry

  • fandom is a hobby, not a form of activism
  • adult women aren’t inherently creepy for being in fandom and having hobbies apart from raising babies and doing taxes
  • the vast majority of people pushing back against the worrying trend of instigating harassment over fictional characters and relationships aren’t incest supporters or pedophiles, actually
  • liking a m/f ship doesn’t make someone a dirty heterosexual invading your space
  • preferring gay ships doesn’t make you ‘’woke’’ and good
  • no one owes you a disclaimer that they are a good person who recognizes that their favorite fictional villain’s actions are evil and that they don’t condone those actions irl
  • liking a fictional villain is in no way comparable to advocating abuse/murder/genocide/etc and you’re a fucking idiot if you believe that
  • just because a woman is attracted to a fictional villain doesn’t mean she’s promoting toxic relationships or going to end up in a toxic relationship. assuming women can’t tell fiction and reality apart stinks of internalized misogyny 
  • some rando’s a/b/o fanfics have none of the level of influence that popular tv shows and movies spreading propaganda have
  • no one owes you a detailed description of their traumas and mental health problems
  • abusive relationships are not the same as enemies to lovers ships
  • y’all need to chill the fuck out over people, relationships, actions and events that don’t actually exist and learn how to enjoy and discuss them like normal people
  • fandom is a hobby, not a form of activism
