Hello! I just have a question; for your "ULTIMATE Witchy Masterpost of Masterposts", are you supposed to be able to click on the words to direct you to a page? I'm looking into witchcraft and I think the post would be a great place to start, but all I can find are the words that aren't links.
Some of the terms do have links to some helpful posts or examples of that type of witch, but for some of them I just couldn't locate anything helpful enough. If you are unable to find any resources on any specific terms, feel free to just ask me directly!

Protect a room cheat sheet for broke witches
1) place clear quartz chips in each corner of the room, quartz chips retail for 10cents each rather than $3-$4 per whole crystal. They’re just as effective.
2) Rosemary- it’s great for protection and acts as a memory booster as well. It’s very cheap all you have to do is sprinkle it in a sachet and rest it under your pillow for nightmares, or hang it in your doorway as a protection charm. Don’t have any sachets? Use a ziplock bag.
3) use your mind- when I still followed the Wiccan path a fellow sister taught me a visualisation technique to cleanse myself, and my surroundings. All I do is visualise strong misty waterfalls washing everything clean, some people may feel more comfortable visualising a wind storm or fire burning away negativity. Point is spend time perfecting this technique, it’s relaxing, it works and it’s free.
I was in the broom closet for five years, and I can tell you I got very crafty at practicing my craft. Nearly a decade later I still use some of these techniques, because they’re cost effective and they work even if it’s not necessarily pretty.
