BLESS YOU.

The sun is very unlike the other objects that I interact with in my daily life. Larger, for example

Are you ever taking a picture, and you’re like, let’s try a different angle, ‘cause that ancient nuclear explosion a million times the size of the earth is in the background. And it is, naturally, pretty bright

Decided to use my protection magic for something useful.

This emoji spell is for ALL those in the path of Hurricane Irma. In light of it being upgraded to a Catergory 5 this spell will send energy out to those whom are in its path. That energy will be used for protection and love. You all deserve support and have it from me.

Homemade Inks

One of the many ways for us artsy witches to use the natural world in our practice is by making our own inks. The act of collecting ingredients, creating the ink, filling it with your energy and intent, and using it in your craft is truly magical! You can add some special touches to your Grimoire, draw sigils, add to potions, create fabulous works of art, or just replace your chemical filled paint with a non-toxic, eco-friendly alternative that is safe for your kids!

Here are some base materials you can use to make inks and the color they generally make. Obviously there’s some variation with the final color depending on the material itself (more or less ripe and the inherent color variation between selections for example) but this will give you a general idea. Also note that the color of some materials can change over a period of time.

Experiment! This list is no where near exhaustive and there’s tons of combinations to explore. I will be posting about my process for making inks and providing some examples soon so stay tuned!

1 - action to take. this is what you will do that will be vital in attaining your goal.

2 - when to wait. when signs of this card present themself in life, you will know to hold back before moving to reach this goal.

3 - when to act. when signs of this card present themself in life, you will know to to begin moving towards this goal to complete it.   

4 - the goal. what the goal is, the true nature of the goal under its material nature

SELF-REFLECTION SPREAD

I mostly use tarot as a tool for personal introspection. Even people who don’t believe in divination of any kind can use tarot as an aid to explore different perspectives to a situation or even their own psyche. These are some things which I believe I need to confront about myself before achieving any real personal growth.

1. FIXATE

What are the parts of yourself or your life that you tend to get hung up about. Confronting yourself can be good, but overly obsessing on a particular problem or aspect of yourself can inhibit growth. 

2. IGNORE

Conversely, what do you tend to push to the side. This can go both ways: some are unable to see the good things in themselves or their lives, while others gloss over their faults and avoid addressing their problems. 

3. FALSE

What are the things we think to be true about ourselves, or our lives that are not. These are often negative qualities, a lot of people think they are less capable, less deserving or less worthy than they really are. 

4. DECIPHER

What about ourselves have we yet to understand. Everyone has some things about themselves which they don’t yet fully grasp or cannot quite put to words.

5. WANT

What do we most want from ourselves and our lives. The things we wish were more true about ourselves or that we aspire to be. This is a long process to achieve, and part of that is learning that we can’t just skip to this step, we need to deal with the other parts of ourselves too, including the undesirable parts, before we can achieve true personal growth.

Note: Tarot is not a substitute for professional counselling and other forms of licensed therapy! Feel free to use it as a complimentary practice (unless otherwise advised), but do not rely on it as your sole means of treatment if you believe you need professional counselling.

A bit of traditional witchcraft wisdom:

You are responsible for what you write, what information you put out there, what audience you give it to and to a limited extent what people do with it. If you put yourself out there as a witchcraft blog author, you are saying you are a leader with the capacity to teach and your lessons are something you are responsible for.

Unpopular opinion, but if you give out dangerous potion recipes or characterize witches as committing grave crimes, yes you are responsible for that image and the moral backlash that comes with it. There are common morals and common sense. And we are under the judgment of public opinion. Why are you responsible? Because people hold you responsible, spirits hold you responsible, even gods might hold you responsible. Whining about not wanting to be responsible won’t change that people will hold you responsible.

Sure cursing can be the resort of the hurt and abused and a form of rightful defense, but for goodness sakes you are not immune from public dissent when you are cursing people for petty reasons left and right because you are jerk and like bragging about it. Especially if your readers believe in magic then they believe you are actually harming people day and night for fun. That is yucky. And yes you do make the rest of us look bad and yes you are responsible for that. And yes there are real world consequences for an image of malefic people with a lack of wisdom and a drive to destroy.

A witch is actually responsible for their words and actions that is how society works. Freedom of speech gives you the right to speak, it does not free you from responsibility for your speech.

Enough out there wonder why they get attacked for saying awful things. You shouldn’t wonder.

The cure for this is simply wisdom, the providence of the witch or at least it should be in my unpopular opinion.

You’re fucking kidding me

A simple Sigil of Void.

This Sigil embodies the concept of void, how it is used must be defined by its user. Channel energies and intent through this Sigil to nullify unwanted thoughts or void out wrong answers. The void is the moment you are about to speak only to have your thought vanish.

Random Witchy Story Time

A few years ago I was at a museum that had some old grimoires and alchemy books on display and translations to the pages posted by them. My favorite grimoire page was a spell for rain where the person would go outside with a bucket of water and pour it onto the ground, then proceed to pretty much yell at the clouds about ‘see its not hard!’. To date that is my favorite rain spell I have ever seen.
