I was asked to go cleanse someone's home.

Their last house was haunted with violent and very negative spirits. And he didn't want to risk anything following him.

I for this cleaning I brought my EMF reader simply because I decided do. I have never used it in a cleansing before.

When I arrived at the home I did a simple walk-through with my EMF. It had an empty feeling, not good or bad. Except for two rooms. The bathroom whoch felt tense and emotionally stuffy, and the bedroom closet. In the closet my EMF spikes near an old wooden dresser. Owner informs me the dresser is from his old house.

I proceed to cleanse the space. Taking my time in the bathroom and closet and all around the dresser. I put up multiple protections and gift the owner a ward. I go through with my EMF no spikes.

After im done he tells me the only other furniture he owned from the old house is kept in the bathroom.

So far he has had no issues in his new home!

Solidarity between all religions, especially between those threatened by colonialism! Pagans, polytheists, and witches of all creeds unite for Palestine!

Share:

Prayers

Offerings

Protest posters

Spells

News

Donations

And other symbols of solidarity colored by your faith!

Never before in history had we the tools for everyone, all over the world, to resist genocide simultaneously and with such fierceness. Everything you do to keep eyes on Gaza counts. Every prayer, every action, it all amounts to something grander.

Keep talking about Israel’s genocidal, colonialist ‘war’ against Palestine. Keep praying. The divine are with us.

The best people in the spiritual community are the ones who are super tolerant about other peoples' practices. Like spirituality is very personal and complex so just because you personally don't understand it doesn't mean it's insane, and the best people you know will live by that.

Get yourself someone who doesn't question godspousing. Who's intrigued by you mixing practices, like Christopaganism or Hellenic Buddhism, instead of judging you. Who will look at a chaos magician practicing pop culture paganism and just go on with their day. We need spiritual folks who look at differences and just go

you'd think that "inhuman thing that isn't a person but speaks like a person and talking to it will slowly drive you mad" would only be found in folktales and fables and so on. but no. chatgpt

Believing in "silly" things makes my life way better

It's such a genuinely jovial experience to talk about cryptids and ghosts, because you know what, real or not it's something I find cool and enjoy hearing about

[vitterdotter]

no more divine feminine/masculine as repackaged gender roles, no more crystals to cure cancer, no more higher self instead of looking at yourself, no more starseeds, no more fear mongering around protection magic, no more calling toxicity "energy vampirism", no more applying new age terms to folk practices, no more anthropomorphizing spirits, no more

[senhordiabe]

I think contemporary witchcraft sort of sterilized spirit work. There's this view that spirits are wish granters and it often kinda lacks reciprocity but also the general idea that spirits can say no. Spirits aren't obligated to reveal their true nature to you. Spirits aren't obligated to give you everything. Spirits can also reject offerings and tell you what they want and bargain with you on pacts. They're autonomous beings and beings with a great deal more power than we, that's why we go to them.

[creature-wizard]

The reason people are told "mundane before magic" is so they remember to do things like check whether they've got mold or carbon monoxide in their house before they decide the problem is a malevolent spirit, find out whether their health problems have a treatable medical cause before deciding they're cursed, and make sure they have a mechanic check their car once they hear funny noises instead of just casting a safety spell on it and calling it good. People get hurt if they neglect the mundane.

Divination Drinks: Teas to Aid in Divining

Divination in all of its forms (tarot reading, tasseomancy; palmistry; pendulums, etc,.), can be quite exhausting and require large amounts of energy. These teas and tea blends will aid you in divining by enhancing your psychic power, and/or boosting your energy.

Tea Blends:

Psychic Tea (Scott Cunningham)

3 parts Rose Petals

1 part Cinnamon

2 parts Yarrow

Brew the tea, strain it and drink a cup before performing any form of divination as this tea enhances psychic awareness.

Tea for Divination (Moura)

1 tbsp China black tea

2 tbsp Lemon Balm

1 tbsp Rose Hips

1 tbsp Mugwort*

Brew the tea, strain it and drink either before divination or sip during/throughout.

Teas:

Jasmine Tea

Jasmine is said to induce prophetic dreams, which can aid in the growth of psychic power and psychic awareness making this tea a good choice of drink to be had before divining. 

Drink 1 cup of this naturally sweet and fragrant tea before sleeping the night before you wish to divine.

Vanilla Tea

You can brew your own or buy ready-made Vanilla tea/tea bags. Vanilla enhances psychic ability and allows the benefits of this enhancement to be better felt and absorbed. 

Drink Vanilla tea before and during any divination work to open yourself up and be more receptive.

Peppermint Tea

Peppermint tea heightens your psychic sensitivity, as well as working to clear the mind and sharpen focus. It can also be used to cleanse the mind and body of any negative energies beforehand.

This tea should be consumed before any psychic or divination based activities. 

Some Other Things to Consider:

Some herbal tea blends may not be to your taste but this can be remedied by adding honey to taste. 

Other herbs, such as Cinnamon, are used to add oomph to magick and can be added to tea blends and teas to do just that. If you don’t want to add pre-ground and grainy Cinnamon to your drinks, you can use a Cinnamon stick to stir instead. This will add the oomph you’re after without altering the taste too much.

If you want to make your brew even more potent, stir clockwise. This adds positive energy to your tea.

[* = This herb is harmful to pregnant or nursing women!]

What ive learned throughout my years of witchcraft is that my natural instinct is to work with air.

Air was my friend as a child and it makes me smile that still now I am drawn towards it.
