basic ass witch tips 🔮
on some kind of medication, including but not limited to hormonal birth control, heart medication, and anti-depressants? you better double check with your doctor or pharmacist before you drink that new tea you just bought.
always, always, always tell your doctor or check with your pharmacist before trying any kind of herbal supplement, whether it’s something you made yourself or something you bought at the store.
have sensitive skin? dilute your essential oils before putting them anywhere near your skin or in your bathtub.
have a diagnosed medical condition? talk. to. your. doctor. before ingesting anything or putting anything on your body that you aren’t familiar with.
don’t. drink. essential. oils. essential oils are not consumable!!!!!
don’t put citrus oil on your skin and then go out into the sun unless you want a badass chemical burn.
don’t put any kind of damn essential oil on your skin without diluting it with a carrier oil. almond oil? olive oil? coconut oil? i don’t care. dilute your essential oils.
don’t put essential oils on your animals, diluted or not, point blank.
oh, and don’t put fucking crystals in their water bowls to “cleanse their chakras” or whatever the fuck.
speaking? of crystals? don’t put crystals in your bodily orifices. don’t put crystals in your own damn water. just don’t.
thinking about burning some kind of random herb in your house? you better make sure it’s not gonna release noxious fumes and murder your family.
speaking of random herbs - got the urge to forage for some herbs out in the wild? wear. fucking. gloves.
don’t burn incense or herbs around your pets. they have tiny, fragile respiratory systems and are super sensitive to that kinda shit.
gotta burn a candle down completely for a spell? you better not leave that shit unattended unless you want a house fire.
always. practice. fire. safety. that means, don’t go burning shit outside during a burn ban.
gods help me - if you wanna harvest your own blood via finger stick, stay away from dirty safety pins and needles and invest in some lancets.
drinking dirty water from outside can literally give you worms. boil your damn water.
oh yeah. moon water. everyone loves to make moon water. you know what happens when you leave a jar of water at room temperature? it stagnates and grows bacteria. refrigerate that shit.
fresh herbs or other things of that nature left at room temperature can also grow super harmful bacteria, for example, raw garlic submerged in oil at room temperature is a breeding ground for botulism and mold.

you know that feeling when you’re out in nature at 5 or 6am and everything’s still quiet and the air still smells like night time and it’s fresh so you shiver a bit but then slowly the first rays of sun peak over the edge of the earth and everything is bathed in foggy, golden light and you just stand there watching the earth awaken.. if that’s not soothing idk what is
btw all those posts that support religious mlm don’t just support christian/catholic mlm we’re here for muslim mlm, jewish mlm, hindu mlm, sikh mlm, if you consider yourself boy who likes boys and also consider yourself apart of any religion, i support you
A parent: say thank you
little baby: tank you :)

Some of you have never innocently and optimistically shuffled your tarot deck only to have the tower shoved in your face and it shows.

Historically Sacred Items/Offerings to each of the Ouranic Theoi! I made this for my Hellenic polytheism group on discord, so I thought I’d share this information with all of you as well.
All information has been taken from theoi.com as well as various historical books on the gods, and I have decided to make this powerpoint so that other people don’t have to sift through all the pdfs and books themselves.

“A person who thinks all the time, has nothing to think about except thoughts. So, they lose touch with reality, and lives in a world of illusions. By thoughts I mean specifically, chatter in the skull. Perpetual and compulsive repetition of words, of reckoning and calculating. I’m not saying thinking is bad. Like everything else, it’s useful in moderation. A good servant, but a bad master - and all so called civilized peoples have increasingly become crazy and self-destructive. Through excessive thinking, they have lost touch with reality. That’s to say, we confuse signs with the real world. Most of us would have rather money, than tangible wealth. And a great occasion is somehow spoiled for us unless photographed. And to read about it the next day in the newspaper, is oddly more fun for us than the original event. This is a disaster. For as a result of confusing the real world of nature with mere signs, we are destroying nature. We are so tied up in our minds that we’ve lost our senses. Time to wake up. What is reality? Obviously, no one can say because it isn’t words. It isn’t material, that’s just an idea. The point cannot be explained in words. I’m not trying to put you down. It’s an expression of you as you are. One must live. We need to survive to go on. We must go on.”
— Alan Watts

twin flame v.s soulmate
I’m back with another original most, wow! before I jump in, I just want to make it clear that these labels should not define or confine the relationships we encounter in our lives. at the end of the day, it doesn’t matter what type of soulmate someone is. these labels only exist in the 3d, they’re a way for our egos to organize and comprehend the experience. so don’t get too obsessed or freaked out over which label fits your connection! 🌟💗🌟
the main difference lies within the purpose of each connection.
our twin flame will come into our lives to be a catalyst for change and personal growth. they show up where we’re truly ready to step into our power but have been hesitating or holding back. they’re the push that forces us to uplevel our lives and become the person we’re meant to be. the twin flame connection is much more than a love connection! in some cases, our twin flame might not even be a love interest. a twin flame can be a friend, a sibling, or even a rival.
our soulmate comes into our lives to provide us with an external source of unconditional love and divine harmony. before we meet this person we usually have to have a strong sense of internal love before we can be a vibrational match for them. they’re our perfect vibrational match! everything feels light, airy, joyful, and peaceful when we’re around them. it’s less shocking than the twin flame energy. spiritually, our soulmates serve the purpose of raising our vibration and being the person we can be most authentic around.
how can you tell the difference?
the soulmate meeting will likely feel easy, free, and effortless. the twin flame meeting will likely be unexpected, tumultuous, and intense. twin flames usually come into our life when we’re unprepared while soulmates come in at the ‘perfect’ time when our vibration is hight.
your twin flame will likely be very similar to you but opposing at the same time. your soulmate will feel like they just ‘fit’.
there’s usually something keeping twin flames ‘apart’. in reality, we are all connected and never truly separated but twin flames tend to have barriers. either distance, age, religion, or third parties interfere during the relationship. this is a way of the universe ‘testing’ the relationship to see if both souls are willing.
your life will be completely uprooted during a twin flame connection.
which one is better?
- there’s a lot of stigma in the spiritual community that insinuates the idea of twin flames being more desirable than soulmates. I haaaattte this haha. both are incredibly important and valid connections! we decide, before incarnating, what we want to experience and we choose our relationships for a reason. every single connection we make is just as important than the last. not everyone is meant to have a twin flame. not everyone is meant to have a soulmate! and that’s perfectly okay! 💕💕
alright loves, that’s all I have for you! I’d love to hear your experience with these two relationships! 🌟🌟🌟
I wanted to make one of these for myself, so I decided to make some for other pagan gays too. Feel free to use them wherever, and it’s not rlly necessary to credit me but it’d be cool if you did

20 Tips to being a Safe Witch
Altar Safety
When burning anything always keep a glass of water near you, unless you are working with burning oils, then keep a fire extinguisher or baking soda on hand.
When working with essential oils(EO), do not burn them they are highly flammable
Never leave anything burning unattended, be it a burn bowl, candle, incense. DON’T LEAVE IT!
Please remove anything flammable such as paper or string from the candle, it will ignite and you will be alarmed.
Make sure that what you’re burning your candle in is fire safe, metal and cast iron are good bets. Do NOT burn in a glass, if you have to put it out and dump water on it, it will explode.
Make sure you tie back loose hair and don’t have any floppy sleeves or necklaces to get in the way.
When putting out a candle it is best to use a candle snuffer and do not use water.
Don’t burn kitchen sage, it gives off a toxic smoke. Not something you wanna inhale.
Essential Oil Safety
Please, please dilute them properly. I have a chemical burn scar I can never get rid of due to undiluted cinnamon bark oil. The proper dilution is one drop per teaspoon.
Never ingest EO, there are some that are now generally recognized as safe by the FDA, but the quality of EO are not regulated. Who knows what a bad quality EO could do to your internal organs, not something I wanna test.
Essential Oils are photosensitive, meaning they deteriorate in light store them in a dark area to prevent them from spoiling.
DO NOT put them near on your skin and get in the sun or a tanning bed, especially citrus oils, they will blister.
Water will not dilute essential oils, only other oils(canola, olive, sweet almond, olive will all dilute). If you want to use them in a bath it is one drop per a teaspoon of oil.
Please seek medical attention if anything seems off after using EO, they seem harmless but can be very dangerous
Pets can be very sensitive to essential oils(particularly cats) and it is almost impossible to cover all my bases here. The sources provided below have some great resources.
Always go by the scientific name, German and Roman chamomile are very different products.
Kitchen Magic Safety
Wear shoes if you’re doing anything, I nearly lost a toe the other day cause I dropped a knife. I got lucky I was wearing boots.
Wear correct clothing, and tie back hair. No matter if you have a gas, electric or induction stove, I’ve caught a lab coat sleeve on fire thanks to a torch while making a creme brulee.
Use your knives correctly, learn about the pinch grip and use the correct knife for the job. Using a paring knife for chopping potatoes is asking for trouble. There are tons of videos online, I like the ones from Alton Brown and Jamie Oliver.
As a side note use sharp knives, a blunt knife will do more damage than a sharp one.
Don’t leave knives in the sink, someone could begin to wash dishes and cut themselves.
Watch the steam. Steam can give a worse burn than dry heat, open pot lids away from you and don’t stick your face and phalanges in steam.
Don’t leave food products unattended.
Use your damn pot holders, they protect you and your counters.
Store raw meat on the lowest shelves, and never store cooked meat on the same shelf
Wash your hands before, wash your hands after handling raw meats, wash your hands after.
Don’t leave food that is meant to be cold or hot out for more than 2 hours, this is to decrease foodborne illness.
When using the store turn handles in, to keep yourself from bumping them off the stove.
Cook meats to proper temps(there is a chart in the sources)
If you are using herbs be sure to use kitchen grade herbs, those that are not kitchen grade are not held up to the same purity standards and could have more pesticide residue.
Herbal Safety
Please be aware a lot of herbs can work against prescription medications, or should only be taken in very specific doses( St. John’s Wort I’m looking at you.) Check in with your doctor or a licensed herbalist or naturopath before ingesting herbs.
Crystal Safety
Identify your crystals, some are water solvent some are not and it matters
Some that aren’t safe in water include malachite and selenite. They have copper and if aren’t sealed they can become toxic. There is no way to know for sure if it was sealed or not keep -ite crystals dry as a good rule of thumb.
Some crystals fade in sunlight like rose quartz, amethyst and citrine, in order to prevent fading try cleansing them with sound, flower petals, moonlight and energy.

Again, for the people in the back, Just because something is natural, Doesn’t make it /safe/
Essential oils are /not/ for consumption!
Valentine’s day witch
♡ dew tipped snowdrops and blushing crocuses, guided by persephone’s emerging gaze
♡ quiet aphrodisiac worship in silk slips and soft white lace
♡ love potions- dark, sweet wine and apple seeds, the scent of cloves and cinnamon perfuming soft skin
♡ frosted cake offerings, iced in sickly pink rosettes
♡ ritual baths with curling incense and rose quartz, silky petals and sea shells cradling pearls
♡ honeyed words, love dripping from whispered incantations and fleeting blessings
Aphrodite wants you to love your body! Your female body, your male body, your nonbinary body. Your body is a gift even if it doesn’t always feel like it and she sees you as beautiful. Her love is limitless and so let yourself be consumed by it.
“But love was always something heavy for me. Something I had to carry.”
— Benjamin Alire Sáenz, Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe (via the-book-diaries)
