Into It (by HatCat Photography)
Hi witches I’m back again. Trying to kickstart my practice after being pretty lax for a long time.
(I AM REPOSTING THIS BECAUSE I LOVE HALLOWEEENNNNN FINALLY THAT TIME OF THE YEAR
The funny thing is that the town of Halloween celebrates Halloween year long so…
Again
IT’S THE MIDDLE OF JULY WHO PUT THIS ON MY DASH
I did!!
It’s July
That means we only have a little over two months to prepare!
IT IS NEARLY HERE! WE MUST HURRY
How I Teach Men Not To Talk Over Me: from one feminist to another, when basic respect is lagging and conversations are impossible
I’ve done this to several men, and they catch on rather quickly. You’ll be able to have a conversation right then and there, and it works long term too - they might’ve forgot their manners by the time you talk to them again, but by repeating this, they’ll eventually learn to let you talk without you having to do this at the start of every convo. Source: I have a very stubborn older brother, who eventually learned too.
1. When they interrupt you, stop talking. Don’t try to raise your voice or battle them. Be completely quiet and wait.
2. Ignore everything they’re saying. Do not actually listen - just wait until they shut up. Don’t make a point of anything they say, do not answer to anything they say, do not refer to anything they say here. Literally do not listen a single word. Let them rant as long as they want.
3. When they finally shut up and wait for your reaction, say: ”I wasn’t done talking.”
4. Start over whatever you were saying when they interrupted you. I don’t care if it was a 10-minute explanation of rocket science. Start. Over. Repeat you original thought, but do not add anything related to what they just said while talking over you. That gives them the idea that it’s okay to interrupt you, you’ll still listen and pay attention and they’ll get their point clear without having to listen to yours. (It’s especially funny when you get done and they expect you to keep going talking about whatever they talked over you. The face when it sinks in that you didn’t listen a single word is glorious.)
5. If they interrupt you again, return to step 1. If you find yourself repeating the cycle over 3 times, tell them: ”you’re not letting me speak. Either you listen and wait for your turn, or our conversation ends here.” If they try to make excuses, laugh it off or keep interrupting, end the conversation. Prove them that if they wont let you speak, they’re not worth your time.
Why does this work? First, because sometimes talking over is internalized and men don’t actually notice they’re doing it. Being vocally called out makes them realize it and pay attention to it - especially if it happens more than once. Secondly, by refusing to aknowledge anything they say when they interrupt you, they’ll soon realize they will not get their own point across if they keep doing that. Peoole and especially men have the need to be heard and paid attention to when they talk - when you make it clear that by talking over you, they will not have your attention, they’ll learn to wait until you’re done, because they know that’s when you will be paying attention and actually listening.
Go my darlings. Have some actual conversations where your point of view is just as valid as his. Demand the basic respect of being heard. You can actually have some interesting conversations with men when they’re forced to listen too, when being louder is not going to make them feel like they’re dominating the conversation or winning the argument.
This is gonna be fun.
I interrupt back. This Christmas:
Me: -explaining something-
Dude: you know what funny is that-
Me: you know what’s REALLY funny is you just interrupted me -continues with my explanation while he stews in shame-
Wtf is that? A storm elemental?
Ball lightning fuck me all the way up
Excuse me what the fuck is this
you literally captured whats called “ball lightning” which is the rarest form of lighting
its so rare that we dont even know how it forms other than by heat, static electricity, and humidity
storm elemental it is
look guys this is how nature-based deities and spirits come about this is ridiculous
Are you aware that the first-ever video footage of ball lightning outside a laboratory was taken in 2014 and there are only like 3 or 4 videos like this in existence and this might be the most close-up one
Fuck me up ball lightning is so cooooooool

for a rainy day ☁️💧
winter is here for the northern hemisphere!! that means rain and snow. here’s some witchy rainy day suggestions:
💚 put out a bowl or dish to collect rain water! not a jar (or at least a narrow mouthed jar) because they look artsy but it’s not gonna catch much. also, if you plan on drinking it, make sure that there’s not toxins in the rain in your area.
💚 make a cup of tea! it gets chilly where I live (no snow though rip me) so I like to make tea. if you want, it can also be an opprotunity to read your tea leaves.
💚 do some journaling or write in your grimorie
💚 meditate! the sound of the rain is super calming and nice for me and it’s always good to relax.
💚 light some candles! it can get sort of sad with no sunlight, and candles (I like scented ones lmao) are a calming alternative to other light sources
ladies and gentlemen we have officially reached the “in case a nuclear attack happens” phase……. [x]
This shit is wild.
There should be an amber alert or something to warn us, hopefully. But if you’re so close to the blast that the entire outside flashes white your first priority is to get underneath the blastwave any way you can.
After that you have 2 options: drive away or protect yourself from the radiation.
Option one is tough because literally everybody else is going to want to do this, and you could get stuck right in the fallout. And lemme tell you, if you’re stuck out there when the ashes first fall for more than 15 minutes, you’re dead. Radiation poisoning.
Option two is harder, but has a better success rate. Get underground. Most houses have a crawlspace, but in this bad time just saw a fucking hole in your floor. Put table over hole. Pack some large containers (like tubs), with dirt, tight, and stack them on your table or wherever you’re going to be directly underneath. you need 36 inches if dirt to be protected from the radiation poisoning. You could preemptively buy lead and stick that in a container with a lot of serface area, i forget how many inches you need vertically.
How ever much serface area the dirt/metal/lead covers is how much you and your party will be able to move around. As long as there’s enough inches vertically you’ll be good so long as you stay under it.
You gotta stay under there for at least 2 weeks, 3 to be sure.
Also, if you can see the mushroom cloud, stick your arm out as far as you can. Do a thumbs-up and close one eye. If your thumb is bigger than the cloud, you are safe. If the cloud is bigger or the same size as your thumb, then that means you are in the radiation zone and should evacuate immediately.
I cannot believe I actually have to freaking reblog this but here y'all go just in case
Take a break from the humor for just a second and read this.
Sorry, what year is this again??

reblog this make cis people mad that im “ruining their childhood”
stable clone of him was a younger girl named danni
the series is literally about him keeping his identity a secret from his parents, believing that if they found out they’d stop loving him as their child and even kill him.
said identity is only known by his closest friends and others in the “community”.
After his college-age sister accidentally walks in on him altering his appearance and thereby learns his identity, she becomes clumsily obsessed with protecting him and being an ally.
Sam was able to disguise herself as him effortlessly.

me: shit man, you can stay but don't be spinning my head like an owl and shit
★ Warding
White Light
I have mentioned using white light as a form of cleansing. This is the most common method I use because it is the most easiest one to accomplish for me at least. This white light is also good for empaths or those who struggle with negative energies.
Visualization steps:
Sit down and make yourself comfortable. You don’t want to be distracted by any means. You need to pour all your focus in this. Relax and take a few deep breaths.
Visualize a white light surrounding you. Imagine that you are engulfed with this white light. That it’s bright and protecting. It’s keeping you safe and sound.
Set an intention. Tell this white light to expel all the negative energies and only to allow positive energies. You may also ask trusted spirits and guides to help set this intention of positive energy.
Side Notes:
Placing it on people, places, and items. You can also create a white light around people, places, and items. For added protection, I always place the white light around my house. It provides more protection!
When moving through the astral plane. I normally use a door method to move from plane to plane. As I open this door, I get flooded by white light as a method to cleanse and recharge the shield of white light.
Deities, trusted spirits, etc.
I know that a bunch of you have trusted spirits and/or are following deities. These trusted spirits only want to help you and you should never feel embarrassed for asking for help!
Ask some of them to stay behind with your physical body. Sometimes the shields you place up may fail, so it’s always good to have some of these spirits around to help defend you against negative energies from harming your physical body.
Ask some of them to go with you. Protecting your astral body is just as important as protecting your physical body. You don’t want damage to your astral body, it is disorienting.
Sigils and Symbols.
Sigils are protective symbols and are great for shielding! Sigils are great to bring in positive energy and get rid or keep out negative energy.
Steps to applying sigils:
Choose or make a sigil. You don’t have to create your own sigil for it to work. You can find one online. Pentagrams also work and are considered to be a symbol of protection!
Draw these symbols/sigils over doors, windows, and mirrors. You can draw these symbols with some water and salt or just by using your finger. You can also draw the symbol and place it up physically on the windows/doors/mirrors. You can even print it and place it up. It’s all about the intention.
As you draw or put up the symbols, set the intention. Just like the white light method. Say that these symbols are used to repel negative energy and to bring in positive energy. To keep out harmful spirits and beings.
Chants.
Chants are very powerful in placing the intention of positive energy in a room.
You can use chants. Chants are very powerful ways to protect you. You can create your own chant/spell or find one online.
You can use your chants in every room. You can go into all the rooms and chant it. The more rooms you chant, the better the warding. You can even chant to specific items.
Spells
Spells are a powerful way of keeping out negative energies. I actually found a masterpost based on shielding that you guys can use.
