✨Incorrect Witcher✨

Jaskier: "What's your biggest weakness?"

Geralt: "I can be uncooperative."

Y/N: "Can you give us an example?"

Geralt: "No."

You: Being a witch must be so ethereal and so dangerous. I imagine you walking in the woods, naked, after sunset, eating only the dew off the ferns. Exquisite. Divine. Otherworldly.

Me: There’s literally a bread holiday, Susan.

This is your reminder to put some water outside for birds, squirrels and other small animals in summer!

In summer it can be very hard for them to find something to drink, so please put either a flat plant saucer or (if the bowl/pot you put is deeper) place a big stone inside or next to it, so they can reach the water safely.

Thank you ❤️

“Beekeepers are careful to tell their bees everything important that concerns the family and household–births, marriages, deaths, a new set of curtains, and suchlike. But that’s not superstition, just the practical observation that if you don’t tell them, they will fly indoors to find out for themselves.”

— Terry Pratchett and Jacqueline Simpson, The Folklore of Discworld (via catmint1)

“Always throw spilled salt over your left shoulder. Keep rosemary by your garden gate. Add pepper to your mashed potatoes. Plant roses and lavender, for luck. Fall in love whenever you can.””

ok but seriously why is “much older internet friend uses you as their personal suicide hotline” such a universal experience for kids on the internet. fyi for any kids/teens following me if an adult tries to make you be their therapist just flat out block them you dont have to explain yourself or try to reason with them and ur not responsible for their mental well-being. just block them

curseworm

you are all such fucking freaks i am literally an adult who experiences suicidal urges and being suicidal does not fucking entitle you to traumatize a child by making them responsible for your survival. i fucking KNOW you know better. call a suicide hotline, talk to a therapist, or talk to an ADULT FRIEND whos willing and able to support you! not a fucking CHILD

Louder please! Everyone deserves help but young people deserve to be protected from adults who project their suffering on them. Having a person much older than you rely on you for their mental health is one of the most damaging things you can do, let me tell you this from an experience I had to make myself when I was 14/15 years old. Do better.

Imbolc for the tired witch

After so many of you enjoyed the low-energy ways to celebrate Samhain and Yule, I have decided to continue this little series for everyone who just doesn’t have the energy or time for big celebrations and rituals. Remember that your path is exactly that: only yours. Your practice isn’t worth less or means less just because it might be different to the ways others are able to celebrate. Have a blessed Imbolc my dear friends. - Honey purifies and stands for beauty and prosperity, so you might want to stir an extra spoon in your morning tea or enjoy it on a nice piece of toast.

- Imbolc is a good time for beauty and selfcare magic and another way to benefit from the honey would be to mix it with some oats and milk and apply it as a face mask. Do something nice for yourself, maybe even draw some sigils onto yourself while applying it.

- Today we want to invoke the sun, brightness and happiness and invite them in our home. Citrus fruits represent just this. You might put some lemon in your water, snack on an orange or get yourself some sweet lemonade.

- Take a nice bath and try to use the time in there to reflect. What do you want in your life from this moment on? What brings you hapiness? A good idea would be bath additives with flowery or fresh scents, like lavender, roses or other flowers you enjoy.

- Imbolc is about celebrating light and the sun, so watching the sunrise would be a nice way to start the day. If you can’t make it up early, you might want to watch a video of a sunrise or light a nice candle to welcome the sun’s returning.

- Integrate flowers in your day. It can be something that takes a little more time like planting some flowers in nice pots or your garden, but it may also be as simple as wearing clothes with a floral pattern, apply nail stickers with flowers on them or wear any colorful jewelry that might remind you of flowers.

If you are panicking because you think you’ve missed Imbolc, it’s ok. While the 1st of February is the traditional date, the astrological date is always when the sun reaches 15° in the sign of Aquarius. This year, the astrological date is the 4th of February. So take a breath, and do what you can when you can. You haven’t missed anything.

I am proud to announce that every single man in my life will now be expected to live up to the standards that the respectable gentlemen of Bridgerton left me with. Good luck

Yule ideas for the exhausted witch

After so many of you enjoyed the post about low-energy ways to celebrate Samhain, it is time to share some ideas on how to celebrate Yule without too big of an effort. 2020 was a hard year and everyone deals differently with handling the crazy stuff this year threw at us. You are valid and your faith isn’t less important or less worthy because you can not spend the energy you might want to on the celebration of the solstice. A blessed Yule to all of you!

- As an easy charm for good luck: Tie some tiny bells to a ribbon and wind it around the handle of your door. Who ever enters will be cleansed of their negative energies and the sound of bells will invite prosperity and luck inside your home.

- Treat yourself to some sweets. Doesn’t matter if self-baked or store-bought, we’re talking of all the delicious treats of the season full of cinnamon (protection, luck), vanilla (friendship, passion), cloves (beauty, love) and ginger (energy, success). Yes, please!

- Give thanks and give back. You don’t need to volunteer for days to show your gratitude. Feed some birds, donate a bit to your local shelter if you have the money, small gestures matter!

- Who needs a big Yule tree? Get yourself some twigs (please don’t just break them off) from an evergreen and place them on your windowsill or inside a pretty vase.

- Solstices are turning points, times of change. Make a list (written or mental) and remember all the things you are grateful for that happened this year. Also note things that you want the new cycle to bring to your life. Keep the list close during the time of the solstice and burn/bury them at the end of The Twelve Nights.

- No energy to decorate your altar? Decorate yourself. Wear green, red, gold or silver colors and jewelry with rubies, garnet, jade, agate or rose quartz.

Have a blessed Yule and feel free to reblog and add to the list!

as a spoonie witch who often feels Big Guilt for “not doing enough witch stuff” for sabbats, I find this lovely and helpful. thank you💕

There is absolutely nothing to feel guilty about. Times are hard and I am sure your deities (if you worship any) will appreciate you showing your devotion in subtle ways more than having to see you be overwhelmed and exhausted. I wish you a blessed Yule!
