Magick, my friend

Tattoo artist: Do you take some kind of pain suppressant before coming in?

Me: No. Why?

TA: Because this piece has taken a total of nearly nine hours and you never move.

Me: (That’s cause: Magick, my friend.)

[zackshahpoet]

Skin be steel flesh be stone Nerves be strong, as gem or bone Let pain be but kisses, or breaths of air Magic be my armour, for i will not bear Neither the sufferings of the dead or the agonies of hell Runes of blood, now serve me well

[craftofthewitch]

^^ I love this. 

The purpose of this tattoo was specific, so I use hours of mantra repitions:  

I accept this pain into my spirit,  So that it may wash away the pains of my sins. Seeping blood wash away the old, And bring in the new;

With this pain, I birth the guardian I summon.  He will protect me from others and from my vices.  He will watch the gates of my past, and let none return. He will be Ronan, and he will rise from my flesh. 

I offer this pain in bloody sacrifice. Give power to my hero and guardian. Let rise the Witch within..

And let the new life begin.

To all my fellow Tumblr users, I love you and I'm very proud of you for making it through this year.

I'm tired of surface level magick.

Give me substance. Witchcraft isn't just spell jars, trinkets and herbal baths and teas. Magick is real. It's potent, tangible, visible. It's thick, and it surrounds us and it speaks. It's malleable in your hands, it's creatures and spirits and Fae. It's experiences that most people would never believe. There is absolutely so much more in this world right under the surface; you know what I'm talking about. Give me substance, not recipes. Tell me about

Real magick.

i would like the moss to consume me.

[ashesforeverashes]

I'm starting to get over you.

Maybe I'll try changing too.

My grandma told me every time you move the clasp of a necklace from the front of your neck to the back, you should make a wish. I’m now using this as a small day to day spell

[ohthewitchery-blog]

I love this! I had heard this from a friend’s mom when I was young, but I didn’t know it was actually a thing!

@ the tumblr witch community

STOP PROMOTING CURSES. Magic should never be used to harm others. Period point blank. I don’t know why I have to say that in the first place. Bringing that much negative energy into your craft and into your life will only hurt you.

[daemonrot]

I’m gonna be kind to you bc you’re clearly new.

You have no right to police how people handle their business.

Magic has always been used to defend the defenseless. 

Not every witch is Wiccan

Morality is relative with this. One person’s blessing is another’s curse. 

again, it’s none of your business

[darkfyretheumbrawitch-deactivat]

Thank you @stormywitch

No one has a right to dictate how a witch practices

[darkfyretheumbrawitch-deactivat]

Saw this come around again and will always reblog :)

“I do not lose the game"

@ashesforeverashes I hate you :c

This is such a redundant sigil, it’s not gonna work, just telling you now xD

[ashesforeverashes]

@thesigilwitch , glad to see you're back ❤

I went ahead and made a cleaner image for the new spread, I like how it turned out. I had to switch two of the positions with each other because it made more sense this way. Anyhow, on with the explanation:

- Place the Sun card in the center

- Position 1: Your self in the light or parts of yourself that you see often

- Position 2: Your self in the shadows or parts of yourself you don’t use much

- Position 3: What you seek at the moment

- Position 4: What you have left behind

- Position 5: What you need at the moment

- Position 6: What to let go of now

- Position 7: The path you will soon take

- Position 8: Your deepest heart brought to light

So there it is! An image, a description…everything you need in order to Read The Sun and learn more about yourself! Let me know if you use this spread, I’d be very curious to see if it worked well for anyone else. I tried it out and it worked out pretty nicely, things seemed accurate and helpful.

Thinking of making these for the other major arcana as well, any advice?

Celebrate Mabon!

hey everyone! I really want to continue my Celebrate …! series, so even though it’s currently Mabon today I thought I’d still make a Celebrate Mabon! post. Apologies for the delay, but I just moved back to university this week and things have been hectic to say the least! These Celebrate …! posts give a basic overview of each of the Sabbats as they come along. I know quite a few people do this on tumblr, but I hope that my personal take on each of the Sabbats can be helpful and interesting to some of you.

Mabon, or the Autumn Equinox, is the second harvest festival on the wheel of the year. It is celebrated on the Autumn Equinox, around the 21st September in the Northern Hemisphere - or the 21st March in the Southern Hemisphere. The main themes of Mabon are celebrating the harvest, thanks-giving, and noticing the equal and balanced nature of light and dark during this time. 

Mabon marks the first day of autumn, and after today the nights will grow longer and colder. It is the seperation point between the two halves of the year. The name Mabon refers to a figure from Welsh mythology and Arthurian legend, Mabon ap Modron. Autumn Equinox was given the name Mabon by Aiden Kelly in 1970. 

Because Mabon marks the descent into autumn and colder weather, now is a brilliant time for spells with the themes of self-reflection, thanks-giving, altruism, balancing and grounding. 

Simple things to do on Mabon:

Take time to pause and reflect on the year so far, write down what things have gone well, what things were disappointing, and what you can learn from each event

Perform a simple thanks-giving ritual 

Think of those who are in need and have less than you, in what ways - practical and spiritual - can you help?

Perform balancing and grounding spells 

Perform family focused magic

Decorate your altar or workspace with autumn leaves, conkers and acorns 

Cook with warming spices such as cinnamon, as well as apples, pumpkins, squash

The use of red, brown and gold colours

Spending time with family, cooking a family meal

Use of amber, tigers eye, citrine, yellow aventurine 

“When autumn gathers, the tree that the leaves sang, reddens dark slowly, then, suddenly free, turns like a key, opening air where they hang.” - Annie Finch

[karrakazz]

not sure if this will make sense to anyone besides me but: the antidote to negativity is not positivity, its warmth

[karrakazz]

positivity tells a sad person that there is no reason to be sad. warmth asks the sad person if they want to go get some ice cream

The Fae Agenda

This was written tongue in cheek.  Maybe

the Fae Agenda revealed: 1. normalize selling teeth to make kids think dealing with the fey is fun and lucrative 2. slowly convince humans to replace steel with alternative metals until steel and iron become very hard to find 3. flood entertainment media with images of fey folk as twee, harmless, and helpful to get people off guard (phase 2 sexualize all of it) 4. normalize fey portals and traps including swirling coloured water, glittering air, free samples, and fairy doors. 5. World domination

The very first thing I put in my grimoire was a sigil to keep it hidden, pasted a picture over said sigil, and promptly lost my grimoire for a week.

Become inspired again in your craft!

Not going to lie these past few months have been hard for me to get through, staying in touch with my spiritual side and witchcraft journey has been a struggle, but recently I found my inspiration to continue on with it, I also get asked this questions a lot so here’s some ways I found useful to reconnect with my magickal abilities

The tips:

• Look at some other witches blogs/instagrams/YouTube channels: this really helped me realise how much I loved it and wanted to really devote my time back into it

• look back on your old book of shadows: see how far you’ve come

• Go back to basics: work on meditation, grounding yourself and simple spells, work back up your spiritual journey there is nothing wrong with revisiting the stuff you already have learnt

• ask questions, read books, talk to someone: if you have been feeling lost about your craft research a bit, it might help clear your head and clear things up

• Use tarot cards, oracle cards, pendulums and more: ask your guides for their guidance and for them to help re-inspire you

• sit out in nature: You night just need to have some well overdue time with Mother Earth. Just you and her sitting outside meditating and clearing your head

• decorate your house: re furnishing your house to fit you better with newer things to help inspire your witchcraft will get you excited to start working on it, like furniture and new witchcraft supplies

• look at some witch memes: hey it might not be the most productive thing but taking time to laugh at witchy things you can relate to you will boost your happiness and inspiration

I hope some of these helped, any further questions? Message me or send in a question! 🖤🌙
