This is wonderful.

Wait, no because this is actually so useful for my autism witch brain that doesn’t always understand memes. I didn’t even think about the smoke in the “this is fine” meme.

#HAPPY GOOD FRIDAY

Wild rabbits eat belladonna on purpose as self-defense to poison predators. Wild rabbits who live in the same areas as belladonna’s natural growing range are immune to belladonna’s deadly alkaloids because they produce an enzyme called atropinesterase that breaks down the atropine in the belladonna they ingest. The darker the rabbit’s fur, the more poisonous it may be.

Infused Oils

How to infuse Oils

How to make herb-infused oil: 1. Prepare your jar. Make sure the jar is clean and very dry. Again, any water in the jar can lead to spoilage. 2. Fill the jar to the top with herbs. 3. Pour oil over the herbs slowly. Using a chopstick or knife, move the herbs around to make sure all air pockets are filled with oil. Add enough oil to completely cover all the herbs, filling right up to the brim of the jar. 4. Cover the jar, give it a few shakes, and put it in a cool place inside your house. Every now and then, give your jar a shake. It will be ready to use in 3-6 weeks. The jar may ooze or leak a little, so place it on a plate or towel. 5. Strain the oil into your storage bottles through a cloth-lined strainer. Give the herbs a final few squeezes to get the last of that herb-soaked goodness. 6. Cork and label your bottles. The oil should last at room temperature for up to a year; two years if you add a capsule or two of vitamin E, a natural preservative.

Herbal oils make lovely gifts and can be used as a massage oil or added to the bath. You can also turn herbal oils into soothing salves by warming 4-6 ounces of oil in a double boiler or a glass container set inside a pot of water on the stove. Gradually add about a cup of grated beeswax and stir until the mixture melts. Add a little vitamin E, then pour into clean, very dry tins or small jars.

Depending on the herbs you used, these can be helpful for itching and rashes and can make an ultra-moisturizing lip balm. Enjoy!

Roughskin - A Protective Glamour Spell

“Before I consent to your wish, I shall require three things - a dress as golden as the sun, another as silvery as the moon, and a third as glittering as the stars; and besides this, I shall require a mantle made of a thousand skins of rough fur sewn together, and every animal in the kingdom must give a piece of his skin toward it.”

[…] In the night, when every one slept, she rose and took from her jewel-case a gold ring, a gold spinning-wheel, and a golden hook. The three dresses of the sun, moon, and stars she folded in so small a parcel that they were placed in a walnut shell; then she put on the fur mantle, stained her face and hands black with walnut-juice, and committing herself to the care of Heaven, she left her home.

- The Princess in Disguise

—–

Intent: To protect and disguise oneself from those who mean to harm you.

Materials:

Empty walnut shell, in halves

A piece of your own hair or a nail clipping

Small patchwork cloth bag

Glue & rubber band

Herbs: Dogbane, Hyssop, Basil, Heather, Juniper Berries, Poppy Seeds

Ideal Timing: Full Moon, for protection, but can be performed anytime.

Obtain an empty walnut shell. You can use the shells off of the whole bagged walnuts that most grocery stores carry in the produce section. Try to crack the walnut so that the shell comes away in two halves. This makes reassembling it for the charm much easier.

Mix the following herbs together in small pinches:

Dogbane - for disguise

Hyssop - for warding off harm

Basil - for general protection

Heather Blossom - for warding off assault

Juniper Berries - for secret-keeping

Poppy Seeds - for invisibility

Carefully stuff the herb mixture into the two empty halves of the walnut. Use little dots of glue to help the herbs stay in place. At the very last, add a strand of your hair or a nail clipping. Line the edges of the shell with glue and carefully fit them back together. Wrap them with the rubber band to keep everything in place until the glue dries.

Once the charm is dry, place it in a patchwork cloth bag. You can purchase one or make it yourself. It only has to be large enough to hold the walnut.

Hold the bag between your palms and say:

I garb myself in many skins To keep harm out and safety in I place the truth within this shell Now guard my life and guard it well

You can either carry the bag with you whenever you feel you need protection, or you can hide the bag in a wooden box if one is available.

When to Consult Divination

You're stuck in the decision-making process and want help thinking through it from a different angle.

You need to sort out your thoughts. Divination is good for breaking out of a circular thought process and approaching it in a different way.

You want something to focus and reflect on for the coming day/month/chapter in your life.

You need a second opinion on something spiritual.

You want something to aid your planning process by suggesting steps and strategies

You want advice for how to tackle a situation.

When NOT to Consult Divination

You're fishing for a specific answer and just want something to validate you. Your bias WILL get in the way of the truth.

You want very specific details about a future that hasn't happened yet. (What will my husband be like? When will I meet him? How many kids will I have?)

You want to know what someone is thinking/feeling/hiding. Literally just communicate with them.

Asking if you should break up with someone. It's like Googling "am I gay quiz." If you're at this point you already know the answer.

[growing-yet-into-magic]

As appealing as the “you have always been a witch” narrative is, I think it does us all a little bit of a disservice. Yes, I think having an active imagination and being attached to spooky things made me witchcraft-inclined, but my choice to become a witch was just that: a choice. I made myself into a witch. I studied. I practiced. I made mistakes. I tried again. I think that the autonomy of claiming the work you put in is so much more to be proud of than the “potions” you made from mud in your backyard.

You are a witch because you made yourself into one. Isn’t that amazing? Aren’t you proud of the work you’ve done?

Bone Readings 101

A Brief Overview

Divination through bones (osseomancy) is a practice found in cultures all over the world! This naturally this means there are plenty of variations. I'll be speaking definitively for the purpose of this post, but this is just the way I was taught and you'll find talented readers with different approaches.

In my personal practice, bone readings are EXCLUSIVELY a form of Ancestral communication. You can ask them any questions you like, but that's who is answering. I think the nature of bones is fitting for that.

What's In A Bone Set?

Every bone set is hand-curated. Your set pieces (and their meanings) will always be unique to you personally; nobody can read on your bone set and you can't read on anyone else's. Just the way it goes.

Besides bones, many people also include trinkets and curios like dice, keys, small stones, charms, etc. Some sets won't even include real bones at all, though everything in the set is still called bones.

The associations for each bone are up to you. You're the only one reading with it, so do whatever feels right!

Pro Tip: Remember you're going to drop these, so make sure not to include anything too heavy or too brittle. I used to have a tiny geode in my set which cracked in half while reading for somebody else. It almost broke one of my other pieces too. Don't be like me.

Performing a Reading

Because bones are part of my Ancestral practice, I always start by cleansing the altar/my reading spot and giving an offering to my Ancestors to welcome them in (just something simple like water or incense.)

Create a landing space with boundaries. A cloth with a circle is popular. I use a rabbit skin.

Reach into your Bag O' Bones and cast them! Lots of variations here. Some people use their hand, others have something to scoop with. I don't let anyone outside of my family touch my bones directly. Do what feels right! Cast them onto your mat like you would with dice or runes. Pick up anything that lands out of bounds and put it back in the bag.

Examine the bones and how they've landed. Some people will have mats with different marked areas to cover certain topics! Consider the meanings of the bones, which bones they land close to (or on top of!), and the general "shape" of the spread. Often it will seem like it's moving in a certain direction. I personally think it's fine to pick up and remove any bones that aren't "talking" to you!

I understand that some people like to tell others ‘Blessed Be’, but please understand and respect that some people just don’t like that phrase and/or what its associated with. If you see that someone has reblogged this please do not tell them Blessed Be.
