One person on tiktok found one of the people who 'hexed' the moon and now they're threatening to dox their address onto the internet. That same person was even implying that they'll go to their house to 'kick their ass' since they had said that the hexer doesn't live very far from their house.

"Bitch that moon is my friend I'll fuck you up"

Nearing the end of a long shift on the bridge, Chekhov turns to Sulu. “Are you an ass man… or a boob man?”

Sulu: I’m gay

Chekhov: I’ll rephrase. Are you an ass man… or a titty man.

Sulu: honestly? Titties.

Spock: *squints*

[marlinspirkhall]

Spock: I believe I understand. I am a titty man too.

[marlinspirkhall]

Someone just reblogged this and I’m so embarrassed, I thought this was one of those posts I conceptualised but never actually posted, and I just. Why?! What were you thinking, Marlin?!

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

reblogging bc marlin can’t unblog it

[barefootinthewilds]

Reblogging in solidarity with Marlin.

Because I do this with things I say in real life.

Anybody have any ideas on stuff I can add to water for a nice foot soak?

My feet are killing me

[willowofthehearth]

I’m partial to salts: Epsom, Himalayan, etc. Also magnesium flakes.

[whichwitchami]

I might have Epsom salts somewhere

[therestlesswitch]

Add some ginger or a teeny bit of cayenne to increase circulation (if your skin is okay with it) if they feel like the blood is just stagnant there and it feels more like a tired ache.

If it feels like inflammation, try some cooling herbs like lemon balm, peppermint, lavender, or chamomile✨

If your skin is dry and you want to help them hold moisture, use muscilaginous herbs like marshmallow leaf or root, mullein leaf, or if you can find it sustainably, slippery elm inner bark :)

Hope you feel some relief soon!

(Also seconding the sea salt and Epsom salts!though skip the sea salt if your skin is hecka dry)

[whichwitchami]

okay I definitely have some of these lying around. My feet are irritated/ achey from me spending a good hour and a half walking around my apartment without shoes while packing.

[therestlesswitch]

If it’s from moving around, your circulation is probably great and cooling might do you good. but heat does feel nice on an achy muscle. Feel free to mix it up! :)

My great grandmother is the first touch of wild to ever enflame my heart with ideas of adventure and freedom. Alvey Alice is a woman with silver curls and cutting eyes hidden behind lines that time and hardship have carved into her face, but never did anything take the strength in those deep brown pools so overflowing with loving wisdom.

If you were hungry at her house you weren't for long, be it for food or something to mend the heart.

The fruits of her labors were bountiful harvests, a well kept home, and a large family of children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren who all share the love of song and family. Every one of us has part of our heart at 'Gma's House'.

Today I got the call that broke my heart. See, someone wasn't careful and in some gutting twist of fate's knife my Gma got Covid last week, which turned into pneumonia.

Today they moved her from intensive care to a room for comfort measures. She's alert and awake, and more tired than the world ever made her. She sent me a message, to not be sad but to be happy for her and her peace.

I will try Gma. I wish I could hold your hand.

[barefootinthewilds]

Reblogging to update:

Alice left this world in her sleep. Before the end she said she dreamed her family who had gone on before her all were singing together and beckoning her to come join them.

She is who my skill for 'knowing' came from, the dreams of things to come. I hope I can be as brave and confident in where I will find myself after I leave this place, and comforted in the going, as she was. Her last message to me was that she loves me.

Loves. Not loved.

That kind of love doesn't die.

I miss you Gma.

Hi hi! I was wondering if your doing anything Sunday for all the planets visible in the sky? Any recommendations for something to prepare/ work on? Thank you lovely!! 💕

I honestly wasn’t even aware this was happening until I saw this ask, so thank you!

Five Planets Will Be Visible This Sunday Along with a Crescent Moon: How To See Them Without a Telescope

Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn are set to put on a show in the night sky this week; telescopes are not required.

Visible Planets Guide - When and Where to View (2020)

Are you an avid stargazer? If so, you probably want to know when you can see not just the stars but the visible planets in our Solar System

July 2020 guide to the bright planets | EarthSky.org

July 2020 offers you all 5 bright planets. Venus is that very bright object lighting the east before sunrise. After mid-July, find Mercury b

Honestly, I need to spend some time refreshing my knowledge on the planets, I feel pretty rusty!

I’ll research them over the next few days, then pull out my telescope and spend some time observing them. I probably will incorporate some magic/personal reflection in there as well, but I’m not sure how that will look since I haven’t started researching yet!

Would love to hear what others plans are for this event! It sounds like they’ll be visible for multiple days, not just on Sunday (July 19th).

Speaking of being a nerd when it comes to history and religion; being an occultist just makes everything so. much. better. It creates a completely different layer to it, another depth.

To approach these topics with the knowledge that it’s all real: that you can commune with the spirits you’re reading about - be it deceased magicians, biblical figures, or ancient deities. To know that they’re at the end of your fingertips if you decide to reach out; to know that when you pray and utter names, something is listening. 

For us it’s not something that’s gone and buried, it’s not just a fascination about things that are now dead, it’s not just words on a piece of paper and intriguing fairy tales -  it’s right there, here, and everywhere around us. It’s living and breathing and moving and watching. All of it, all of them.

Are curses bad? (Don't get me wrong, fuck Tom and may his lawn be forever covered in mint and your maple tree cost him thousands of dollars). But my sister is pagan(in a way that I suspect is bullshit. she calls herself pagan but "worships" quanyin, freya, and a bunch of goddesses from different cultures, and considers them all to be actively benevolent) and she said that curses will always "come back to you times three" and that "every version of paganism feels that way."

Ahhh, yes. The appropriative Wiccan in the wild. I’m familiar with their kind. And no, not every version of paganism feels that way, not even close, and we have FEELINGS about Wiccans speaking so for us. Those feelings can mostly be summed up as “Shut the fuck up and sit the fuck down”

I’ve no doubt curses work like that for Wiccans, because that’s how their belief system works. But wicca isn’t the end all of paganism or witchcraft. It isn’t even the beginning.

No, curses aren’t going to kick back like that, so long as you ward yourself properly. ANY magic can kick back in undesirable ways if you don’t take precautions, the same way a gun has recoil when you fire it, and the more powerful the gun the more recoil. But there is nothing inherently wrong with cursing or hexes. My gods cast a fair few themselves.

And if you don’t know how to protect yourself, you don’t need to be engaging in witchcraft in the first place.

i have a horrible misogynist rooster who only likes blonde hens so i always have to make sure i have 2-3 yellow hens around so he doesn't run anyone ragged. i didn't know this was a problem someone could have but i've had macklemore for eight slutty, slutty years and he's been overly obsessed with the blondness level of his lady friends for the entire time with no sign of slowing down so, like. props to him for sticking to his guns.

SIR, PLEASE,
