PLEASE REBLOG THIS WARNING

HEY GUYS

The new Venom movie has a scene with intense flashing lights (the lab entry scene) and I received no warnings and had to leave (just for that scene) as I am epileptic!!! PLEASE share this since I’ve seen NO warnings being shared and this is very important and can prevent people from having seizures etc during the film.

Tina Gong has the loveliest set of apps for anyone trying to get into tarot or similar forms of divination. There’s even an app(Labyrinthos Academy) that helps you memorize card meanings if you’re new to tarot! The apps are completely free and don’t have any ads(they’re developed with the money made from purchases of irl tarot decks, but don’t worry, you can use the digital decks even without buying a deck) and are absolutely stunning to use. Some of my favorite witchy apps is ever come across!!

My witchy iOS apps.

Wow! I’ve never gotten more than MAYBE 15 notes in my many years on tumblr. Thanks, witch fam!

UPDATED*** Here are some app links for @valicorne​ and others who requested. They should all be free. Some of these are also in the Android Marketplace, and for those that aren’t, there are comparable ones.

And my mom has a baller sigil making app on Android I envy: Sigil Automatron. Anyone know of a comparable one for iOS? (I don’t want just a paint or photoshop-like app, but one specific To making sigils)

Not all the full names show in the screenshotted app view, which is why some of you struggled to find them. Sorry!):

1. Tarot Card Memorizer: Pretty self explantaory. This is a nice reference when you’re trying to learn card meanings.

2. Pendulum Charts Free - a plethora of charts. I like using that on my iPad, not super useful on a smaller screen, aka my iPhone. Can also use to reference for making your own charts on paper, or woodburning like I’m working on.

3. Golden Thread Tarot - Really nice free eversion of great physical deck. Nice for witches on the go, or witches on a budget.

4. Crystals And Gems - Handy reference guide for both physical and metaphysical attributes.

5. Mighty Timer - temperature, time, and amount of tea you need for the perfect cup. Great kitchen witch app, especially if you grow some of your own herbs for tea, like I do.

6. TimePassages - Free daily horoscopes, meanings, planetary bodies glossary and then some paid options for chart downloads.

7. Herbs Guide - Herbs for health and cooking. ***never take any information found on the Internet or via apps as medical advice. Seek professional medical help if you have an issues. This witch is very pro-science and modern medicine, despite making teas, tinctures, and herbal salves. Those are merely supplements to help relieve symptoms.

8. Dreamboard - my favorite digital dream journal

9. Runes - pocket advisor - Get one, two and three rune readings. Also helps you learn the meanings of elder futhark runes. 10. SkyView Free -This overlays constellations and other astronomical information when you open the app and point it at the night sky. Uses your camera and GPS to know what it’s looking at. Works inside, too. I impress the heck out of people when I whip this out at stargazing events.

11. Best Essential Oils and Aromatherapy Guide Pro - This app, containing six broad sections - guides, application, single oil, oil blends, aromatherapy and weight loss. Again, this is not to be used in place of proper nutrition and medical attention, and be very careful when using essential oils. All need to be diluted with carrier oils, and some are dangerous if you’re pregnant, etc.

12. Spellcaster - tarot cards, horoscope and pre-written spells. Not my favorite, but fun to flip through.

13. Celeste -LOOOVE. Celeste allows you to calculate a natal chart, which you can view on a zodiac wheel. You also get a description of all the planets in signs, not just the sun sign.

14. Star Chart - This is similar to skyview. I haven’t played with it too much so I can’t vouch for it quite yet. I think I prefer the skyview interface.

15. Free Candle - Different candle options, and you cna blow them out. Great for on the go candle magick/meditation, and for those who aren’t allowed to use candles in apartments/dorms/etc.

16. The Pocket Pagan - “This unique Pagan app includes a map of the USA and Canada filled with Pagan, occult and New Age stores, a handy correspondence guide for quick magickal look-ups, and a calendar that shows you the next full moon and Sabbat dates. Quick links can help you find the latest news, blogs and videos too. One little widget shows the real-time moon phase too.”

17. Moon - current moon phase - Love this. Very simple interface for when you JUST want basic full, new, waxing, waning moon info.

18. Herbs in Magick - The application contains information about more than 200 herbs and their magickal use. No internet connection

Witchblr PSA on Saying “Hoodoo/Voodoo”

Let’s talk about “hoodoo/voodoo” for a sec…

I know yall mean well when you want to bring up Africana practices and don’t know how to refer to them so you say “hoodoo/voodoo,” but unfortunately there’s a lot of problems with saying this simple set of words.

It would be wonderful if Witchblr could make it a goal to remove “hoodoo/voodoo” as a phrase from its vocabulary forever.

Voodoo and hoodoo are NOT the same thing at all. When they are referred to as “voodoo/hoodoo” it makes it sound like they are completely interchangeable. I also see people using “hoodoo/voodoo” to basically refer to ALL practices, religions, and traditions of African origins. It’s just so wildly inaccurate and perpetuates misinformation that it makes my head spin, yet I see it all the time.

Hoodoo is an African American folk magic practice. It has African roots, but developed during slavery in the US. It’s not a religion, just a magic tradition. It’s 100% closed.

Voodoo should always be capitalized in spelling because it’s a religion. It has African roots, but also developed in the US, particularly Louisiana and New Orleans. It shares a lot of commonalities with the related religions of Vodou in Haiti and Vodun in West Africa. It’s semi-closed because it’s initiatory.

So as a white magic practitioner or witch or as a fellow POC who doesn’t practice these traditions, one thing you could do to support us is to say “Africana traditions” which means “all paths that come from Africa or the African diaspora” instead of reducing it to “hoodoo/voodoo” because it’s wrong on so many levels.

If you like and if it makes sense to say it for a specific context, you can also write “hoodoo and Voodoo” - the problem isn’t in referring to them, but in lumping them together with a slash or in using them to refer to all Africana traditions when they are just two of many.
