I HIGHLY recommend this book for spirit workers or anyone interested in spirit work!
Here's a few things that the author goes over
Working with local spirits (water spirits, spirits of trees, etc)
Methods of talking to spirits
Spiritual dreams
Manifestation
Prayers and spells
Respecting spirits while also maintaining authority over them
Those are just some of the things I read so far, and I'm only halfway through!
“Apollo”
Use this sigil in representation of Apollo or in your workings involving Apollo.
I personally recommend leaving offerings for him on top of this sigil left out in the sunlight.
Why is no one talking about this book? It’s literally a bible for baby witches and nice book to recall information, the amount of good stuff that this book contains is incredible.
(Read at your own risk, I recommend researching the authors before buying or downloading if you don't want to support their work. Take the information in this book with a grain of salt and double check with another source you trust)
greek god aes (½)
- apollon/apollo, god of sun and light, music and poetry, healing and plagues, prophecy and knowledge, order and beauty, archery and agriculture.
- hephaestus, god of blacksmiths, metalworking, carpenters, craftsmen, artisans, sculptors, metallurgy, fire et volcanos.
- hermes, god of trade, wealth, luck, fertility, animal husbandry, sleep, language, thieves, and travel.
- dionysus, god of the grape-harvest, winemaking and wine, of fertility, orchards and fruit, vegetation, insanity, ritual madness, religious ecstasy, festivity and theatre.

Devotional Acts For My Deities 8/31/21
Apollo
Did my laundry
Took out the garage
Took a shower
Pulled a couple of cards from an oracle deck (and made a post about it)
Listened to music while folding my laundry
Hermes
Found and gave him a penny
Kept in contact with some people
Dionysus
Spontaneously felt like wearing a dress SO I DID
Found a little trinket box with theatre masks on it and put it on his altar (keeping soda can tabs in it)
Started drawing something for him
Danced and sang along to some songs (thinking about making him a playlist)
~Shared some of my soda with them, offered them water and of course this post~
Time for some sins 🤧💖
“Dionysus”
A sigil to represent the patron deity Dionysus as the patron of the gender progressive. Keep this sigil on your altar and leave offerings of wine near it. Have this sigil with you when you go out partying Or keep this sigil somewhere personal to you
instead of wheel of the year im using wheel of witchblr discourse that makes the rounds every few months to tell time and figure out when to plant and harvest my crops.
my new sabbat list includes:
someone doesnt understand the 3fold law is only a wiccan thing and starts curse-shaming non-wiccans for cursing
the “blessed be” debacle happens again, creepy invasiveness be damned
people conflating wicca with witchcraft / gatekeeping other people’s crafts
cultural appropriation in droves so we have to bring out the afterschool special ^tm posts (special addition, appropriating person says “i was that race, but like,,in a past life”)
someone wants to shame people who like aesthetics, calls them “fluffy bunnies”
TEH BURNING TYMES WERE REAL AYE TELL YEA AND I SAW GOODY PROCTOR WITH TEH DEVIL
“witchcraft is only for cis womyn uwu✿ ” bullshit, sometimes even brought back by terfs that dont even practice witchcraft ??¿?
someone has a problem with other people using emoji spells, despite no one forcing this rando to use emoji spells.
“love spells are basically rape” discourse happens about the same as a blue moon
this shit happens like clockwork man im telling ya
This is perfect. Someone make the graphic.
ask and ye shall receive @magicianmew
I just laughed so hard I choked!
I need to print this off for both my grimoire, and a big ass poster on my wall that I can throw darts at like some kind of gatekeeping augury to figure out what the fuckery is that day.
Extremely City white people are so fucking weird they see a pic of a deer and theyre like “its an Old God, tell me the wisdom of the trees Forest Lord … wow this is just like game of thrones” its a deer. Its a fucking stupid idiot animal it doesnt know shit
Yes deer are dumb panicky dinguses in real life, but sometimes a picture will capture one looking all majestic and we just… want to believe…
Case in point: this dude
Yes he got like that by being so hormonally addled that he tried to fight a tree. But try to tell me a forest god wouldn’t have big leafy antlers just like that if he were to take a physical form.
who says the old gods aren’t stupid animals who are so hormonally addled they’d try to fight a tree
@librariansheart for your enjoyment
Look, I’ve lived a good chunk of my childhood in a halfway abandoned mountain village in the middle of nowhere. Which meant wildlife galore whether you liked it or not.
And that meant sometimes we saw a deer in the middle of the road at midnight and the majestic motherfucker just stared us down until my mom shredded our tires to stop from hitting him. Once we stopped he did a little half-bow as if saying ‘You have not committed an act of godslayer this night. Your bloodline shall bear no curse of mine’, and walked away chill as you please.
The next day a neighbor told us a deer with fucking big antlers got tangled in his fence because it was trying to steal his grapes.
I went on a hike with another neighbor to collect yarrow for tea. A bear came out of the woods towards us, went on its hind legs and inquiringly roared. And he pushed me, tiny as I was back then, behind me out of sight and spread his jacket wide to make himself seem bigger than he already was. He let out a sound I had not known humans were capable of making. He and the bear looked at each other for a moment, and came to an understanding. The bear went down and walked away, respecting a powerful opponent protecting its young.
A week ago, there had been a bear that completely tore apart our trashcan and gorged itself on half-fermented apples we threw away. My cousin had to chase it away, drunk out of its tiny fucking mind, with an umbrella that made weird noises when opened. The bear ran for its life, crashed into our wall, fell on its ass, and scampered away.
I was playing on a swing once, all alone, and a fox came up to me, the most beautiful animal I had seen in my ten years of life. Thinking it wanted to pass, I stopped swinging and sat still not to spook it. But instead of passing, the fox circled the swing, found it wanting, and came to sit before me perfectly poised and looked me in the eye, and I could swear it wished to tell me something but I could not understand the language spoken before human time.
Then my mom came out of the nearby inn, shrieked at the fox and swung her purse to chase it away. The fox jumped, ran off and fell into a ditch, all notions of grace gone with the wind.
What I’m saying is: the old gods are absolutely idiot animals who embraced the life of constant sex and hedonism in return for losing their higher power. Whether or not they regret it, we’ll never know.
@thegreenchapel
Well the Old Gods are old. In the same way your grandparents are old. They’re a font of experience and wisdom, they’ve survived wars, famine, poverty–but they’re thwarted by a smartphone. The Great Stag understands “car” in the same way he understands “challenger.” He understands “fence” in the same way he understands “brambles” or “underbrush.” He can handle plant fiber in his way but metal might be a bit beyond him. The Old Gods understand their ways. The Great Stag can can give you the wisdom of being a stag, but humans aren’t stags, so not all of his wisdom applies to our experience. If you promise not to hunt in his forest for a year and a day, he’ll show the trails his herd uses so that you can get out of the woods faster. Maybe you’ll keep that memory, maybe you won’t. If you do remember, you are responsible for being a stewart.
Some believe the Old Gods are living gods. There’s no one single Mother Bear. It’s a title that gets passed on. The beings are inhabited by divine force much older and deeper than any human can imagine. Picture a pebble being thrown into a pond. Each new incarnation is like a new ripple expanding outward. If the Old Gods are living beings then they are limited and falliable. They make mistakes and are prone to embarrassment. Like we all are. Instead of merely venerating them, sympathize with them.

BLACK SALT (also known as WITCH’S SALT) is used primarily for protection, banishing, and repelling.
Those uses aren’t exclusive—it has also been known to feature in baneful magics, and can be used in uncrossing rituals.
WAYS TO UTILISE BLACK SALT
To protect your property from negative spirits, people with ill-intent, unwanted visitors, and negative energy: sprinkle black salt around the perimeter of your property.
To both banish any residual icky energy that a person may have left in your home, and prevent them from returning: sprinkle black salt on the front step and sweep it away. If you’re feeling more traditional (and brave!) you can throw black salt at the back of someone that is leaving your home also.
To prevent nightmares: use in a sachet and keep beneath your pillow.
To repel negativity, unwanted visitors, and rumours/gossip: sprinkle generously across windowsills and doorways.
To cleanse your home and keep nasties from entering: add black salt to a floor wash and go ham on your floor. Focus especially on high traffic areas.
To undo a curse, hex, or other form of malignant magic that has been cast upon you: use in an uncrossing oil or powder. Learn more about uncrossing [here].
To alleviate any negative thoughts and feelings that you are carrying: add a pinch of black salt to your bath, or to an oil with a similar purpose that you anoint yourself with.
You do not have to look or present a certain way to be a 'real witch'.
Real witches are witches that study and practise witchcraft. It doesn't matter whether your favourite colour is black or pink. It doesn't matter what gender you identify as.
A witch, is a witch.
