I advise that you do meta magic. Not in dnd but like actually.

Do magic that helps you to do more magic.

Do magic that gets you motivated to do all of the other magic you've been meaning to do.

Do magic that gives you that extra burst of energy and ability to ignore your pain for long enough to do magic more often.

Do magic that creates a shortcut into doing other magic.

Do meta magic.

[therootwitch]

If you don’t want to use animal parts or curse or whatever in your magic, that’s fine, but don’t go telling other people they can’t. And don’t act like your way is the only way that has ever been.

I’ve seen so many authors (and so many people on here 👀) acting like magic that they personally don’t like just doesn’t exist.

Witchcraft has always used bones, fur, meat, and blood.

Witchcraft has always been used for personal gain.

Witchcraft has always been used to curse, hex, jinx, and cross.

Witchcraft has always used plants and herbs.

Witchcraft has always been used to heal.

Witchcraft can be used for good, for evil, or for neutral.

Do whatever you want with your magic, but don’t deny history.

❖ The Witch’s Crystal Index ❖

A–Z of Stones, Bones, and Sentient Vibes Locked in Rock Form

Full disclosure: I was into rocks before I found out my grandmother was pagan and had been quietly enchanting every mirror in her house since 1973. Geology was my original hyperfixation. This is my domain. It's my Final Fantasy class.

Welcome to the mineral multiverse. ⟡This is not your Pinterest crystal starter pack⟡ This is a chaotic, reverent, footnote-infested spiral into the literal bones of the earth.

We are not here to collect shiny things like feral magpies with a credit card. (I mean you could... I'm just not gonna tell you to) We are here to work with the stones. Listen to them. Cry a little. Possibly get hexed by an ancient fossil. (It happens)

This is a working index. Not sorted by market hype, influencer trends, or what TikTok thinks will cure your heartbreak. This is about presence. Lore. Spellcraft. The stories inside the stone.

Each post will include:

Ritual uses and energetic correspondences (aka what it’s good for besides looking like fancy jewelry)

Myth, magic, and elemental affinities (yes it’s shiny. yes it could also be ruled by death gods. we contain multitudes)

Traditional uses across cultures (history matters. folklore matters. the vibes are not enough)

Planetary rulership and magical properties (when Mars gets involved, wear gloves and don’t ask questions)

⚠︎ Toxicity and ritual safety (no seriously. do not lick the malachite. this is not a test. it will initiate the ER visit)

✥ Cultural and closed-tradition context (some stones are not yours to use. and that’s okay. respect is also magic)

This is not a collector’s guide. It’s a conversation. A weird, mineral-heavy alphabet of listening.

Some of these stones are buried in riverbeds. Some are carved into blades. Some are still resting in sacred places that should not be disturbed. Some are traded like secrets across centuries. All of them carry stories.

Follow the index from A to Z. One letter, and one witchy footnote at a time.

Each post is a touchstone. Literal and magical.

When the full index is complete, I can share deep-dive spreads for any crystals you want more detail on. Just send a request for the ones you're curious about. But for now...

A gentle reminder

Your practice doesn't have to be complicated. It doesn't have to be aesthetically pleasing. It doesn't have to involve expensive crystals, rare herbs you have to special order, or five, six, ten-card draws.

Your practice is not meant to wipe you out until you're completely broke: emotionally, physically, mentally, or financially. You are allowed to practice at your own pace, within your own allowances. All of these complicated, aesthetically pleasing, expensive rituals and spells you see on tiktok and instagram and tumblr are pretty to see and maybe fun to imagine doing, but it's okay if you just can't. It's okay if you don't have a pretty decanter for your moon water or fancy bottles for oils. It's okay, I promise!

Use dollar store herbs and spices. Recycle sauce jars as spell jars. Make moon water in a milk jug or bucket. Use birthday cake candles because they're cheap and quick-burning. Paint runes on your baked bread with melted butter instead of struggling to carve a rune into the store-bought dough. Draw runes with a white crayon on your white walls. Put a jar of garden dirt on your altar, if you have one. Do the easy things. Do the things that won't get ten thousand likes or retweets or reblogs.

What matters most is how you feel, how your craft reacts to you, and how you react to your craft. Just keep that in mind whenever you see a beautiful post and think wow, I wish I could do that. And remember, don't believe everything you see online - I know damn well that some of those aesthetic posts are just set-ups for likes and reblogs.

Be kind to yourself. Always. Even if no one or nothing else is kind to you, show yourself the kindness you need and deserve.

Kindness Witch Tips

Witch Tips for spreading acts of kindness.

Write sigils on the inside of wrapping paper before you wrap gifts for happiness, joy, health, etc. Hiding the sigils on the inside of the wrapped paper will charge them, and the paper being ripped open will activate them!

Bless passing ambulances and fire trucks with speed and safety for them, their patients, and destination.

Enchant money so that retail and low wage workers can have a better day when they serve you.

Enchant your spare change so that it gives luck to beggars you donate it to. They need it. 

Paint protection sigils in the misty windows of buses or shops when it rains, and leave words of encouragement and praise on public bathroom mirrors.

Leave coins or small bills in vending machines, laundromats, or parking meters. Whisper a blessing into them: "May this bring ease to whoever finds it." Money carries energy, it transfers luck.

Before giving a compliment, press your tongue to the roof of your mouth and think "let this land like honey". It gives your words extra sticking power, so they brighten someone's whole day.

Scatter flower or herb seeds in neglected patches of earth. As they grow, they bless anyone who sees or touches them.

Draw tiny sigils for love, luck, or safety in chalk on sidewalks, bus stops, or benches. They fade naturally but until then, every passerby gets a little dose of magic.

When lighting a candle at home, dedicate its glow to "anyone tonight who feels unseen, may they feel warmth." That intention radiates outward.

When in a library, bless a random book by tracing a sigil on its inside cover or whispering over its spine. Whoever reads it will receive extra clarity and inspiration.

Basil

Basil is more commonly referred to as witches herb or sweet basil in most books. It is one of the most universal and, argumentatively, most important herbs. In most things you come across, it’ll be mentioned or needed. Its definitely a good starting point for a garden or a herbal collection. Since it can be used in teas and foods, its uses are endless.

The planet associated with Basil is Mars, and it’s considered masculine.

Deities it represents:

Vishnu ~ Supreme god of hinduism.

Erzulie (Ezili) ~ Goddess of love and beauty in voodoo and is often seen in places such as Haiti and New Orleans.

Powers:

Love ~ In Italy, pot of basil on a balcony means that a women ready for suitors and in Romania, an act of passing basil to a lover represents an engagement. The scent of fresh basil is also used to smooth tempers between lovers. Often it is added to most sachets and incenses regarding love, and is considered a natural love perfume.

Exorcism ~ Basil is used during exorcism by grinding (or burning it) into ash and put on forehead of the one being exorcised. It can also be put into the nasal cavities if the person being exorcised is going into comatose, bringing them back into consciousness.

Wealth ~ It can bring forth wealth if carried in pockets. You can also put the leaves in your register or above the store’s door, which will bring in customers.

Flying ~ Witches used to brew half a cup of basil juice before riding their broomstick. Basil can also aid in astral travel.

Protection ~ Basil leaves (or crushed basil) can be put into pockets and sachets for protection, or can be ingested. You can also place it underneath your pillow for good dreams.

Magical Uses:

Basil is great for cleansing baths before spells and rituals, and is extremely helpful during skyclad. You can also burn it to purify energies in a room or area.

Medicinal Uses:

Sharpens memory

Strengthens nerves

Removes phlegm from bronchial tubes

Strengthens stomach

Anti-inflammatory 

Fevers ~ Basil leaves mixed with 2 cups water, sugar, and milk will help bring down the temperature. Every 2 to 3 hours you can give the sick some sips of cold water. Works best for children. If taken over hours, it can cause profuse sweating (which is often a remedy for fevers).

Coughs ~ Basil is an important ingredient in cough syrups and can help with bronchitis. You can relieve cold and flu symptoms by chewing on the leaves. 

Sore throat ~ Water boiled with basil leaves can be taken as tonic and can relieve symptoms.

Respiratory disorders ~ Boiling basil with honey and ginger is useful for asthma, bronchitis, and cold symptoms. For a rapid relief of influenza, boil basil with sea salt and water. Both combinations boiled in 2 quarts until half the water remains works wonders on respiratory problems.

Kidney stones ~ Basil can strengthen your kidneys. In cases of kidney stones, mix juice of basil and honey, and take daily over 6 months. This will expel them through the urinary tract

Heart problems ~ Basil can be used to strengthen those who are weak due to heart disease 

reduce cholesterol

Children’s illnesses ~ Any pediatric complaints can be relieved slightly with basil juice.

Rashes ~ Rashes are reduced with a mixture of basil leaves and saffron. This brings them to surface quicker and helps relieve them in the process.

Stress ~ basil leaves can be used as anti-stress agent. 12 leaves a day reduces stress, purifies blood and prevents other common ailments.

mouth infections ~ Chewing a few leaves can cure infections and ulcers.

Insect bites ~ A teaspoon of basil juice is preventive of bites. Rubbing basil in any form on bites helps itching, along with the paste of basil root.

Skin disorders ~ Basil juice applied directly to the infected area is helpful with ringworm and other common ailments. 

Teeth ~ Dry basil leaves mixed with mustard oil make a toothpaste that will counter bad breath and massage gums while helping with other teeth and gum related problems.

Headaches ~ Boil leaves in a quart of water and cook till half the water is gone. Take a couple of teaspoons over an hour with water. Paste of basil and sandalwood can be put on your head to relieve the headache.

Eye disorders ~ Basil juice is good for night blindness and eye soreness. Put black basil juice in your eyes at night to sooth and relieve these problems.

Bedridden witch: Nature edition

Let’s be honest here. Most of us bedridden peeps don’t have an awesome bed setup like this, and our nature exposure can be limited. However, here’s some tips and tricks to staying connected to nature while stuck in bed, with contributions from myself (@heatherwitch), @thewitchofthenorse, @spooniewitches, @persephoneandthepomegranates & @theepagangrace!

Open a window, or crack the curtains

Hang rainbow prisms in your window

Keep a houseplant nearby

If regular houseplants require too much energy: Try cacti, succulents, lucky bamboo, or spiderplants!

Hang nature/forest/plant artwork around

Get air freshener or room spray that reminds you of the outdoors

Watch a nature documentary or shows with people exploring nature – check out nature (photography) videos on Netflix for calming videos

Listen to forest soundscapes [X] 

Set a nature scene as your screensaver

Keep a jar of soil around

Talk with any nature deities you work with

Follow nature blogs

Get sheets, blankets, or pillowcases with leafy designs, flower designs, etc.

Get a star map app on your phone to be more connected to the night sky

Have a vase of flowers (real or fake)

Keep crystals around that remind you of nature (Moss agate, petrified wood, onyx, selenite, agate geodes, etc.)

Use sigils designed to connect you to nature

Use air conditioning or a fan to make it less stuffy in your room

Read and write poetry about nature

Press plants/flowers or hang dried herbs by your bed

Spend some time looking outside of your window

Burn a nature scented candle or incense (Irish moss, myrrh, frankincense, opium, and lavender)

Use astral travel or dream magic to get to outdoor areas

Watch livestream videos of outdoor areas

Make a sachet of grass, oak bark (or whatever tree you like), quartz, and salt. Hang it near your bed.

With help from others:

Get someone to collect rainwater for you, and use it to wash your face

Ask a friend to take some pictures of cool places they go in nature and send them to you

Have someone collect rocks/plants/feathers etc. from each day and bring them back for you 

Have someone pick wildflowers for you

Drink some herbal tea

Have someone you trust harvest wild edibles/berries for you – or at least bring fresh fruits and veggies!

Skype or video chat with someone while they’re outside

Take the scenic route/detour to some natural areas the next time you need a car ride

Tuesday Witchcraft: A Spark of Willpower

I often find myself getting stuck in a rut and having to drag myself out. So, if you're like me and sometimes need a little magical kick in the ass when you've lost your spark... ta-da!

Materials

Red candle (I also like orange for this one, though red is preferred when I'm especially stuck)

Pinch of cinnamon

Pen and slip of paper

Instructions

Light the candle and say, "Flame of Mars, burn away what holds me down. Awaken passion and strength within me."

Write down a word or short phrase that represents what you want to fuel. (Courage, finish the task, energy, etc). Sprinkle a tiny pinch of cinnamon on the paper and fold it. Hold it near the flame, but don't burn it!

Say, "With fire and spice, I reclaim my will. My energy rises. My spirit is strong."

Carry the paper with you, or keep it somewhere where its energy is needed.

Home Witch Tips

Give your house a name nobody knows so they can't get through your protections. Treat your house  like a living entity because they are. Name them. Greet them. Like the house from Encanto. You can also do something similar to your car.

 Window Water Charm: Fill a jar with water, lemon peel, bay leaf. Place it on a sunny windowsill. It acts like a cleansing light catcher, dissolving stagnant or jealous energy before it comes in. Replace it monthly.

Mirror Placements as Energy Shields: Place small mirrors outward near doors/windows to reflect negativity back out. Place inward facing mirrors behind candles or altars to amplify intentions.

Try burying a moonstone crystal in soil to help balance your work and home life more efficiently. It helps to ensure that work related issues are left at the office.

Having pictures of rabbits somewhere in your room is said to bring peace and harmony, dissolve any tension and prevent an argument. 

Plant rosemary by your front door to promote and invite love into your home.

Wash down your front door with warm water and a couple drops of peppermint essential oil. It refreshes the vibrations and welcomes in luck, wealth. You could also use peppermint tea.

Plant sunflowers in your yard to repel negativity and attract courage, strength of mind, unconditional joy, and healing for emotional wounds.

Sprinkle black salt along your property line to keep out nosy neighbors, solicitors, and other unwanted nuisances.

Stuff dried rosemary, lavender, or bay in a pouch near vents, fans, or fireplaces. As air circulates, it spreads protective cleansing energy invisibly.

If people are in your house and want them to leave, turn your broom upside down and put it back in its place it upside down.

In your house cleaners add sage and peppermint to it to ward your space off and allows only good things in.

Add sigils into home decor, back of picture frames, under rugs, so they radiate throughout the room.

Slip a sachet of lavender, rose, or chamomile between mattress & box spring. It will help with sleep but also magnetize the bed space for love and peace. It’s hidden, powerful, and continuous. 54

　𝄖　 ֺ　autumn + winter witchy tip　 ִ 　 𓉸

Draw sigils on marshmallows using those tiny food colouring bottles. Match the colours to your intent, and have fun using them however. I like to put them in hot chocolate and watch the intent seep into the drink.

Witch craft 101: Making throwing bones.

Alright alright alright my witches!! Todays post is a basic way to make throwing bones for a rune set!! Fair warning this does take a couple days so ya gotta have patience.

Okay first thing ya wanna do is get yo self some bones (I used chicken bones) , a spoon to scoop them out and a pot of water!!

Then next yer gonna set that shit on high and wait for it to boil. And once it starts boiling your gonna put all of your bones that you collected into the pot and let them boil for an hour or so. This helps loosen the remaining meat as well as get rid of lingering bacteria.

Next after there done boiling your going to take them out and your going to gently scrape the rest of the remaining meat of the bones. It usually helps to get the majority of the meat off beforehand though.

Once you've removed the rest of the meat your going to soak them in a bowl with warm water and Dawn soap. The Dawn soap acts as a degreasing agent so that it removes the rest of the grease. And your going to soak them over night.

After you've soaked them over night your going to rinse off the bones and pat them dry and then you going to get a huge ass bottle of 3% hydrogen peroxide. Pour just enough to cover the bones. Your going to soak the bones for several hours to achieve the shade of white you want them to look like.

After your done soaking the bones your going to rinse them off and let them dry for about 2 days. Once they're completely dry you can design them using whatever you'd like ( I used sharpie) and you can seal them using a Matte or Gloss varnish.

Enjoy your new casting bones!!!!

Spell for Overall Health

What you need: A rib bone, (must be white) string, knife or needle, water and water basin. 

Instructions: Fill the basin with water and cut a length of the string and sink it into the water. 

Cut the tips of your pointer fingers (or poke) and put them into the water. 

Blood to Blood. 

Bone to Bone. 

As though they were new. 

Recitation of the spell is important but it’s more important to concentrate. Feel negativity flowing out of your body through the fingertips. 

Repeat the spell over and over again. 

Take the string out of the water and wrap it around the rib. Place the rib back into the water and let it soak for the night. Dress your wounds and go to sleep. When you wake up drain the water before removing the bone. Wrap it with cloth or more string and remove it from the household before nightfall. During the day make sure to focus bad feelings on the bone and commit that day for good acts for your own health and well being as the households. 

Bury the bone.

Healing Spell

*Forward-*

I know you all have heard this before. But of course I HAVE to say it. Yes, this is a healing spell, and no, it should not take the place of medical attention. Magick like this is for minor causes and in worst case scenarios can be performed with a potency 10 fold of the following spell. Good Luck, and may light guide you.

Material:

Red Candle

Any color candle that means healing to you.

Assortment of Healing herbs

(Such as Eucalyptus, Chamomile, Rosemary, horehound, etc)

Anti-flammable container

Piece of paper with the person’s name, (DNA would be very helpful as well)

Lighter

Directions:

Start by setting up the non-flammable container in the middle (with the charcoal in it) put the red candle to the back of the bowl, and the healing candle in front of the bowl. Go ahead and  light the charcoal and let it begin to heat up. After opening the sacred space, light the red candle first and then the healing candle.  

Get the piece of paper with the name on it, sprinkle the herbs clockwise around the name on the paper and fold the herbs in the paper, always folding towards you, turning it clockwise and then towards you again until the herbs are secured in the paper.

Pass the paper through the flame of the healing candle, when it is aflame lay it in the container.

As it burns visualize the healing candle radiating a healing light into the paper and the red candle radiating a light of power into the paper. Now, Visualize the person you are healing healthy as could be, strong, standing tall, the symbol of health. While chanting

“Bright Eyes. Glaring Soul, Heal thy self, take thy pain, and no longer be stained.” (Repeat this until the paper burns out, or you feel comfortable.)

I understand the words don’t rhyme or sound cool, but these words have always rang power in my life.

As always with my spells, end it with a smile, and you are done. Feel free to do this spell as much as you feel necessary.

[lunarabia-deactivated20250910]

There’s a blood moon on September 7th. Y’all know what that means…

It’s the time of transformation. Rebirth. SHADOW WORK. Release. Sudden endings. Heightened intuition. Clarity.

Witches, manifesters, shifters and other creatures…

This is THE time for shadow work, divination, and LETTING GO.

Shifters who are struggling with letting go. During the blood moon, write down your struggles. Things that you feel limit you, things you would title as blockages. Now that you’ve done that, I want you to go ahead and let that fucking piece of paper burn. Those flames are burying your shithole of a mindset so you can set your intention of your shift and FUCKING DO IT.

Witches who are searching for answers. Do a tarot reading. Ask for something you’d need to see that is hidden. Ask for what your shift is gonna be with this blood moon. Your change, and how you should handle it.

Advice on what you should preferably NOT do

Is it time for moon water? No… blood moons still stand for changes and ends, as well as rebirths -> chaos. Your moon water won’t hold any lunar energy, it’ll hold a bunch of chaos. Unless you’d want to use that…

Don’t try to manifest anything. The energy during a blood moon is unstable and unpredictable. Things could mess up your frequency and make you fall into a bad negative spiritual state of mind.

Wanna do some magic on the blood moon? You could orient yourself on these elements,

Colors: red, crimson, black or deep orange

Deities: kali, lilith, inanna

Crystals: garnet, bloodstone, obsidian

Herbs: yarrow, cypress, sage

Tarot cards that may hold stronger meaning: moon, high priestess, death, hermit, tower

magic for the city dweller

chapter two: the liminal, the lost, and the low-lit

you know that feeling when you’re walking down a back alley at 2 am, and everything feels… weirdly mystical? ethereal? like the world is holding its breath? yeah. it might not be because you’re drunk (though, i mean, it also might). but it could be because that’s liminal space, babe.

liminality is the in-between. it’s not quite here, not quite there. it’s the glitch between one state and another. the emptiness of a subway station at night, the heartbeat between dusk and dark, the threshold of a rooftop where you’re in neither sky nor street. and it’s magic as hell.

liminal spaces are haunted, holy, magic, and hidden in plain sight.

the city is laced with them. they’re not the sacred groves of old, but they’re every bit as charged. think: empty bus depots at midnight, graffiti-covered stairwells, rooftops soaked in rain. these are the city dwellers crossroads now. this is where the veil thins in neon light of your neighborhood.

what the fuck is a liminal space? (and why should you care?)

liminal = transitional, the threshold of something…else, between-worlds. you’re not in one place, but not in the next either. magic thrives here because reality gets a bit loose in the seams.

traditional witches had forests, caves, bonfire hills. we’ve got:

• alleyways that hum like a hummed spell

• subway tunnels that breathe like sleeping gods

• doorways between storefronts and abandoned dreams

• rooftops where the sky opens wide, and the city is stretched out around and below you

in these places, time warps. intention lands harder. spells echo longer.

urban liminal spaces and how to haunt them

this city is stitched together with magic seams. here’s where they hide, and what you can do there:

🔻 alleyways – shadowy corridors between the loud and the known. draw sigils in chalk. light a match and whisper into the dark. it’s perfect for secret workings, spirit murmurs, and banishing bullshit.

🔻 abandoned buildings/lots – literal modern ruins. once-places. they’ve got echoes, spirits, and ghosts of old purpose. leave offerings here. sit with the stillness. use these for spirit work, necromancy, or hedge-crossing meditations.

🔻 subway stations and bus stops (especially late at night) – our underground temples. they’re crossroads. write intent in your notes app and read it out loud between train rushes. leave sigils written in marker or chalk under a benches. bonus: alone on a bus or train can be powerful for magic, too. use the motion and movement to charge your spells. think of the city streets as the veins of the city and cast spells for the city’s health as a member of its body.

🔻 rooftops & overpasses – sky magic, babes. perfect for spells needing air, perspective, or elevation. charge objects in moonlight, scream affirmations into the wind, or sit with your spirits during full moons. liminal as fuck.

🔻 crosswalks & intersections (esp. at night) – literal crossroads. traditional magic in a modern grid. drop coins for spirits. draw sigils to be charged by passing cars or pedestrians. ask your ancestors for guidance while the lights flicker red.

🔻 stairwells & emergency exits – places meant to be moved through, not lingered in. so obviously: linger. burn incense. do a quick glamour boost spell before a date. it’s quiet and thresholdy and criminally overlooked.

🔻 community gardens & park edges – little wildness in the middle of machines. great for grounding, spirit communication, or talking to the land beneath all the concrete.

🧷 rituals for the liminal

these aren’t formal. they’re felt. use what you’ve got, darling. here’s a few to try:

🌒 threshold meditation

sit on a stoop. a curb. a fire escape. let your mind wander between worlds. imagine you’re slipping through cracks in the city’s spine. ask: what am i leaving? what am i becoming? where do i go from here? what’s next? wait for an answer.

🔮 veinwalking spell (subway spell)

as the train moves, whisper your intent into the metal and motion. imagine the tunnels as arteries. like i said, streets can be veins. send your spell pulsing through the city’s bloodstream. this works especially well with manifestation or movement magic.

🌕 rooftop offering

bring water, bread, incense, or simply something symbolic. leave it for the city. say thanks. it listens. it might grant favors or requests in return. especially on full moons, eclipses, and thunderstorms.

✍️ tag & trace sigil magic

draw your sigil in chalk, spray paint, lipstick, pen, or sharpie. leave it in a transitional space. stairwell. bench. bathroom mirror. charge it every time someone passes.

🖤 crossroads coin spell

stand in the middle of a quiet intersection. hold a coin. whisper your desire into it. drop it. walk away without looking back. yes, like the legends say.

⛓ urban magic, queer magic, chaos magic: all liminal by nature

let’s be honest: urban witches live in the liminal. we don’t get forests and fields, but we get concrete, crowds, blur, and noise. but that’s where our power lives .

🌆 urban/chaos witches love liminal spots because they’re full of glitch energy. alleyways = mystery zones. graffiti = sigils in disguise. subway schedules = divination tools. you adapt, hack, and twist space into meaning. nothing is fixed, so everything is possible.

🌈 queer magic is deeply liminal. we live between binaries, between margins, between visibility and erasure. that nightclub bathroom you cried in? sacred. the pride march? a ritual procession. the fire escape you kissed someone on? altar. queer magic is threshold magic. it’s resistance, reinvention, and claiming power in places not meant for you.

🌿 traditional witchcraft loves thresholds too, but usually the natural kind: hedgerows, rivers, caves. in the city, that means adapting. a brick wall becomes your hedge. a stairwell becomes your forest path. it’s quieter, more structured. but no less potent. the vibe is “ancestral witch whispers over a bowl of soot and rainwater.”

🕯historical roots, modern boots

liminality’s got deep-ass roots. the celts had their “thin places.” the greeks gave crossroads to hecate. medieval witches danced at twilight in ruins. even now, halloween and beltane are liminal feasts.

but now?

liminal is…

• texting spells between subway stops

• crying on a rooftop with the full moon and a joint

• kissing a stranger in a rave bathroom and calling it divine communion

• finding magic in construction cones and back alleys

our magic is ancestral, yes—but it’s also punk as fuck.

final note: the city is a haunted house that loves you back

you just have to notice it.

walk the liminal paths. whisper at corners. draw in dust. the magic’s there. in the pause before the light turns green, in the hush between club beats, in that back alley of your favorite dive bar.

the veil is thinner than you think, babes. step through.
