Hey there, coming back to Tumblr after yearsss away. Please reblog if you postĀ
- witchcraftĀ - spirit work - energy work - plant magicĀ - tea magic - astral stuff - meditationĀ - vulture cuture - curses - spells - crystals - have a witchy business/shop - witch memes - sigils
Basically, if youāre an active and friendly witchblr!
Me, a swamp hag in a kitty cat night gown and rainbow socks: throw water in a jar with nails and a poppet and shake it as a hex. Put a penny above your door to attract money in your house. Use your local herbs and stones to do what ya want. Wind chimes attract spirits and bottles trap in negativity thrown your way. Throw dried chilis in the foot steps of your enemy to make them hotfooted and paranoid. Sigil and emoticon spells are fun and worked for me so eh whatever. Fuck circles, do whatever, folk magic is easy and quick
Elistist ātradā witch: Um ExCuSe Me?!? NO!! you have to have a circle and call the corners and your gods and goddesses! If has to take time, a lot of time!!!! and you have to do it exacyly like this *holds up instructions* and wear certain robes! Use only these crystals and herbs do NOT use or substitute anything else!!! Doing anything different is bad and fake!!!!! You have to only use our type of magic or youre wrong!!
Also me: another fun magic is to get some rocks and throw them to release certain feelings about something
* starts throwing stones and rocks at the elitists*
Explaining the myths like:
These are most of the washers Iāve found this year, more than one a month on total. I kept wondering what it meant. The first part of the year was a bit of a struggle but by the end things have started to come into focus. Iām going to take the washers as a sigh that Iām shoring things up but thereās a buffer between me and things that could screw me or pin me down. I have space.
iām so glad to see this post! here is one of a few washer collections from days of walking almost everywhere. i still think thereās a poetry to what survives, the things that cross our paths on their way somewhere. there was something about cycles and completeness and split washers being an analog to interrupting addiction.
Or you have a Hypno infestationā¦
Sorry, the joke was a little crass in light of where yāall were going with things. I appreciate the metaphor of offering a space of intentional choice between an automatic response, and as someone who used to pick up the metal slugs from construction sites and whatnot, I can relate to the pleasant synchronicity of collecting a piece of whatever puzzle was being made elsewhere and enjoying it on its own.
hey, i appreciate that! thanks. and if you still have some of those pieces laying around, it would be cool to see some (:
Sounds like someone had a āsmall nope voiceā moment. Lol.
No worries at all. What are your plans for them? I tried to incorporate mine into a shamble but only the washers seemed to fall off. Think I was supposed to wait till the end of the year to build a shamble exclusively of washers and bits of twine I have also found.
my problem is knowing which nope voice to trust!
whatās a shamble? i got a bunch of d&d stuff when searching for it.
i just recently decided to use the ones i found for art or practical stuff. so they helped hang some cardboard as shown. iām also thinking about putting some in acrylic.
I just always trust the nope voice. I figure my subconscious. Subconscious worked something out that my conscious hadnāt yet.
Shambles are from disc world witches. You donāt wanna mess with D&D shambling mounds or you might get yourself decomposed. Shambles from Disc World are tools a witch builds with whatever they got. They are tools to focus magic but not really magical themselves. Iāll reblog something. Hold on.
So, you know how I was endlessly finding washers? Iāve found 10 more since this photo.
BUT, I am now finding nuts! Like, 5 in the last two weeks? Why? Is it time to put the screws to something? One was also a wingnut, so who knows?
Had a pizza date with @needsomeshelter yesterday and she witnessed me finding two nuts within 2 minutes asking āhow did you even see those?ā my brain is just attuned to them at this points. More nuts than washers these daysā¦ Something is coming.
So, I live in a household of magicians from various paths.
My landlord holds his focus in science (he used to work for NASA and Lockheed Martin) and is currently building psychic machines, specifically a plastic ball that works kinda like āBop Itā for witches. Donāt ask me how they work yet because the mathematical knowledge it takes to explain how is WAY above my abilities to understand or articulate. But a lot of the times I watch my landlord stare and argue late into the night with his whiteboard of math equations.
My partner is a sadboi wave producer on Soundcloud. They take streams of channeled information and weave them into spells constructed within the beat of their music. They recently began working on a Red Versus Blue-inspired track that expresses the ideas of a spiritual forge and have been testing out different clanking metal sounds. Very Hephaestus-y. If youāre interested in listening to their work, check out the artist āMnemosyneā!
My room mate practices the art of shapeshifting and kinda has her own working paradigm going on. She is an active part of the magician group: DKMU (Domus Khaotica Marauder Underground) whose manifesto it is to reawaken tangible magic in the world. DKMU calls it the āassault on realityā. Personally, I dont care for the term but I do agree with itās overall goal. However, my household and I believe reality is already pretty magical and surrealā¦itās just a matter of bringing to visible awareness/coaxing it to the surface. To the person who recently suggested DKMU to me during the May 15th ritual event, surprise surprise! It was DKMU all along!
Which brings me to the topic of this post: last night we went āglamourbombingā.
What is āglamourbombingā? Basically you hide magickal objects, spell instructions, weird messages, or empowered sigils around your city or town for people to find. When a person finds it, it creates a circumstance where said person is approached by magic, and given an invitation to participate in it by virtue of finding it. Itās basically the equivalent of hiding Hogwarts letters all around. We hide them well enough to where a person has to be just a little curious about their physical surroundings to come upon them-so by virtue of that curiousity, the invitation was meant for them.
My room mate and I hit up a bunch of public parks last night and began hiding these little glass beads with sigils (the LS sigil which, in the DKMU paradigm, helps initiate seekers into finding their own path to magic) and red-letter invitations all around. There was this one park we found that had a particularly spooky vibe. Another park had thriving patches of flowering white clover all around and I could SENSE the Fey activity there! I gotta go back there some time soon.
We finished our job somewhere around 3 a.m. and made it back to the house where I passed out soon afterwards. But I woke up this morning feeling a little happier than yesterday musing over how many people might find those sigilized beads and letters and be inspired, even just a little, to opening up their intuition or doing their first spellā¦
Maybe through these tiny acts, the world can be a more magickal place to live in.
ngl I always assumed you were involved with DKMU due to similarities in practice, Iām honestly kinda shocked to hear its your roommate thats the dickmoo rather than you
my art peaked wen i was 4 or so and would just throw whatever shit i could find (juice, rainwater, plants, moss, shells, dirt, sugar, soap, rocks, milk, toys etc.) in2 a bucket n stir it with a wooden spoon 4 hours sitting in th garden n wen som1 would ask me wot th fuck i was doing i would b like āPotionā
Also idk if y'all are dweebs about local legends and obscure historical facts and monuments and cool things in your city that are likeā¦..unconventional I guess
But thereās this website called AtlasObscura.com where you can literally put in ur zip code or ur city or ur state and itāll literally show you a map and list of a bunch big super cool interesting sometimes spooky things in ur area!!!
Like if youāre into crypts and catacombs and history and legends and unusual attractionsā¦.this is ur best bet
Especially if youāre visiting a city (like Boston cough) where you want to not solely do the popular overpriced and over packed typical tourist shit this summer!!!
Recoil-operatedās $12 traditional mead:
So one of the most common things I see on my Mead posts is āIād love to do that, but I donāt have the stuffā
Weāll sit down and buckle up. Because Iām about to show you how to make a $12.56 traditional mead.
Hereās the recipe:
1 gallon Deer Park/spring water. You donāt want distilled.
3 lb or 32 fluid ounces honey.
One package of yeast.
a party balloon.
The cost total is $13.49, but you only need one pack of yeast. So -$0.90.
Letās begin:
Everything together on a clean work surface, you will need a clean glass. And while not entirely necessary, a measuring cup will be handy.
Pour a cup of water for yourself and drink it. Hydration is important. Also this will allow you headspace.
Remove about ehhhhh, a quart or so of water to drink later.
Trust me. Youāre going to want it
Wash your drinking cup and mixing about a teaspoon of honey.
You have two options for yeast, that bread yeast we bought, or professional brewerās yeast.
Theyāre both the same price. You can get brewers yeast off of Amazon.
I already have brewerās yeast, so Iām using brewerās yeast
Stick that in that honey water.
Stick your honey in some hot water.
Go outside. Breath the free air. Know what it isā¦ To truely live.
Enough of that bitch. Honeyās hot. Put it in the water.
Put the water in the honey too.
Shake the sin out of it.
Put that stuff back in the big bitch.
Shake the sh*t outta it.
Hydrate yourself with the water you removed earlier.
Shank a balloon with a pin.
Add your yeasty honey water.
Balloon it.
Label it.
If your trad mead says anything racist, or anything positive about Hitler. Straighten that sh*t out.
And there you go. $12 (.56) traditional mead. Stick it somewhere dark and leave it alone for a while.
Shake the hell outta it once a day for the first four days. Then let it be until itās clear.
Update:
Boozification has begun.
Lots of spices and herbs make for nice additions as well.
Good post.
Who the hell are you to tell your sentient trad mead what to think?
Iām itās creator. I have deemed racism to be sin.
i wonder if magic is real, but only in a really mundane way.
when i was little i could almost inerringly switch back to disney channel right as the ads ended when i was channel surfing.
maybe youve never accidentally crushed a ladybug underfoot. maybe your microwave popcorn never burns. maybe you can spin around lots and lots of times before you get dizzy.
is that magic??
honestly im not sure if these are magic or just small, invisible skills. im not sure which i like better.
My ankles never twist. Ā Iāve always been rather active, I did track for five years (all the running events), and one time while running I stepped in a hole, lost my shoe, and landed sprawling about five feet away. Ā I pulled my shoe on and kept running.
I have a coworker who somehow makes better coffee than everyone else even though the grounds come pre-measured and all you have to do is load them up and push a button. Ā I have a friend who has inch long nails that never break. Ā My brother can copy origami just by looking at the finished product and my mother can do the same with knots. Ā I knew a guy who never made an error when typing.
Maybe we all have little magics, the kind that you donāt realize you have. Ā Just tiny things that make your life slightly better but are completely unnoticed on the outside.
this is the cutest post i have ever readā¦
Nooo Iāve actually shared this theory before. Like my Dad is really lucky finding parking spaces. And Iāve never cracked my phone even though I drop it on the time and have an average case. Like what if everybody gets one trivial part of their life that theyāre illogically lucky at?
āLittle magicsā
witch tip:
if you are holding on to anger towards someone (especially a person who is no longer in your life), sit in a quiet place, burn your favorite incense, and write that person a letter.Ā write down every single thought and emotion you feel towards that person. when you are done, burn the letter in a cauldron or fireproof bowl.Ā as you burn it, repeat out loud āyou no longer have power in my lifeā until the letter has turned to ash.Ā collect the ash and use it to make black salt.
Reblogging because I just mentioned this to a client today.
Boy oh boy, did I need to find this! Iāve been holding on to a lot anger and resentment towards someone for a very long time now, I think its time to let go of all that
A very valuable lesson for witches young and old alike.Ā
Pro tip from someone who used to suggest this technique all the time - if this is all youāre doing to release the anger and resentment, itās gonna come back to you. Maybe not in regards to the same person, maybe itāll be some new situation, butā¦ itāll come back. Iām talking from experience here.
Take another step with this. Before burning it, reread the letter and for every item, every point you make - ask yourself, can I truly release this, or is there something from them I still want?
Then ā¦ dig. If thereās something you still want from them, thereās a need in your soul to be met.
I want an apology. Because I want acknowledgement that they realized they hurt me. Because I want it to matter to them that they hurt me. I want to matter to them. I want to matter.
This just being an example, but the idea is to find the root feeling and then youāve got something to actually work on, which is finding a way to fill that void WITHOUT them. In the example up there, it could be building yourself intrinsic reward pathways, finding ways to love yourself enough that you donāt need external validation.
Do the work. THEN burn the paper, to release anything that your soul said you were ready to release, and to release THEIR bond on anything that you werenāt. Youāre on the path to healing yourself, and burning the connection is still a very brilliant way to empower yourself in this process.
This has hit my dash a few times, so Iām just gonna reblog this again.
Iāve found another angle on this that is helpful: write yourself the apology you deserve.
So itās the first day of college and there are people handing out bibles everywhere
let me tell you a story
i picked philosphy as minor this semester and there are severalĀ āsoon to be priestsā who need to study philosophy before theology. to make it ven funnier itās only me and other 5 women, all the other 40 are men priests.
on a rainy thursday (would you look at that coincidence) i got my pagan ass to class (heh) and i noticed some of them gave me weird looks because of my mjƶllnir and myĀ āāāin your faceāāā pagan tshirt, so they started asking me why i was defying cristians with those accessories, in a catholic university and being probably baptized as christian when a baby.Ā
i just let them talk and heard a lot about how wrong i was converting to an āunexistentā andĀ āprimitiveā religion when i shit you not a thunder hit the building next to ours and almost got everyone deaf. i got startled but i tried to keep my cool to scare them off and i said in my morgan freeman sort of voiceĀ ādonāt you call my gods falseā.
they literally run away to the sight of me now.
Thank you for your continuation to my post itās the best one yet

Ever since I saw this tin at the thrift store, I knew it had to become aĀ āSwim Through My Dreamsā tin. As I often work with water and moon magic, most of the items in this tin have association with one or the other or both and most of the flowers and herbs came from my garden or my parentsā garden. Correspondences are based on my previous researches and my intuition and experiences with the plants/crystals/shells themselves.
ššš Swim Through My Dreams ššš
š Soft twilight wool to welcome the comfort of the night
š Lavender - relaxation and sleep
š Hydrangea - protection, dream and moon magic
š Jasmine - moon and dream magic, also it smells lovely and is mood lifting
š Lotus root - peace, calmness, feeling settled into sleep
š Blue Lotus petals - this is actually a water lily, calmness, peace, relaxation
š Amethyst - helps with dream recall (also my favourite bedside crystal)
š Mother of Pearl - moon magic
š Selenite - moon magic, bring clarity in dreams
š Seaweed - to help me swim through my dreams
I plan to charge this under the moonlight and then tuck the tin into one of the drawers of my bedside stand.
For more details of correspondences for a number of the plants, please check out Herbal RiotĀ and please always do further research on any plants or herbs you may use.
Norse Magic: A Simplified Introduction
The terms āseiĆ°rā, āspĆ”ā, and āgaldrā are a few of the terms that get thrown around when discussing Norse magic. What do all of these words mean?
For starters, āseiĆ°rā, āspĆ”ā, and āgaldrā are not different words for the same type of practice. While these can all fit together, and usually those that do one often do the other, they each hold individual roles in Norse magic.
SeiĆ°r
SeiĆ°r, at its basic form, is trance induced magic that can be done while soul traveling the nine worlds. You can alter your destiny or even affect the destiny of others. If you are familiar with chaos magic, seiĆ°r is like a school of shamanistic chaos magic (for example you can control your reality through actions done in trance work instead of through sigils). You can make use of energy work and heal yourself or others, alter someoneās opinion, thoughts, or actions concerning a certain situation, and even commune with the gods themselves and act as a channel for them to speak through. There is so much more concerning seiĆ°r that canāt be covered in this paragraph, but will be expanded upon in future entries.
SpĆ”
SpĆ” or spĆ”-craft is the art of seeing oneās fate. Just like the work of a seer, a spĆ”kona or spĆ”maĆ°r is able to tap into the threads of oneās fate, seeing what is to come or what they and their ancestors have experienced in the past.
Galdr
Galdr, meaning āincantationā, is the practice that uses the chants or songs of runes when practicing runic magic. Since you are working with focused vibrational energy, the practice of galdr can be extremely powerful when used properly.
While these are tremendously simplified descriptions of tremendously complex practices, itās a good jumping off point for the different articles Iām going to write that will further explain them in detail. In future entries, Iāll start with discussing the foundations of seiĆ°r and sharing ways in which you can start learning how to utilize it in your practice. Eventually, I will have articles concerning spĆ”-craft and galdr. I look forward to sharing what Iāve experienced with everyone!

Gentle witch little things
Simple things you can do to bring more love and positivity into the world:
enchant the bus or train youāre on, so that everybody has a pleasant day or a safe travel home
paint protective sigils in the misty windows of buses or shops when it rains, and leave words of encouragement and praise on public bathroomsā mirrors
bless passing ambulances and firefighter trucks with speed and safety for their patients/destination
wear an enchanted lipstick/gloss for your smile to brighten the day of everybody you meet
enchant your spare change so that it gives luck to the beggars you donate it to; they need it, donāt they?
actually, just enchant your money, so that retail and low-wage workers can have a better day when they serve you
leave blessed acorns and harmless trinkets in various places like buses or waiting rooms; give other people something to wonder about and make their day, and kids an item to roll in their hands mindlessly
bless food and leave it for stray animals; let birds be messangers of hope and miraclous event for everybody that sees them
whisper encouragement to trees and grass you pass by; let them know someone cares, someone sees their beauty, and awaits their bloom
