I hope this isn't rude, but I'm following a LOT of witch blogs. you being one of them. yet, when I look at the witch-related asks & answers for all of those blogs, other blogs are helpful and list spells and such. you just "no" whenever someone asks? Can I ask why you reject magic for a lot of your situations, considering you run a magic blog and are quite literally a creator of a magical how-to book?
simply because magic is not needed in every situation, nor is it advisable. recognizing when magic is and isn’t needed, or even a good idea is important in the life of the witch.
here are a couple of examples of such:
things i have answered “no” to today:
bewitching your significant other (consent issues anyone?)
bewitching a non-signif to find out personal things (consent again)
asked for a spell for communicating with spirits (just because a skill isn’t developed doesn’t mean a spell will replace experience)
weight loss spells (dangerous and against my personal morals)
however, the one outlier i include is this, because it’s important:
easily google-able question (as stated in previous posts, i encourage people to develop their own research skills so they can grow in their craft when they reach an area of their path where there isn’t someone around to hold their hand and slip them the answers)
as for your “other blogs are helpful and list spells and such”, i’d like to direct your attention to the many posts of lists and ~stuff~ i make for people. such as the:

you want to know why i dont post lists? it’s because i already have.
