“Oh I love roses! I try growing them myself, but they never get very far.”

“Would you like to know the secret to healthy rose bushes,” I asked, knowing that she would not like the answer.

“Do tell!”

Grin. “Blood.”

The customer paused, waiting for me to say that I was kidding. But I wasn’t so it never came. She became nervous.

And before I could explain that blood meal is a common soil fixer and fertilizer, she put her hands up, spun around and said-

“Bye.”

You want to know the secrets to a beautiful garden? You better be prepared for some weird shit.

Well someone felt like being the ominous witch in the small, mysterious shop today.

…also, tomatoes like blood too.

libraford

My interest in plants extends beyond ‘oh look a pretty flower’ and straight into ‘plants are fucking metal.’

Evidently, you’re supposed to plant garlic in the same places as your roses because the garlic will repel a rose-specific aphid.

So what I’m saying is that between the romantic symbolism of the rose, the bloodmeal in the soil, and the fresh garlic all over the place-

You could really set yourself up for an encounter with some VERY pissed vampires.

Roses really love banana skins, too. Just… stick one in there before you plant a rose bush or spronkle around one that’s already in the ground. They’ll adore you.

libraford

Mmm… blood banana.

I made tiny ass Home Depot Petunias blossom like magic that they’re nearly overtaking the trellises.

How did I accomplish this?

Once a week I bury a small amount of leftover meat in the soil.

My morning glories loved the crap out of the charred chicken bones I gave them. They’re already an enthusiastic plant, but the blooms I had this year were extraordinary.

✨ Cleansing in Witchcraft ✨

Cleansing is a way of removing negative or unwanted energies, spirits, and imprints from an object or a space. There are a number of simple rituals and actions that are done to cleanse. You can do as many or as few as you like, and create your own cleansing methods/rituals.

✨ CLEANSING ONESELF

Brush your hair, morning

Ritual baths

Dancing singing

Visualization

Drinking a tea designed to cleanse

✨ DISCREET METHODS

Brush your hair

Open the windows, let the new air come in and the old air out

Light a candle

Playing a song you associate with cleansing

Ringing wind chimes

Wetting your hands in salt water and flicking the water through the area

Visualize light and colors, and manipulate the energy away

✨ OPEN AREA METHODS

Ring a bell through an area

Smoke cleansing / cense (not smudging)

Waft incense smoke around

Burn herbs, such as sage, rosemary, bay leaf, etc

Spritz lemon-infused water around, or salt water

Light a candle

Sprinkle salt or eggshell pieces in the windows and doorways

Use a besom to clean the negative energies out of the air like cobwebs

Wave a branch of a strong-scented herb through the area, such as mint

Toss a pinch of salt or herbs in the door ways and window

Touch each corner of the room and say a short prayer over each

✨ CLEANSING OBJECTS

bury in a salt bath

if water-compatible (not soluble, won’t react poorly, etc), let sit in a moon or salt water bath

pass through smoke

incense

rainwater, mist, snow, etc

This young girl uses “los,” “las” and the gender-neutral “les” — watch her explain why. —from REMEZCLA on twitter.

jumpingjacktrash

to all the cowards who whine “how will i explain it to my kids??” i say: how about you shut up and let your kids explain it to you.

dandan-theberserker

Guys, you don’t understand, this isn’t the same thing as people complaining about “they” in English! This is a huge deal in Spanish. Spanish-speakers are much less forgiving of new colloquialisms or loan words from other languages (god forbid you say “slide” for a slideshow instead of “diapositiva”; you’ll get burned at the stake). To explain, I have to give a bit of background:

There is a very old organisation called La Real Academia Española (the Spanish Royal Academy or RAE) whose sole job has been to maintain strict grammar and language rules for the entire Spanish-speaking world. Whenever someone is unsure of a word or rule, it is very common to consult la RAE, but it’s a much bigger deal than just Googling something on Dictionary.com or Webster’s in English-speaking countries. You know those old-people minion Facebook memes people like making fun of? There are some for RAE-approved grammar and language. I’m completely serious. I’ve had Spanish literature professors fucking email RAE officials when teaching some obscure grammar rule to make sure they’re up to date with RAE standards. I’ve had them scold students or dropping points for using a new or loan word in class because “it’s not RAE-recognised”. It’s the biggest deal.

Even if a word is widely understood and used, there are people who refuse to recognise it because “La RAE” doesn’t either. La RAE’s word is law for many Spanish-speakers, and it very rarely adds or changes words. They would never dream of adding “selfie” or “muggle” to the dictionary the way it has happened in English.

Spanish is a gendered language, so it’s hard to make things gender neutral without drastically changing centuries-old language rules. For example, the Spanish word for child is “niño” for masculine and “niña” for feminine. The correct gender-neutral way according to la RAE is “niño”, but lots of people use the “@“ symbol in the place of the gendered vowel to make it more inclusive, giving you “niñ@“. And RAE-thumpers get pissed about it. It’s impossible to make something widely recognised without RAE approval, which sucks because the people who manage RAE are a bunch of stubborn and elitist old people. To be fair, using “@“ is a bit cumbersome and only good for written works, and it’s always been a struggle to find a spoken gender-neutral equivalent. That’s where this sweet girl’s solution comes in.

Using a neutral vowel “e” instead of the gendered vowels “a” and “o” is an incredibly elegant solution to this problem! It’s easy to say and it’s easy to write. But for the average Spanish-speaker to accept “les” instead of “los” or “las” is a huge feat we’re undertaking. Standing up to her teacher, who most likely adheres to RAE rules and regulations, is a huge deal. These rules are centuries old and haven’t changed that much this whole time. What she’s suggesting is making a lot of people irrationally mad.

It’s not like in English where people whine about “they”, and yet you can pull up hundreds of examples of it in older literature. This has never been done in Spanish before. And it’s gonna take a lot more work to make this a thing in such a tightly-regulated language as Spanish.

thousands of prisoners are not being evacuated even though there is a category 4 storm in the winds

please call prisons to demand that prisoners be evacuated

rock-fish-deactivated20201231

hey y'all self care tip: if you want to just repeat “evacuate all the prisoners now!” with no other elaboration, politely or firmly, smoothly or awkwardly, loud or quiet, that is literally enough. don’t psych yourself out, this isn’t an Adult Responsibility call. it isn’t a Be Sure You Say The Right Thing call. it’s a call you can throw words at in any order as well as you can so long as the message gets ACROSS! evacuate ALL the prisoners, NOW! if you wanna give your reasons, do. you can literally bark caveman words too

just call

people will die, no maybes

y’all please evacuate don’t be stubborn

savannahgambino-deactivated2023

As a Floridian who’s been through this a million times, listen to me. A category 3 hit us before and we were out of power for two weeks and Florida cities are literally BUILT for hurricanes. This is a category 4, almost 5. Houses on the upper east coast aren’t hurricane proofed like they are here.

PLEASE evacuate your family and pets.

ebonyheartnet

To be clear: Category 5 means that the house is just gone, completely flattened, and I mean that that would happen just because the wind alone is that strong.

The debris from it doing this to other people’s houses?

And trees?

And rain?

Gtfo while you can, in whatever way you possibly can. If some rich asshole starts buying all the resources like during Harvey, where they probably left a ton of people stranded?

<.< I’m not encouraging anything, but you can probably find a DIY guillotine video on YouTube. 45 cut FEMA’s budget, and I am honestly terrified that this one will make it look like Katrina wasn’t that bad by comparison.

daniel-oneiroi

Another Floridian who went through Andrew. Pay attention to what Ron White said: “It’s not… *THAT* the wind is blowin’… it’s… *WHAT* the wind… is blowin’.” If you are so damn arrogant, so damn foolhardy, that you honest-to-God believe that somehow you will magically survive Cat4 winds (you will likely not), you will CERTAINLY not survive what those Cat4 winds are shuffling through the air. Which is things like, oh, CARS. Ever been in a car accident?? Did you know that it isn’t just wind and rain in a hurricane? They spin off tornadoes, too! You know you can’t go into an attic in Florida, because the wind and tornadoes will tear off the roof during a storm. You can’t go into basements because they flood. And during a strong Cat4 or any Cat5, no part of that building is expected to remain standing. SO. PLEASE GET THE FUCK OUT. TAKE THE ANIMALS, TAKE THE KIDS, AND GO. IF YOUR ADULT SELF WILL NOT SURVIVE, YOUR CAT WILL ALSO NOT SURVIVE. TAKE THE ANIMALS.

Why Isn’t Tumblr Freaking Out?!?!

Guys. Article 13 just got passed.

Article 13 just got passed.

Article 13 just got passed!!!!

Article 13 just got passed.

Article 13 just got passed!

Article 13 just got passed.

I don’t know if I’ve said it enough. So…

ARTICLE 13 JUST GOT PASSED!!!!

I have been on tumblr all morning and haven’t seen one post about it yet! I don’t understand how!

ARTICLE 13 JUST GOT PASSED!!!!

It was a 438 to 226 fucking landslide vote too. (https://www.theverge.com/2018/9/12/17849868/eu-internet-copyright-reform-article-11-13-approved)

They’re voting on it one last time in January 2019, but that’s barely any time to change anything!!!!

You still have time to call your MEPs so PLEASE!!! Do so.

If you’re outside of the EU, sign this petition: https://www.change.org/p/axel-voss-save-the-internet-reject-article-13-and-11?recruiter=839558037&utm_source=share_petition&utm_medium=copylink&utm_campaign=share_petition

If you don’t know what this means, it’s basically then end of how the internet currently is in Europe. Memes? Nope. Youtubers? Bye!

You’d need a license for everything!!!!

And my fellow Americans my be all like, well, what’s the big deal for us? It’s a Europe deal.

No, because the Youtubers there that you love so much? This effects them too! I’m freaking out because Jack, the person who helps my depression go away, may no longer be able to do what he does!

Guys, we need to stop this somehow. Please.

Call your MEPs. Sign petitions. Protest (Peacefully please. Don’t get hurt).

I’m sorry for tagging you guys if you don’t want to be or already know, I just want as many people to know as possible!

I can’t tag everyone, but if you see this, please reblog it. Spread the news. Sign the petition. Call your MEPs. Do what you can to help stop this from passing in January.

Yesterday I had a friend tell me how one of her close friends has a whole bunch of succulents, and she has given each one the name of her close friends. She nurses them, takes care of them, talks to them, and if one ever starts to get sick or not grow well, she talks to the friend in question and something is almost always bothering them.

And if that isn’t one of the cutest examples of subtle green witchcraft I don’t know what is.

earthstory

Chilling That title was the word astronaut Alexander Gerst applied to this view down the throat of powerful Hurricane Florence when the International Space Station flew over the storm this morning. If you are in the path of this storm, today is the last chance. You’ve probably heard this from everyone else, but just so you’re hearing it everywhere, don’t test this one. This storm is going to be a monster when it makes landfall. Structures on the barrier islands are going to be devastated by the storm surge and once it hits, it will take days before anyone can get to these islands. Farther inland, this will be the farthest north that a category 4+ Atlantic hurricane has ever made landfall, bringing winds to areas that haven’t built for them. Still farther inland, forecasts call for this storm to stall, dumping huge rainfall totals up against the Appalachian Mountains. Those rains will not be able to spread out across the landscape like they did in Texas last year when Harvey dumped comparable rainfall totals on Houston. Instead, the rains from Florence will be funneled into steep channels as they flow out of the high ground, where they will flow rapidly down towards the coastline. They will take bridges with them. They will take roads with them. They will probably take houses and cars with them. They will take boulders with them. If you’re in one of these towns, you will be cut off from assistance by these floodwaters, and if anything goes wrong you will be stuck until the waters recede. If you haven’t gotten out yet, get out now. Please don’t test this one. -JBB Image credit: https://flic.kr/p/2b1mpKn

One of my favourite historical phenomena is technology that’s based on a totally off-the-wall theory about how the world works, but ends up being sort of effective because it’s close enough. Like those old-timey plague doctor masks, whose enormous beaks are an enclosed breathing apparatus stuffed full of dried aromatic herbs on the theory that disease is communicated by the odour of decay - which is completely wrong, of course, but the masks ended up being reasonable effective at their purpose anyway because it turns out that sticking a big wad of dried plant matter in front of your airway is a pretty effective way to avoid inhaling aerosolised bodily fluids.

My favorite is the fact that scurvy was cured, and then un-cured because a bunch of perfectly sensible and intelligent people didn’t know what a vitamin was.

It should also be noted that some of the flowers they used to make their plague odor fighting mix were comfrey, calendula, and echinacea. Or as you might know them as today, “Neosporin”.

So You Wanna Be a Guardian of Nature, eh?

Or maybe you’re wondering what a guardian of nature is, now that I’ve brought it up.

Well if there’s an existing witchy term for this, please let me know, but I’m using “Guardian of Nature” to mean someone who protects, maintains, and honors a natural space, thereby establishing a stronger connection to that space and the forces within it.

If that sounds cool to you, I have two pieces of great news:

It’s easy to become a guardian of nature

Anyone can

In fact, I’d go so far as to say everyone should, and that if everyone did, our planet would be in better shape, but that’s a rant for another day.

How to Become a Guardian of Nature

Like I said, it’s easy:

Start by selecting a natural space with a reasonable size that you have access to. So, like, probably not a whole forest or your neighbour’s garden.

You want somewhere that you can safely spend time without getting in trouble, and that you can reasonably commit to maintaining. Spaces you already visit or pass by often are great. It definitely doesn’t have to have a lot of vegetation or be deep in the wilderness: places closer to humans are typically the spaces that need help most desperately.

If you feel it’s appropriate, you can do a ritual or ceremony to cement your commitment to the space. You can declare your intentions, make an offering, ask for acceptance from the space and/or any beings within it, ground yourself there to establish an understanding of the space’s needs, etc.

Congrats, you are now a guardian. As for your duties, they are to:

Guard, Maintain, and Honour

There’s so much you can do for the space you’ve adopted. Just remember that you are not the owner or manager of the space, only a protector of its wellbeing: a humble servant. Before doing anything you should research and consider the needs of the plants, animals, and spirits present.

Clean litter and trash in the area

Cleanse the space

Ward it against evil

Research the life cycles and needs of the plants in the area and care for them as you would a garden

Research about the local wildlife, too! You don’t want to harm them or disturb their habitat.

Researching the geology and climate of the area is useful, too. Learn as much as you can about the space

Sprinkle fertilizer or compost-soil on the ground (if the plants won’t mind)

Plant wildflowers and other area-appropriate things

Erect a shrine or altar for any spirits present or even just to the space itself

Leave offerings for local spirits or animals. Do not leave food or animals might become dependant. Flowers and water libations are usually okay, but always do research and remember to clean up after.

Erect a shrine or altar to a deity whose domains intersect with the space, ask their blessing on the space and those within it. Again, be mindful of the habitat.

Spend time meditating, centering, or grounding in the space. Let the space and those within know that they are loved and appreciated

Try to connect with the spirits in the area; find out what their needs are, what they like and don’t like, and how you can best serve them.

Use things from the area (stones, flowers, etc.) to cast protection and vitality spells on it from home

Carry a piece of the area with you as a sign and reminder of your commitment

Leave talismans or sigils in the area to help your work. Make sure they are safe for the animals, insects, and spirits who live there.

Lastly, remember to take care of yourself. There will be times when you have to decrease your visits or lighten your workload and that’s okay. The main thing is just to remain committed to protecting, maintaining, and honouring as best you can.

🌟27 Ways to Develop Your Psychic Abilities🌟

1. Meditate every day for at least 10 – 15 minutes. Raising your vibration is super important when you want to develop your psychic abilities. This is because Spirit energy vibrates at a higher frequency.

Meditation will allow you to be in a relaxed state and raise your energetic vibration. You’ll begin to feel more connected to your Higher Self, Spirit, and the energy of others. For variety and some fun, try a guided meditation!

2. Get to know your Spirit Guides. During meditation, ask your Guides to show themselves to you. Ask them their names. Don’t filter anything, just go with it and trust.

3. Practice psychometry. Psychometry is reading the energy of an object. It’s SUPER fun and can be a great way to start practicing your abilities. All you need to do is hold an object (preferably a metal object and something that has lots of energy on it, like a wedding ring), then, close your eyes and see if you can intuitively sense, see, or hear anything about the owner of the object.

4. Develop clairvoyance with flower visualization. Visualization exercises will help develop your psychic abilities, specifically, clairvoyance. Grab some flowers from your yard or a cheap bouquet from the market. (It’s nice to have different types of flowers for this exercise.) Place the flowers in front of you and study them for a little while. Now, close your eyes and imagine one of the flowers. When you can see see the flower clearly in your mind, move onto the next, and so on.

5. Develop your clairvoyance with random visualization. This is fun, especially if you’ve mastered the flower visualization or just plain ole’ don’t like flowers.

6. Take a walk in nature. Meditation doesn’t have to be boring – or done sitting down. Do a mindfulness meditation by taking a walk in nature. Concentrate on as each step as you walk. Focus on the movement of your body and say the word “step” with each step you take. This will help your mind clear of clutter and help increase your vibration. Of course, taking a regular walk in nature without concentrating on your steps is also very meditative!

7. Read a few pages of a psychic development book every day.

8. Read posts by trusted psychic and medium bloggers to continue getting educated about intuition and the Spirit world.

9. Visit an antique store. Notice what you intuitively FEEL or sense by being in the store.

Does the energy feel wonderful? Heavy?

Now pick up an object. Do you sense anything? Hear a name? See a vision? Using your psychic abilities in this way helps increase them!

10. Make a symbol book. Psychic information comes to us in a variety of ways. It’s often symbolic and not meant to be taken literally.

Your Spirit Guides will help you interpret information as you develop your psychic abilities. Get yourself a nice journal and pen (I did this years ago and it’s an awesome keepsake!).

Sit quietly and invite your Spirit Guides and Angels in for help.

Ask them to give you symbols for things like events and occupations. For example, for “birthday”, you may be shown a birthday cake (if you’re clairvoyant) or hear the happy birthday song (if you’re clairaudient).

Write it down in your symbol book. Now, when you give a reading and are shown a birthday cake, you’ll know what it means!

11. If your using tarot, make your own tarot book. Get a tarot deck that you love, such as the The Rider Tarot Deck. Instead of looking at the meanings that come with the cards, use your intuition to make your own meanings. Spend time with one card each day meditating on the card. Write down all of your impressions of each card and what it means to you. This is a great way to develop your psychic abilities and learn tarot.

12. Practice seeing auras. ANYONE can learn to see an aura, so this is a great way to develop your psychic abilities. Have a friend stand in front of a plain colored wall. Step back about eight feet. Focus on your friend’s forehead (third eye area). Imagine you are looking through her, at the wall behind. You will start to notice the aura layer around the head.

13. Develop your clairaudience (psychic hearing). Each night, before you go to sleep, lay quietly in bed. Listen to the sounds around you. Do you hear crickets? The wind rustling through the trees? Focusing on the sounds that you normally ignore will sharpen this intuitive gift.

14. Practice giving readings often. This is KEY to becoming a psychic or medium. You can read all you want about golf, but until you get out there on the course and practice, you won’t become a great golfer. It’s the same with developing your psychic abilities.

15. Tune-in to your pet. When your pet is calm, sit with him and try intuitively picking up on how he feels. This will help develop your clairsentience.

16. Practice reading old family photos. I used to do this with my grandmother’s old black and white photos of family members that I had never met. Look at the people in the photos. Write down everything that you sense about them. This is one of the most fun ways to develop your psychic abilities.

17. Journal often. Journaling helps get you in touch with your Higher Self (soul) and spiritual helpers. Try this: Think of a situation you need guidance on. Journal about it. While you do, allow yourself to relax and let yourself be Divinely guided.

18. Pray. This will help you continue to feel loved, supported, and connected to the Divine.

19. Ask a friend to call you – telepathically. In your mind, hold the image on your friend. Imagine energetically asking her to contact you within 24 hours.

20. Join a spiritual development circle or take a class. This will give you a safe, loving environment in which to develop your psychic abilities and mediumship.

21. Get to know other psychics and mediums. Being a psychic or medium can be pretty interesting! It’s nice to have the support of others and, if you’re gifts are just developing, you can practice on each other.

22. Learn to turn your gifts “on”. As soon as you start to develop your psychic abilities, you’ll want to learn how to control them. This way you’re not “on” all the time, picking up everybody’s stuff.

Prior to any intuitive practice or giving a practice reading, imagine lighting a candle in your mind. Invite your Spirit Guides and Angels in.

The candle visualization lets your spiritual helpers know that you are open to psychic and Spirit communication. This will help you learn to turn on your gifts when you want to use them.

23. Learn to turn your gifts “off”. When you are done practicing, imagine blowing out the candle. Thank your spiritual helpers for their Divine support. This will help you control your gifts when you’re not working with Spirit or giving a reading.

24. Focus on your third eye. Clairvoyance is one of the main psychic abilities. To develop clairvoyance, take a few moments and focus on your third eye area (just above and between your eyebrows). Imagine it opening up. You may even feel your third eye begin to tingle.

25. Keep your vibration high. Having a high vibration is important when you develop your psychic abilities. Why? Because:

Spirit vibrates at a very high frequency.

Living a joyful, authentic life, will help you feel more connected to the Divine and your Higher Self.

Like attracts like which means that you will attract other beautiful, spiritually aware souls into your life!

26. Eat high-vibrational foods. Adding high vibration foods to your diet, such as fresh fruits and veggies will help your body feel good. And the better you feel physically, the better you will feel psychically and it will be easier to develop your psychic abilities.

27. Keep a dream journal. When your first start to develop your psychic abilities, you might start having really vivid dreams. This is because our logical minds aren’t resisting Spirit energy while we are sleeping. (Our logical minds often make us second guess ourselves when we are awake.) Keeping a dream journal can be helpful – and a nice keepsake of your intuitive journey!

Hope all this tips will help you opening your third eye 🙈
