@inmyownpower
listen I hate this stupid discourse every goddamn time it rolls around I just wanna make fun of emoji spells in peace can y’all take your bath bombs elsewhere and retaliate with ineffective curses on your own time
Maybe don't insult people's practices and nobody will get mad about it lmfao don't start shit won't be shit
@inmyownpower you seem pretty defensive for someone so sure in their methods
I don't use emoji spells myself but go off I guess lol
Are you a troll? I refuse to believe anyone can be as fucking stupid as you, and be for real.
Ableist too, nice job. Just apologize for calling me a man.
This is why I don't actually call myself a chaote. Because you're almost all fucking assholes.

Emoji spells are the tumblr equivalent of “one like = one prayer” over on Facebook :p
no it’s different it works because *~*~intent~*~*
they literally are 1 like = 1 prayer and it makes me want to tear my eyeballs out
Haha I love making fun of people who do magic differently than me haha especially when it’s literally not affecting my life at all hahaHA
same
That was sarcasm bruh I’m saying ur doin bad
i know my dude but get this: i dont really care
I mean if you’re cool with being a fucking asshole lol I guess that’s ur business but wow you’re a piece of shit though
if not believing in something and saying that i don’t believe in it on my own makes me a piece of shit then yeah im p comfortable with that tbh
Not believing in something doesn't mean you have to mock people who do
&& I'm fucking trans. Bruh isn't a gendered term. Dude is. You misgendered me and you could like apologize instead of being a transphobic ass.
Being a dick makes you a better magician, apparently 9_9

Amber bear amulet of neolithic hunter. c. 3500 years old
I will NEVER not reblog the 3500 year old gummy bear
I can’t say I ever expected magick to make me start learning how to program but here we are
details?
I have some sort of nebulous idea about making a program to control servitors and a generative sigil process. I think once I have a better handle on programming, the specific magickal applications will be more apparent but it’s obvious there’s a huge amount of potential for interactions between code and magick. And anyways I’ve been wanting to learn to code for a while and Processing’s visual approach is really appealing to me so I’ve been fooling around with that a bit.
tchnmncr ‘s blog has been a really inspiring read on the subject of the intersections between technology, new media, and magick
Favourite Curse Ingredients
Curse practicing witches of Tumblr, I’m curious… What’s your favourite ingredient to throw into a curse?
belladonna, to expose the bitter underlying false sweetness and twist their own words to bind them
Cigarette ashes, to burn the happiness within their lives.
my spit. to fucking destroy them
Cinnamon, because have you ever gotten that shit in your eyes?
No shade (but yes shade) to people who reblog emoji spells on Tumblr and then get super surprised when it works. Like??? Adding tags relevant to the “spell” isn’t magick. Emojis aren’t magick. Cyber magick isn’t a thing??? I feel like the witch ancestors are just shaking their heads right now. Like “yo, I burned at the stake so these fools can meme and call it mystical? Send some demons after they ass see how their lil emojis save them then.” Again, sorry (not sorry) for being bitchy but really? I can’t take a witch seriously if they take cyber “magick” seriously. Shit’s a mockery of what witches actually do tbh
you realize tech magic has been an actual thing since the 90s when computers and the internet started to get more popular? like this isnt some new thing?? magic and witchcraft arent static, they change and adapt with the times and saying this shit that tech magic isnt valid is super harmful
i totally respect your opinion and this isnt me trying to convince you to adopt emoji magic into your pratice but dont shit on other witches like this.. and as for “witch ancestors”, they died centuries ago and their pratice was probably radically different from anything in the books today, also they probably didnt even call themselves witches but i understand your argument
ya maybe because our ancestors didnt have computers??? i agree emoji magick is shit, thats my personal opinion and i’d never use tech magick cuz im not feelin it but it works for other witches???? maybe not everybody wants to follow a more nature related craft and technology works just fine for them
i never got the hang of it, but that dont mean its not valid lmao
Can we all collectively agree to stop being assholes about how others practice when they're not hurting anyone or being appropriatve? Please? I'm so tired of everyone being told by everyone else that they're "not a real witch" because they XYZ instead of PQR. Just stop.

Spiritual Block
We’ve all been there. You want to do something, you want to write something, you want to make something… But you can’t. You can’t feel it. You can’t see it. You can’t hear it. You just feel disconnected and anxious. I get a lot of asks from people who ask how to reconnect with gods, spirits, and their craft. They claim things have gone cold, gone quiet, gone silent. So here is a small list of my own suggestions to help with feeling this way.
Get Out
Now a lot of practices aren’t nature based, so I’m going to word this a bit differently than I would if it applied solely to me.
Get out of your everyday space. The space you sleep, you eat, you work. Go for a hike, go see a move, go to a cafe, go to a library, go down the road and just listen to the sounds around you. We isolate ourselves through routine and sometimes we put up walls without realizing it. Look at details, explore, investigate, question. Remember you are more than just a 9-5 job. Remember you are more than just the book you read on warding magic or the overwhelming schoolwork that has been draining your inspiration.
Regroup
Look to what inspires you. Movies, artwork, other practices or crafts and allow yourself time to look through those things. Do not hold yourself to them, or compare yourself to them but rather think about what inspires you about them. What aspects do you admire? Can you incorporate those into your own practices? Can you change them to suit your own style? What can you add to make them your own, and in doing so make them something more to you?
Shuffle a deck of cards and just do a reading. Flip through a book and just read a page. Listen to a song or a playlist and skip around. Find small elements that you can use to build something bigger. Allow yourself space to write, to draw, to record these things however you can. They don’t need to be organized and they don’t need to be “proper” unless of course you’re into that. Just get it down for later when you can look it over and make sense of it all (if there is sense to make).
Fake It
The best way to get over a block is to just keep going. After you’ve gone out and regrouped yourself just take another crack at it. Redo shrines or altars. Reorganize bookshelves and chests of materials. Check dates of herbs and cleanse crystals. Water and cull your plants. Now just do it. Don’t need anything yourself? Look to the many people in this world who need a hand. Do a spell for those who are hungry, those who are scared, those who are hurting. Or likewise do a spell against those who are greedy, those who are suffocating and killing, those who are hindering and disrupting. Do a spell for your own land, your own home, your friends and family members (some people will warn against doing magic without permission but I’ll leave that choice to you). Do a spell for yourself. Clean yourself. Inspire yourself. Harness passion and dedication. Bathe in it. Sing to your gods or your spirits or if you’ve none sing to the spirits who have passed. Turn up the music and dance. Dance for those fighting for clean water, for those fighting for their own land, for those fighting to put food on the table, for those who feel broken and wronged and desperate. It doesn’t have to be any one person or any specific people. It is still valid and is still worth doing.
Enjoy
Do what you enjoy. At the end of the day why pursue something if you aren’t enjoying it?
I mean this in a light sense. A lot of people chose this path for other reasons and many have made vows and promises but ultimately why stay if you aren’t enjoying any aspect of this? A duty? A responsibility? Maybe. But for those of us who don’t have those don’t feel restricted and restrained.
Do what you love.
If you love making wards. Make them.
Already have enough? Make some for other people. Make some for the forest. The library. Local soup kitchens.
Like writing spells? Share them. Write as many as you like. Like constructing rituals? Leaving offerings? Writing poems? Simply being around herbs and crystals and bones? Do that. Surround yourself.
There doesn’t always have to be a reason. Or be a need. You can just do. Don’t let your mind overthink something that is in essence just an action.
For me, witchcraft is an impulse and is sporadic. I do it when I feel I should. And I have found you do not need a reason to do it. I hope you can shake those cobwebs from your head and pursue what you enjoy.
*(Disclaimer) Some people may feel their own craft is sacred or very strict and serious. This post is very obviously not directed towards your own particular situation. Please do not apply this post to your own craft if you don’t think it is applicable. This is a personal post of a public format being shared with the sole intention of helping those in similar situations. Curseshamers are tiresome and boring. I’ll spare everyone else the trouble, “Not everyone follows the ‘rules’ and ‘laws’ you do so don’t apply them to other people”. Lastly permission and it’s place in magic is something argued about. This isn’t the post to do that arguing on. If you want to discuss it get your soapbox out and stand on it on your own blog.
Why You Shouldn’t Use imprecise Language When Talking To Entities
[updated] This is extremely important, and I don’t see this point expanded upon enough. So here it goes;
imprecise language is an all around bad idea. You should always speak as plainly as possible when talking to entities. People often bring the symbolism of our society and use it to sound cooler, smarter, and all around better when doing witchery. The people who hear your statements are usually not from our society, and have no grasp on the meaning you’re trying to get across. It causes misunderstandings that can have disastrous results.
Heres an example of what i’m talking about: Lets say im a new witch looking for a deity to worship. Having a deity is something I really want and I’m extremely passionate about it. I send out a calling for a good deity to come and give me a sign that they want me to worship them. “good” is just a too plain word for me to use, I mean, i’m calling upon a god(or goddess) afterall! “I wish for a god of the light to come and give me a sign!” I say. WAIT, queue record scratch and freeze frame! I used phrasing that me and my peers would understand(”a god of the light”), but “the light” does not nessecarily mean “benevolence”. Guess who would qualify as a god of the light? Lucifer is who. Having lucifer try to contact you could be extremely upsetting for someone who doesn’t want to associate with lucifer.
Another example would be if I was banishing evil spirits from my home. If I used the phrasing “Spirits of the shadows, leave this household!” instead of “Spirits who wish me harm, leave this household!” I would have, you guessed it, my house almost just as it was before. Spirits of the shadows could mean any nocturnal creature, and wouldn’t necessarily cover malicious spirits at all. See where i’m going with this?
TL;DR: Speak plainly when talking to deities, spirits, and other non-human entities
