[jellyfishdreams]

@staff feel free to think about what you’re actually saying with this ban.

Do people have platforms to freely express their sexuality? Do people truly have platforms to express their bodies? Do sex workers have any space on this World Wide Web that doesn’t either ban them or exploit them? Patreon bans what it deems as “explicit”. Instagram censors and deletes. Twitter mildly tolerates but ultimately also allows hate without letting content owners control it. Porn sites are a mess of stolen content half the time, with a handful of places that allow sex work and support sex workers, but not necessarily photography or related expressions of sexuality.

You have marked yourself as hateful, biased, SWERF equivalent, enemies. You have harmed many of us more than we can find words to express. And how dare you do it on the one day of the year when many try to actually raise awareness and support and honor and remember sex workers and the rights they still struggle to achieve in this hurtful, sex negative world at risk of harm of this caliber and far far worse.

Pocket Altar Checklist

A pocket altar is a small set of items kept in a tin or matchbox that can be used to construct an altar on the go. They can be really useful for practicing whilst away from home, like forest rituals and when on holiday.

Basics:

Matches

a white tealight 

sage

salt - a fast food salt sachet is really convenient 

rosemary

string

clear quartz

a pentacle - this can be on a scrap of paper

a handkerchief - both aesthetic and practical

a vial of moonwater - I keep mine in an empty Vaseline tin

empty sachets

My Essentials:

citrine

amethyst

rose quartz

tiger’s eye

small shell - to represent water

piece of moss - to represent nature

sugar - a coffee shop sachet is again, really convenient 

protection bottle - keeps me secure whilst im travelling

mini pad of post-it notes - for sigils

home-blend tea - I usually bring a small sachet of home-blended tea that I usually charge with intent. 

Other Suggestions: 

essential oils 

favourite crystals

favourite herbs

acorns and other seeds or stones

empty containers 

I really hope this helps you guys to make your own pocket altars!

In Conclusion by Emily Carroll (extract from the graphic novel Through the Woods by Emily Carroll) 

[dappermouth]

Aries: The electric air of a far-off storm calls you to fields draped in dusk, and black clouds heaped tall on the horizon fill you with terrible longing for something you feel but cannot know—a fearful devotion to a place without shape, a love that burns with no name.

Taurus: Before sleep, strange memories bubble up–a buzzing cicada night where you pant and push onward, pacing low to the ground behind an empty schoolyard, air thick with the smell of snapped weeds and animal hair, the wail of a distant train. You aren’t sure what belongs to you there.

Gemini: Sleep doesn’t come like it used to, and the late air hangs heavy with the smell of wet leaves and slow decay. It presses on you, a blanket of forest that fills your lungs. Driving at night, you see deer in every shadow, bounding away into the trees, always away.

Cancer: Deep in the woods, a sheet hangs suspended above a dry riverbed–a cloth that moves like translucent flesh over the stones and bends the light away. A voice calls from the other side, and a dozen thin hands reach out for you behind the veil, to cradle you, to bring you home again.

Leo: When the day becomes unbearable, seek refuge in the absence of light. Your head comes alive in the dark, a menagerie of sound, filled with beating wings and unfurling green. Look into a mirror and see yourself, unfamiliar and intruded upon, a wild animal watching you through your own eyes.

Virgo: A heart shifts beneath your skin–a sleeping thing turning over, restless in its final dream. You’ll become something new on the night that it wakes, and when someone calls out your name through the woods, searching, the sound will be lost beneath the roar of the crickets, forgotten at last.

Libra: You’ll find it lying on warm pavement in the black of night, an inscrutable god whose head curls back as it returns to the ground. It will speak its final prayer to you through the sizzling static and swaying powerlines, warped and guttural with grief. Stay until the air goes quiet.

Scorpio: There is something you’ve forgotten, though it’s not entirely gone. Trying to remember it now brings a sad sort of pain, an aching in your eyes and arms. Let your hands guide you, and find something buried beneath the lake, near the shore–entombed in silt, bones that once were yours.

Sagittarius: Visions tear at the corners of your eyes, peeling back the edges. There’s something just beneath, another place turned back like a hazy reflection, at once familiar and strange. It comes and goes, hitches your breath, leaves you gazing toward a distant mountain that was never there.

Capricorn: In dreams, you hear a language without words, a deep humming from the ground and air around you. You wake to a bitter leaf curled beneath your tongue, and a circlet of grass about your neck. Outside, the world is murmuring, and each sound seems like a voice.

Aquarius: Pillars of white smoke float like phantoms between the trees at dawn, flameless and churning among the leaves. Count them before they fade in the light of day—they are meant as a message, and mark the days until they return for you. Be waiting outside when they arrive.

Pisces: To your eyes, the sky moves faster than it has before, sweeping clouds across the landscape like breakers on the sea. Your blood feels cold, rushed, and the stars streak across the black expanse, like tracers behind headlights, like the world is falling away.

Sexy witch lured me in and made me feel seen and loved and then broke my heart because magick always does that. She was maybe my favorite ever and I only wish I could have thanked her.

And that’s it for now.

[heatherwitch]

I think the reason I enjoy Ghibli so much is it romanticizes the little things. It makes me want to bake, study, clean the house, garden, and more while listening to happy music and occasionally picking wildflowers and lying in the grass. It helps me find joy in day-to-day life and that’s honestly sooo important for my mental health.

[vikawicca-deactivated20181129]

“Seek wisdom in books, rare manuscripts, and cryptic poems if you will, but seek it out also in simple stones, and fragile herbs, and in the cries of wild birds. Listen to the whisperings of the wind and the roar of water if you would discover magic, for it is here that the old secrets are preserved.”

- Scott Cunningham

[renissance]

mythology: persephone, queen of the underworld, goddess of spring 

“Be to her, Persephone, All the things I might not be; Take her head upon your knee. She that was so proud and wild, Flippant, arrogant and free, She that had no need of me, Is a little lonely child Lost in Hell,—Persephone, Take her head upon your knee; Say to her, “My dear, my dear, It is not so dreadful here.

This guy might be able to compete with my blue dragon in terms of bling. I just kept adding layers of lace and plants (I made the lunaria/coin plant from scratch cutting and painting interfacing fabric… because this is how much I dig those seedpods but the dried, genuine kind is much too fragile to put on a wearable mask)

“The language of birds is very ancient, and like other ancient modes of speech, very elliptical; little is said, but much is meant and understood.”

— Gilbert White, from Letter XLIII, Selborne, 9 September 1778, The Natural History of Selborne (1789)

my final work for mermay - the colored-in version of the gibson girl mermaid I drew a few weeks back!

[thirdchildart]

“Wary, Hades knew he should regret this day of hasty decisions. But she was warm. And sweet. And light. He stood, bowing low, bidding his new queen good night. To his surprise, Persephone cupped his face in her rough hands and kissed the Lord of Darkness lightly on the left temple. Under her lips, white stars blossomed in his hair for only a moment. They wilted and fell. And he fell.”

— The Illustrated Hades and Persephone, Megan C. Lloyd (via thirdchildart)
