Okay, y'all - stop sending me DMs about healing magic and herbal remedies. It's great for some things! Sore throats, coughs, some aches and pains, headaches, trouble sleeping... for stuff like that, essential oils and teas are great! Eucalyptus for me is wonderful for a realizing shower after a really bad anxiety attack. But please, please, there is a difference between using honey to soothe a cough and claiming essential oils are going to replace antibiotics.

Witchcraft isn't going to heal your pneumonia, depression, or cancer.

Herbal teas are not going to stop your surgical incision from getting infected.

Witchy remedies arent going to make your tattoo heal faster than recommended aftercare.

Listen to your doctor, nurse, piercer, or artist.

Take your antibiotics, antidepressants, and prescriptions.

And stop telling people that tea and tonics are going to cure them. You are not their specialist!

This is a very pro-medicine blog! Take your medicine! Go to a clinic!

And for the last fucking time: honey tea is good for sore throats but medication is for step throat!

Witchcraft isn't going to magically heal you. It's just not. Some things are beyond the effect of spells and incantations.

If you don't agree, I don't have time for you. Block me. Or even better, comment, and I'll block you. I don't want your bullshit on my page. There are baby witches here who are learning and easily influenced and I will not have them influenced by the likes of you.

Baby witches: do not listen to those who think 100% of human ailments can be cured herbally and magically. That is false. Take care of yourself at all costs and don't listen to that. Listen to your specialists, doctors, and psychologists, especially if you have mental illnesses since those seem to be targeted most.

This has been a very frustrated and aggressive public service announcement.

GRIMTALK - Week 11

GRIMTALK was a project that I finished a few months ago in which each week I would post a picture of my Grimoire. The aim of this project was to motivate myself to dedicate time to work on my grimoire each week. 

Even though I have officially finished the project, I thought I would show you this entry in my grimoire in which I describe each rune of the Elder Futhark in detail (including their variants and meanings).

Below are pictures of the different regional variants of the Elder Futhark and other Futharks which often get confused with the Elder Futhark.

Variations of the Elder Futhark

All but three of the characters of the Elder Futhar are the same height. However Kenaz, Jera, and Ingwaz are all ‘irregular’ and so later runemasters objected to these irregularities and modified the runes to conform. The resulting variants of the Elder Futhark (pictured below) have been inscribed on various pieces of jewellery and stone. Most of the differences in the order and shape of the runes is often attributed to the personal style (like each person has different handwriting) or even mistakes of the original runemasters who inscribed them.

The Anglo-Saxon Futhork

The Danish Younger Futhark

Excuse the handwriting but here’s a very quick keyword guide to elder futhark from my own grimoire! Have seen some bad rune symbolism recently so thought I would try and help clear up some confusion! See @stormbornwitch ‘s blog for more excellent resources!

In many ways, women are death’s natural companions. Every time a woman gives birth, she is creating not only a life, but a death. Samuel Beckett wrote that women “give birth astride of a grave.”

I love that zing in your bones you get when you hear the first rumble of thunder. It’s like something inside you is waking up.

I just want to have a small house in the mountains, plant vegetables, care about my animals, be a witch and spend time in my own library. Am I really asking for too much?
