Scientists had a pigeon, hawk, and owl fly over super-sensitive microphones to measure how much sound was created by their flapping. Owls are known for their silent flying abilities and this is demonstrated by the barn owl in the GIF above. Watch the video

How to use RINGS being a witch
A Note On Grounding
All things in nature are neutral. Nothing is “good”, nothing is “bad”.
A spider that bites you is not a “bad” spider, just as with a bee that stings you. A wolf that hunts a rabbit is not a “bad” creature. Fire is not a “bad” element. These things just “are”.
Now, consider how you react to these things: Do you crush the spider when it lands on you or do you appreciate its beauty? Do you crush the bee when it lands on you or do you thank it for its hard work and let it fly on? Do you fear the wolf because it kills or do you respect its will to survive? Do you steer clear of fire because of its destructive capabilities or do you appreciate its life-giving flame? If so, you are applying your own interpretations to these otherwise “neutral” forces. (This is not to say that you cannot have a real and crippling fear of these things, because let’s face it: we regularly do. But your fear of them does NOT make them “bad” things. Your love of them does not make them “good”, either.)
All magick, be it “black/dark/bad” or “white/light/good” begins as “neutral”. All of it, in its purest form, is neutral energy, set with your personal intentions. If your intentions are PURE negative or PURE positive, that will be your result. (Think back to the neutral bee: was it doomed the moment it landed on you because of your negative views of it, or did you appreciate the brief company because of your positive views of it?) For the purest intent, you should begin your practice (be it for a negative outcome or a positive outcome) with NEUTRAL energy.
This is why it is SO important to ground yourself before and after practicing any form of witchcraft. By doing so, you are allowing nature to “neutralize” any positive or negative energies you carry within you so that you can apply your own, specific intentions to your craft each time you practice.
Neglecting to ground yourself prior to practicing can lead to lethargy, a muddled aura, tangled energies, non-pure intentions, and generally poor outcomes.
Neglecting to ground yourself after practicing can leave you feeling heavy and buzzing with all sorts of energies that are not part of your baseline, which can be quite draining and can affect your surroundings, often negatively.
Ground yourself with a simple meditation: take slow, deep breaths focusing on the inhale and the exhale, and envision your body connecting with the Earth below you, the sky above you, and the natural elements around you. Do not begin or end a session until you feel your energy has once again calmed to the level of the Earth around you.
How do you, uhm, mix????? Your religion with your witchcraft???? Asking bc Im catholic too:)
It comes a lot more fluidly than you’d expect. Catholicism is basically witchcraft already, just feat. God.
I still Light saint candles, use Rosary beads, burn incense, go to Mass, etc. Only now I focus on my intent rather than just focusing on appeasing God which is all church felt like to me. It’s kinda like practicing witchcraft through a Catholic Lens, if that makes sense. As a point of clarification, I define my craft as Brujería but for cultural translation say things like “Witchcraft” or call myself a “Catholic witch” which are both kinda misnomers for what my practice truly is, but work to share the gist of it.
I use Catholicism as a framework for my craft, then apply traditions from my family (like cleansings, mediumship, bibliomancy, Saint work). I incorporate (some) European herbal associations however, most come from traditional medicine in my area and curanderismo teachings.
Practicing Brujería has allowed me to step out of those Christian norms that were beaten into me in catholic school 😂. I step away from the stigma of the church and I choose to toss out its outdated ideals. I got to have a personal relationship with the divine, on my own terms, and at a comfortable pace, because I chose this path.
Brujería has been enlightening, empowering, and only serves to enhance my religious and spiritual beliefs.
💕 Thanks for the ask
Maybe I’m stuck as the person I am and now matter how hard I try to heal and fix myself nothing will ever really change.

I’m not black but I am Mexican. And I have curly hair.... so I’ll be sharing this
So this is a thing that happened…
Christian Day, a pagan writer and store owner, sent me this love letter after outing my account name on Facebook. Like many people who have an alias on facebook, I have a rather good reason for doing so. (I have a Meatspace stalker, who use to mail me bits of dead things, and threaten my children, because he wanted me to bear only HIS children. It was a living nightmare that I lived for over six months.) Alas… I was not very happy with Mr. Day for this, and told him so.
This screenshot shows his response.
You are not misreading that. He actually said “…if he rapes you, please call out my name while he does.”
Facebook has been less than helpful during all this… As a matter of fact, they have sided with HIM, yanking my post with this screenshot on it, and putting my account on a 24 hour hold for “Harassment.” of Mr. Day.
I have… No real game plan at this point, other than not allowing this to go unseen by the many Pagans on the web. I have had such an outpouring of support from my friends and the general pagan community on facebook that it honestly made me cry. On another note, I have had to un-relax, knowing my stalker is still out there and can find me now. But, I will not back down. This shit IS NOT OK for our so called “Pagan Leaders” to do.
Rock on my Beauties… Pass this along if you wish, repost it everywhere, and let us not allow this “Man” to have a moment peace until he answers for what he has done.
Dear followers, please reblog this. I want it to spread like wildfire. This guy is a real “Big Name Pagan” a famous published author, and he spent months bullying, harassing and threatening my godmother and her daughter over facebook. He owns a franchise shop here in New Orleans, and has systematically been trying to sow seeds of distention among local witches and their shops in order to cripple competition. He’s blatantly (racistly) disrespected our local Voodoo community on the radio saying that you shouldn’t have to go to Haiti to get initiated because it’s a “dirty place”. If you see his so-called “apology” don’t buy the hype. He is openly sexist, racist and classicist. This is not the first time he’s done something like this, he is not sorry. He needs to be held responsible for his actions.
This is fucking sick.
foresthoney:
He owns two shops, Hex and Omen. HEX is in both Salem, MA and New Orleans, LA and Omen is just in Salem, MA. Avoid him like the plague he is and don’t let him or the people he associates with profit off you (they, Laurie Cabot groupies, own shops in Salem too).
Christian’s at it again.
He threatened to kill a nearby shop owner’s dog (Pumpkin from New England Magic who is ADORABLE) a few years ago out of a nasty feud with the owner, who is SO SWEET! Of course he denied it.
His boyfriend Brian is just as sick when it comes to people who support Lori Bruno (that fucking feud…oh my GOD. Don’t even get me STARTED on that).
Now…this.
He’s a media whore…He actually said this to me. He has no problem admitting this to me. He knows how to cause controversy because “Well, bad publicity is still publicity…The Wicked Witch will still fly!”
This is why I can’t stand Salem now. This sick bullshit.
Seriously, avoid Crow Haven Corner (my experience with this place written about here), Hex, Omen, and Enchanted (my experience written about here) They’re all closely linked with one another because of their relationships with Laurie Cabot.
Bringing this back as a reminder
Yuck. What a vile creature.
Signal boost like hell! We need to hold dangerous and shitty members of our community accountable for their actions. This asshole is actively putting people and their loved ones in danger for no other reason than he can. Spread the word if you can stand to have this on your blog (no judgment). Speak out against people buying his books or patronizing his shops. Don’t let him get away with this kind of behavior.
this is disgusting holy shit
So disgusting.
The fuuuuuuck?
Internet do you thing... Universe may we return all actions done by Crow Haven Corner, Hex Omen, and Enchanted, with any close links due to their relationships with Laurie Cabot times the existential creation it time, life, and the universal magic for any of those that are suffering, traumatized, paranoid, dealing with such interactions that these groups may define as just and right in their minds. May they get what is theirs. Blessed be, as above so below.
In Aztec mythology, Coatlicue (”she with serpent skirts”) is the mother of the 400 stars in the sky, and one daughter, Coyolxauhqui (”she with bells on her cheeks”). When Coatlicue becomes pregnant illegitimately (by touching a tuft of hummingbird feathers - this sort of stuff happens a lot in Mesoamercan mythos), her children become both embarrassed and enraged. But none more so than her daughter, Coyolxauhqui. Together with her 400 brothers, she launches an attack on her mother, but it is foiled when her mother’s unborn son Huitzilopochtli (”the hummingbird on the left”) springs forth from her womb, armed for battle.
Huitzilopochtli dismembers Coyolxauhqui, and flings her head into the sky where it becomes the moon, so that her mother might look upon her always.

How can I keep myself healthy and safe?
From a personal perspective, I’d already gone on a bit of a health kick a few weeks back, which has meant trying to eat healthily (lots of fruit and veggies), exercising regularly, and quitting smoking and drinking (yes I do recognise the hypocrisy of being a doctor who occasionally smoked!).
I think one of the best things you can do during this time is to quit smoking or vaping because smokers are more at risk of respiratory infections. I wrote a little tweet-guide as to how I did it.
Vitamin C has been shown to help stave off the common cold. In general, I’d suggest you make sure you’re eating healthily. You can get natural sources of vitamin C, which include citrus fruits, kiwi, and broccoli.
Zinc has also been shown to be beneficial for colds. Natural sources of zinc include pumpkin seeds, dark chocolate, and chickpeas.
If you’re eating a sufficiently varied diet, then you won’t necessarily need to take oral multivitamin tablets. However, as we’ll all be indoors more, we may find that we benefit from a vitamin D supplement (which we usually get from the sun).
If you’re living in an area where you can still go outside, then walks can be good for your physical and mental health. Try to maintain a good distance from others, and wash your hands for 20 seconds—especially when you get back home. As we still don’t have all the information about how long COVID-19 remains in the air, if you’re particularly at risk, I would perhaps advise staying at home.
I know COVID-19 is really scary; make sure you’re taking the right precautions, but also be sure to try and spend some time every day doing things you enjoy and taking your mind off the virus. My friend has put together a guide to ensuring good mental health at this time:

🌀 Energetic Healing; Waterbending Style 🌀
A method of healing inspired by Katara, and other waterbending healers. It is as close to my heart as this show is. Below are two ways I use this method ~
In the Bath ~
🌀 This method is best used for self healing
🌀 Create your own “spirit water” by adding amethyst, moon water & healing herbs to your bath. I like to use rosemary and bay leaves.
🌀 Lay back, and close your eyes.
🌀 Visualize yourself in the water. Picture a ray of light scanning back and forth over you, like above.
🌀 As it sweeps over you, visualize it to removing any negativity.
🌀 Sometimes I notice it get “stuck” on a certain area, or start to move slowly. This usually indicates a blockage. Focus on those areas a little more intently.
🌀 When you are finished, stand up, and do one last sweep, downwards. Imagine the water droplets falling off of you are the last of your negativity.
🌀 As the bath empties, all negative build-up goes with it.
Healing Yourself & Others ~
🌀 This method is done purely with visualization and moon water, specifically charged with the intent to heal. It can also be done in the astral.
🌀 Place the moon water in a bowl in front of you. Bonus: drop a piece of quartz in to amplify it’s effects. An infusion like the one used in the first method can be used as well.
🌀 Visualize the water rising up out of the bowl and surrounding your hands, like Katara does.
🌀 Now, like the first method, start scanning. Run your hands over yourself or your client, searching for blockages. (If you already know the area you’d like to heal, you can skip this step.)
🌀 As your hands work back and forth across the area you are healing, visualize the water sweeping through, washing away any negative or stagnant energy.
🌀 Allow it to break through any blockages, clearing them.
🌀 When finished, let the water fall back into the bowl, taking all negativity with it. Thank the element, before safely disposing of it.
Things to Consider ~
🌀 Visualization and intent are key. You don’t need to use physical water, I just find it helps.
🌀 Do what feels right to you. Intuition is so important in healing. This method came to me one day while I was soaking in the tub. I instantly connected it to how Katara heals, and built off of that. Since then, the series continues to inspire my methods. I use hand movements often while doing energy work, so it works for me.
🌀 Healing takes time. It may take a few sessions to really clear away any build-ups or blockages. Be patient with yourself.
Happy Healing!
