i think what’s wrong with me is that i don’t live secluded in a cottage in the woods. i don't have a personal secret library. i don’t bang enough rocks against enough things. i just haven’t forged any swords

Power of spoons

☽ When a spoon falls to the ground it's a sign of visitors.

Small spoon then the visitor is either a child or naive.

Soup spoon then get ready for a hole family

Serving spoon the someone very important is coming

☽ The way that it falls is also important.

Facing up is a good omen

Facing down means that they bring disagreements

Sideways means they bring a surprise

Sometimes, the message comes not in cards, or runes, or black mirrors.

Sometimes the message comes in warmth when there was none, and pleasant company over for a cup of tea when you were alone.

Yes, I was unable to invoke and meditate for several hours like I had planned but I do believe one shouldn't shirk the small fleeting moments in life.

I need help with banishing or binding spells (tw; emotional abuse)

essentially I need to either banish my mother’s negativity or bind it so it cannot effect us, but I don’t want it to potentially create a severing of ties considering I still live with her. 

She’s paranoid by our neighbours, any movement outside, anything that could potentially be seen as a threat is a threat to her and she will come in while I’m in online lectures to tell me about how so and so is outside talking & they might be talking about us, or how there’s a car pulled up nearby that she doesn’t recognise and it could be anything from unmarked police to drug dealers or god knows. As someone with Generalised Anxiety Disorder, she is the root of a majority of my fear and why I’m so cautious around others. Due to my upbringing with her, I need to know what is going on and what is going to happen at every turn least I panic. I’ve been working with a lot of coping mechanisms and shadow work to break down these panics and rationalise what is going on, but she is consistently pulling me 2 steps back when I’ve just taken a step forward in tackling my GAD symptoms.  So I need some help in the magical corner of things, as trying to set up boundaries with her is impossible as she believes me to be the only reliable person in her life that she can talk to despite the fact I’ve told her - in tears mostly - many times that her using me as free therapy or gossip dumping is severely damaging. She believes that because I am her child, she is entitled to my time and emotional labour in holding her together.  I can’t do it anymore.  I’ve thought about setting up a couple of charms to either place near her bedroom door so her negative energy becomes trapped in her own space rather than allowing it to enter into mine, or warding my bedroom and the living room so she cannot infect it with her negativity but I don’t know if that might cause some internal issues for her and creating a vector for destruction in her space.  Gods I dunno. Any advice is welcomed (besides the usual ‘just move’ line, because I’m not that privileged)

If you are a Christian that wants to host a Passover seder this year:

1) Don’t. It’s appropriative and gross.

2) Still don’t.

3) Jesus never participated in the type of seder that Jews have today. He lived (if he existed as described in your Christian holy books) during the Second Temple Era of Judaism, when worship was Temple-focused and ritual sacrifice was a key facet of the holiday. The modern seder takes most of its traditions from rabbinic Judaism, which was not the Judaism of Jesus.

4) Don’t do it. Don’t. No, there is no good reason for you to do it.

5) Given the Christian antisemitic violence traditionally inflicted on the Jews during this time of year (the lead up to Easter), it is EXTRA awful for Christians to try and appropriate our traditions related to Passover.

6) Don’t. Pesach is our holiday, and our religion is a semi-closed practice. Don’t appropriate our stuff. Don’t make our stuff about Jesus.

7) There are no exceptions to the rule that Christians should not host Passover seders.

Hope this helps.

Tea Correspondences

White, green, oolong, and black tea all come from the same plant (camellia sinensis) but are separated by how oxidized they are.

A lot of ‘tea correspondence’ lists make associations based on the *color* of the tea, rather than by the oxidation cycle. Correspondences are quite personal, of course, but as somewhat who quite likes tea I think there can be deeper meaning beyond the color. I associate the four types of teas and other four step cycles: ages, time of day, elements, seasons. I’ve also included the health benefits of each type of tea. Green Tea: Childhood • Morning • Earth • Spring.  All tea starts out green. Green tea is not oxidized. Nature, health and growth. Interferes with the growth of cancers; prevents clogging of the arteries, burn fat, counteracts oxidative stress on the brain, reduces risk of neurological disorders, reduces risk of stroke, and improves cholesterol levels.

White Tea: Youth • Afternoon • Air • Summer.  White tea is 1-10% oxidized. Cleanliness, purity and simplicity. The most potent anticancer properties compared to more processed teas. Good for skin.

Oolong Tea: Maturity • Evening • Water • Autumn. Oolong tea is 10-85% oxidized. Stability, balance, and variety. Lowers cholesterol levels.

Black Tea: Old Age • Night • Fire • Winter.  Red tea (known as black tea in the west) is 100% oxidized. Rationality, formality, and energy. Protects lungs from damage caused by exposure to cigarette smoke, reduces the risk of stroke.

The new moon occurs when the sun and moon are aligned. At this phase, from our perspective on Earth, the dark side of the moon is facing us, as none of its side is illuminated by the sun. This is the first phase of the lunar cycle.

✨ Focus: clean slate, new beginnings, fresh starts, hope, openness  

🔮 Mantra: “I am strong, I am powerful, I am calm, I can do anything”

🕯️ Self-care prompts and rituals:

Create a new playlist with music that inspires you.

Tidy your home and reset the energy in your space.

Take care of your house plants and/or your garden.

It's a good time to start a new project or build a new habit.

Designate a new space for your project, or clean-up your desk.

Plan for a new activity that you've been willing to try.

Start a journal to write about your new journey.

Read inspirational quotes.

Take a close friend out to lunch and share your ideas and dreams.

Change your bed sheets and pillowcases.

Go somewhere you’ve never visited before.

Rainbow Water???

Okay, so I realized something today. I always see posts detailing the various correspondences of different types of water. Moon water, sun water, eclipse water, rain water, storm water, snow water, even *dew* water. Water from a lake, a river, an ocean, a stream, a brook. Even water collected from mist.

But y'all know what I haven’t seen?

Rainbow water.

So hold on to your seats yall because I’m about to take ya on a ride.

Rainbow water is something I use quite often in my craft. Why? Because it’s got so many uses! I use it for:

LBGTQ+ spells

Spells for positivity

Spells for luck

Spells for change

Spells for perserverance

Spells for hope

Spells for connection (I call them “bridge spells”)

Spells for happiness

Spells for creativity/imagination

Honestly, I have no idea why I haven’t seen rainbow water being mentioned before. It can’t be because it’s too difficult to collect because, y'all,

You can make your own rainbows. You don’t have to wait for one to show up in the sky.

Observe:

That right there is a bona fide rainbow that i created with nothing but a hose on the mist option and natural sunlight. Get yourself a pretty (or ugly) bottle with a wide mouth and you can very easily make your own rainbow water!

“But wait, Eiolrin, what if I don’t have a hose?”

Nothing to fear. I’ve got your back. You can also collect rainbow water by:

Shine a light through a prismatic crystal, then placing a bottle of regular water in the rainbow that’s created. Just like making sun/moon water! You don’t need to put it in the rainbow for more than maybe 1-5 minutes.

Get a plastic spray bottle that mists and spray the mist into natural sunlight until you find a rainbow. Hold bottle against the rainbow and *keep misting*.

Hell, you know what? Who needs an *actual* rainbow?

Draw a rainbow. Print out a picture of a picture of a rainbow. This rainbow is in my grimoire in the form of a magic circle (enchantment circle) and i’ve imbued it with the energy of a rainbow. I use this to make rainbow water sometimes.

So go forth and conquer, my lovelies! Be the witch/mage/occultist that uses rainbow water! Spread this around and make sure this is something that becomes a thing because in my opinion, rainbow water is just too useful to be ignored as a valid component in spells and other things.

As a bonus, here’s my rainbow water!
