🌈🌟Metaphysical Color Meanings🌟🌈

Colors are one of THE MOST under appreciated aspects in both the physical and metaphysical realm. We’re surrounded by colors, yet we choose to ignore their meanings and uses in both magickal work (spells, rituals, etc.) and even in every day life. You can use colors to promote the qualities you wish to emphasize; use them in your surroundings if you wish to emphasize permanently, or wear a certain color to emphasize those qualities in a certain situation. Here are some basic colors, and if you have any more, please feel free to add on!! 🌈

Disrespecting the old Gods??? In my good Pagan household???

I think the fuck not

[laylawolfwind]

List of essential oils and kitchen oils toxic to cats. Most of these are quite common so clean up thouroughly after yourself and make sure windows are open! Also avoid burning/diffusing these oils in excess around your furry friends!!

On the Subject of Persephone’s Duality

“I’m a sensible, god-fearing woman.”

“I thought you were a Pagan?”

“I never specified which god.”

“Oh, so Hades, right?”

“There are much scarier things than Hades. Nyx, the primordial and territorial night. Echidna, mother and protector of monsters. Thanatos, the true god and master of death. Hades is the glorified babysitter of dead souls, the accountant of the dead.

Hades, who pines so desperately for his beloved wife that he ceded most governing power to her to better worship her presence. Hades who grieves her absence and cannot bear to temper the delicate knife through the ribs that is her temper.

Why would you waste your fears on Hades when there’s a much more terrifying denizen seated beside him? Hades’ polished obsidian smacks of authority, at first imposing itself over hers in your gaze. But you find your eye inexplicably pulled to a throne of woven branches, subtle thorns peeking through the dead bark. She has crafted this chair from the remnants of friends long dead at her own selfish hand.

Persephone, whose very name means Destroyer, who bears the face of a naive maiden and the eyes of a seasoned hunter. There’s something sharp and wicked in her gaze that belies a secret hunger, and she has been known to rain suffering and wrath onto those she deems deserving of it. Her rewards are generous but her punishments harsh in equal measure.

She lures you in with her soft curves and soft laugh and makes you comfortable in her home, and if you should displease her she will kill you there. She bears the reputation of innocence and wonder and a lesson to all young girls - you must be crafty and clever to have your hearts’ desire in a world of men.

Persephone is ambition cleverly hidden to protect it. She is the rage and turmoil of a harsh winter, the cold frost on delicate petals that doesn’t kill but wounds severely, the crisp slice of autumn air across your cheeks that reminds you winter is coming. She has power and control she need not bother to reveal. Why would you waste time and breath fearing anyone else?”

tips for walking in an abandoned graveyard

if it’s dark, don’t shine your flashlight into the trees.

if a child approaches and asks you a question, don’t tell the truth.

you may find some harrowing artifacts (i found a ribbon on a tree and some bible pages) pick these up and keep them. they belong to you.

if you walk down a long, straight pathway, you will feel someone behind you. don’t look

you may see people in your peripheral vision; these are the spirits. they won’t hurt you.

if you wish to communicate with the spirits, do not do it alone. cast a protection circle. only ask polite questions.

you will feel bursts of dread and terror. ignore them.

don’t read too much into what the graves say. some things are best left unsolved.

research the history of the graveyard beforehand. you need to know what you might encounter.

some beings may not want you to leave. should you come into contact with one of these beings, leave immediately.

don’t read the hidden graves.

if you find a headless angel statue, don’t look for her head.

if you find a tipped over angel statue, leave her be. she’s only resting.

don’t listen to music. this will distract you from them.

don’t look in the bushes. you will find something that you weren’t supposed to.

Dollar Store Witchcraft

Dollar store candles are the best, and I absolutely adore them! Tealights, votives, tapers, jar candles, etc are all at dollar stores. Electric candles are also good choices for people who can’t have things burning.

Incense is also a popular find at dollar stores now. To avoid buying an incense burner, I fill a jar or cup with rice and place burning sticks inside.

Buy a letter opener! It can be used as a cheap athame, and it can look really nice if you wrap twine around the handle ;)

Some dollar stores sell cute teeny-tiny wine glasses. These make great chalices!

Use fake flowers to decorate your altar.

Buy little bowls to use as offering dishes.

Fragrance oils can make lovely gifts to deities. They can also work as consecration or blessing oils if needed.

Little dollar store notebooks can be decorated to be used for grimoires/ books of shadows.

The air freshening sprays can be used to cleanse and area (especially if they have corresponding scents)

On the Fae--from my family tradition

Disclosure! This is based on the stories I heard from my family growing up! It is a very “family tradition” telling of ways to deal with the Fae. Mind you, my whole family passes down two things “very important” about the Fae, and then a bunch of tid-bit stuff. 1.) We have fae in our blood line (but who has family from a Celtic or Germanic nation and hasn’t heard that?) and 2.) Fae, of any court, will trick you just to see if they can, so always be careful.

Having said that, this is a quick list of things I was taught about dealing with the Fae

The Fae are tricksters. They can not lie (on pain of death) but they will do everything in their ability to trick you, because it’s a game.

Do NOT eat or drink anything the Fae offer you. If you ingest anything from their world you can’t leave, because the magic of the world will snare you.

Some Fae are flat our evil. Some enjoy hurting people, and do it for fun.

The Seelie court is not the “good” court, just the court of illusion and glamour

The UnSeelie court is not the “evil” court, just the court of shadows and intrigue

Not all Solitary Fae were banished from a court, some chose to leave. Not all Solitary Fae were banished for being “evil”, but some simply for refusing to follow directions from a higher ranking Fae, or for failing to conform to the “rules” of the court.

The Slough is The Host, The Wild Hunt….they hunt down betrayers, oath-breakers, liars, thieves, and the like, and execute them. While the Slough is not evil, they are strict, and frightening.

Fae in your garden is good luck

You can leave the Fae offerings to promote a peaceful relationship. If you’re useful, then you’re likely to be left alone 

Do not dance with the Fae, because you’ll become enspelled and dance till you die

Do not step through a fairy ring, it’s easier to get into their world than it is to get out.

Do not go seeking out ways to see Fae who wish to remain invisible. They want to be left alone for a reason, and can/may very well take your sight if you can see through their illusions

To invite Fae who wish to be seen, leave honey, milk, or fresh bread by your garden

Wear iron to keep a Fae from being able to grab you

Hang iron above a childs crib to keep Fae from trading them out with a changling

Let your children play with the Fae they see, so as not to offend the Fae, but never let them follow them

Don’t play with water Fae, they don’t understand you need air to breath and live

Don’t share blood with a Fae. They can enspell you if you give them your blood or hair

Don’t use your full name when dealing with the Fae. Names have power, and if they learn your full name they can have power over you

Mirrors do not reflect a Fae’s glamour perfectly, you can tell a Fae among mortals because their reflection will look “off”

taurotrickster knotted-vines am I forgetting anything?
