NEW BOOK INCOMING
Are you tired of booktok whitewashing and brain rotting your favorite tropes? Are you wanting something heartbreaking with decent writing and absolutely no tiktok language??? psst spoiler THERES NO BETRAYAL OR LOVE TRIANGLES!! Do you want a Indigenous FMC AND MMC??? I present to you my latest horrible idea! After her mother was taken from their home to help stop the fertility issues ongoing in the kingdom she bared only one child. A beautiful baby girl, Our story follows this young girl as she is torn between two worlds. Her mother secretly tells her the truth of her life ruining her idea of her father and kingdom she calls home. She learns of her people across the sea, their culture, and how her mother was stolen from them. Her true home is thousands of miles away. Will she be able to figure out this struggle of being native and also the kings daughter? Which home will she choose? And who is this man who kidnapped her to get revenge at her father??? obviously theres magic, this story is very real and very harsh. prepare to be immersed in native culture and experience the mixed native experience of never feeling "native enough". Please understand this book is still in the VERY EARLIEST stages of development. I am still researching things for plot points and figuring out which parts of my culture is able to be written and what cannot. I still dont have a set middle or end. if you are the type to want to be a day 1 enjoyer heres your invite! ill be posting chapters, art, and other content here. but i will also try to end up getting it officially published when finished. Im shooting for 1 book however depending on where I take it, It could be more! BTW THE FMC AND MMC will be in their 20s for majority of the book! do not let her age in the beginning deter you its simply worldbuilding. THIS WILL BE FOR 18+ AUDIENCES but alas A SLOWBURN!
Heya! Long time no talk😆
Idk when this was sent but hiiii !

@judiops
We live in a generation where I feel so misunderstood by parents. They don’t understand my desire to travel and see the world—experience life. Spend my money on making memories and expanding my mind, opening my heart, walking a day in the shoes of others from a totally different place.
I don’t understand how they don’t get that I don’t care for a big fancy house or an expensive car. I want to live. I want to feel. I want to grow. I want to become the best human I can be through experience. Because seeing things and being in an alien place makes you grounded. It increases your understanding and compassion. I want to feel other people, experience them. I want to taste their culture, see what they see. I just don’t get parents sometimes.
But thankful our generation is going to be more compassionate and understanding
How to Do Witchcraft Research for Newbies
Basic search:
Get off Tumblr. (I know, it’s hard.)
Direct your browser to Google.com.
Choose the main keywords of your question. For example, “what is calendula good for in witchcraft?” might be parsed as “calendula witchcraft magickal correspondences”.
Hit enter.
For more in depth research, try these sites:
JSTOR.org, if you have access to it.
Online public library catalogs to find books. (Search your county and “public library.”)
Amazon Kindle. It can be put on your computer for free, there is a Cloud Reader online and a free smartphone app. Filter by price and you can find witchcraft and occult ebooks for free through a few simple searches.
Google Books for the same purpose. (There is a shit ton here, btw, I use it all the time.)
Scribd.com for the same purpose.
Cornell University online witchcraft collection.
Hermetic.com for public domain magick texts.
Sacred-texts.com for all sorts of neat shit.
Alchemy-works.com for magickal lore on plants.
Search your county’s website for weed/plant information to get a list of things growing in your area.
Some tips to aid in research:
Use your browser’s bookmarks.
Use the Amazon wishlist to keep track of titles, or to keep an eye on titles that are occasionally offered for free on Kindle.
Look around on publishers, like LuLu, Immanion Press, etc, for self-published material.
Cross reference with lots of sources to keep on top of the BS.
Take good notes.
Dirty experience/field work is better than reading/book work.
Mkay? After you’ve done all that, come back and ask about what you still can’t find. (Trust me, you’ll find most of it, if not all and more.) You have no fucking excuse to be on Tumblr asking about the basics of paganism or what such and such plant does for witchcraft, or how to summon demons. Harassing people for basic knowledge gets you nowhere. There is so much out there even just online. You do not need the newest, shiniest books by the most popular authors. You do not need to attack people when they tell you to go research on your own. The information is right fucking there. Now go get it.
^^^^^^ THIS!
I don’t mind answering your questions, but why should I go to the effort of explaining the basics when you haven’t gone to the effort of researching it yourself?
Instead of asking “how do I be a witch”, do some of your own research, and come back and ask me “I’ve found some conflicting information on X, and this is what I think. What is your opinion?”
Anything less than that is just laziness.
The Cauldron forum was a pretty good website, too.
i crosschecked correspondences until my eyes bled and made my own personal guide on witchcraft, all by doing research. on my own. i didn’t have to ask anyone anything, so the information is obviously accessible, but no one wants to look anything up on their own.

Organizing a Grimoire
🌹~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~🌹
🍁This isn’t needed, if you prefer the write as you go method that’s fine.
🍁For those of us who prefer to have it organized a table of contents is a must.
🍁Try and plan what your going to write down when. If it helps write down in a notebook or in your book of shadows every idea you can think of putting in your grimoire and number them.
🍁It’s ok if it’s not ‘perfect’ chances are this is your first grimoire so not only is ok its natural to make a few mistakes here and there
🍁Write in pencil if you don’t like crossing out mistakes or using tipex
🍁The key thing to remember is that it doesn’t need to look 'Tumblr perfect’ as long as you understand it

Hey writeblrs
My currently wips
DEADLY: this is about a teen named tyler madej and he kills people. One night he summons a demon on accident and now they have to work together. What happens when something goes wrong and they mess up?
In my arms: this is a series and is action filled and has tons of diversity. Currently I'm on book 1. A teen named Oliver Oakley discovers he likes his friend Theodore Athens. Then he started getting nightmares and headaches. He discovers he is going to make history with two other girls and theo. The four go on a adventure away from the government. Trying to find answers.
Short stories: I do prompts as well. Drabbles as you would call them. But it's just like a mini series with 1-3 main ocs.
All of these can be found on my wattpad! However I will also be publishing them on here or on archive of our own when I get one.

Major Arcana Cheat Sheet
The Fool: The Fool is a very powerful card in the Tarot deck, usually representing a new beginning – and, consequently, an end to something in your old life. The Fool’s position in your spread reveals which aspects of your life may be subject to change. The Fool portends important decisions ahead which may not be easy to make, and involve an element of risk for you. Approach the changes with optimism and care to gain the most positive outcome.
The Magician: The Magician generally associates with intelligent and skillful communicators. His presence in your spread indicates a level of self-confidence and drive which allows you to translate ideas into action. A practical card, the revelations it brings are best applied to the pragmatic and physical aspects of your life, rather then the ephemeral or theoretical. Your success in upcoming ventures in politics or business will likely hinge upon your own strength of will and determination.
The High Priestess: Your identification with the High Priestess suggests you possess inherent good judgment, in the form of strong intuition. She may indicate that reason should take second place to instinct. Your head must trust in the wisdom of your heart for a change. Yet, she is also an aide by nature, and her presence in certain parts of your spread could be indicative of someone close to you coming to your rescue with their own intuition. Intuition is most effective at seeing what is hidden to the senses, so the High Priestess may also come as a warning of concealed facts or influences that are, or will be, important to you.
The Empress: Traditionally associated with strong maternal influence, the presence of the Empress is excellent news if you are looking for harmony in your marriage or hoping to start a family. Any artistic endeavors you are currently associated with are also likely to be more successful, as this card often finds those exposed to strong bursts of creative or artistic energy. That creative energy may not be in the form of a painting or art project, however: This card also suggests a very strong possibility of pregnancy – not necessarily yours, but you might be seeing a new addition to your extended family or the family of a close friend in the near future! This card is a good portent for you and those around you.
The Emperor: Counterpart to the Empress, the Emperor is signifies a powerful influence, generally male in nature. This can also include concepts in your life historically considered masculine, such as leadership and authority, self-discipline, and stability through the power of action. Its positive influences suggest you may be on a path to advancement or promotion, but it can also be neutral. Often a companion to those destined to take on greater responsibility, it may presage change or loss that necessitates you stepping forward to shoulder a greater burden than you have in the past. Whatever the impetus for the change, it indicates you may possess an uncommon inner strength that will compel you act and to lead.
The Hierophant (Pope): Depending on your own nature, the Hierophant can mean very different things. At its root, it represents doctrine, but doctrine can come in the form of teaching and guidance or rigid authority. Where it appears in your spread is also important, as it is most often indicative of your own approach to the moral, religious, and social conventions of the world. Considered wisely, it helps show the path towards fulfillment.
The Lovers: Your first instinct will most likely be to associate this card as representing love, but, much like love, it does not possess a simple nature. Not only does love comes in many forms, but the Lovers may indicate important or difficult choices ahead in your life. This is bad, in that the choices it portends are generally mutually exclusive, paths to two very different futures, but also good, in that it also confirms that at least one of those paths will take you to a good place. As such, if you happen to find it in your spread, you should consider it carefully, but not fear it. It tells a story of difficult choices, likely painful, but that the correct decision and a positive outcome are within your grasp.
The Chariot: You have some hard work ahead of you. It may be resolved quickly, but the Chariot is a powerful card, and the labor you are undertaking will probably trend towards long and difficult. You will quite possibly experience rough roads, long uphill slopes, dead ends, and painful setbacks. A good outcome is only assured if the card is upright, but do not let yourself lose hope: This hard road will instill in you a strength of purpose, the ability to overcome through organization and endurance, and the confidence possessed only by those who have done what they thought they could not. Harnessed correctly, few forces can stand against an individual like that.
Strength: Strength is the rawest form of power, and you possess it in some form. It is a very happy card if you are fighting illness or recovering from injury. As might be suspected, its influence over you, and the use you put it to, can trend towards light or dark. You likely trend towards facing your problems courageously, head-on, and conquering them through perseverance and will. With this ability to overcome life’s obstacles, though, comes the responsibility to control yourself, and it this card may be a warning to take command of your own actions or emotions before they damage you or the people you care about.
The Hermit: There are times in every life, when one must step back and make a careful examination of their situations and decisions. Finding the Hermit in your spread suggests this is just such a time for you. You are in need of a period of inner reflection, away from the current demands of your position. This retreat can be physical, or a search within. Only a deep and honest introspection will lead to a solution, however.
Wheel of Fortune: Symbolic of life’s cycles, the Wheel of Fortune speaks to good beginnings. Most likely, you will find the events foretold to be positive, but, being aspects of luck, they may also be beyond your control and influence. Tend those things you can control with care, and learn not to agonize over the ones you cannot.
Justice: Justice is a very good card to find in your spread if you have acted with kindness and fairness towards other and, especially, if you have been a victim. It is a significant indicator of a positive resolution, although how and what sort will depend on your own experiences. If you have been unfair, abusive, or otherwise shady and immoral in your dealings, though, pay heed. For the unjust, this card is, at best, a dire warning to change your ways before retribution falls upon you, and, at worst, a simple statement that it is already too late. In neutral cases, it may simply be telling you to seek out balance in your life.
The Hanged Man: The Hanged Man can be interpreted in two very different ways. All change is a small kind of death, as the old must die to create the new, and it may simply indicate upheaval or change in your future, perhaps beyond your control, but more likely a decision that, for good or ill, you will not be able to turn back from. The other interpretation is one of sacrifice, although whether this sacrifice is small or great may not be easily interpreted. Both interpretations imply permanence, and that you should give very careful thought to the decisions in your life.
Death: Death is indicative of change in your future. This change can be in almost any aspect of your life, but it will almost certainly be permanent, significant, and absolute. Death suggests a complete severance between the past and the future, and it will likely be painful. Despite the sense of loss that may accompany it, Death fills an important and natural role in life, and leads eventually to acceptance. It is a necessary part of moving forward, and you will find the changes easiest if you embrace them, rather than fight them. Expect the end of a close friendship, a job, a marriage, or even a life, but do not focus too greatly on the negative.
Temperance: An optimistic card, Temperance encourages you to find balance in your life and approach problems with a calm demeanor. It recognizes that opposing forces need not be at war within you. Tread carefully in any major decisions you make, with confidence that good decisions will lead to a good resolution for you.
The Devil: The Devil is in the business of entrapment. It signifies a situation from which there is no escape, or a road leading to one. Forewarning may let you avoid the trap, or it may not. What sort of trap, and how you might avoid it, depends on where the Devil appears in your spread, and what other cards surround it. This card does not foretell doom, only the need for prudence.
The Tower: Dark and foreboding, the Tower is the embodiment of disruption and conflict. Not just change, but the abrupt and jarring movement caused by the unforeseen and traumatic events which are part of life. The Tower in your spread is always a threat, but life inevitably involves tragedy, and you must decide whether you will face it with grace.
The Star: The Star’s presence signifies a period of respite and renewal for you. This renewal may be spiritual, physical, or both. It is a particularly positive sign if you or someone close is recovering from illness or injury. It is a light in the darkness, illuminating your future and your past.
The Moon: Something in your life is not what it seems. Perhaps a misunderstanding on your part, or a truth you cannot admit to yourself. It may also indicate something important being kept from you by another. This may be a source of worry or depression in your life, and the Moon is a strong indicator that you must rely on your intuition to see through the subterfuge.
The Sun: As an inherently good influence, finding the Sun is a positive development. It is suggestive of personal gain, and that personal goals and joy are within reach, if you are willing to invest the effort to actualize them. If you are embarking on a new personal venture, such as marriage or beginning a family, the Sun is of particular influence.
Judgement: Judgment tells a story of transition, but unlike Death or the Tower, it is not sudden change, or born of luck or intuition, but change that springs from reason. It signifies plans, often long in the making, coming to fruition. If it points towards the future, it may also speak towards the nature of the change; if there is a choice that needs to be made, ruminate and let your mind guide the decision. Logic, in this case, is a better guide than intuition. Be prepared to make a major decision in your life, likely one that will shape the next chapter of your life.
The World: The World is an indicator of a major and inexorable change, of tectonic breadth. This change represents a chance for you to bring about a desirable end to the Old and a good beginning to the New. It is indicative of growing maturity, a sense of inner balance and deeper understanding. It suggests that you may be approaching a more final sense of identity, and the security in the self that comes with age. It also represents the falling away of boundaries, sometimes in the effusive sense of the spiritual, but sometimes in a purely physical sense, indicating travels or journeys in the future.

the politics of light and dark are everywhere in our vocabulary…psa to writers: subvert this, reveal whiteness and lightness as sometimes artificial and violent, and darkness as healing, the unknown as natural
“The truth finds more comfort in the dark”
“The light can blind as easily as the dark conceals. The dark can protect as easily as the light guides. Neither are pure good nor evil, pure chaos nor order. The light and dark just are.”
