Quick spell from my grandma that was passed onto her from her mum and however many generations…

Lost something?

Stick a pin in your sofa and it’ll return to you.

Why does this shit work? No clue, fam. But mum and grandma swear by it and I’ll be damned if it didn’t work for me today

[ioqayin]

This relates to a series of charms threatening a spirit to return something lost. One I’ve read consists of sticking pins into an apple to threaten the Devil to return what was lost. Another concerns stepping on a stone or leaving a stone under a pile of heavy objects until the object is returned. And sticking a pin into a chair is also common in folk charms. Pinning the Devil, it is called.

Things to Research as a Beginner Witch

• The history of witchcraft • Famous witches, if you’d like • Types of witches • Types of magick (white magick, chaos magick, etc) • Types of spells (curses, hexes, etc) • Types of divination (tarot, scrying, etc) • Talismans vs Sigils (and what each are) • Seals • Maybe some alphabets if that’s your thing • Some witchy symbols • Deities (For pagan witches) • Let it spread from there!

My favourite Strange Superstitions and Beliefs

1. Ringing Bells - During the rein of Queen Elizabeth, it became popular to ring bells to ward away evil spirits, especially those at the foot of the bed as it was said to frighten them away. They were also rung during prayers to guide departed souls.

2. Curse of the Opal Stone - Some people believe opals are evil and unlucky. The superstition stemmed from the best selling novel ‘Anne of Geierstein’ by Sir Walter Scott in 1829 where Lady Hermione was falsely accused of being a demon as she dies shortly after a drop of holy water accidentally falls on her opal jewellery and changes its colour. This book had such an effect on the image of the Opal that shortly after its publication, the Opal market crashed and Opal prices dropped by 50%. Some say it is only bad luck to wear opals if you were not born in October.

3. Counting Crows - Apparently it was once thought that counting crows flying overhead could tell one’s fate. “One’s bad / Two’s luck / Three’s health / Four’s wealth / Five’s sickness / Six is death.”

4. Eye twitches - Though there is not much information about how this English superstition was idealised, it is said that in one of your eyes twitch, you are bewitched.

5. Gravestones -  If you align your gravesite (beforehand!) north-to-south you’re a witch.

6. Domovoi -   A common Russian superstition is that one must never shake hands, kiss, sleep or sit near a threshold such as a door. Thresholds are where brownie-like creatures known as domovoi dwell and kissing or shaking hands is regarded as an offensive invasion of their space.

7. Yellow - In Russia, superstition people believe yellow to be a sad and unlucky colour.

8. Candles - In a candle blows out by itself, especially during rituals, it is a sign that evil spirits are near.

9. Chills - If you get a sudden shiver or chill, it is a sign that someone is walking over your eventual grave.

10. Sparrows - are said to carry the souls of the dead and it is unlucky to kill one.

This is really cool

(Content warning for nudity, sorta – like the people are made of silver or of sand or whatever and they’re not super distinct but they’re naked)

WATCH THIS. Easily the best video I’ve seen in years. It’s not just the effects, but also the exuberance and the weird tension between the canny and uncanny. I LOVE IT.

my rooster doesn’t crow when the sun rises, he crows when he hears humans wake up, like you can literally just roll over in bed and he’s like “hoLY SHIT THAT’S A PEOPLE THE HUMAN ISAWAKE AHHH AHHH AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH”

[samandriel]

the same rooster - god guys he’s so cute - he always lets hens eat treats first and won’t have any treats until they’ve had as much as they want, unless it’s a blueberry. shit, blueberries are like serious fucking business for Pharaoh. he’s a gentleman until the damn blueberries come out and then he don’t play no fuckin games

[samandriel]

in case you were wondering this is him

[samandriel]

It’s been almost a year since I made this post so I guess I should update you guys on Pharaoh!

He’s still a sweetie but with more attitude and will fuck up your shit if he’s grumpy or if you’re wearing shoes with shoelaces. He doesn’t like that. He watches Netflix with me a lot and cries anytime theres explosions or gunshots in a show. He has so many chicken lady friends who he adores and he has fathered 4 chicks. I tried to train him to walk on a leash but he protested by laying down and refusing to move, so we gave that up after a while. He likes to guard me from cars and squirrels, and even plastic bags (which are his worst fear)

Quality rooster

@ all you bookworms

here’s just a friendly reminder that your love for reading isn’t defined by what you like to read, how you like to read, or how much you read!

you’re still cool no matter what genres you like or don’t like.

you’re still cool if you prefer ebooks to paper books (or vice versa).

you’re still cool if you get your books from the library rather than buying them.

you’re still cool if you read books no one has ever heard of rather than popular best sellers.

you’re still cool if you don’t have picture perfect book shelves.

and you’re still cool if you don’t read as many books as other people are reading.

reading isn’t a competition. it isn’t about doing what everyone else may be doing, it’s about finding books that interest you and taking enjoyment from reading them. you don’t have to like what other people like or do what they do, you just have to keep doing you and whatever makes you happy.

In Arabic, the word ذنب is used to describe both a sin and a tail, because they have the same nature: they both follow you wherever you go.

The Arabic language has it’s own philosophy.
