The Hopeless NecRomantic

A 25 year old, multiracial, neurodivergent, eclectic witch that has been practicing witchcraft since 2019 and has no plan on stopping.

Just made a cursing oil so strong I had to seal it off to keep that energy in. Also a return to sender candle just HATES to see me coming, I know it.

Hand photoshoot. Need to touch up the henna tho.

There’s a reason I haven’t been posting much anymore.

I started gatekeeping my practice. My mental health and abilities have thrived since then.

Sure, I still talk to people about it, try to find like minded people, and can even show them around, but I stopped taking pictures of and recording my rituals, stopped trying to make my practice perfect enough for social media and others, and I stopped telling everyone the details.

I have never felt better.

I may still post on occasion and I will leave previous posts up, but no more nitty gritty, personal posts anymore. I am thriving in the shadows.

Gatekeep your practice, witches. 🖤

Got some new fox bones thanks to my lovely friend @gwlc.taxidermy on insta!!! I can tell these bones were cleaned and taken care of with much love! Going to bless and use these for divination.

Wanting to try a junk journal grimoire! The stickers won’t stick though and I’m wondering if it’s because of the paper. Oh well, time for tacky glue!

Cinnamon, patchouli, and sandalwood for a fragrant, delicious, abundance incense blend.

Food offerings to leave on your altar that won’t immediately rot

﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌

I feel like I’ve not seen a post with a list like this so I wanted to share ideas from my own experience!

I love to offer up food to the Gods. Unfortunately, I cannot burn anything, and I can’t leave most perishable items on my altar because either my cat will get to it or it’ll attract bugs as soon as it starts to spoil.

I’ve come up with some non traditional food offerings to give that I find really successful. I leave new offerings every Noumenia, and none start to rot within that time. Hopefully this list can be helpful to others!

𓈒⠀𓂃⠀⠀˖⠀𓇬⠀˖⠀⠀𓂃⠀𓈒

┃ Prepackaged foods:

When you want to remove these from your altar, I recommend either reverently disposing them, consuming/cooking with them in the honor of a specific deity(s), or leaving them until their expiration date and then disposing of them.

Individually wrapped chocolates squares, pieces of candy, etc.

Bagged fruit snacks

Bottles of olive oil

Jars of jam/jelly/preserves

Tea bags

Sandwich crackers

Packets of fruit/veggies seeds

Canned or bottled drinks

Small bags of chips, crackers, etc.

Granola bars

Canned veggies

Shelf-stable oat milk

Baked cheese bites

Veggie straws

𓈒⠀𓂃⠀⠀˖⠀𓇬⠀˖⠀⠀𓂃⠀𓈒

┃ Loose foods

I like to fill little organza bags and glass jars with these kinds of items, but you can also just put them in an offering bowl loose if pets or kiddos aren’t a concern. You can either bury or reverently dispose of these when you’re ready to remove them from your altar.

Rice

Herbs

Sunflower seeds

Freeze-dried fruits

Nuts/trail mix

Popcorn kernels

Uncooked pasta

Ornamental corn

Oats

Pine nuts

Uncooked quinoa

Lentils

𓈒⠀𓂃⠀⠀˖⠀𓇬⠀˖⠀⠀𓂃⠀𓈒

Even if what you offer seems a little silly or informal, remember that we live in the 21st century, and the Gods appreciate 21st century offerings. Give what you can; and if you can’t give anything, the Gods understand. They love you anyways <3

witchy confession:

I have never understood or kept track of astrology even a little bit. What moon phase is it? I have no fucking idea dude. What’s the best time of the month to do that spell? Right now. Mercury in gatorade? I hope he feels better soon i guess.
