I want to be here
it's 2022. donald trump has died in disgrace days after being impeached and jailed. my chemical romance's new album is coming out the same day as the new spiderverse movie. the lizzo and janelle monaé collab song is blowing up the radio. lil nas x has a verse in it. you and your partner have time and energy for dates after work after jeff bezos' assets have been seized and distributed to the public in the wake of his arrest for keeping employees in unsafe working conditions.
oh what a life
Like to charge, reblog to cast.
Everyone has been vaccinated for free and the virus hasn’t caused a single death in months.
Those dates you go on with your partner? They’re in public. Unmasked. Your server smiles at you. Everyone feels safe.
You can hug your friends.
You can see a movie. The people in the movie are gay people of color and they kiss and live happily ever after.
And so will you.
LIKE TO CHARGE, REBLOG TO CAST
Or do both for twice the punch!
I like this very much
fuck summer i want it to be dark and misty and frigid and october
I feel this in my soul
my mom taught me the therapeutic power of cleaning. open all the windows. throw out the old. wipe down the entire house. burn some incense. roast some coffee. then rest. that way the tears from last night don’t feel as heavy.
The root of all hearth magic tbh
Literally the foundation of my entire witch philosophy.
Reblog if you're a witch
I need to follow more witchy blogs! So if you have one reblog this so I can see and connect with my fellow witches.
To all the secret witches...
To the witches that weren’t born into practicing families, who have no one to guide them, no resources…
To the witches that live in ultra-religious families that are scared of their parents finding out…
To the witches that live in non-religious families that are scared of their parents finding out…
To the witches that practice in the confinement of their bedroom, who don’t have an altar…
To the witches that don’t have access to all the right herbs and crystals, who don’t own a tarot deck, can’t light candles in their homes, who can’t burn incense…
To all the witches that get caught stealing things from the kitchen, who have to come up with excuses on the spot…
To all the witches practicing in secret…
You’re craft is as valid as any other. If you do everything you can to practice, it is valid. Even if you can only draw sigils in hidden places, or chant silent spells over your breakfast, you are practicing, and your are practicing valid witchcraft.
Don’t get discouraged. Someday, you’ll be off on your own, able to practice the way you want. Keep those spells that call for the expensive crystals. Keep those potions that use the herbs and flowers you never had. Someday, you’ll be able to light that candle and burn incense at your altar.
To all the witches who practice in secret, keep it up, because someday you won’t have to worry.
This is so inspiring
Yesterday I had a friend tell me how one of her close friends has a whole bunch of succulents, and she has given each one the name of her close friends. She nurses them, takes care of them, talks to them, and if one ever starts to get sick or not grow well, she talks to the friend in question and something is almost always bothering them.
And if that isn’t one of the cutest examples of subtle green witchcraft I don’t know what is.
Witches
Get out there. Back a backpack, fill it with water and trinkets and notebooks. Put on your best shoes and go ahead. Go stick your feet in the pond. Pick up cool sticks in the forest and whittle them with open scissors. Pick common flowers and dry them in your room. Tie wool ribbons to trees and write little messages for others to find. Prowl the streets of your area and pick pebbles out of the cracks in sidewalks. Find coins and bring them home. Look for abandon objects on the subway. Go dumpster diving, find fun free things you’d never expect to own from the trash. Use mud and stones to make tiny houses, use walnut shells as bowls and leave some water for the new inhabitants. Pick up sand from the beach or the desert or the local park and fill a little sack with it. Bury seeds in eggshells under your favorite trees. Get lost in the woods. Be that one person who does weird stuff, collect the words tossed around about you and save them in a paper envelope; they’re yours.
Just go. You are a being of chaos and calamity and there is a whole world out there waiting to be found.

Witches of Tumblr, what are your go to books about herbs/plants/flowers?
Yesterday I learned my backyard is home to purple ground ivy and its place within herbal witchcraft and herbal medicine was fascinating so I want to continue this journey. Obviously I know a few herbs and plants that are good for certain things but I really want to educate myself deeply!
I was looking into the Green Witch but really all and any suggestions are welcome for a beginner such as myself.
-slams mug down on the table and stands- MY TIME HAS COME.
….Ahem. Yes, I think I can help.
I’m a huge proponent of pairing magical education with mundane learning, both for safety and for context. Thus, books on plants, for spells and medicine alike, make up a big part of my library.
For the sake of convenience, I’ll break down my recs into two categories:
GREEN WITCHCRAFT
Encyclopedia of Magical Herbs (Cunningham)
Garden Witchery (Dugan)
The Garden Witch’s Herbal (Dugan)
The Sacred Herbs of Samhain (Hopman)
The Real Witches’ Garden (West)
The Hearth Witch’s Compendium (Franklin)
The Hearth Witch’s Kitchen Herbal (Franklin)
The Green Witch Herbal (Griggs)
PRACTICAL HERBOLOGY
The Complete Guide to Herbal Medicines (Fetrow & Avila)
Rodale’s Illustrated Encyclopedia of Herbs (Carr)
Western Medicinal Plants and Herbs (Peterson Field Guides)
Edible Wild Plants (Peterson Field Guides)
Herbal Remedies (Chevallier)
The New American Herbal (Orr)
The Herbal Medicine-Maker’s Handbook (Green)
I also have a few other books that deal with practical gardening techniques and plant-related folklore, which I’m happy to provide upon request.
Please keep in mind that everything should be read with common sense and a grain of salt in mind. I have a lot more books that I refer to, but these are the ones I find myself reaching for most often.
Hope this helps!
A Compendium of Herbal Magick by Paul Bayerl
For a really great free resource I suggest Maude Grieves Modern Herbal available online here.
Green Witch by Arin Murray-Hiscock
Green Witchcraft by Paige Vanderbeck
I agree with Bree on the Cunningham book and the Ellen Dugan books and local field guides.
For the next step:
The Witching Herbs by Harold Roth
Corinne Boyer Books (Plants of the Devil, Under the Bramble Arch, Under the Witching Tree)
Veneficium: Magic, Witchcraft, and the Poison Path by Daniel Schulke
Any of the rad Dave Pendell books
Some Movies about Faeries:
The Secret of Kells (forest sprite)
Ash Lad in the Hall of the Mountain King (trolls/nymphs/etc.)
Spiderwick Chronicles (variety of faeries)
Maleficent (variety of faeries)
Labyrinth (goblins/pixies/etc.)
The Hole in the Ground (Changelings)
Pan’s Labyrinth (faun/pixies/etc.)
Song of the Sea (selkies and others)
Just some of the fae movies I’ve seen and enjoyed, feel free to add some more!
Yessss

“Boys will be bugs” by Cavetown gives off very goblincore/softboi energy and I love it (:
(it’s a link click and listen to it. It’s wonderful)
if fallout 76 really is a world where “every character is a real person” & there’s no NPCs im making it my civic duty to be like this lowly tavern barkeep and then once i’ve established enough of a rapport i’m going to nuke all of west virginia and it will be in character
someone help where’s the screenshot of some post somewhere about the mmo player who barkept for a longass time then fucked absolutely everyone over
This one?
This is everything
i need!!! to be in the forest. run my hand through a little stream. climb over a fallen tree…maybe sit down on a stone and forget about society for a bit
The sound of a busy road with cars getting further and further away the deeper and deeper you go into a forest is one of the most underappreciated things in the world
May the 10 of Pentacles bless your account with more money than you can spend. 💵✨
10 of Pentz came thruuu
Omg this actually works!!! Thank you 10 of Pentacles!!!
I could seriously use this money right now….
Please give me my refund of 400$ soon…
I feel obligated to reblog this every time it shows up in my dash
No bragging, just 100% floored and grateful. Work hard, maintain a positive attitude, and believe that anything can happen.
So I reblogged this exactly a week ago because I thought it was funny and uh lo and behold, a family friend wrote me a big ol’ check just to help me out of a tough financial spot AND my bank refunded me $32 for fees they’d originally taken out. SO UH YEAH. Reblogging this again in hopes that it brings equally good fortune to my followers.
Sure why not? Jobs bring in money and prosperity…
I NEED TO FIX MY CAR DOOR
It fucking WORKED.
Yes please
