follow my main blog @marigoldwitch for all the witchy goodness and such. I probably won’t be posting to this one anymore. Just decided it was time to use my main blog. I’ll leave this one up though <3
My guys, what is the preferred way to say black magic/dark magic? I’m aware of the racist connotations behind those terms and how they feed into the light = good, dark = evil thing that is all too prolific in fantasy so I really want to avoid that (especially as I have several black girl witch characters to do right by).
So… what’s a cool term for things like hexes and curses? Or in the fantasy genre, the more corrupt and impure side of magic? One that doesn’t feed into that narrative?
(If we don’t have one, help me come up with one by all means).
Using the term “dark magic” is literally the proper term for using…..dark….magic…. It has nothing to do with the stereotypical idea that black people = evil or bad.
When you go outside at 1 in the morning, how do you feel?? It’s dark right? You might feel on edge, scared, uneasy, or more cautious. Yeah, because it’s DARK.
Now for me and my personal craft I use the color black to add an extra boost to my spells. I’m not sure where this idea came from the the color black means evil? I’ve always been lead to believe that it’s usually used in protection / vanishing.
You just said yourself that you use the colour black to mean evil but don’t know where this comes from.
I don’t mean this to be a dig at you personally at all, but this precisely what I mean. The whole thing is so pervasive both in fantasy and in real world magic that most people have no idea they’re buying into it at all.
I wrote a post here with sources and quotations explaining the evidence of how it fits into and is part of this racist rhetoric.
And look, I don’t mind if real life pagans / witches / wiccans use it. But personally, in my own fantasy writing this is an idea I want to move away from, so I’m going to avoid it xx
“ You just said yourself that you use the colour black to mean evil but don’t know where this comes from.”
Where?
“ Now for me and my personal craft I use the color black to add an extra boost to my spells. I’m not sure where this idea came from the the color black means evil? I’ve always been lead to believe that it’s usually used in protection / vanishing.” <--- that’s what I said. Where in this did you get that I use it for evil. Protecting and vanishing aren’t evil things....
I use to the term “dark magic” to mean - Dark Magic. Magic that is scary and unsettling. Because the dark is scary and unsettling.

Witch Tip:
Put enchantments on hair ties. You can even incorporate colour magic (if thats your thing) into it. Its so inconspicuous no one would even think to suspect a thing. You can wear them around your wrist, in your hair, or just carry it in your pocket!
Little protection spell for someone you love Ingredients:
•vervain •small rose quartz •vial with cork top •rose petals •sage •red/pink/white candle
add everything into the vial whilst thinking about the person you want to protect
Optional:
seal top with wax or burn the candle next to the vial, focus your intent and blow the candle out when finished

✨ Tea Magic ✨
there are plenty of ways to work to work a little magic into your day without doing a full on ritual, and your daily (hourly?) tea is one of them! here’s just a couple of suggestions with fruit, flowers, herbs, and their correspondences.
most teas fall under a few categories: tea plant, floral, fruit and herbal. teas can be considered type of potion called an infusion. various types of teas have different steeping times and water temperatures, but you can always chill them and drink them cold too! most teas have some form of the tea plant in them mixed with other ingredients, but herbal teas do not.
teas like white, green, oolong, and black tea come from the same plant ”Camellia sinensis”, and the flavors/properties depend on how the leaves have aged/fermented. these are listed in the amount of least➡️ most fermentation.
white tea - air magic, purification, protection, clarity, realization, meditation, cleansing green tea - fire magic, healing, love, catalysts, mindfulness, passion, sexual health and new energies oolong tea - water magic, wisdom, reflection and deep concentration, beauty and emotional connections black tea - strength, stability, endings, finished business, and banishment, expelling negativity. (x)
fruit teas will correspond to the meanings of those fruits, strawberry for love, lemon for cleansing, etc. fruit teas often have the tea plant in them.
floral teas will correspond to the meanings of those fruits, rose for love, lavender for peace, etc. floral teas often have the tea plant in them.
herbal teas will correspond to the meanings of those herbs, mint for wealth, rosemary for protection, etc. herbal teas usually do not have any of the tea plant in them.

if you don’t like tea, just move oolong c:

This is knot magic at work my fellow witches. You can incorporate it into anything you do that is similar to tying knots. Crocheting is just fancy knot work, so why not throw a little magic into it. Just because it’s work, doesn’t mean it can’t be magic.
are there any other witches out there that celebrate friday the 13th’s like they’re actual holidays?
For the first time, since I joined Tumblr some many years ago, I actually had to block another witch. I can’t deal with people who use terms like - special snowflake whenever they meet someone who doesn’t share their opinion - or who feel the need to put other witches practices down simply because they don’t understand it.
There is no room in this community for hate and intolerance. We are all witches trying to figure out how to keep our practice and traditions alive in the modern world.

Tips for the Secret Witch
For all the witches who need to keep their Craft under wraps. Whether it is because of a lack of space, sharing your space with religious roommates (or simply people who don’t “get” witchcraft), or if you just would like your privacy, this list can help you out.
Altars
- Keep all your ritual tools in a plain box (like a shoe box) that can be easily tucked under your bed or in your closet and away from prying eyes.
- You can draw out an altar in a sketchbook. You can also add pictures printed from online or from magazines.
- Using glass jar candles can help make any magical space look mundane, and they come in a large variety of scents too (and people will always know what to get you when holidays roll around!).
- If you want to make an altar for a deity, but can’t make it too obvious, put a jar candle next to a trinket or picture associated with that deity. For example, a rose candle next to a sea shell for Aphrodite.
Magick
- Use colors matching your intent. This can mean you wear a red shirt, or carry a blue pen, or carry a green handbag.
- Enchant your jewelry. You can make a bracelet for protection, earrings for love, a necklace for luck, etc.
- Enchant your makeup, lotion or hair products. You can also use your face cleanser as a magical cleanser as well.
- Sigils. Sigils are simple symbols with intent put into them. They can be easily mistaken for simple doodles or intricate designs.
Crystals, Herbs and Incense
- If you are planning on having herbs in your room/space, you may wish to keep them in mason jars rather than plastic baggies. Many ignorant people assume that any herb in a baggy is marijuana. I’ve had someone mistake chamomile for marijuana before…
- Drinking tea is an innocent way to incorporate herbs into any practice. Teas come in all sorts of blends and flavors (they also usually come in fancy tins that you can save!). If you have a well known fondness for tea, if you start to buy herbs to mix your own blends, most wouldn’t blink an eye.
- Gardening or house plants. This is an easy way to incorporate herbs and plants without drawing attention.
- Crystals are very pretty. Crystal and rock collecting is also a very common hobby.
- If you don’t have access to incense, use jar candles, wax melts (with the warmers) or any type of open-and-leave-it air fresheners.
Witchy Tools
- To make an easy pendulum, loop a piece of cord or string through a ring. The weight of the ring will act just like a pendulum. You can also use an old necklace or bracelet depending on the length of the chain.
- Playing cards instead of Tarot cards. If you have trouble remembering the cards, doodle little symbols on each card that help you remember. You can also use trading game cards (like Pokemon or Yu-Gi-Oh!) if the pictures help you more.
Grimoires and Witchy Books
- Depending on your living situation, a plain notebook may not deter nosey people from snooping. If you need an alternative, pick up an old book from a thrift shop to write notes in. You can add notes in the margins, write over the print with markers, or glue in your own pages. This way your grimoire can sit on your bookshelf and look completely innocent.
- Note taking apps. I recommend Tumblr for a secret witch, mainly because you can have a witchy side blog to hold all your notes and no one will know. However, there are also a lot of note-taking apps (like OneNote) that let you create various “notebooks” and sections.
- Planner notebooks or binders. Most planners have some sort of personal inserts that can be made that you can write witchy notes. It’s also a super easy way to keep track of moon cycles and sabbats. This also allows you to get super creative.
