Oooof, the swords are pretty intimidating in spells…

Always reblog. Some of these may be different for others depending on the deck they have, but it’s really just interpreting the individual card. (just in case any witchlings were worried about a source)

Everyone is like “fuck the police” until someone’s suicidal, then it’s “rely on the police! They won’t kill you!” Like bro if I was suicidal and one of my friends called the cops on my ethnically ambiguous autistic ass I’d never talk to them again

[ursulaklegun-deactivated2024122]

Like if you call the cops on a person with schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, a personality disorder, etc...if you call the cops on a black or brown person...if you call the cops on an autistic person, ESPECIALLY if they’re nonverbal...if you call the cops on someone who is a combination of those things...well, if blood spills, it’s on your hands!

[filipinoness]

If you’re suicidal yourself, don’t ever call or rely on the police. I done it once, this is what happens (if you’re lucky you’re not killed)

they’ll arrive, it’s always two of them. they’ll forcefully take you out of the house, put you face down on the ground, handcuff you, tell you your rights, and sit you outside. keep in mind that I was having a panic attack which makes it worst, in broad daylight, with people crowding around. they don’t care what you’re going through. they say the handcuffs are for your safety (a lie)

they take around 30mins- 1hr just standing around looking at paperwork. as someone with bipolar disorder and on the autistic spectrum, this is fucking terrible. they humiliate you as they put on gloves to check if you have weapons. they treat you as if you just killed someone even though I wanted help since I was suicidal. the next step is they just grab your arm and toss you into the backseat of the cop car

now the ride to the station isn’t much. they don’t say anything and rarely ask if you’re okay or ask about medication. again, they don’t care. when you get to the station, they fingerprint you, take pictures, then just lock you up in a cell with just you. you’re still in handcuffs. they don’t give you food or water. they also don’t notify your legal guardians of where you are. you don’t get a phone call.

it’s been a few hours or it feels that way. you don’t know since you can’t tell the time and the cops haven’t said much. just check in awhile to see if your alive. then after it feels like forever, there is a caseworker who then does paperwork to send you to a mental institution where you stay for around a week.

I was lucky that I wasn’t having a severe maniac episode (since they took about 20mins to get to where I was). honestly though, don’t ever ever call the cops

[nightcoremoon]

if you're suicidal you call the hotline

if someone else is suicidal you call the hotline

you never call the police because they're not fucking trained to deal with that shit, they just follow the antiquated system that's been around for decades and nobody can be bothered enough to update it because they don't care

call the hotline

To every human being reading this post, Iraqis are now out on the streets making a revolution against their corrupt government that has been stealing, exploiting, and killing the Iraqi people for the past 16 years. Iraqi people are demanding for basic human rights and respectable living, and the Iraqi government continues its human rights violations and is facing the protestors with live bullets and violence, protestors are being killed and tortured on the streets for demanding for their basic human rights. There is a total internet shutdown now in Iraq to block the coverage and to suppress their voices. Please help to spread the word. It is your duty as a human. #Save_the_Iraqi_people

How to Witchcraft: Knot, Thread & Cord Magic

It’s a funny thing. I use knot/cord magic A LOT but I don’t think I’ve ever seen a book devoted to it (I like Scott Cunningham’s chapter on it in Earth Power, pg.91). It’s so versatile though that there SHOULD be more about it.

As a newer witch, knot/cord magic is something I HIGHLY recommend. Especially if you are in the broom closet/can’t light candles or have a fire to burn herbs. It’s easy to do and it’s inconspicuous. There are so many ways to incorporate it too. 

First let’s talk about the different kinds of knot/cord magic:

Braiding: Used for long term, braid three or more colored cords while focusing on your intention and use when necessary. 

Knot 1:  Tie 9 knots on a colored cord while focusing on your intention and place some place where it will not be disturbed (by storing it, burning it or burying it- so the knots will never be undone).

Knot 2: Tie 9 knots on a colored cord while focusing on your intention to store energy. Release knots one by one in the order they were tied to release the energy when needed, once a day consecutively.

Crochet/Knitting: Use to imbue intention into the item so that the wearer benefits (e.g. warmth, self confidence, protection, etc).

Cross Stitch/Embroidery: Used to imbue intention into the item. Especially useful with sigils. 

How to do it:

There are a few methods known when working with knot & cord magic.

Braided cords typically do not get undone, and are stored for long term use. While braiding the cord (typically in 9’ or 9” measurements but if you don’t follow the threefold law this is irrelevant— unless your deity is a triplicate that you plan to invoke). To Do: Concentrate on your intent while braiding the cord, visualizing/thinking about it coming to fruition. Once you’re finished braiding consecrate the cord and put it away until you need it. This isn’t meant for an every day thing, just an as needed cord.

Knots can be harnessed in a few ways but the gist is that you’re using the knots to store power related to the intention of your spell. 1) Where you don’t ever untie them, 2) When you untie them as power is needed, or 3) when you untie one knot each day for consecutive days.

Typically you would tie a bead onto one end of the cord so that you know what your starting end is. You can also melt the ends with fire to prevent fraying. To Do: Pass the cord through a candle flame or incense to cleanse it while saying the words of your spell (i.e. the REASON you’re doing this) then you begin tying the knots in the cord you want to say the following while focusing on the intention/the type of power you are storing:

By knot of ONE, the spell’s begun By knot of TWO, it cometh true By knot of THREE, so mote it be By knot of FOUR, this power I store By knot of FIVE, the spell’s alive By knot of SIX, this spell I fix By knot of SEVEN, events I’ll leaven By knot of EIGHT, it will be Fate By knot of NINE, what’s done is mine

Generally knots are tied in this order: 

1———6———4———7———3———8———5———9———2

But I have seen other variations, I just find this one easier to follow because it doesn’t start in the middle so you have a reference point for which end contains the 1st knot (the bead). You can also tie things INTO the knot to strengthen the magic even further (hair, wood, stones/gems, etc) just make sure to destroy or bury those items if you choose to untie the knots. Some people use knotted cords as a powerful talisman and don’t untie the knots, if this is the case you want to store it where it won’t be disturbed, burn it so it will never physically be untied or bury it where it will disintegrate in the earth and also never physically be untied. I have done all three methods of handling and I can’t say I prefer one over the other. The really great thing about storing energy is that it’s raised when it will be the most powerful (increases, like success or protection, would be sometime from the new moon to full and decreases, like a binding, would be sometime from the full moon to new) but the power is now stored for use whenever you need it. 

Crocheting/Knitting is something I consider part of knot and cord magic because you can purposefully stitch your intention into the item you’re making. A lot of time, if for friends/family, I weave warmth and protection into things I make for them. So I might say something like:

With every stitch that I make, the wearer of this item will be protected and warm, but as the need arises they will be alert until they get to safety. Never too hot, but not cold either, This item will keep them comfortable. By earth, air, flame and sea, as I say, so shall it be.

And I’ll focus on that while I continue to make the item. Off topic, but notice how I put a clause in there that they will be alert if the need arises until they reach safety. I don’t want them to be so warm and comfortable that they neglect their own safety. 

Cross-stitch/embroidery: You can embroider sigils using color appropriate cloth and thread! You can cross stitch spells into your work (like cross stitching an acorn and imbuing it with luck and protection, which actual acorns can represent). There are so many different things you could do, let your imagination do the work!

Color in knot & cord magic:

White: purity, truth, sincerity, spirituality, the goddess, peace, higher self, virginity(as in the woman’s mind is owned by no man), a substitute for any other color. Red: strength, health, vigor, sexual love, energy, passion, courage, element of fire, career goals, fast action, lust, blood of the moon, vibrancy, driving force, survival Light Blue: tranquility, understanding, patience, calm, gently moving, wisdom, good fortune, opening blocked communication Dark Blue: impulsiveness, depression, changeability, protection, spiritual inspiration, reassurance, creativity Green: finance, fertility, luck, Earth Mother, physical healing, monetary success, abundance, tree and plant magick, growth, Element of Earth, personal goals Gold: wealth, The God, promote winning, safety and power of the male, happiness, playful humor Yellow: The Sun, intelligence, accelerated learning, memory, logical imagination, breaking mental blocks, selling yourself Gold/Yellow: attraction, persuasion, charm, confidence Brown: hesitation, uncertainty, neutrality, influence friendships, special favors Pink: honor, romantic love, morality, Planetary Good Will, healing of emotions, peace, affection,romance, partnerships of emotional maturity, caring, nurturing Black: loss, discord, confusion, protection, repelling negativity, binding, shapeshifting Purple: tension, ambition, business progress, power, influencing people in high places, third eye, psychic ability, spiritual power, self assurance, hidden knowledge Silver/Grey: cancellation, neutrality, stalemate, telepathy,clairvoyance, intuition, clairaudience, psychometry, dreams, astral energies, Female Power, communication, The Goddess, moon magic Orange: encouragement, adaptability, stimulation, attraction, business goals, property deals, ambition, career goals, general success, justice, legal matters, selling, action Copper: passion, money goals, professional growth, fertility in business, career maneuvers

This white woman’s shocking account of police brutality reveals the importance of the #BlackLivesMatter movement

Molly Suzanna shared a story on Facebook that she had never told before: when she was 19, she ran a red light while crying, then was pulled over and forcefully removed and beaten by a police officer. She explains in the letter that she believes her situation would have been even worse had she been black — and she ends the letter with an important call to action.

[lanie-love09]

The public needs to hear more stories like this as well.

[lennybaby2]

Wow. This is horrifying.

[the-sarkai]

Cops are drunk on power. Add any ism to that, you have a bunch of abusive, gun wielding, trained to kill, non empathetic, killers running around.

“women can’t drive”

It is so well known that women are better and safer drivers than men that OUR CAR INSURANCE RATES ARE LOWER. Women get into fewer accidents, get fewer DUIs, and receive fewer speeding tickets than men.

“women never shut up”

Several scientific studies have shown that not only do men talk more than women, they also think that women have been talking for much longer than they actually have. Men interrupt and talk over women, dominate conversations, and still think women talk too much.

“women are shallow”

Lol next

“my wife is my ball and chain lmao”

Multiple studies have shown that marriage between men and women: Increases male lifespan, decreases female lifespan Decreases male depression rates, increases female depression rates Decreases male stress levels, increases female stress levels Increases male health and happiness, decreases female health and happiness Increases a man’s chance of getting a raise or promotion, decreases a woman’s chances of getting a raise or promotion

“women are too emotional”

Men love to say this about women after hurting them, in order to shift the blame and dismiss their feelings in one go. In reality, women are taught to hold our tongues and control ourselves quite literally from birth. We’re taught to put men’s needs and wants ahead of our own emotions regardless of the personal cost. Men are taught to do more or less whatever the fuck they want to women. Men take their emotions out on women while women are expected to shove theirs down.

I could go on and on but I don’t really think I need to.
