Heretic’s Rosary

The Witch Seeker

I want to start off by thanking @bathofmelusine for entrusting me with this project. It was a long time coming and was built on multiple conversations and a back and forth until it came to this point. I’m very proud of it and even more, flattered that you trusted me with so much of your craft and history to make this piece as connected to your practice as I was able.

The Witch Seeker (though I’m sure you have your own terms of endearment for it) is made of 8 sections of 7 rough cut moonstones on burnished silver chain.

Starting at the nape of the neck is a single woodburned bead engraved with the witch foot. Down 7 beads to a series of three bones. A solitary English cartoon crow vertebrae carries between antique bone disk beads.

Progressing further you come upon the dark beauty of gold sheen obsidian in a grouping of three before more moonstones and quartz shards flanking either side of the rosary.

All meeting at a semi polished large droplet of earth’s blood: a garnet.

A drop pendant of alternating moonstones mirror the above components. Gold sheen obsidian, bone and garnet until they culminate in a vial of snakeskin. Gathered from the familiar of another witch, it completes the cycle. Life and death, predator and prey, earth and sky, dark and light. This piece is a balance of all and the private meetings to find the purpose and use of each piece is something I will cherish,

🦇Cheers, Barberwitch

AN HUMBLE REVIEW FROM A FELLOW CLIENT

Carlos has been a kind, truthful and very considerate advisor throughout the entire process, and I’m very pleased to be the owner of such a treasurable creation. Ritual jewelry has a long history where magic and power are webbed together, and I was drawn to the idea of a jewel that would reflect who I am as a witch and be an anchor to my craft. Pursuing the tradition of sacred tools embedded and worn as jewels, @barberwitch creates gorgeous pieces with an almost religious, clearly devotional undertone in his collection « Heretic’s Rosary » - a love letter to all witches and cunning folk. The Witch Seeker is a custom made order and I can’t recommend warmly enough to trust Carlos and his vision. Tailored to my needs and wants, made with lots of care and love according to my budget, the rosary and reliquary blend in a vivid composition reflecting my path. Sections of moonstone, garnet beads, obsidian and quartz shards meet snake skin & crow vertebraes. Each time I wear it, I’m laying the Compass round with blood and bones from the land spirits, just « as Eve said to the Serpent ». Carlos went as far as smoke cleansing the product before sending it overseas (with a little sigil to help it go fast, and damn it did), and it landed in my hands for the very first time vibrating with powerful energies, ready to serve and to be consecrated.

A wonderful gift and skillful tool, made from a deeply personal and intimate introspection thanks to a talented crafter : I’ll cherish it forever.

Cat mom needs help!

This is Moonlite. She will be 11 in August. She also has dementia. Until recently, it’s been manageable just by me comforting her. But as of this week, I can’t comfort her, she’s sad constantly and I don’t know what to do. I stay home with her nearly 24/7 because she gets lost and disoriented so frequently. Today she has started getting aggressive and attacked my arm for the first time ever. I’m out of work and me and my husband live on a single income. I NEED to get her to a vet. I’ve heard there may be some medications or diet changes they can give her, but you have to go through the vet to get them. I didn’t want to have to post this but I’ve been sobbing all night because she has been my best friend in the entire world for almost 11 years. I bottle fed this baby. I just have to try and see if there is anything they can do to improve her quality of life. She is a good girl and deserves only good things. So I’m having a divination/witch sale.

Reminder

Witchcraft is a practise - it is not a religion nor is it inherently religious.

You can be a witch without religion, or you can be a witch with it. But witchcraft itself, is simply a practise.

I wanna try shadow work but??? I cant find any solid information on it for some reason?

[snake-scale-deactivated20181107]

i have a list here but these are my faves!

basics

some pluto retrograde prompts

[shroud-of-roses]

@darkfyretheumbrawitch and @nightmarist are fabulous!!! I have a few masterposts I either reblogged or have queued that I am sending you, too!

[nightmarist]

Thanks for the mention. 

Shadow Work comes from the Shadow in Jungian Psychology, which is one of many parts of the whole person. The Shadow, the Ego, the Animus, and The Anima all make up the entire Self. The Shadow is the subconscious that comes from places the individual may or may not be aware of, it’s a major factor in the development of the personality because it’s formed by the things we keep in our subconscious. In example, fear. When a person has a fear, usually there is a reason for that fear, be it rational or irrational, and usually the person may have a vague idea about the reason they fear, but the Shadow holds on that reason. Understanding where your fear comes from internally, be it one time when you were five you locked yourself in a small space and thus developed claustrophobia, or an individual is afraid of dogs because they were bit by a dog - it usually goes deeper than that. The individual bitten by a dog who is now scared of dogs isn’t just afraid to be bitten by the dog, they’re afraid of either the initial pain, the fact they could lose a finger, rabies, or a multitude of other things, the minuscule facts that come with being bitten by a dog. 

Shadow Work is typically about realizing about yourself and growing from them. I tend to see a lot of places, especially in the fear area, talk about how one should overcome fear. I don’t really think overcoming fear is necessary as much as the understanding and knowledge about where that fear really comes from deep down is. Now, typically the fear is overcome anyway due to having that knowledge about its roots and where it came from, but not always. An individual is still allowed to be afraid of the dark or afraid of dogs or afraid of heights, the point is understanding where they come from, how, why, and using that knowledge for personal growth. 

Not all of Shadow Psychology is about fear, however. It’s also about internalized traits, habits, behaviors, and modes of thought. It’s really about digging through the how, why, and where your behaviors and thoughts manifest. 

The Shadow is not always bad or negative, you can also find more about yourself through the workings of your positive or neutral subconscious behaviors, though Shadow Work does tend to focus on the negative. 

Shadow Work is done as per the individual, so there isn’t any specific, singular way to practice. Typically journaling, divination, and introspection are the biggest aspects of Shadow Work. Shadow Work is looking inward and learning from yourself. Also, Shadow Work, as it is now, is a more contemporary witchcraft practice so there aren’t many resources on it just yet, but I hope with more people entering it that there will be in the future. 

I have a few books and documents on Shadow Psychology and one book on Shadow Witchcraft in my google drive folder, though they are currently still uploading. I would also recommend looking into the Psychology of Love for decent introspection on how you may view or experience love through different love stories. 

I specifically recommend, when the finish uploading, Shadow Magic, Meeting the Shadow, and Psychology of the Unconscious Mind, and Man and His Symbols. I don’t always 100% agree with Carl Jung, but his work is still important to psychology and the self. And, thankfully, he’s no Sigmund Freud. 

My Shadow Work Tag also has some basics into getting started on journaling and exploration via divination and the like. 

Hope that helps.

Things I wish somebody had told me in the beginning: witch edition

This is not a competition. Take it slow, enjoy the journey. You do not need to learn every crystal correspondence within a week.

Keep a journal/Grimoire/Book of Shadows if possible. Fill it up as you go. Do not just put the information somewhere to wait until you “have time” or “have more energy” (although these, and many more, are understandable reasons). It is less work to do a little all the time than try to catch up all at once.

You don’t need to be anything to be a witch. You are one, regardless of your gender, skin color, religious interests… If you think you’re one, you are. Witchcraft is a path, a tool, not a religion.

Wicca and witchcraft are not the same.

It is totally okay to take breaks. Setting aside your craft doesn’t mean you can’t come back and continue where you left off.

YOU are the most important tool. You do not need that expensive cauldron, or those rare herbs that have a double-digit price. Of course, supplies are needed for more complicated/powerful spells to help you out, but they are not necessary.

If your path changes, that is okay! If you were first interested in spells but then decided to focus more on deities and their worship, that’s okay!

On that note, it’s also okay to not know what your path is.

Like all people, witches have their opinions about various things. Listen carefully to both sides, research, but in the end make your own opinion that fits with your morals and worldview. Neither side is necessarily wrong, but both can be true.

Trust your gut/intuition. It knows a lot. If someone says X has Y correspondences, but in your opinion has Z, then this is true to you.

When researching things, remember to be critical and not trust everything you read blindly. Cross-reference.

Educate yourself on closed religions, slur words, racist symbols, appropriation of cultures and their words (see:smudging, chakra…) Do not be angry at yourself if you have used them before - you are always learning and growing as a person.

When in doubt, ask. The community is friendly and many are more than happy to help you. Asking never hurts, but don’t treat others as your Google.

Do not abandon science nor common sense. Witchcraft is powerful, and certain areas have direct influence (using herbs, for example), but it does not replace healthcare, therapy, or otherwise being healthy.

Practice safety. There is a reason why people tell you in rituals/spells/etc. to do things to protect yourself. When doing witchcraft, you are dealing with great powers and energy - sometimes that might be malicious.

Also, some general things like fire safety, checking for crystal toxicities in various substances, and herb properties are important to keep track of - these are physical things that can seriously harm you; and definitely work. Do not doubt that.

Do not lose yourself. While witchcraft gives us great power, it sometimes makes us lose ourselves. One might become so absorbed in their path that they forget things like eating, checking on friends, doing hobbies, and so forth. This path is part of your life, but your life does not consist only of the path.

Have fun! I believe this is one of the most important things. Witchcraft does not need to be serious; it can be Legos, glitter, pop-culture gods, sigils doodled with eyeliner… The possibilities are limitless!

This is hella good everyone read it

Some great advice here.

[h-y-m-n-o-i]

I met Hermes out by I-35

I sing of rivers poured of asphalt.

Put your hand on its skin, black burned white by the sun, and feel its heat, its pulse.

The arteries of a nation beat with our multitude.

You pull your palm away,  burning. He grins.

I sing of asphalt rivers, and he who drives them.

[a-wick-with-no-candle]

witches who support nazis, white supremacy, and/or think contacting the spirits of mass shooting perpetrators is the thing to do bc it’s “interesting” can fuck right off and never interact with me again

[growing-yet-into-magic]

Please? Please never talk to me again if you do this stuff. I’m not kidding. 

[witchy--wonders]

The shape of crystals.

Crystals can be brought In all shapes and sizes and whilst we may just buy them for the way they look or purely for the intention of that crystals and I personally never used to realize that the shape of a crystal did actually influence the way it worked.so i decided to quickly put something together to show the influence of the shapes.

Single point crystals: these focus energy In one direction and can only either transmit or Draw energy one at a time. You can only transmit energy or draw once at a time.

Double pointed crystals: These crystals can Both draw and transmit energy at the same time and so are useful for balancing opposing forces.

Crystal clusters: radiate energy of the crystal to the surrounding area.

Geodes: amplifies energy and slowly releases it into their surroundings.

So these are some of the shapes and how they influence the way the crystals work. These are from some books I have and my grimoire.

[medusa-must-live]

Oh, Hermes! Thanks for all the coins I find lost in my pockets 

[halorvic]

I don't want to cause controversy bc this is a delicate matter for many people. I've seen this argument many times. Cultural appropriation is important and while I understand tumblr is a USA/western oriented site, people have to understand that the world is much wider than that. Spirit Animals are found in folklore and mythology of many many cultures, from Norse and Celts, to Japanese and Egyptian. As an History and Mythology lover this always bothers me bc hey, not everything is about America.

A quick search brought up a few links that are worth reading/listening to on the subject:

https://www.worldreligionnews.com/opinion/spirit-animal-not-joke-oppressionhttp://www.spiralnature.com/spirituality/spirit-animal-cultural-appropriation/https://iistrawberrychanii.wordpress.com/2013/12/12/psa-yes-spirit-animals-are-cultural-appropriation-that-means-you/ (see sofriel’s explanation)https://www.politicallyreactive.com/ (scroll down/search for the audio titled “Kate Schatz and Miriam Klein Stahl on Rad American Women” from 2017 - between 4:16-14:05 the hosts talk to Dr. Adrienne Keene about the origins and use of the term)

I mean, the fact that it is a recognisably delicate topic should be an indication that it is an issue and yeah, many non-indigenous people will undoubtedly continue to use it regardless, either because they don’t know/understand why it’s offensive (and this is why learning to recognise and pushing back against the normalisation of subtler forms of racism is important) and/or they just don’t care that it is. But I’m sure there are many who aren’t aware and are willing to acknowledge concerns expressed by actual native people who have spoken out about the problem, and for them the previous anon already helpfully presented some perfectly usable alternatives.

[teashoesandhair]

Hello, I am of Celtic descent (Welsh and live in Wales, woo) and have a Master’s in Myth and Narrative Theory which includes a module on Celtic Myth, and I’d like to clarify that spirit animals are Not A Thing in Celtic lore. Like, not at all. No. As far as I know from my own study, they’re not a Thing in Norse or Egyptian myth either. Even if there are similar concepts - which, to reiterate, I’m unfamiliar with if there are - they are not known as ‘spirit animals’.

I can’t in good faith speak for Japanese culture or myth as I haven’t studied it, but you should consider the sources you’re using (to the questioner, not the responder). Just because there’s some website that says it’s true, doesn’t mean it is; there’s a whole Wiki page about Celtic animism, for example, which only uses one source, Miranda Green, whose earlier scholarship is very influential, but whose later stuff is sadly almost entirely speculative. A better course of action would be to listen to those indigenous people who have said that they find the concept of spirit animals to be cultural appropriation and to their reasons, and make sure that the sources you’re using for other cultures are accurate and well-researched.

[kirindensetsu]

Shinto scholar here: shinshi (神使, “god envoys”) are the gods’ animal messengers but are not themselves venerated and don’t have personal, one-on-one relationships with mortals.  Some of them seem to have started as clan totems (for example, the three-legged crow shows up in neolithic art) but many of them are from Hinduism by way of Buddhist syncretism, like foxes from Dakini->Inari and doves from Kartikeya->Hachiman. There are ujigami (氏神, “lineage gods”) which are totemic in function (they’re YOUR god, because they’re related to you; Amaterasu was originally the ujigami of the royal family) but not in aspect (they don’t look like animals).  Chapter 3 of THE CATALPA BOW by Carmen Blacker is about shikigami and fox/dog/weasel!magic if anyone cares enough to borrow a library book but those aren’t “spirit animals” they’re more like hereditary witch-familiars. As for non-Yamato Japan: I’m less familiar with Ainu religion but can say that while the Ainu do consider certain animals (especially bears) to be the corporeal manifestations of deities, there’s a very strong ainu/kamuy (human/divine) dichotomy and animals are like fancy husks for the gods.

[darkelfchicksick]

I’ve finished a degree in Old Norse studies and there is a motif of a human’s luck/ability/soul/ancestoral power manifesting in an animal shape, but it’s a rare phenomenon and limited to extraordinary people/families. also, those beings are NOT called spirit animals and we’re not sure how far-spread this concept was. I would not equate the fylgja/hamingja to the n.a. spirit animals, and if anyone’s interested, I can look up my personal definitions for these beings (I wrote my b.a. thesis on them) - the words aren’t in use any more, but considering the close connection between anything Old Norse and white supremacists, I would advise against using them generally.

[hillbillyoracle]

Stop Learning Tarot Cards Like Flash Cards (You’re Better Than That)

One thing I’ve noticed as I’ve started teaching tarot cards to other people is that they have a tendency to think that every card has an individual meaning and it is their duty to memorize 78 complex sets of meanings before they can begin reading for others. 

That’s simply not true. 

It’s also incredibly inefficient and totally kneecaps you when you move on to learn another deck (and try memorizing ANOTHER 78 complex sets of meanings). Cards exist in relation to one another. Understanding those relationships lets you remember meanings quicker, better understand how cards in a spread might be connected, and give much smoother readings. 

If you’re learning Tarot for the first time or looking to bush up, here’s my advice after reading cards for 10 years. Please, learn from my mistakes.  Tarot is a language

In the same way you learn letters and string them into words and then string words into sentences to communicate, tarot is a language you learn so your intuition can communicate more fully with you and others. And like a language, it’s often best to start with the phrases that you’ll use the most. 

Practice: Go through your deck and pick out no more than 12 cards that are really calling to you and look up those meanings. Write them down if you’re up for it. Go through your deck and pick out no more than 12 cards that give you a feeling of unease and do the same. Notice any reoccurring symbols?

 Tarot is a story

How you understand that story may vary on your tradition, your experience level, your aims. Most standard Tarot decks follow the Fool’s Journey through the Major Arcana as he becomes more skilled and then more enlightened. A similar pattern can be seen in each of the suits. The Court Cards are less narrative in my opinion but a similar progression can be seen. 

Practice: Take out each of the suits one at a time and lay them out in a row. Read the meanings of each card and see how the story progresses. Write down a summary. Do the same with each of other suits’ courts and the major arcana.

Tarot is a system

You aren’t fluent until you know the language well enough to speak smoothly and in most situations. Similarly, it takes understanding Tarot at a high level to give the best quality readings and read without a book. No card exists in isolation and just like when they show up in a reading, you must read them in relation to the rest of the spread - it helps a lot to know them in relation to the rest of the deck. 

Practice: Lay every card in your deck out like this (pardon my bad MSPaint job). Major Arcana up top and Court Cards off to the right and all the numbers lined up with the Fool and World left hanging. Pick one of the cards that resonated with you in the first exercise and look at how it relates to all the other cards in the deck. If it’s the 8 of Pentacles, what do the other 8′s look like and speak to? What do 8 (Strength) and 18 (the Moon) in the Major Arcana connect to it (if at all)? How does it relate to the rest of the story of the Pentacles?  Hope this helps! If you have any questions, feel free to ask!

I don’t think any of you realise the lengths I’m willing to go too in order to fill my garden with these

[cheesedemon]

In Norwegian they are called troll branches. What is awesome about them is that they grow somewhat fast, so you’ll probably have to cut them at some point and the cut off branches will stay strong for years after you’ve cut them, so you can take them inside and decorate with the junk of your choice.

[misssatori]

Ah yes, a plant that even if I murder it with my neglect, will still look presentable.
