A Good Witch Guide to Smoking Herbs!
I’ve been getting a lot of questions about my “witch cigarettes” lately, so here it is, people! I am just a humble Good Witch and do not claim to have all the answers; this information has been collected by my personal experiences, friends who are herbalists and the internet. I am not a doctor and none of this information has been approved by the FDA. PLEASE do your own research and remember that herbs are serious, real deal stuff that can have both positive AND negative effects. Always consult whomever it is you consult and use your damn brain when making decisions for yourself. Enjoy and use responsibly. :)
How I got into smoking herbs:
I love to smoke. I feel very connected to the ancient carnal pleasure that is taking burning plants into my lungs. However I do NOT love smoking tobacco… anymore. I smoked tobacco for a very long time and all it did was drain my wallet, my energy, made me smell bad and give me bronchitis all the time. Quitting was very hard for me, and is still something I struggle with. When I’m stressed out I tend to substitute weed for a cigarette, and that is also problematic. I catch myself smoking weed just because I want to smoke SOMETHING and know I can’t do the tobacco anymore. This is also not cost effective, and I just get too damn doped out; I’m not smoking because I want to get high or settle my stomach, it’s because I want to burn something in my lungs.
An herbalist friend of mine turned me on to the joys of smoking OTHER herbs, and I proudly present you with a variation on their “recipe”. These herbs are cheap, organic, and have many benefits I can obtain by smoking them. I get to feel in touch with my witchy smoke roots and not completely tear myself up with harsh chemical soaked tobacco or waste all my kind bud on compulsive habits. They are extremely affordable, and for about $40 you can get more herbs then you’ll know what to do with delivered right to your door. Win win!! I find that it’s a lot easier to not smoke a cigarette when I know I have a healthier option available.
Okay! On to the nitty gritty!
I order my herbs from Mountain Rose Herbs in Oregon, but I’m sure there are other reputable sources for such things. I buy organic filters and papers, and I use a little rolling machine to pre-roll them for on the road.
The herbs will need to be ground up with a mortar and pestle to be the right size for rolling/smoking and there will be some sticks to pick out. (The sticks burn too hot and also poke holes in yer papers.. d'oh!) It’s best practice to grind your herbs together in small batches, this way they masticate together in the batch and all the good stuff stays in your stash. I usually just grind up enough to roll a dozen or so “witch sticks” to keep with me throughout the week, and I just repeat the process when necessary.
Here’s what goes inside:
Hawthorn Leaf and Flower Very commonly used as a tobacco substitute! Has antioxidant properties and promotes a sense of well being and a boost of energy!
Lavender Smells and tastes AMAZING! I used to mix it into my tobacco in the old days just because I liked the taste and smell so much! Lavender is great for anxiety, relaxation, depression and relaxing your body when tense.
Damiana Enhances dreams, produces a mild high that can last an hour or so, and is an aphrodisiac (hey HEY!) Damiana also improves digestion, promotes wellness and helps increase energy levels. Can also be burned as in an incense.
Mullein Another tobacco alternative, mullein is said to actually clear your lungs out when you smoke it, it has anti-asthmatic properties! It’s a slight sedative and has been used to treat spasmodic coughs and asthma for a looooong ass time. This is a great one!
Red Raspberry Leaf RRL is a sedative and muscle relaxant, so it’s great for menstrual cramps and body aches and pains! It also helps to neutralize the toxins in tobacco, so it’s helpful if you’re using this blend to quit the ‘baccy. This is a great one to make tea out of as well.
Wood Betony Awesome for headaches and pain relief, helps with migraines and nerve pain. Good for keeping a clear mind and also good for making wands. Was once thought to be endowed with powers against evil spirits! Take THAT energy vampires!!
Pipsessewa Helps with water retention, slugishness and weight gain. Reduces and balances Kapha in the body. Heals stomach problems. Warms and activates lymphatic systems. Extracts are also used to flavor rootbeer!
Mugwort Improves dream recall, promotes lucid dreaming and helps those who have trouble falling asleep. Calms and relaxes. Encourages altered states of consciousness. Rad.
Interesting read on an interesting subject.
SO
Smoking generally is a no-no because putting smoke into your lungs, etc., insert obligatory warning here. BUT, when smoking these herbs, here’s what to look out for:
Hawthorn Leaf: In some people, hawthorn can cause nausea, stomach upset, fatigue, sweating, headache, dizziness, palpitations, nosebleeds, insomnia, agitation, and other problems. It is also uncertain if it is safe to smoke it while pregnant or breast feeding, or while around people who are. You also should not smoke it if you are on any blood pressure medications, erectile dysfunction medications, or on any heart medications, or if you have blood pressure problems.
Lavender: This one is actually pretty safe, although the pregnancy and breast feeding warnings are still in effect because of lack of information. Also, if you have allergies to other flowers, you may have an allergy to lavender. There are no known drug interactions.
Damiana: Again with the pregnancy and breast feeding warnings. Generally considered safe, however, you should avoid it if you have blood sugar problems, have diabetes, are being treated for diabetes, are about to undergo surgery, or have just undergone surgery.
Mullein: There is insufficient information, so assume the general “don’t smoke it around pregnant or nursing people” warning.
Raspberry Leaf: Do not take when nursing or pregnant, etc. Raspberry leaf, like anything that can be used for the menstrual cycle, affects hormones, and in particular this is a possible estrogenic. If that’s an issue for you, don’t take it, but otherwise its pretty safe. If you begin to develop signs of a hormone problem, such as bleeding or spotting, probably discontinue use and seek the help of an actual doctor.
Wood Betony: The usual pregnancy/nursing warnings apply. Do not take if you are having blood pressure problems or if you are on blood pressure medication, as they may interact.
Pipsessewa: There is insufficient evidence to say whether this is conclusively safe, so approach it with the usual pregnancy/nursing/allergy warnings.
Mugwort: This is a common allergen and handling it may trigger an allergic reaction in you, so be careful. It is unsafe to use or handle if you are pregnant or breast feeding, and it is likely unsafe to smoke it around pregnant or breast feeding people.
Please note that I am not a doctor, I’m just a practiced herbalist who has seen herbal ingestion go wrong too catastrophically and too often. The list above is pretty solid as long as you do your own research and make sure that you, personally are fit to ingest the herbs above.
Please also consult a doctor before ingesting herbs you don’t know about, especially if you have any severe medical conditions or are on medications.
Youtube is a wonderful resource with lots of helpful information on it! I’ve collated together all the Divination Lessons I could find. If any of these links break, or you find something that should be added to the list, please message me!
This is as much a resource for me as it is for you - I have only watched part of most of these so take them with a grain of salt!

More Basic Basics of Ancient Greek: How to pray the ancient way
So you’re a Hellenic polytheist, and you’ve decided to add a touch of history to your prayers: you want to say them, or part of them, in Ancient Greek. While this is by no means a requirement - the Gods will surely understand you no matter which language you speak - Ancient Greek in prayer and ritual can function like a liturgical language, and can make you feel closer to those who first practised this religion. But where to start? Which words to use? This post is here to help.
The following words and phrases are all drawn from ancient texts, ranging from the 8th century BC to the 4th century AD. (If you’re curious about where a certain phrase appears, you’re welcome to send me an ask.) Pick the ones that resonate most with you, try them out, and have fun!
Pro tip: before we start, I recommend that you get familiar with the alphabet and standard pronunciation, and for more versatility, check out the basics of Greek grammar and how the case system works.
However, if it’s all too much for you, skip to the end where I’ll offer a few templates ready for you to use!
Greetings and invocations
The most common Ancient Greek greeting, which you might’ve encountered before, is χαῖρε. When addressing several people or Gods, it’s χαίρετε. It literally means “rejoice!” and has a similar usage to “hail”, “salve/salvete” or simply “hi”.
In the Iliad 23.179, Achilles greets Patroclus’ dead soul with the phrase χαῖρέ μοι, ὦ Πάτροκλε, καὶ εἰν Ἀίδαο δόμοισι: I greet you (litt. “rejoice for me”), Patroclus, even in the home of Hades.
However, in prayers and hymns, χαῖρε/χαίρετε is less common as a greeting than as a farewell. A more common formula is κλυθί μοι: this means “listen to me”. When addressing several deities, use the plural form κλῦτε μοι.
The next thing you will need is the name of the deity or deities, in the vocative. This is the most important part: many prayers skip χαῖρε and κλυθί μοι and start directly with the deity. As in the quote above, the name can be preceded by ὦ, which is the equivalent of English “O”.
Here are the names of major Hellenic deities (nominative) with their forms in the vocative:
Ζεύς (Zeus): Ζεῦ
Ἥρα/Ἥρη (Hera): same as nominative
Ποσειδών (Poseidon): Πόσειδον
Δημήτηρ (Demeter): Δήμητερ
Ἀΐδης (Hades): Ἀΐδη
Ἑστία/Ἑστίη (Hestia): same as nominative
Ἀθηνᾶ/Ἀθήνη (Athena): same as nominative
Ἑρμῆς (Hermes): Ἑρμῆ
Ἄρτεμις (Artemis): Ἄρτεμι
Ἀπόλλων (Apollon): Ἄπολλον
Ἥφαιστος (Hephaistos): Ἥφαιστε
Διόνυσος (Dionysos): Διόνυσε
Ἄρης (Ares): Ἄρες
Περσεφόνη (Persephone): same as nominative
Bonus: in both nominative and vocative, God is θεός, Goddess is θεά, Gods is θεοί, and Goddesses is θεαί.
To invoke two or more deities, use και, τε και or τε… τε, which all mean “and”, e.g.: Ἄρτεμι καὶ Ἄπολλον, Ζεῦ τε καὶ Ἥρη, Δημήτηρ τε Περσεφόνη τε.
Another option is καλέω, “I call”, or κικλῄσκω, “I summon”. If you choose one of these, you will need the name of the deity and their epithets in the accusative, not in the vocative as above. (If you have trouble figuring out a certain deity’s name, let me know.)
Epithets
After calling upon the deity, you will need to qualify them using one or more epithets. These will need to be in the same case as the deity’s name (vocative or accusative, depending on the formula you chose). The Theoi Project provides lists of epithets for each deity which you may want to look through. Make sure to choose aspects and areas appropriate to your request, as in the following examples:
ἀλλ᾽ ἄγ᾽ Ἐλευσῖνος θυοέσσης δῆμον ἔχουσα / καὶ Πάρον ἀμφιρύτην Ἀντρῶνά τε πετρήεντα, / πότνια, ἀγλαόδωρ᾽, ὡρηφόρε, Δηοῖ ἄνασσα: but now, you who hold the people of sweet-smelling Eleusis, and Paros encircled by sea and rocky Antron, lady, giver of beautiful gifts, bringer of seasons, queen Deo (Homeric Hymn to Demeter 490-492)
The Homeric Hymn to Demeter is concerned with Demeter in her seasonal, fertility aspects, as well as how she came to be worshipped in Eleusis. The epithets chosen by the author in the above quote reflect this.
ὦ πότνια, πότνια, θύμασιν βροτησίοις / χαρεῖσα: o lady, lady, rejoicing in human sacrifice (Euripides Iphigenia in Aulis 1524-1525)
This line is spoken just before Iphigenia is sacrificed to Artemis, so it makes sense to describe the Goddess as appreciating this kind of ritual.
Ζεῦ ἄνα, Δωδωναῖε, Πελασγικέ, τηλόθι ναίων, / Δωδώνης μεδέων δυσχειμέρου: lord Zeus, Dodonian, Pelasgian, who lives afar, ruler of harsh-weathered Dodona (Iliad 16.233-234)
Here, Achilles is calling on a particularly archaic and venerable aspect of Zeus in the hopes that Patroclus will be kept safe. Dodona, the oldest known oracle of Zeus, and the Pelasgians, pre-Greek peoples, underline this ancient power.
Past worship
If making a request, you may want to mention past offerings and devotions you have made for the deity. This usually takes the form “if ever I…”, as in the Iliad 503-504: εἰ ποτε δή σε μετ’ ἀθανάτοισιν ὄνησα / ἢ ἔπει ἢ ἔργῳ: if ever I, among the immortals, pleased you in words or in actions…
In simpler words: εἰ ποτε σε (sg)/ὑμᾶς (pl) ὄνησα ἢ ἔπει ἢ ἔργῳ, “if ever I pleased you (sg/pl) in words or in actions”.
After this, you can move straight on to your prayer, or you can specify: μοι κρῆνον (sg)/κρῆνατε (pl) ἐέλδωρ, “fulfill (sg/pl) my wish”, or λιτὰς ἐμῶν δέξο/δέξασθε, “receive my prayers”.
Supplications and thanksgiving
Then, finally, you get to the actual prayer. This can take two forms: supplication (please grant me a thing) or thanksgiving (thank you for granting me a thing).
In a supplication, you can either use a verb in the imperative (grant me a thing) or in the optative (may you grant me a thing). Though giving orders to a deity may seem strange, neither is more polite or appropriate than the other - you can choose whichever you prefer. Here are a few verbs you might find useful:
φέρε/φέρετε (imperative sg/pl), φέροις/φέροιτε (optative sg/pl): to bring (+ accusative)
πέμπε/πέμπετε, πέμποις/πέμποιτε: to send (+ acc.)
δίδου/δίδοτε, διδοῖς/διδοῖτε: to give (+ acc.)
ἰάτρευε/ἰατρεύετε, ἰατρεύοις/ἰατρεύοιτε: to heal (+ acc.)
ἐπιμελέου/ἐπιμελέσθε ὑπέρ, ἐπιμελέοιο/ἐπιμελέοισθε ὑπέρ: to take care of X (+ genitive)
Some things you can pray for:
ἐγω (nom.), με/ἐμε (acc.), μου/ἐμου (gen.): I, me
for “my X”, use “X μου”
μήτηρ (nom.), μητέρα (acc.), μητρός (gen.): mother
πατήρ, πατέρα, πατρός: father
ἀδελφός, ἀδελφόν, ἀδελφοῦ: brother
ἀδελφή, ήν, ῆς: sister
φίλος, ον, ου (male) φίλη, ην, ης (female): friend
οἶκος, ον, ου: home
ἀλκή, ήν, ῆς or βία, αν, ας: strength
θάρρος, ος, ους: emotional strength, courage
ἀγαθή τύχη, ἀγαθήν τύχην, ἀγαθῆς τύχης: good luck
ὑγίεια, αν, ας: health
εἰρήνη, ην, ης: peace
σωτηρία, αν, ας: safety, preservation
In a fragment of a poem by Simonides (PMG 543), Danae prays that her troubles reach an end, saying εὑδέτω δ’ ἄμετρον κακόν: may this endless sorrow sleep. Εὑδέτω κακόν or variants like εὑδέτω φόβον (”may fear/panic sleep”), εὑδέτω νόσον (”may illness sleep”) or εὑδέτω ἔριν (”may quarrel sleep”) could be a nice image to include.
When it comes to thanksgiving, a common phrase is ἐμοῦ ἔκλυες/ἐκλύετε εὐξαμένου, “you listened to me when I prayed”. You can follow it with (καὶ) νῦν χάριν φέρω σοι/ὑμῖν, “(and) now I bring you thanks”. Εὐχαριστῶ σοι/ὑμῖν, “I am thankful to you”, is an alternative which is still widespread in modern Greece, though in ancient times, it was mostly used within Christianity.
Farewells
Once you have spoken your prayers, it is time to take your leave of the deity. This is most commonly done using χαῖρε/χαίρετε, as mentioned above. If you wish, you can name the deity again along with a couple of epithets. Telling them you will remember them in future prayers is a nice touch; the Homeric Hymns use αὐτὰρ ἐγὼ καὶ σεῖο καὶ ἄλλης μνήσομ᾽ ἀοιδῆς: but I will remember you, and another song. A simpler, adapted version would be σοῦ/ὑμῶν μνήσομαι καὶ ἄλλης εὐχῆς, “I will remember you, and another prayer”. Another possibility could be σοῦ/ὑμῶν μνήσομαι ἔπει καὶ ἔργῳ, “I will remember you in words and in actions”.
In summary
χαῖρε/χαίρετε: hail
κλυθί μοι/κλῦτε μοι: listen to me
καλέω or κικλῄσκω: I call, I summon
εἰ ποτε σε/ὑμᾶς ὄνησα ἢ ἔπει ἢ ἔργῳ: if ever I pleased you in words or in actions
μοι κρῆνον/κρῆνατε ἐέλδωρ: fulfill my wish
λιτὰς ἐμῶν δέξο/δέξασθε: receive my prayers
εὑδέτω X: may X sleep
ἐμοῦ ἔκλυες/ἐκλύετε εὐξαμένου: you listened to me when I prayed
νῦν χάριν φέρω σοι/ὑμῖν: now I bring you thanks
εὐχαριστῶ σοι/ὑμῖν: I am thankful to you
σοῦ/ὑμῶν μνήσομαι καὶ ἄλλης εὐχῆς: I will remember you, and another prayer
σοῦ/ὑμῶν μνήσομαι ἔπει καὶ ἔργῳ: I will remember you in words and in actions
Prayer examples
With all this, you can now create your own short prayers in Ancient Greek! Below I have written out a few templates you can work with. If you have any questions, or if you need help figuring out a certain phrase, I’m happy to help!
A thanksgiving prayer to Zeus:
Ὦ Ζεῦ, ὕπατε, πάτερ ἀνδρῶν τε θεῶν τε, ἐμοῦ ἔκλυες εὐξαμένου καὶ νῦν χάριν φέρω σοι. Χαῖρε, Ζεῦ ἄνα, καὶ σοῦ μνήσομαι ἔπει καὶ ἔργῳ.
O Zeus, most high, father of men and Gods, you listened to me as I prayed and now I bring you thanks. Hail, lord Zeus, and I will remember you in words and in actions.
A prayer to Artemis for anxiety relief:
Κλυθί μοι, Ἄρτεμι σώτειρα, ἡμερασία, λυσιμέριμνε, καὶ εἰ ποτε σ’ ὄνησα ἢ ἔπει ἢ ἔργῳ, μοι κρῆνον ἐέλδωρ˙ δεῖμα μου πέμποις εἰς ὀρέων κεφάλας, καὶ φέροις εἰρήνην. Χαῖρε, φίλη θεά.
Listen to me, Artemis saviour, of a gentle nature, deliverer of troubles, and if ever I pleased you in words or actions, fulfill my wish: may you send my fear away to the summits of the mountains, and bring down peace. Hail, dear Goddess.
A prayer to Apollon and Asclepios for a sick friend:
Καλέω Ἀπόλλωνα ἰατρόν καὶ Ἀσκληπιόν ἤπιον, φιλολάους˙ ἰατρεύετε φίλον ἐμου καὶ δίδοτε αὐτῷ ὑγίειαν, τε καὶ εὑδέτω νόσον.
I call upon Apollon the healer and kind Asclepios, lovers of the people: heal my friend and give him good health, and may illness sleep.
Secret witch tip!
Use macrame as discreet knot magic!
Many people have these wall hangings in their home as rustic decorations, but making your own can pass off as a fun craft project while secretly adding energies to the knots!
Bonus: use a wooden pole from a tree that matches your intention, and colored yarn or beads that correspond with the energies you’re putting in!
There’s tons of tutorials on youtube and online, so go wild!
I know it’s not a shamble but it’s like…what a shamble wishes it were, maybe?
“Welcome to witchcraft class let’s talk about curses.”
“Hello students today I’m going to teach you about a bunch of very creepy stuff that I may or may not have done let’s just not think about it too hard okay?”
“That bad dream you had was definitely a curse. Every bad dream you’ve ever had was probably a curse.”
“To break a curse walk backwards through your kitchen to the fridge, pull out a milk jug filled with holy water, and chug it while standing there with the door open.”
“There are fifty thousand types of witchcraft you can do with a rusty nail so I hope we’ve all had our tetanus shots!”
“You definitely don’t need dirt or hair or whatever creepy stalker mementos from your target to be able curse them. Honey, this is the age of Instagram. It’s time to curse your enemy’s Cheerios.”
“You’ll have to memorize these next ten steps. You can’t write them down because you don’t want to have any evidence in your house that you’ve ever even thought about doing any of this.”
“Don’t huff grave dust. You don’t get any cool visions from it. Trust me, I know.”
“Now, remember: I’ve only told you 1/100th of the things I know how to do today, so don’t try any of this stuff on me because then you’ll learn the rest of what I know from what you’ll probably consider the wrong point of view.”
XD XD XD I literally could not love this more.
Imma Teach You How to Gain Some Witchy Energy
Alright my friends. I have this problem: I am unmotivated and extremely barren energy-wise. Here are my fun ideas for gaining energy! This is kind of a Witchy self care day plan. You don’t have to do all of these btw. Do what you can. Anywho. Onto the things!
🔮 Go outside. Find a tree, preferably a strong mauve old one. Oaks are perfect. Place your hands on the bark, or by your sides. Align your feet with where the roots should be, and take a deep breath. As you exhale, visualize all the emptiness inside you draining with the air. Then inhale, and take in the trees strength from the roots. Do this as much as you need to. 🔮 make yourself a sachet full of your favourite flower petals. I would use carnation for strength, lavender for cleansing (I know its an herb pfft), and sunflower for energy and brightness. It can be a coffee filter full of your flower petals. Just tie off the end with a hair tie. Or you can be fancy. Idc. Whatever works, friendo. 🔮 Draw a sigil for energy. Good energy, mind you. Whatever that means for you, make it. Draw it on yourself or on the sachet, or somewhere on your clothes. Like a tag. 🔮 If you have spirit companions ask them for energy and help. Sometimes they are more than willing to offer you some help! 🔮 Grab yourself a water bottle. Put some quartz in it. Now shake that magical drink like there’s no tommorow for a full minute. Make sure the quartz is clean and put the cap on tight. Take out the quartz (put the water in a glass so its easier to do so) and drink the gem elixir! Woo hoo!!! 🔮 Draw yourself a bath. Add some bubbles. Fill that puppy. Now light a few yellow candles. Set quartz, carnelian, and turquoise somewhere they won’t get wet, but still close to the candles. The energy you will feel should be amazing, trust me. The quartz should amplify the energy of the other crystals and the candles. The carnelian is full of warmth and joy and vitality. The turquoise helps with creativity, and in my experience, motivation and inspiration. 🔮 Put a pillow on your bed or take one from it. Say this chant over it as you draw a circle on its surface with your finger: “Pillow keep my energy tight in your arms every night.” That should keep your energy from draining whole you sleep. I found that when I dream a lot, I feel tired when I awaken. When I did this, it never happened again. 🔮 Take a nap. Or lay down and rest for an hour. Don’t make any posts or do things that could drain you. Just chill and try to recharge. Place crystals and herbs nearby if you want. 🔮 Make sure to put at least one of these types of days in your schedule every two weeks or so. Alternatively, do it when you need it. I need it Evert week. Some of you might need it more often. You do you. 🔮Eat lots of fruits and veggies. Their nutrients provides lots of good energy, physically and metaphysically (due to their properties). If you can’t afford these, try growing your own or adding herbs and spices to your food if you’ve got them.
i have a big ol’ pillar candle that i carved my ‘self’ sigil on, when i have spare energy I sit holding the (unlit) candle for a little while, focussing on pouring a bit of my energy into it and transfer some of it into the candle so if i need specifically *my* energy in a spell, and dont have any spare, i light the candle and put it into whatever im doing that way
today a baby witch came in asking me about runes and runestones and i was like we dont sell em but you can 100% make your own pal and gave them like 15 different ways to make yr own and that kid was like amazed that they could make a thing they needed
youre welcome child, DIY yr shit
Talk about a spell for motivation and energy, not to mention how AMAZING it would smell.
@swampseer
I’m literally starving because if i eat i can’t pay rent.
Nowhere wants to hire me full time and I cant get another part time job because my hours at my current place are so changable but for weeks now I’ve been working <10 hours which is the bare minimum i need to make rent. I’m kind of fucked.
So if you’ve ever wanted a tarot reading i am selling them for £1 per card. You can choose from either the wild unknown deck or the welcome to night vale deck. I can also do you an oracle reading with the black prism oracle deck, same rate of £1/card. If you would like a combined oracle/tarot reading, I can do that too, just specify how many of each deck you want.
For witchy folk: I can craft you sigils for £2, these will include a set of recommended colours for added oomph. I can also mail you the original if you can cover shipping. I can also custom make spells from ingredients you have for £5, just tell me what you have available.
You can reach me here (IM or message) or via email [email protected]
Thanks
i’d really like to buy some food and laundry detergent and maybe some printer credit to print more CVs out tomorrow if y’all could see to reblogging this i’d be mighty grateful
This is a post from my main blog, if yall witchy folk over here could spread it around that’d be fab
I am so sorry it was on Snapchat I'm hoping @burn-the-rich saved it
"write it down and burn it" is a valid spell technique
"write it down and burn it" is a valid spell technique
Hi! I'm sorry if this is dumb or seems rude, I don't mean it that way at all I'm just genuinely curious for your opinion. I was just wondering about casting spells, particularly curses; what gives witches the right to bend the energies of the universe to their will? Instead of waiting for the universe to, in a sense, "balance the scales"? I'm so sorry again if this seems disrespectful, I truly don't mean it to be I'm just curious!
Well, let’s turn this around: what robs us of that right?
What tells us that, as entities put on this planet and put through many things that are challenging, painful, or unjust, that we are not allowed to do what it takes to overcome those things?
When has the universe told you that it will do that for you? When has it told you that you, yourself, are not part of what it uses to maintain itself? You’re part of the universe, aren’t you?
Perhaps it has told you that you don’t have that right. And if so, it’s not mine to interfere with your path. But the universe has never told me any such thing. If it’s said anything, it is that it will not do my work for me.
Personally, it is my observation that it is much more frequently an issue of people of power telling those they lord over to “turn the other cheek” when they are being subjugated, and in that sense, my belief that we indeed have a right to curse is political. The only leaders I’ve ever seen condemn it are the same ones who have a history of abusing their subordinates. What a coincidence, eh?
Of course, people individually decide or intuit their own path; we’re not all meant to be artists and we’re not all meant to be warriors. Similarly, we’re not all meant to be love and light, and we’re not all meant to specialize in the baneful.
But when the universe makes demands of us that seem to beg for a response, I think it is much more logical to ask how we should, rather than whether we dare.
how would one make a shamble
I just reblogged a post about shambles and Discworld. The bigger question is: what do you have in your pocket right now to make some magic on the fly?
I dont have pockets but there are crumbs in my bra and catfur sticking to my pants, is that maybe enough
I would also add that you also have saliva and hair and maybe some shoelaces. Good enough for some witchn’
nail polish chips, any jewelry you’re wearing, watches, fingernail gunk (if applicable)
little witchy things: having a curse all planned out but the minute you get home you just sink into an incredibly deep calm state and cant summon the proper pissed off-ness required to properly do the thing
