What Native people say about the use of sage: you can use sage, but you cannot smudge as nothing you are doing (waving sage around) is actually smudging. Smudging is a ceremony and you are, we promise, not smudging. Please buy sage from either us, or someone who sources the sage from us. White sage may not be considered endangered by the US government but corperate sourcing is making it difficult for us to source sage for our own religious purposes. Let alone to sell it.
What white people hear: never use sage ever, donât ever buy it, donât own it, donât even look at it.
Look, yâall. Thereâs a couple of facets to my talk today.
1) Yes! You can buy sage! You really, truly can! Buy it from either native sellers (go to a powwow! Eat our food, buy our stuff, watch some dancing!) Or buy it from a seller who sources the sage from native people. Pick one. And no, buying it from 5 Below doesnât count.
2) you CANNOT smudge. This isnât just you âshouldnâtââ this is a YOU ARE INCAPABLE OF SMUDGING. Waving a sage stick around your doorways IS NOT SMUDGING. It is smoke clensing. Smudging, depending on the tradition and tribe, could easily have dancing and drums involved. You, as a white person, do not have the cultural BACKGROUND to even know how it works. At all. Period.
3) please, for FUCKS SAKE, stop making posts here on tumblr where you tell other white people about cultural appropriation and what they can and cannot do. Please stop, your license has been revoked because none of you bother to get the facts right. We native people are FULLY CAPABLE OF DOING IT OURSELVES. Consider instead: a) reblogging our posts where we talk about it! Weâre here! We have made posts!! b) Making a post that states what we said and then LINKS BACK TO US. Screenshot with a link if you must. Stop centering your own voices in these conversations. You are already centered in everything, stop centering yourselves in a native space.
Iâm tired of this nonsense, yâall.
Thanks for coming to my TedTalk âą

Recently discovered that some people use the Greek alphabet in the same way some people use runes for divination.Â
Let me tell you, Iâm really liking this form of divination. I canât wait to get more practice with it!Â
A Guide to Greek Alphabet Divination (Runes)
As many may already know, Runes are a popular form of divination in order to communicate with the gods! However, aside from the popular Norse runes (elder futhark) that everyone might be aware of, did you know that thereâs also a form of ârune casting divinationâ for the Greek alphabet?
First found inscribed in Olympos, a city in ancient Lycia, the Greek alphabet divination system uses the 24 letters from the Greek language and assigns them meanings, and based on what rune you pull, can give you advice from the gods on your current situation!
There were many Alphabet Oracles in ancient Greece, and the idea of reading the Greek alphabet for signs of the gods is one of the oldest divination methods that we know of.
How do I create my ârunes?âÂ
To create your runes, any way of making them works! Historically, they would be painted onto pottery shards, but any way you can think of to have them accessible to throw/draw is completely okay. I have personally used black stones with gold paint on them.
You create one piece per letter, and in total there will be 24. Each letter will be listed and elaborated on later on in the post!
Iâve made my alphabet set. How do I use them?
In order to call upon the Theoi to get an answer, you can firstly call upon them in an invocation. After you have called upon them or asked your gods to give you an answer (sometimes no formal structure is needed) you can reach into a bag which contains the letters and pull out one at a time and read that, or you can grab them and throw them and look for patterns or groups of letters that are clumped together.Â
THE LETTER MEANINGS
Î - Alpha - âThe God Apollo [Apollon] says you will do everything successfully.â With his luck and good fortune, the current thing you are working on will turn out well and you will be the leader of your situation and have good transactions with others.
Î - Beta -Â âWith the help of Tyche, you will have an assistant [BoĂȘthos], who is the Pythian Apollon.â You might be at a time in your life where youâre struggling, but this divine-coded letter tells you that the gods that you worship are going to help you soon, so the signs you get might be more prophetic in nature.Â
Î - Gamma -Â âGaia [GĂȘ] will give you the ripe fruit of your labors.â It is time for you to take a break and admire the hard work you have put in. Gaia will reward you, and you will have abundance in happiness, emotional fulfillment, food, or all of the above.Â
Î - Delta -Â âIn customs inopportune strength [Dunamis] is weak.â Timing is everything. Wait for the right time to act, and do not act to hastily. Wait for your time, but at the same time, use your strength for good to make a change in your situation.
Î - Epsilon -Â âYou desire [EraĂŽ] to see the offspring of righteous marriages.â You need to surround yourself with good friendships, romances, allies, or relationships in general in order to get the most out of it. Surround yourself with positive people or situations to bring yourself up in a righteous way.
Î - Zeta -Â âFlee the very great storm [ZalĂȘ], lest you be hindered in some way.â If youâre already struggling, know when to pick your battles. Sometimes flight is better than fight, and only you know your own limitations.Â
Î - Eta -Â âBright Helios [HĂȘlios], who watches everything, watches you.â Helios knows that in the past you feel like you have been wronged. As the enforcer of oaths and promises, if you are honest with yourself and the situation the truth will come out and you will be aided.
Î - Theta -Â âYou have the helping Gods [Theoi] of this path.â If you are taking a plan of action do not worry! The Gods are guiding your way and you are in good hands.Â
Î - Iota -Â âThere is sweat [âidrĂŽs]; it excels more than everything.â Within your situation, there is going to be a lot of work. The gods recommend you buckle down and work as hard as you can, and it will not be easy. But it will be worth it.
Î - Kappa -Â âTo fight with the waves [Kuma] is difficult; endure, friend.â Now is not the time. You should wait until the vicious waves die down, and then take action.
Î - Lambda -Â ââThe one passing on the left [Laios] bodes well for everything.â Something that may seem really bad currently or in the future is actually going to turn out to be a blessing in disguise. Pay attention to your intuition!
Î - Mu -Â âIt is necessary to labor [MokhtheĂŽ], but the change will be admirable.â You might feel distressed right now and that nothing is going right. But keep working to change either your situation or yourself, and the results will be in your favour.
Î - Nu -Â ââThe strife-bearing [NeikĂȘphoros] gift fulfils the oracle.â Something will be given to you and enter your life. While it might not be obvious at first, this is the first domino in a line of changes that will happen in your life and make prophecy come true.Â
Î - Xi -Â âThere is no fruit to take from a withered [XĂȘros] shoot.â Being bitter and angry is not the way to go about things. Donât keep trying to pull water out of a well that is empty, and know when to let go.Â
Î - Omicron -Â âThere are no [Ou] crops to be reaped that were not sown.â In order to get things out of the situation, you have to plan ahead. What goes around comes around.Â
Î - Pi -Â âCompleting many [Polus] contests, you will seize the crown.â After many trials, you will achieve your goal. Persistence will give you your rewards, and do not be afraid to use your talents.Â
ÎĄ - Rho -Â âYou will go on more easily [Rhaion] if you wait a short time.â You should act, and quickly. Now is the best time and waiting longer is not a good idea. The stars are aligned and while it not be easy, there is no better time than the present.Â
ÎŁ - Sigma -Â âPhoibos Apollon speaks plainly [SaphĂŽs], âStay, friend.ââ The gods want to inform you to wait for more information before you make any decisions. In this time, relax, and let the signs come to you.
΀ - Tau - âYou will have a parting from the [TĂŽn] companions now around you.â Soon, people in your life might not stay the way they are. Friends might leave or enemies might leave. You might grow apart or distance or travel might force you away. Be wary of this, and act accordingly.Â
΄ - Upsilon - âThe affair holds a noble undertaking [Yposkhesis].â The task at hand is certainly a grand one, but with confidence, you, the hero of your own story, can pull through. You must acknowledge your strength, but also acknowledge the size of the task.Â
Ί - Phi - âHaving done something carelessly [Phaulos], you will thereafter blame the Gods.â Something is going wrong, and you may be trying to blame other things than the cause of the problem. Donât resort to pointing fingers. The Gods will help you if you do not take out your anger on them or others needlessly.Â
Χ - Khi - âSucceeding, friend, you will fulfill a golden [Khruseos] oracle.â Luck is on your side, and by mere chance, things might fall into place. The answer is positive, and you might be pleasantly surprised at all the riches that the world gives you in addition to your solution.
Κ - Psi - âYou have this righteous judgment [PsĂȘphos] from the Gods.â Truth will be brought forwards, so be careful in your actions. The Gods are watching, and they will be fair, honest, and unforgiving to those who deserve it. This includes those who might be harming you, as well.
Ω - Omega - âYou will have a difficult [Ămos] harvest season, not a useful one.â The times will be rough, and you will not get what you wish for at the end. You also might be forced to make tough decisions that you are not ready to make.
And those are the letters! Happy letter-casting!Â

An Alternate Look at Correspondences
I see a lot of people speaking about correspondences in a way that doesnât line up with my study and experience at all, so I figured Iâd put something out there and see where discussion leads.
Thereâs a big narrative on Witchblr that correspondences are an entirely personal phenomenon: that the same herb may be used in entirely different ways by two people within the same practice, and that anything can be substituted for almost anything else with the right mindset. Iâm going to challenge that some.Â
Personal Correspondences can absolutely exist but I think itâs false to say itâs because of the ingredient itself. Letâs take chamomile: if itâs been used for very similar goals across traditions and cultures for generations, thereâs probably a reason chamomile is associated with sleep. Our ancestors didnât pull correspondences from nowhere, they were pulling what worked. (Now we have some science to break down ingredients and explain where some of that effectiveness came from, but we canât do that with things like luck or love. I think itâs safe to assume the same trust in logic should be applied.) So if you want to use chamomile to add energy and it works, that says âMy personal energy prompted by this ingredient is enough to override the energies of the ingredient itself and still be effective.â Which is awesome and totally a thing! But thatâs you being a good energy worker, not chamomile being good for energy. Substitutions absolutely can be made, magic is designed to be workable with what you have around you. That said, you need to understand the role that ingredient plays and substitute accordingly. You would never substitute sugar with salt in the kitchen just because they look the same, youâd substitute the sugar with something designed to add sweetness! Lemon juice and cream of tartar are wildly different ingredients, but both will work as stabilizers in sweets and can easily be substituted in that context. But I wouldnât sprinkle cream of tartar over my salmon when I donât have a lemon. Spells are recipes and the ingredient is there for a reason to play a role; substitute for that role just like you would in a kitchen.
and of course, Different Traditions are going to have different ways they believe ingredients and correspondences work, certain associations based on folklore, etc. which all plays a factor in variation as well. With so much variation and conflicting information, I think setting personal rules for ourselves about how we believe correspondences do (and donât!) work is an important part in establishing a solid practice. If the ingredients can equally mean whatever, then why would we bother mentioning specific ingredients at all, you know?Â
