The Harvest.
a tarot spread for lammas.
1. The Reaper.
What part of your life do you need to let go of?
2. The Crop.
Where in your life do you need to continue to grow?
3. The Harvest.
Where in your life can you expect to see a reward?
Demeter says, witch RIGHTS!
Blessed Lughnasadh!
Why are ‘witch tips’ always like “use quartz as a substitute for any crystal!” and not the good stuff like “River spirits are almost always looking to fuck shit up, so if you rile em up and then feed them a name, they’ll lay someone tf out.”
Excellent ! My turn. I onced tricked a spirit into believing the red wine and dragon’s blood powder mixture I served it was the blood offering it was due. No idea how it bought that, no idea if it would work again, but when you have certain geasa, you make do. To whomever it may concern…
Witch Tip: Venusian plant spirits love flattery, love to have their praises sung. I also find they’re more active during midday in full sun. Saturnian herbs can be slow to open up, but are excellent teachers once they do.
Witch Tip: When visiting a graveyard, especially for magic purposes, leave a penny at the gate as offering to its guardians. I’ve seen them fight off spirits that would have hurt me otherwise.
Witch Tip: numerology is helpful but trust me, repeating that prayer or incarnation until you can barely speak and the words hang heavy from your tongue, rather than adhering to a set number of repetitions, will 1000% get you in an altered state of consciousness which will allow you to commune with the spirits at work much more easily. This is when you raise power and gain the ability to affect the weave.
Witch Tip: You don’t need to be in a ‘positive state of mind’ or any of that bs when performing magic. Use your power wherever it comes from. Feel your feelings and use their energy.
Witch Tip: If you have plants and tress around your property, you can have them help you create a solid ward against any ill intentions or malicious spirit that tries to enter the property. Regulalrly giving offering and holding communion with those spirits will ensure the continued power of the work.
Reblogging this version for that last point. As someone who works with Trees, 100% true!
I bonded with many Trees in my area and I was under their protection for a long time. Then came a really bad time where I separated myself from them and they distanced themselves as well as they didn’t feel welcome in my space anymore. They never truly abandoned me though, as once I removed myself from the situations that I kept getting myself into that created a huge rift, and I returned to the forest to seek forgiveness and wished to come back to them, they welcomed me and I am once again connected with them. Earn the trust of Tree and Forest Spirits, befriend them. They are more than willing to treat you like family if you treat them with love and respect.
I also bring them bio-degradable gifts and offerings to show my gratitude, though I never felt like it was demanded from me, I just think it is good to be giving to them as they are giving to us.
YO TREES ARE AMAZING I love working with plants but trees are so incredible I second all of this.
Another witch tip: once you create an alliance with a tree they can aide you in your spells like a giant wand. They can be so loving, friendly and wise and are happy to protect you and boost your magic if you show them kindness and support in return.
Look up the type of tree through plant apps like PlantNet or Picture This, some trees have different elements or are aligned with different planets. For example Birch is very energetic and fiery, ash is solar and vibrant, willow is lunar and healing, yew is death and regeneration. Oak is abundance and expansion. There’s a lot of info on each tree magical property but if you’re ever confused the good ole ‘as above so below’ mentality helps cause every tree correspondence has a lot to do with its physical state cause trees also have like physical powers.
The bark of a birch tree likes to roll off but it’s highly flammable and makes excellent fire starters. You can ask and gently rip off a piece already coming off.
Willow bark has been used as a type of pain relief in natural medicine (I think pharmacists back in the day created aspirin from their studies of it), willow also helps heal the heart
Yew is death and regeneration cause not only is it’s poisonous but if you chop it down it grows back
Oak is a massive tree that comes from a tiny lil’ acorn and produces a lot of acorns in turn feeding all the lil forest animals and giving shelter.
Anyway hope that helps! Plus it’s fun doing magic with some trees cause often their roots could be shaped in ways where it’s easy to set up a little altar for your spell at the base.

Beginning on Page 123/124:
“...the name of a troublesome police officer can be gathered and taken to a Catholic church. There the aspiring revolutionary can inform a priest the name is that of the recently deceased and pay for a mass to be said for the newly dearly departed. An entire church will affirm the officer is a dead man...”
“... Valerian root, also known as Vandal root, causes horrible accidents and bad luck to follow those whom it’s been thrown at. It can be sprinkled on cop cars or mixed with the dirt of a specific officer’s footprints. The dirt can be thrown in a jar with vinegar, Red Pepper flakes, and whole Black Pepper and buried in a cemetery...”
“...Red Pepper flakes, Black Pepper, Black Mustard seed, Valerian root, Spanish moss, and rusty nails can be thrown into ajar with water from a horrible, nasty place. Add Psalm 109 written in red ink to the jar and pray with extreme venom all the terrible things you wish to afflict your victim with. Seal the jar, throw it at the targets door with all your might, and return to safer ground...”
“... before any operation, or before joining in a protest or place where agitation could occur, prepare a tea of Bay leaves, Black Cohosh, and Star Anise before noon. Take the tea as the sun is rising and asperge the members of the cell taking part in the action, calling upon the spirits of the herbs to grant them success, protection, luck, as well as increased psychic perception. Throw the remaining water eastward...”
“...Take an empty glass bottle and pour in Red Pepper Flakes, Cayenne, and crushed styrofoam. Fill the bottle half way with (radacted because tumblr, it’s in the book), capping it. Take an Ace of Spades card and write the number “792” thirteen times on the front of it. Tear the card into little pieces and add it to the bottle. Tie, tape, or use metal wire to wrap a rag around the neck of the bottle, alternatively affixing the rag to the main body of the bottle, leaving the neck free to be used as a handle for greater throwing distance. Light the rag, throw the bottle far from you (and very far away from children, pets, and anyone else you do not wish harmed by its incendiary magic) and laugh, calling upon Dionysus the Liberator...”
“...in a blue flannel bag take Oregano, Fennel seed, Black Mustard seed, and three chips of Cascara Sagrada bark, praying over each group of herbs that their spirits awaken and keep you safe from all meddlesome individuals and authorities. Add a piece of paper with your name written on it and smeared with your blood, sealing the bag up afterward. A candle carved with the words ‘LAW KEEP AWAY” and dressed in an oil of the same name can be burned as you do this, and the bag can be kept near it as it burns to help charge it as you pray. Make a blend of the same herbs that went into the bag and burn them over charcoal, giving the spirit of the bag a name. When named, soak the bag in whiskey. Now it is alive. After all is said and done, feed the bag whiskey once a week and never let anybody other than yourself see it or touch it. If they do, they will kill the spirit and you will need to create an entirely new bag...”

Oh and our president is a piece of shit racist and unfollow this account if it hurts your poor little feelings to hear me say that. I have spent my whole life watching and experiencing racism and white silence. No more being nice. No more staying silent. If this hurts your feelings and you feel personally attacked by the sentiment then you ain’t ready to hear the message yet. I don’t have any more time for white fragility. I’ve been tip-toeing around it my whole life and I am done. For those that are using their privilege to speak up and make a difference, thank you. You are on the right side of history. ✊🏽 Artwork By Me: @BrooklynnMusic on Instagram

Any Pagans or witches interested in having a Beltane get together in Animal Crossing?? We can't have a bonfire together in real life, but we can do it online!
Anyone interested??
Hey guys! So I’ve set up a discord for everyone who wants to join. Since there are only 4 players per town, some of us are going to have to host, but I’m happy to host the first 4 players that join the discord! Personally, I’m going to be opening my village just after sunset where I live, around 8:30EST, but if you want to host you can open up whenever you want. Send me a message if you want to join or host!

“It is also important to avoid making regular offerings to the spirits, including you familiars. Each offering should be made as payment for a specific service performed. In this way they will always be active and eager to earn their keep. As it is written in the Book of Abramelin the spirits are industrious creatures and must not be coddled like pets.
On the other hand, a spirit who expect to be fed on a schedule will be less inclined to work and may become a lazy glutton. Your only option then is to withhold food until they agree to work, which is counterproductive and certainly not the kind of hostile relationship you want with them!
… Other exceptions to this rule would be offerings made to your ancestors and your personal head-spirit/guardian angel - for whom you can make regular offerings without harm. However, such regular offerings should be kept very simple (such as fire, water, and incense), and special or more elaborate offerings given only as thanks for specific work accomplished.”
