It’s so nice to see an ancient relic post be kept alive for the younger generation on this website 😂
I like the word “witchery” because of its linguistic similarity to “fuckery.” Witchcraft is fuckery; fuckery is witchcraft. They are inextricably connected in my mind and it makes me happy.
Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
Look buddy, i’m just trying to make it to Friday.
reblog if its friday and you made it
Mood Boosting Orange Milk Bath 🍊
My mom is visiting me soon, and she’ll be here on her birthday, so I thought I’d make her something that all mothers need! Something relaxing, mood lifting, and positive with self care involved.
Ingredients:
1 cup baking soda
½ cup citric acid
½ cup cornstarch (optional, as I didn’t have this today and didn’t use any)
¼ dry milk (optional, if you don’t want your bath milky, you are free to leave this out)
3 tablespoons of Epsom salts
a handful of dried & crushed orange peel
1 teaspoon of water
3 - 4 teaspoons of coconut oil (or any base oils you have at hand, such as almond oil)
15 - 20 drops of orange essential oil
This made me 1 large, 1 medium, & 1 mini bath bomb. I didn’t have a ritual or chant, I simply had some of my mood boosting crystals & a plant companion to ensure I was putting only positive energy into making these🌿
To make dried & crushed orange peel:
Save the peel from an orange, being sure to remove all fruit from the skin. Lay out to dry, best if it is in the sun. This will take a few days, though I’m sure there are ways to dry in the oven, just be sure to research it before just popping them in to the oven and burning them to a crisp! Once the peels are completely dry, toss the peel into a blender and pulse the blender until the pieces are as small or large as you wish. Store in airtight container.I may make a full tutorial on this if requested, but it’s pretty straight forward.
Good luck, my witchy friends!
Blessed be,
~ Tea, Spells & Secrets🥀
The Signs as Your Shadow Self
I often post about how the sign or signs that you do not like are the parts of yourself you ignore or need development on. You can use this post for the signs you do not like and also for your 7th House sign, since the 7th House is the house of self-completion and more often than not, you will not care much for that particular sign.
If You Don’t Like Aries… You need to develop your self-esteem, passion, assertion, and originality.
If You Don’t Like Taurus… You need to develop your sensuality, your views on beauty, maturity, and loyalty.
If You Don’t Like Gemini… You need to develop your curiosity, knowledge, and you need to refrain from drama and negative thinking.
If You Don’t Like Cancer… You need to develop empathy, comfort and security, emotional expression, and compassion.
If You Don’t Like Leo… You need to develop self-love, creativity, enthusiasm, and confidence.
If You Don’t Like Virgo… You need to develop productivity, stability, and focus on your health and helping others improve themselves.
If You Don’t Like Libra… You need to develop cooperation, self-care, and passive approaches to confrontations.
If You Don’t Like Scorpio… You need to develop control, perception, and understanding of psychology and spirituality.
If You Don’t Like Sagittarius… You need to develop an open-mind, express your humor and generosity, and try new things.
If You Don’t Like Capricorn… You need to develop maturity, discipline, and a stable foundation for yourself to fall back on.
If You Don’t Like Aquarius… You need to develop compassion for humanity, individuality, and cooperation with others.
If You Don’t Like Pisces… You need to develop your intuition, your vulnerability, your connection with animals, and your spirituality.
Moon Sign Observations
🌙 Aries Moons have bold and unique methods to comforting themselves and relieving their intense emotions. Most of them resort to heavy music or intense/energetic hobbies to help deal with their rage, sadness, and restlessness. Some even give themselves drastic makeovers when met with deeper emotions. If their feelings are not dealt with, they will lash out on either themselves or others.
🌙 Taurus Moons may not be the best at expressing their emotions but they are perfect with keeping eye contact and making sure they show how they feel through body language.. And through their bustling humor. They rely more on what they can physical feel rather than what cannot be acknowledged through their senses. They are creatures of comfort and express how they feel through sensuality.
🌙 Gemini Moons process emotions through intellect, thinking, and communication. They are extremely moody and restless, always searching for answers through the internet, through past experiences, or through other people. They will google the symptoms of their emotions as a distraction or as a means to understand what they are going through. They will also gladly explain their feelings but usually, they add a tinge of humor or sarcasm to make themselves feel like they are still in control of the situation and are not coming across as weak.
🌙 Cancer Moons are only comfortable when their needs and their loved ones’ needs are met. They will go to extreme lengths to provide security, stability, and affection for the people they care about, often smothering their loved ones in the process without realizing it. Essentially, they care too much and they will see a fault in themselves if one of their loved ones are feeling down.
🌙 Leo Moons have a hard time expressing sympathy in a conventional way. When someone comes to them with an emotional issue, they think the best way to handle it is to distract the person from their feelings through creative projects, parties, or by bringing up things they need acknowledgement for themselves. They can seem vain because of this, but for them, this how they show love and generosity.
🌙 Virgo Moons find comfort in productivity, organization, and stability. How they view such traits depends on them. Some Virgo Moons are organized in their chaos and their messy environments, whereas others are so focused on perfectionism that they keep everything spotless. Either way, they know where everything is and how everything operates. When something is wrong, they will express the opposite of what they view as organized.
🌙 Libra Moons are very emotional and people-oriented. Because of their compassion and consideration for others. But what people seem to dismiss is that they are still air influenced, meaning they process feelings through their intellect and logic. They focus more on the feelings of others than their own feelings due to their need to provide harmony and balance, usually putting their emotional well being aside.
🌙 Scorpio Moons experience powerful feelings that are so “loud”, they try to control them and quiet them down by attempting to ignore them. For this reason, they seem emotionless and cold upon first impression. Spend awhile with them and you will see them begin to struggle to keep themselves stable. Inside them are raging waves and thunderstorms begging to flood their surroundings. They require constant reassurance and devotion to help them find balance.
🌙 Sagittarius Moons feel confined by their emotions and usually form various methods of escapism in the process. They are known for attempting to stimulate their mind or their body to cancel out their feelings. Their stimulation ranges from gaming to music to sports or to sex to distract themselves. When they are met with their feelings with no way to escape, they become irritable and reckless. In a means to escape, they say or do things they don’t really mean and later cool off and feel horrible about their impulsive nature.
🌙 Capricorn Moons have the most difficult time dealing with their emotions since the moon, ruling Cancer, opposes the sign. They try to dominate their own heart in an attempt to feel powerful and dominant. They often equate emotional expression with weakness and vulnerability and usually cannot understand someone who expresses their feelings to them. When feelings are involved, they go blank. Overtime, they will be met with various emotional breakdowns and karmic experiences to help them battle their need for control. They will eventually take authority over their own authority, so to speak.
🌙 Aquarius Moons have a chaotic relationship with their own feelings. Sometimes they take pride in their ability to process their emotions intellectually instead of actually “feeling” them. Other times, they become frustrated with their inability to express their emotions in a conventional way. They want to connect but feel as though it will strip away their freedom and individuality.
🌙 Pisces Moons are often so out of tune with reality, they develop a victim complex. Their emotions are so vibrant and deep, they resort to specific habits that help them escape from their vulnerable heart. Often, they don’t even realize they are doing this and when met with reality checks, will only break down and victimize themselves more. This is why they need to isolate themselves from time to time. They will also need to develop healthy coping mechanisms to overcome their self-pity and put their feelings into something of value.
Some Crystal Misconceptions
Diamonds Aren’t Rare
actually true, they aren’t
BUT
gem-quality diamonds are rare. There are three main factors that contribute to rarity
SIZE - big diamonds are way more rare than little tiny ones
COLOR - colorless diamonds are more rare than brown diamonds, and fancy-colored diamonds are more rare than colorless diamonds
CLARITY - diamonds that aren’t full of crap are more rare than diamonds with lots of crap
I could go on for a long time about this so send me an ask if you want a full post
Fake Citrine/Burnt Amethyst
no
yellow/orange quartz = citrine, whether it’s natural or treated
it isn’t fake
citrine is often heated amethyst whether it comes from nature or a lab anyway
there are some citrines that were never amethyst, but many were
Copal Is Fake Amber
copal is young amber
amber is OLD, guys
1,000,000+ years old
they will both float in saturated saltwater.
amber is more resistant to chemicals because it’s gone through polymerization over time
don’t drop your amber/copal in solvents because chances are it’s copal
Don’t Clean Crystals With Soap
soap is good
most common crystals can be cleaned with soap
use gentle soap though, none of that orange gritty stuff that everyone’s dad had at one point
rinse off the soap when you’re done
check if your crystal is water soluble before cleaning though
and be careful with unusual and delicate specimens
Heating And Irradiation Are Bad
heating and irradiation enhance the color of your crystals
almost every sapphire and ruby in the lower to mid-range market has been heated
most other stones too
it doesn’t hurt the stone. I promise
it just makes them prettier
the earth does it to her crystals too
Treated Stones Are Fake
nope
treated stones are usually still whatever they were before they were treated
unless it’s a variety call based on color or something but y’know
heated topaz = topaz
aura quartzes are extra pretty because of their treatment
it’s cool if you don’t want to use treated stones but many people like them
treated stones are beautiful and not fake
but make sure the treatment is DISCLOSED unless it’s routine (and therefore assumed)
Blood Diamonds
it was a problem
but not much anymore!!!!
there’s a fun international thing called the Kimberley Process (2003)
diamonds can’t be exported from their origin country without a clear paper trail back to the mine
diamonds are probably the most ethical gemstone purchase you can make today actually
(a more in-depth discussion here)
there’s no equivalent process for colored stones
blood emeralds, anyone??
Garnet Is Corundum
Corundum has THREE MAIN VARIETIES
just THREE
ruby (red), padparadscha (orange-pink), and sapphire (every other color)
these have subvarieties (star ruby, yellow sapphire, etc etc etc)
emerald and garnet are not corundum
(garnet is a mineral group!!!! it’s not even a species, much less a variety)
not everything is corundum
I’ll add on to this in the future! Let me know if you have questions, I’m happy to expand on anything in this post or any other crystal info that you aren’t sure about :)

Palmistry 101
When reading palms, whether your own or someone else’s, these are the main things to consider:
Which hand is dominant? For right-handed people, the left hand gives information about inherited characteristics and potential, while the right hand reveals the development, character, and life events. The opposite is true for left-handed folks!
Quality of lines and their points of intersection. How strong or fine are the lines? Are they straight and long, broken and twisted, etc.?
The directions of lines, which mounts they occur on or near, and their influences.
Shape of the hand, fingers, nails, and mounts.
General demeanor of the person and the hand.
MAJOR LINES
Each line has its own meaning and depicts a certain course of action in a person’s life. Lines come in all shapes and sizes. Not everyone has all six of these lines, although the first three are always present (the fate line is usually present as well).
Heart line: emotions, insecurities, marriages, dependence and independence, the nature of your relationships.
Head line: intellect, reasoning powers, prospective career paths, potentials for success.
Life line: pattern and quality of life, physical vitality, stability or imbalance, will power and logic, not necessarily the indicator for length of your life.
Fate/Saturn line: strengths of character, career, friendships, life’s daily problems, and general ability to succeed.
Mercury/Health line: health matters, business and adventure, the spirit of discovery.
Apollo/Sun line: utilization of creative energies and potentials for success through development of talents.
MOUNTS
The mounts are fleshy cushions underneath each of the fingers. These mounts carry the same name as the finger they are under. Below are the different character and personality traits associated with each finger/mount.
Mercury: Pinky. buoyancy, shrewdness, wit, spirit.
Apollo/Sun: Ring finger. compassion, love of beauty, artistic abilities, potential for success.
Saturn/Fate: Middle finger. seriousness, cautiousness, gloom, superstition.
Jupiter: Index finger. leadership, honor, ambition, spirituality/religiousness.
Lower Mars: Below pinky. moral courage, self-control.
Upper Mars: Below thumb. resistance, coolness of spirit, calmness, courage.
Venus: Thumb. benevolence, affection, humility, passion.
Moon: sentimentaliity, imagination, self-centeredness
CONFIGURATIONS
These are just a few of the figurative markings that are commonly seen on the hand. They add meaning to the lines or mounts they are near.
Branches: emphasize strengths.
Breaks in lines: emphasize weaknesses.
Chains: signify obscure goals, inclinations to deviate.
Crosses: signify upheavals, violence, struggles, and blunders.
Islands: indicate delays, injuries, and problems.
Stars: emphasize luckiness.
*** I will be posting more about palmistry soon, including more detailed variations of the lines and mounts! In the meantime, feel free to ask me about your palms… sending me a picture would be AMAZING :~)
