Friendly reminder that white Western voluntourism (in addition to being the sentimental racist crap that is) can actually do far more harm than good.

Said the Oracle to the Witch...

Witch: Hey, my fox familiar can talk to other foxes for local gossip.

Oracle: Yeah, but you can’t rely on fox news.

Following the poison path is not for a beginner, it is highly volatile, and dangerous if not don’t safely. I expect anyone willing to learn about this path to do lots of research and use safety measures.

Did somebody say tea? Let’s talk about tea witchcraft for a second!

If you know me at all, you’d know that I really enjoy finding ways to express witchcraft in everyday life. I’m a huge tea-drinker. Mainly, teas that I brew myself. It’s a little misleading, because what I drink isn’t usuall “tea” - no tea leaves to be found. Mostly they’re roots and leaves of different herbs all thrown together with some hot water; here we’ve got mint and licorice root, my favorite.

Now this particular pot wasn’t made for any witchcraft purposes, but just think of all the possibilites!

rosehip brew, for relationship rituals

honeycomb brew, for sweetening dispositions

sage brew, for personal purifications (another method of achieving this, perhaps?)

clover brew, for luck

And don’t even get me STARTED on the other potential magic. What about actually writing a sigil on a piece of organic paper, and then throwing it in the teapot while it’s brewing? (Keep in mind though, that you’d have to use:)

some sort of unbleached, organic paper (rice paper?) AND

edible ink (chocolate sauce? raspberry juice? Mmmm…)

This sort of thing would fall under kitchen withcraft/hearth witchcraft, for those who are interested.

I’m off to drink tea now. I’m getting excited just thinking about it — all those possibilities!

Happy casting!

Recycling Tips For Greener Witchery

Being a Green Witch is not only brewing nice oils or creating incenses; much more important than those things is the belief that Nature is our true and only source, and that it must be respected and cared for as much as possible. Both for rural or urban witches, reducing our waste and recycling are the biggest steps into a greener, more conscious living, and the ones who make a true Green Witch in my opinion. Here are some helpful and very cheap (if not free) tips that we use on our daily life:

The Garden - Save the water of boiling potatoes and eggs and water your plants with it. Not only this reduces your water waste, that water is full of nutrients for your plants. - Any herbal debris from your herbal garden can be saved and used to make “compost tea”: cut all leaves and stems in small pieces with scissors and place them in a piece of fabric (thrifted sheets are perfect). Add a stone or any other heavy object and tie the fabric to make your “tea bag”. Place it on a bucket of water, cover the bucket and leave in a warm place for a few days. Your herbs will love this water! This always works best with fresh herbs. - Don’t throw away that nettles after you’ve weeded them! Not only they have wonderful properties for your health, they also make the best cold infusion to fill your plants with nutrients. - Coffee grounds and powdered eggshell make a wonderful organic fertilizer. - To keep you plants free from most bugs, spray the plants with a garlic infusion; boil the water, put on the garlic cloves (as many as you want, I use a full clove head per gallon of water) and let it sit until it’s back to room temperature. Then, add a glass of apple vinegar and spray your plants with it, specially under the leaves. Most bugs will starve to death as they hate the taste of the infusion. Once you have ended with the bugs, “shower” the plant spraying clean water, to get rid of any residual taste. Note: do this only when you have bugs or you’ll end up with garlic flavoured herbs.

Feathered And Furry Spirits - Your local birds need extra food on the winter, mainly carbohydrates to create fat to survive the cold season. Make bird food for them recycling stale cereals, muesli, cookies, cakes and bread. Mush your leftover mix to very small pieces and add two teaspoons of honey and a powdered eggshell for extra calcium intake. - Place some extra bird houses on the warmest wall of your garden. Birds always avoid air drafts, so keep that in mind. If you have a garden, you can also place sheltering places for animals. Wooden boxes, old buckets, just use your imagination! Leaving a little of your pet’s food outside is no big waste and could help animals who are breeding to avoid starvation. - Don’t forget your local shelters! Most of them accept donations of all kind, from old blankets, leashes, rubber toys… even if you can’t afford to give money, there is always something we can contribute with.

so my mom talked to this unitarian universalist group at pride fest because she’s trying to find a church for me for when i move out but then she found out that it’s an actual religion and not a subset of christianity and she turned totally against it but i like to take those religious quizes from time to time because my beliefs vary quite a bit and UU was always within the top three ever since the beginning but i just took another one and it said that i already agree almost unanimously with everything it teaches so lol let’s research this

natural-magics

Do you ever feel disconnected? From yourself. Your magick? And you dont know where to turn so you pull every book of the shelf and think it will help til you start reading and its not helping? That maybe meditation will unravel the knot?

yes, more often than I’d care to admit. dry spells are normal, though, and they happen to everyone at some point or another. try not stress and try to relax — this usually passes.

here are some suggestions for you.

remember that it’s okay to take breaks. you do not have to be constantly practicing or studying.

get back to the basics — what drew you to your path/practice in the first place? what resonated with you? if it had something to do with, say, nature — spend more time in nature and reconnecting with that energy.

why do you think you feel disconnected? do you have any issues with depression? how’s your health? how’s your diet? are you especially stressed right now?

maybe it’s the season? for example, I never feel like doing much during the summer because the heat saps my energy and motivation.

maybe it’s time to let go of the books (for now) and start trying new things and/or start learning about something new. our path isn’t a straight line, it branches off. learning and trying new things can really help when we feel stuck or disconnected. sometimes we outgrow things. life changes, we change, we grow. it’s okay to move on from some things if they’re not relevant anymore.

dry a different approach — instead of books, maybe start writing about your own experiences. maybe try starting conversations with other practitioners to learn new perspectives and ideas (tumblr’s great for this, but so are forums). also, sharing your ideas and teaching people new things can help rejuvenate your passion and connection.

consider who inspires you (authors, scholars, fellow witches, etc)

try to make things more fun — what are nifty things that you can try? candle magic, knot magic, making witches ladders, cooking magic, braiding magic (ribbon, yarn, even your hair!), crystal grids, making intricate charms filled with your magical intent…

if you feel up to it, try a little magic. this Clarity and Focus Spell might assist you.

if you feel meditation will help, definitely try!

if any one has any other suggestions, please share <3

Okay I've been on a health kick for over two weeks who did this to me.

imnotamisandristbut

Ok I am not a misandrist or anything, but I would never vote for a male running for president. Everyone knows their jobs are fixing cars and sinks, it just wouldn’t be plausible to think they could make the decisions for the country. And if they’re spending all their time trying to be politicians then who is gonna mow the lawns and move heavy things? I’m not belittling them, those jobs are important too but things work because everyone has their place!
