MALEFICARUM

So I’ve been busy lately with summer finally ending. I bind books for money whenever I can, and my very first book was my original Book of Shadows but the book was flawed in a couple of ways that I simply couldn’t live with any more so I set out to make a new Book of Shadows. This is the current place I’m at. Tooling the leather always takes the longest because you HAVE to take your time.

Now, I’m not a prude (as y'all know), and I’m not really bothered by nudity, but can somebody explain to me why New Age/occult books always have to have naked illustrations for shit that doesn’t need to be naked?

Like, damn, a witch can’t curse somebody in their Metallica sweatpants?

Reblog this if you are willing to answer questions about witchcraft or your witchcraft type

I’m making another masterlist or maybe a series of people who newer, younger and maybe just curious witches can ask questions to. 

[earthlyaquatic-astrology-deacti]

the signs as unexplainable emotions

Aries // Kuebiko - A state of exhaustion inspired by acts of senseless violence.

Taurus // Ellipsism - A sadness that you’ll never be able to know how history will turn out.

Gemini // Jouska - A hypothetical conversation that you compulsively play out in your head.

Cancer // Occhiolism - The awareness of the smallness of your perspective.

Leo // Vemödalen - The frustration of photographic something amazing when thousands of identical photos already exist.

Virgo // Kenopsia - The eerie, forlorn atmosphere of a place that is usually bustling with people but is now abandoned and quiet.

Libra // Mauerbauertraurigkeit - The inexplicable urge to push people away, even close friends who you really like.

Scorpio // Opia - The ambiguous intensity of Looking someone in the eye, which can feel simultaneously invasive and vulnerable

Sagittarius // Lachesism - The desire to be struck by disaster – to survive a plane crash, or to lose everything in a fire.

Capricorn // Altschmerz - Weariness with the same old issues that you’ve always had – the same boring flaws and anxieties that you’ve been gnawing on for years.

Aquarius // Énouement - The bittersweetness of having arrived in the future, seeing how things turn out, but not being able to tell your past self.

Pisces // Onism - The frustration of being stuck in just one body, that inhabits only one place at a time.

confession

I buy electronic versions of books so I can print them out myself.

I bind the books with leather or cloth covers, and double space & single side them so I can add my own footnotes and comments throughout the book.

The next book is Apocalyptic Witchcraft, thanks to gardenofthequeen for reminding me it was one I had to do.

Oh god yes I thought I was the only one!

Kitchen Cursing

[chaosundone]

I’m not much of a kitchen witch (the kitchen likes me, but I don’t really like the kitchen) but yesterday my girlfriend and I were baking, idly making penis’ out of biscuit dough, when I bit the head off and suddenly thought “hey, this would make a pretty fucked up cool curse”. This post just sort of happened.

1. Poppets:

Instead of making poppets out of felt or paper you can make them out of cookie dough, pancake mix, and most baking deserts. Shape the dough like a body, etch the person’s name on it, whatever you normally do to make your poppets. You can even fill them before baking by sticking things in the dough (like a red m&m to represent someone’s heart) or after baking by baking them until they’re firm by still soft and shoving the items right in to their body.

And remember, you can stick yucky things in there, too! Since these cookies (usually) aren’t intended to be eaten you can fill it with beet juice (blood), pickles (poison-part of my personal associations), chili powder, pretty much anything you can get your hands on!

2. Harmful Potions:

Most people have an association chart. If you avoid the New Agey charts (which only have positive associations) it’s very possible to make a edible dish with all the ingredients to ensure disaster in someone’s life. For example, I associate hot red peppers with chaos. I toss those in a lovely soup, at a few other ingredients to pack a punch, and feed it to someone who’s really pissing me off.

(Note: If someone is allergic to something don’t be a piece of shit. Don’t feed them things that might kill them - unless your intention is to kill them, in which case make sure they’ve done something to warrant death and make sure you’re prepared to face the consequences. Not my fault if your ass ends up in jail.)

3. Breakable Relationship Wands:

This involves making hard candy from scratch (which is actually pretty easy) and creating thick wand-shaped candies for each relationship in your life. You may wish to customize them depending on the persons interests, personality, and then add a touch of yourself to each wand to solidify the connection between you and them. Once they’re done wrap them and keep them somewhere cool. If at any point the relationship has been harmful or poisonous take said wand out and break it. Depending on the severity of the damage done in the relationship you can snap it in half, step on it, break it with a hammer, put it through the food disposal, etc.

I’ll probably add to this post when I get more ideas. Until then, happy cursing!

Glamour Shower Disks

So you have seen our lovely bath magic spells but you cannot take a bath. Maybe you don’t have a bath in your current residence, maybe you are physically unable to use bathtubs, maybe you’re just super stretched for time but want to get in some extra magical umph. Recreational Witchcraft is here for you.

Shower disks are traditionally used in the aromatherapy world to relieve congestion and other flu-symptoms while showering via the use of essential oils, but we will be bumping up their magical potential.

Basic recipe:

1 cup baking soda

1 tablespoon corn starch

1/3 cup of water

Muffin tins and muffin liners

Glamour:

essential oil of sweet orange

essential oil of rose

essential oil of jasmine

crushed red rose petals

pinch of glitter

Combine baking soda and corn starch (making sure there are no clumps), then slowly add in the water. Fill lined muffin tins about third of the way, then add in dry herbs and spices. Leave out to dry for at least 24 hours. Carefully take disks out of the liners, add your essential oils, and place your disk somewhere in your shower that will allow them to dissolve slowly while you shower. Bam, you’re done.

This recipe is the shower version of this bath spell.

Spells be like

You need: - this berry that grows on one tree in the middle of Russia - crystals that cost more than your life is worth - some substance that is probably illegal - be sure to throw it into mount doom when you’re done uwu

Setting the World Straight on Graveyard Dirt

If someone tells you that graveyard dirt is a euphemism for ground mullein or patchouli, don’t listen. When it comes to graveyard dirt, those people don’t know their ass from a hole in the ground.

Graveyard dirt is, quite simply, dirt from a graveyard. No mystical herbal mixtures or what have you. It’s dirt. More specifically, it’s dirt from the graveyard at large rather than a certain grave.

Grave dirt is the dirt from a particular grave, used to hire that specific spirit.

Graveyard dust, though the term is often used interchangeably with graveyard dirt, isn’t the same thing. It refers to the fine particles that collect on the headstones and can be brushed off into a small bottle.

Goofer dust, which is also improperly used to refer to graveyard dirt, is something different altogether. However, graveyard dirt is a component of goofer dust.

So let’s review.

Graveyard Dirt: dirt from a graveyard

Grave Dirt: dirt from a specific grave

Graveyard Dust: dust and particulates from headstones

Goofer Dust: a specific mixture which includes graveyard dirt

There. Now you know. That misinformation drives me nuts, so I just had to make a post about it. If you want to know more, my ask is always open.
