I read the Old Kingdom series by Garth Nix for the first time recently and was delighted by how inspiring the books are from a graphic design standpoint! Lots of symbols and patterns and iconic imagery. I dream of a coffee table book of Old Kingdom visual design. ✨🗝️🔔
Hey, I haven't posted on here in an age and a half, but I wanted to show off the current state of my Witch Things--slimmed-down bookcase, Tarot deck spice rack, and Walltar.
well what is this all about, then? i ask god in a dream. and it will grasp me by the forearms like i am a companion and fellow soldier in the trenches fighting a war for men in suits that do not know me. its head cannot decide if it wishes to be a jackal or my mother or a spear of gladiolus glistening beating-heart red.
it tells me, why does it matter? what i put you on this earth to do? must i have had a reason? must i have some grand cosmic plan to give you meaning?
i did not create you for any reason at all, anything you have done, you have done by yourselves, to yourselves, for yourselves. i did not ever stay your hands nor did i ever guide it. does that make you sad? does that make you less? no!
the god who clutches me into an embrace like a drowning man to a splinter of sodden driftwood whispers into my ear a voice that could be blinding sunlight muted to a dull and warm orange beneath my eyelids. it says to me, i didn't put you on this earth for any reason and you should be proud and be afraid that each of your actions has always been, will always be, your own. every hateful word you said and every time you held your loved one's hand, every time you saved a life and every time you turned your eyes away, all of it is always yourself alone.
and its voice fades as i wake up. and it asks me, isn't that the greatest gift i could ever give you, child? whatever you do it is your own choice. whatever others do unto you is their own choice. and nothing you ever do will change that or matter. isnt that amazing? how beautiful. i wake up.

“Witch” is and will continue to be a gender neutral term.
Keep reblogging this- it’s helping gender nonconforming and male witches feel accepted in the community.
I’m much more interested in hearing about what you would put it a beginner witch kit.
How about we narrow down this question.
What would you give as a starter witch kit to a friend that is interested in your style of witchcraft?
A Tarot deck (Marigold if possible), a long-handled wooden mixing spoon, a pack of assorted sewing and beading needles, and three books: <em>All-Star Superman</em> by Grant Morrison, <em>Sabriel</em> by Garth Nix, and their choice of either <em>Equal Rites</em> or <em>Hogfather</em> by Terry Pratchett. And a ride to their local library to get a library card if they don't already have one.
Which one do y'all prefer? I prefer 1 or 7 the most :)
I love them all. I’d look smashing in 8 or 10.
Is the tag 'autumn recipe roundup' ? And soups/stews, breads, pies and the like. My goal is to bake something each day of Mabon, and then on the last night have a 'feast' prepared for my mom and I and maybe a few friends(because Mabon is 3 days, right?) and I want to make something hearty the day before Samhain that I can eat intermittently throughout the day and night because I really want to do a bunch of rituals
Yup, that’s the tag! I’m still putting the queue together, so I think I’d better just give you some recommendations of cookbooks from my research, since you’ve got a plan in mind.
Celtic Folklore Cooking (Asala)
A Kitchen WItch’s Cookbook (Telesco)
A Witch’s Brew (Telesco)
Kitchen WItch’s Guide to Brews and Potions (Telesco)
The Kitchen Witch (Soraya)
Witch in the Kitchen (Johnson)
The Colonial Williamsburg Tavern Cookbook (Gonzalez)
Favorite Meals from Williamsburg (Turgeon)
Holiday Fare: Favorite Williamsburg Meals (Gonzalez)
The Very Best of Irish Traditional Cooking (Lennon and Campbell)
An Irish Country Cookbook (Taylor)
Celtic Folklore Cooking is the one I’d recommend most for holiday meals. It was my go-to for a number of years. Witch in the Kitchen is fantastic if you’re looking for vegetarian or vegan dishes. The Lennon and Campbell Irish cookbook is fantastic too. The Williamsburg books are on the old-fashioned side, so some substitutions may need to be made.
All of these books are available online. Keep checking back here too, as I’ll start posting my favorites soon.
Happy Cooking!
I got mail from @portlandbuttonworks! Brainscan 33, which is extremely pretty and which I am <em>very</em> excited to read, and a set of Prisoner buttons, because I always need more buttons. (Boy has claimed the megaphone one to put on his Kamen Rider hoodie.) Thank you, @alexwrekk!
