What is the biological difference between a clown, mime, jester and fool? (Feel free to add other creature in the honkaladada genome)

Mimes are the elderly adult form of clowns, aka clowns after the pacman nose parasite (responsible for their temperament & pigmentation) falls off after ejecting eggs. Jesters are an extinct (once valued but ultimately evolutionarily uncompetitive) breed of clowns. Fools were a hybrid of bards and true clowns. Modern fools, though named after classic fools, are not true members of the Fool family, merely former hominids mutated by internet exposure.

Are sour jars hoodoo?

Ya girl’s a little confused. I have recipes in my grimoire for them, but I know Hoodoo is a closed practice, and don’t want to appropriate anything or call on entities that aren’t mine to call on. Are sour jars cultural appropriation?

Empath Protection Spell Jar

What you’ll need:

Himalayan Pink Salt

White Rice

Whole Black Pepper

Black salt

Dried Safe Leaves

Dried Lavender

Three Dried Rose Petals (one for each crystal

Citrine

Jade

Amethyst

Any Size Jar

In your jar fill the bottom with the pink salt, this will add a layer of purification. Then add a layer of the rice. The rice will absorb negative energies so that you won’t absorb too much. Cover the top of the rice layer with the black pepper. This will banish the negative energies and add more protection. Add some black salt in with the black pepper to enhance the purification. Now add some sage and lavender, the sage adds more purification while the lavender calms the energies. Place the rose petals on top and place each crystal on a rose petal. The jade is for protection, amethyst for cleansing, and citrine for confidence

Water in magic.

What kind of water should be used for the magick you are doing? 

Sea water - great for cleansing and healing rituals. Good for crystal cleansing (make sure your crystal won’t get damaged). Also great for banishing and protection spells.

Swamp water - Can be used for banishing and warding, really good for cursing and hexing (any foul magic).

Storm water - Spells and rituals for emotional strength, confidence, charge, motivation and force. Its known for strengthening spells. Great for curses as well.

River water - spells and rituals to do with moving on, focusing energy, breaking through rough paths and warding. Great for powering tools.

Rain water - Multi-purpose but great for growth and rebirth spells. Great for spells if you want to keep gaining power over time.

Snow water - great for magic focused on purity, endings and change; as well as slow working spells.

Dew water - For love and fertility spells, as well as delicate magic. Great for fae work.

✨Witchy Uses For Tea✨

A good way to unwind and replenish your energy after a spell or ritual is to relax with some tea.

🌱TEA TYPES🌿

Green tea- fire, passion, healing, love, sexuality

Oolong tea- reflection, wisdom, concentration

Black tea- earth, water, strength, stability, energy, cleansing

White tea- happiness, wisdom, purification (compliments moon energy very well)

Rose tea: love, compassion, psychic abilities, good luck, protection

Herbal tea- very versatile; best uses depend on herbs used. Examples are peppermint, spearmint, rooibos, etc.

✨ WITCHY USES 💫

If you are performing a ritual or spell that involves sending positive energies out into the universe, steep the tea nearby while it is taking place. Drink the tea when you are done- this will allow you to replenish your energies, leaving you less drained

Brew loose tea and read the tea leaves!

Drizzle honey into the tea in sigil patterns. Stirring the tea charges it (clockwise if you are attracting something, counterclockwise if you are banishing something) and drinking it activates it!

Brew your tea with distilled drinking water that has been charged with the sun/moon to give your magic a boost!

Make your own tea blends to compliment and refine your intent

Store tea leaves/tea bags near crystal grids to charge them before brewing- the longer you charge and the stronger you brew it, the stronger the magic will be

You can add things like lemon, ginger, cinnamon, cayenne, and give your magick some oomph

You can spread tea leaves (moist, dry, used, unused, etc) as offerings, mix them into or add them on top of the soil to help plants grow (bonus if they’ve been used in healing or growth spells!), add them to melted wax for a personalized candle, etc; the possibilities are basically endless

Dear Witches

I want fellow witches to dance under the moon with me in the middle of the woods. Applications open. Dark entities need not apply. Clothing optional. Black cats are a must.

Bird Symbolism

So I was looking out my window and saw two birds and the idea of making a list of symbolism associated with types of birds came to mind. My mom always taught me if you see an animal -especially if they are doing something out of the ordinary- you should take it as an omen. So here’s a list of some basic birds, some of the associations are personal but I hope you like it!

Blue Jay-the truth will be revealed, high energy, playfulness, clarity and communication.

Cardinal-hope, joy, good health, some associate them with angels or deceased love ones, passion and warmth.

Crow-often associated with magic and witches, transformation, power, intelligence and mystery. 

Duck-friendships, new friends, happiness, good fortune and protect against negative energies “water off a ducks back” :)

Dove-peace, harmony, joy, love, might be telling you to break away from a toxic situation, think positive, often associated with Aphrodite or Jesus or Angels

Eagle-power, leadership, freedom, adventure, breaking free.

Hawk- common as spirit guides, courage, protection, and awareness. 

Hummingbird- I adore hummingbirds and often associate them with faeries. Creativity, joy, love and beauty. Can be a sign that you are moving too fast in life and need to take a break.

Magpie-Magpies represent duality because seeing them can be really good or really bad, I know it’s confusing :/ Seeing a magpie can be a good luck omen and new oppurtunities will appear. They also represent illusion and trickery, maybe someone is being a two-faced friend to you. 

Owl- wisdom, associated with the goddess Athena, intuition, spiritual exploration, change, observation and intelligence.

Raven- associated with the nordic god Odin, mystery, magic, fae magic, knowledge, mischieve, and can be seen as a death omen (but can also mean change) 

Robin- luck, prosperity, good things will happen, joy and your hard work will soon be rewarded. 

Sparrow- associated with Aphrodite, new love and relationships, fertility, team work, time of productivity and stop procrastinating.

Stork-long life, prosperity, fertility, new life, wisdom, take time to relax, motherhood and luck.

Swan- also associated with Aphrodite and Apollo, gracefulness, beauty, music, poetry, creativity, loyalty, and long lasting relationships.

Vulture-death, cleaning up other people’s messes, renewal, patient, use your resources and be perceptive.

Woodpecker- hard work, take advantage of new oppurtunities, attention, progress and determination.

Tip! If you are repeatedly seeing a certain animal or have a strong liking to an animal it could be a way a spirit guide is trying to get your attention (or that animal is just really common in your area lol )

how to deal with a witchy burnout

most of us have been there. we lose our touch with the craft and don’t feel like doing much. we feel too tired and exhausted to put effort in it and sometimes we feels like there’s no point.

here are some tips on how to get out of this sticky situation! 🌙

drink tea ✨

yes, you heard me! drinking teas with specific herbs (like chamomile for sleep, lavender for anxiety, etc.) will help you get in tune with herbal magick. you can also stir your tea clockwise to bring forward something (like good energy or calmness) or add a sigil on the bottom with some honey (doesn’t have to be perfect). 🍵✨🌸

nature walk ✨

get in tune with those energies outside! i always find a walk on the grass helps pick up my mood (especially barefoot!!). envision the energies from the earth flowing into your body 🌱🌎🍃

witchy movie ✨

sometimes, we just need a little inspo to bring us back to our craft. watching witchy movies can bring back that spark into us! some great movies i recommend are:

the craft

hocus pocus

the love witch

practical magic

charmed (a show)

carrie

the vampire diaries (a show)

tarot ✨

start off with one card if more than that feels like it would tire you. it’s ok! you can do one in the morning by asking a simple question like “what should i focus on today?” 🔮✨💜

food ✨

incorporate some magick into the food you eat! this isn’t hard at all, especially since we all eat food everyday. simply add an intent to an herb or spice and then add it into your food. for example, add cinnamon onto your oatmeal, with your intent being that you will have abundance 🥐🍦🍩

songs ✨

songs are great to get you back into magick! listen to pagan music, celtic songs, or just look up “witchcraft songs,” “wiccan songs,” or “pagan songs” on spotify🌛🤍🌜

gratitude ✨

this one’s real simple! when you wake up, thank the universe that you got to live to see another day. you can even journal it. breathe in the air and think of how grateful you are that you’re able to do that. soak in the sun’s rays and feel the heat. 🌞🌼💛

final words...

it’s ok to take breaks! nothing wrong with that. it’s human. appreciate yourself as a person. remember, you are magickal and divine no matter how many burnouts you have. burnouts happen to nearly everyone and it’s completely normal! 🍄🐥🌈

sendin good vibez 💜
