I am really appreciating Sam's care and attention to detail and ethics in her use of charm magic. A lot of times stories kind of gloss over how fucked up that kind of thing is when the "good guys" do it. Now, it's an adventure story, there's going to be combat and shenanigans, I just feel like messing with someone's willpower and brain should be on par with the hack and slash mundane violence that also happens in those stories.

They made it clear that this particular magic wasn't imposing a new alien thought, merely amplifying something already present, as if to make it ok, and I really appreciate how Sam still recognizes the horror and lack of consent in that anyway. She lower's people's inhibitions, like a drug. Sure, maybe deep down (or not so deep down) there might be a desire or an impulse somewhere, the important part is the ability to act or not act on those impulses of your own free will.

Setting aside all of the normal amounts of random thoughts and desires someone might have and NEVER act on for a variety of incredibly good reasons. Have you ever stood next to the edge of a cliff or ledge and had your brain, just for a split second, suggest jumping? With 0 suicidal intent by the way, just a fucked up little "huh that would be wild," and then it's gone. Under the "rules" of Sam's magic, that still counts, it was already inside you after all, she didn't invent it.

And that's just neurotypical levels of brain fuckery. Speaking of suicide, that's also a "desire already within someone" she could amplify if you wanted to get real dark about it. Or imagine if she got ahold of someone with ocd or schizophrenia or kleptomania or something. Those ARE in your brain already. Somebody with ocd might "want" to spend the next 6 hours washing their hands until they crack and bleed, that doesn't mean it's a good thing. And if she has the power to strip away impulse control that is horrifying and I really respect her for knowing that.

Spring Forward - March Spell A Day Challenge

Spring is here! My favorite season. Like always, the idea is just to focus on designing a spell every day, rather than casting. Though if you have the time and energy, go for it! This time around I've introduced some new categories- including grimoire- the idea being to research or add info on the topic to your notes. Just like the prompts, the categories are intentionally open ended and vague. Let your creativity run wild!

A practical, hands-on guide to Mexican-American folk magic. American Brujeria is about the fascinating blend of American and Mexican folk magic currently practiced by those living in the US but whose roots are steeped in Mexican culture. The author, who has named this tradition “American brujeria,” explores this magical system, while also offering practical advice on using it. American brujeria is a living, vital tradition that -- while it shares things in common with other folk magic traditions, such as American Conjure—also features its own unique traditions, as well as familiar ones, such as the veneration of saints, both canonized, such as Guadalupe, and folk saints like Santa Muerte. American Brujeria includes stories from Mexico (folk saints, the story of Guadalupe), the influence of Catholicism, the art of limpias (spiritual cleansings), spell casting, oil crafting, praying the rosary (in English and Spanish), making an altar to Guadalupe, using novena candle magic, crafting protective charms from saints’ medals, and more.

🌱🌱Earth Magic🌱🌱

To Lose Troubles: 🌿

Take a handful of earth and gaze into it.

Pour into it all your problems.

Outline in minute detail all of those problems plaguing you.

Once finished, throw the dirt behind you and walk away, not looking back.

Earth Charms:🍀🌻

Firmly tie up in a small green square of cloth some fresh, rich soil.

Carry this with you if you have troubles with stability, security, and self-control; if you are apt to let your emotions rule your life or if you are constantly angry or nervous.

Earth Scrying:🏵️🏵️

Fill a small flat vessel at least 7 inches in diameter with earth.

Sir relaxed and gaze into the soil.

You will eventually notice the symbols staring uo from the earth.

Earth Protection Bottle: 🌼🌳

For witches who use Japanese charms 🌸 listed on my Depop shop: Hilary Lavender

(This page came within a set of pages from IMP’s Enhancing the Mind Body and Spirit. I am not a part of this culture and don’t practice the magic of this culture, therefore I am selling the pages I am not using. I would like to give others who do want them the opportunity to have them.)

Make a magical morning routine

Mine involves a three card spread for the day (a theme, to avoid, to move towards) and getting dressed while my copper and quartz necklace charges around my focus and productivity spell candle. Citrine, selenite and snowflake obsidian help too all on top of my sigil for the same purpose.

Izzy’s Sensor Necklace - a non-verbal charm to create a sensor that tells you when things aren't right

*inspired by the necklace Izzy wears that alerts her to the presence of someone with demon blood*

Needed: - Red and Silver Candles - The Thing you are charming to be your sensor. I recommend a pendant or necklace you wear daily - Juniper Incense or diffused oil

Steps: - Light your candles and set up your incense/oil.  - Take your item and establish what its natural state is. This is its resting state, which means that nothing is a foot.  - Now take the item and establish what it will do/ look like when something isn't right. With a pendant, this could be it flipped over or twisted on the chain.  - Reset it to its natural state, and wave it over the candle flames, then through the smoke or mist from your Incense/ diffused oil.  - Hold it in your hands and focus on the two states, give it direct orders on which is which, and what and when it is to alert you.  - Wave it again over the candle flames and through the smoke/mist.  - Blow out your candles, and set your Sensor to work.
