Have you played GRAVEMIRE ?

By Sylvan Lawrence

Gravemire is a tabletop roleplaying game about death, growth, horror, and survival, based in an original mechanical framework and set in the churning waters of the Louisiana bayou circa 1894. Players slip into the roles of outsiders arriving in the town of Scarstone, a rural outpost that has been warped by a terrible transformation known as the Convulsion. Once, Scarstone was surrounded by similar towns.

The Bayou once had an end. Now, unknowable numbers of horrors seep through the uncharted backwaters, strange magic contorts reality to its whims, and the settlements that called Scarstone their neighbor jut half-ruined from the mire like bones from a wound. Times have changed.

💫 reminder to self 💫

👁 progress is a corkscrew. even if it feels like i'm going in circles, i'm still slowly going up.

👁 i am not for others. i owe nothing to anyone. i do not have to engage in debates online. i do not have to entertain or communicate with people i don't like. 'no' requires no reason. keeping to myself isn't always a bad thing.

👁 things take time. everything does. everything happening right now will end. the good & the bad. prepare for it. don't measure the time left. deal with everything as it comes, & give my all to the situation at hand.

👁 my best is all i can do. i cannot give more than all that i have. don't be ashamed or angry when it's not enough. it's not a shortcoming. if my best isn't good enough, then the situation was never meant to be. i can keep working on me & improving myself so i can meet & conquer the next hurdle.

👁 no one is likeable to everyone. some people are determined not to be kind. some people are determined to say, think & do awful things. some people won't like me, & it won't be for any reason they can name or any reason i can change. that's okay. with how many people there are on this green earth, it's bound to happen. let it go. find the next good person.

💫 spring cleaning tips 💫

the weather in the northern hemisphere is beginning to warm up, the sun is shining brighter, & the wildlife is returning to their boisterous selves. during this time, a lot of us love to clean! below are some tips, from my family's traditions to yours, for incorporating witchcraft into your spring cleaning. enjoy!

👁 sweep the floor with salt. banish negativity & all that jazz with a simple floor sweep. before sweeping through your whole house (from top to bottom, always towards the front door until you can sweep the mess right over the threshold), make a simple dry spell mixture. your favourite salt, along with herbal additives like dried rosemary, dried sage, cloves, dried oregano, or some combination. stir it up with your intent in mind, to cleanse your house and protect it! stirring counter-clockwise (or widdershins) helps to banish. pour it over your floor bit by bit, sweep it up & out the door!

👁 wash those windows well. windows always could use a shine, especially with sunshine coming in! use some homemade four thieves vinegar, used in france & french diaspora areas since the middle ages. combine lavender, rosemary, mint, sage, marjoram, hyssop, and garlic with vinegar, letting marinate for about ten days. after cleaning your windows with standard cleaning product, put a few drops of this vinegar on your windowsill to keep the nasties out!

👁 make your house smell nice. this one is a little different from banishing, this will be summoning! you want those good energies, so attract them! set up a simmer pot on your stove. put some water in a small pot, and add lemon slices (purification, happiness), rosemary (protection, health), and thyme (strength, courage) and let the pot simmer. your house will smell amazing, and you'll feel even better!

there are many more things you can do, but these are just some of the easiest, cheapest & quickest things we do every spring.

good luck. 🖤

💫 jar spells 💫

jar spells are a super easy way to cast. they're a personal favourite of mine, and if you make them in tiny vials, they can be easily hidden in your room, on your person, or somewhere else you need the spell to manifest. here's a quick breakdown for all the tips you'll need to know.

👁 know which ingredients spoil. y'all, do not forget this one. if you want to throw together a jar spell but you're using something that spoils, like milk or a fruit / vegetable, please throw it away and replace it after a while if you're keeping it around you or the house. you don't want to risk inhaling anything you shouldn't. if you're burying this, putting it somewhere to forget about it, or using it in curses / hexes, then you're probably fine.

👁 use a formula. honestly, this is just to make y'all's lives easier. i always do 2 parts liquid to 1 part herbs / spices to 1 part fruits / vegetables (if i'm using them). so for instance; two cups of water / vinegar, a handful of herbs / spices, a handful of fruits / vegetables. for the most part you don't have to have an exact science.

👁 know the meanings of what you're using. vinegar in a spell for love or protection maybe isn't your best bet, baby. it doesn't hurt to check! if you have a personal association with things, try those! for instance, cinnamon is oft used in love spells, but if you can't stand the stuff, it may do to use it elsewhere. maybe use it's heat in a 'leave me alone' charm!

👁 find a place to put them and know when to change them. most stuff you're not going to want to stick in the direct sun since it'll cause it to spoil faster or evaporate faster. protection jars do well by your door, under your bed; wisdom jars do well on a bookshelf; love jars do well in tiny vials on a necklace by your heart. get creative, y'all can imagine the rest. but once they begin to spoil, again, unless that's part of your casting, change them and renew them!

👁 don't stress. these don't have to have a whole complex ceremony with fancy words said over them. lord knows i just throw what i need together with the intent in mind, seal it with candle wax of the appropriate colour (or honestly white wax if i'm out, 'cause a bitch is broke but tea lights are cheap) and put it in it's resting place. these, the way i do them anyway, are meant to be easy alternatives for when you can't do an entire conjure or a whole ceremony.

good luck. 🖤
