July Week 5: Magical Hodgepodge
This week is going to be a bit of a hodgepodge of things! Let's preface this week by stating some common snese safety rules, not only applicable to witchcraft, but to life in general.
When lighting candles or incense, mind the flames. Never leave something lit unattended, and always use fire safe dishes/ holders for incense and candles.
When dealing with bodily fluids of any kind, it is best to sanitize and clean before and after contact, or avoid contact altogether.
Before ingesting ANYTHING, make sure you know what it is! The same goes for making skin contact with things.
Monday - Blood Magic
Research/ New Page - What is blood magic, generally speaking? Define it! How has it been utilized in magical practices? What does blood represent? What are its associations? What are substitutes for it? What kinds of things can it be used for magically speaking? What mythological references are there to blood, in various cultures? What is it scientifically? How do you safely practice it and handle blood?
Tuesday - Healing Magic
Research/ New Page - Define healing magic. What is it? How does it work? Is it as straightforward as you think when you first say it, or is it more nuanced? What is traditional magical healing? Who performed it? How did they perform it? When, where and why did they perform it? What kinds of tools, plants, gems and so on are associated with it?
Research/ New Page - Gem Study - pick a gem off your list, or tarot card, or what have you if you're not studying gems, and study everything about it! Associations, history, myth and legend, mundane uses and purposes, everything!
Wednesday - Auras
Research/ New Page - Define Aura. What is an aura? How are they sensed? How are they seen? What do they look and feel like? What other senses react to auras? What do different colored auras represent to you? How can you practice sensing them? What do they mean? How do we utilize them?
Research/ New Page - Herb study - pick another herb off your list and study everything about it! Associations, myths, legends, mundane and magical uses, how it grows, everything!
Thursday - Familiars
Research/ New Page - Define familiar. What are they? Traditionally, how do you find one? How do you know when it is a familiar? What purpose do they serve? What actions can they take magically? How do you connect to them? How do you train them? Do you have one? What associations does yours have? What are mythological and historical examples of familiars?
Friday - Doing the Thing
Practical - Perform a spell! Find one online, in a book, or write it yourself! Lay it all out in your lab notebook and perform it! Record everything from the items used, to the steps taken, to when, where and how you did it! Record the results when you think it has worked or edit the spell if it needs adjusting!
Like I said, a hodgepodge of a week! But we're over halfway through the year guys! Thank you all for your continued support!

Maybe I'm going overboard but would anyone appreciate if I went to obsessive lengths to document the origins of cats as a species before actually getting to the point of discussing their origins as familiars?

Bloodborne In Wonderland 02 || Eileen the Cheshire Crow?
“…in that direction,” the Crow said, waving her right blade round, “lives Henryk, an old hunter, who has gone quite mad: & in that direction, is Father Gascoigne. Visit either you like: they’re both mad.”
“But I don’t want to go among mad people,” the Hunter said.
“Oh, you can’t help that,” said the Crow.
“We’re all mad here. You must be, or you wouldn’t have come here.”
——————
Ah yes finally making it through the backlog of cleaning up some of these. I couldn’t immediately think of who Eileen should be, although this one wasn’t explicitly Alice in Wonderland themed. Who do you think? Maybe the Executioner.
