Have the day you deserve, Anna.

Edit: AND ADDITIONALLY.

A while ago a separate person also claimed you were Syristones and that you were a “bad friend” to them but they deleted their account

I know who that was and I chose not to address then. They were mad at me because I blocked them on Tumblr and discord.

At the time, we hadn't spoken in a couple of weeks.

I blocked them because I was dealing with a lot and my mother had recently been diagnosed with very serious cancer (which she is still battling) and that person's posts at the time were really hard and unsettling for me to read as they often portrayed someone grieving the loss of their own mom to cancer in a way that was difficult for me to see.

I did not confront them because I had no desire to control what they put on their blog but I also didn't think that it was necessarily the safest time for me to confront them directly and thought they would not take it well which they didn't as they doxed me in retaliation to being blocked -- and adding in an edit: which they didn't see for over a week, and it's not like they had been following me either when I had blocked them???.

I blocked them just to protect my peace, but I have not been in contact with them since-- also, I haven't known peace since either. :/

I was doxxed. I was accused of cursing someone (that I did not curse). I was called all sorts of things.

It was disappointing, but I guess unsurprising. And hearing about through anons and from people sending me the post really affirmed my fear of that person not handling me wanting to cease contact well at all.

If this whole situation is in regards to that person, I guess y'all see what I mean too.

House Boneshaker Tea

So some of you may recall that Herbalrog was designing teas for different people a while back, and she designed me this one, called House Boneshaker.

The ingredients: honeybush tea, black tea, cocoa nibs, natural chocolate flavor, natural creme flavor, natural hazelnut flavor, cinnamon

Scent: When I first opened the package I was really very worried, as combined all of the scents gave off a pungent aroma of black licorice--and I hate black licorice. But teas often steep much differently than they smell before, so I gave it a chance. I'm glad I did; it's... almost woody. Hints of chocolate. Feels very light-brown, almost... creamy. (Obviously it's not actually creamy, but it has the same sort of "texture" to the smell.) It's still very strong--stronger by far than it tastes (which is no issue), but not like black licorice.

Appearance: It looks the same color as autumn honey. Also, the tea itself has tiny unidentified blue flowers in an otherwise generally black mixture. I know that doesn't really matter. I don't care. It looks awesome.

Taste: Oh my goodness. It has so many layers of taste, almost...? If that's how you'd describe that? Like wood and chocolate and spice and cream and almost sassafras (though I could be wrong as it's been sitting next to my sassafras tea since I got it). Very sweet. Very warm. Reminds me a lot of suede sofas and relaxing under soft fleece blankets with a good book. YEAH, THAT'S ACTUALLY IT. It reminds me of old book pages. Is that weird?! Yeah, probably.

Additives: I added nothing.

Overall: A really really lovely tea that I don't regret using my ten dollars on. Complementary, rounded tastes; large but (generally) not unpleasant smell. Probably would just feel wrong if prepared on ice. Has no honey in it but reminds me of amber honey. Like actually.

(If you wanna support Balrog and this sounds good you can buy it here. <3)

Question: WHY IS BREE SO AWESOME???? -hugs- But no, really. When can I come to one of your LARP events with you? -kekeke-

Awesomeness is completely relative. On my own, I’m pretty awesome. Put me in the company of some of the more-experienced tumblr witches, and I turn into a dribbling moron.

As for the LARP events, get your butt to Pennsylvania and we’ll be happy to have you! The next event is the last weekend in April!

Yeah that is what I said but the actual beliefs are a lot older, are they?

That I am not sure. They may draw off of some older practices but, from my understanding, it’s more of a hodge-podge of different things than one specific group. To my knowledge, there was no lord and lady before Wicca was founded and some of their practices are ‘new.’

Then again, I’m not wiccan so I’m not the best person to ask. I don’t follow any informative wiccan blogs so I’m not sure who to reference you to. Herbalrog really knows her stuff but she isn’t wiccan so I’m not sure she would be willing to answer *thinks*

I’m gonna make this public in case anyone has any more information to offer.

herbalrog replied to your post: Herby, precious, I see you lurking over there,...

YES PLEASE. OR CANDLES. THOSE WORK TOO.

Sadly, I cannot find my camera, or I would share pictures of the just-made candles. The Witching Hour wax blend is currently melting, and I just put in an order for the Faery Ring scents. Mwahaha.

[breelandwalker]

Herby, precious, I see you lurking over there, salivating.

Would you like a bucket?

@Herbalrog

We live in the country and get very little traffic down our street. Are you making ink from the henbit? I've seen that "flower ink" tutorial floating around before, but I've never attempted it.
