Yarn and Fabric Magic Day

Hey gang! I forgot it was my day to mod here cause I was figuring out a new knitting technique. So I figured I’d /spin/ the two topics together today (sorry, pun totally intended)

If you have good tips or theories for making magical tools from crafting supplies, or including magic in your yarn or fabric crafting, let us know! (I’m focusing mostly on yarn stuff cause that’s what I know, so I would be Thrilled to hear from beaders, embroiders, quilters, sewing people)

Tag for today is gonna be ‘fabric magic’

Thanks gang, -mod idle

Playing with energy

So now that you’ve got a feel for how energy feedback works for you, let’s do some stuff.

1 clear out distractions and try to sense energy till you’re getting some feed back 2 put your hands (or hand and a something else, or feet, or Whatever works for you) about a fist’s distance from eachother. 3 pool the energy between your hands. Make it brighter-denser-stronger-louder till the space is full 4 play! Can you make it into a donut? Does it stretch out? Can you pull threads from it? Does it float or need something to support it? Can you stick it to a wall? 5 reabsorb the ball of energy, or dismiss it however works for you (I get terrible pins and needles when I try to straight up reabsorb, so I give it to a tree or my house) 6 ground by washing your hands or having something to eat, or hugging a pet or plant 7 tell us how it went!

I usually work with either visualization ( I imagine the energy flow into things or around stuff) or with chanting- chanting up to the point where I have a normal way of speaking and a way of infusing my words with energy and intent. Does anyone else to the latter?

chat with midnightweaver, gang!

Energy Work Workshop Thursday

Hey gang!

I’d love to hear from you about any experiences or interests in energy work!

im so interested in energy work because i think it’s very helpful in witchcraft, like in charging or enchanting things, and non-magic activities like martial arts talk about energy in much the same terms.

it’s cross platform, so to speak

I’ll be posting some exercises to try, some will be duplicates to catch different time zones, but i won’t go overboard.

energy workshop is the tag for today

Got any Magic that can invoke kintypes? I'm feeling particularly trapped tonight

heya!

good question, and i mean both i don’t have a ready answer and it’s a good thing to bring up

um… well, here’s a blog that does some kin magic, maybe asking them would be faster? ah but their ask box is closed. still, their content might help. lots of beautiful sigils there

here’s another, and the spell i found them by is ‘ to bring forth kin memories’ but dunno if that will help

feeling trapped is a bummer, i hope something helps soon :)

Energy workshop excercise

Hey gang!

If you want to try this out and then share how it went, I think that would be awesome! Doesn’t have to be today. I’ll be keeping an eye on the notes for this post and revisiting it next Thursday with you on this blog.

Sensing energy: The goal for this is to learn how your personal energy feels to you. It could be warmth or pickling or vaugly magnetic or it could make your nose itch, or your stomach queasy. There isn’t a correct method of feeling it, and I’m looking forward to hearing how it goes for you.

Step 1: reduce the distractions so you can pay attention to your senses. A bathroom break in a stall or washroom is a discrete way to do that. Step 2: hold your hands palm together in front of you and slowly pull them apart then slowly move them back together. Step 3: repeat as long as you like. Step 4: ground yourself by washing your hands, handling some rocks or soil, or having a snack Step 5: let us know how it went!

Try and see (sense) if there are layers to the energy you feel. Try it with your eyes closed and open Try it after rubbing your hands together till they are warm Try it moving your hands vertically apart, horizontally wide, or diagonally. Try keeping one hand still, and only moving the other Try moving a hand, or both hands, toward your belly, or top of your head, or knees, or feet (actually now I wanna try sensing energy with the soles of my feet)

What’s it like for you?

Let’s begin at the beginning.

And since I’m a huge nerd, that means gathering info

Do you have any resources for energy work that you like?
