I WAS ON HIATUS!

Hello guys! I'm back and I've graduated college and I'm working at a design studio lol. I can't believe that I got a lot of followers and whopping 6k and 3k notes on some of my spells and rituals. I would like to say thank you so much! I'll be posting more soon and to be honest, I've had such a huge spiritual block and I hope the entire tumblr witch community would help me remove it. HALLOOO

I think from now on I’m gonna make a dedicated art for every spell I post.

Meditation and Witchery During Traffic in Commute

Okay, for the past few months in Manila, Philippines, traffic has been truly insane and my usual commute time from home to school would take me an hour and 30 minutes when it should only be around 40 minutes.

Things got worse especially I had to commute from my home to my internship and it takes me an hour or two to go there and two hours to three hours to go home. To add, the vehicles are not really comfortable and people are crammed in along with me that’s why it is a common sight for passengers to fill the bus aisle while standing.

I have to be honest that it is very unpleasant but I had to make the most out of the commute by meditating and to remain positive out of it so I’m sharing my witchy tips for people who are usually stuck in traffic while commuting.

🦄 Bring Carnelian and Smoky Quartz with you.

These magnificent gems are perfect since Carnelian is used to harness energy, creativity, and they are known to guard you from accidents while Smoky Quartz help you with anxiety, stress, and panic attacks. Should you ever feel tired or stressed while commuting (especially when going home), just hold any or both of them, keep quiet, and breathe slowly. Feel the gush of air coming in and out of your body and exhaling the exhaustion and stress.

🌸 Listen to calming music that are either ambient or in a language that you don’t know.

YES! I recommend urban jazz and chansons. To be honest, I listen to Edith Piaf very often and I love her voice and accent so much that she calms me. I recommend listening to a language that you don’t understand because meditating while knowing what the lyrics mean could disrupt your train of thought. When you listen to songs that you don’t understand, you feel like you have a companion with you even though you are alone at the moment. When you listen, reflect, “What can I do better tomorrow?”, “How shall I enjoy the weekend?” or direct your thanks to your pantheon for beautiful days ahead or intentions you wish to happen.

🦄 Cast emoji spells to your friends if you’re chatting with them.

Instead of channeling your entire energy into being unpleasant, channel them into casting emoji spells that can help your friends such as good luck, great day, love, and joy.

I hope my tips helped and have better commute days ahead!

✨ Banishing Jar For Easier Spellcasting ✨

Do you hate the tedious work of banishing spells where you have to spit, (EW!) dust away, throw out items far away from your altar? Why not have a banishing jar on or beside your altar for an easier alternative. Or better yet, bring it with you while travelling! This is also perfect if you want to perform a banishing spell outdoor.

Create Your Own:

    🔮You Will Need🔮

✨ Clean jar of your choice (make sure there’s a lid). Also, it’s up to you if you want a permanent one or a smaller one.

✨ Black acrylic paint or spray paint.

✨ White paint for any decor item you want (for labeling your jar)

✨ Old newspaper. 

    🔮Crafting Time! 🔮

✨ Wipe the jar clean. Make sure there are no dust, residue, or anything in and out.

✨ Wrap the exterior of the jar with an old newspaper from the bottom up to the area near the opening to prevent paint from staining the exterior.

✨ Start painting the inside black with your chosen paint (acrylic or spray).

✨ ONLY PAINT THE INSIDE. You would want a beautiful mirror-like finish on the outside so only paint the inside of the jar.

✨ Upon gazing the inside of the jar, it should look like a really dark hole as if it’s about to enter another dimension.

✨ . Let it dry first. Do not put the lid yet.

✨ When the paint is finally dry, you may decorate the exterior with whatever you want. 

✨ VOILA!

✨ You may consecrate it during new moon if you wish.

Spell For Banishing (Using the jar)

🔮You Will Need🔮

✨Banishing Jar

✨Bay leaf

✨Pen (to write on the bay leaf)

✨Dish/Cauldron for burning items

Recommended Moon Phase

Waning to New Moon

To Cast:

1. Get a bay leaf and write what you want to banish.

2. Burn the leaf using the candle flame. If possible, leave a couple of ashes and dust it out to your trashbin or outside the house but DO NOT LET THE FLAME BURN THE ENTIRE LEAF.

3. Place the remaining leaf inside the banishing jar while changing three times your banishing intention:

e.g. “I WANT TO QUIT SLEEPING LATE!” x3

4. Close the jar and don’t forget to throw out the contents every month.

WARNING:

- ONLY OPEN IT/CAST IT AT NIGHT

- IF IT IS NEEDED DURING THE DAY, MAKE SURE THAT SUNLIGHT NEVER TOUCHES THE INSIDE OF THE JAR!

For the past few months, me and my good friend Ton started a tarot reading duo named Oraklus Des. It’s actually a pun we made out of how my mom pronounces “Oracle” and I have to say that we both enjoyed what we did so I created a branding for us and it’s this neon-lights inspired logo and posters.

As for my graduation research....

It went really far and I ended up fixating on “The Dating Discrimination between Homosexuals and Bisexuals”. Yes, the world is evolving and things change every single day and as much I’d love to include every gender and sexuality in the world, I had to fixate on two due to budget constraint and lack of interviewees around where I am at. (We had to work with a single region, sadly) However, the good news is, my project that will give awareness to this issue is an online graphic novel.

I admit it is not perfect and this is my first time writing, drawing, and coding for one so apologies in advance and I won’t be releasing it to the public for now.

So that’s that! I’ve learned a lot since January and I can’t wait to learn something new until the year ends :)

My mom surprised me by adding funds for my tarot card collection and it’s such a coincidence that our local bookstore imported The Wild Unkown deck that's why I got it. So ASAP, I used it for my Valentine’s reading in college.

PROBLEM

Okay, for some reason my isp is having a hard time loading certain websites at home and it’s bugging me out. I can only access my tumblr at school for the meantime. I’m not inactive, I’m more on lurking.
