I like emoji spells and I find your lack of whimsy disturbing.

How to protect your online spaces: Witch Edition

-Obviously, blocking and ignoring any who wish you harm will be the most effective.

-Put sigils on any photos you post- artwork, selfies, etc. You can make your own or use ones premade, just charge them with the intent that 1) no one can use them without your permission, 2) unwanted people will never be able to see them properly, 3) no one can use them as taglocks.

-To protect blogs/accounts, you can put an emoji or a word/phrase in your bio to protect you- simply have the intention "My blog/account is protected against all who wish me harm."

-Cleanse your devices! I use a mixture of incense for my PC (air element to match cooling fans, etc), and absorbing negative energy with salt (earth element, for all the metals and such used to make the device).

-Protective spell jars. I have the intent that no one unwanted accesses my accounts, whether to spy, cause trouble, etc.

-DNI's and TOS are also great mundane ways to weed out people you don't want. For example, on my stim/moodboard blog, I have a DNI banner that goes on all my posts- if anyone breaks that boundary, they get added to the blocklist.

Just realized something, if you want to incorporate minecraft for some discreet witchery, you can literally build a sigil and set it on fire and let it burn away to get it charged and activated.

I just thought of this now.

Zip File Magic

You ever hear about knot magic or a witch's ladder? There’s a couple different ways it can play out, so here’s a few example purposes.

binding something (negative energy, feelings, etc) with a series of knots and burning the string to cleanse it from you

binding something's abilities until you undo the knots

storing energy within a knot and then untying it when you need the specific energy contained within

Honestly, go look up some of the examples here on Tumblr if you haven’t heard of it already. But, the general gist is the energy of the spell is contained within a knotted piece of string, to either maintain or store a spell's workings until such time as the knot is undone. This is a great and subtle way to do magic as most people don't think much about a knotted piece of string lying around.

Along those same lines, most people don't think too much about a zipped (compressed) file folder on your computer. When reading about knot magic I thought “hmm, wouldn’t this work well with zip files on a computer?”

A Conceptual Outline

Gather the contents for the zip file. It doesn't have to be one file, mind you. I try to think of a couple different things that can help with my intent. For example, if I am storing energy and motivation, I'll include a file that is the core of my spell, sure... but I'll also add in a motivational gif, a quote that inspires me, a song that makes me happy, an animal picture, whatever I think will make me motivated.

If you are making multiple zip files at once, remember that each needs its own energy. Copy-paste is tempting on the computer but it can dilute the magic.

Decide what sort of ritual you wish to do while compressing the files. For me, most of tech magic is about front-loading intent so that, when you go to enact the magic, it's already charged and loaded with power. You might want to have a small spell to recite or something in mind to visualize. Decide on a specific name for the file archive that is both protective and binding to hold the energy for you, while also being nondescript enough that no one will question it.

Do the thing and compress the files! How you do this and what file type it will save as will depend on your device's OS and software. Remember to follow through on the ritual you planned.

And there you go! If this is a spell that requires "burning" the "knots," then you'll want to release the energy by deleting the zip file. If this is the sort of spell you open at a later date, put the compressed file in a safe place. Put it in a folder somewhere that you'll remember. If you have a good flash drive to store these things in that you won't lose, that's a great option. If you want it for use on a different device, move it now. Be careful with cloud storage.

When the time comes, unzip the file. There are methods to do this on phones as well as desktops, so go for what works for you. As the files extract from the archive, embrace what you stored within. Consume/enact any magical elements you stored. View/enjoy any mundane elements you stored.

If you want to save any element of an unzipped file for your spell work for later reference, put them in a "magically used up files" folder somewhere, like storing incense ash in the physical world. They've done their piece, so let them rest.

odd thing but a few times my fan has refused to word properly

nothing changes, i dont move it or the cord so i doubt its loose wiring

for a minute it will just stop spinning or spin very slowly and it wont start again until i tell it to, but i dont tell it to verbally

i put my hand near the buttons to adjust or turn it off and i dont press anything i just stare at it and think about it working

the first time i did it on accident, i zoned out and got frustrated that it was hot in my room and my fan stopped working

i messed around a few times and only realized now when i actually put thought into this that it worked. im thinking that maybe theres a spirit trying to talk or some magick to it? its kind of like when you want to bend silverware to put some energy and focus into it and then it bends super easy, but instead of bending silverware its getting my fan to work.

am i just stupid or am i onto something? does anyone else find things like this? /genq

I reblogged that lump sum of money thing and an online program refund was accepted today!! So I’m getting $107 back from a program I bought before deciding I’m dropping the course in place of another!!

So here’s an emoji spell to keep that money sealed in as soon as it’s done pending!

📩💵💳🔴✉️🛑

I always grew up believing that red wallets help keep money from leaving so there’s the red here and the envelopes being the representation of just sealing the money in.
