THEY FOUND THE WHITE WITCH CATERPILLAR! THIS IS NOT A DRILL!
For context: the white witch is one of the contenders for the largest moth in the world (biggest *wingspan*--loses to the atlas in terms of wing surface area, and loses to the regal for weight). It has a huge range, and the adult is fairly common.
But no one had ever seen a caterpillar. At all. There were only guesses as to what it might look like and what it ate. until this year. These are some of the first images ever taken of it!!
Little-known glamour witch tricks to weave magic into your daily beauty rituals.
These spells are subtle, powerful, and hidden in plain sight — perfect for charging your aura with charm, confidence, and magnetism wherever you go.
• Charm your reflection: Before you leave the house, trace a sigil for confidence or beauty onto your mirror with rosewater or moon water. Let your reflection “absorb” the spell.
• Enchant your makeup brushes: Lightly brush them over a charged crystal (like rose quartz or selenite) before applying your makeup to infuse your look with a specific energy.
• Lip gloss spells: As you apply your lip gloss or lipstick, speak your intentions softly (“My words weave beauty and charm,” “I radiate irresistible energy”).
• Perfume potions: Mix a few drops of essential oil (like ylang ylang or jasmine) with your perfume to enchant your aura with attraction, joy, or mystery.
• Color magic in your outfits: Even tiny things, like your socks or hair clips, can carry color magic. Choose secret colors based on your spellwork that day (pink for love, blue for calm, gold for success).
• Earrings as talismans: Charge your earrings under the full moon or over incense smoke. Every time you wear them, imagine them guarding your energy and amplifying your glamour.
• Aura mist: Make a body spray with rose water, a little vanilla, and clear quartz chips. Mist it over yourself before going out to leave an invisible trail of enchantment.
• Mantra while doing hair: As you style your hair, repeat: “Every strand glows with charm and power.” Imagine each lock catching the light and magnifying your magnetism.
Social media is full of witches, tarot readers, and magical advice. That can be amazing for building community, but it can also be dangerous if you are not careful.
🚩 Red Flags to Watch Out For
Fear tactics: Posts that make you feel cursed, doomed, or like you need to buy their service to “fix” your energy.
Gatekeeping: Anyone saying you are “not a real witch” unless you practice their exact way.
Pay-to-play spirituality: If someone’s entire pitch is that you can only be powerful if you buy their course, candle, or spell.
Over-promising: “This spell will make someone love you instantly” or “This ritual guarantees wealth.” Witchcraft does not work like that.
⚠️ Subtle Ableism in Witchy Spaces
Some posts look harmless but carry ableist ideas:
Saying you “can’t be a witch if you take medication” or that being neurodivergent makes you “less spiritual.”
Calling people “low vibration” if they are depressed, anxious, or struggling with trauma.
Shaming witches who cannot afford elaborate tools or rare herbs.
Real witchcraft is accessible. You do not need perfect health, constant positivity, or a big budget to practice.
🕳️ Hidden Dog Whistles
Be wary of creators who:
Talk about “purity of bloodlines” or “chosen people.” That is coded language that often ties back to racist or nationalist beliefs.
Push conspiracy theories under the disguise of “esoteric wisdom.”
Use terms like “starseed” or “indigo child” in ways that exclude others or feed into superiority complexes.
🕸️ How Online Witchcraft Spaces Can Slide Into Cult Territory
Witchy communities can turn harmful when:
One leader demands absolute loyalty and punishes questioning.
Information is tightly controlled or only given if you pay more.
Members are isolated from outside opinions or told everyone else is “asleep” or “less evolved.”
The group encourages secrecy, shame, or dependency on the leader.
When witchcraft stops empowering you and starts controlling you, it is no longer community. It is manipulation.
Yearly Reminder that C.S Lewis encouraged his fans to write fanfiction about Susan Pevensie becoming a friend to Narnia and reuniting with her family once again.
Literally inviting his fans to write Susan’s adult, angsty character development with a happy ending.
