So my deck just called me out and refused to comply with me.
I was doing a check up spread on our relationship (with this deck), while I shuffled the deck one card jumped out.
So I put it aside like always.
When it was time for me to choose the cards for the spread there was nothing, no energy. My hands weren't drawn to any cards at all. So I moved on to the next position, I did this about three times. I got the message that my deck didn't want to do the spread, or deal with me.
About twenty minutes ago this guy I was seeing txt'd me, I opened my app and started to write that I wasn't feeling well but deleted it instead. I told him a week or so ago that I just wanted to be friends for now because mental health wasn't in order. I haven't responded to him for a few days.
I put it away, except for the jumper and decided to look at it. It is the six of chalices upright.
Basically my deck refused to comply with my spread request and told me to make up my mind and tell him what I want. I don't want to txt him back yet.
Okay, okay, I get the message. Calm down and yet me work with you.
I feel productivity witchy today. I've collected foxglove and pine needles. Started to dry and make water from them. Not sure what to use the pine needles for but here comes the baneful magic with foxglove! ~ Cejay
Someone randomly IM'd me on here asking about witchcraft. I was helping her out, answering questions and linking posts. She told me that she'd be back on later on. I decided to check out her page and she's a cam girl.
Now is she a cam girl who is working hard for her money?
Since a lot of these spells are taking up my blog randomly I decided to add them all as links for easier viewing. NONE of these are mine, just spells I reblogged and was interested in.

Witch Tips!
"Do your enemies have gardens? Landscaping? Throw weeds onto their property. Just be sure you’re not introducing any new invasive plants to your area. Nature gives us many potent and hilarious weapons, so don’t go biting the hand that gives you ammunition."
"Make your own blessing candles by warming white tea lights and sprinkling in your chosen herbs. Let the wax solidify and use them for your rituals."
"Make herb infused vinegar to give your spells (especially curses, jinxes, and hexes) an extra magickal kick."
"... Metal tea strainer just like the one above. Put just a pinch of herbs inside. Hold the mesh over a candle for several moments. You will be able to see the herbs begin to burn. If you just need a little smoke, they will smoke immediately and go out quickly when removed from the flame..."
"My website includes an article on the various herbs you can use INSTEAD of White Sage for smoke-cleansing. Also, if you’re dead set on using White Sage, you can buy some seeds and grow your own. Have fun!"
"Just came across this cool site that has over 100 different vintage inspired botanical illustrations for use with common & botanical names for your herbal grimoires!"
"Reading correspondence lists is a great way to get a general idea of what types of energies herbs/crystals can have within them, but keep in mind that your spells work on your own intuition and your own energy. Some correspondences will click with you and some won’t. Don’t try to force yourself into someone else’s mold..."
"Reuse your salsa or queso jars to store your herbs. I used a queso jar to store my mugwort lol! And if you don’t like the lid of your jar (like me) you can always paint over it and even paint what herb you store in it on top!"
"... So I was wondering if I could take the herbs out of tea bags to keep? ..." "... Yes! ..."
"... Store herbs in breathable bags and keep them in a cool, dark, and dry place. Herbs inside of jars will only be good for a maximum of a month, depending on the herb. Some will develop mold after only a few days, depending on climate."
"When you’re sprinkling herbs on thresholds/mats/doorways/windowsills or floors please, please be wary and careful of pets and animals! If a herb is poisonous to us when inhaled or ingested it is likely poisonous to cats/dogs/birds/rodents and many other forms of wildlife!"
"Witch Tip: Use an oil diffuser, instead of charcoal, for resins and other herb mixes. Slow melting and gentler on the eyes and nose. This would probably be useful for closet witches too." + A recipe.
"You know those dryer sheets you sometimes find in your clothes as you fold laundry? You can use those to make sachets! Simply add your herbs to the center, and tie up all of the corners! Or, you could sew a little square full of herbs. Either way, it’s a cheap and upcycle-y thing to do!"
I've been living in an apartment in WA for about two weeks. Our patio area leads to a beautiful greenery area. A bunch of bushes and trees, reminds me of a minipark. Well guess what? Fucking fairies stole all of our forks. My roommate just asked me what happened to them all... Ugh, all over again. I know that Foxgloves are associated with fairies, and yes we own one, buuttt this started to happen before we bought the plant. It actually became even worse after put it out on our patio. Anyone want to help a fellow witch out? ~ Cejay
