Sword, triforce, dungeon boss

Sword: Name a kind of magic you have that gives you an “edge.”

While I haven't done any direct sex/kink magic, I definitely feel magick coursing through me when I'm channeling my sexuality/sensuality. So doing drag, burlesque, being with my play partners, etc. That also really connects to my work with Lord Dionysus, being in the whole performing-arts-gender-fuckery-sex domain!

A local dungeon was doing a class on kink magick for the spooky season, but they're very much a Do Not Go There dungeon/infamous in the community. Which is a shame, because I've been having a super hard time finding actual resources on kink magick.

The Triforce: What wish would you make if you could have any wish granted, and is it a wise wish to make?

I would wish to successfully get my degree and my dream job! I'm applying for a BFA in Costume Design (need to work on my portfolio next week), and it would be the best thing in the world to actually get to do that! (And maybe get nominated for a Tony 👀👀👀) I feel like it's pretty wise as I feel like that's what I want to do in life, but if the universe has other plans for me, I'm not sure what they are :p

Dungeon Boss: What has been your greatest challenge to overcome in your Craft?

This has less to do with my actual workings and more to do with myself, but getting over my emotional baggage and trauma has been a roadblock in a lot of my Craft. I get spiritual blockages due to it, such as the Samhain ritual this year, when I tried to use a spirit board, but was (and still am) going through so much that I couldn't communicate. I want to do some Shadow Work, especially with the Full Moon ritual I'm leading next month!

Thanks for your questions!

Very simple memory spell

Hey! I’ve realised I never post spells made by me. The truth is, I typically don’t make my own spells unless they’re very simple rituals or jars. And I’ve been avoiding doing spellcraft for a long time ---not because I stopped believing, but because I lacked energy to do so. Kind of like a big writer’s block but witchcraft-related instead. Anyways, there’s something I did some weeks ago that is relevant to this blog!

Memory aid calling upon Wisdom.

As obvious, this spell is meant to call upon the Goddess Nayru and her reign over Wisdom and knowledge. Other knowledge-related figures can be used too. 

This spell only requires a blue pen (cyan if possible) or something similar. 

You have to draw Nayru’s mark on your hand whilst thinking of what you want to remember (thus, this only works if you’ve studied said thing and want help retaining it). If you want, you can draw on the other side of your palm another symbol ---for example, I drew the planet Mercury’s symbol because it is the planet of intelligence. 

Crouch, close your eyes, clench your fist and whisper (or think, if you cannot make noise) that you’re asking for help with remembering everything you’ve studied and with retaining the knowledge you gained. Ask for their guidance in order to success in what you need to do. Put all your intent here: think of what you want to retain and what you want success in, feel yourself using your knowledge and remembering everything clearly. It’s not “I can only do this if you help me”, it’s more like “I can do this but I want aid”.

I believe Nayru would not help anyone who’s not put absolutely any work into studying, but would definitely help anyone who’s done what they can (for example, people who have trouble studying or concentrating) or who needs reassuring that their work will be of utility (like someone who feels like they’re going to forget everything when they need it).

When I used it, it made me feel a little bit calmer. I needed it for a scary exam and I succeded, probably because of not feeling sooo nervous. I remembered everything clearly despite being still kind of nervous :)

Hyrule(an Magic) Historia: An Effort for Archival

Greetings. It's my first time posting on this blog, so it's nice to meet you all.

The purpose of this post is to detail my behind-the-scenes effort to archive as many of the lost Hyrulean Paganism/Magic blogs and posts as possible. For those unaware, in the mid-2010s, there was a "renaissance" of The Legend of Zelda Pop Culture Pagan posts and blogs. The pantheon/practice went by many names, such as Mudoran Magic, Hyrulean/Hylian Magic, Hyrulean Paganism, etc. As a result, efforts to find remaining content can be complicated, especially when perusing tags. Different phrases were used for various blogs and posts, sometimes leading to dead ends.

Thankfully, there are some leads. @lostwoodstarryskies made a list of blogs, both old and new, here. This is a good start and helps navigate search engines such as Google more efficiently. Additionally, this post by the now-defunct @/hylianshrinemaiden (more on her later) lists additional blogs.

Now, to Twili (hylianshrinemaiden). While we (the Magic Collective) weren't in the same Pop Culture Pagan circles at the same time, it's clear she was a pillar in the community. It's a shame that she and other active members deleted their blogs, as Tumblr's archival system is half-functional at best. There is some hope of recovering her blog, however. @hyrulian-legends reblogged this post from her, listing various spells and resources from her. While it's not entirely clear if this list is her complete work, it at least gives names to her work. Through this list, I've had some luck on Google, and a surviving reblog of her Minish Cap Glamour was found here. I'm not sure what else is available, as I became un-frontstuck when I was planning on searching further. (Such is the way of systems.)

I plan on delving further into what remains, and I'm very grateful to the remaining community members for their advice on where to look. Many thanks, in particular, to @knightofhylia, @knightofhylia-sageofthetriforce, @wind-sage-serin, and @lostwoodstarryskies. Additionally, those in the Community of Hyrulean Faiths Discord server provide resources.

There remain some posts in the Collective's communal Likes that we plan on sharing upon adding to our Grimoire document, so expect those somewhere down the line. In the meantime, I'll continue my search and bring updates whenever possible.

Sincerely,

Vaati the Wind Mage 🌪️
