Also, I feel like I’m sharing less and less ‘witchy’ content as time goes by. It really is true what people say: once you get deep into it, things become personal. The tricks you discover. The gnosis you make. Certain knowledge is gained through experience, and words alone cannot impart what you have learnt unto others.
I feel like witchblr as a whole would be a lot calmer of a place if people would understand and recognize that their experiences are not universal.
There's a lot of personal experience, cultural context, and so forth that goes into every post on this site, especially in the witchblr part of it.
People (myself included) often forget that these things go into these posts, even the little one-off shitposts (see: my post on amethyst where I mention clear quartz being a substitute).
Availability, meaning, correspondences, UPG, interactions with deities - all these things depend on what the writer has gone through and experienced.
I dunno, folks. It just gives me emotions when I think of how broad the spectrum of human experience can be. I think more people should be aware of it and appreciate it.
every single one of you are awesome and deserving of love, abundance, and joy. you are all protected and supported by the universe. everything you wish for, you are capable of receiving. you are made of the divine and once walked amongst the stars. know you are loved, you are deserving, you are infinite.
100 Prompts for Working with Your Grimoire on a Daily Basis.
Your grimoire is a living document. Recording your spiritual practice in a sacred manner is a great way to stay connected to your spirituality. Plus, by recording things like your new moon intentions, rituals and your moods or dreams during certain astrological events, you are creating a way to observe and bear witness to your spiritual path as it evolves. I recommend making your grimoire a part of your daily spiritual practice so that it becomes an innate part of your witchy path. Sometimes it can be a challenge to find new ways to work with your grimoire though, and then the document becomes stagnant, no longer keeping up with your daily spiritual experience. Once you have recorded the magickal correspondences of your favorite herbs and crystals, astrological signs and a few spells or recipes, you may find yourself stuck as to how to continue working with your grimoire. To help you out with that block, here are 100 prompts to kickstart your creativity and get your witchy observations underway:
1. Record information about plants that are native to your area.
2. Get to know your sun sign. How does it manifest in your real life? What house do you have the sun in and what other planets are also in that house? All of these elements affect your astrological relationship with the sun.
3. Look up your own moon sign, as well as any planets or asteroids in your natal chart that are in the sign of Cancer, (the sign of the moon), and record what you find in your grimoire.
4. Create a page in your grimoire to record the intentions you set at each new moon for the entire year so that you can keep track of your progress.
5. Write out tutorials for particular projects you make often or are interested in making, such as tinctures, infused oils, homemade gin or flower essences.
6. Make natural ink from plants to use when writing in your grimoire. (There is a great tutorial for this in The Modern Witch’s Guide to Lammas online course!)
7. In addition to individual profile pages for each plant, create indexes of particular traits, correspondences or astrological rulers for easy reference.
8. Record recipes for diffuser blends, tinctures, tea blends, spells and other herbal concoctions and leave space at the bottom to note in a few days, weeks or months, how the recipe’s effect turned out.
9. Keep track in your grimoire of where you acquire your favorite versions of each plant. As you practice herbalism regularly, you will discover that you prefer some plants from certain shops over others or from your own garden or not.
10. Rather than simply drawing a picture of the plant on its profile page in its most commonly recognized form, include more detailed drawings as well of the plant as it appears in various seasons and periods of its life cycle.
11. Keep a record of the types of pollinators that visit your garden and research their likes, dislikes and functions.
12. Work with the spring astrological signs of Aries, Taurus and Gemini and record information you find about the energies of these signs in your grimoire.
13. Work with the summer astrological signs of Cancer, Leo and Virgo and record information you find about the energies of these signs in your grimoire.
14. Work with the fall astrological signs of Libra, Scorpio and Sagittarius and record information you find about the energies of these signs in your grimoire.
15. Work with the winter astrological signs of Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces and record information you find about the energies of these signs in your grimoire.
16. Profile crystals and herbs related to Ostara and Beltane, such as tulips and clover, or rose quartz and aquamarine.
17. Profile crystals and herbs related to the Summer Solstice and Lammas, such as wheat, sunflowers and citrine.
18. Profile herbs associated with Samhain, such as Rosemary, Mugwort and Yarrow.
19. Profile crystals associated with Samhain, such as Bloodstone, Obsidian and Black Tourmaline.

High Fae are considered the nobility of the Faerie realm, holding court in picturesque castles where they govern, work magic, and hold elaborate balls year-round. They are, on average, taller than humans, and they are exquisitely beautiful. They are very powerful in Earth-aligned magics, and develop an affinity towards one elemental alignment from birth. Their manner of thinking tends to be similar to that of humans, more straightforward than other Fae, and they seek relationships with humans in which they are on equal terms. They hope their arrangement with humans to be a sociopolitical one, and they are not opposed to things like romance, marriage, and bringing their human companion into the folds of their society.
T’s skin is pale, nearly translucent, and she has light freckling across her nose and shoulders. Her large eyes are a bright electric blue, and her facial features are picturescue, with pouty, bright red lips and a tiny pixie nose. She has platinum blonde, wavy hair. Her wings resemble that of a dragonfly’s, and they are translucent and crystalline with light blue veins crackling through them. Typically she wears fabric wrapped losely around herself in various fashions, like a toga or a sari, if she wears anything at all. She prefers clothing that is blue or green in color, as it matches her personal aesthetic, and almost always goes barefoot. She has quite the docile lifestyle, and when I picture her in her mind’s eye I often see her sitting barefoot at the bank of a river, twirling her hair or weaving reeds. She is young and lighthearted in personality, and carries herself as such - walking with a bounce in her step, always a coy smile on her lips, jutting her hips out this way and that, sassily.
T is young for a High Fae; the equivalent of her age in human years is about her early twenties, and at that age Fae don’t have quite a lot of responsibility. Over two hundred years is certainly enough time to develop skills and knowledge, so she certainly has a lot to share, but overall her personality can be somewhat carefree and aloof. She is a proper lady, however, and speaks with an appropriate level of decorum - you won’t find an ounce of incorrect grammar or a rude statement within her. Additionally, she’s somewhat vain and enjoys talking at great length about herself. You’ll probably find that she’s the perfect person to spend time with if you just need to get your mind off everything else - she will absolutely talk your ear off and immerse you in her world. She will chat about even the most mundane details, especially if you ask about it. She’s not entirely tone-deaf - she will be able to tell if you’re not liking it, and will scale herself back accordingly - but will enjoy herself greatly if she can express herself in this manner.
Overall, T is a lovely young Fae who is very eager to explore the possibilities of human companionship. Why humans specifically? “We live on the edge of their world,” she says, “and we never see each other or touch. There is something inherently romantic about that. I want to break down that barrier and find what is on the other side.”
If you’d like to bring this River High Fae companion home, please send me an email at thedragonslibrary@gmail with any questions or visit her in the shop (link to the shop in my blog description)! Reverse Adoption readings are also available in my shop.
It's now the second full year since T originally started looking for her companion! Please don't hesitate to contact me at [email protected] if her listing intrigues you 💕
