Hi! I’m relatively new to Paganism / Wicca / Witchcraft, etc. And I was wondering if there were any practitioners out there who wouldn’t mind telling me about their craft and how they found a path which works for them?
If you’re interested, message me! I’d love to hear from you! Even if you’re a baby witch like myself.
Hope to meet some of you soon!
Hey everyone! I’m really interested into learning more about pagan witchcraft or better known as Wicca. (I think?)
Does anyone have any good books to read to get more informed?
I’ve tried to look online but there are so many options I don’t even know where to start nor do I want to just believe anything I see online. I just need help because it’s something I’ve always wanted to get into and I’m finally comfortable with who I am to explore it.
Mandi See and Harmony Nice do excellent videos about witchcraft and Wicca on YouTube. Also patheos pagans has a good selection of blogs written by pagans and witches. 😊
Cutewitch772 and Thorn Moony are also excellent channels. As is the pagan perspective collab channel. I would highly recommend them as a resource for people just starting out.
Welcome to the community, feel free to drop me an ask if you'd like to chat. Blessed be and good luck on your journey.
What is Imbolc?
Imbolc is a holiday that takes place on February 1st. I celebrates the beginning of spring and growth. It is a time of renewal, fresh beginnings, and hope towards the future. It is the perfect time to make life decisions, try new things, and attempt to move forward from anything that might be holding you back in your past.
How Can I Celebrate?
Try out a new hobby
Plant something
Cook something
Really anything that involves you creating something
Volunteer at a nature clean-up event
Clean your house physically
Cleanse your house magickally
Start a journal
Apply for jobs
Have that risky conversation that you’ve been wanting to have but dreading
Wear that outfit that makes you nervous that people will think it looks stupid. OWN IT
Re-decorate your altar
If you are planning on having a baby, this will be a good day to… uh.. start trying.
Register for a class
Feel free to add on your own celebrations!

Exploring a Witchy shop! 😁
This week's video is a fun explore of one of my favourite witchy shops in Leighton Buzzard, The Raven and Broomstick shop. Crammed full of fantastic and unique items and curiosities it's such a fun place to explore.
It is Spring in the Northern Hemisphere! Even more good news is that the bee population has actually been climbing back up and they have been doing very well this year so far!
Which means you are more likely to see an increase of honeybee activity! Especially if you live near any open fields, orchards, or even just a lot of flowering plants!
When a new queen is born into a hive and becomes mature, she takes a lot of workers with her to find a new hive! But the queens are somewhat fat and not very strong fliers! So they stop and rest while scouts find a new spot for a hive! This is called swarming and looks something like this!
This is NOT a hive! If you see this behavior in bees, rest assured that they will likely be gone within the next few days once they find a spot for their hive! They don’t want to be there any more than you want them to be!
Sometimes they pick very inconvenient spots to swarm and understandably you want them gone as soon as possible! Luckily there is a humane way if removing them is your only option!
Call your local apiaries (beekeepers) and ask what options they have for humane swarm removal! Many pest control companies also have a humane option to transport a swarm to an apiary!
(About apiaries: Kept bees are actually very healthy and well taken care of and their contribution actually made a great impact in restoring the honeybee population!)
Remember to be good to our hard working little sisters! Don’t panic if you see a swarm, they will be gone before you know it!
And if I catch you hurting a swarm… bees will be the least of your problems!
-Captain Planet
do no harm to the swarm
florence welch literally changed my life she said she keeps a notebook with her wherever she goes and she just writes down whatever interesting words and phrases she finds and she builds and expands on them like??? this is a game changer
This works for writing spells too 😁

Let’s say your matrilineal line is fairly consistent and everyone has their daughter at 25. So four women in your matrilineal line are born every hundred years. In a thousand years, that’s only 40 women. Like the math is so simple and yet ? You don’t think about it. So in 2000 years, 80 women. So basically, 0 AD started roughly about 80 mothers ago. That’s it.
I’m……… i’m a little drunk n cannot deal with this right now
Yep
The advent of agriculture around 9500BC was about 450 mothers ago
you can’t just say shit like that without a warning
Many, many mothers ago, when the world was new….
Many of the notes here are saying “But women used to have kids earlier”
Okay. So, assume every woman had her daughter at 20 instead.
That’s five mothers in a century.
Fifty mothers in a thousand years.
One hundred mothers in two thousand years.
That is five hundred and seventy five mothers since the dawn of agriculture.
Less than six hundred women, between you and the dawn of civilization.
You are never so far from your ancestors as you think.
Okay but “x mothers ago” is the best damn dating system, and I’m gonna use it SOMEWHERE.
I was not PREPARED
Fiber artists are a superstitious lot. For example, one superstition I heard was that spirits and energy, good and bad, find their way into our projects while we’re working, traveling along the yarn from stitch to stitch, and that is why you have to leave at least one mistake in every work you make: so that bad energy isn’t trapped in a maze of perfect stitches, and good energy has a way to flow into it, and I really like that superstition which is why one sleeve of this sweater is three times as long as the other and there are two neck holes purely for the energy you see
Can't afford to buy things for your garden?
*Re-posting, with new information
A store-bought bag of topsoil, a roll of landscaping fabric, or a bag of cedar chips doesn’t go very far if you have a large garden or a very limited budget. Here are some ways to create the materials you need for a beautiful, organic, productive garden, by both re-directing household waste, and foraging in your local area. I use a lot of these tricks in my garden to make it almost completely free for me to continue growing new things, and expanding the workable area every year!
For soil
Save your food scraps to create a rich compost for growing veggies and amending your soil. There are numerous options for every size of dwelling and yard. Small space solutions such as Bokashi and vermicompost work indoors and don’t produce bad smells, so you can keep them underneath the sink.Worm towers, compost heaps, and outdoor compost bins are a great solution if you have more space. The more you add, the more rich, nutritious material you can make for your garden. I like composting because it means I don’t have gross smelly garbage bags to deal with, because food waste is diverted. It seems like a lot of work at first, but it actually saves time, money, and transportation.
Seaweed or kelp is one of the best things for your garden, with over 70 essential nutrients, and acting as a weed barrier and a moisture-retentive mulch. I collect seaweed nearby on the beach with my bike trailer, or, when I go for a walk I bring a little home with me each time. It’s an absolute miracle for your soil.
Worm tower
Fertiliser
There are three things that are essential for plant growth. These are nitrogen for leaves and vegetation (N), phosphorus for roots and shoots (P), and potassium for water movement, flowering, and fruiting (K). Commercial fertilisers will give the relative concentrations of each of these compounds with and “NPK” rating. Plants like tomatoes also need calcium to produce healthy fruit. You can create amendments for your garden and soil at home so that you do not have to purchase fertiliser.
For nitrogen
Grass clippings contain 4% nitrogen, 1% phosphorus, and 2% potassium (NPK = 4-1-2).
Human urine contains 12% nitrogen, and it’s sterile. Dilute before adding directly to plants.
Legumes such as beans, clover, peanuts, and alfalfa fix inorganic nitrogen into the soil with mycorrhizal organisms and nodules on their root systems. Plant these crops every few years in rotation with others to renew the soil organically.
For phosphorus
Human urine is also a great source of phosphorous and trace amounts of potassium.
Ground up bones or shells add a slow-release phosphorous to the soil
Had a baby recently? Bury the placenta in the garden.
For potassium
Hardwood ashes
Composted banana peels
For calcium
Break down all of your eggshells, or seashells you have found, in a plastic bucket, using vinegar. This creates a soluble calcium solution you can add to a watering can.
Soil Acidity/Alkalinity
Many plants are particular about what the soil pH should be.
To make soil more acidic: add oak leaves, pine needles, leaf mulch, urine, coffee grounds or sphagnum.
To make soil more alkaline: add wood ash, shell, or bone.
Mulch
Mulch is decomposing organic matter that adds nutrition to the soil, while simultaneously keeping out weed growth and retaining moisture. It also attracts worms, fungi and other beneficial creatures to your soil. Free sources of mulch include:
Leaves
Garden waste
Grass clippings
Straw (often straw bales are given away after being used for decoration in the fall. You can also plant vegetables directly in straw bales using a technique called straw bale gardening).
Wood chips (if you can borrow a wood chipper after you’ve collected some wood you can have attractive wood mulch for free)
Straw bale garden
Landscaping fabric
When mulch isn’t enough to keep the weeds down, many people opt for landscaping fabric. It can be quite expensive and inorganic-looking. Free solutions that both attract worms and can be replaced in small segments as they break down include:
Newspaper*
Cardboard*
Egg cartons*
Printer paper, looseleaf, etc. in thick layers*
*try to make sure you are using paper that has vegetable-based dyes, so you aren’t leeching toxins into the soil.
Soil density/drainage
If your soil is compacted and you have plants that require low levels of water, or excellent drainage, add sand. I don’t recommend stealing it from the beach, but ask around and you’d be surprised at how easy it is to get for free. Sawdust also improves drainage. Adding organic matter and mulch encourages worms, who also till and aerate compacted soil.
If the area still needs drainage, dig a hole and fill it with bricks or rocks to create a “dry well”
For drainage in pots, add crushed bricks, terra cotta pot fragments, packing peanuts, small stones, marbles, orsand to the bottom under the soil layer. I find these in construction sites, on craigslist, or at flea markets.
Pots and growing containers
If you have space, raised beds are a great no-dig way to establish growing space. If you are pressed for space (like working on a balcony) there are many cheap or free options for container gardens.
Creating raised beds allows you to build up the soil without digging. Free ways to do this include using rocks or lumber (like my DIY “lasagna garden” made with the sheet composting technique), using the “wattle“ method with sticks and posts you have found, using discarded straw bales, old bricks,paving stones, cinder blocks or really anything else you have lying around.
Hugelkutur raised beds, which fix carbon and provide drainage, can be made by stacking sticks and untreated wood, and then piling soil or compost over it. (Thanks milos-garden)
Rubber tire gardens retain heat in the night and allow for great drainage. They can also be painted in fun ways.
Herb spirals (here is mine: 1, 2, 3) can be built with stones, bricks, and other found materials.
I often use old cooking pots, barbecues, teapots, or other found objects as planters.
Making wooden planters is easy, and scrap or salvaged wood is also easy to come by. I’m not a fan of using wooden pallets for DIY projects, but they are also a free source of lumber for things like planters.
If you can track down peat moss, cement, and vermiculite, you can make an easy Hypertufa planter in whatever shape you would like, provided you have a form in which it can dry.
I’ve made hanging gardens out of soda cans.
You can build a self-watering container with a 2L pop bottle.
Start seeds in eggshells
Make biodegradable pots out of newspapers.

Trellises and supports
Many plants need external support, such as stakes of trellises, to thrive.
Rebar can almost always be salvaged cheaply or free and makes a great trellis, arch, or purgola
Build trellises and supports out of the pliable young stems of plants like willow
Rebar trellis/arch
Living willow arch/trellis
Paving
Paving often requires a foundation of sand or another stable and well-drained substrate, and a covering of stones, bricks, or other weatherproof elements. Slowly collect stones over time, or free paving stone fragments to create a mosaic-type walkway. Often people give these things away on craigslist. I made a patio and fireplace out of free salvaged bricks, for example.
Salvaged garden walkway
Greenhouses and cold frames
Here is a gallery of greenhouses made out of salvaged windows and doors
A cold frame is easy to make with salvaged lumber, and plastic sheeting.
Window greenhouse
Palet cold-frame
Seeds and plants
Swap seeds with other gardeners
If you see a plant you like at someone’s house, ask for seeds or cuttings
Save seeds every year and build a library of options. Here is a great guide to seed saving.
Save seeds from foods you like from the grocery store: consider growing peanuts, ginger, garlic, peppers, or a walnut tree: all of these and more can be planted from store-bought produce.
Learn to take cuttings. There is a tonne of info on the web about basic cutting propagation, layering, (like I do with rhododendrons) air layering, and numerous other techniques to take clones of plants you like. This saves going to a nursery and shelling out big bucks for all the variety you want.
For cuttings, willow tea and honey are great rooting hormones/antiseptics/anti-fungal agents, which can save you $40 if you were thinking of buying commercial rooting hormone.
You can root cuttings in a potato! (See my methods for rooting “borrowed” plants here)

I hope this helps you build your garden outside of the usual capitalist channels! It can be a cheap or free hobby if you are willing to think outside the box, and maybe put up with things that don’t look as clean or crisp as a hardware store catalogue. If you have any further ideas, please add them! The more information the better.
Another source for pots: Your local garden center (even some at the big name big box stores) may have many, many, MANY used pots they will sell for pennies or possibly even give away.
Lilith’s special sigilwork and a story of truth
I wish I knew what book this was from. But this is just a photo from my archive and I hope that you all can feel Lilith right now sending out her empowering energy to reach your throat and crown chakras. Shes a special kind of demon because shes not actually a demon at all. That was all purely a horrible lie and twisted terrible story that the church decided was right to put forth to the public like a few hundred years ago to scare people into not worshipping or respecting this amazing and truly remarkable completbly benevolent motherly female energy!
If everybody really actually knew the truth about Lilith then they would probably want to put her forth as the real first feminist and a real wise great role model for women of all ages! Liliths tainted past reminds me of my own tainted past because I’ve been to prison for some things before but that’s not who I am and everybody always gets the story wrong or mixed somehow in their screwball heads. Lilith has helped me through so much of my life issues dealing with past. I even call upon her when I am having PTSD flashbacks if this extremely abusive man who targeted myself and made me do things I never thought possible. HD tortured me for days on enc until I would finally give in to him, damn how I wish I had Liliths admirable strength and willpower to life ne up from the depths of mg beaten body ABC self esteem at the time, because I know she dont take no shit from no man! Haha. But seriously! Now that I am out of that situation and dealing with the aftermath she makes me realise that I di have voice and that I should use it no matter who is trying to control me … Lilith is forever my greatest most favorite role model and goddess from history. Her figure was tainted as mind has been and reputation tarnished but yet shes still talked about. And yet, there are still the select few that view her for who she truly was! She empowers me and gives me hope always. And as she stood up to Adam in the garden if eden and was banished I am loving her admirable strength to stand up for herself and say “no” and she knew that no meant no, that’s what makes her So special. I now will never allow z man to treat me as a toy or use me and beat me and control me ever again and j use Liliths strength to pull myself out if negative thoughts about the past I just think of her instead and also she makes me feel saf because she aas vanished and had to do it on her own her own way which was what she wanted anyways, so I just use that energy and image of her to move past things, thanks for listening guys. I did have a few other points to make but I think I will just save them for another more relevant posting, k the end.
