So, I’m making this post because spiders are a BIG part of my practice. And maybe this can help someone overcome their fear of spiders, or practicing “abnormalities” in their craft.
This is truly nature’s world; we just live in it. Spiders have been around for more than 300 million years!
The symbolism of the spider can vary from culture to culture; how I view the spider’s symbolism is as follows.
A spider can represent a multitude of things to me! The main ones being:
Hello!! How's everyone doing? My name is Lucky, I'm 17; and I live in New Jersey, USA!!
I'm looking for a pen pal, because I love to write letters and learn about people! So why not do both?
Some facts about me:
I've been practicing witchcraft for almost 6 years!
My birthday is December 20th!
I'm a lesbian!
And I'd love to be your friend!!
If you're interested, please do not hesitate to message me! I've never had a pen pal, so I don't know a whole lot about this; but I'm willing to learn!! Have a wonderful day and stay safe!!
hA I haven't been feeling well; but here's a post about my experience working with Vual!!
INTRODUCTION
“FALLEN ANGEL and 47th of the 72 SPIRITS OF SOLOMON. Once a member of the angelic order of powers, Vual is a duke in HELL with 37 LEGIONs of DEMONs under his command. He appears first as an enormous dromedary camel, then changes into human form and speaks in imperfect Egyptian. He procures the love of women; knows the past, present, and future; and makes enemies become friends.”-p.g281 The Encyclopedia of Demons and Demonology(Rosemary Ellen Guiley).
Other names:
Uvall
Voval
Rulerships:
Vual rules over many things. But mainly he rules over things that relate to communication; for example, he’s known to rule over: ancient languages, clarity of mind, deep thought, divination, romantic attraction, and restoration of bonds(friendly or otherwise).
There are a few rules regarding working with him:
Be polite.
Just like with any other deity; Vual requires respect. If you are disrespectful(i.e calling him a nickname, or a b!tch, or anything else like that), he will leave and never return to you.
Respect yourself.
Although Vual is extremely patient; he has no problem checking you into your place. If you are disrespectful towards yourself in his presence; he will remind you of who you are, and what you deserve from everyone. Including yourself.
His History:
When the tyrant god, Jehovah, usurped the Throne of the Universe and punished the gods who had opposed him, many were immediately banished to Hell, the land of torment. However, some deities were taken and split in half as punishment. This is what happened with the god Khonsu (god of the moon), whose other half became Vual. After this, Khonsu remained with the Egyptians but Vual left and joined the kingdom of Hell that is ruled by Leviathan (the other two kingdoms are ruled by Lucifer and Satan). Here, Vual was efficient and trustworthy enough to become one of the military commanders as a Duke.
Elements and offerings:
His Elements are *Akasha and Air. Feel free to give him offerings of dry red wine, veal, camel meat, goat meat, eggs (chicken or ostrich), dates, bitter oranges, lanterns, ostrich feathers, fine-quality blank journals (especially with intricate covers), fountain pens, quills, graphite or black urns (with golden rims), pyramid figurines, art nouveau, secretaire desks, antique leather armchairs, mandrake, ivy, weeping willow, mahogany, ebony, morion quartz, dark amethyst, garnet, tigers eye, elongated pebbles (not flat), bronze-gold cloth or silk, old silver coins (the older the better), obsidian mirrors, floating wick lamps, small dark-green jewelry bags (transparent), Egyptian-styled incense (Eye of Horus, etc). If for nothing else; I also found that he accepts intricate drawings of Dromedaries.
*Akasha: “Akasha or Akash means space or sky or æther in traditional Indian cosmology, depending on the religion. The term has also been adopted in Western occultism and spiritualism in the late 19th century. In many modern Indo-Aryan languages and Dravidian languages the corresponding word retains a generic meaning of "sky".”(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akasha)
His Teachings & What he can do:
Vual will assist you in your divinatory practices, he may also help with learning ancient languages, and he might even help you achieve mental clarity while learning about anything! Another specialty of his is reforming relationships* of all kinds!
*Although some may argue that he only reforms/creates loving relationships only, he will advise against creating/reforming a loving relationship(in my experience), if there is 1. No reciprocation of feelings, or 2. The relationship ended in flames. He is a caring deity; and wants nothing but the best for those who work with him.
Personality:
Vual’s personality is like having your moon sign in your twelfth house. On the surface, he may seem cold, analytical, studious, introspective, or even closed off. He has a strong dislike towards loud noises, and unruliness. As he much prefers order and peaceful atmospheres! He often supports the usage of reasoning and logic, but may indulge in speaking of his inspirations and desires. Vual deeply appreciates elaborate art, landmarks of majesty and grandeur, traveling alone, effort put into learning, and the pursuit of knowledge put over physical strength or social graces.
The people Vual tends to value are mystics, magic users, and scholars. He hates humorous jokes being made towards him or being treated in derogatory ways (if you call him a nickname, he will leave and not return). With those whom he appreciates, Vual is steadfast and enjoys assisting them in their paths.
Thanks for reading this far!! And I'm super duper sorry for the inactivity!!! I'll try my best to be more active!
Why should I use a/an (insert tool name) in my Craft..?
Hi my dears!! How're we doing? I hope we're doing super duper well! My name is Lucky, I'm a seventeen year old lesbian; and I like talking about witchcraft!! I've been meaning to start up a Tumblr page in lieu of my TikTok page(the.witch.is_lucky) and I'm now finally doing so!!
With all of that out of the way; please do not take anything said on my page(here or tiktok) as the 100% truly, definitive way of doing anything regarding your practice! I'm merely making suggestions and giving you my reasoning behind my way of thinking. Now, I have a list that I've alphabetized for your convenience(hopefully), of different tools for the solitary practitioner or for those who work in a coven. Let's get to it!
Why should I use a/n....
Altar:
An altar is a sacred space where you keep all of your ritual tools! It is also used as a workspace for spellcasting, & possibly divination(if you’re into that). The most common type of altar is a table; but there are plenty of witches who use shoe boxes, mentos cans, and anything else they can get their hands on! What I’m getting at here is this: an altar is YOUR OWN personal and magical space, meaning there’s no right nor wrong way to set one up! Get creative with it!!
Athemes, Bolines, & Swords:
Now, I know there are always going to be some misinformed witches steering baby witches away from using an Atheme; but I don’t believe that only an “experienced witch” or an “elder witch” can use one of these. A blade represents masculine energy and the element of air. As a cutting tool, these are used to *metaphorically* cut something, and in most(if not all cases) these are NEVER sharpened because you DO NOT actually use them to PHYSICALLY cut something!
An Atheme is a double edged blade that witches use as a way to direct energy, cast a circle, or as an alternative to a wand!
A boline is a blade in the shape of a half moon. People use these to harvest herbs(think of Karkats weapon from Homestuck).
A sword is a large double edged blade; used to cast a larger sacred circle. In a coven, it is usually the higher ups who’re allowed to use it.
Bells, Rattles, & Singing bowls:
Did you know that centuries ago; bells were used to ward off “evil” spirits? And, it was said that they caused vibrations which were believed to be the source of great power. Rattles and singing bowls are also great tools to create a peaceful environment in your workspace!
Bells can also be used to banish or summon spirits.
Book of Shadows(BOS)/Grimoire:
Think of a BOS as a diary; this is a very intimate tool, as it stores your notes, recipes, spells, personal things and stuff. While a Grimoire is mainly used by a coven and is more so a textbook if anything.
Besom/Broom:
These are used to spiritually cleanse and sweep “negative energy” out/away from a space before spellwork. This tool should be used separately to your day to day cleansing tools.
To use a besom or broom, lightly sweep the room in a clockwise direction. When you are done, open the nearest door and sweep the “negative energy” outside, shutting the door behind you so it doesn’t return.
When not in use, it is recommended to hang it in a doorway so the “negative energy” is deterred from returning.
Candles:
Candles can be used for many purposes such as summoning deities or manifestation and represents the fire element in spells and rituals.
As well as being used in Wicca as the symbol of the God and Goddess, candles are used in spell work to absorb your energy and release it as it burns.
That's going to be all for this post; as I have seventeen more tools that I'd like to talk about! I'll be reblogging this list with the additional tools soon!
Got a question? Feel free to message me!! I'll respond as soon as I possibly can!
I wish you all the best, have a wonderful day and stay safe!!
