Witch of the Lost Empire

Sea witch, hyper-empath, devotee of Mazu and Thor, with some psychic powers. I would not call myself an active practicer, but I work closely with the spirits that come to me to help others.

What's that sound???

It must be...

Primal Bog Monday!

Here is a 40-second bog blessing good for a 30% reduction in anxiety for 1d6 hours!

Watch this stinky man rub his nose on my finger for nearly a full minute and feel the tension and troubles melt into the mysterious waters of the Bog! Let it all fall away and rejoice in the relief his blessing brings!

The Bog is misty and wild today, the waters are strange and dark, and the breeze whispers timelessly in the reeds and grasses. It is the perfect place to forget your woes for a time and think about things that renew you.

Be blessed! Be blessed on this fine Monday! The waters ever swirl, the sky is ever overhead, and Dried Pickle Man will watch your burdens while you bask in the eternal calm of the wetlands!

Witch Tip

Carrying lavender in your pockets can allow you to cleanse an area as you walk by. Lavender is cleansing, clearing, and aids in clairvoyance, as well as psychic protection. If you are in a toxic or negative environment, lavender’s ability to dispel negative energy can help bring more positivity into the place, and start the process of cleansing. Its clairvoyance related abilities can help to assess the cause of the negativity.

The more frequently you are in these places, the stronger the effect.

[the-witches-glossary]

I know my blog is becoming witchy cottegecore but no one can argue the aesthetic

- intention infused herbal honey

- pockets full of seed packets

- carrying sugar water around for the bees (or the fae) in little glass jars

- overgrown herb gardens

- offerings that can become compost

- faerie rings

- mushrooms on a witch hat

- ivy covered cottages

- potions made from things from your own garden

- a fat, green eyed cat familiar

- herbs drying at every doorway and threshold

- scarecrow to ward all unwanted predators and pests

- pocket altar with crystals, herb clippings, riverstone carved runes

I could go on and on.

Witch Tips

Witch tips from a witch who has practiced for many years; here are some of my traditional beliefs as well as things I picked up along the way. 💫

🔮 When foraging, do not forget to thank for what you took. Thanks the gods, the fae, the earth, or whomever you worship, but do not just take.

🌙 Wear beautiful clothes when performing a ritual. Before I get into saying anything else I want to say - There is NO PRICE VALUE which makes the ritual clothes beautiful. They do not have to be expensive, or a certain brand, or from a certain place, or anything of the sort. Just make sure that they are well taken care of and that you think they are beautiful.

🔮 People will rarely understand you, and most do not actually even want to. But the trees. The plants. Animals of the earth. Rivers, still and moving water. The stars and the moon. They understand, they will listen, and if you listen, too, you will hear what you need to and be validated and understood. People alive thousands of years before you have been sharing the same heartbreak, pain, suffering, and struggle with the universe. It understands. It has heard before, and will listen again.

🌙 When trying to meditate, you are not actually doing anything wrong by being unable to “clear your mind.” The goal is not actually to have a blank mind, but an open and receptive one. If a thought pops in suddenly, acknowledge it, dismiss it, and move on. It doesn’t mean you’re not focused or doing it wrong.

🔮 Another note about meditation; there is no shame in needing herbs to achieve meditation. There is nothing wrong with you. Some people just need the extra help, and that is okay! It is also a traditional part of many practices to smoke, ingest, or otherwise consume herbs before a ritual/meditation/journey/etc. This pertains to herbs such a kava, sage, wormwood, mugwort, and cannabis. (Do not use unless you ask a doctor, know it’s safe, and so on.)

🌙 Wisdom is the combination of emotion and logic. To make a wise decision, validate the emotion and why it is being felt, look at the logic and the facts, and combine the information for the answer.

🔮 Do not be discouraged that you cannot find witches (or Wiccans, Pagans, Druids, etc) where you live. We are here. We are all over the world. It is just unsafe in some places to practice openly. But if you look for us, you will find us.

🌙 Intent is the most powerful ingredient you have.

🔮 There are hundreds (if not thousands) or ways to create a sigil, and you can make a sigil hundreds of different ways. This also goes for charging and activating sigils.

🌙 You can practice both black and white magick at the same time.

🔮 Bullying other witches is never a good idea. Obviously, bullying anyone is never a good idea and you shouldn’t, but in my years I have seen over and over again it happen when one witch attacks another and then that witch comes down with horrible luck. That is not just because they were cursed by people who support the witch who was being bullied (which is also a huge risk, and causes a lot of issues and conflict) but the universe knows when a witch attacks another witch, and it doesn’t like that. (This does not include calling someone out in an appropriate way for unacceptable behavior and so on. But when you do it about differing opinions….)

🌙 Never stop researching. You will never know everything.

🔮 Deciding that you want to start to practicing witchcraft does NOT mean you have do denounce any previous beliefs. 

[munimuni-muna]

I needed to read this. Not planning to practice witchcraft but am currently in my spiritual journey. I feel that I’m starting to awaken to some psychic abilities (clairaudience and having symbolic dreams, feeling energy suddenly surge from specific parts of my body at random times) but don’t know how to deal with it yet, how to use it and when. So this really helps. Thank you @the-wiccans-glossary for this wonderful post!

[the-witches-glossary]

I’m really blessed to have a part in helping someone. 🥰

Debunked : Moon, Sun & Fae Cursing

☽⦁──────── ⦁⧊⦁ ────────⦁☾

As many of you know, there has been a rumor going around about a circle of Tiktok "witches" claiming that they will be cursing the Moon, Sun and Fae.

Many Pagans and witches are concerned by this, as they do work with deities connected to the Moon and Sun and claim that they are "weak" or "angry".

The fact of the matter is, you cannot curse celestial objects, Gods and Goddeses or spiritual beings like the fae. It is simply not possible as they are of a much higher and therefore more powerful vibration than humans.

Beginners or simply those who are uninformed, think being a witch makes you an amazingly powerful being, when in reality, you are simply tapping into the power of nature and energies around you and using knowledge to bend those to your will.

This does not make you an all powerful, force of destruction that can take on God's, celestial objects or fae. The power you gain as a witch cannot even measure to the power these beings and objects have.

☽⦁──────── ⦁⧊⦁ ────────⦁☾

Conclusion : The Sun, Moon, Gods, Goddeses and Fae are NOT affected by any of this.

They are probably laughing at how stupid these fake Tiktok "witches" are for even considering cursing them. They are not weak or angry about this. They can simply ruin these "witches" lives with the snap of their fingers.

Therefore, you do not have to worry about this. It is false news and these people probably haven't even done anything they have claimed to. Focus on your own practise, know that there are fakers and liars out there and that if they dare mess with the forces of the universe, they will expreince serious backlash and get their asses kicked.

☽⦁──────── ⦁⧊⦁ ────────⦁☾

[unafraidoftheopensea]

I dedicate my energy to the gods and goddesses and witches effected by what is going on with the moon. I pray to the Fae that they may be merciful.

I hope you are well, all of you. I will be dedicating part of my healing practice to those in need, starting with this post.

I advocate for healing for those who work with moon or water. I pray to deities of the moon and those who are angered. I turn my empathy out to you. I feel your pain and I will help you heal.

Like to charge, the log to cast.

Origami Magic: Manifesting your desires

Origami is a simple method that you can use to manifest desires in your spells, and there is many symbolic shapes that you can choose to incorporate into your spell work. Origami paper is inexpensive, and origami is a fun, decorative, and a really simple type of spell with the potential to really move huge amounts of energy should you will it so.  If you are a closeted witch, this is a really good way to do spell work without it getting noticed, as it will appear that you have a simple hobby. The concept of this is that the act of folding can act as a simple binding ritual, cementing the energy into place. The color or design of the paper can represent your intention, and the final shape can manifest the desire into fruition. Numerology could also be incorporated into this to tie further intentions into the spell.

Please keep in mind that cutting origami paper is generally considered taboo, so please do not cut it with scissors. A simple origami spell: - Write a wish, prayer, or desire on the wrong side of the paper. - Fold into a symbolic shape that represents your intended outcome.   Color symbolism: Red: Love, Energy, instinct, desire, passion Orange: Creativity, motivation, emotion, sexuality Yellow: Happiness, joy, mental clarity, strength Green: Growth, love, health, well being Blue: Awareness, truth, knowing, wholeness Purple: Spirituality, inner knowing, the sight Black: Protection/Oppression White: Protection, healing, purity Pattern symbols: Old and Modern symbols Cherry blossom: Rebirth, life Plum blossom: Perseverance, hope Cranes: Longevity, luck Koi: Luck, prosperity Fans: Protection from evil, restorative to the soul Bamboo: Growth, abundance, endurance Pine: Comfort, endurance, breaking ties Flax: Success and growth Birds: Freedom, movement Birds in pairs: Couples, negotiation, harmony Black birds: Evil Stripes: Sexuality, discouragement, imprisonment, attraction Spots: Sickness, ominous signs, fear, joy, bliss, playfulness Paisley: Wealth, abundance, plenty Animal symbols: Butterflies: Souls of those departed, moving forward from something Cranes: Luck, longevity, monogamy, strength Frogs: Safe travel, returning what was lost Turtles: Wisdom, protection, represents the will of Heaven and Earth Cat: Wealth, luck, feminine wisdom, intuition The list is endless! With origami patterns really taking off, there is animals, fruit, flowers, etc all waiting for you to use their intentions in your spells. I’ve written an example spell below:

Simple origami spell for returning lost love: Write the name of the one you love on the wrong side of the paper. Fold into a frog. Write what you want the outcome to be on the wrong side of a second sheet of paper. Fold into a rose. Sew them together with a thread of symbolic color, and hang them above your bed to return your lost lover.

Paranormal A-Spec

Your soul has a powerful memory - when passing old locals, you might remember something you can't quite recall. Some people might make you nostalgic even if they're strangers. Some smells or sounds draw memories of centuries past. It can be hard to tell if they're your own, ancient memories, or because you've made several old friends throughout the ages that leave behind a piece of themselves to protect you until the end. You'll always have friends amongst the incorporeal and inhuman.
