*makes this noise at you*
it’s a ptenopus garrulus, aka Common Barking Gecko, which lives in Africa! The video doesn’t show it well, but they have goofy froglike faces!
by sheer coincidence, there’s a completely different kind of gecko endemic to Australia (underwoodisaurus/nephrurus milii ) which is also called the Common Barking Gecko:
So what im getting from all this informarion is…. two of them…

Carrier Oils in Witchcraft!
So. I make a lot of witchy oils! It's fun and has versatility. There's a lot of room for creativity as well! But something I was curious about was if carrier oils had any properties that could affect the end results, and after a lot of research over several months it turns out there are correspondences for carrier oils!
Obviously these aren't set in stone, everyone has their own correspondences and some people might not have access to every kind of carrier oil out there, but here is a general list for your reference!
Sweet Almond Oil: Ruled by Mercury and the Element of Air. Sweet Almond Oil makes a great carrier oil for blends that deal with prosperity, money and wisdom.
Apricot Kernel Oil: Ruled by Venus and the Element of Water. This makes a great carrier oil for blends that deal with love or emotions.
Avocado Oil: Ruled by Venus and the Element of Water. This makes a great carrier oil for blends that deal with love, lust or beauty.
Castor Oil: Ruled by Mars and the Element of Fire. Castor oil makes a great carrier oil for blends that deal with protection and absorbing negativity.
Fractioned Coconut Oil: Ruled by the Moon and the Element of Water. Fractionated Coconut Oil makes a great carrier oil for blends that deal with purification and protection.
Grapeseed Oil: Ruled by the Moon and the Element of Water. Grapeseed Oil makes a great carrier oil for blends that deal with fertility, money, and strengthening mental abilities.
Hemp Seed Oil: Ruled by the Moon and Saturn and the Element of Water. Hemp Seed Oil makes a great carrier oil for blends that deal with healing, love, psychic ability and meditation.
Jojoba Oil: (note: lasts the longest in terms of shelf life/freshness) Ruled by the Moon and the element of Water. Jojoba Oil makes a great carrier oil for blends that deal with healing and love.
Olive Oil: Ruled by the Sun and the Element of Fire. Olive Oil makes a great carrier oil for blends that deal with healing, peace, fertility and protection. In many traditions Olive Oil is an all purpose oil and can substitute any other carrier oil for blends.
Sunflower Oil: Ruled by the Sun and the Element of Fire. Sunflower Oil makes a great carrier oil for blends that deal with protection, fertility, health and wisdom.
Vegetable Oil: (note: typically the cheapest, but has a much shorter shelf life span than other oils) Could not find a ruling planet or element. Vegetable oil is oil that is extracted from various types of fruits, seeds, grains, and nuts. If you only have vegetable oil on hand you can consider it an all purpose oil like Olive Oil. Around 80% of vegetable oil is made of Soybean, said to promote psychic awareness and spirituality and is great for financial gain and abundance of any kind.

Quarantine Schedule - College Witch Edition
Hi my greenies! I hope everyone is staying safe and healthy. During these stressful and uncertain times, it can be very difficult to stay calm and productive. I hope that I may be able to give some ideas of how to keep in touch with your witchcraft while also being active in mental health and daily necessities. Here are some ways I’m coping with quarantine and I hope these might help some of you.
Morning: 8:30 am - 12:00 pm
8:30 am - I wake up at this time everyday so that my rhythm doesn’t get thrown off during my time inside. Sometimes I wake up before this time and I’ll just chill for an hour. I check my costar and scroll through instagram/twitter (because I’m 20 and this is what I do lol).
9:00 am - 9:45/10:00 am - I get up and roll out my yoga mat for some stretches. I have a mug of warm lemon water and I like to light a candle and take a few breathers, then I take out my oracle deck and do a morning reading. Sometimes, I like to put on soft piano or nature sounds (actually I do this most of the time). After my reading, I complete one or two yoga classes on youtube.
10:00 am - 12:00 pm - I try to get as much schoolwork as I can possibly accomplish during this time. I really stick with this and try to be productive during the morning because I don’t like doing it at night. I recommend picking a few hours during the day to be productive, because if you’re like me…I won’t get any of my schoolwork done if I don’t.
Afternoon: 12:00 pm - 6:00 pm
12:00 - 2:00 pm - Brunch time! I do intermediate fasting, so I eat between the hours of 12:00 pm and 8:00 pm. I have tea 30 minutes before I eat anything and then I’ll eat either an egg sandwich, a salad, a ham sandwich, or some jam toast. I’ll do a little visualization and chant before I eat. This consists of asking for strength and focus during the day. This is also my break time - so I’ll watch some TV too.
2:00 - 4:00 pm - Creative time! This is something really love about my schedule, I try and do something creative and fun like painting, writing, reading, or drawing in my plant book. The other day I created a vision board!
4:00 - 6:00 pm - Open time! It’s good to have time where nothing is scheduled so that if you have things that need to get done that day, you’ll have time for them. I’ll have a snack during this time. This is also where if I didn’t finish my homework, I’d finish it here. I also will create a spell jar/spells/tonics.
Nighttime: 6:00 pm - 11:30 pm
6:00 - 8:30 pm - This is where I cook and eat my food. I’ll either eat while watching a movie/show or hang out with my roommates.
8:30 - 10:00 pm - Designated witch time! If I have something in mind that day, I’ll perform a ritual or doing a bath spell. This consists of a lot of lithomancy readings, because it’s something I’ve been practicing, and finger paintings. I’ll get my paint and place it in front of me before I blindfold myself (or just close my eyes - depends on the day and the message) and use my hands to paint the page.
10:00 - 11:30 pm - This is where I get ready for bed and play on my computer. I try and wind down so that I’m actually asleep by 12.
I hope this might help you create a schedule or routine to follow during these stressful times. Obviously, things happen and I don’t always stick with the schedule, but I try to and that’s all that really matters. I know not everyone has the ability to complete witchcraft in their home and I give my thoughts to you. I’ll be available to talk with if any of you are struggling with coping during these times and I’m going to try and be more active, so that you all have content to look forward to. I’ll be posting a recipe soon! Look forward to it:)
Love you all,
Kenzie

So, you want to be a witch? #6
Click here for all the other posts in this series!
This post is all about how the mundane can broaden your craft, and what topics you might consider researching!
Why bother with the mundane?
The mundane is the base for witchcraft. It includes basic skills, information and abilities. One must have an understanding of these things before influencing them/incorporating them into magic. For example: you need to know your way around the kitchen if you want to be a kitchen witch.
It tends to be less biased. Any resource with information on witchcraft will be influenced to some degree by the person’s experiences, view of the world, and the way they built their craft. It can sometimes appear that there is only “one true way” to be a witch—this is not accurate! There is great value in learning from experienced witches, but there is also great value in learning things for yourself.
Where to research?
Please do not rely on tumblr for accurate information! It’s an excellent place to hear about personal experiences and to get ideas, but it often lacks sources.
How to find credible sources: (here) and (here). (Links are for finding academic sources, so they may be a bit more strict than what you need)
Websites
Published books
Videos (Online lectures, YouTube, TedTalks, etc.)
Free classes/information sessions
Are you a student? Be strategic with which electives you choose!
Also consider: clubs, talking with people who are experienced on the subject, etc.
What to research?
This highly depends on you and where you want to take your craft! These are just a few starting points to get the ideas flowing. I always recommend starting with whatever called you to the craft, and letting it naturally flow from there!
The natural world:
Learn local plants (natives, “weeds”, etc.), and how to ethically forage them.
Get a small calendar and note the dates of phenological changes. This can be helpful if you use the plants in your craft/life.
Where to research plants (apps, websites and field guide suggestions)
Learn local wildlife. Get to know your neighbors! Look at range maps.
Do they stay all year or move with the seasons? Some animals make startling noises. Do you have any of those in your area? (Think: wildcats, owls, foxes)
Learn geology, or at least how to identify some common rock types in your area.
Here’s a post on using rocks you find in your craft.
Learn weather patterns and some ways you might predict them.
Find a moon phase calendar for the year. Learn the moon phases and the science behind them if you aren’t familiar with it!
Same with the sun! What time does it rise and set? Where will it be in the sky this time of year? Learn the science behind it.
Constellations, and which ones you’ll see as the seasons change.
What natural phenomena might occur in your area?
Do you live near the ocean? Find some tide charts. What knowledge gaps do you have?
Live near a different type of water? Where is its source? Can you trace it on a map?
Do you garden? Pay attention to your zone and frost dates. Learn which plants are beneficial for your area and which may be invasive. How can you benefit the beings in your area with your garden?
What is the natural history of your area?
In the home + odds and ends:
The basics of tea: how to make your own blends, what temperature the water should be, etc.
Herbal remedies: how herbs can boost your health, which ones can already be found in your kitchen, and herbal interactions/side effects.
Cleaning and tending your home: learn how to safely make your own cleaning supplies, create routines to keep your home feeling clean and comfortable.
How to fix things and build things, how to use basic tools (hammer, screwdriver, etc.), how to mend clothes and simple sewing.
Crafts: learn how to make your own supplies (candles, wands, etc.)
Kitchen: learn some basic cooking and baking skills.
Crystals: how to identify them, how to ethically source them (and their properties).
The flow of your world; familiarize yourself with the routines of life around you. Orient yourself, begin creating a map in your mind of the area. What routines do the birds have? The people around you? The bus schedule?
What is the human history of your area?
How much do you know about your personal/family history?
LAWS: know what’s legal and what isn’t. Can you harvest here? Is it okay to have those animal bones or feathers? Are you allowed to be in certain areas? It’s on you to be informed.
There are so many more things I could’ve included, but I didn’t want this post to go on forever!
Hopefully this has given you some ideas; you may be surprised by how much newly acquired information can begin to influence your craft. Go forth, and enjoy learning something new :)
“I’m Comfortable In My Skin”

moon phases.
new moon: setting intentions. active energy.
waxing crescent moon: resting, focusing. passive energy.
first quarter moon: taking action. active energy.
waxing gibbous moon: trusting, holding faith. passive energy.
full moon: acknowledging. active energy.
waning gibbous moon/disseminating moon: receiving, expressing gratitude. passive energy.
last quarter moon: returning, giving thanks. active energy.
waning crescent moon/balsamic moon: reflecting, resting, restoring. passive energy.
new moon: the moon is literally new. a rebirth. use this moon for intentions to do with fresh beginnings, starting again, cleansing.
waxing moons: the moon is increasing its size, it is opening; use these moons for intentions about gaining, growing or expanding.
full moon: the moon is at full charge, and can be the most powerful phase in the moon cycle. use this moon for intentions to do with power, clarity, or psychic ability.
waning moons: the moon is decreasing its size, it is closing; use these moons for intentions about ridding yourself of something (or someone), or purging.
application to the craft:
focus is the most important aspect of bringing an intent to manifest itself. focusing your energy can be made simpler by working with a compatible energy in the world as you focus that intent.
if the world around you is releasing an energy complementary to yours, it can be easier for that energy to find its way into reality; as opposed to facing any natural adversity.
cast passive energy intents in passive phases of the moon. (tranquility, creativity)
cast active energy intents in active phases of the moon. (strength, control)
this, in my opinion, is the concept of “the power of thought.” when more than one person thinks a thought, that thought holds more weight. this could explain why people practicing or praying together can often yield stronger, or more immediate results. it is a similar reasoning as incorporating tools and ritual into magick, as well.
your energy is a power in itself. but using the power of the elements, the environments, and the world can serve to add to that power.
things that can help ease anxiety:
- a hot soothing drink like chamomile tea - warm yellow lighting, like a little lamp - sweet scents or candles - reading a paper book - organising things - holding a cushion or pillow - a big bowl of soup - listening to songs that are calming - light exercise or a walk in a quiet street - fresh warm laundry and a tidy room - remembering things you’re thankful for - soft and comfortable clothes
BEST WITCHY BOOKS FOR THE BEGINNER WITCH
