A baby witch's diary

junk | 25+ | baby green witch

[verdant-witchery]

Since folks have been looking at my humble little blog, I feel like I should introduce myself ♡♡

I'm Junk and I'm 28 years old, and only recently just started my witchcraft journey in the last few months. I've always wanted something spiritual to resonate with and always had a fascination with the concept of witchcraft, but was too afraid to dive in... But I've finally found my courage, and have adored the process ever since!

I mostly consider myself a green witch and follow secular witchcraft principles, but I do enjoy exploring the possibility of deities and the like as representations of energy. I adore herbs, rocks, and flowers, so expect to find a lot of that here!

(Also a sidenote that this is a sideblog, so I can't follow back with this blog :( But I do see you all and enjoy your content immensely!)

As above, so below ♡

It's nice to meet you all!

🍑 Summer fruits and their associations

As a cottage witch, I just love using food in my spell-casting, either by baking something sweet or biting in the flesh of a ripe fruit right before a ritual...

---

🍑 Strawberries: love, beauty, destiny

🍑 Watermelon: energy, masculinity, ocean, growth

🍑 Peaches: friendship, lightness, assurance, confidence

🍑 Cherries: pleasure, creativity, goddess, warmth

🍑 Raspberries: sensuality, femininity, sexuality

🍑 Blueberries: healing, calm, concentration

🍑 Apricots: happiness, friendship, joy, family

🍑 Plums: wealth, luck, change, movement

🍑 Figs: attraction, connection, luck, invocation

🍑 Blackberries: boldness, courage, emotions

🍑 Grapes: invocation, grace, transmutation

🍑 Passion fruit: fertility, strength, creation

PLEASE STOP MAKING WITCHCRAFT GRAPHICS WITH AI. YOU HAVE TO STOP. STOP IT NOW. BOOOOO AI. IT IS HORRIBLE FOR THE ENVIRONMENT AND GOES AGAINST EVERYTHING THE CRAFT IS ABOUT. STOP FUCKING USING AI.

hot take: i don't believe in spells 'not working.'

so the next time you do a spell, keep these questions in your mind:

- have i made my intentions clear?

- have i put in my energy?

- have i told my ingredients and tools their purpose in this spell?

- have i done the right type of spell for my objective?

- have i taken the physical steps towards my goal?

Me I fear

[witchyiiie]

yk what i hate? when girls get into witchcraft or spirituality with the intention of making a guy like them.

like you're telling me that you've just realised you can bend reality in your favour, and you wanna use that energy to make a man like you?

this is how brainwashed we are into thinking that men are the priority.

Hello my witches, warlocks, sorcerers, enchanters, and mages. It’s been a long time since I’ve been on Tumblr and years since I’ve talked about magic on the internet.

Made a promise to myself to always come back to Tumblr to teach a spell here and there.

I’ve created a sigil last night that goes, “I thrive at work. It is joyful.”

Write it on a piece of paper and keep it in your pocket, put it under your keyboard at work, place it in your wallet, or maybe in the case of your phone.

*** Remember to always have creativity in how you use this or any sigil in your practice.

May this sigil bring you smoother days, better opportunities, positive experiences, abundance and prosperity. May this sigil protect you from negative energies 🧿💖✨

With love always,

The Black Witch 💋

I feel so many things growing – my individuality, my confidence; I feel lines of my character growing stronger. I’m really sprouting, springing up, with mixed feelings of tenderness and bitterness, faith and disillusion, hardness and softness. I have never felt so clearly that my self is – obscurely and stubbornly – self-made.

land spirits do not have to be dramatic.

sometimes reverence for land starts very simply:

learning the names of local plants. noticing where water gathers. thanking a tree before taking from it. picking up trash. leaving a place better than you found it. sitting quietly long enough to feel the mood of the land.

animism is not always spectacle.

sometimes it is relationship, attention, and care.

Shout out to the clover, the dandelion and the daisy. The triumvirate of springtime childish whimsy. WHO is doing it like them

[ohmymoxie]

Khaire, lovelies. Did an altar refresh and I’m just soaking in all this good weather. I hope everyone is indulging in blessings and stoking the witch flame.

Walk soft dear friends ⋆⁺₊⋆ ☾⋆⁺₊⋆

Weird peeve time. Calling lab grown gemstones “fake” is stupid because it’s the same shit just not formed naturally. An artificially grown diamond is the same shit as a natural diamond it is the exact same material bro it’s all fuckign carbon

[tlirsgender]

It’s carbon it’s pretty and it didn’t involve slave labor what’s not to love??? Hi I’m having geology opinions tonight apparently. And I’m right

[tlirsgender]

There is so much bullshit in the diamonds industry to be mad about tbh. It also ties into the bullshit of the wedding industry as a whole but we don’t have the time to unpack all that

[val-ritz]

not even going to lie, the day i learned i could get like 15 lab grown rubies the size of dimes for $20 is the day i spent $20 on rubies, and i have never once said to myself “man, i wish this cost $1,600 and the lives of eight children to produce”

[fuckyeahmineralogy]

We are a pro-lab-grown mineral blog here, not only is it massively cheaper but massively more ethical as well in many cases.

[thegreenpea]

another very cool lab grown gem is Moissanite. It has a 9.25 on the mohs hardness scale where diamond is a 10. Moissanote also has a 2.69 refractive index in comparison to diamond’s 2.419 and here is the difference 

and the best thing about moissanite? It is all lab grown and it costs only a fraction of what diamond costs. So fuck the diamond indsutry and buy lab grown gems which cost significantly less

[rubixpsyche]

Also it’s just cool to think of some mad scientist lookin person doing shit against the law of the universe and making pretty gems for you. Like cmon. This shouldnt be allowed probably. But humans really be like on gOD i want some shiny an just started MAKIN em

[zathechaosgod]

for years people wanted alchemy, well now we have alchemy and we’re making gemstones out of it and suddenly “it doesn’t count” anymore

[ohmymoxie]

Khaire, friends. Hope your soul is well. My love for sigil-making grows ever stronger. Jars for long life, health and protection for all household members are coming along nicely!

Unsolicited Witch Tip™️ - if using hair for taglocks, especially for a kitty friend, a fur comb is your best bet. No plucking hairs from your loved-ones scalps now…

SPELLS I PERFORMED RECENTLY

Aren't they pretty?

[awitchnamedjuniper]

Shake It Off Salt Spell

This is one I really like. I used to keep a small bowl at the ready (refreshed weekly), though I now just make smaller bowls whenever the need strikes.

This is one I crafted for those days when my insecurities are a little too heavy. I am definitely my biggest critic and my own worst enemy some days. So, for when those negative thoughts are loud.

Materials

Small bowl

Salt

Crushed rosemary

Pinch of black pepper

Combine salt, rosemary, and pepper in a bowl.

Dip your fingers in the mixture, then flick it away from you and say, "Not mine to carry."

You may want to rest your fingers in the salt first, taking a moment to let those negative thoughts and feelings be absorbed. As you flick the salt away, visualize your insecurities being flung away.

Follow up with any self-care activity that feels right to you. Personally, I'm fond of having a cup of rose or lavender tea.
