Following witchcraft blogs is an absolute roulette wheel on whether you're following a TERF or not and I can't stand how many times it's happened to me. Reblog this if you're a witchcraft blog and aren't a TERF and I'll give you a follow! On this blog we love and respect trans women!

[onetrackminded]

Transfeminism and witchcraft is a match made in the astral realm ✨🪄

[mywitchcraftdiary]

I'm a firm believer that you cannot claim to be "love and light" and be a TERF; you are committing spiritual warfare against transwomen. Transphobia is spiritual warfare. Transwomen are channels of the Sacred Feminine.

I try to do witchcraft and magic posts. I think my backlog is fairly decent in my tarot and witchcraft tags (I also do free readings and other things, everything is in my pinned post)

My dms are 18+ and open if anyone wants to talk too

[witch--tips]

Hiii I wanted to ask u if you can help me to cast a spell of someone cuz I really need something thats gonna work.

there is this guy I talked to for a year straight and he got a gf after I became a bit distant. I removed him from everything and tried to move on. but I cant stop thinking about him, hes showing up in my dreams and it just breaks my heart to see him w someone else. I really want him to text me back and to try again because I really miss him

so is there something I can do like cast a strong love spell or something because everything I did never worked…

personally id do a cord cutting if i were in your situation because it sounds like hes completely moved on and your issue is with doing the same. there are love spells you can do, but ethics regarding them is commonly debated, so maybe do more research on that. other options are to do a spell for attracting a new love into your life, like not a specific person but someone who is your type etc, which is regarded as a much more ethical version of a love spell, and i do have a post on how to do one of those! id do a cord cutting spell AND something like the spell i linked, personally. up to you, just a reminder that you can do however many spells you want! and you can create spells yourself once you get familiar enough with how theyre done :)

💐 WITCH TIP 💐

You can utilize any flowers you may have gotten for Valentine’s Day in your craft

[witch--tips]

🌙 WITCH TIP ☃️

If you want moon water during the winter but can’t place a bottle outside or by your window, and it’s snowy out, tell a patch of clean snow (or draw a sigil or something in it) to absorb a lot of the moon’s energies that night and hold it tight. Then, the next morning, collect that snow into a cup or jar, let it melt, and then you’ve got moon water!

low-key witchcraft 🌙

for witches who practice in secret, are chronically ill, or anyone else who might need it. ♡

color magic for the clothes you're wearing for the day

meditation and breathing exercises

single card cartomancy readings - you can even use playing cards

craft sigils

use a necklace as a pendulum if you don't have one

stir intention into your drink

add magically charged ingredients to your cooking

bless pre-made meals

bless your drinking water / add sigils to the bottom of your water bottle

craft an easily accessible, easily disguised shoebox or candy tin altar

keep crystals in your pocket or on your person for manifestation

magical planning, introspection, or meditation on low spoons days

practice energy manipulation with the energy readily available around you

gather natural items from the environment and use them as amulets or talismans, depending on what they are (acorns for protection, direction, and to ward against storms, for example)

bath and shower magic for self care if you can - a washcloth or makeup wipe with a simple incantation goes a long way

set a small open container of salt in your room to absorb bad vibes

or get a small salt lamp for the same purpose

open a window to let fresh air inside to cleanse your space

use wax melts, incense, or candles for positive vibes - you can carve sigils into the wax

choose scents that align with your intent for things like sprays, perfumes, soaps, candles, etc.

collect magical water for later use (rain, storm, moon, sun, etc.)

use beads and string or thread to craft charms for protection

craft a dream pillow with calming herbs such as lavender or chamomile for restful sleep

keep a tarot card or crystal under your pillow to manifest intentions as you sleep

cast a protection spell when you go to tie your shoes or buckle the seatbelt in your car

[sabertoothwalrus]

yknow how the greener parts of apple skin are tan lines from where leaves and branches obscure the sun? I’m surprised I’ve never seen anyone utilize that for printmaking

[sabertoothwalrus]

finally got an apple that shows this effect well

[sabertoothwalrus]

OH THIS IS EXCELLENT THANK YOU

[witch--tips]

This would be an excellent opportunity to make sigils & easily enchant apples!!!

There are actually a lot of rules to magic.

Like yes, there's no rules, but if your takeaway from that is that there's literally no rules, then I think you missed the larger conversation about the specific ways in which there are no rules.

What "there's no rules" means is that there is not one universal set of rules that applies to every practitioner.

It means that nobody gets to act as an authority on what the rules are for everyone else.

It means that if you show up on somebody else's post saying "the first rule of witchcraft is that you must only use magic for good" you will probably (and deservedly) be told to fuck off.

What "there's no rules" does NOT mean is that there are literally no rules. There are SO many rules. People just work within their own set of rules.

Some rules come with the territory of working within a specific tradition.

Some rules are set by entities that practitioners work with, and might be quite specific to each individual.

Some rules are like laws of physics. They define the mechanisms by which magic works within a paradigm, and what the limits are on what it can do. A magical practice consisting of "I can do literally anything," is typically a practice that hasn't had a lot of genuine thought put into it. I have yet to meet anybody who can literally turn invisible or fly.

Some rules are more like a personal code of ethics.

So, when you burst into someone else's post to announce that there are no rules, you might not be told to fuck off quite as quickly as if you turned up to impose your personal rules on other people, but you are essentially signaling that you do not understand the concept of rules within a magical practice.

Disclaimer: some people are going to be obnoxious and make their own posts about how everyone else should be following their rules, and while it might be tempting to correct them, in my experience these people tend to get 0 notes, and you're more likely to give them the exposure they desire by starting a flame war. When they find that followers don't come flocking to them, they eventually get bored and give up.

of course i don't have two black chime candles

damnit

i wanted to fuck shit up this blood moon

[a-single-white-crow]

Use icecubes in place of candles. Especially if it's made with a specific magical water you already have on hand.

Highly recommend (river water is always down to fuck shit up I find)

[space-queen]

you ANGEL

thank you for the idea!!!!

*jots this down and goes to find my ice cube tray*

Low Energy Witchcraft

Enchant your laundry detergent/fabric softener with your intent so that your clothes come out charmed. For example, you can charge your laundry with protection magic so that every item of clothing is like armor.

When I was a kid I had a book of like, "fun physics experiments for kids". And one of them was an "experiment" where you hold an object by a string and just by focusing on the direction you wanted it to swing, it would start to move in that direction even without your input. The book of course explained that this was the ideomotor effect, a phenomenon where your thoughts can create minute, unconscious movements in your body.

Then a couple years later I got a fortune-telling kit that included a pendulum. You hold the pendulum over a piece of paper that says "yes" and "no" and ask a question, and whichever way the pendulum moves is the answer.

At which point I was like "hey WAIT a minute", and in hindsight I think that experience explains most things about who I am as a person

tips for someone that wants to write their own spells but doesn't know how?

anon! hey i found something for you that i made 7 years ago.

this just kinda lays out the act of spell-writing in a neat little infographic. i made this for visual learners like myself who like to have a template for things as a place to start.

these are categories that you can use to help you write and plan out a spell, in no particular order.

i hope this helps at least get ya going! let me know if you wanna know specifics.

guys should i try to learn cartomancy with pokemon cards. would that be awesome or extremely difficult

[creature-wizard]

Feeling like maybe wands should come back in witchcraft because they are easy to ethically source, can be used for like a million different things, and can be used for many years.
