reblog this if you’re jewish or your blog is a safe space for jewish people
in light of recent events as well as a new rise in creating nazi ocs I think this post is an important one to have on your blog if you stand behind your jewish followers or are jewish yourself.
if we’re mutuals just know that while i probably will never ever message you i’ll still kick my legs and twirl my hair around my finger and let out a longing sigh like a crushing schoolgirl whenever i see your url in my notes

Nightmare Before Christmas Tarot Deck!
Yesterday, I went out with one of my best friends to the mall. Side note: it’s been foreverrrr since I’ve been to the mall. And I ended up getting The Nightmare Before Christmas tarot deck! I saw it at Spencer’s along with Disney’s Villian deck. I got my deck at Attic Salt/Fuego, though. And then, we went to Box lunch and low and behold was the deck as well! Although in a coffin box. The only difference I knew of was the boxes, but that’s it.
I told one of my other best friends I had gotten it and she was excited. I was like “it was $22 bucks!” Anyways, the deck is beautiful. Has that new book smell. *chefs kiss* The art, perfection. I adore it. The Fool is Jack (in the picture, the card is The Moon, i didn’t realize that till I was done). The High Priestess is Sally. The Devil is Oogie Boogie (no shocker). The 4 minor arc suits are Needles, Presents, Candles, and Potions. I don’t know which suit is related to the actual suits, yet. But yes, I love it.
Hispanic just means Spanish is your first/(one of your primary) language and isn't related to ethnicity or country of origin at all,just an FYI ❤
Oooh! Thank you anon! I’m raised in a white household (adopted) so I never been familiar with the correct ethnicity terms.
Thinking of doing brujería. Before y’all attack me, I am Hispanic, so by blood heritage I can do brujería. I haven’t done much research on it, but definitely will. If anyone does do brujería, some advice be cool!
Blessed be, loves!
Hello loves! It’s been forever! I didn’t abandon witchcraft or this blog, so don’t worry. Life’s been very busy. College, babysitting, death. A lot. Note: this is a side blog. I have been wanting to get back into swing of things. So hopefully, you’ll see more of me soon!
Blessed be, loves!
So, with all the terrorists and tr*mp shit going on, I'm doing a spell to protect the innocent workers inside. But I also want to... hurry up karma a little bit. So while it's not really a curse, I'm looking for a good spell that will send whatever harm they do to others right back at them. (Sort of like the threefold law)
I was hoping you could help me find a good one?🖤 I can't just sit silently when I know I can help, just like with the BLM protection spell a lot of us did.
Hello anon! I haven’t been on for awhile. But I do agree with your intentions totally! To be honest thought, I don’t know any spells to help with this. I would suggest pray to your deity (if you do have one) and hopefully they will do something.
It’s September 1st motherfuckers, you know what that means >:)
*puts tiny witch hat on my cat*
My favourite spell has been made into a graphic!
Get that money, babies!
reblog if ur the witch friend
Actually useful shit to have as a witch
You really don't need all the fancy bullshit every tumblr influencer will ever tell you to use. Here's my countdown ofaxtually useful shit.
A pocket knife, preferably with a wood handle. Use that bitch for everything, enchant it, carve symbols in it. It will absolutely be your best friend.
A good bag or backpack with a couple of plastic or ziploc bags in it. If you ever run off into the woods to find minerals, bones, plants, etc. A set aside bag and some things to store your treasures in becomes a necessity.
Basic divinatory sets. You don't have to buy fancy shit, learn to divine with playing cards and dice, or learn geomancy, lithomancy, or rune casting with homemade sets. A tarot deck is nice, but it isn't necessary when you've got so many other divinatory aids available.
A nice sized chunk of scrap cloth. When you process dried plants or sort new ones, that shit can and will get everywhere. A scrap piece of muslin or linen can help contain all of that mess and make clean up way easier.
A stash of good rocks. Draw sigils or symbols on those babies and leave them in the garden, the windowsill,property boundaries, under the stoop, etc. You can never have too many good rocks.
A pendulum, for fucks sake. The cards are going to be vague as hell when you're trying to figure out yes or no questions, and using a candle to communicate with spirits is really fucking hard outside. If you can't afford one, find a nice chunk of pointy quartz and learn to macrame.
A workspace. Everyone talks about having big fancy altars, but no one mentions that you need a good surface to do all your work on.
Storage, so much storage. I'm not talking about mason jars and pill bottles, I'm talking about where you put all the things you put in those jars. Having a workspace with drawers is immeasurably helpful.
A broom and water source. You're going to be cleaning up after yourself a lot, it's helpful to have a jug of water and a broom that stays by your workspace.
A mode of cleansing. I make a salt concoction to scatter around my workspace on short notice and store it close by.
On that note: SOMETHING TO CANCEL SPELLS WITH. Eventually, something will go wrong. You'll want to end that spell immediately. Have something to do it with.
A strainer. If you don't have a blender, rub dried plants across it to get a powder. If you do have a blender, you can strain that powder with it. Either way, if you intend to powder shit, get a strainer.
Small trays. It makes drying flowers so much easier if you have a small metal surface to contain them with- then just stick those suckers in a southern window and let em go.
Yarn/string scraps. Having a box or drawer of scraps makes trying this up to dry easier and a bit less wasteful.
A stash of offerings for whatever you work with. Honey for fae, coins for graveyard gatekeepers, alcohol for ancestors, etc.
Protective talismans or charms. Once you're into all of this stuff, you'll likely stick your nose in something you shouldn't. Having basic protection with you or in your workspace is incredibly important. A key and hagstone with red string is simple and effective.
A lighter- so many people forget the most basic shit. You're going to want to light shit on fire if you're a witch.
And a last tip- if something is too hard for a mortar and pestle, a plastic bag and hammer works too.
50 witchy things to do in quarantine:
cleanse your house thoroughly
banish any unwanted energies
put some time into making solid wards
rearrange/cleanse your altar space and tools
take inventory of your supplies
make new batches of sun and moon waters (and any salts, tinctures, etc. you like to keep on hand)
start a dream journal now that you have the time
find a witchy article or book on somewhere like JSTOR and learn something new (and tell other witches about it)
try kitchen witchcraft if you haven’t already
create a new sigil or charm to display in your house
bless or add a glamor to an item in your home (ex. adding a glamour to a centerpiece so the food always looks good or to the welcome mat so people don’t notice the messes so much)
send a blessing to those who are helping (and donations, if you can)
or perhaps jinx, hex, curse, or bind those doing harm
set aside time each day to meditate– it’s the perfect time to start such a habit!
leave an offering to or commune with a spirit or deity you have not in a while due to time constraints
try a type of magic you are interested in, but struggle with
practice with your divination tools to get better at them
update your grimoire with things you’ve been meaning to write down
make a crystal grid of your own
make your own pendulum and board
make your own oracle deck
using the items you already have, make a new powder, oil, or tincture for an intent you have often
make a sigil and set it as your phone background
paint your phone case with a sigil, a symbol, or a color coordinated with your intention (use acrylic and then coat it in mod podge!)
create a new talisman
write a hymn or incantation
create a playlist to listen to during witchy things
buy a service from a local witch if you can afford to– many are in need of money right now, especially
draw, paint, or sculpt a deity you worship and add it to your altar
use notecards to write down and categorize things you have for each basic intention (ex. write down all of the herbs, crystals, etc. you have for love, for money, etc. so you never have to sit and think hard on what you can use– it’s a quick-reference for yourself)
write down your favorite spells or ones that you want to try
in your school or work space, add a sigil or charm for productivity, focus, or stress-relief
make a new sachet for sleep
contact a witch friend and facetime them to meditate together or do readings for each other. it’s important to stay in touch!
make shoebox, on-the-go, or pocket altars so when quarantine is over you’ll keep your practice up in daily life
write yourself affirmation cards or letters to open in a month/year/whenever you like
make your own runes
enchant a piece of clothing or jewelry for stress-relief or motivation
learn more about your own natal chart
transfer the info you look for in your grimoire most often to make a quick-reference book of the most important pages for yourself
learn about the plants and trees around your house and their properties
sit in your yard for a little while and enjoy nature and it’s sounds
open your curtains and blinds and windows to let in a little fresh air and sun into the house
start journaling– being in-tune with yourself will improve you as a witch
write letters or send care packages to witchy friends with things like bay leaves, sigils, and kind notes
on your next grocery run, grab some seeds or plants and plant whatever is in season where you are. try something that can grow in your windowsill, if you’re new! this is a way to have sustainable ingredients for your witchcraft that has no pesticides and is cultivated with your energy.
alternatively, get flower seeds and plant them around your home. this will also give you a reason to step outside to tend to them from time to time.
learn a new song or hymn and perform it as an offering to your deity of choice
make a list of this year’s dates of full and new moons, transits, and holidays and mark them in your calendar or put them in the notes of your phone
take the time to monitor your own energy and take care of yourself <3
Composting in Witchcraft!
I was eating breakfast this morning, peeling my clementine and wrapping the peel around itself to resemble a rose, thinking about getting out to my garden to do some weeding, and I think I just had a really good idea: using compost as a part of the craft!
Green witches, hear me out! What about using your compost pile as a way to make offerings, “bury” spells, charge sigils, etc? Each item added has its own correspondence! The options are endless!
🌱Citrus peels to bring happiness 🌱Coffee grounds for success and motivation 🌱Egg shells for protection 🌱Sigils written on banana peels 🌱Food offerings wrapped in lettuce leaves 🌱Decaying plants to represent the cycle of life, death, and rebirth 🌱Herbal tea leaves for whichever correspondence you like! 🌱Using sun, moon, or crystal water to add intention 🌱 The actual process of composting helps charge sigils and cast your spells
This is something I am definitely going to have to play around with! Feel free to add your own ideas and correspondences! This is just what I’ve come up with off the top of my head, but I’d love to hear your input! 😊
can't wait to finally dive into my practice and have alters n my own business 🥺🥺 i already started a small ancestor alter n it's just the beginning!!
Bipolar Witch Tips
🔮-charge your meds with crystals: Charge your antipsychotics with celestite for a clear head and high vibrational energy. Charge your antidepressants with citrine for happiness and a positive outlook on life. Charge your mood stabilizers with clear quartz for balance and harmony.
🔮-practice meditation: It’s one of the best tools for bipolar, and it’s an intrinsic part of a spiritual practice. If you have ADHD, as a lot of Bipolar people do, practice taking walks or doing something physical while you meditate. If you have problems with dissociation, practice counting your breaths and grounding instead of meditating.
🔮-having delusions or hallucinations? Having someone you trust to talk to about it can help a lot. Making a clear-communication glamor spell can help you explain what you’re going through clearly and concisely. Mix together dill, oregano, caraway and olive oil. Drop in a few drops of moon water. Shake it all together while focusing your energy into the bottle. Dab it onto your lips and go talk to your trusted loved one. You will be okay. You are cared about. You are loved.
🔮-when having a depressive episode, one of the best things you can do for yourself is cleaning and cleansing. Take five minutes to clean one thing in the room you’re in. While you clean, focus on energetically cleaning your environment, from the floor to the roof. You’ll feel a lot better and you may even be more motivated to clean and cleanse some more!
🔮-Another helpful cleansing tip is to draw an eye and put a few drops of moon water on the paper, then sprinkle some pepper on top. Put the paper up where it can see you and don’t take it down until you’ve cleaned what you want to clean.
🔮-one thing I like to do when having a hypomanic episode is to charge my crystals with my excess energy. It keeps me balanced and fills my crystals with my own happy, giddy energy that really gives them a strong kick.
🔮-Being a witch while being bipolar (or mentally ill in general) can be really hard. It can be difficult to find the time and energy to devote to your craft, so please be patient with yourself. I’ve had to go for months without practicing simply because I was learning to survive with the symptoms of my illness. Don’t be hard on yourself. You’re doing your best and I’m so so proud of you!
