Y’all do realize that curses are generally done in retaliation, right? Like I don’t get up in the morning and look through the announcements page in the newspaper for a random name and decide I’m gonna curse that guy today. Maybe some people do curse random people because they want to but…
These are acts of self-preservation.
They are ways of moving forward when no forward direction appears.
But y’all don’t see that.
You see a ruthless, uncaring sociopath who only cares about themself.
Because that’s what curse-shaming does. It takes a person seeking to get back on their feet and then knocks them down again because they didn’t do it the right way. The accepted way. The pretty way.
Healing ain’t pretty. Never been.
🛡 Warding 🛡
Disclaimer: This is all based on my research, path, opinion & experiences! Intro: I really was holding out on doing this post because it’s such a big, important topic to cover and I really don’t want to mess it up or get anything wrong. This post needs to be done though, people have asked if I have such a post and an anon suggested it. So finally, here it is. - What Is Warding?: Warding is a type of magick, it is the act of creating an energetic barrier around you, your home, an object, ect. They can be temporary or permanent, although typically they are cast with the long term in mind. They can banish or turn away whatever you choose. Warding is an excellent skill to have because it can keep you, and even others safe and with practice you can do it anytime with just about whatever you have on hand. When Should I Ward?: Whenever you want an energetic barrier around you, most people consistently ward their home, themselves or their place of practice. Some people even ward their space every time they prepare for a spell. It should be done consistently in any area you want protected, but exactly where and how often is entirely up to the practitioner. What Should I Do Before?: Cleanse, a ward is a barrier of energy and in the same way that it keeps things out it also keeps things in. You don’t want to trap anything inside of it. Cleanse yourself before you ward yourself. Cleanse your space before you ward your space! Tips Before You Ward: Phrasing: Keep the phrasing in mind! You don’t want to keep anything out that you want in, or let something in that you want out. If you’re chanting or using sigils ect keep in mind exactly what you want to keep out both in your methods and in your mind. Covering everything: Make sure to cover everything, a ward is useless if there’s a weakness in it or if the ceiling & floor aren’t probably covered. Be super thorough! Layering Your Wards: One small little wimpy barrier? Ha, the spirits say as they scramble into your home to wreak havoc! You need to layer your wards, don’t just use one method one time, there’s no such thing as too much warding. What Are Some Ways That I Can Ward?: Now we’ll get right down to the methods you can use to ward yourself and your space! Remember that warding is important and needs to be effective, don’t try anything that you don’t have experience with for warding. At first, focus on the stuff you know. If you like sigils, use sigils at first and slowly work your way into using other more complex methods or methods that solely rely on your abilities. • Circle Casting: You cast a circle by summoning the four elements to protect & energize what is in the circle. - Here’s my post about circles & how to cast them • Chanting/Speaking: Come up with a protective chant you can use to ward your space. This chant could be someone else’s or your own as long as you feel it’s effective. Speak it aloud and visualize a layer of energy protecting your space. • Incense: Burn a protective incense in the space you’d like to ward and visualize a barrier protecting your space. • Athame: Draw out the line of your ward with your athame, visualize the wall appearing, covering everything with a thick layer of energy. • Spraying: Spray a mix of blessed/magickal waters and or herbs with protective properties in the space you want to ward. • Sigils: Create a sigil using your favorite method with the intent to “ward” or “protect/protection.” Then charge and activate it as a layer of protection! Here’s my post on sigils if you’re interested in that: - Sigil Post • Jar Spells: You could mix up a jar spell for warding, set it in your house and forget it as a layer of warding. - My protective jar spell post • Anointment: Anoint the doorways of your space, you could also anoint the ceiling, floor, walls, corners, honestly go for it. • Salt: Sprinkle salt all around the edge of your home or space. Make sure to sprinkle salt on the INSIDE of your harm as salt can harm plants & wildlife if used outside. If you’d like to make a barrier on the outside of your home, you can use dried & crushed eggshells in place of salt. - Post on how to make eggshell powder here - • Hag stones: Hag stones are stones with holes in them that have been corroded into the stone because of rushing water. It is believed rushing water is protective & cleansing so if you wear a stone that sat in it long enough to have parts corroded away, that the stone will maintain and keep those properties with it. It’s a great way to personally ward yourself, and an excuse to go out in nature. They look like this!
• Energy Manipulation: If you’ve got a knack for manipulating energy, you can create a barrier through work and visualization that surrounds yourself or your space. This isn’t recommended for beginners though! Links: - Horse Warding Charm By @anothersusurrus - House Warding Spritz Mixture By @seleneblackwell Both of these are great if you’re looking for specific spells, types of magick, correspondences, sigils, ect! - Protection Magic Masterpost Part 1 By @auricwitch - Protection Magic Masterpost Part 2 By @auricwitch Personal Wards: Also remember not just to ward your space but yourself, if you layer your home with wards, what happens when you leave? Exactly. Keep yourself safe too! Circle casting & hag stones are great methods I mentioned above that are good for personal warding. Can I Ward Specific Things And Not Others?: Absolutely! I mentioned this in the phrasing section of this post, keep in mind exactly what you want to keep out when you’re warding. I like words like “negative” or “harmful” or “with ill intent” because they don’t necessarily keep out the Fae or positive/neutral spirits but it does keep out anything that wants to harm you in general. Just think about it ahead of time, find wording or a phrase you like and keep that in mind as you ward. What If I Live With People?: If you’re out of the broom closet, explain to your family/roommates what you’re doing and why you’re doing it and make sure they’re cool with it and are aware of what’s going on. If you’re not out of the broom closet, you may have to resort to only warding yourself/your room, & that’s okay! I hope this helps someone or teaches them something new! Enjoy! Have a lovely day 💖
A devotee is a small piece of a deity’s influence on earth. You are their agent, their image, their model and their example to the world. Doesn’t it make sense that they’d want their followers to be the happiest and healthiest people they can be? Elevating yourself through self care and self love is one of the purest acts of devotion that exists.
Nine things about being brought back from the dead
You will be cold
You will wake up screaming, you all do.
Your entire body will throb, the pain will eventually subside; being brought back is never a painless task.
Do not get up immediately, you will be nauseous and your body will need time to readjust to this realm.
Ask for more blankets, you will feel very cold.
You will not remember how you died, do not ask.
Do not ask the practitioner how they performed the ritual, this is considered bad luck and you will not last long.
Your loved ones will be ecstatic to have you back, consider this a blessing.
Thank the practitioner and let them be on their way, if they do not look you in the eye consider this a bad omen.

Making a Manifestation Blog
This is something I did really recently and I’m already astounded by the results. It’s really simple, and open to anything you want it to be.
This started as an experiment when I realised I wrote stories which genuinely manifested my current boyfriend. I wanted to apply that idea to a blog; the idea being I’d create a space which was a ‘wish trap’ and so anything I put there would begin to manifest.
Step number one is to make the blog and invite people to follow if you wish! Mine is @manifestwithariel. Having people follow the blog is a good way of creating a positive energy space as following gives sight to the posts and so can harness energy inadvertently.
Step two is to pump it with energy yourself. My main way of doing this is every time I see an angel number, I’ll post it. This is like a luck stamp, where I note down every good sign I’m getting. They’re all collected into this one space, concentrating the space with creative positive energy. This is the foundations of our wish trap.
The third thing you want to do is add in chants, poetry, and thanks to guides, the universe and so on. This is the blanket layer of the blog, and you can do however often you wish. Make these about creation and harnessing energy and dreams. These posts are going to represent the malliable aspect of life in front of you.
The fourth and final step is to write your manifestation pieces! Letters asking for things or stories or so on! Try not to ask for way more than you put out in angel numbers and chants, ideally you want to pump in that energy enough to eventually take out in a manifestation.
This is also a really good way of recycling your own energy because as you begin to manifest, you’ll see more signs and numbers to post back to the blog as future wish energy!
I can’t promise this is going to work for everyone, but it’s doing great for me and either way is super fun!
Hi, guys!
My shop is currently stocked with 15 handmade individual wands with an array of crystals, lengths, woods.
These are all fashioned with intent and love, then charged by yours truly. I make each with its own personality and energy, and who knows, one may just match you!
You can find them all here.
It would be really cool if this got notes ❤️
Mercury: *in retrograde*
Virgos:
So I haven’t seen a post on fire talking?
It’s basically an old verbal charm that is still being passed around.
It’s sort of a profane cousin to praying the heat out of a burn, and if you haven’t heard of that either.. Well… These are things.
Faith healers are said to do it by praying. This is how my grandmother did it. The idea is, as the charm is finished, the burn stops hurting and is reported to heal faster and without scars.
There’s another way to do it, however. It sometimes causes pain/ itching at the site of the burn for 15-30 minutes when you do it the way that I know to do it, but the charm is generally a variation on:
“Three ladies came from the east. One brought fire, two brought frost.
Out with fire,
In with frost.
Out with fire,
In with frost,
Out with fire,
In with frost.
You kneel to the person whos burned and whisper it over the burn near silently, speaking into the burn. People who can make it work are refered to as Fire Talkers.
Variations exist but I generally hear it told as being repeated three times.
The same charm has been used against fever, but I’ve never tried it for that.
It does however work on certain rashes.
Also it is passed along with related superstitions regarding its passing : it can only be taught by someone who can do it, and only ever from male to female or female to male, according to the superstitions I’ve heard it passed along with, it’s generally passed across the gender gap. It’s said that if this rule isn’t followed the gift of the ability will pass from the teacher to the student permanently and the teacher will lose the ability.
Anyway. It’s a neat bit of hocus pocus.
Obviously folk magic is not a replacement for medical care but generally its used on mild burns anyway and generally only when medical care is totally unavailable.
I don’t know who needs to hear this, but Hestia is proud of you.
She is proud of your successes, however big or small they seem to you. She’s proud that you kept pushing through, and that you keep pushing through. She’s proud of when you said yes to something, and when you said no. Saying no is a powerful boundary.
She’s proud when you fail too. Failures can be tough, but she’s there by your side and is proud you put yourself out there enough to fail. Failures lead to different successes.
She’s proud of how you handle things, and how you learn. She’s proud of the days where you get some unpleasant, but needed, things done and she’s proud when you choose to spend the day focusing on you.
She’s proud of you for everything you do, even if you feel like you don’t deserve it. All of those things contribute to who you are, whether you are simply surviving it, embracing it, or learning from it.
HESTIA IS PROUD OF YOU.

dealing with heartbreak
Read for Sun/Moon
aries, you sometimes deny confessing that losing that job, that person, whatever that is, is an actual problem, you continue acting up
sit with your sadness, talk it out, cry it out, heal from it, I know you can pick yourself up quickly, you do not hold grudges and you learn and grow and expand just as quickly
taurus, after losing that person, job you start believing you will never fall in love that intensely or you will never have another perfect job, or you will never have a strong bond with someone like that
but actually you are being prepared for something bigger always, that is how the Universe works, sometimes we just cannot or do not know how to deal with it and we think something like that is never going to happen to us, well yes that is true, something greater will
oh gemini, you rely on unhealthy coping mechanisms by distracting your attention instead of dealing with emotions and problems that involve emotions, you run away
trust me you are just as capable for dealing with it internally by being honest with all those personalities of yours, you naturally improvise and solve problems relating cerebral matters you can touch your own heart and solve it then you will be more than happy sharing information to others as to how you got over it, you will inspire and channel knowledge things you love
cancer, your insecurities bring out the worst in you, it will be very hard to believe you can go on without that job, dream, person
i know this is weird to say, because that was a big part of your life, but you could do it before them/that and you can do it without them/that again, plus by being stronger and wiser
leo, you feel like you cannot go on if you do not have at least one person who can encourage you and store faith and hope right back at ya
sometimes, oh heck, most of the times you are that person honey, you are all THAT, it is lovely having loyal friends and a strong support system but it all starts with you
virgo, over-analyzing the past, trying to figure out the exact moment when everything went downhill, instead of doing all that you need to accept the end
also you need to critisize less and worry more about yourself and those closest to you who are still worth it, who are still valuable, you are among those as well, worry about your future, about them being in your future too, worry about bettering yourself each day by looking at all sides not just the negatives
libra, oh a part of you does not even want to quit this idealization of this person, this dream, this situation that broke your heart, you like thinking there is a chance that you are still on the wagon, that you are going to continue being with the person, that you are going to help that friend, that you were not fired
honey, life is not perfect, disappointments, failures are going to happen and the first thing you need to do is accept them, cry it out, heal as I said before, and then take the world by storm, because you of all can surely do it
oh scorpio, you are angry and you want revenge, you want to make those people who disappointed you, hurt you feel the same pain you are feeling right now
a complete waste of time, the Universe will have its way, and you will be laughing at something they will surely get, karma is listening honey, but I do not have much to say, after all you are the Phoenix constantly transforming and bettering, constantly rising from the ashes
sagittarius, you constantly exhaust your mind with that person, that situation
it is on your way to greatness, it is occupying your in-fact philosophical mind, it is narrowing it instead of broadening it as you’d like, I believe your free-spirited self will re-invent as you always do, you understand things, just give yourself time
capricorn, you connect hardly, you disconnect just as hardly, you cut off people with difficulty and that is okay, you need some time to get over people, situations, failures
try to listen to an inner voice of intuition, heart, emotions more rather than the voice of critique, that is constantly with us and easily attuned with, easily available, experiences like this do make you more vulnerable, but more human as well
aquarius, you are actually in tune with your mood by listening to certain songs and by watching certain movies, which is good
but the movies and songs have an end as well as your healing should, because healing can easily go to clinging and not letting go, you are a fixed energy so be careful with this, let the music and artistry help your way to re-newel
pisces, the fragile heart, feeling each emotions with such depth, a never-seen depth for a regular human
you are also prone to depression and substances, be careful not to take a very bad route, but however, whatever happens remember to click that switch where your brain has ‘a-HA moments’ where you understand things, where everything clicks, where your intuition is so strong it is making your body do things on its own by reacting, never forget that you are spiritually accomplished, you do not need drugs you are drugs lol
it may be good to read for Venus as well!

The signs as of lately
Aries: sadness is something you are not accustomed to. Its been clouding your vision and your struggling hard to find a bright enough light to lift the fog. You’re searching for that fire within you. You’ve always counted on it to get you through. It’s not gone, it hasn’t abandoned you. It’s just soft enough to guide you through this. Reminding you that it’s ok to feel heart ache and that there is still beauty here. Take this stillness as a blessing. The fog will lift.
Taurus: grounded and tall. You’ve come through hell and back with flowers of peace in your hands. The marks of ash are still on your body but you hold these bright flowers effortlessly. You feel the weight of the past year roll off your back as you look out into endless mountains. You feel as powerful as those high peaks. It’s time to create, its time to be part of the divine.
Gemini: this is for you. You may not see it but you create waves in people. Heaviness may be constant visitor. And I know there’s a strange comfort to it. Trust when you feel it lifted and chase after it with all that you’ve got. You’re going to do great things. Anyone who sees you knows that.
Cancer: god sees your softness. There’s not much to say. You feel with every fiber in your body. I know you’ve grown up scared. I know you hold so much sadness. But I see your softness. I know you only mean well.
Leo: persistence is your greatest gift. I know you’re exhausted by the constant demands of this earth. You’re eyes show it with each line. You’re constantly tired. However it’s your strength and will that keeps you moving. You are loved beyond anything you could comprehend. This is worth it. I promise you.
Virgo: vulnerability and truth. Growing up you have learned to stay quite and polite. You’ve learned that emotions cause more harm than good. You’ve gravitated towards anything that offers great logic. However now is the time to leave that behind. It’s done it’s job. It’s time to sit with your emotions and to listen to your inner truth. Vulnerability will be you’re greatest strength.
Libra: we are so proud of you. You have covered treacherous waters. Your lungs are sore from coughing up the waters that weighed you down. You can catch your breath and look onward. You now have the power of the ocean within your blood. Carry on and do great things. We’re all counting on you.
Scorpio: let it dissolve. Let it sit on you tongue and truly taste it. Patience and kindness is what you most need. That may not make the most sense at this point because all you’ve been doing lately is waiting. You’ve been searching for answers and searching for kindness. Those have always been with in you. Listen to your divine self. Let go of the fear that has been paralyzing you. Find your breath and step into this new chapter with everything you’ve got. Golden days are ahead.
Sagittarius: these are things you have not experienced. Loneliness feels like a guest who’s over stayed their welcome. I know you’re running from it. I know you’ve always been running. Always been looking for the better thing. This is the universe reminding you to find peace within your self.
Capricorn: lack of stability. This is your greatest fear. You’re so accustomed to these strict guidelines that rule your life. However you’ve been building these with materials that are going to break easily. This is something you turn your head away from. You’re not ready to sit with your old wounds. To be broken is a way of growth. Let it fall.
Aquarius: cutting off your leaves. You feel this will give you a fresh start. However you’re confusing your leaves with your roots leaving you uprooted. You confuse this with joy. Child you have to stop playing hide and seek. It’s time to sit and sort through all that you’ve been avoiding. It’s time to come home.
Pisces: searching for heaven. You keep pricking yourself on rose thrones. I’m not sure why your confused with the blood dripping off your fingers. Nothing has been making much sense to you lately. Come lay down and rest. The answers will not show them self to you right now. All you can do is rest. Change is on the horizon. Have faith.
The Zodiac Signs need to stop...
Aries: Stop trying the best in everyone else’s eyes and be the best to yourself.
Taurus: Stop putting yourself in situations you complain about
Cancer: Stop pretending you’re not an emotional roller coaster
Gemini: Stop insulting people’s intelligence
Leo: Stop playing victim
Virgo: Stop being selfish
Libra: Stop flirting with people when you’re in a relationship
Scorpio: Stop bossing people around when its suppose to be fun
Sagittarius: Stop having sex with everything possible
Capricorn: Stop being a savage to people cuz they don’t think like you
Aquarius: Stop bottling up your emotions and then lashing out as a result
Pisces: Stop giving others’ perspective more value than your own!
