A Witch’s Tea
Tea in the witch woods to be taken at four,
If the sun does shine or the rain does pour.
Toadstool sandwiches sliced like a dream
Brown boiled acorns and fairy cream.
Hawthorne berry jam on mandrake leaves,
Spiced dark tea all under the trees.
And if there’s room, do not forsake
At least one slice of full moon cake!

Sacred flame, sacred smoke.
From the Divine Feminine Oracle by Meggan Watterson.
Traditional Crystal Correspondences & Properties
From THE POWER OF GEMS AND CHARMS (1907) By GEO. H. BRATLEY.
Agate. This stone is cooling and allays fevers, quenches thirst, and quiets the pulse and heart throbs, insures good health and a long and prosperous life. They are also said by the ancients to render their wearer invisible. Bound on the horns of oxen will give a good harvest.
Amber. Is excellent for the fires of the soul, for the eyes, and for glandular swellings of the throat and lungs. It insures the wearer good luck, and a very long enjoyment of the qualities which make the wearer attractive.
Amethyst. This is a sure averter of drunkenness; it preserves from strong passions, and brings peace of mind; it promotes chastity, and will strengthen the will power. In battle it renders the wearer brave, far-seeing, and honourable.
Ammonite. It is used in the religious ceremonies of the Hindus, and is said, if placed near the deathbed of one dying, to introduce his soul to the deities.
Beryl. Used by the South Sea Is landers as a rainmaker, and said to be equally efficacious in bringing drought on their enemies.
Bezoar or Beza. A charm against plague and poison. Tavenier, the traveller, in his works, mentions this stone, and how to tell the true from the counterfeit, he says, “ There are two infallible tests: one is to place it in the mouth, and if it is genuine it will give a leap and fix itself on the palate; the other consists in placing the stone in a glass of water, and if true bezoar the water will boil. ”
Bloodstone. Gives courage, success, and wisdom in perilous undertakings. In the West Indies it is used for the cure of wounds, being wetted in cold water, and in magical works it is used in incantations. A favourite stone with the Gnostics, who employed it largely in their gems and talismans. Also called the heliotrope.
Bufonite . Cures the bite of snakes and other poisonous reptiles.
Carbuncle. Corrects evils resulting from mistaken friendships; it holds to the owner the passionate love of all those whose love may be desired.
Carnelian or Cornelian. Gives content and friendship. Promotes astral vision.
Cat’s Eye. A charm against witchcraft. It is lucky and possesses the virtue of enriching the wearer. Same as the chrysoberyl.
Chrysolite. Cures madness and despair, banishes misfortune, and gives hope.
Coral. Guards against evil. It is used in difficulties of the heart, lungs, and in indigestion; it excites nerve power, brilliancy and gladness, and is a true health giver.
Crystal. Brings calm, sweet sleep, and good dreams; it enables the inner soul to hear the silent voice of the oracle and to foretell future events .
Diamond . Gives faith, purity, life, joy, innocence, and repentance. Good for developing concentration and to promote spiritual ecstasy. Loses its brilliancy with the health of the wearer, and only regains it when the owner recovers . Capable of detecting poisons by exhibiting a moisture or perspiration on its surface.
Emerald . Gives faith; success in love, discovers false friends, promotes con stancy of mind and warm, true friendship, felicity in domestic life. It changes colour when false friends or false wit nesses are near, and as a love token it registers the degree of love. If it is pale, then love is waning; if it loses colour entirely, the lover is false and the love gone for ever. Its soft green colour has a beneficial effect upon the wearer’s own eyes, and is a good talisman for any eye trouble; but serpents are said to become blind if they even look at an emerald . If worn about the neck or finger is efficacious against fits and prevents convulsions in children.
Garnet. Constancy and fidelity in every engagement; gives cheerfulness and the ability to hold one’s own in the world. If worn out of season promotes discord between lovers.
Hyacinth . Worn on the neck or finger will preserve the wearer from infection even if he go into an infected place; gives honour, the support and esteem of superiors.
Jade. A powerful bringer of luck. All Chinese have a great belief in its fortune bestowing powers.
Jasper. Courage, wisdom, and firmness; success in dangerous enterprises. Lodestone. Will increase the mental powers, and enables the wearer to foretell future events .
Malachite . Brilliant success and happiness in every circumstance of life.
Moonstone. Protects from harm and danger; very cooling in fever if applied to both temples. Good fortune in love matters.
Olivine. Frees the mind from sadness and evil passions.
Onyx . Disturbs the slumbers and the mind; gives frightful dreams.
Opal. Denotes hope and good fortune; it sharpens the sight and strengthens the faith of the possessor. The fiery opal possesses the united virtues of all the gems into whose distinctive hues it is emblazoned: the ruby’s strength and courage; blue, the prosperity of the turquoise; green, the emerald’s faithful ness, and so with the other colours. It has long been a superstition that the opal is an unlucky stone to wear, but its original significance was good luck. It may safely be worn if it is the stone of the birth-month, or if one’s birthstone is worn at the same time. If these rules are not observed, it is fatal to love and will break friendships, also the female wearing it will bear no children.
Ophite . Gives the power to see visions and hear the voices of the invisible.
Pearl. Gives purity and innocence, also clearness to physical and mental sight. The pearl’s beauty depends much on the health of the wearer.
Peridot. Cheers the mind, prevents irritability, and removes depression.
Ruby. Divine power, love, dignity, and royalty. Holds to the owner the love of those loved; corrects evils resulting from mistaken friendships; discovers poison; will quicken the blood and in crease the will of the animal body, and will give vivacity; will cause obstacles to melt away, and inspire with bravery and zeal. It will bring one’s due in money that has been misappropriated.
Sapphire. Truth and constancy; de notes repentance; frees from enchantment; signifies piety and goodness; insures protection against many diseases, and will warn of hidden dangers. If the possessor wears it in any haunt of dissipation his actions will at once be known to the one he holds dearest.
Sardonyx. Gives conjugal felicity; favours fortune. The woman whose stone it is and who neglects to wear it is doomed to a lonely existence.
Snakestone. Renders its possessor in vulnerable against the bite of snakes.
Tiger’s Eye. A lucky stone; it enriches the wearer.
Topaz . Fidelity in friendship; pre vents bad dreams; cheers the wearer; strengthens the intellect; brightens the wit; protects against the perils of the sea; will lose its colour in the presence of poisons; gives nerve strength , and helps the heart and digestion.
Turquoise. Success, happiness, and many friends; prosperity in love, and obtains friends as is verified by the old saying: “ He who possesses a turquoise will always be sure of friends. ’ If given by a lover, it will lose its colour should the love wane, or will change colour if danger threatens the wearer.

Pink amethyst heart, amazing energy and gorgeous to look at. I love this piece with the wonderful druse top left.
I've seen a few of your posts on Hearth magic and it got me thinking, we protect the inside of our homes but do you have any ideas on how to protect the outside? I would love to have some ideas! Thank you :)
Charms and physical components to wards:
Add magical components to practical protection measures (gates, locks, etc.); wards, talismans/charms, a sprinkle of powder, etc.
A thin line of salt makes an excellent ward, and crushed/powdered eggshells can be used as an alternative for outside.
Create and bury protective jars in soil on your property. If you bury it directly in the ground, do it somewhere you’ll remember and consider what you’d do if the jar breaks and you have to recover the glass at some point (some people recommend biodegradable materials such as cardboard instead of glass). You can also bury it in a pot/ted plant—especially helpful if you don’t have a yard to dig in.
Some form of iron pounded into each corner of the property (in the soil or on a fence) or iron nails hammered into each corner of the house (or at least displayed) have been used as wards against spirits and the fae.
“Hang an iron horseshoe above your door, with the open end facing upward.” (1)
“Bells or wind chimes hung from the doors guard against intruders and stagnant energy. Hang them where air currents can ring them.” (1)
Plants and protection:
Use the trees and plants on your property to help create a protective ward
“Willow wands, bundled and affixed to a doorway, are a universal precaution against enchanters who seek to harm.” (2)
“Elderberry was thought to provide protection against witches, planted near homes” (3)
“For protective purposes, make a small ‘broom’ or whisk from a handful of birch twigs and use them to sweep around the edge of your property or home, symbolically (and literally), sweeping out the bad luck.” (4)
“[Holly] makes a very effective boundary hedge around the home, both physically and magically, protecting all within.” (4)
“Holly planted beside the front door is a tradition charm against lightning, fire and bewitching” (2)
“...Nettle also wards of ghosts and malefic spirits, whilst dried and sprinkled around the home or property.” (4)
House-warding plant combinations:
Pagan family protection combo: “Ivy (protection), snapdragons (ward negative spells), allysum (expels charms), pink geraniums (love), dark purple petunias (add power).” (5)
Hot spot container: “Zinnias, red coxcomb (protective, aids healing), marigolds (repel evil, nightmares).” (5)
Witch window box: “Red geraniums (protection, guard home), vinca vine (binding, protection), allysum, blue lobelia (halt gossip)” (5)
House-warding plants pg 131 of (1) and pgs 75 and 76 of (2):
Odds and ends:
“Walk your property boundaries with corneal and water (separately), asking blessings and friendship of the the spirits of the land, to guard and protect those who live here.” (1)

I’m not exaggerating when I say that the current state of fatphobia is the equivalent of the state of sexism, homophobia, transphobia, etc. pre-1900s. That is how horrid and dire the situation is.
you know that women didn’t have rights pre-1900s? they couldn’t charge their husband for rape, couldn’t open bank accounts, couldn’t vote.
like ik body shaming is a thing but point to me where fat people are being denied human rights lol
Transphobic fatphobes can fuck off
To my trans friends, major major trigger warning with this blog. I read a total of three posts and am appalled. Best just to block. Even more so on account of them being a minor.
I mean they do have point tho
How many terrible frog-themed blogs are going to comment on this post? Somehow we’re at two. Can we make it three?
I have been receiving so much fatphobic harassment because of this post, because you all aren’t ready to give a shit about fat people. I keep being asked how this post could possibly be true since no one here is capable of doing their own fucking research. So here you fatphobic fucks go!
-Discrimination against fat people is completely legal
-The abuse and oppression of fat people is so normalized that it’s fucking televised and used as entertainment. (Listen to the latest episode of Maintenance Phase, 1/19/2021)
-There is absolutely no backlash for fatphobia at all. Fatphobes can get away with everything while other forms of oppression will have consequences. If I’m discriminated against for being gay, there are numerous organizations and people I can go to for help. Fat people have absolutely nothing, not even a community. If something happens to us, we’re forced to take it.
-Fat people experience exponential amounts of medical abuse. We are denied proper healthcare.
-Job discrimination
-Workplace harassment
-Wage gap
-Little access to basic needs like clothing
-The science disproving diets and myths about weight has been out for decades, but people still believe in the debunked science. They still use it to justify the abuse and oppression of fat people. Fat people are still misled into taking dangerous and unhealthy methods in order to become “thin” by doctors and overall society. (Thin is in quotation marks because a fat person will never magically attain skinny person genetics after being born. The weight will be gained back every time.)
-Fat people are encouraged to have eating disorders. An eating disorder is unhealthy in a skinny person, but anorexia is apparently a-okay in a fat person. You have to be skinny to even be diagnosed.
-Fat trans people are denied top surgery and other methods of transitioning
-Every single thing on this planet is made solely for skinny people. Every single damn thing.
-Fatphobia is unable to be separated from other forms of oppression like sexism, transphobia, ableism, racism, etc.
-Since there’s barely anyone fighting fatphobia, the people who do have to fight 20 times as hard
-Fat people have no positive representation. We’re used as metaphors for greed, capitalism, and evil. We’re discriminated against in every way when it comes to how we’re represented, if we’re even represented at all.
-Fat people are encouraged to have surgeries to MUTILATE OUR ORGANS in order to conform
-Our deaths are excused. There are numerous instances where a fat person will be murdered and our weight is used against us, used as an excuse for why it “couldn’t possibly have been murder when this fat person was so big, they could have fought back! They could have been a threat, your honor!”
-The worth of fat people’s lives has been debated during COVID. We are at risk of being denied ventilators and other life saving forms of care because our lives are seen as not worth saving.
-We’re used as scapegoats for everything. Just look at how the British government has been abusing fat people during COVID.
-There are multibillion dollar industries dedicated to abusing fat people.
-Our oppression is referred to as “fat shaming” because the world isn’t ready to accept the fact that fatphobia runs rampant in society and is far more than verbal abuse alone. The world downplays what fatphobia is by calling it “fat shaming.” The term also simultaneously implies that fat people have something to be “shamed” for but it’s rude to do so. That is not the case. Fat people experience real oppression, and we are not responsible for it. You fatphobes are.
-In progressive spaces, all other forms of oppression are not allowed. However, fatphobia is still fair game to the left. Not even the people fighting for equality give a damn about fat people. For example, the fatphobes who have been sending me asks about this post are all part of minorities themselves and are angry that I would dare talk about how bad fat people have it too.
These are all off the top of my head. This doesn’t even scratch the surface. I’m being asked to explain every little detail about a form of oppression as complex as sexism or homophobia. Imagine being asked to do that. Imagine being asked to prove you and your oppression are enough for the left. Imagine living before any movement has commenced against the oppression you face. Imagine all of the abuse you endure being seen as normal, acceptable, and justified.
If you think “body shaming” is the only thing that fat people endure, fuck you. If you think fatphobia isn’t real, fuck you. If you think fatphobia isn’t as bad or as important as other forms of oppression, fuck you so fucking much.
“Progressive” people actually care about equality challenge.
Just diet and exercise, it’s not that hard
Goddamn yall really regard fat people as not even human..
Would you accept this harassment for any other community?
I’m trans femme and I’m vey fat. I’ve frequently had to point out that as a trans person I have faced less discrimination than I have for being a fat person, even within the queer/trans community which purports itself to be very inclusive - except when it comes to fat bodies.
Think about that. Trans people face considerable discrimination regarding our bodily autonomy and acceptance for who we are physically and yet even in that community, which should know better, fatphobia is still very present and is a very real issue.
Fatphobia is rampant in all cultures and subcultures and yet it’s completely downplayed and ignored compared to other types and forms of discrimination.
i can think of one example but i’m sure there are MANY more, where a sexual assault victim was told she should have considered herself “flattered” that someone wanted her because she was fat. and it was said BY THE JUDGE. many fat people do not come forward when they are sexually assaulted because we are considered undesirable so why would anyone want to rape us? but fatphobia is the exact reason why predators would target us–we don’t look like victims. just sad, lonely, and pathetic.
Favorite things.
