@witchtarts-blog
Update
As of now, I'm actually going to announce myself on a hiatus. I see myself rejoining after I have collected myself, but not for a while and not on the other adoption blog. Lmao well I'll be back before you know it and it will most likely be before the summer ends. Good luck!
I am Leaving
Hey everyone, so as you may have heard, I am leaving Tumblr. I am pretty sure this is permanent this time but there’s always a possibility that I will come back sometime. I have announced it on @thatdragonplace and I feel terrible for leaving on this note. It’s for the better and you’ll get a full explanation as to why in the other post. One reason I am leaving this blog that is not mentioned on the other post is because I dont want to watch myself be forgotten on that blog and basically be a lump of flesh sulking around Tumblr all depressingly. I hope to inspire you to become happy with who you are and if you already are, well i hope i did something for you lmao.
“I want to thank every one of you for making this such a wonderful experience and I feel absolutely terrible for leaving when so many people look up to me for help and as a guide. I never have expected to impact people’s lives (even if it’s just to reblog a post that someone may use) in this way and being told that someone uses me as a reference blog, still completely blows my mind. I want to let you know that i love every single one of you. So much. And I hope my actions have somehow influenced you to grow as a person and if not, well I hope you continue to keep being you and continue for the better. Thank you for every single positive thing anyone has said to me/about me, it has brought me so much positivity and inspiration that I even tried to influence other people to do the same for anyone else in the community because feeling the way I do is something i would not want to wish upon anyone (hence the #positivityforyourface) and I encourage you to keep spreading love and positivity, and remember that you are talking to actual people on the other end here. Your actions/words may stick by someone for the rest of their life, whether good or bad, and you should ALWAYS remember that. I actually think the comment I remember the most was an anonymous comment dropped by more than 6 months ago. It said “Your blog gives off such warm and positive vibes and its just very welcoming to be here.” Even if it wasn’t those exact words, that’s how I remember it and it was awesome.” (<<< wow that was copied and pasted off of the other post. How original am I?)
I’m going to link some blogs that I have found helpful if you ever need anyone to help you, these dudes are awesome. @slum–lord (literally one of the first people I followed when being on Tumblr. They offer wonderful readings and if you have anything to spare, you should go and help them out) @hoodiecladknight (OMG ily sooo much and you’ve seen me leave like twice? Before but not on a note this high. I just want to let you know that you were a huge inspiration to me and I hope you continue your amazing art and being your beautiful self. Did i mention that this person also does ART COMMISIONS???? Yeah well you should go support them and commission them an stuff) @wackydoodledevon (This person isn’t really a witch related blog but they’re an art blog and i see their amazing art on my dash every day and they deserve more love so GO SEND THEM POSITIVE COMMENTS AND LIKES AND REBLOGS as my dying wish) @sigil-seer (You are like my smol child. I feel like i have raised this one because you are amazing and I got to watch you grow from a small bean. They offer a lot of the information I have as far as reblogs and posts so I mean. Yay.) @basilvercrow (I dont know this person but i get a lot of my posts from them and they are a blog a lot like mine so if you need help when it comes to all general stuff, I would recommend this person!! Ily though) @urbanspellcraft (This person I also dont know personally but they offer great information for people and this blog is a key blog if you need help) @smallspacewitch (Also a blog a lot like mine, they are more active when it comes to original posts and honestly their altar is so cute. (Yes i saw) You’re p neat and I hope you continue as an awesome person!) @pocketfoxs (Ok can I just say you’re amazing and I love you so much? Because you’re such a wonderful person and I look up to you. You put off such wonderful and comforting vibes and they make me want to continue being the best person I can be. Oh did I also hear something about READINGS OR SOMETHING YOU NEEDED HELP WITH THAT I CANNOT REMEMBER FOR THE LIFE OF ME WHAT IT SPECIFICALLY IS LIKE 3000 DOLLARS? Yeah go support them in what they do and help them go on that trip because honestly, fox deserves it so much. Ily fam) @shards-of-wanderlust (oh oh oh I saved the best for last. Thank you so much for helping me through this process and being the one to volunteer to help me with the adoption center, you are an awesome help, I will always have a special place for You. I’m so glad you approached me on that day when i reblogged all the shit on your blog and you were like ‘wow human interaction. This means frien’. But Yeah, you are a HUGE part of my life and I love you so much.) @witchy-black-cat (I’m not as sad now so fuck you. Just kidding, you’re amazing and i love you. I feel bad just leaving you (and cat) to the blog because abandonment. I’m here if you ever need help and I want to thank you for being there for me and basically carrying my lazy ass around and convincing me that its ok to put myself before others and I shouldn’t care about other people. You are probably the person that I aspire to be, because what I get from you is so strong and care-free, that i know I can’t ever be that person. I love you!) -There are so many more people i want to mention but this post has already taken me too long. I love you all and wish for you the best.
Hey! Don’t be that sad, I’ll still be available on the discord chat as the creator of it and you can DM me on discord if you ever need to chat: Https://discord.gg/4ucttWC
And lastly, please open this song and listen to it as my last dying wish and gift to you. Don’t exit out if you think I’m joking because I’m just that awesome (listen to it ALL). https://youtu.be/dQw4w9WgXcQ
Ok anyways, goodbye everyone! I hope you all achieve your goals and what not because I love you. As always, good luck and I’ll see you later!

Witchy Tips and Tricks I’ve Learned Throughout The Years...
Meditating during long car journeys helps clear your mind, pass the time and totally counts as practicing.
If you like plants, collect plants. If you like crystals, collect crystals. Collect things that makes your soul sing!
Charity shops are brilliant. You can always find something you need in there.
Salt, salt, salt. I love it and you should at least consider having it in your witchy cabinet as it is brilliant for protection.
You don’t need all the tools the books say you need unless you feel they’ll help.
Stock up on as many black candles as you can during the Halloween season or wait until they’re on the discount aisle.
Love is a powerful tool, don’t abuse it. The love you have for someone or something can help make any spell stronger.
Wicca is the religion, Witchcraft is the practice. You don’t have to be Wiccan to practice Witchcraft, You don’t have to practice Witchcraft if you’re Wiccan.
If you’re having difficulty with magic and witchcraft, Labradorite can help significantly.
Be careful around incense and smoke if your an asthmatic witch! Goodness knows how many time my lungs have almost quit on me during cleansing. You don’t have to use it.
Stir a bit of cinnamon into your morning tea to help bring good fortune throughout the day.
Respect all living things, including plants and insects.
If you’re having trouble visualising your magic and will, try taking inspiration from fantasy media, such as Skyrim or Harry Potter, and visualise the magic from those.
If you relate a song to a spell or ritual, put it on and sing along to it!
A small rose quartz under your pillow will help ease nightmares.
Sometimes a digital grimoire is better and easier to write than a physical one.
If your life is getting difficult to manage, take a break from witchcraft if it helps.
Craft stores are a great place for mini bottles and jars.
You don’t need to be part of a coven to be a valid witch.
Anyone of any gender can be a witch.
Don’t rely solely on a healing spell or potion to help with an illness, visit your doctor too.
Share your knowledge to people who are willing to learn.

The Problem With Having Small Pets as a Witch
The problem with having small pets (rodents, birds, reptiles, amphibians, etc.) as a witch means you can’t burn anything that puts off smoke because their tiny lungs are so small that the amount of smoke we can breath and still be fine is 10000000000× less fine to them. Wanna burn some sage to get rid of that negativity clog in your room? NOPE. Need to burn some herbs or some shit? WRONG. Wanna burn some incense to help with a spell or just make your room smell nice? WRONG AGAIN. Granted, you could have your incense like 2 inches away from your open window and that should be fine but I mean DIFFICULT. You love your animals but you’ve also gotta get rid of that nasty ass energy and it isn’t going away with salt water so I mean what do you do? WELL HAVE I GOT A SOLUTION FOR YOU FRIEND.
0: lmao don’t burn shit on a regular basis. At most, once every other week.. 1: Open all Windows. Open. Them. All. 1.5: If its incense, just put it as close to the window as possible as you can (and I mean fucking close) and disregard the rest. 2: Get a fan ready because boy oh boy you’re gonna need it. 3: Cover all of the tanks/cages/what have you, with towels. Don’t leave an inch open buddy. (No, this isnt going to suffocate them, towels are just acting as a filter to get all that nasty shit out) 4: Burn yo shit AS FAST AS YOU CAN no longer than 7 minutes because the smoke will murder your babies. 5: Put it out and IMMEDIATELY TURN THAT FAN ON, AIMED OUT A FUCKING WINDOW. 6: Run the fan for 10-30 minutes 7: Take off the towels AND ENJOY YOUR ALIVE CHILDREN
You are welcome.
i never even thought about this being an issue. I have cats so a little smoke isn’t harmful, but this is a good saftey reminder!
Honestly? I really wouldn’t risk it if you have a pet bird. Their respiratory systems are SUPER sensitive. I used to burn incense and light candles all the time before I got my canary, so I get that it kinda sucks, but not as much as losing your baby would be. If you’re able to move the cage into a different room, that would probably be best, but don’t put them back in until the smoke and fragrances are 100% gone. Other small animals should be fine using this method, though, as long as you’re careful.

MIRROR SCRYING FOR PAST LIVES
make sure you won’t be disturbed
turn off all electronics that might produce light in your room
light a candle and place it at one side of the mirror
the candle light should hit only one side of your face
get into a relaxed position as you would when you’re about to enter a trance
empty your head
focus on one part of your face, the eyes seem to do the trick best
chant “oracle of lunar light send me the second sight, show me a past life”
I have energy blockages and it feels heavy, but I don't know exactly where they are or how to get rid of them :/
Well actually I have this method of getting rid of blockages that was recommended to me that is awesome to use! Start off by meditating, it's best if you can lay down but you can sit if you prefer. Imagine yourself as a river or a stream. The energy blockages can be either a rock or seaweed. If you choose seaweed, imagine the water flowing over the clump and eventually breaking it free and moving it away. If you use the rock, imagine that the water slowly starts eroding it away into nothingness. I hope this helps and good luck!
A Witch’s Journal
Although I do have a grimoire, I use a journal to track my day-to-day practices that I do not usually include in my grimoire. A witch’s journal is a great place to record your feelings and discover any repeating symbols that you may not have noticed if you hadn’t written them down. It is a great way to look through and see how much your craft has grown.
Things you could include:
Dreams and visions with any interpretations you have
Day-to-day magickal practice
Symbols that may seem important
Astral protection experiences
Meditation journeys
A list of books you read and any important magickal teachings you learned from them
Progress of any castings or “spell tracking”
Magick Workings
Events and decisions in your life that affect your magickal workings
Magickal goals and plans
Maintenance and home cleaning/cleansing
Daily rituals or habits
Astrological events and any symbols or visions you may have received that are connect to the event
Things to include in each entry:
The moon phases
Weather
Date
Emotion
Position of the moon in the zodiac
Season
Time
Another short post but I hope it may inspire some people.
May the moon light your path
Moonlight Academy
Witchy selfies + AHS (He/him)
Yasssss! You strut your stuff @sigil-seer
Spell and charm bag for safe travels! (Requested)
Feel free to preform this spell whenever you need to ensure a safe journey.
*Optional
You will need:
(spell only):
2 orange candles*preferably small, you will let these burn all the way down*
*Amethyst and/or clear quartz
Sage and/or mint
Your favorite incense
(charm bag/satchel):
An orange pouch or drawstring bag
2 orange candles *preferably small, you will let these burn all the way down*
Amethyst and/or clear quartz
Sage and/or mint
Piece of paper and a pen (black)
Your favorite incense
Light your two candles and put them infront of you along with your incense, feel free to roll your candles in oil and then the herbs (optional). Take in several deep cleansing breathes until you’re grounded. Sit with your legs crossed and sit up straight with your hands resting on your knees and your palms facing up.
If you are making the charm bag, draw on a small piece of paper a symbol of protection (this is your choice, can be a cross, pentacle, a protection rune, etc. anything that makes you feel safe!) fold the paper three times. Collect the items and place the stones, sage/mint and the protective symbol into the bag and seal it.
Visualize a white light slowly being absorbed into you and spreading throughout your body. Continue breathing deeply as you picture yourself getting to your destination safely and without harm. When you feel ready raise your arms up and repeat:
“Bless our journey and keep us from harm With light of protection and amethyst charm Our path be straight and free from strife Many more adventures left upon my life”
If you are only doing the spell, sit quietly for a few minutes and rub the stones in your hands as you watch the candles burn all the way down. **PLEASE DO NOT LEAVE LIT CANDLES UNATTENDED**
Charging your charm bag:
Take your bag and pass it over the incense smoke or the candle (carefully!) to rid it of any unwanted energies. When you are ready, hold the charm bag and visualize the energy that you did earlier but will it to course through you and into the bag. When you are done place the bag inbetween the two candles and let the light from them surround the bag. Let the candles burn all the way down and then go about your day (:
Hope this helped,

Spirit Discord Chat
So apparently a lot of people liked the idea of a discord chat to talk about spirit stuff and just talk. So here you guys go: https://discord.gg/4ucttWC
If you are experienced in working with spirits or something else and you are able to answer questions and such from other people, please message me on Tumblr @witchtarts, (if youre interested) I’ve made a special discord role for people to easier identify/get help and it would be awesome for you to help out. We also have an Intern spot for people looking to help out managing the server to be put in a rank in the future. Also no, you dont have to connect to voice chat if you don’t want to.
Don’t be afraid to join my doods!
Hate =/= amusement. As someone who frequents TIA, I find Otherkin posts fun/amusing, and a nice break from social justicy topics. The thing is, you'll find people who find it... well, bad, for humans, society, etc. Kind of like when it comes to Transtrenders; and it harms people, in part children, and in part actual transgendered people. And people care. The same reason people care if someone tries to commit suicide; or self-harm, etc, and if they perceive it as 'bad', well... it is what it is.
First of all, as a trans woman, it’s transgender people, not “transgenders”. I am not a transgender, I am a person, who is trans. Transgender is an adjective, not a noun.If you’re going to invoke trans people to make your point, do it in a way that isn’t offensive to trans people please.I agree that cis people pretending to be trans is damaging, but people exploring their gender identity and the social constructs of gender as a whole in a relatively consequence free setting is not. So be clear about what you mean.
And stop invoking trans people to attack otherkin. Especially when talking to someone who is both. Please and thank you. Being otherkin has nothing to do with gender or transgender people, and has no effect on trans people in any way.Moving on.I’m glad ridiculing my religious beliefs is amusing and a “nice break” for you. But had you considered maybe, not?I don’t really see how my religious beliefs could possibly be interpreted as hurting anyone, especially children. Unless you consider showing children that there are multiple belief systems and ways of being in the world, and that it’s okay to think outside the normal social constraints and be true to one’s self, to be a form of harm. In which case, good for you. I’ll be sure to keep any children in my care well away from you.Also let’s not make the appeal to emotion of referencing self harm and suicide to justify attacks on otherkin. It’s offensive and tasteless. Not just to kin, but to people who have been suicidal, engaged in self harm, or lost someone to suicide. Shame on you.Name one person who has ever been harmed by the existence of otherkin as an ideology.And don’t insult us with that paper thin “some people think…” defense. At least own your own position instead of attributing it to an imaginary third party. Have a nice day.
I’m impressed by how you were able to understand the ask and reply to it in a coherent manner. Maybe it’s because I dissociated a lot today and am suffering the aftermath of it, but I couldn’t make sense out of that post. At all.
