Witchy stuff

I cannot, with words, accurately describe just how badly I want to have a bonfire with other pagans. It doesn't even have to be other Helpols specifically, we can use the fire to offer to our respective gods, we can say our own prayers and praise

I'd burn offerings for the Hellenic gods, my friend could burn offerings to the Kemetic gods, other Pagans could use the fire for their old gods, etc.

We could play music and drink and toast to our gods and just have community where we all exist together in peace

We can sit around the fire and talk about our gods and share their myths

"And then Zeus turned himself into an eagle-"

"Oh that reminds me of the story where Loki turned into a falcon to rescue Iðunn"

"Our gods commonly have animal heads, but there is one story where Isis turned into a falcon-"

Guys, please do not go into debt over occult shit.

Maybe it's time you got really into folk magic.

Or just bootleg those rare, out of print books (it's fun!).

There's also a lot of value in just talking to lots of practitioners from various backgrounds.

Buying a bunch of expensive shit is not going to make you suddenly level up.

You are being brainwashed

The fact that many people get triggered by the simple idea of putting in effort says a lot about how social media has conditioned us to expect instant results without real work.

Think about it when pagan witches perform spells, they leave offerings to their deities. When Christians, Hindus, Muslims, and Sikhs pray, they offer gratitude, food, money, or time. These offerings aren’t just rituals; they are acts of appreciation, an exchange of energy.

Even if the Universe or a higher power doesn’t need offerings, the act of giving is a way to align with the energy of receiving.

Yet, in modern manifestation culture, people have been misled into believing they can ask and receive without giving anything in return no self-work, no shadow work, no deep reflection. This is where the brainwashing happens.

Even if you manage to manifest what you want without deep self-reflection, it won’t last long. Why? Because you haven’t built the foundation to sustain it.

The true offering in manifestation isn’t candles, crystals, or rituals it’s your self-work. Your willingness to reflect, heal, and grow is what aligns you with lasting abundance. The Universe isn’t transactional, but it does respond to effort, awareness, and alignment.

Grimoire ideas that aren't research

While my grimoire is dedicated to research and documentation and I love that for it, I totally get how a load of writing isn't for every practitioner. I didn't want to leave you guys out so here are some grimoire ideas that aren't related to research.

_________________

Pen test/paint test page

make a spell page or prayer page in the style of collage/black out poetry

make a zine of the holidays/your preferred tools/deities/spirits ect.

make collage of your deities/spirits or local wildlife

tape grid/dump

sticker dump

sigil dump

If you're handy with a needle and thread, turn those sigils into patches for your clothes

Tape in an envelope to store excess thread or make a page of thread colour correspondences

if you enjoy cooking, make a list of flavour combos and their magical properties including dish uses, colour schemes, aromas, general vibes ect.

Rip off the labels of your candles, herbs and spices and stick them in your grimoire for future reference

design your own insignia (you don't have to be in a coven)

stick in pictures of local haunted attractions/spiritual places and (optionally) write about them

i’m not posting the actual tiktok because it involves another patient being recorded without their knowledge and clearly not doing okay but y’all we were so close to mental illness being destigmatized. we were so close but now the general public sees mental illness as two separate groups - the quirky relatable depression and anxiety, and the weird cringy scary schizo-spectrum disorders, ocd, personality disorders, and so on. #mentalhealthmatters as long as it’s not one of those weird scary illnesses

[casualwitchbitch]

Things crystals can do: be an object of focus for a meditation, visualisation or ritual ~ be a visual reminder of your goals/intentions ~ have meaning SPECIFIC TO YOU that strengthens over time and with repeated use ~ be a psychological ‘anchor’ ~ look pretty ~ hurt worse than Lego when stepped on

Things crystals cannot do: heal illness ~ stand in for medical treatments or vaccinations ~ purify water ~ heal dogs or children ~ deflect bad vibes ~ have inherent magickal powers ~ replace therapy or psych meds

Witchcraft is about discernment, not believing in everything. Wisdom is a balance of intuition, learning, experience and critical thinking.

Is this real? Should I believe that fox news hired a tarot reader? ???

[merry-death]

Yes, it's real. Here's the video on the Fox News website:

What's in store for 2024? Psychic joins Jesse for tarot card readings | Fox News Video

Psychic Paula Roberts sits down with ‘Jesse Watters Primetime’ to read what’s in store for America in 2024.

[headspace-hotel]

Wow. Not what I would expect from fox news. But it is very funny.

Social Security includes the number for a suicide hotline on the envelope they use to tell me they have decided to deny my disability

There’s a depressing ass poem hiding in here, but im too tired to put it together.

[breelandwalker]

I always have to laugh whenever somebody's like, "Lol witches aren't real." I mean, Wicca has been a legally-recognized religion for more than fifty years now and you can find books on witchcraft in pretty much any chain bookstore anymore.

Exactly how big of a rock do you have to be living under to think that witchcraft is still consigned to the realm of fantasy?

If witchcraft isn't real, the fuck have I been paying taxes on for the past five years? -stares at three published titles on modern witchcraft- Cause it sure ain't fantasy novels.

[hands0fgold]

dear fellow practicioners, when you do some sort of baneful magic where you burn the spell ingredients and if it's just some ashes you can just fucking flush that fucker down the toilet. for extra satisfaction of "that's where you belong, you piece of shit." it's absolutely exhilirating.

[witchy-fangirl-magic]

hey, um, please check with your local plumbers/water treatment plant workers, because ashes can be REALLY bad for plumbing by causing clogs (and depending on the amount and level of heat, combust), and depending on what was burned, can contaminate the water.

if you do check, and it turns out that it really isn't advisable for your area, may I suggest an alternative? dump the ashes on concrete or mud or the ground and grind them in with your foot. maybe spit on for good measure and extra disrespect/negativity. idk, just tried to think of an alternative that might give the same feeling while still keeping others (and your plumbing!) safe.
