Witches be like:

plants good! live plant? good! a baby! must care for! dead plant? useful! important! candles? great! warm! rocks? smooth! shiny! random feather or leaf I found while walking? amazing! a gift!

And honestly? This is my fav mindset

[thestrawberrynight]

autumn things

wearing big sweaters and kneesocks

eating a lot of autumn fruits and vegetables

walking alone in the park and admiring the trees

buying new cute rain boots and raincoat

picking up leaves and making herbarium

wearing long black or brown coat and scarf

preparing pumpkin pie and chocolate cookies

laying under the blanket while it's raining outside

rereading stories of O.Henry

decorating your room with fairylights

looking for your Halloween outfit

drinking cocoa with marshmallow

celebrating the autumn solstice

enjoying the last rays of autumn sun

With halloween coming up, and with everyone decorating their blogs- please be wary that many depictions of witches are antisemitic. The evil, green, long nosed, potion-brewing women with curly hair? yeah literally dont. 

the history of witch hysteria has close ties to antisemitism (as well as the persecution of other minorities, but antisemitism was a big one) 

the reason witches are green is because of the wizard of oz i believe, but personally, its too close to home with the “lizard people” trope, and spurs the idea of being disconnected from human. if other jews wanna weigh in on that, please do! it could just be me.

if you want to put witches on your blog, i dont care, but if they have a comically-large nose and curly hair? please take the time to think first.

goyim please reblog but i swear to god if anyone adds anything about oppression of modern witches i will make goyim soup.

[mtvmakesmewannasmokecrack]

i would like to add- a lot of monster-y characters can be anti-semitic caricatures as well. let’s not forget about goblins, the big nosed, green-skinned, gold hoarding goblins. with the rise of goblincore, this has been forgotten, but it’s important to not only refuse to like goyim let goblins off the hook, but watch out for those traits in other demonized portrayals, such as:

big, hooked noses

dark curly hair

green skin

generally hairy

portrayed as greedy/wealthy

anti-semitism never died. if you’re not jewish, the least you could do for us is keep an eye out. op is right, remember- we have been around forever, but so has anti-semitism.

i love that half of these are just the plant going “please for the love of god stop watering me I’m a fucking cactus”

Reblog if you could use a little good luck to start your fall - this spell is for you: a white candle for purification, some dried orange peel and senna leaf for luck and magic, and the cutest little acorn I could find :)

Reblogging complete post so that it is not truncated and lost :3

Signal boost. This is vital information, folks.

[witcheywanderings-deactivated20]

Also turquoise is water soluble

[grin-the-farouche]

selenite is also water soluble, and feldspars like labradorite and rainbow moonstone can lose their luster if left submerged.

[notyourmothersspellbook]

This is lengthy, but if you plan on bathing with crystals, charging them in water, putting them in drinking water, or getting them wet in any way you have to do your research to make sure that they won’t dissolve, harm your skin, or literally poison you. Be smart and do the reading!

[normal-horoscopes]

The Signs and Gardens:

Aries: The wandering wood. A migration with the seasons, leaving churned earth and broken rocks behind.

Taurus: First of the old Whistling Stones. A natural arch between two mountains, a low wandering melody with the spring winds.

Gemini: The town square in the quarantine district. A marble fountain overgrown with  creepers. Roots of trees pushing the pavestones apart like impacted teeth.

Cancer: Grazing fields under a new moon. The hulking thing on its hands and feet that jumps the fence at night, fistfulls of grain that it feeds to the cattle.

Leo: An abandoned isolated fortress and a broken bridge. An alchemist greenhouse teeming with unexplored things.

Virgo: A clearing. Logging equipment strewn about as if abandoned in a hurry.

Libra: Valley of the dead. The strange plants that grow around the spring. Waters deep and black, solid as the gentle night.

Scorpio: A resting great-stag. Antlers covered with blooming moss, only visible by the light of fireflies. 

Ophiuchus: The remains of a little cottage. A garden of medicinal plants carried by the wind and wildlife that now takes up an entire field.

Sagittarius: The valley delta. The place where the flood plains hit the tide pools. Low sandy pits teaming with alien life. The slow dance between salt and fresh waters. 

Capricorn: The sealed mountain barrow. Strange anemic vegetation sinking roots into mummified flesh that still wanders the chambers. 

Aquarius: Salt flats. Dried remains of extinct grasses pressed and preserved under the baking white sand, headstones to the lakebed this place used to be.

Pisces: The tangle of brambles growing above the drain to the cistern. Bits of cloth and trash obscuring the thing that made its nest at the center.
