I am celebrating a few things this month: Reaching 5,500 followers (Hi! Thank you!!), as well as upgrading the packaging of my Telluric Runes oracle deck, now encased in a colourful, custom-printed box with lid (along with a redesigned, more portable companion book)

Why ‘Gold Standard’ you say? Because I’m cheesy and it’s in my name. Furthermore, the winner will get the extremely limited edition (i.e. the only one currently in existence) GILDED-EDGED TELLURIC RUNES DECK :･ﾟ☆✧

It’s shiny.. like the rocks ಥ﹏ಥ ･ﾟ✧

GIVEAWAY RULES:

- Open to anyone anywhere, I don’t judge (except giveaway blogs… not judging you either but yeah sorry) - You don’t have to follow me. I’m an acquired taste - ONE REBLOG = ONE ENTRY (no limit but please don’t spam your people too much I don’t want them to hate my guts)

- Likes are nice but not an entry.

- ENDS Monday May 27th at midnight (Eastern time)

PRIZE:

One Telluric Runes oracle deck with golden edging (not real gold, I hope we’re clear on that) and companion book.

The runes cards:

PURCHASE INFO: The regular (not-gilded) deck in its new box is available for preorder in my Etsy store (address in my bio/about); I am receiving all the stock this week so it’s not a long wait.

While I’m at it, just a heads-up that I have begun creating the TELLURIC TAROT, in the same vein and theme as the Telluric Runes:

I use the physical properties and symbolic meaning of a mineral and plant to channel the message of each arcana. Design and release of the deck is still a couple of months ahead; I try to post a new arcana artwork here roughly every two days.

THANK YOU and GOOD LUCK *:・ﾟ✧

Wheel of the year

I might end up re-re-doing this one because you can’t really see the words written with the images underneath but otherwise I’m happy with how it turned out, especially because I kept having to put it off and it’s taken three days to get around to finishing it

I realize this is a cast iron gate but I’m choosing to believe it’s a magic protection ritual

spellboundwitchcraft

Considering that iron is traditionally thought to protect against fairies, witches, ghosts, and most other supernatural entities…that’s not very far off, tbh

mega witch tip

stop asking your tarot decks for answers. ask them for advice instead.

tarot decks can only give you a possible outcome. one way the situation can turn out. some things are set in stone, and some aren’t. the tarot can’t tell you which is which, but it can advise you on how to move forward either way.

Common Desk Supplies in Witchcraft

📎 Paper clips - Paper clips are made of steel, which is mostly iron, so it can be used as a substitute for iron or iron shavings. Cut one up and put it in a protection powder. Or, you can bend it into a shape (like a sigil) for a simple window protection spell. Paper clips are known for their elasticity and tension, making them great for change spells, friendship spells, or even curses. They can also connect certain things, or make chains. On a practical note, paper clips can be bent into mini candle holders.

💌 Tape - Tape can obviously be used for bindings. It can also be used for invisibility spells or glamors, if you cover a certain word or object with tape. Using tape on a poppet may help protection or healing, but only for a little while.

✏️ Pencils/Pens - These uses change based on color. However, all of them can be used as wands, or to amplify a spell. You may bless or enhance a pen by washing it with a soap or tea, or cleansing it in incense smoke.

📑 Staples - Also made of steel, staples can be used for wards and bindings. Any spell involving pain can include staples. When you staple, you instill pain; when you remove a staple, you heal. They can also connect certain things, and are good for knowledge or love spells.

📌 Thumbtacks - These are great for protection jars, banishing spirits and, of course, curses. To see through certain situations, you may use a thumbtack to poke through a paper or bag, representing clarity. However, be aware that clarity obtained this way may not come pleasantly.

📝 Sticky notes - Sticky notes have more flexibility than regular paper, in that you can attach them. Use sticky notes for sigils on the go, or stick several sheets of sticky notes together in order to represent layers. If you would like to expand your knowledge, reveal a secret, or even divine, you can write on the top sticky note with a colored pen that matches the intent. Then place a drop of essential oil or moon water on the top note, and see what shapes it forms in the bottom notes.

✒️ Highlighters - Highlighters can be used similarly to pens. They also add extra light and glow to a design, which amplifies a spell’s power.

🔗 Rubber bands - You’ve probably used rubber bands before to wrap up baggies and such. In magic, they can represent tension, flexibility, binding, or releasing emotions. Stretch a rubber band between two poppets (or other symbols of people, like apples) to represent tension between two persons. In the same way, you can also use rubber bands for love, passion and lust spells.

✉️ Envelopes - Envelopes represent anything that encompasses, compresses, or confuses a person. Open envelops or write inside of them for inner clarity. Seal the envelope for anything you want to forget, trap, or hide. You can also use envelopes to hold herbs as a discreet form of witchcraft.

❌ Erasers - Obviously, erasers can help banish or hide things. They also work for invisibility spells, and release a ton of energy through friction. You may want to consider writing a sigil on an eraser, and then erasing it until the sigil wears off.

✂️ Scissors - Scissors can act as a magical knife for those who do not yet have one. Scissors can disconnect and cut off regrets, guilt, persons or memories. Scissors can also be used to carve into candles.

📏 Rulers - If you’re into number magic, a ruler is the tool for you. Imagine drawing a symbol in the exact dimensions of a number that corresponds to your intent!

Reblog/like this if you’re a witch over 20.

I love younger witches and am happy to help, but I’m looking to find some older friends. 🌑🌕

Witch on a budget.

With all my expenses; rent, electricity, kitten food (latest addition); I need to start thinking of ways to fulfill my witchy needs without breaking the bank.

I honestly sound like a salesperson, but here is a list of the niftiest tips I have found on tumblr and the web :

Baby Powder - Beauty, innocence, youth and fertility.

Monopoly Money - Wealth and prosperity.

Googly Eyes - Divination and finding lost things.

Needle and thread - Binding, poppet magic and sewing sigils into clothing items.

Baking Soda - cleansing, protection and can basically the same properties and uses salt has. (Not representing Earth and salt is still the most powerful, but this works in an unlikely emergency.)

Tea bags - Can basically be used for anything since you get all those fancy tea’s that you can use for their correspondences.

Soap - cleansing (obviously), curse removal, healing and different scents to match the correspondences.

Butter - all kitchen witchcraft, nurturing, protective and to attract wealth.

Chocolate - love, happiness, friendship, romance and intimacy. Milk chocolate being more innocent and dark chocolate being more sexual. Consumed to increase power.

Banana - safe travels when travelling long distance and improving sexual stamina.

Pasta - protection, financial creativity and improving communications.

Cotton - harvest, good luck, cleansing, beauty, protection and rain.

Duct tape - binding and banishing.

Crayons - colour magic, sigils and creativity.

Bath salts - cleansing, pain/stress relief, peace, love, purification and different scents for their correspondences.

Makeup/Toiletries - protection, glamour magic, confidence and beauty.

Eggs/egg shells - fertility, represents the Goddess, warding, protection and kitchen witchcraft staple.

Envelopes - communication, assists when doing magic for someone else and protection when travelling long distance.

Tin foil - protection, binding and reflection.

Pennies - luck, wealth and prosperity.

Toothpaste - cleansing, replacement for mint and preventing gossip.

Glue - binding, cursing, sealing and prevention of loss.

Chili powder - lust, revenge magic, hexes, bad luck and curses.

Toothpicks - poppet magic, cursing, pain and revenge.

Bells - warding, protection and cleansing.

All of these can be used in so many ways, in potions or directly with intent. Just be super creative and find what works for you.

What to do when you fell out with your practice

Because I sure as hell needed this post when I did.

1. Realize that it‘s okay. Accept that it happened. Forgive yourself for it.

Maybe life got in the way and you just didn‘t have the time or energy or possibility. Maybe something happened on your path that got you scared, frightened, panicked, or even disgusted so that you had to take a step back and retreat. Maybe your focus simply shifted. Maybe you got bored. Maybe everything just got overwhelming and you weren‘t able to juggle magick and the mundane at the same time. Maybe mental illness got in the way. No matter what the reason for your fall out was, accept that it happened, forgive yourself for it. Because it‘s okay, life happens in phases, and no matter the reason, how big or how small, it‘s part of your journey and totally fine. These things happen to the best of us, so don‘t blame yourself for it. It really is okay. Pinky promise.

2. Reconnect with your god(s) and/or non-physical friends, if needed.

If you‘re a spirit companion/have spirit friends like me or are devoted to a god or certain deity/ies, your time with them/devotion to them probably fell under the brick as well. If it did, reconnect. I promise chances are they‘ll understand. As I said, life happens, and they know that too. They probably saw what you were going through. Explain what happened to them, apologize, and move on, if they allow it. Just spend more time with them again, greet them good morning and wish them good night again, invite them to join you throughout your day again. I promise, any good relationship will hold, just show that you really are sorry and put in effort to show that you care again. I’m sure they missed you as well so it’s time to make up for the time you lost!

3. Don’t overwhelm and overestimate yourself.

Chances are the longer your fall-out was, the more your “psychic muscles” lost in strength. Your intuition may be a bit more out-of-tune, you may have more trouble hearing/seeing/feeling/sensing spirits and energies. Maybe you have more trouble programing things or adding energy to objects than before. That’s okay! It’s totally fine and normal, just don’t be surprised if it happens and know that with practice you’ll be back to old strength in no time! Until then, start small and work with what you have.

4. Start small, don’t rush it, one step at a time.

Start drawing a daily or weekly card again. Start carrying crystals with you again. Start laying them out under the moon to charge again. Do small rituals like maybe doing some bath magic before you rush head-first into a huge complicated thing again! Again, you don’t want to overwhelm yourself. Also, you want to build a routine again to not risk falling out again. Some ideas on what to do when building your practice up again:

lay crystals, items, water, anything out under the moon/sun to charge

talk to plants

draw a daily/weekly card

pick a crystal to carry with you throughout the day in the morning

say mantras in the morning

infuse your tea/coffee with intent

send out your energetic sensers when comfortable and at home. slowly but surely

meditate. 5 minutes in the evening, 5 minutes in the morning. at least.

go for a daily walk at a certain time

look through your grimoire/bos if you have one. write in it again

doodle little sigils in your free time

and many, many more

5. If needed, make a schedule.

As I said, you may want to build a routine. If those work for you, make a daily or weekly plan. Look up transits and check when you have time, then create your own magical schedule. If need be, set some reminders on your phone. Just try to be disciplined about it for a while so that you get back into your practice smoothly!

6. Reinvent your craft.

You probably changed since you last practiced, or maybe there was a reason IN your practice that caused the fall-out. If so, identify what it was. Reflect on yourself, your practice, your life. How can you make everything run together more smoothly? Maybe you want to focus more on the mundane than the spiritual, and if so that’s totally fine. Adapt your practice in a way that fits and feels good, it’s all yours so feel free to do whatever you want! Maybe you want to shift the focus IN your practice, or maybe you want to stop doing something, maybe start doing something else (instead).

(Optional) 7. Talk to others.

Sometimes it is so, so hard to not feel incredibly bad and like you fucked yourself or your life or your relationships up when this happens (and not just in relation to magic but other things as well). Please know that you’re not alone on this and if your own up-lifting thoughts and words are not enough, seek validation outside. I promise that’s not a selfish or vain thing to do, it’s natural and human and you deserve to be told that you’re doing just fine. Go to a trusted friend, family member, maybe blogger, anyone. If you want, you can always come to me. Talk to someone about how things are going now, talk to them about the things you just did to make yourself feel good about doing this.

💗 No matter what, it’s all good. I promise. These things just happen and there is no reason to blame yourself - please take good care of yourself and know that you come first - magic and everything else second. I hope this was useful to some, I know it helped me as I’m just getting out of a fall-out, too. I hope you all have a magical day~! 💗

I saw this and thought this was super useful! It is one of the biggest reasons I started this blog!

Can we please get a movie about a witch…

…but like, they aren’t evil or weird? Like their friends go to them to get a tarot reading on how their midterms will go. They’re always asking their friends if they can run to the store to grab some herbs. They’re always forgetting to blow out the candles on their altar and their parents keep warning them about fire safety.

Just an everyday witch. None of “the weird girl” or “my friends can never find out”. I WANT SOME REPRESENTATION!
