If someone is giving their free service to you then be PATIENT and stop demanding things as if itâs your right
Acts of devotion to Hestia
Clean your houseÂ
Sit in a comfy chair and read your favourite book
Drink some tea at home and relax
Knit or crochet a blanket
Make your bed
Put a seasonal wreath on your front door or a welcome mat
Light a candle or the fireplace

Tell your family you love them
A few beautiful Greek words that should certainly be used more than they are:
θĎĎ ÎąÎťÎťÎŻÎ´Îą (thryallida): the cause of a (usually disastrous) event
Î˛ÎąÎ˛Ď ÎťĎνίι (babylonia); the situation where too many people talk over each other loudly, which results in confusion
δΚιĎĎĎĎÎšÎżĎ (diaprysios): a person who declares something fervently, passionately
ιΟξĎĎÎżÎĎξΚι (ametroepya): the lack of moderation in words
Things I Wish I Had Known When I Started Practicing
Chakras are part of closed practices. Find a different theory on energy centres and how they work. I have my own here but there are many more that exist.
Do your research. Question everything. Donât follow Tumblr posts blindly. Do your research, make sure that research is credible. Some authors out there are shitty (Edred Thorsson for example). Some Etsy shop owners appropriate. Do your research.
Support minority businesses! Support local businesses!
The best basic herbs to have on hand are: sage, rosemary, cinnamon, thyme, lavender, sea salt.Â
For the love of the gods, please ward. The first time you ward, you will most likely sleep upwards of 10+ hours because it is draining as hell but WARD. Wards will keep you safe from entities that seek to harm you.
ALWAYS have a good banishing spell and a good return to sender spell on hand if you need it. Here is Part 1 of a good masterpost on protections and warding.
Always be a skeptic. Donât just believe things blindly. Is a god telling you theyâre an actual god? Question them. Do your research on that god. Always question.
DO NOT INGEST ESSENTIAL OILS. Theyâre meant to be applied topically with a carrier oil. Donât ingest them.
Some herbs will interact with your medication if youâre on them. If youâre on medication and want to try herbal remedies, talk to your doctor to make sure that your herbal remedy wonât negatively interact with your medication.
Tarot cards donât need to be gifted or stolen in order to work. Thatâs a myth. However, if you feel like youâd like your tarot decks to be gifted to you, do that. Whatever youâre comfortable with.
Your first tarot deck doesnât have to be explicitly Raider Waite Smith. My first deck was a variation on the traditional RWS style and it allowed me to read tarot more intuitively.
Thereâs no shame in using a tarot guidebook. Thereâs 78 cards thatâs a LOT to memorize. I havenât memorized them all and Iâve been reading tarot for two years now. Take your time and donât be embarrassed to read tarot from a guidebook. I do paid tarot readings and still use my guidebooks.
If youâre worried about wasting food as an offering, itâs okay to eat them. I do it. Many others do it. If youâre still wary about eating the food, if you have plant friends, you can just bury the offerings (especially relevant for chthonic worshippers).
The Theoi website is one of the best for information on Hellenism. Every thing written on that website is cited back to an Ancient Greek text, or even several.
PLEASE PRACTICE FIRE SAFETY. If youâre burning an object in a metal bowl, donât touch the bowl afterwards. You may burn yourself. Have something to put out a fire on hand should something happen. Donât burn hair. Crack a window so you donât inhale smoke. Be safe with fire.
Personalize your spells! If you find a spell on tumblr that you wanna try but donât have an ingredient, go with your instinct and research what it could be replaced with! Tumblr spells are guidelines and you can modify that shit to your heartâs content.
Not that I have very many followers, but you can ingest essential oils, you just have to make sure they are the right grade. Most oils will specify if they are aromatic, topical, ingestible, or all 3 đ
NO. STOP SPREADING MISINFORMATION!!!!! Pyramid schemes like Doterra and Young Living WANT YOU TO BELIEVE THAT YOU CAN INGEST EOS BUT YOU CANT!!!! It will POISON you! Ffs
Please donât fucking ingest oils.Â
âźď¸DO NOT INGEST ESSENTIAL OILSâźď¸
Honestly just donât do it. Thereâs is a HUGE different between essential oils and cooking oils do your research!
Everything OP stated is totes valid though.

This whole âtrust Tumblr blindlyâ thing is eventually going to kill someone, as I became pointedly aware of on one occasion I was making fun of how poorly a particular bleach-based drain declogger was working on my sink and got a chorus of really dangerously misinformed people telling me to pour vinegar in after it because all cute little cool kid diy home care blogs theyâre following talk about vinegar like it itâs the big secret the cleaning companies donât want you to know.
And I cringed knowing that someday, some Well Actually expert who read a blog article once is going to give that advice to someone who unfortunately didnât take high school chemistry and isnât aware that MIXING VINEGAR AND BLEACH MAKES CHLORINE GAS.
holy fucking jesus tits reblog to save a life
OK I actually got a full on A* for GCSE Chemistry and if I ever knew this Iâve forgotten it. Seriously reblog this.
Also donât use bleach to clean up if your cat pees outside the littlerbox (or urine in general for that matter, species doesnât really matter here I think). I did that in a small space and it took me a bit of coughing and wheezing and wanting to tear my eyes out before I went, âwait, fuck, I just gassed myselfâ.
Be aware of the chemicals you are using even if they are natural cleaners.
16 Common Product Combinations You Should Never Mix
S I G N A LÂ Â B O O S T
Hi, Iâve been feeling nervous that things wonât be okay, I have been seeing lots of good signs but I am still doubtful. Could I have some advice or confirmation? Z đâĄď¸đđą
The cards say that if youâre always doubtful and worried about negative things, then negative events will begin to manifest!
Be yourself at the moment and don't care about the minor things for right now, your stressing only helps it happen.
Happiness and light to you dear!!
Wow!
I deleted all my asks (because they were like 2 months old oops)
And I switched to instagram, came back and theres like 12 asks now! Thats amazing I am really glad you guys like my readings that much.
Hi, umm. I apologize if this is super vague but Iâm approaching my 20th birthday with not romantic history đ . Is there any romance in my future? If so, is it with anyone close to me or is it with someone I have yet to meet?
Happy 20th!! Make sure to feel no rush to get into a relationship, you have plenty of time lol.
The cards say it is someone in your everyday life, whether you notice them or not. But rushing into things may make this relationship sink before it gets to sail.
Hi can i please have a reading about what my future partner will be like? ALP
All I can say is..
The cards think your future lover will be the opposite of what you are expecting, for better or for worse. They may have differing views, but you will learn a major life lesson from them if the future continues taking this path.
Hello, I just came across your page and saw you do free readings. Was wondering if you could do a love reading for me. Thank you in advance :)
Hello! Big sorry for the delay..
My cards say that searching for answers and reason will get you nowhere.
Living your life freely seems to be how you will find love, but the future can always change.
A List of Witchy Android Apps:
There will probably be overlap with other app posts. Iâm not trying to say Iâm the first to discover these apps or anything of that nature. Iâve included some brief descriptions of why/how regularly I personally use them/how they could be useful and how the app functions.
Amazon Kindle: I have some digital witchcrafty books. Â If you have your own amazon account, it may be an especially good idea for the discreet witch. Digital versions of encyclopedias are also much easier to carry in-pocket this way.
Angel Cards: The free version only has 2 options, âMessage of the Dayâ and a âPast, Present, Futureâ spread. Â The appâs cards are splayed out (face down) for you to scroll through and choose from when you do a spread, and thatâs why I use the app despite its lack of free features.
Angel Tarot: The free version of this app is much more substantial than the previous app mentioned. Â It has a card of the day function as well as 5 spreads built into the app. This appâs divination function also has a user input into the randomization through tapping the touchscreen to shuffle the deck and then choosing the top card with a slide whenever youâre ready. Â It also allowed you to save your spreads/results to review at a later through a âJournalâ function. Â It does not allow you to take notes on the spread, just archives the result itself.
Cards of Courage: This is a free app that doesnât offer the entire deck until purchased. Â There is a Daily Card function, and 1 card, 2 card, and 3 card spread functions. With this app, it chooses a card without any user input (no shuffling/scrolling through cards), but it has not negatively affected its accuracy in my personal experience. Â This app also has four guided meditations I have not tried to use for it does not interest me.
Crystal Oracle: This is a free app that sort of functions as a magic 8 ball. It takes user input to begin âpullingâ an answer. Â The answers vary from the typical yes/no/ask later. Â Iâve had varied success with this app.
Galaxy Tarot: A free app with an upgrade option that adds a journal and additional card associations among several other things. Â This app does not utilize user input for the daily card, but it allows the option for the 6 spreads available.
GardenAnswers: A free app I feel would be very useful for identifying local flora. Â If a photo of a flower is input into the app, it attempts to match it from a database. Â It also has a function to ask a horitculturist for advice identifying a plant or treating a plant issue. Â I have not used this app much, so I canât vouch for or against it.
Golden Thread Tarot: Cards are generated without user input. Â The app has a physical deck that can be used in companion. Â The app offers a journal function that allows the user to input how they feel about the result of the reading when they save it. Â The app has a daily card function, and offers three spreads for various categories (ex. Love, career, general).
Horoscopes: A horoscope app I use mostly for entertainment. Â The app has a sign compatibility function that only has m/f options. Â It also has decent graphics of the constellations which could function as a nice reference.
Inkboard: A simple drawing app I use to create sigils.
Labyrinthos Academy: A fun app that teaches Tarot. Â The user is allowed to pick between a girl, boy, and nonbinary option for their âplayer character.â Â Iâve heard it is very useful for learning the Tarot card meanings, but I have yet to try it much.
MagicBall: An app that requires users to shake their phone to get an answer. Â It seems about as accurate as the Crystal Oracle app.
Memo: Any note-taking app will do. Â Iâm pretty sure all phones come with one pre-installed. Iâve heard Evernote works well, too. Â Basically anything that you can use to save your notes even when youâre on the bus or otherwise on the go.
myNoise: Â This app is made by the same person who has the myNoise website! I 100% recommend this app (and the website which is fairly mobile-friendly) for anyone who needs background noise during spellwork, meditation, divination, or even sleep. Truly amazing stuff.
Phases of the Moon: Â An app that tracks the moon phase and what sign itâs in. Â It also has a (relatively unstable) function to set the moon phase as your lock screen/background that is useful for keeping a constant eye on the moon phase.
Planetary Times: Â An app that tracks the astrological time. Â It explains what planetâs time it is at the moment and also supplies some horoscope capabilities. Â It also explains the correspondences and associations of the planets.
Spellcaster: Â Offers a few basic tarot reading options that do not take user input for card choice (bar selecting a reading). Â It also has a few spells from the creatorâs grimoire, and a daily horoscope. Â There are more features, but the ones Iâve listed are the free ones. Â I honestly donât find myself opening this app much.
Uni Tarot: Â This app has several decks from which to choose, and the user âstirsâ the cards with their touch screen before selecting a card or cards for the spread. Â It has a large amount of information on the cards, and has a journal function.
Viridi: Â A calming, meditative digital succulent gardening app (there is also a viridi for the computer) where you weed and water a potted arrangement of succulents.
White Noise Generator: Â The one I have is an actual stream of white noise. Â Could be useful for drowning out loud surroundings for meditation or ease in hearing spirits.
Could you please reblog this if you are a witch who isnât Wiccan?
