Right as I was beginning to wake up this morning my brain said, very loudly, “YGGDRASIL IS NO LONGER THE WORLD TREE. IT IS THE WOKE TREE.” And I’m not sure what to do with that
starting today and henceforth mímir’s well contains pure Woke Juice and nothing else
Ok, TBH I did this on the fly when I got sudden inspiration. This was aimed at an undesirable suitor.
Items:
Black/banishing candle candle (for wax)
Black/banishing ribbon/thread
Paper
Black pen
Name of person
Spit
Waning moon (optional)**
Somewhere dark to place it
Method
Light candle. On a small piece of paper write the person’s name you want to go away.
Underneath draw an eye, to represent their sight, so to speak (doesn’t have to be pretty or detailed)
Using the pen, black out the eye completely, while saying things like, “ I blacken your vision, you cannot and do not see me, you do not think of me at all. I blind you of my presence, etc.” I made it up as I went.
Spit on the black eye ( if you do it before blacking it out, it will be difficult… I made that mistake)
Fold it up as much you can or want, to seal and trap.
Tie the black ribbon over the folded paper and pour the black candle wax onto it to seal.
This step depends on your practice. I put it in a small black box (until I want to dispose of it) but others may want to bury or burn it.
I almost didn’t answer this because of how obviously baiting this is and because there some obnoxious assumptions here.
What do I think about outside the box and innovative approaches to magic that incorporate everyday things that make life easier? Well since it’s not attested to in a tome from 1653 I obviously think it’s bull.
Do y’all realize I practice folk magic? Do y’all realize that folk magic exists because people needed shit to work? It’s all about using the material around you to create change. If someone wants to explain to me how we can put stock into tinctures and herbal extracts as magically potent- but that if you put it into a spray bottle it’s suddenly powerless, please try and convince me. I’ve not heard about wet wipes but you know what fucking good for them that sounds smart too.
I feel like the expected answer here was for me to say “oh boy I’m a traditional witch so you know that’s fluffy and dumb”. Here what I want to know, does it work? Did those wet wipes get the job done? Did the user get their results? If you want my opinion on magic that’s all that matters.
I obviously have no problem answering asks and I love interacting with y’all. But if you send something that in anyway relates back to “do you think X magic works?” the best you’ll get is an exasperated sigh. The worst is a rant like this. Im not here to look down my nose at new forms of magic. I really like the spray bottle stuff and I use it myself because I think it works. Will I try other new forms like emoji spells or the wet wipes? Probably not. But why would I care about it being used by someone else?
Very rarely is asking “is this legit?” Or “what do you think about X?” A useful question in situations like this. If you want to ask “is this an accurate source?” Or “someone told me this is a historically attested spell is that true?” That’s a-okay and I will do my best to find an answer to the best of my ability or point you to someone who can.
This also isn’t a rant about how “anything goes” in magic or witchcraft. This is a rant about how it’s not my job or yours to look down your nose at what other people are doing. Wet-wipe-witches ain’t hurtin you. Go look down your nose at appropriation and racism. Shit I wish people got half as pissed off about appropriation as they do emoji spells.
may the bridges I burn light the way
