If a deity is telling you to only work with them and to not read any source material (like the Eddas), you might wanna double check that that’s actually the deity in question and not something else. Blind devotion is not something deities like Loki require or ask for.

đź’– New tarot spread for looking into your heart đź’–

✨First card (left) represents where you are right now, mentally, emotionally, or any personal aspect of your heart

✨Second card (bottom of the heart) represents what guidance you need to move forward or grow

As usual, my cards called me out pretty hard.

I know we all have our own practices but I get really, really annoyed with Wiccans and their superiority complex.  Like I get it as a former Wiccan, but please don’t pull this bullshit of “anyone can throw magick around like a toy but one who truly trusts their craft, treats their magick like a sacred gift” in relation to curses/hexes.  That’s great and all for you but the world doesn’t work in black and white and cursing someone who is physically or emotionally hurting you (read abusers) isn’t a bad thing nor is it throwing magic around as if it’s nothing.  There’s a lot of energy that goes into cursing and making sure it doesn’t affect the innocent.  This really shouldn’t have to be said over and over.

tl;dr: You aren’t superior to cursing witches just because you think cursing is 100% bad. Please stop acting self-righteous about it.

Fucking. This.

Hello, wiccan here who to used to be 100% against curses. Just think in terms of the rule of 3, if someone is hurting you, be that force that brings it back around to them. Be your own rule of three. Curse the abusive people in your life.

I wish more Wiccans thought like that. I had a self-righteous one last night trying to convince me that cursing is never ever a good thing and that I’m acting like a child and disrespecting my magic and the Gods for cursing (I practice seidr which is prophecy, cursing, and other things). I know not all Wiccans are like this but fuck I don’t get why so many are.

The Norns aren’t the Judges of the Underworld (like Minos, Rhadamanthys, and Aeacus in Dodeketheist lore).  They don’t pass judgement on the morality/ethics and deeds you did in life. Please don’t label them as such or use them as an argument just because you believe cursing/hexing someone will result in Them judging you badly for the afterlife.

PSA to Witchblr and the Witchcraft Community

Stop 

Ripping off 

People’s spells and tips.

Someone uploaded my spell word for word with no credit given onto their instagram. I’m going to ask as many people to reblog this as they can, because honestly this is super annoying. Link to my original post here

So stop. Make your own original content, and don’t copy others unless you asked them first. 

– This means reposting and vague-copying things on tumblr 

– This also means ripping people off word for word from tumblr onto instagram or any other platform

– This means reposting sigils 

– This means reposting witchy pictures 

– This means anything you have not created yourself. 

They. do. not. belong. to. you. 

When I make spells I am putting all of my hard-earned energy and expertise into them. I am not being paid for this and its literally a labor of love. Things like this make me not want to post original content anymore.  

It hurts the community as a whole because we lose information people would otherwise be fine to share. You are hurting us and limiting the available resources that could help other witches. 

So please reblog this. Let people know that this sort of thing isn’t okay.

đź”®28 Day Witchy Challengeđź”®

Hi lovelies! I hope you are all having a beautiful day! I have decided to make a 28 Day Witchy Challenge Post. This can be started at the beginning of the month or at any time. It’s whatever you prefer.

This is geared towards all witches, new and old. This challenge is focused on taking care of you and your witchy self. I am starting off September with challenge one. I’d love to see or know if y’all do it!!

đź”® DAY 1 – Take time out of your day to think about, write about, or draw what your witchy self looks like. What they are into. Their favorite witchy activity. Any details you can possibly think of.

đź”®DAY 2 – Take the day to meditate. It can be about anything or nothing at all. Let your mind wonder and do it’s thing. Journal about it and let things come to you.

đź”®DAY 3 – BUY SOMETHING WITCHY! This challenge is all about self-care for you and your witchy self, so it can be as simple as spending a dollar at the dollar store or buying something elaborate online. If there is no way you can buy something, try to find something. For example, go to the woods/Park and try to find a mushroom for an offering.

đź”®DAY 4 – Piggy backing off of day 3, MAKE SOMETHING JUST FOR YOU AND YOUR CRAFT. Like all of these days, it can be something big or small. You can make a set of runes or maybe make yourself a picture for your alter. Just make it for YOU!

đź”®DAY 5 – Watch or listen to something witchy. Charmed, Practical Magic, listen to some witchy music, anything!

đź”® DAY 6 – Spend some time in nature! Whether it is sitting on your lawn or taking a hike, or even a walk through the park, just take time to appreciate nature and Mother Earth and all she had given us.

đź”®DAY 7 – Let an entire candle burn. I know this may sounds silly to some of you, but I am the type of person that struggles with this (unless doing a specific spell). So, just sit with your candle and watch it burn. Feel free to multitask while doing this. Just try to focus on it now and again. It can be a birthday candle or a very large candle, whatever works for you.

đź”®DAY 8 – Make a special cup of tea. If you’re not a tea drinker, try a different kind or hot coco or coffee. When making, focus in your intent. When drinking, focus on all the different flavors you taste and sensations you feel.

đź”®DAY 9 – Journal about the elements and what they mean to you.

đź”®DAY 10 – Make a list of new worst things you can try. It can be anything like talking more walks or a new spell!

đź”® DAY 11 – Journal about your deities/higher power. What they mean to you. If you don’t have any, then try to journal about the energies around you. What you feel and the power.

đź”® DAY 12 – Piggy backing off of day 12, write down/find a new way you can honor your deities or energies that you journaled about. And if it’s possible, do it! It can be anything from a leaf you found to an elaborate meal. It can be simply praying.

đź”®DAY 13 – BATH OR SHOWER MAGIC! This is pretty self-explanatory, but try to just take some time and take a magical bath or shower. It doesn’t have to be elaborate, or it can! Try to just focus your intent and maybe try a shower or bath meditation. There are a ton of different things here on Tumblr, so get creative!

đź”®DAY 14 – Spell Jar!! There are a TON of spell jars on Tumblr and all over the internet. You can use those or make your own! They are very easy and great if you’re low on spoons!

đź”®DAY 15 – Cook! If you aren’t able to cook due to physical reasons, or even lack of time, then try to eat something special. Regardless, cook or at least eat something that inspires you or harnesses your intent.

đź”®DAY 16 – PRAYER! This is pretty self-explanatory, but try to honor and show your intent. Ask even, for guidance, hope, strength, whatever!

đź”®DAY 17 – Sky watching! You can watch the Moon and stars or just the clouds go by.

đź”®DAY 18 – Journal about what magick means to you. Go into as much detail as possible.

đź”®DAY 19 – SIGILS! Make your own sigil! Focus your intent and be creative! If there is no way you can come up with your own, then feel free to use one from the internet.

đź”®DAY 20 – Alter time!!! Try to redecorate your alter! If you are in the broom closet, then maybe draw one!

đź”®DAY 21 – Journal about ways you can, from now on, nurture yourself. Whether it’s teas, baths, putting on makeup, whatever! Make lists or just woke about the things you want to do!

đź”®DAY 22 – Worry Stone! You can find one or make one or but one, it’s totally up to you! Which brings us toooooooooooo……

đź”®DAY 23 – Cleanse and charge your items!! There are umpteen different ways you can cleanse and charge your items, just pick one! Please make sure that however you cleanse and charge your items, it is safe for them.

đź”®DAY 24 – PLANTS! Take care of your plants, harvest a plant, buy a plant, even take some time to talk with your plants!

đź”®DAY 25 – SCAVENGER HUNT! No, not literally. But, go find something that nature has given you. A mushroom, a leaf, anything! Place it on your alter and honor it! By honoring it, you honor Mother Nature and all that she has created. Including you!

đź”®DAY 26 – Do a glamour!! This can be anything from enchanting your chapstick to make you feel loved or carrying a self-love charm bag. Get creative with it! Try to make your intent focus on love from yourself or self-confidence!

đź”®DAY 27 -MAKE YOUR OWN SPELL! Literally, just have fun with this. Use your alter, use your journal entries and the internet and books! Get creative! Focus your intent and be specific! It can be low spoons or high spoons. Whatever works for you!

đź”®DAY 28 – MEDITATE! Meditate about the past 28 days and all the work you’ve done! Think and focus on your craft and all the self-care you have worked for!

I hope y’all enjoy this! Please let me know if you do it! I’d love to hear y’all’s thoughts! Feel free to edit this however you want! Make it work for you! I hope all you lovelies are have a beautiful day/night! đź’š

Love and light
