Pick ingredients for your coffee that align with your ambitions for the day.
It can be used as an offering to deities, spirits, ancestors, etc.(e.g. for Sif I sweeten the coffee with oat milk + honey but for Hel I leave the coffee black for an offering)
Consider the way you stir! Counterclockwise banishes and repels negativity, clockwise invites + brings energy to you.
Stain pages for you journal, spell work, or book of shadows! You can also use a strong brewed coffee and a paint brush to paint sigils onto the pages! .

extremely concerning seeing otherkin (especially minors) post their memories of a person they knew in a past life and ask for them to reach out. people can lie. that person might not be like you think they are. people can take advantage of you. there is basically a zero percent chance you are going to find the person you're thinking of, please just keep yourself safe and hold off on it even if you miss them
Most of us are wizards, Harry.
You’re not special, Harry.
You are not a wizard because wizards are fake.
I can neither agree nor disagree with that statement unless you are able to define exactly what you mean by "wizard."
it’d be so cool to just… make it rain… for dramatic effect. So now I’m gonna learn weather magick and make some kind of spell that requires only words, and I’m gonna whisper it before falling to my knees and sobbing loudly
Good morning peeps. Hope you’re having a great morning. Make your self some coffee, tea, hot chocolate or whatever you like to drink in the morning. Eat some breakfast, even if it’s just a small bite. Have a great day.
Don’t wanna send a pic of my alters cuz they are a MESS! But I still wanna talk about this.
Ok so I have an altar for myself and an altar for the deity I worship. My deity altar is on top of a drawer, it has a deity candle in the centre, a box for letters and drawing offerings, a tin box of offerings and a lighter. In the compartment under it is my altar. It’s got herbs, spare string, rocks, a twig that was my wand at some point but snapped in half, a few spells and much more. None of these things cost a lot. And it’s also pretty subtle. A drawer with a candle and two boxes on there? That’s normal. A drawer compartment? That’s also normal. No one has to know about my craft
do you guys prefer minimalist altars or over crowded ones?
i just saw a video on youtube from a witch who's altar was very minimal, tidy, expensive looking (they had around 3/4 of those statues of the Gods that cost like $80 each and also a huge deer skull), and overall aesthetically pleasing altar.
it made me kind of insecure about mine because i don't have the money for all those things, and also, my altar contains all the stuff i use the most, not only devotional / worship related things.
feel free to reblog this with pictures of your altars! i'd love to take a look ^^
EDIT: thank you so much to everyone that has reblogged this and gave advice to me! it really has made me feel better. also, your altars look so cool!!!!! i love them all.
This. This is how I feel most of the time
if I made sense , and you completely understood what I meant , where is the fun in that ? I desire to be confusing and spontaneous .
I pulled 2 all nighters in a row, first tarot card i pulled today told me to rest (4th of swords)
(~7 = around 7)
I remember a fanfic that did something that reminded me of ~7 year old me. What they did was they made a person alternate between hero and villain. Or sometimes-they’re-a-hero-sometimes-they’re-a-villain.
And ~7 year old me loved to take a barbie doll that was supposed to be a hero, and have her cover her face with her hair to hide her hero identity. When her hero identity was hidden, she was a villain. She’d cause trouble, get out of sight, show her hero identity and “defeat the villain”. Basically, she took credit for “defeating” herself.
This of course wouldn’t actually work in real life, mainly because in real life people don’t have super powers. The other part is because the barbie always showed herself, in the same clothes as her hero self. Another part is because it’d take too much effort.
shit. I think im a wild cat.
A very famous moth, the African death's head hawkmoth :) Named after the skull shape on their back, though honestly i dont care about the skull, i care about the fact that they can SQUEEK!!!
