It’s okay to not “dress like a witch”, you are a witch, so you are dressed like one!
Sometimes spells don’t work, don’t get flustered, try again!
Not everybody in the community is nice and welcoming, hold your ground.
Find what path suits YOU, not your peers.
Witchcraft is customisable to fit YOUR needs.
Cursing is NOT a bad thing!
Respect closed cultures always.
You don’t have to be religious.
Witchcraft and Wicca are NOT synonymous! Witchcraft is a secular practice, Wicca is a religion completely unrelated.
Remember to ground and cleanse every once and a while.
Thank your tools occasionally.
Witchcraft is not the solution to all of your problems.
Ingesting herbs can be dangerous at times, be careful. Especially if you take medication!
You will not be able to control people, read minds, levitate, or use telekinesis. Those are all movie magic.
Take everything with a large grain of salt.
Read as much as you can, even the “bad” (cough silver ravenwolf) books, you can learn what not to do that way.
Avoid Silver Ravenwolf unless just reading for the meme.
You don’t have to keep up an edgy “witch” aesthetic, just be you!
There tends to be a lot of drama surrounding the witch community in particular, stay out of it.
STAY AWAY FROM PAGANSUNCENSORED.
You don’t have to do anything you don’t feel comfortable doing.
Covens are NOT mandatory.
There is no special ‘initiation’ to become a witch, you want to identify as a witch? You’re a witch! Just like magic.
Be careful of who you trust, just like any other community there are bad eggs who will try to hurt you.
You don’t have to use divination to be a witch!
You don’t have to tell people you practice until you feel safe doing so, don’t feel rushed.
RESEARCH, CROSS CHECK, THEN CHECK AGAIN! Never believe one source.
Shielding and protection are important.
Casting a circle is not necessary, it is a preference.
People who have been practicing for longer than you will sometimes try to belittle you, do not believe them. You are just as much a witch as someone who has been practicing 20+ years, you’re just newer.
DON’T LICK UNKNOWN ROCKS. Seriously, you could die.
Using a ouija board is not going to summon a demon, but take the same precautions you would with any spirit work.
Don’t be afraid to ask for help, or ask someone to teach you something.
Remember that you don’t have to be ONE type of witch, you can practice forty different types of witchcraft at one time if you want!
Charging your crystals gives them an extra boost and aids in magic.
If you don’t want to use the title “witch”, you don’t have to. There are many, MANY other ways to say you like a little magic in your cereal.
There are many ways to practice in secret, but make sure you’re safe in doing so.
Burying jars is awful for the environment. Find biodegradable things to use instead!
Be careful if collecting graveyard dirt (or anything from a graveyard) - you can get into some pretty extensive trouble.
Be cautious about using rusty nails. Always wear gloves.
Basic fire safety goes a LONG way.
Your own intuition is one of your biggest tools, learn to use it well.
Learn at your own speed!
Don’t use witchcraft in place of medical/psychiatric professional assistance.
Working with Fae can be dangerous, make sure you know what you’re doing.
Research before doing something, common sense right?
Familiars will not always be your pets, unfortunately.
Working with spirits can be dangerous, take necessary precautions.
Lemon water is probably the easiest way to cleanse, just be careful around crystals.
You are valid as a witch, no matter if you’ve been practicing 20 minutes or 20+ years. You are awesome.
for the last 2+ weeks, the Amazon has been catching fire. Yes, it’s the season where that’s normal but because of the sayings (aka incentive) of our new president, some farmers are taking advantage of that and intentionally setting the trees on fire. Yesterday, because of this, the sky of São Paulo looked like this. AT THREE IN THE AFTERNOON.
Hospitals of the northern states are filling up with people (especially children and seniors) claiming they can’t breathe properly. ALREADY ENDANGERED ANIMALS ARE DYING. THIS IS SERIOUS.
Germany and Norway, huge donators to the Amazon cause will stop sending money because they don’t see results (that can also be credited to our president, who has been tweeting angrily ever since - not because he cares about the environment, btw). That money gives this guy and his team equipment to save little guys like these:
THIS AFFECTS EVERYONE, NOT JUST BRAZILIANS. The Amazon is the largest rainforest in the world, and it’s being destroyed. WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING.
If your country is holding elections, vote for someone who cares about this. Don’t let another Bolsonaro or another Trump have the power to do something and then do nothing. This is going to shape our future — if we have one.
PLEASE REBLOG, EVERYONE NEEDS TO SEE THIS!!
side note: not to sound bitter or ungrateful but also like what’s up with Europe… y’all exploited South America for centuries but just because you “aren’t seeing results” you stop helping altogether?? if you really wanted to help you wouldn’t stop because you think you aren’t helping lol
The possibilities are endless, how does your altar look? *:・゚✧
Three words… Amethyst. Crystal. Fireplace 😱🔥✨💜

Arctic Wolf by Jim Cumming
🌙 Figure out your intent or goal and what corresponding planets, stars, constellations, etc are to your intent/goal. You may also use herbs, crystals, essential oils, etc along with the celestial bodies of your choice. Choose which ones you think or what your gut thinks is best for you. If your gut says you don’t need that, then don’t use it.
🌙 Get in a comfortable position. Normally sitting criss-cross or laying on your back. Surround yourself with the herbs,essential oils, or crystals of your choice.
🌙 Close your eyes and take deep breaths in and out. Try your best to clear your mind.
🌙 Now for visualization, a large hole in the ceiling appeared or the entire ceiling is gone. Your celestial body(bodies) glide over the open hole or ceiling. If you chose more than one CBs, they can glide over in one at a time, in small clusters or one large cluster. Imagine that the CB(s) stop directly over you and that they start to send down their energy in a beam of light. Now, your body starts to fill up with light near the third eye chakra (in between the eyebrows) and the crown chakra (the top of the head) then from those chakras, energy starts flowing through your body, making your entire body glow brighter and brighter over time. While all of this is happening, thank the CBs for their energy,
🌙 This next step of visualization is imagining what would happen after your goal. What does it look like? What does it sound like? What does it feel like, emotionally and/or physically? What would it smell like? You can think of any smell that fills your intent. What would it taste like? You can think of any flavor that fills your intent. After you’ve visualized all of your gaols’s five senses, you can stop meditation.
🌙 You’re ready to use your energy for divination!
there’s a little bit of devil in her angel eyes
