The mental gymnastics some of you do to justify and talk circles around your intense hatred of wheelchair users is nauseating

A historic time period one sound fascinating!!

I really want to create my own tarot deck but I don’t know what theme I want to do.

Post apocalyptic

Fantasy and use the elements as different worlds and magic systems

My historical favourite time periods

Folk magic but it’s things that relate into my practice that aren’t common thing to notice like smoke or needle and thread

I am glad that I started back to drawing and writing that I can finally do the things I want to do lol

Sooo...I'm Just Throwing This Out To The Void

While working on my Grimoire and drawing inspiration from other Tumblrs, I'm trying to go back to my roots and where this journey truly began. It seriously started with my search of my family history. Again, goes back to Assassin's Creed. The protag Desmond, is essentially strapped to a machine, the Animus, that studies his DNA and triggers his memories found there. But the kicker is, him and the other subjects before him that were in the machine too long would suffer what the game calls the Bleeding Effect. Essentially, subject and their ancestors memories would become muddled and the subject would begin to have hallucinations or act as their ancestor. Which typically had dire consequences.

Game mechanics aside, I began researching DNA, memories, past lives, dreams, etc. So, with my trusty pendulum and my newbie witch books at the time. I began with meditations and visualizing my own Animus. Then, I would calmly wait for something. Eventually, that's how I came across Mikael.

Now, when this began I was able to see Mikael's memories via dreams. If these dreams ended, the dream would continue the following night. Like an Assassin's Creed save file. And since we have bonded over the years, I can do partial to full channels if needed. I haven't need to yet. But, would all of this be classified as? Are there actual terms for this? Is this spirit work? Is it mediumship? Ancestor veneration? Or did I FBI breakdown the door to my spiritual senses as a rookie?

Sun Witch

Sometimes I love the internet, actually. Incomprehensibly huge place but also so small. Saw a video on Instagram where Crayola was announcing they’re coming out with a box with some limited edition previously retired colors, including Dandelion. This video had hundreds of comments and almost all of them where “omg where’s the dandelion crayon girl she’s going to be so happy” and it was such an unimportant thing, but it was just cute

From my experience as a Catholic in my younger years, it greatly depends on your religion or spiritual practice. For example, my household did the "give up something for Lent" and "no meat on Fridays". Grandma Betty who was older and didn't do much extra activities only ate one meal a day, and her cheat days was every other Sunday she would have a small piece of Coffee Cake after our whole family had a two hour prayer session of praying the Rosary and praying to all the saints. This was also the time, she would donate money to her favorite causes and charities, and if she could she donate extra. So, in a way, fasting from technology would count.

what are some substitutions for fasting? My current job/lifestyle doesn't allow for me to just go without meals. Are there alternatives when rituals call for it? Could something like a technology fast be equivalent?

I don't have enough knowledge to provide an answer to this.

illusions and distortion in witchcraft

an illusion is defined as something that is likely to be wrongly perceived or interpreted, or something that distorts your perception.

distortion involves altering the natural or original state, shape, or condition of an object or giving a misleading impression of such.

illusions can affect all of the 5 senses - seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting, and feeling.

illusion vs glamour vs shield

i feel like the terms can be synonymous depending on your desired outcome but, this is how i break it down:

illusions: creating things that don't exist; what you perceive and what you want others to see

glamours: altering what already exists; how you perceive and how you want others to see things

shields: a combination of both but commonly used for protective workings

when to use an illusion spell

when you want to alter, manipulate, or distort the perception of reality.

invisibility (masking yourself or your energy)

distorting one's appearance or the appearance of other objects

confusion

distraction

disorientation

persuasion

how to cast an illusion spell

however you want, although i'm partial to raising energy in whatever method i choose, directing it into a thing, and then using said thing to activate the spell whenever i want.

correspondences & ideas for illusions

herbs:

anything psychotropic or hallucinogenic in nature - think chamomile, cannabis, datura, wormwood, mugwort, damiana, gingko, nutmeg, salvia, valerian, poppies, coffee, tea, etc.

OR whatever corresponds to your specific intent

crystals:

agate (confusion)

alexandrite (delusions)

amethyst (delusions)

celestite (detachment)

diamond (confusion, disorientation)

kunzite (distraction)

moldavite (delusions)

obsidian (conflict within others)

etc.

not to mention, crystals have refractive properties, too! you can use that idea for distortion. (check out my a-z crystal list and curse correspondences for some more ideas)

cosmic:

moon - emotions, imagination, and the unconscious mind

neptune and pluto - illusions and metamorphosis

dark matter and black holes - invisibility and darkness

elements: if you consider the example of "driving down the road and thinking you see a puddle of water up ahead but then it just disappears when you get close to it," mirages could technically incorporate all of the elements:

earth is the foundation for the mirage, or the road you're driving down

fire provides heat

air is heated by the road

the actual mirage appears as water

and! when water turns to ice, it can create optical illusions like parhelia (sun dogs), sun haloes, and light pillars because of its interaction with sunlight.

plus lots of other cool stuff so use your imagination and good luck!
