I Know There’s A Lot Of Tension After Tumblr’s New Policy Annouced For December 17th, But Reblog

Random Witch Advice

That (mostly) doesn’t have anything to do directly with practicing, but is useful anyway.

Don’t test your abilities. Don’t try and see if your abilities are real. The universe can and will overpower your spiritual input and basically call you out on your bullshit and tell you to start being confident about your craft.

The best ingredients tend to be the most simple ones. You don’t need these expensive as hell materials to have a successful spell. Honestly, I’ve had spells where I get had a piece of paper, a pen, and a lighter, and guess what? They worked.

Moon water is such a useful tool. And so easy to make. Just make it if you don’t have any, even if you don’t need it right then and there. You might want it soon.

Are crystals necessary? No. Do they help a shit ton? Yes. Do you have to buy expensive ones? No. You could literally go to a craft store and find semiprecious gemstone beads - just make sure the beads aren’t man made replicas. Sometimes it can be hard to tell, so watch out!

You don’t need a black mirror or crystal ball to scry. Just grab a bowl, fix its energy, and fill it with water. Bam. Scrying instrument.

You don’t need a physical witchcraft journal to be an Official Witch. Sometimes, it’s just so much easier to make a labyrinth of links on a free make-your-own website and call it a day.

Tarot apps are better than no tarot.

If you can’t find a label for your craft and feel like you need one to be an Official Witch, you don’t. Just vibe, honey. Just go with it. You have a label that works enough on its own. It’s the word “witch”.

Check. Your. Sources. If someone posts something that seems sketchy, search into it. If someone posts something that’s to good to be true, search into it.

To follow up on the last one, when you notice misinformation, point it out (respectfully)! If the witch on the other end doesn’t budge, well, you tried, friend.

Would the term “daeva” not be culturally ambiguous/neutral enough to suffice?

tenkohime replied to your post: How would “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” be in Middle…

Bubba Hotep was wrong. Why was that the first thing I thought? XD

I had to google what that was. It’s not to say that the Egyptians didn’t have blood drinking demons, it’s just that they’re in the Book of Caverns and they don’t have names. We just call them demons because they look and act like what we expect our notion of ‘demon’ to be. This is why I couldn’t give a word for them because there simply isn’t one and demon is too set in pseudo-christian language to be culturally right.

ma’at ;; egyptian mythology series

When Ra built the world from the primordial waters, Ma’at was set in motion, she who is goddess and concept. Justice and The Right are hers, and through her they are manifested upon the earth. She is the perfect harmony that maintains the universe.

These Genius 'Worm Toilets' Backed by Bill Gates Are Changing People's Lives in India

Worms may not have spines, but they're doing some back-breaking sewer work in more than 4,000 toilets across India.

Worms may not have spines, but they’re doing some back-breaking sewer work in more than 4,000 toilets across India.

Since 2015, a creative new type of toilet called the Tiger Toilet has been popping up outside homes and schools around the country.

From the outside, this toilet looks like any other pit latrine. But it doesn’t smell like one. Instead, it comes with a built-in population of tiger worms.

“Their natural breeding, natural habitat is in cow dung heaps, or horse sh*t heaps, that kind of thing,” Ajeet Oak, director of the Tiger Toilet company, told Business Insider. “Poop. That’s where they like to live.”

The toilets involve no traditional flushing and aren’t hooked up to a sewer system. Instead, the worms are contained in a container below the toilet, and they feast on faeces.

The creatures’ activity leaves behind a mix of water, carbon dioxide, and a small amount of wormy compost (that’s technically the worms’ poo, though it’s much less toxic and more nutrient-rich than ours).

The resulting water isn’t clean enough to drink, but it “can go into the ground and it sort of gets filtered naturally from there on,” Oak said. No wastewater treatment plant needed.
