“—how Wonderful To Be Who I Am, Made Out Of Earth And Water, My Own Thoughts, My Own Fingerprints—

“—how wonderful to be who I am, made out of earth and water, my own thoughts, my own fingerprints— all that glorious, temporary stuff.”

Things I’d Advise You NOT To Do

Seriously…Don’t. These are things that I have stupidly done, or I have seen someone else do. It would be wise to listen.

Things I’d Advise You NOT To Do

 Do not give spirits your name: To many people and cultures, your name holds a lot of power. I may not know much of anything about the fae or fae witchcraft in general but I have read many witches are not a fan of giving out their name. Lots of witches go by their ‘witch’ name for this reason. I’ve even read you have to say you may call me (insert name here). But I don’t even like the idea of calling people by their name when we suspect spiritual activity. Imagine hearing a malicious entity calling you by your name. Growling it. Whispering it in your ear. I don’t even like when people here know my damn name when they’re alive. Imagine unseen forces having you, having power over you by your name. Don’t give them your damn name.

Do not challenge a spirit without knowing what you’re getting into: I stupidly called out a poltergeist in my spouses family home and I called it verbatim, “a little bitch”. Talk shit get hit still applies and I got socked in the eye. My eye was aching and burning for minutes after I said what I said. The spirit didn’t want to be seen and I was threatening it. Be prepared for anything to retaliate. Cause it just might.

Never Panic: I don’t care that you’re scared. I’ve been scared. I’ve been choked. You. Don’t. Panic. You’re going to do nothing but feed the damn thing that’s scaring you and that is no good. You won’t think straight when you panic, you won’t be rational if you panic and you can’t communicate well when you panic. It is okay to take a deep breath even right then and there. And just try and calm yourself. It’s okay to be scared, but do not panic.

Don’t be afraid to stand your ground: Let them know you’re not to be fucked with. Don’t falter to them. Speak your piece and be firm and kind. If they are posing an issue, you let them know you’re not going to stand for it. Stand your ground.

Don’t just assume the ghost you called for is there: Spirits are just as capable of lying just like you are. You ever hear your name with a voice you’re familiar with? You ever hear whispers in your ears that sounds like someone. Make sure you know you’re speaking to who you wanted to speak to.

☽ Little Tips For Witches ☾

here I will leave some very useful tips for those who have been in practice for some time, as well as for beginners. I hope this text will illuminate and help each one on their way! ✨

❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀

• to do energy cleaning in your home, put in a glass: water, coarse salt and charcoal. position it behind the entrance door.

• bury egg shells in a pot or in your home garden to ensure abundance and fertility in your home.

• do not put the ashes left over from the incense out, they can be reused in making the black salt.

• burn dry rosemary to attract protection, purification, psychic abilities and openness for healing.

• to attract positive energies to you, spread several mirrors around your home, just avoid those with sharp details on your edge. they also help to clear the mind.

• to ward off any bother that is bothering you, write the key words of the situation on a white candle. light the candle and ask the fire beings to burn this evil that you want to destroy.

• make a wreath with chamomile flower and hang it on the door to protect the environment throughout the year from physical and spiritual damage.

• use cinnamon to improve your individual skill with prophecy through divination, channeling and working with oracles.

• when making your own oils, use olive oil and dried herbs of your choice.

• press and store rosemary leaves in your books. this will increase your wisdom during your studies and your memory, making you learn more easily.

• burn some thyme on your altar to clean up your magic space. thyme when burned with incense strengthens psychic power.

Too much light! 🌿 🌿
