Hey, Tumblr. We’re Making A Quilt. We Want You To Help.

Hey, Tumblr. We’re Making A Quilt. We Want You To Help.

Hey, Tumblr. We’re making a quilt. We want you to help.

We’ve partnered with the NYC Department of Health (@nychealth), ThriveNYC, the First Lady of New York Chirlane McCray (@flonyc), and Tumblr Creatrs (@creatrs) to build a digital Mental Health Quilt.

What’s this, then? Each patch on this wonderful thing will represent an individual’s relationship with mental illness. That’s where you come in. Whether you’ve battled it before, are going through it now, or are helping others in their struggle, we would love to see you contribute.

How do I submit a patch? It’s easy. Three New York City artists and four of our fantastic @creatrs made these templates for you to download if you want to color in a patch.

Want to submit something more original? Sure! Just a couple formatting things:

Try to keep the post captions under 100 characters.

Your work must be 600x600px at 72 DPI, in a JPG or GIF format.

It must be 100% your own. Totally and completely original.

Whichever method you choose, just submit here.

You’ll be helping out some pretty great charities, too. All you have to do is tag your post or submission with #The Trevor Project, #NAMI, or # The Steve Fund and we’ll donate $1 to the tagged charity, up to an aggregate total of $20,000 for all three organizations.

And the end result? While all of these patches will live on the Mental Health Quilt Tumblr forever, some of these patches will actually be printed out and turned into a real life quilt. We couldn’t ask for a better monument to you and this project.

Finding a Familiar

You will need the following items for this spell:

Animal of choice

Candles (optional)

Hand

Voice

When you find a creature that you wish to become your familiar, you must first ask its permission by passing your hand over it and crying: 

By the Moon that shines at night, and the Sun so very bright, I ask you once, I ask you twice, but more than twice would not be nice. With a wag, a croak, or mew, pray tell me now what you will do. Will you my familiar be? Give your answer to me.

Wait until the creature does something you take to mean, “Yes!” While the animal may have had another name like Blue, Jebbert, or Charlie, it is now important for you to choose a secret magical name.

Keep The House Safe Amulet

Keep the house safe amulet

As a way to maintain the landlord rules going on when I’m away traveling or at my girlfriend’s house, I made this amulet that is hanging on my front door.

I was called to do this during the banishing ritual I posted here, and so I used what I had in hand: some twigs and black ribbon. It could have been a poppet of me or an item that’s close to me and will not leave my place.

They key of it is my blood, connecting the item to me. So, when I’m out, this represents me and my power over my land–it’s basically a warning for intruders that I’m there even when I’m not, I will notice them and will be pissed when I’m back.
