Heathenry is an open religion, pass it on
essential oils are awesome witchcraft components! they can also fucking hurt you.
so, I’ve been selling smelly things for about a decade now (which is crazy, but there you go), and I get super wired whenever I see people using essential oils for witchcraft/devotional perfumes/what have you. I also get worried sometimes, because some of what I see people doing - particularly on tumblr - is kind of dangerous. (sometimes in a low-key way, sometimes seriously.) use essential oils for devotion and witchcraft because essential oils are awesome, but be careful with them, because plants are assholes and want to kill you sometimes. Check out the contraindications before using anything. There are basically no essential oils that are 100% safe to use in every single situation. It’s important to double check even if you’re healthy, but particularly if you have a medical condition or are pregnant. (If you’re pregnant, be really fucking careful. Seriously. Essential oils are a minefield for you.) Don’t give yourself a fucking chemical burn. One of my favourite party tricks (I am so boring at parties) is to put a few drops of something like peppermint oil on a thin plastic take-out container. If you wait a couple of minutes and then poke it with a fork, the plastic will have melted a little. EXCITING. A lot of people seem to think that essential oils are ~~natural and gentle~~, but fuck, a lot of them are used by the plant to get rid of insects/fungi/etc. All essential oils need dilution before using them (okay, sure, tea tree and lavender are generally safe, but otherwise), and some shouldn’t even be used on the skin in normally-safe levels of dilution. If you have sensitive skin and put some cinnamon oil lotion on it, you’re fucked, you’re going to be red and sore and pissed off at cinnamon, which is a sad state of affairs. Related note: don’t try to dilute with water. Essential oils aren’t lipids, but they’re still hydrophobic. Want to use essential oils in your bath so that you can focus on shit that isn’t all the stuff you have to do at work tomorrow? Awesome! My favourite is spruce, clary sage, and myrrh - that one’s fucking great. Dilute it with bath oil or some salt first, though. Being super focused on how sore and itchy you are isn’t ideal. Related note: citrus oils are assholes. You know that whole ‘use sun and lemon juice to bleach your hair!’ deal? That totally happens to your entire body if you use too much citrus oil in something that’s going on your skin. Bergamot is one of the worst, but all of them are guilty as hell. Dilute well, don’t slather it on before going out in the sun, and keep an eye on how your own body reacts. Remember that essential oils are super concentrated. I fucking love putting essential oils on charcoal. Sometimes I mix them in with dried herbs, but sometimes I just drop them on the charcoal directly - too many drops and you’ll just have a hunk of sad wet charcoal, but it’s worth it for the billowing smoke that flows out over the rim of my charcoal-burning bowl and drifts along my altar. (SPECIAL EFFECTS FOR YOUR MAGIC.) Whenever I do that, though, I have to remember to be careful about how much I use, and how much of the smoke I breathe in. Inhaling ten drops of peppermint essential oil all at once is like eating more peppermint than anyone should or would want to eat, just fucking… bowls and bowls of the stuff. When I used clove oil on charcoal to get rid of a plague of flies, it worked magnificently, but then I also had to air everything out and ended up googling the effects of clove oil overdose. I had one customer who accidentally dumped a bottle of lavender oil on their head; they washed it off, but still had some fun hallucinations (this is sarcasm) and spent a while at a walk-in clinic. Don’t let that be you. Essential oils go bad. This isn’t a safety tip, exactly, unless you’re dealing with an oil like jasmine that will make you cry and hate your life and the world if you smell it after it’s gone bad. Those oils are rare, though - your sadly ruined oil isn’t going to stink, it’s just going to stop smelling like anything and become an expensive bottle of nothing much. Store your oils in a cool, dark place - don’t set them out on your altar or shrine if that’s on a sunny windowsill. Most oils will eventually lose their potency anyway (citrus oils continue to be assholes and only last about a year even in the best conditions), but some oils, particularly resins, will keep for decades and just get better with time if you’re nice to them. Be careful. Don’t burn yourself. Don’t overdose. That’s about it, really. ETA: Be careful about pets and other animals. This needs a whole post of its own, honestly, but if you have pets (particularly cats or birds), read up on how they react to essential oils. This shit is important. Essential oils can be deadly to some animals.
How to Clean Gravestones
Image Source
DO NOT USE:
wire brushes
abrasive pads
detergents that contain compounds like sodium bicarbonate, sodium chloride, sodium sulfate, ammonium carbonate, and trisodium phosphate (TSP or Calgon)
household cleaners (soap, borax, etc.)
bleach
pressure washer
How to clean a tombstone:
Gather supplies
soft bristle brush
plastic scraper
craft stick
non-ionic detergent
ammonium hydroxide
soft water
Determine the condition of the stone
Be extremely careful with cracked/flaking stones.
If the stone is too badly cracked or flaking, it may be best to leave it alone to avoid further damage.
Pre-wet the stone.
The best way to clean the stone is to scrub with water alone. Avoid using cleaners if possible.
Wash the monument from the bottom to the top to avoid staining and streaking. Rinse often.
Use a plastic scraper and/or craft stick to remove biological growth and dirt from hard to reach places, such as indented lettering.
If you must use a cleaner
Mix an ounce of non-ionic detergent in a gallon of water. Scrub gently to remove moss, mildew, algae, and lichen.
For light colored stones, mix 1 cup ammonia in a gallon of water. Scrub gently to remove moss, mildew, algae, and lichen.
Do not let cleaners dry on the stone.
Give the stone a final rinse with water.
The stone does not need to be cleaned again for another 10 years. Cleaning a stone too often will cause it to deteriorate faster.

Full Moon September 28th
The next most prolific celestial event we will be encountering this month is the Pisces full Moon during an eclipse, while Mercury is in Retrograde. This can mean a multitude of things, but for me this has extreme implications of letting go, and releasing toxic or unnecessary desires, lots of things like exes, past hobbies and love will be prominent for many. This is a time where we can revisit passions and bring them back, maybe you used to draw or had or played World of Warcraft, now is the time to get back to the things you grew out of, but still make you happy. This is a time of transition and release, dissolving the parts of you that have lost their use and putting trust and faith into the world, that you know their is a plan for you and you trust it is in your best interest. During this time, I would recommend doing something to appease or honor the part of you that sill dreams and yearns for fantasy, read a novel, go to cheesy romantic comedy, just don’t forget your soft gushiness. This is also a wonderful time for soul searching, shadow work, and astral projection as the veil of this world and the other will be thinner. If there was every a time for a full home and body cleansing it is now, get rid of all unwanted energy on your person and in your home during this period is you will be greatly empowered, especially if a certain spirit is pretty stubborn. Good luck my little Stars, and May luck shine down upon you!

The strong smell of garlic was thought to repel supernatural beings. The Egyptian word for garlic sounded like the word for harm, and the fact that individual cloves of garlic were thought to resemble teeth was an additional reason for using it as a repellent. A charm against ghosts, snakes and scorpions, involved pounding garlic with beer and sprinkling the mixture over a house or tomb at night.

Mama Odie’s Gumbo Scrying//
Okay, so this is a combination of kitchen witchery and divination-and i freaking love doing it.
Kitchen witches and Swamp witches often will scry using whatever is available to them-in this case, gumbo or soup.
Alphabet soup works well. Or any kind of soup with floaty…things.
I’m not feeling very eloquent, its been a long week lol.
Make your soup or chowder or gumby. Stir it three times clockwise.
Gaze into your pot or bowl of liquidy goodness and use Mama Odie’s little ditty.
‘Gumbo, Gumbo, in the pot! (insert short question here..example ‘I need a lover’ or ‘I need my future’) Whatcha got?!’
Blow on the surface of the soup and stop stirring.Then use your powers of interpretation to interpret the shapes.
Bam! Gumbo magick. You arrre welcome. ^^
Life with Heather Chandler isn’t all lunchtime polls and Remington parties. Everyone you know has both a good and bad influence on you, whether they mean to or not. This spread can be used to see your relationships with friends, lovers, co-workers, family; anyone.
If you don’t like using signifiers/significators, feel free to leave it out.
Alternative phrasing:
1. In what ways does this person support me and help me grow?
2. In what ways does this person oppose me and hold me back?
Here's a thought: all(most) city witches live at a crossroad
