the canis witchery

I don't do poppet magic often, but I've always found it to be a lovely form of magic. This is one I keep on hand. Useful for when life is a little too heavy.

Craft your poppet using whatever material works best for you.

Fill with lavender, chamomile, and a pinch of rosemary.

Hold the poppet and say, "I don't have to carry everything on my own. I am loved and never alone."

Whenever you feel overwhelmed, hold the poppet and say, "You will carry this for a while."

This ask game was inspired by this fun little trick or treat post by orriculum. I participated when it resurfaced last year, and it was honestly the most fun I've had, so I wanted to make something that could be done year-round (shout out to the Path and Practice server for helping!).

How It Works

Reblog this to participate.

When someone sends you an ask saying "Fool or Favor", reply with either. You can choose these at random, use a generator, dice, etc.

FOOLS- these are your "trick" equivalent. Obviously, this is in good fun, so nothing cruel. Maybe a silly gif, meme, whatever! Just try to keep it SFW (so no gore, sexual imagery, etc)

FAVORS- these are your "treat" equivalent. They can be things like sigils you made, tarot readings, simple spells and charms, witch tips, a song list or mood board for the person, etc.

Remember, this is all in good fun! If you don't want to continue answering, feel free to stop at any time. Likewise, you can reblog this as often as you'd like.

listen, i don't know who needs to hear this, but you don't have to practice ancestor veneration or build an ancestor altar if you don't want to. and if you're going to argue with me and be rude, consider that a) i don't gaf, b) fuck you, and c) i don't gaf

i've been a practicing witch for over eight years now. i have a contract with the lord of the dead. i neither have an ancestor altar nor regularly light candles, incense, or meditate with my ancestors. i have many reasons for this, of which i'll list below, but just know that it doesn't Matter what your reason is. it is your choice and yours alone what you do with your practice.

reasons why i don't practice ancestor veneration:

the only "ancestor" i would bother venerating is my mother, who i lost when i was seventeen. to some people, that might seem like a long time ago, but it's still too fresh for me

i have no connection with the older generations, nor do i think they (hardcore christian, white) would respect me (queer, trans, and a witch) in the slightest

many of my ancestors were mean, hateful, or very ill people

unless someone reaches out to me, i have no interest in trying to force a connection with someone just based on the fact that they were biologically related to me. see above for why

i value the peace of my dead, and because no one is reaching out, i assume they'd rather be left alone

I’ve been building a little browser-based digital grimoire / webgrimoire for my site, and it’s finally at the point where I want to let other people try it.

https://shrine404.neocities.org/grimoire

It’s still in beta, so im basically just asking people to poke around, play with it, and tell me what works, what feels clunky, and what you’d want added.

It's not a productivity app so don't go in expecting that. I wanted it to feel personal, decorative, a little old-web, a little devotional lol..

I worked really hard on this so if you can give me feedback and maybe reblog I'd be so happy. Again it is FREEEEE.

What it can do right now:

Some tag users were saying they wish people would ask them about their practice, and we could use a little spring joy. So here's a little ask game for all of the tag members and all of the other witches out there. Send emojis to ask questions, or send a question of your own. Remember to keep the game going by sending asks to the person you reblogged from.

🌿 What is your "witchcraft origin story"? 🍃 What were your first magical influences vs your influences now? 🧭 If your personal practice had its own unique craft/tradition name, what would it be? 🪶 What specific tradition(s) (if any) do you follow? If you're more eclectic, explain how you put it all together, 🕯️ What does a day-in-the-life look like in your practice? 🧰 What type of workings do you do most frequently? 🌙 What tools do you use the most? 🕊️ What animals and land features do you most often use in your practice and how? 🧠 Do you prefer to do divination with tools or with the inner sense? What are your preferred methods? 🔄 What’s something you believe about magic that’s changed over time? ✨Are you a mundane before magic, mundane beside magic, or magic first type of practitioner? 🌧️ What has been your greatest challenge within your practice? 📚 What magical books are you currently reading / did you last read? 🌱 What is something you are learning, exploring or improving in your magical craft? 💖 What about your practice brings you the most joy?

Bonus:

- Dried orange peels

- Dried ginger root

- Cinnamon

- Salt (pink if you have it)

Dry the peels and ginger really well, until they snap when you bend them. Combine all ingredients in a blender or grinder and grind to a fine powder. You could use a pestle and mortar if you have great arm strength, but it’s 2026 and I have an electric coffee grinder that I use for witch stuff.

I have a hard time believing that the three fold law is real when we’ve had centuries of abuse happen to minorities. 

The threefold law just feels like prosperity gospel for witchcraft. 

Trying to suggest to me that bad things will happen to bad people on its own because the universe will do it for you just feels kind of privileged. And then to use that idea to suggest that Baneful magic, which historically was used by oppressed people not the oppressors is bad because it does harm, is almost laughable.
