Some little things I've learned over a decade of witchcraft:
If you are feel called to work but are tired/drained, sit outside. Take in all the energies around you. Nature can help charge you
Every witch does a little bit of a bunch of types of magic but sticks mainly to one or two in general. You usually won't be eclectic forever. You'll find what magics work best with you.
Never be lazy or cut corners with spirits. Always be respectful and always tell them to leave when you're done
When you see a plant or ingredient with a long list of properties, there are different things at play. Season of collection, the part of the plant, the health of the plant, etc all play a role in impacting which properties it will carry.
Don't call on spirits unless you have confidence and control
Be careful with sea/water magic. Get into it gently and slowly until you have the energy figured out because it can get out of hand quickly.
Adding a little pinch of magic into your breakfast can make a major difference in your day.
Your personal emotions/feelings over something will impact a work
Planting some plants is good, not only to have a garden, but the dirt helps cleanse you too. Get all dirty and muddy. It's good for ya
Not all trees are nice
The more you listen to your intuition, the easier it will be to tell it apart from your anxieties and worries
Incense is very easy to make which is why it's usually cheap to buy. But you can find a million tutorials online on how to make your own personal incense which is great if you want a spell to take effect over a while but also want to infuse the fire energy in it.
The more you work with something the better feel you get for it. Cinnamon goes in almost everything i cook and most of my spells because me and cinnamon just get right along
Your path is yours and no one else's. It will look like yours and no one else's
DOKI DOKI!!! ♥♣♦♠
Graveyard etiquette from a cranky traditional witch:
-Leave shit at the gate (coins, cigarettes, eggs, flowers)
-If alone go in silence, if with others speak in a hushed tone
-Wear a hat or head covering to prevent possession or bringing home unwanted spirits.
-Bring bells and/or rattles to wake the dead if desired
-Smoking in the graveyard or carrying a flame is an easy way to get the attention of the dead at night.
-Bring a knife or object made of iron should things get hairy (always bring a knife). Canes are also excellent tools for working with the dead
-have a way of gathering occult materia without being noticed by people or spirits (invisibility charms work best)
-If you're bringing spirits home with you (intentionally), don't turn around until you're across the threshold of your home
-Upon leaving the cemetery, say a prayer for the dead and wild things that inhabitant there
-When home, spread white powder (flower, salt, ect...) at the door to keep unwanted spirits out. A colander over a key hole works too.

You want to see real sorcery happen in your life?
Start talking to yourself.
Comfort yourself when you’re down.
Soothe yourself when you’re hurt.
Encourage yourself when you’re scared.
Feeling nostalgic? Tell yourself some memories.
Messed up? Tell yourself it will be fine.
Time to sleep? Tell yourself good night.
When you’re tired, ask yourself to take a break.
When you’re panicking, get yourself to breathe.
When you win, congratulate yourself.
If you do these things sincerely and consistently, you will witness true sorcery.
Your body will start healing itself for you.
Your heart will start feeling whatever you want it to.
Your mind will start changing your environment to fit you.
No one in this world will love, nurture and protect you as much as you will yourself.
But as with everyone else, you first have to earn yourself’s devotion and loyalty.
So start talking to yourself today. What’s the first thing you will say?

Christmas Data Strike 2024
Instagram is literally suppressing every video I made on reels about this so I’m turning to tumblr. On the 24th and 25th, we are striking on Meta services (Instagram, Facebook) as well as X/Twitter and Tiktok. Streaming services, google, and any amazon services should be boycotted as well if possible.
DO ✅
Engage with activities that are offline
Spend as little time online as possible
Tell your friends and family that you’re going dark and then put your phone in airplane mode!!
DO NOT ❌
Use any of these socials period. Do not give them your screen time
Use google to search for anything - use an alternative search engine
Buy anything online
Stream television or music - download your shows and watch offline if necessary
Why?
These corporations, especially during christmas, use our data to train their models for next year. They want to know what gifts we got and what we’re doing with them. By depriving these companies of our data, we are saying that we want to maintain the right to our data and privacy! Here’s a tiktok video that explains in more detail.
PLEASE reblog for more reach!!! Tumblr is the only platform I can think of that won’t suppress this strike.

mahou etiquette
what you should and shouldn't do for interacting in the magical girl community!
regarding some interactions i've been seeing more frequently lately, i decided a general post on etiquette inside the community would be very useful for some newer magical heroes.
a magical girl's main value is to be kind, so i think we could all use some help in making that easier. this post includes (number) general "rules" for magical girl etiquette!
1. you shouldn't ask other magical girls to turn you into one.
this, at its core, is just plain disrespectful. a magical girl's journey is something incredibly personal, and asking people to just "turn you into one" is just as bad as asking people to manifest things for you or anything of the sort. and in all honesty, if we could all just become magical girls by asking a higher up to turn us into one, we would all have full results already.
by relying on someone else to "turn you" into a magical girl, you're not only relying on someone else to do these things for you but you're also placing pressure on said person. do not become dependent on random people on tumblr, or any platform, for that matter, for results— it's just rude and benefits no one.
2. on a similar note... don't go around asking for people to get you free readings or manifest you things!
sorry, i just had to specify this too. please don't do this! you can't just ask people here to do things for you, magical girl communities aren't your personal request blog. if you really need a reading, you can ask people for them if they specify they're doing readings. otherwise it's much easier to do divination yourself without bothering random people.
as for manifestation, this is similar to point 1. this is a personal journey, and you can't just ask people for it because "you can't do it". not only is that not a good mindset to have at all in terms of manifestation, you're relying on other people to get your desires. random people on tumblr can't do these things for you, and even if they can this is just rude to ask to people you don't even know.
3. don't put people down for their achievements.
you struggle with a certain magical activity and feel sad when people manage to do it? that's sad. don't put people down for succeeding. i can't believe i have to say this, honestly. you're allowed to be upset, but you are not allowed to make a scene about it and make people feel bad over... being able to do things.
listen, everyone here is hurting in some way. and honestly i would argue that a lot of people might feel the same when they can't seem to do things other people can. but guess what? these people don't shit on other people for achieving things. you're allowed to have your feelings but you are not allowed to be rude because of them. this will hurt people. this has hurt people. other people have feelings and doing this will make people feel bad about achieving things. you're putting people down for feeling good about themselves.
please just... don't. again, you're valid for feeling these feelings. but you can't act like an asshole because of it. stop making other people feel bad because you do.
4. don't act like your experience is the only valid one.
this goes for both physical and astral mahous— don't assume that all magical girls do things a certain way. astral and physical magical girls are one community, and we should stick together. that's why you can't just assume there are only either physical or astral magical girls. this is misinformation that has been around for ages, and honestly i'd just call it ex animo behavior; also known as, terrible amounts of misinfo server. assuming one or the other is never helping.
if someone asks you how to become a magical girl, without specifying physical or astral, you shouldn't just explain one and act like it's the only way. this is just ignorant. if you don't have experience in one of them you can ask them to specify or explain the one you're familiar with but be clear that this is not the only way to be a magical girl. if you can, you should also educate yourself on both sides of mahouhood, and you should at least try not to spread misinformation. it's the least you can do, in a tiny community that is so subject to this kind of fake information.
5. be kind! stand up against bullies!
don't let fellow magical girls go around bullying people. this sounds very obvious but you'd be surprised at how often this happens, and sometimes completely brushed off. i've had someone play off how they hurt me as a "jupiter retrogade" thing. and i still haven't got a decent apology for any of it! 🎐
but personal experience aside, being a magical girl is all about being kind. you don't need to be all cutesy gentle and love everyone and everything or whatever— just be kind. don't bully people, don't vague about people, don't hurt fellow magical heroes or anyone for that matter.
just as any community, being a magical girl does not exempt anyone of being a bad person or of causing harm. again, as obvious as it sounds, apparently it needs to be said. you have to own up to your mistakes and to the people you might have hurt, that is included in being kind. and an apology isn't just "sorry if what i said came off as immature or mean ahaha!"
and if you see a magical girl being rude or a bully, you should stand up against them and you should call them out on it. no amounts of sweetness or formality or not being good with tone will take away the fact that if you're being a bully, you are being a bully and you're not excluded from fault.
i hope this post reaches the people who may need it! reminder that i love you all, and that you're valid. <3
witches who support modern medicine & scientific evidence 2024 ✨️🩺💉
Folk Magic Battle Bag
Magical workings don't always take place at home. This is my "battle bag" I take with me when I need to perform magic or workings on the road.
My Bag
The bag is a basic canvas molle waist bag. I also attached a small, padded essential oil case.
The Gear
Inside I have most of what I need to perform a working on the road.
Birthday candles
Ritual knife
Leather cord
Chime candles
Scisors
Alcohol wipes
Thread
Incense matches
Mini incense/candle holder
Staples
Coins
Essential oils
Herbs and salts
Stay away powder
Sharpie
Harvesting knife
Incense
Prepared witch bottle
Empty bottle
Needles
Camphor tablets
I still need to add a small assortment of cloths and some soap sheets but those are coming soon.
Hold on, just gonna add this to my EDC setup with my medkit and pistol bag
(it is a good idea tho)
I'm now calling it Tactical Folk Magic.
i’m thinking of making a life size ryan reynolds cutout for my room. what if i made it into a room guardian. is this anything
uh. anyone have resources on beginner witchcraft? i just realized ive never actually gotten the chance to study the barebones stuff and launched into the quote unquote "crazy stuff" right away ^_^'
i definitely feel this, it can be really tempting to get into complicated magic stuff!! Harmony Nice is/was a wiccan iirc but she has a lot of great youtube videos that can get you started.
i also recommend joining witchcraft discord servers- not all of them are good, but i’m in witches garden which has a lot of great links to google docs written by experienced witches about tons of topics, and there’s always someone willing to help out!
i’m also always here if you want to send an ask 🙏

💫 Why Protection Magic Is Useful (even if you have no enemies)
A lot of witches will tell new witches (baby witches) that they should start by learning and using protection magic. However, I've started to see a lot of witches say that protection magic is not as important as other witches claim it to be. Saying that they don't have anyone coming after them or an enemy in real life to warrant a spell of protection.
I think this may also be due to how I've not personally come across anyone really explaining why a witch may want to use protection magic all the time.
Now, it is true that there's no need to be paranoid all the time and have protection up 24/7. But here's a list where you may use it, find it useful, or haven't thought protection magic could be included.
An actual person -- This one is obvious, you have an enemy in real life or on the internet and you need protection magic to protect you from their curses.
A malevolant spirit -- They can come from your windows, mirrors (including tv screens, computer screens, and other reflective surfaces maybe), they seep through floor cracks, hanging onto your coats from outside, etc. Just like how you'd use garden gloves to avoid dirt up your nails being trapped there. Protection magic is just like putting on those gloves.
An energy -- Say you have a neighbour who's arguing with someone. They're yelling and screaming and it can be heard through the apartment walls. That negative energy is seeping into your home and your energy. So it may be worth protecting your home and energy from that sour neighbour's energy. (ever been scolded by your mother and your mood is sour? it's kind of like the same here.)
Your own spell -- Now a self-love spell is probably not something you should protect yourself from. But let's say you're doing a curse. It would be a smart idea to make sure you're protected before beginning such a spell. Much like how you'd wear an apron to protect your clothes from stains when cooking food. You may not always spill your food when cooking, but damn it is it annoying when you do and the stain won't wash off. It's the same with a spell.
Unintentionally -- Sometimes things can happen that's out of our control and it's a good idea to be a little prepared. A black cat suddenly running across the street? Bad luck. Someone got jealous when you told them something good? Evil Eye. Think of it as going to the store with an extra bag for your groceries. You may not need it, but isn't it handy when you at one point do need it?
Protection magic doesn't have to be elaborate or grand or be convoluted. Protection magic is powerful but also extremely simple. All you need is a horseshoe above the door, a little talisman in your pocket, a sigil for your car, etc.
So don't dismiss the importance of protection magic. It may help to improve your spellwork and your energy.
Witch Things I Didn't Realize I Was Doing
My roommate to be and I have been going through our different mental illness quirks and I am slowly realizing that many of mine stem from old wives tales and folk practices, and can be/are witchy. So
Mirrors not facing each other/not facing a bed. - mirrors can amplify bad energy, in some cultures they're viewed as portals
Cinnamon above the door - keep negative energy from entering
Marbles outside by the door - certain bad spirits will be compelled to count them before coming in (is acceptable with many alternatives such as seashells, a broom, pebbles, crystals, etc)
Animal decor faces windows or outside doors - scare negative energy away, funnel negative energy out, etc
Horseshoe upside above the door - keep luck from running out
Throw a pinch of spilled salt over your left shoulder - I genuinely don't know what this one is for, if you do, please tell me
Windchime by the door - scare away negative energy and keep energy from getting stagnant (and I had a customer tell me that they're are "middle eastern devil worship" and now, I need them to be petty)
Using your middle finger instead of your pointer - I didn't know this was a superstition thing, but apparently your pointer finger was considered the poison finger, and so using the middle would keep you from being poisoned.
I'll add more as I slowly figure them out. Some things I genuinely don't realize are superstitions. My family is from the mountains and I've been trying to reconnect. I have a book on other superstitions and folk practices and I remember reading through going "Huh. That's why I do that..."
(Also, I am moving soon, so if anyone has any tips for apartment living, feel free to drop it!)
