The Hamburglar Witch

The Crow Beneath the Ancient Arch

Look everyone, in These Trying Times we can't always afford things so we gotta make do with what we got. So here's some hot tips to help you become a garbage witch:

Save and use apple seeds, orange seeds, peach pits, cherry pits, etc. to use in your spells.

Make a spirit board/pendulum board out of an empty cardboard box.

Make drawstring pouches out of old clothes.

Use bag strings for binding magic or use them in small drawstring bags.

Shoelaces and drawstrings from old pajamas or sweatpants are fine for knot magic or turning into drawstrings for pouches.

Save glass jars for spell jars.

Study carrion animals, animals that eat garbage, fungus, and the process of decomposition in general. Learn about the importance of biodiversity, and the hazards of oversterilization.

But also study proper sanitation methods, and be aware of biohazards. Don't go living in a house fulla mold or fish through people's garbage for... uhhh... ummm... taglocks. Don't store chicken bones so they'll rot.

If you have a compost bin, write anything you want to "decompose" out of your life on a banana peel. Put the banana peel in the bin.

Learn how to repair broken stuff. (But also learn what you really shouldn't repair for yourself - EG, microwaves - lest you meet with a horrible fate.)

Make charms/talismans by cutting out pictures of things that correspond with your intent and decoupaging them onto wood, chipboard, or layered cardboard.

Make paper mache diety art/statues out of newspaper.

[ID: an image of a set of colourful glass bottles sealed with corks, decorated with ribbons, and labelled with tags, each containing an archival worker from the original team drawn in a chibi style. The background is off-white. Clockwise:

Martin is a fat pale man with medium-length light brown hair, freckles, and round glasses, wearing a periwinkle jumper, brown trousers, and white socks with coral toes. He sits peacefully cross-legged holding a cup of tea with two hands, looking off to the left. His bottle is peach-coloured. The ribbon around the bottle’s neck is blue and loops through a peach-shaped charm. The pale blue tag on the ribbon features a stylized cloud.  Tim is a thin tawny man with straight dark hair, pierced ears and a split brow, wearing an orange polo shirt with yellow dots, dark brown trousers, and white socks with blue toes. He’s lying down casually in the bottle with his feet up, one hand across his stomach and the other raised to gesture. He smiles at the viewer. His bottle is blue with an orange streak, like a marble. His ribbon is orange, and the light orange tag features a tragedy and comedy mask set, which when viewed side-on compose two halves of a broken heart.

Sasha is a chubby person with light sienna-brown skin, long curly brown hair, freckles, and cat’s-eye glasses, wearing a black and pink cardigan over a white undershirt and plain pendant, umber-brown trousers, and white socks with pink hearts. She sits cross-legged with a grey laptop in her lap, and looks at her screen while smiling and talking. She has one hand raised with her pointer finger up. Her bottle is sunrise pink, with a darker pink ribbon. Her pale pink tag features a spiral curling outwards into a question mark.

That’s 1972

29 years before AVEN was started online,

and 47 years before the present.

And that’s only the date that Manifesto was written, so asexuals as members of a community must have existed at least some time before that.
