A place for the Merman

Recently (finally) finished this. Review ⬇️

A clause in a spell is something where you say "if x happens then do y". For example, a glamour spell might benefit from a clause saying "if someone gives me negative energy, charge off of it to strengthen the spell". In that particular case, it transfers negative energy into energy to do your spell rather than it hurting you.

But, these tend to be hard to do. The concept itself is quite easy, but it succeeding is what's hard, so be warned that it might take a lot of practice to get it to work.

Step 1: basically you have to be setting up another spell, preferably one that you already think it gonna work. Self love spells, glamour spells, and protection spells will probably work best. Do that spell in it's entirety except the final or finishing steps (such as releasing the spell or sealing the spell jar)

Step 2: What do you want the clause to be? Remember that whatever clause you do is not an excuse to go into those bad situations, such as self bullying or danger. This is only to help mitigate the effects. Come up with your clause and write it down

Step 3: Take any physical objects from the spell (or picture the spell if it has no physical objects) and imagine the x part of the clause happening. Then imagine as it triggers the y thing to happen. Using my example at the beginning, "if someone gives me negative energy, charge off of it to strengthen the spell". So I would imagine someone pointing out a "flaw" or in general being rude and the object in the spell glowing brighter (to represent charging).

That's really it, like I said it's a quite simple thing, it's just hard to get it to succeed.

Credit me if you repost this or use something similar in a spell, thank you! As always, send in an ask if you want me to talk about something or if you have questions

I grew up in Florida; I was always around palm trees. I never really worked with palm tree spirits much, but they’ve been there for me throughout the years, guiding me.

So here are my personal correspondences for some species that I figured based on the vibes they’ve given me, I hope it helps!

• Palm trees in general: wisdom, protection, adventure, self-love

• Royal Palms: confidence, strength, wisdom

• Coco Palms: prosperity, relaxation, love, family, hospitality

• Swamp Cabbages: protection, spiritual, trickery

• Pygmy Date Palms: confidence, health, love, comfort

^ Sea grape is great for releasing into the ocean, given that it grows all around the beach.

^ Banana tree leaves, which you can also use to wrap things in (as my family does for pasteles 😍)

Also for banana trees:

The seed pod alien thing drops petals that you can write on or use as little bowls, they’ll hold ingredients and they’ll float on water :D

And of course, palm tree leaves ^ Take them apart, write on them, use them to tie things, knot them, braid them, weave them into a basket or bowl or ball for ingredients, whatever you can think of! Seriously look up “palm tree leaf crafts” it’s insane everything you can do with these. They’re great.

We're approaching Samhain so a good time to resurface this one because every year people ask - but what if my ancestors were terrible people?

So a quick rundown of other types of ancestors that we can work with. (The terms aren't mine but rather used in the community. They should help if you want to find more info on a specific type to work with.)

Ancestors of Flesh and Blood are biological ancestors (shared DNA)

Ancestors of Milk and Honey are those who nourish us (adoptive ancestors)

Ancestors of Bone are the ancestors of the land (bones of the earth connection)

Ancestors of Breath and Bread are those we share a vocation, craft or interest with.
