Hello again! Two of my favorite ways:- a spray bottle of vinegar & rosemary and water(clear quartz if you’re fancy)- sound. Bells, uplifting music, singing, sound bowls, etc.

Frühlingsreigen (A Song of Spring) (1913). Maximilian Lenz (Austrian, 1860-1948).

Sky above me, earth below me, fire within me and water that fills me!

push yourself to fall asleep earlier - start with 11pm, then 10pm, then 9pm. wake up in the morning feeling re-energized and comfortable.

get into the habit of cooking yourself a beautiful breakfast. fry tomatoes and mushrooms in real butter and garlic, fry an egg, slice up a fresh avocado and squirt way too much lemon on it. sit and eat it and do nothing else.

stretch. start by reaching for the sky as hard as you can, then trying to touch your toes. roll your head. stretch your fingers. stretch everything.

buy a 1L water bottle. start with pushing yourself to drink the whole thing in a day, then try drinking it twice.

buy a beautiful diary and a beautiful black pen. write down everything you do, including dinner dates, appointments, assignments, coffees, what you need to do that day. no detail is too small.

strip your bed of your sheets and empty your underwear draw into the washing machine. put a massive scoop of scented fabric softener in there and wash. make your bed in full.

organise your room. fold all your clothes (and bag what you don’t want), clean your mirror, your laptop, vacuum the floor. light a beautiful candle.

have a luxurious shower with your favourite music playing. wash your hair, scrub your body, brush your teeth. lather your whole body in moisturiser, get familiar with the part between your toes, your inner thighs, the back of your neck.

push yourself to go for a walk. take your headphones, go to the beach and walk. smile at strangers walking the other way and be surprised how many smile back. bring your dog and observe the dog’s behaviour. realise you can learn from your dog.

message old friends with personal jokes. reminisce. suggest a catch up soon, even if you don’t follow through. push yourself to follow through.

think long and hard about what interests you. crime? sex? boarding school? long-forgotten romance etiquette? find a book about it and read it. there is a book about literally everything.

become the person you would ideally fall in love with. let cars merge into your lane when driving. pay double for parking tickets and leave a second one in the machine. stick your tongue out at babies. compliment people on their cute clothes. challenge yourself to not ridicule anyone for a whole day. then two. then a week. walk with a straight posture. look people in the eye. ask people about their story. talk to acquaintances so they become friends.

Personae Dramatis: 

Joseph (an annoying Christian Neighbour) Sven (heathen just minding his own business)

Act 1:

Joseph, yelling over the fence of his farm: “Yo, Sven, your gods crossdressed once!”

Sven: “ah ok.”

Joseph: “Doesn’t…doesn’t that like…bother you?”

Are you a witch who has just experienced something infuriating, or perhaps being aggro as fuck is just your state of being?

MAKE FUCKING BREAD.

IT’S CHEAP, EASY, AND ENDS IN YOU HAVING FOOD IN YOUR FACE, WHICH WILL CURE YOU OF YOUR AGGRO IF IT IS CAUSED BY BEING HANGRY. IT’S BASICALLY THE BEST WAY TO BEAT THE SHIT OUT OF SOMETHING LEGALLY.

HOLY COW I LOVE KNEADING.

STICK HERBS IN YOUR BREAD FOR CALMING.

DRAW A SIGIL ON IT WHILE IT PROVES TO TRANSFER YOUR ANGER AWAY FROM YOU.

I TOTALLY SUCK AT BAKING, BUT EVEN MY CONFUSED ASS WAS ABLE TO EXECUTE THIS EASY BREAD RECIPE LIKE A BOOOSSSSSS.

https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/2060/easy-white-bread?fcid=199899

ONLY 5 INGREDIANTS. MAXIMUM POTENTIAL FOR ANGER-KNEADING.

But personally I think 2tsp of salt is a bit heavy for this size loaf. To me it tastes much lighter with just one, so, ya know, different strokes…

WATCH THIS BRITISH GUY IF YOU’RE A VISUAL LEARNER.

NOW YOU HAVE EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO MAKE THE ANGER-LOAF OF YOUR DREAMS.

This is not news, but it is an important read, especially for people who were previously unaware of the trend of neo-Nazis stealing pagan symbols for their own.

If you are an anti-racist, anti-fascist pagan, keep doing what you are doing, you are keeping the fight alive

If you are an anti-racist, anti-fascist person who is not a pagan, help us spread the word of this, stand in solidarity with us as we kick the fascists out of our communities

If you are a fascist pagan, fuck off, this faith is a peaceful one

No platforms for fascists.

This isn’t a post bad mouthing people who don’t use the left hand, who walk the straight and narrow instead of the crooked path etc, just some perspective.

I personally use my left hand quite often, almost as much as my right. And I have good reason for that, and here’s why:

People say they don’t use baneful magic because it’s against their moral code. It’s manipulation. It’s a power trip. It’s trying to force your will onto something/someone else…

All witchcraft is an excersize in manipulation. A conscious effort to change the world and surroundings through your will.

With that out of the way, you end up feeling better about your magic. Realizing that trying to bind someone from spreading gossip is coming from the same place as a love spell, as cursing someone, as writing a sigil to get better grades, to ease pain in a loved one.

Doctors study to heal the human body, to prolong life, but they do this by studying everything. They study disease, sickness, infection. You can’t treat an illness effectively without knowing how it works. You can treat symptoms of something, and you might get lucky and find a cure, but until you know just as well as what will kill someone, how can you know how to save them from that same thing?

If you don’t know how to curse someone, how can you be sure how to break it?

What I’m trying to say, is to be a full rounded witch, who actively wants to help someone, go for it, but put in the work.

Witchcraft is a lifelong journey. It’s learning just as much from the eldest tree, as the youngest bird. Witchcraft is recognizing the beauty in putrescence and the offense of beauty. Witchcraft is the pursuit of knowledge.
