A little oatcake and amethyst offering to the faeries this morning since they’ve been bugging me for my attention. Hope they’re willing to share with the ants hehe.

For the cake:

1/3 cup of oatmeal

½ cup of milk

1 teaspoon rosewater

3 teaspoons sugar

Microwave in a bowl until it’s sticky enough to pry out with a knife and stay together, I topped it with a dried apricot and flowers

Sweet treats offered to you fae

So you may help my on my way

Look over my flowers and my trees

Ensure they bring an abundance of bees

Enjoy this food that I have made

So our friendship will not fade

hello loves! this is going to be a bit of a tricky subject. I absolutely believe that curses, hexes, mal de ojo, buri nazar, and negative spirit attachments exist. with that being said, I also believe that a lot of the things we assume are signs of curses can also be signs of poor self care, vibration misalignment, poor health, and the effects of mental illness. I always suggest that, before jumping to the conclusion that something is a curse, ask yourself if it could be a result of something health related or psychological. always consult a doctor or psychologist if negative mental and physical symptoms persist. part of being a witch and a mystic means learning to discern what is spiritual concern and what is medical concern. I’d say that 9/10, these symptoms are mundane rather than mystical. please take responsibility for your spiritual, physical, and mental health! with that being said, here are some of the primary indication of a curses.  ✨ ⚡️

Sudden lack of motivation and loss of energy - specifically if you’ve been feeling stable and energized for a long period of time then, suddenly, you find yourself groggy and unable to clearly focus. 

Nightmares and sleep paralysis - dreams in which you’re being chased, killed, put in uncomfortable situations, or forced to face fears. pay attention to crows, vultures, owls, snakes, spiders, and rats if they appear in your dreams. these can sometimes be representative of bad omens. sleep paralysis has long been associated with spirit attachment.

Relationship difficulties - if you’ve been in a stable, loving relationship with your partner and things rapidly go downhill, it could be a sign of spiritual interference. this also applies for friendships and familial relationships. 

Financial loss - being fired suddenly, financial fraud, unexpected payments that come out of nowhere, competition within the workforce, legal issues, difficulty finding a job… these could all be potential indications of a curse. 

Dark Omens - mirrors breaking, crystals cracking, a string of bad luck, an heirloom going missing, a flock of crows surrounding you, etc.

Health Problems - headaches, panic attacks (if you are not usually prone to them), random pains, cuts that appear out of no where, intense muscle spasms, strange allergies, increased anxiety. as I said before, please get these things looked at by a professional. even if you’re certain it’s the result of a curse, medical attention is still needed. 

Difficulty sleeping - it’s common for those who have attracted a lower-vibration spirit to wake up between the hours of 3-4 AM. general disruption of sleep patterns is also a sign. 

Inability to access intuition - you may find it difficult to connection to your pendulum, cards, or other divination tools. when you go to do your usually spiritual work you’ll hit a ‘wall’ that prevents you from truly tapping in. 

⚡️ ⚡️ ⚡️ ⚡️ ⚡️ ⚡️ ⚡️ ⚡️ ⚡️ ⚡️ ⚡️ ⚡️ ⚡️ ⚡️ ⚡️ ⚡️ ⚡️ ⚡️ ⚡️ 

how do I know if it’s a curse or something else?

the main difference is that these ‘symptoms’ will appear suddenly and out of no where. they’re a huge contrast from your normal vibration. if you’ve experienced these symptoms for as long as you can remember, it might be a sign of something psychological in which I suggest you consult a professional. for example, prolonged anxiety attacks could clearly be the result of general anxiety disorder. consistent lack of motivation is usually associated with depression. can long term mental illnesses be caused by a curse? it’s possible, yes, but not likely.  also, these can all be related to non mental or physical illnesses. perhaps you’re having difficulty sleeping because you dink caffeine too late in the day. maybe you can’t access your intuition because you’re not being consistent with your spiritual routine. maybe you’re having headaches because you’re drinking too much alcohol. too often people will blame their own short-comings on a curse because it’s easier to place the blame outside of ourselves rather than taking responsibility. 

how does one get rid of a curse? 

first of all, if you believe you’re under a curse, take a deep breath and know that you’re going to be okay! just by recognizing that there’s an antagonistic outside force against you, you’re taking away it’s power. awareness is key! my favorite way to handle a curse is through prayer, mantra, salt baths, smoke cleansing, selenite wands, florida water soak, and visualization. any combination of these things 

my fave mantra is the mantra of kali ma, destroyer of darkness, evil, and spiritual obstacles.

start ! - you don’t have to know everything there is to know about witchcraft in order to start. as a beginner, the internet is your best friend. you can learn about everything from divination to tarot reading and even search up some simple smells. google is essentially your grimoire. it’s a learn as you go process.

don’t stress ! - don’t feel bad for not practicing every single day & definitely don’t be discouraged if a few of your spells don’t work out. stress and worry can clog your mind and in turn affect your craft. a lot of us don’t have time to do lengthy spells every single day and thats okay! simple things like drawing a little sigil in your morning coffee with cream, enchanting your makeup or pens and even pulling a tarot card everyday can help you incorporate a lil bit of magick into your life. 

believe ! - you have to believe in yourself. apply the law of attraction to your daily life and especially during your spell casting. if you truly believe your spells and charms are working, they will! have faith.

individuality ! - there are no rules or guidelines to being a witch- to each its own. your method of casting a protection spell could be drastically different from the way i do it and there’s nothing wrong with that! some prefer crystal magic, others are heavily reliant on potions. remember- theres no wrong way to practice. as a beginner you can try out a bunch of different methods and then stick to what works best for you. sometimes you’ll be drawn towards one particular thing- don’t ignore your gut feeling! look into it and see if there’s anything of interest.

write ! - write down everything. start your own grimoire or book of shadows. write about the properties of certain crystals, phases of the moon and interpretations of tarot cards. i recommend keeping a track of your spell casting. write down the spell, materials and casting in detail and then keep updates to see if your spellwork has paid off. having your own witchcraft diary of sorts can be extremely useful- you’ve essentially got your own encyclopaedia. it’s also great for when you want to look back and see how far you’ve come as a witch.

materials ! - you don’t need to invest in expensive crystals and herbs while you’re starting out. clear quartz is a universal crystal and can be used in any spell- it’s enough for the beginner witch. you could buy seeds from a local gardening shop and start your very own garden for cheap. ransack your local grocery store or even your own kitchen for basic herbs. make do with what you have on hand. recycle old mason jars, glass utensils, containers, altoid tins for spells in a jar and travel friendly altars.

study ! - read up on books about witchcraft, follow witch blogs and maybe even talk to a practicing witch. witchcraft is such a vast and expansive practice; you can never have too much information. read about celestial magic and hedge witches and everything in between. learning about the different types of witchcraft and methods will help you decide what’s best for you. you can strictly stick to one method of practicing or apply a little bit of everything. if you’re into deity worship, read up on greek, egyptian, roman, hindu and norse mythology to find a deity/deities for your altar.

celebrate ! - witchcraft is all about celebrating life, nature, the universe and all the energy within. celebrate the sabbats and cast special spells on your birthday, anniversary or any other event. it’ll help you feel closer to your craft, especially if you’re in the broom closet.

last but not least, don’t overthink. trust your instincts and intuition and do what feels right to you. you’ll grow and become better at your craft as time goes by. practice, believe and always know that the magic comes from within.

Sagittarius

Bites more than they can chew: Sagittarius loves to explore and wants to learn from things but they prefer to go to the top and all the way instead of going slow and learn. So say if they play a new video game they’ll skip the tutorial and play the game on the highest level.

Word vomiting and doesn’t know their place: Sagittarius have a sense of ideals that people may not understand but they apply, so say they heard you talk about someone then in front of that someone you were acting nice they get angry because they feel lied to and manipulated. Sagittarius believes in the hard bitter truth over the sweet lies so they won’t change that just because you don’t feel so, however like any person they can violate other people’s space or privacy but they’ll understand and respect you if you tell them off.

They live in their own world in their head and think everything in there is the same as the entire world logic: aren’t we all? Expect they don’t shy away from it and may over confidently voice it.

Capricorn

Emotionless and cold: “the most ruthless were the most kindest “, something I believe is the case with many earth signs and especially Capricorns. It may seem like they don’t care but it’s mostly a defense mechanism which they use to make sure you’ll go all the way for them so they’ll show you their more intimate self.

Workaholics: Capricorns May be driven towards success but not all their goals and dreams are academic or typical kind of jobs. It may seem to some that all they care about is work but they just want to fulfill their dreams.

Boring: I never understand why some people describe a whole sign as “boring”. Just because they don’t want to party every night or sneak out at night or skip school doesn’t make someone boring. Just because they don’t want to do what you wanted or them having different interests doesn’t make them boring.

Aquarius

Would do anything to be different: we all want to be different in way or the other, however it seems this stereotype comes from either a place of misunderstanding or envy. Aquarius tend to have a lot of eccentric and bold appearance and very off the wall ideas so they tend to be interested in unconventional things like art, which lead them to be quite competitive and frustrated with people not understanding them or people trying to be “cool” by being unconventional and eccentric.

Doesn’t care about anything or anyone: it may come off as such but Aquarius cares a lot actually, from people who drive crazy to those who dont say thank you when you open the door Aquarius cares about a lot of things and how they affect the world and the bigger picture so it may not look like it but they very much do.

Uncompromising and doesn’t give people a second chance: Aquarius expects people to deliver when they ask them for something or they’re working with them, they up hold themselves and others to a standard where they have to make it work or not do it at all.

Pisces

Always daydreaming: I don’t know about this and I have never known a Pisces that daydreams a lot but I have met those who forget a lot, so for as far as I know they might be trying to remember something.

Weak and a sensitive snowflake: Pisces can be sweet but calling someone weak because they’re kind or considerate is a cheap shot.

A stoner: really! Do I need to explain why this one is wrong.

Aries

Angry and short tempered: Aries is a very chill person and if you see them angry often that means they either love you so they show you their emotions or hate you and you piss them off often

Strong headed and likes to be the best: as a cardinal sign Aries is prone to be competitive and wanting to win, however, it doesn’t necessarily means that Aries would tear people to be the best and that they have to. I don’t find being strong headed as a bad thing, I find as an asset that needs to be controlled.

Bullies and dictators: a very disgusting stereotype that was put on Aries, some would even hold them accountable for certain actions that were made by a certain asshole. Stop.

Taurus

Lazy and loves to eat a lot : one of the zodiacs most known stereotype, I actually find it very funny that a very hard working sign get to be called lazy for loving to relax, Taurus is a sign of habit but that doesn’t mean they sit on their ass eating all day in matter in fact most of the Tauruses that I know ended up being successful at a younger age and got their shit together earlier and faster than their counterparts so I find it quite ridiculous.

Hates change and rigid: Taurus is a very stable sign and get very comfortable when they’re happy in their position, however you haven’t lived until you saw a Taurus change up, they changed completely and I mean completely and I am not only talking hairstyles but also friends and styles and even jobs. Yes they hate change but when they do it’s like taking the ground and flip it upside down.

An asshole towards others and doesn’t respect other opinions: as a fixed sign Taurus doesn’t take apposition very lightly, but unless they ask you for your opinion they really don’t want to hear it and unless you’re better than them at that certain thing then they’ll never going to take your advice and move on and I actually like that about them.

Gemini

Always talks and doesn’t shut up: here we’re at the most hated sign. Gemini’s have a very quick yet short term thinking span so when they get excited or talk about something they let it all out so they won’t forget about it or get over, and personally I love someone who can hold a conversation with anyone since I find it difficult myself.

Two faced and cheaters: we need to pump the brakes on this one because it’s very disgusting to call someone these things because of their sign and people actually made a sport out of making fun of Gemini’s. Gemini loves to fly and doesn’t like to be stranded and settle when they think there’s something better for them and if you’re not then they’ll leave.I have never met a cheating Gemini, all of those that I have met are actually loyal to a fault, they stand up for their friends even when they know their friends are wrong, they even stay in a horrible relationship just because they don’t want to break someone heart and give respect to their relationship.

Liars and make stories up: I think we’re all guilty of adding spice or over exaggerated a certain event to make it more interesting but Gemini’s are terrible liars and that’s why they get caught when they do, however that doesn’t mean they’re all liars just because whoever the fuck said so on their page.

Cancer

Cry babies: Probably second to Gemini on the most known stereotype, I find cancer emotionaly intelligent which most people lack. Emotional doesn’t mean someone who always cry but rather someone who understands their emotions and can describe them very well so I don’t see them crying as weakness but rather a way of relief that I wish I had honestly

Always jealous: cancers are known for their protective behavior and sometimes it may come off possessive and that it comes from a place of Jealousy but they mean well as they tend to be fearful of their loved ones get harmed or hurt. In a relationship a cancer wants to be with their partner and experience things with them so they might have a fit if you’d leave them to hang out with someone else and yes they would be jealous over you since they love however it may come off as very ridcal and immature but if they didn’t care they wouldn’t be a pain in your ass

Insecure: just like with emotions cancers are open about their struggles and tend to express them early on more so than the other signs. Just like any person they might feel not good enough or that they’re a failure and so on, but cancers care a lot about making something to fullest. As a cardinal sign they feel insecurities very often and can’t help but express them since it’s in their nature.

Leo

Narcissistic and self centered: a big misconception about Leo’s that they’re self absorbed, think they’re the best and doesn’t think about anyone else, but actually they feel very much like the worst so they act like the best to help them feel otherwise. As of the narcissistic claims Leo’s might be proud but narcissism requires a whole different kind of doucheness, as a fixed sign Leo’s are stubborn and might come off as stuck up but it’s just their confidence and big personality.

Lazy and big procrastinators: like the lion Leo’s have their ways, they love to sleep and eat and chill but when it comes down to it they turn it out and go all the way.

Must be the queen B and demands attention: this one is very stupid in its self because they associate mean girls from movies to Leo’s and I honestly have no words

Virgo

OCD: this is a mental illness and many people get offended by this whether they’re Virgos or someone who actually suffers from OCD, and I don’t tolerate such insensitivities and inconsiderate behaviors.

Stuck up: this might come from Virgos love for success, as an earth sign Virgo might come off insensitive and monotoned but it’s just how they’re and they don’t mean it to come off as such , since all earth signs value work and this might be seen since they have a confident attitude.

The mean kid in school: just because they associate signs with certain movie stereotypes that doesn’t make it applicable to a whole sign.

Libra

Whores: why? No really why? This is very gagging and not in the good way. Just because they love to look good doesn’t mean they’re asking for it.

Manipulative: Libras calm nature and hate for confrontations and loudness make them look manipulative and doing something under the table when all they want is to get out of the situation

Sympathy seekers: Libras are known for their diplomatic approach and because most people are not sometimes they want to feel understood on how they want to be say both of their friends friend but keep out of their drama without looking bad

Scorpio

Any kind of criminal label you could think of: doesn’t need an explanation to see why it’s stupid and unnecessary.

Addicted to sex: sex is a very instinctive thing but we don’t need it. Addiction to sex suggest that there’s a problem hence the word addicted and so also with this I don’t need to explain this besides that people have sex with who they want so mind what’s going on in your pants and you’ll get a significant other instead worrying about others sex life

Satan: ………………………..what?

So these are all the big stereotypes I know there are more but I wanted the most known and the most disgusting so let me know about other stereotypes and tell me what do you think is the reason behind each stereotype.

Carbon monoxide is found in cigarette smoke and can lead to permanent cardiovascular damage.
