Same thing as every year - BUSY!!!!

I used to try and dress up, but I always ended up just putting on some permutation of my witchy regalia. Plus I have to work that day and it's a big day for ritual and spellcasting, so there's not much point of trying to do anything elaborate.

Granted, for Halloween 2020, I did a pretty good Plague Crone....

Hello hello!

The Tarot Deck Collection Ask Game

18: Which deck would you purchase again if your current copy got too worn out to use?

Honestly? Most of them, except for my shame corner. But currently Abbot the Dragon Tarot and Silver the Silver Witchcraft Tarot are both on their way out and may need replacing. But those were my first two tarot decks, so they've been through the wringer these four (going on five) years.

Thanks for sending this in!

Oh wow...it's been so long that I don't really remember!

The first fullscale ritual I did was a banishing to help a friend get rid of some nonsense that someone had sent after her. It was sort of a thoughtform, I think? It wasn't distinct or particularly intelligent and it went pretty quickly. So that one was successful.

Most of my early spellwork had to do with protection or keeping people out of my space, which was moderately successful. Spells that I cast for more specific or less likely purposes didn't really work, but I had to test things, yanno?

You are SO welcome! I love them too, and I just had to share!

I never lived the legging life (ooo that’s some tasty alliteration) until I found Little Shop’s wares. I LOVE their patterns, and they actually have garments that fit me in all my bodacious glory. Like you said, no pinching, no itching, and they don’t ride down. I’m thoroughly enjoying them as a pop of color under my skirts or as comfy day-off apparel.

I’m going to be leggings and sweaters all winter long. This is my life now.

3. Favorite musical artist / group you started listening to this year?

11. Something you want to do again next year?

Hi! Thanks for the questions!

3. Oh hmm apart from a few singular songs I haven't really found any new music this year. Just listened to my usual stuff, as well as new albums from my favourite artists. BUT I think from the few singular new songs my favourite must be Caffeine by Mattstagraham. I've listened to that one quite a lot, it is such a mood.

9. What's something you're learning or exploring right now?

39. Do you follow any superstitions because they just feel right?

Hello there!

Witchblr Ask Game:

9. What's something you're learning or exploring right now?

If I'm being honest, I am mostly working on healing my inner child right now. I haven't been focused on my magical practice or even my worship as of late. My mental health has been at the forefront of my priorities for a while now. I have a lot of healing that needs done and it has been a lot of work to get where I am today. So I'm exploring more ways to heal myself, let go of the past, and grow as a person.

39. Do you follow any superstitions because they just feel right?

I follow the belief that finding pocket change is a sign from the deceased. For example, my paternal grandfather is said to send dimes instead of pennies (there is a particular story behind this). So any time we see dimes, we believe it is a sign that he is watching over us. I also believe that butterflies are another sign from the deceased. My family always thinks of my uncle when we see a butterfly. I think this is because we saw a lot of butterflies at his funeral. Another one is that bad luck/death comes in threes. This has sort of been reinforced throughout life. An example is that we had 3 deaths in less than a month earlier this year. It has always happened this way, so I am always preparing for things to go south when something truly bad happens.

Thanks for the ask!

Trains - if you could spend the fall anywhere, where would you go?

Hello there!

Autumn Asks:

Costume - do you like to dress up for Halloween? Do you have a go to costume?

My favorite part of Halloween has always been getting to dress up. My go to "costume" has been a variety of gothic vampire styles, put together with pieces of clothing I own. As a kid, I used Halloween as an excuse to wear my goth clothing because my parents weren't fond of me wearing them any other time of year.

Trains - if you could spend the fall anywhere, where would you go?

The Adirondack Mountains of upstate New York, where my late Nana used to live. I think it is the most beautiful place on Earth during this time of year!

Thanks so much for the ask!
