When i was a kid and starting on my own magical practice separate to what my parents did, i was immedately pissed off by correspondences.

"This item/concept is equatable to/has this energy/is related to this day/god/planet/rock/color" i'd ask why and the answer would be "because! Its ~aLwAyS~ been like this! Its ~mAgIC~!!" And itd piss me off!!

Spent a huge part of my magical life just eating up any information, sources and perspectives on magic i could because of how heavily subjective it is to culture and to individual.

Only recently did i learn about the Neoplatonist concept of synthemata and it FINALLY clicked. I was already becoming aware of why and how correspondences were so subjective, and had already started working on my own chart, but now instead of being a lil kid asking "why why why" until i get a satisfying enough answer, i realized i can just look at it like fucking yes-anding. Anything can be related, but you gotta be CONVINCING with it - thats the intent piece.

Example: a spell says it needs gold and you dont have gold and you dont want to use foil or plastic that looks like gold. Potato chips.

Evidence for my case: potato chips are made from three base things: potato, oil, salt.

• The humble potato comes from the ground, very good.

• The oil more often than not is a canola/soy/sunflower/etc oil. The usual vegetable oils are from p solar aligned plants.

• And then salt, protection but also historically wealth.

Magic in the Margins: The May 31, 2026 Blue Micromoon

We are standing on the precipice of a rare and beautifully intense celestial event. On May 31, 2026, the night sky will host a Calendrical Blue Moon.

When a single calendar month is gifted with two full moons, the second is historically and modernly dubbed a “Blue Moon.” Because May 2026 began with the Flower Moon on May 1st, we close out the month with this bonus lunation. Adding to this night’s unique magic, this specific lunation is technically a micromoon—occurring at apogee, the point in the moon’s orbit farthest from Earth.

Though she may look about 10% dimmer and 6% smaller to the naked eye, don’t let the physical distance fool you. In witchcraft, a Blue Moon represents an amplification of power, a celestial wildcard, and a potent time for manifestation, absolute closures, and spiritual course corrections.

I am someone who struggles off and on with brakes from my hobbies and interests due to mental illness and execute function struggles. this included my spirituality. I quite enjoy the mundane and everyday bits and pieces of magic and craft and wish to incorporate it more into my life I feel, as a frequent coffee drinker, that I bringing intent into my daily beloved drink.

Aside from being edible and invasive, I don't know much about this plant, but one has popped up in my yard. I'm going to remove it (because invasive) but I wanted to know if anyone knew of a correspondence or use for garlic mustard other than eating it. I'm thinking it smells like garlic and it's very good at propagating itself, so it probably has protective and determined/stubborn properties. If I didn't feel so strongly about removing invasive plants, I would probably ask the living plant to help with protection. It's right by the fence, too, which would make it a great guard.
