Very inspired by this post by @stardewspellshed to make a spell farm. However, I started one in Fields of Mistria because a) that is what I'm playing right now and b) (SPOILER) there is a dragon statue on your farm that is alive and will give you magic.

I called my farm Spellsong Farm 🩷

So i have reason to assume you’d know what you’re talking about. Please help me

From, a very confused baby witch 😅

in short it's people worshipping TV and video game characters!

Pop culture deities are spirits that have their source and lore from some form of pop culture media like movie, TV show, book, anime, etc. This is usually based on the idea of egregores, which are believed to be spirits that came from people's collective thoughts (you think about something so hard it becomes real kinda vibe.)

Usually this means people adopt the pantheon from the source (like I do with Hyrulean pantheon) and/or with shows without direct deities, add the characters to their pantheons. It's not much different from venerating folk heroes and saints. A lot of people who identify as otherkin (believing to be non-human including animals, characters, and mythical creatures) use pop culture magic to connect with their other lives.

I hope that helps!!

I’m sorry to bother you but recently I’ve been trying to get into tech magic using video games, and I’m having trouble with spells specifically. With games such as Stardew Vally, the one I’m trying to plan for, it seems that there are certain limitations to work with, and I was wondering if you had any advice on spell work in video games

Have a good day/night/evening!✨💐🍡🍯

never a bother I love answering questions!!

I will admit thiugh, I have only seen like one or two live streams of Stardew valley so anyone who has played it feel free to add on to this post with more specific info!! (so a lot of this is going to be more based on stuff I do in Animal Crossing)

Stardew Valley is a good game to use though, especially if you understand how video games work (especially ones that are RPG maker style). Video games are great for manifestation because games are wired to have things constantly going on in the background even if you aren't there, so games are good at keeping things active in the spiritual space.

Since crops are a big thing in this game, you can use those for spells! Most plants have magic properties and you can assign the same meanings digitally. For instance, Corn is great to use for abundance spells, sun spells, has associations with PLENTY of deities. You can assign each crop its magic properties and that way when you water, tend, and harvest this crop, you are working on the spell. Not selling all your corn and keeping a little stashed a way is a easy type of 'money jar', add a little more to the inventory each time, etc. Planting crops in certain formations (example, corn and potatoes to protect your money and keep yourself grounded and stabilized)

(I don't know if this works in Stardew valley) but organizing your inventory can be like a spell jar. You can arrange your crops and plants into a specific order (by colour, type) in your inventory as a digital spell jar. You can also use Sigils to design crop and flower beds! It doesn't have to be extravagant, maybe planting corn in a circle to keep abundance flowing and noving, squares to keep it protected. Same can be done with ore/crystals. If you can cook, that's basically a spell right there!

Most of my villagers in animal crossing have a spirit semi assigned to them (mostly based on personality) and so when I give gifts to them I like to think it's going to the spirit as well. For instance, Raymond reminds me of one of my spirit guides, so I give him gifts and make sure to finish any quests he gives me to keep that connection! I know building friendships is a big part of Stardew Valley as well, and that can be applied as an IRL friendship/relationship spell!

Colour magic is also pretty big with video games when you can't exactly put whatever you want in the game. If you're trying to do a love spell maybe plant strawberries, tulips, rhubarb (red and pink plants) in a heart, or manifest that as you water them your love grows or that the flowers attract love. Changing clothes colours as well is a big thing for me (I change my outfit in acnh for basically any new task I'm doing, same as botw).

Basically, follow the rules of as above, so below. Whatever you might do IRL with the plants/animals and all their associations can be applied to the video game as well!

I could really do something Magical ™️ with that!
