I've a quick question for you, as I've an article that's been sitting in my drafts for a bit that I haven't decided on posting yet. I'd love to hear your input!
Would you enjoy a 'Summer Ones' article like my 'Winter Ones' articles (which would be folkloric and mythological figures associated with summer and their tales?)

Summer, typically associated with sunshine, rising temperatures, and plenty of outdoor fun and activities, is a season abundant with powerfu
Summer, typically associated with sunshine, rising temperatures, and plenty of outdoor fun and activities, is a season abundant with powerful plant allies for magical workings. With delicious fruits that can aid in love and luck work, vegetables that are rife with symbolism or the perfect tools in sympathetic magic, and an array of flowers for protecting, purifying, and more, this bountiful season is one that shouldn’t be overlooked by practitioners of witchcraft, no matter what path they follow.
In this piece, you’ll find a collection of some of summer’s offerings for plant allies and suggestions on how they may be used.

You're always sending me lovely little asks to see when I come back from Shabbos, so I wanted to thank you for that, my friend, and return the kindness!
I hope you've had such a beeeeeaaaaauuuutiful Shabbos!! You deserve the world!

Practical Magic: Everyday Items You Can Use in Witchcraft, Part I

PART I
One common misconception about witchcraft is that it must require tools, plants, and magical allies that are difficult to come by. This certainly is the case in some works, but it needn’t be. Witchcraft should be both accessible and adaptable to meet the needs of the practitioner, and the witch’s toolset should be the same. There are countless everyday tools and allies that one can put to good use in magical craft, with such items lying around the house or readily available at your local grocery store, hardware store, or even dollar store, and not enough witchcraft resources take the time to show these types of tools the love and appreciation they deserve.

"...magic should be both accessible and versatile, and our tools and allies should reflect the need for both. It is my hope that a practitioner never feels defeated because they can’t afford expensive magical supplies, or because they have limited or no access to metaphysical or witchcraft shops, apothecaries, or the like. One’s magical craft can, indeed, thrive without all of that. After all, magic and witchcraft has always existed, before drop shippers and international delivery services, before influencers, before bloggers, podcasters, and publishers. Magic was always there and could always be worked, and that has never changed and never will."

I'm not going to lie...the person lying in my tags, alluding to my friends/wife and I chasing them off a blog or having something to do with whatever message they received has gotten under my skin. I did recognize that person's name (not url, which was a different URL at the time) and picture (at the time, they had themselves as their icon) as someone I had previous bad history with. And, yes, I removed their replies from my post last year because of that. And since the only homemaking tag that was recommended to me was theirs, I stayed out of that tag and looked for one that wasn't being used instead. But that was last year and that was the extent of any connection between our blogs. I didn't even block them. All of us have very literally gone out of our way to ignore and avoid this person. To just tag a bunch of people (one of whom doesn't even know you, the other two who have just stayed out of your way when they notice you because of previous experience) in something like that and allude to them stalking and harassing you when they are avoiding you in the most wide-berth way possible is just so malicious and rude. Especially when you block them all first so they can't see it but other people can see it when they search for their blogs.
