The village's Witch

I'm studying animal management currently, and in order to pass the course I need to write an academic paper on any topic within the animal care field. I chose black cat bias because, as a witch, the stigma always confused me.

The problem is, I need to collate more responses from people who practice witchcraft in order to compare witchy animal opinions to those of non-witches. My current sample size is far too small to be usable.

The survey can be found here.

Data Protection Stuff: E-mail addresses are not collected and will not be viewed by anyone other than Google's storage servers. You must sign in to ensure the authenticity of the response (1 per person). These responses will be shared as pie charts with myself, and the UK awarding body City of Guilds for grading.

Please work your magic, witchblr.

🌙Simple Everyday Things You Can Do For Protection

What are some simple things that you do that you think would help another witch?

🌙My list of daily or easy practices requires little to no prep-work

•Use a protection plant ally like a witch's burr, cloves, thorns, motherwort, black pepper, garlic, or onion. Close your eyes and place your plant ally in your hands. Ask the spirit of the plant if they will offer you protection to see you through the day. Carry it with you.

•Alternatively, you can also use crystals. My go to combo is black tourmaline and red jasper!

•Use a protection archetype tarot card like the Nine of Wands. Nine of Wands, for myself, symbolizes boundaries and protection when it comes to our growth/life path. Place it on your altar with intention since it is a portal to our intentions, our guides, and the liminal, or carry on your person.

•Smoke cleanse the thresholds in your home, yourself, and your loved ones. I personally like rosemary and lavender for this purpose.

•As you leave an offering for your guides/ancestors/deities during your daily conversation with them ask them for their help when it comes to protection.

how kind you are

how hard you’re working

how much rest you’re giving yourself

how much your friends love you

how funny you are

how good you are at baking bread

how many dirty dishes you did even when it was hard

the things you’ve suffered that you’re still having to carry around

how nice your shampoo smells
