Verity's Oddities

Thank you!

In all seriousness? Contact them first. Facilitate matters yourself.

If it's a person you're interested in talking to, text or send a message just to say hi and say that you hope their day is going well. If this initiates a conversation, keep things friendly and see how it goes.

If it's a prospective employer you've applied to, call and see if there's an update. This generally works best if it's been about a week since you interviewed.

In either case, be prepared that there may not be a positive answer...or any answer at all. If that happens, it's a good indication that you'll want to seek opportunities elsewhere, personally or professionally.

Magic is very helpful and you can certainly do up an attraction spell to try and draw in that communication, but it's really far more effective to just skip straight to the practicals in this particular case.

So I've answered this a couple times with previous posts, it's something I deem extremely important.

If it can be explained in a mundane way, it stops us from spiralling into a paranoia of 'everything is magical', 'this magical being is after me' etc.

Looking for mundane explanations keeps us grounded and level headed. Taking the time to search for logical reasoning is the most important thing you can do. It can help tackle any paranoia you may have towards spirits or entities that may or may not exist in your life.

I can hold my hands up and say that I have allowed the paranoia to eat me up before, and it isn't a good experience. It can lead to spiralling out of control. It's not good for your mental health to allow paranoia to manifest within you.

You've come to the right place sweetness. For clarity's sake I want to specify that I am not a professional. This is simply what I did to make the incense that I use. Always research your herbs and herbal mixtures, be aware of your allergies, and remember to use herbs from high quality sources to protect your health. And remember, the best witchcraft is safely practiced witchcraft.

What you'll need: Herb of choice (no correlations listed here, otherwise we will be here all night)

Coffee grinder (or a mortar and pestel, but baby we are in the 21st century work smarter not harder)

Tap water (charge it if you want for extra pizzazz)

Optional: oven, preheat to 190 degrees Fahrenheit

Step one: grind up your herbs in the coffee grinder, the finer the better. My herb was food grade lavender.

Step two: Divide the ground herb into two separate bowls, a wet bowl and a dry bowl. Into the wet bowl, mix into the herb with some water so the consistency is a modable clay. Sacred water is great for this.

Step three: Form the clay into a cone shape in any way that makes the most sense for your body. For me, that involves using my thumbs and middle fingers, but whatever way works best.

Roll the wet cone into the dry bowl, coating the cone in a layer of powdered lavender.

You can either leave the cone to dry over night, alternatively---

Place in oven for 40 minutes to an hour to dehydrate the cones!

Ta-da! I hope these directions inspire you to give this a shot yourself. I know I had a lot of fun making this lavendar incense, and I know I'm excited to make more in the future. Don't stop creating lovelies.
