I Can't Believe In The Year 2024 We Are Still Having To Remind People Not To Put Essential Oils On Their

Internet witches please learn your stuff before you recommend consuming or putting onto skin things that can potentially kill somebody, difficulty level very much impossible, apparently.

The Witch of the forest

Saw this, thought of us 😂

Whoa there, pardner! What have you done to make sure that belief or practice actually originates in ancient times and didn't come from the imagination of a repressed Victorian romantic?

I wish people understood that "folk magic" isn't just another homogenous flavor or type of magic, it's literally unique and different depending upon where you are in the world. Every culture and belief system will have folk magic and practices. They aren't 1:1. Some will have similar or overlapping elements, sure, but they're unique to where they come from and who they're practiced by, to the degree that two different individuals in the same area from the same culture could have completely different practices and methods. Often they lack larger structures and systems.

i downloaded vinted today and didn't realise the expanse of used crystals available here. this is a much better option as you are not buying into the unsustainable practices of mining.

i will say, i haven't always bought crystals from sustainable places. but now that i have lessened my crystal purchasing, and limited my purchasing to sustainable sources, vinted seems like a great option.

practical guide to intuitive reading.

grab a collection of something. stones, cards, colours etc. use whatever you have.

shuffle them around.

pick out three.

look at the first one. who is the little guy? give it a name, a character arc, a story element, a real element. give it a list of associations.

now look at the second one. who is this?

and the third too.

now look at the order. what happens when you tell the story start to finish? fill in the blanks.

write it down, or voice record it. tell the story. make it funny, or dramatic, or emotional. give it feeling, and oomf.

what does this story say about you? what kind of person must the narrator of such a story be? do you like that person?

you can read anything, because the story comes from you. humans are just stories in flesh.

whenever i get sad that i don’t have friends to worship and do rituals with, I remember that birds sing love songs into the sky everyday, and the grass dances in the wind when it blows. And the clouds blush at the sunset, and the wind whistles tunes, and the bees hum, and the deer trot. And then I remember that the river runs, and the flowers open themselves to the sun, and the bugs sleep on warm leaves. and as I walk and pray, perhaps the rabbits nibbling on shrubs are praying too, perhaps that’s why the spider spun her web so beautifully. and then I remember that I’m not worshipping alone. I never was.
