Peaceful home spell

A simple spell to soften relationships inside a home ( wether it be with family or roommates ), and bring peace and trust.

What you'll need :

※ A white, brown or blue sachet ( to set the energy )

※ Moonstone, opale and/or pearl stones ( to bring peace and mother-like energy )

※ Lavender ( to avoid conflicts and calm minds )

※ A paper and a blue pen

※ Optional : a white or blue candle

How to make it :

○ Light your candle if you have it and meditate calmly

○ Write down your intention for the home you live in. I personally wrote something along the lines of "peace and trust surround my family and I". Chant it or meditate on it, as you wish, then fold it up.

○ Put the paper in the sachet with the crystal(s) and lavender, bless it and put it wherever you'd like in the household ( be careful though if you place it near the fireplace ! )

Blessed be ! 🔮

HP 101: Where to start

Hellenic Polytheism can be a bit daunting to start off - and it’s hard to know where to find the right information or what to research! Hopefully this post will help to give you a starting point - but please don’t base all your information off of one person! NOTE: I may link posts with conflicting information/methods. I leave it to you to decide what feels right and fits for you!

Updated October 2019, all links should be working.

Websites, book lists and PDFs:

Hey if you’re schizophrenic/psychotic I just want you to know that you’re a wonderful person and that you deserve so much better than the demonization, marginalization and stigmatization you face in this society.

Please consider reblogging this/other positivity posts for schizophrenic/psychotic people every once in a while. If you have more than 100 followers, odds are that a couple of them experiences psychosis and that they rarely see positivity posts for people with their symptoms.

always reblog.

The four different types of tarot readings

1.) You ask your deck a question. It gives you the complete opposite of what you want.

2.) MTV Roasts: starring you and your tarot deck.

3.) Me: hey tarot, I need to know what steps I should take in order to do the thing.

Tarot: You should do the thing.

4.) You draw five death cards. You only have one deck.

Month of Spreads 2 Discontinuation

I originally thought I'd return to this challenge when I felt a little better. Of course, the moment I began to feel better, I was in a car accident. As I take the time to heal from the accident, I will not likely have the energy to read my cards. This is upsetting to me, but shit happens. Maybe next time.

I’m watching Kitchen Nightmares and I realized I’m basically Gordon Ramsey when I’m in someone’s space and they’re complaining about bad energy, like

“When was the last time these crystals were charged?”

“Do you not cleanse your space? Look at all this spiritual build up! Don’t you dare tell me you cleansed this!”

“Malachite next to carnelian? No wonder you can’t sleep and you’re eating everything you noodle!”

you’ll kill someone

The real official sacred laws of witchcraft

I want to print all these out and glue them in different sections of my Grimoire. Also want to save them in case someone sends me messages about rules or morals in Witchcraft I don’t ascribe to.

When I explain cultural misappropriation to children, I use the example of The Nightmare Before Christmas.  

It’s effective because especially for children, who don’t have enough historical context to understand much of the concept, you can still fully grasp the idea.  

There was nothing wrong with Jack seeing the beauty and differences in Christmas town, it’s when he tried to take what is unique about Christmas town away from those it originally belonged to without understanding the full context of Christmas things is when everything went wrong.

When Jack tries to get the folk of Halloween town to make Christmas gifts for children, etc., children understand that the Halloween town folk do not have the full context for the objects they are making, and they are able to see that the direct repercussions and consequences are very harmful.

what i like about this is the implication that if jack had taken the time to understand christmas town, bringing christmas to halloween town would not have been harmful. that’s how it works, folks. cultural sharing is GOOD, it’s only misappropriation when it’s done in ignorance and disrespect.

There’s an interesting level here in that Jack tried to understand Christmas town. He could see the magic while he was there, and he did try to explain it that way to citizens of Halloween town.  But they weren’t interested in the kind of life he was describing, so he started “rebranding” Christmas so that it was not like Christmas but was like Halloween. The people of Halloween town, never having actually encountered Christmas, have no way of knowing that what they’re being told about Christmas and “Sandy Claws” is inaccurate. Jack also tried to study Christmas and its culture, though he couldn’t quite get it; eventually, he literally decides to take it for himself, even as he knows it’s not really for him.  He started out feeling sad the others in Halloween town didn’t ‘get it,’ but he then decided it’s not important to fully ‘get it’ but instead to have it.

So it’s not just accidentally removing things form their context; he has intentionally disregard the meaning of the rituals he purports to be recreating, making them more fun for the recreaters but not like what the rituals are supposed to be and without the related significance.

This is the best way to conceptualize the wrong way to share culture I have ever seen and I think I finally get where people are coming from when they talk about “cultural appropriation.”

This is an EXCELLENT explanation through example!

This is PERFECT. I’m using this in my classroom.

Real Talk : The Wiccan Rede & Witch Codes

Unpopular Opinion Incoming 

Anytime someone mentions the rede and me following it, I think they’re ignorant as fuck.  Anytime someone brings up the rede and tries to use it as a behavioral code for others, I think they’re beyond ignorant and have touched stupid.  

For this rare occasion, I’m going to say that I’ve been a studying, practicing witch for well over a decade.  There was one time when I followed the rede; when I thought there was no other choice because all the books I was reading said I had to.  But the thing is, I’ve never been Wiccan, always identified as a witch; so actually, I don’t have to do shit, kthnx.  As an abuser survivor, I don’t want to follow a code of ethics that makes it so I cannot fight back.  

When people go around citing Redes, Codes, etc, just stop please..  I am a witchblr, not a wiccanblr.  It allows these redes and codes to be forced on others and that is not what (as far as I believe) witchcraft is about.  For me, witchcraft is about empowering yourself, not making another live by your whims and wills.  

Remember: 

Your Rede, Your Moral Code, it is important, but you get to decide what it is.  You can even write it out for yourself in your BOS, just like I did.  Ethics are a complex issue, it is a case-by-case thing, definitely, and as you encounter things you can add onto your own personal code.  Witchcraft is a personal journey, and even if you already follow a code or the Rede, you can always make it your own by writing down how you prefer to handle certain situations.  NGL- I straight used a slight combination of 10 Commandments + The Eleven Satanic Rules of the Earth- is that complicated, maybe, but after I had my basic framework of ~10 easy ethical rules to follow it was easy to build onto it.

Tagging this for babywitches so that y’all do not feel like I did, and forced into a code of ethics that you do not fully believe in.

Day 9: Self Love Spread

Deck: Shadowscapes

Queen of Swords: I know who I am. I know my truth. I'm trying to remember that.

2. Is there any belief or idea I hold that is blocking my self-love?

Five of Pentacles: I'm going through some shit, and I'm only looking at the bad.

3. How can I overcome this blockage?

4.  How can I start cultivating more self-love into my life?

The Tower: Yes things seem to be falling apart, but it is necessary. I need to break a pattern and release my pent up emotions.
