Do you have any tips for keeping fluency in a language when you Are fluent want to begin learning other languages?
Thank you anon for this question! Yes, I do, although I am fluent only in two languages so it's not very hard. If you live in a foreign country, keeping fluency is not difficult. But if you don't, I hope this tips will help you with maintaining fluency!
I'm looking for resources for my target language in my second language
I'm learning Spanish now and instead of Polish-Spanish dictionary I'm using English-Spanish dictionary.
When I started learning Japanese I found Spanish speaking YouTubers who talked about Japan and Japanese.
Use vocabulary lists in your second - target language or native - second - target language
Search for the grammar descriptions in the language most similar to the one you're learning
Polish and Latin both have declensions and conjugations so learning Latin in Polish is far easier than learning it in English which doesn't have cases. So choose wisely ;)
Firstly and most importantly, think in your second language, instead of your native language
That's so important and can be done anytime. Requires maybe a little bit more brain power but that's worth it. (And if you can't think in the language, how are you even fluent?)
Use a language on a daily basis
Do the shopping list, count, say hi and thanks to your friends in that language, read the news etc.
Read!!!
Read in that language - news, books, newspapers, literally anything will do. I have this privilege that my second language is English and nowadays on internet almost everything is in English. But if it's not the case for you, try to follow more people on social media that post in your second language. If you check wikipedia for something, do this in your second, third language.
Listen
Listen to the radio, podcast. Watch movies, YouTube, TV. Anything will do ;)
Write (optional)
If you keep a diary or a planner, write in your second language. On Tumblr you can write posts in your second language (and hope that if you make mistakes someone will correct you).
***I use most of these tips on a daily basis and I would say that my English is quite alright 😅 If I discover something new, I'll add it on!***

This was the first method of sigil making I ever learned, from a post by @the-darkest-of-lights. I decided to make my own tutorial on it with my spare time. Happy sigil making! I’ll be making more of these on other methods of sigil making I think, because there’s so many different methods, and this was quite enjoyable to make. (I know that you can make sigils with the other various planetary numerology squares but honestly I still haven’t figured out how, I only know this one.)
“My Heart Heals”
Keep this sigil under your mattress. Most healing happens during sleep. This sigil will help aid in the healing of your heart over time. You could also carry it around with you if you wanted to.
“I Am Motivated”
Draw this on yourself on a pulse point (with non-toxic marker) to help keep you motivated.
Full Moon Invocation
I release all that which is not mine.
I release all obstacles to my path.
I release limiting beliefs.
I release fears and doubts.
I release those relationships that no longer serve my higher good.
I release attachment to outcome.
I release externalized desire.
I release pain and suffering as a means to growth.
I release all that which is no longer in alignment with my highest self for the greatest good.
every moment is a brand new moment. every millisecond you shift into a new reality. what was your present moment just a few seconds ago is now past. what you were identifying with a few seconds ago is now past.
NOW is all there is. the past and future don't exist outside of your imagination. you can't see them in your 3d. they are nothing but stories. they have no power.
if you keep identifying with your old story, you're feeding the past and keeping it alive. it keeps coming to you like a boomerang. to destroy the pattern you need to cut the past of. it's not you. you are brand new.
that's also why every manifestation is inherently instant. because everything is inherently instant. everything is inherently brand new.
even if you don't see clear movement in your 3d instantly, it doesn't mean the movement is not happening. with every millisecond, with every reality you shift through you are becoming more and more the person who has your desires and your 3d is reshaping itself as well.
through persistence, you keep reclaiming your new identity. the fastest way to get to the end is to think from the end and claim it.
if you think that instant manifestations are not possible for you, that's only because you're identifying with that. if you start seeing yourself as an instant manifestor your 3d will pick it up and reflect it to you. but you have persist in this new identity. once again, think from the end and you'll get there fastest.
it's a paradox. but it works.

{Notes} This spell is to be done on a full moon, at midnight exactly. Be sure to make cakes and ale in preparation for a nice hot meal afterwards.
Cast a circle and cleanse. Recently I have really been enjoying cleansing by sound, so a bell or chimes will do, along with a burning incense. To calm myself for this spell, I make a sweet jasmine moon tea, which I will upload the recipe in my next post.
Light your candle and wait for the candle wax to start dripping. Infuse each ingredient you put into the spell jar with intent and visualization on what you want the spell to specifically do for you. One at a time drop them into the bottle.
“ At moonlight doth be told,
my power shall be bold.
My eyes are shared by the wolves,
my fire is with the foxes in the woods.
Energy bestowed from my higher self,
may turn me into gold.”
You can say any incantation you’d like. Seal the jar with the black candle wax, and set it outside for the night of the full moon. Shake the jar to activate it, and carry it on your person, it can range in size depending on how much of an influence you want.
{ My experiences with this spell }
I personally love this spell on how it makes me feel. Every-time I activated, or redid this spell, someone would make a comment on my appearance that day. The first day was a werewolf, the second, a siren.
Everyday it was a new mystical creature, even though I had done nothing new with my appearance. This spell is very powerful if done right, and will the right energies so make sure you thoroughly cleanse your tools before and after.
Happy casting!
And blessed be ~ Angel…
BEAUTY AND ATTRACTION SPELL
As you may know, traditionally most of the spells were made by witches over water or salt. Here is a spell that is performed over a bowl of water in the morning, during waxing or full moon. Then the water is used for face washing.
The spell:
Sister Water, beautiful maiden, you run under earth, under sand, through fields and forests, between steep banks and people's houses. Everyone loves and honors you, Water, everyone praises and drinks you, Water. So am I loved and praised. Pure is water, pure am I, pure is my beauty. Water is washing my face giving me unearthy beauty. The Water was simple and became enchanting, now I enchant everyone.
Is that true that witches don't age? It depends on the practices. Some necro (cemetery) practices make witches look even older than their real age.
you know what, every blog talks about how easy it is to manifest but what they dont talk about is how much discipline you have to have to look past your current circumstances and just completely trust that everything will work out and you’re not deluding yourself. to be manifesting something for a while and seeing no movement whilst other people seem to have overnight success is HARD. it is downright heart breaking and frustrating and upsetting because here you are putting in all this work and here they are just thinking of it once and it manifests. i just want you guys to really realise that everyone is on their own journey. while it might click for some straight away, it may take others a bit longer, and that’s okay! never ever compare your manifestation journey to anyone else’s. just know that if you are struggling right now, if you think manifestation is a load of bs and you’re being lead on, just know that you’re not alone. it is okay to struggle, it is okay to not understand manifesting straight away. it is okay to ~fail~ a few times before it finally seems to click. I just want you all to know that you’re not alone on this journey and to never beat yourself up for your lack of progress. you discovered the law for a reason. you are on this journey for a reason and you WILL succeed. whether it takes tomorrow, or the next day or the day after that, you WILL get there. just take it one day at a time and do your best. love you all and if this post helped even one person out there, then ive done my job <3 look after yourselves 🤍
i think the problem with ppl who "fail" to manifest and vent here is that they're not truly living in the end. they're doing all the techniques "hoping" and "expecting" they'd get their desires.
to live in the end, go to your imagination. imagine the end and live in there. it's like day dreaming but you know it's real bc it feels real. live in there until it feels natural and normal. and because inner reality outflows to external reality just like how water flows when the cup is full, it has to be projected in 3d
also one more thing is that you're not manifesting the thing you desire because nothing exists outside of you. instead, you're manifesting the state of consciousness of having it.
you're not manifesting your dream body. you're manifesting the mindset/the state of consciousness of the person who already has your dream body. this is why your focus should always be on the inside. you're not manifesting something on the outside, you're manifesting the state of consciousness of the person who ALREADY has it!!! go to your imagination. live in the end. imagine better than the best you know. it'll be in 3d before you know because 3d is a bluetooth connected to your imagination.
baby this is absolutely EXCELLENT thank you!

no because manifesting is actually the easiest thing ever. like you just set the intention and assume that you have something and you’re done. you’re literally done
when manifesting time doesn’t even exist so why assume that it takes time for our results to show up in the 3d? we could have them right here right now but still decide to doubt ourselves
in my experience, i’ve never considered time and never gave it too much importance. i just knew i already had my results and boom! they would (and still do) show up instantly in my 3d. why? because i said so. because i assumed so. and everything i and we assume becomes reality instantly
there’s no such thing as ‘i can’t do this’ ‘i can’t do that’, we can do anything! literally anything. and it’s the easiest thing we can do. like, we just have to think that we have something and it is ours
manifesting consciously is just so beautiful and fun and it would be ten times better if we would just stop doubting ourselves and relying on physical evidence
we’re capable of doing anything and when i say anything, i mean it. we don’t need methods, we don’t need to affirm 24/7, all we need is our assumptions and our assumptions are always our reality
i just wish everyone would just chill about manifestation and not worry whether they can do something or not, because nothing is impossible, we’re literally the gods of our own realities. we know that we can manifest whatever we want consciously, so why not start now? why would we keep thinking and looking back at our past and let it affect us? why would we care about circumstances?
our true reality is the 4d and whatever lives in our 4d will show up in our 3d, no matter what
☁️🌷🎀🩰🫖🐷🌸💗
the law is real like very real and works. it is extremely easy to apply and to win. once i understood that i am god, creation is finished and there is no action needed my whole world flipped for the better. i basically decided that there is no point in worries fears or doubts and just said that they are no longer apart of my life and they haven’t been ever since.
yes, it really is this easy and simple. you don’t have to take action, you don’t have to lift one finger, you don’t have go through a bridge of incidents and you don’t have to wait. the 3d is changing every single second and is malleable like putty. actually there is no time, there is only now the present moment. so when you decide you want something you now have it in your reality, you have already shifted to the reality where it exists and where you have it in the flesh.
be bold. be confident. be brave. just be. this is all really magical and beautiful. this is what we are here on this earth to do. fulfill our desires and all of our wishes. decide that your life is full of blessings, miracles and magic everyday. decide that everything only goes your way. decide that you are just built different and are the exception and you somehow always get what you desire in the 3d in less than a day. decide that you have special powers that allow you to always win and succeed. this doesn’t have to be boring. i believe all of this. i believe blessings miracles and magic fill my whole entire life. i believe i’m built different and somehow just do everything right and constantly win. i believe my life is a magical fairytale because it is and why not?
i do not feel guilt jealousy or regret because it’s a waste of time when i know i am god the creator of my reality. i dwell in love, happiness, joy, knowingness, fulfillment and calmness.
since i am living my fairytale magical life, that means everyone else can too. i’m stubborn and impatient but i used this to my advantage. i took those two traits and worked with it. i’m stubborn and impatient, not in a whiny 6 year old way but in a ‘i am in full control and this is my fate to always succeed and my life be my haven every second of everyday’. and do you wanna know what? it freaking worked rapidly fast like crazy fast. it all went smoothly because i let it happen smoothly.
this is your life. no one else has any say on how you decide to live it. everyone is you pushed out right? we are all one! so decide that the people in your life support you and your decisions and it will just make everything easier. they don’t make the decisions for you but it will make you feel better to know no matter what you are supported. i did this with my parents and siblings i decide that they support me with everything. i didn’t have to do that but it makes it easier.
life is this easy. life is beautiful. life is full of magic. life is absolutely amazing for me and i want it all for you too. simplify it for yourself. you have everything right now and more. you are already in your perfect reality.
i am never disappointed
everything goes my way
i have faith trust and lots of pixie dust
my physical world is perfect beautiful and magical
i have proven to myself that it is easy
only good things happen to me
everything gets handed to me like i am royalty
☁️🌷🎀🩰🫖🐷🌸💗
I don’t think LOA blogs talk about manifesting this easily, but I’ll break it down for the overthinkers.
that’s it. creation’s finished. the 4D is the real reality. the 3D is only a reflection. you say you have it in the 4d? Boom, it appears in the 3d instantly.
Knowing this, you live in the end. Living in the end JUST MEANS YOU UNDERSTAND YOUR DESIRES ARE A FACT. That’s it. Done. LOA in a single post.
Time doesn’t FUCKING exist. Hell the bitch isn’t even linear. Don’t even think of it. It’s DONE. Live in the present. Live WITH your desire, not WITHOUT it.
Believed by some historians to be the first ever form of fortunetelling, pyromancy is divination by means of fire.
Pyromancy delivers messages through visions that form in the flames, and through the behavior of the flame itself. In essence, pyromancy is a sibling of scrying and phyllomancy.
From the reign of paganism to the rule of monotheism, fire has always been treated as sacred.
In Greco-Roman mythology, fire was owned by the gods. When Prometheus gave it to us, he was punished for theft, until Zeus gave Hercules permission to release him from torment.
In the Abrahamic religions, fire signifies God’s presence, as seen in the burning bush story. The Holy Spirit too is visually represented by a tongue of fire over the head of a believer.
In paganism and witchcraft, the practice of nature worship, and even in some modern alternative spiritual paths, fire is one of the four elements. It is Earth’s blessed instrument.
Hence fire is seen as a hallowed, natural conduit towards one’s higher power.
Since pyromancy developed and was practiced independently in many regions, such as the Roman Empire, Mesopotamia and China, it has many variations. But this is the most common.
It must be as big as a campfire. Create a large surface, from which the visions will appear. It must also be outdoors, so that the wind can interact with it.
Do it at the witching hour, when there is unlikely to be any disturbances, and when the old gods are more eager to listen.
While gazing into the fire, summon your higher power solemnly, and state your question clearly.
Some people cast animal bones or turtle shells into the fire. Others prefer salt or bay leaves.
In my family, we use what is relevant to our query. A box of chocolates when asking about romance. Old test papers when inquiring about an exam.
If you asked a yes or no question, the flame or smoke rising high means yes; minimal movement means maybe, or it is yet to be written; and steady movement means no.
If you asked a timing question, the flame or smoke rising high means soon; minimal movement means a long time from now; and downward movement means it is not fated to happen.
If you asked about someone’s feelings for you or the possibility of a dream coming true, a lively fire means positive emotions and fulfilled expectations; while calm movement means something lukewarm or uncertain.
Direct your gaze towards the bottom of the fire. While focusing on your question in your mind, slowly unfocus your eyes. This places you in a trance, inviting the visions to come in.
Your answer could be straightforward, such as a vision of you in a wedding gown, being married to the one you asked about.
Or it could be along metaphorical lines, such as a vision of a huge trophy confirming your academic, athletic or emotional victory.
Once you have received your response, thank your higher power, then the element of fire for helping deliver the answer.
Then drown the fire with water.
Simple. Anything sent by an occult being in your dream must be something you absolutely could not have known about. That’s it.
After I asked my divine parent Venus if my significant other truly is my soulmate, I dreamt of him giving me a bouquet of white flowers.
Now I have been very open with my followers about how in my entire family, I have the weakest botanical mastery. In fact, I did not even know the name of the flowers I saw. I thought they were tulips at first. I had to describe them to my mother. She was the one who told me what they were. Calla lilies.
So then I explored our family journals. And one of them revealed to me that calla lily was Juno’s flower originally.
But Venus was so annoyed by its beauty that she cursed the flower so it would grow an ugly spike in the middle.
However, when Mars saw it, he told her that the flower is a perfect portrait of the two of them: The white petal looks as exquisite as her, and the spike in the middle looks as tenacious as him.
So Venus claimed the modified flower as hers and Mars’.
Today, the calla lily’s white petal represents feminine chastity, while its spike symbolizes masculine virility. Together, they personify a couple’s devotion and their union’s fertility. That is why white calla lilies are a bride favorite.
They are also commonly seen in funerals. Because they are a pledge that the one who was left will rejoin the departed in the next life… as soulmates do.
You see, that knowledge is not something my subconscious could have dug out of my mind. Because never in my life did anyone, any book or any material at all share such information with me before.
But if the flowers I saw in my dream had been say, roses, I would not have believed so quickly that it was Venus’ response to my query. Because I know for certain that roses are a Venusian symbol.
Apply the same principle to your own dreams.
If you saw a godlike presence defending you from beasts, do not immediately believe the divinity of it, if earlier that day you were watching The Karate Kid. Perhaps that was just your subconscious weaving Mr. Miyagi’s teachings into your dreams.
mayaaaa, ik ik okay what im ab to say is really controversial and bad and im sorry, and its okay if u reply rudely to me or get mad i understand. but have you ever experienced or seen irl a MAJOR physical appearance change? it is so motivating to see anons getting their df and db and just being fully confident in themselves. and a lot of them talk about how they look SO much diff and stuff! but when i see bloggers post actual pics about their "drastic" change, it is always a small difference that IS there im not denying it, but could easily be posing/angles/lighting changes/water weight fluctuations, etc etc bc of how small it is. im just asking if you've ever seen a physical appearance change that a) isn't just makeup and b) is super drastic like people outside of the loa community could easily tell she looks like a totally different person. im sorry ik you're probably reading this thinking im a bitch, i just want an answer.
why are you depending on other peoples results so much? and yes me ive experienced a massive change to the point where all people did was compliment me. but again, you dont need approval from others actually go and do it yourself.
“blocks” imply there’s a separation between you and your desire but you are the source, you create everything. hence (unknowingly or knowingly) only you decide whether you are able to get your manifestation or not, it is all dependent on you and you only. so right now, start knowing that whatever you desire is yours and nothing can affect that. tweet credits @/itslitrllymine on twitter

Music Magick ✨
So, I've been learning about types of Magick, and recently (tbh Apollo an Hermes kept sending signals to my face since years before now) I learned about Music Witches/Sorcerers and It made a lot of sense to me, I remember growing up going to Azapa each summer, a valley in the North of Chile, the night was really scary for me, specially going up the stairs to my bedroom, because the stairs were outside the house and my family used to tell a lot of demon and ghost stories or abduction tales about other children in the valley. But my grandma told me that spirits and entities where scared of people singing, because a song is 2 times more powerful than a prayer. So every time I got scare I started singing out loud, then I started putting music to clean the energies, and my family always claps when they're trying to tell "someone" to go off our home. Also, I don't know who taught me this, but every time I want to protect myself I snap my fingers and do shapes in the air snapping, like triangles or squares in the air.
So what's a Music Witch or Sorcerer?
A person that works with music, rhythm and sound. It could play an instrument, sing chants, hum, clap, or simply use playlist or music for intention setting during spellwork or rituals to channel/focus their energy. Music workers have the ability to spell cast with their music, make all music magical, get messages through music, communicate with spirits with music, elevate the vibrations of people or rooms with sound; and usually are people that listen to music constantly and have a good ear for it.
