I Believe In Incorporating The Plants That Live And Grow Around You Into Your Spiritual Practice And

Black Hole Ring

This is a spell to create a ring that drains and absorbs high amounts of specific energy, holds it, and releases it at the caster’s will. It can be used on people, (which is primarily how I have used it) and there for may be classified as “dark magic.” However, you can use the ring however you feel comfortable/ however it fits your morals.

What you will need: -specific intent and programming for how you wish the ring to work. - a ring, preferably one with a gemstone or precious metal ornament (silver, copper, etc.) - a bowl - moon water - a clear quartz piece, preferably spherical, but a point will do. - five white candles (any size is fine) - a chain or string -lavender oil

The goal of the spell is to create a concentrated spiral/vortex of energy, and then lock this vortex to the ring. Place the quartz sphere in the bowl, and pour moon water in around it. Align the candles at equal distances from eachother around the bowl. Note: the reason a Quartz sphere is preferred over a point is because the energy of spherical gems moves in a circular motion around them. This will make it much easier to create the vortex. Before starting the spell, cleanse the ring thoroughly by whatever means you prefer. Next, tie one end of your chain to the ring (like a pendulum.) Dangle the ring over the Quartz sphere at the center of the bowl. Now, as you program the ring with intent, you are going to swing it in a clockwise circle. Because this is a very powerful tool, you need to be EXTREMELY specific with instructions for how the ring will function. Here I will give you some basic instructional ideas to make sure the ring works as safely as possible; - state a specific finger the ring must be on and hand motion that must be made in order to open the vortex and absorb energy. For instance: “to drain energy from the target, twirl it clockwise on the pointer finger.” Note: While using the ring, make it clear what energy you wish to absorb, such as happiness, motivation, sadness, etc. - state a specific action or key phrase to release energy from the ring, in order to avoid “leaking.” It would also be smart to make a phrase that can be adapted to state a target to aim the released energy into. - make it clear that the vortex may only open when you intend it too, or else it could end up draining your energy and leaving you very weak.

Because the instructions are so specific, it would be best to write them out before starting. Recite your instructions while spinning the ring, and once you’re done, annoint the ring with lavender oil and seal the vortex to the ring through visualization. Once the bond is sealed, leave the ring to charge overnight with some amethyst, moonstone, and/or clear Quartz.

Tips: - remember that any energy you absorb into the ring will stay inside until you release it. I suggest clearing and cleansing it at least once a day, preferably after each use. - remember that just as you can take energy from someone or something, you can take that energy and place it somewhere/in something else. Example: take sadness and anger out of someone you DO like and put it into someone you DON’T like. - understand that if you take energy from/put energy into someone, you are affecting them in a very real way, and you could possibly affect their mental and/or physical health (in a positive or negative way) - using this ring is a very good way to practice visualizing and sensing/feeling energy.

As always, much love and good luck 💖 message me if you have any questions!

Pop-Culture and TechnoPaganism/Magick Part I

When I first heard of Pop-Culture Paganism/Magick and Techno-Witchcraft/Paganism my first thought was, “Whut?”

It seemed strange to me and after looking into it a bit I was still quite confused over the concept.

Worshipping a fictional character as a deity? Writing spells around dialogue from a TV show? Using modern day technology as magickal tools? It all seemed a bit absurd to me.

As Pagans, we tend to lean toward a more natural path than most other religions. We tend to shun electronics in our practice (save for maybe that Spotify playlist we use for ritual) and think that those sorts of modern day amenities can interfere with our magick and energy. We look towards the Olde Gods and our ancestors during worship or ritual work and not Castiel from Supernatural or our favorite fictional character.

But then I really thought about it…and it started to make more sense to me and I realized that I actually incorporated some of these beliefs into my own practices and didn’t even realize it.

These paths, these traditions are seemingly Pagan evolution. What we now know as Paganism and witchraft is going to be vastly different from what was practices thousands, or even hundreds of years ago. Sure, we have a ton of information that has been passed down from scholars, monks, and familial lineage, but it isn’t going to be 100% accurate and that is ok.

For instance, (I am going to go a bit off track here) Wicca is one of the most common Pagan traditions you hear about nowadays, but seventy years ago it was a non-entity. It didn’t exist, but maybe a concept did in the minds of a few. Someone decided to reinvent and revive a part of the Olde Ways and give it their own twist…and the Wicca we know today is even different than the Wicca of the 50’s. Religion and practice is constantly evolving with the times and with the people that practice.

So, back to the Techno and the Pop-Culture and why I think it is a valid practice and system of magick as well as religion.

What are the Gods? Some of us may see them as real energetic beings, while others view them as just archetypes. They have attributes, correspondences, and stories to go with them, but none of us have physically encountered them, we have faith that they are there and exist on some level, but not physically, at least not anymore (if you view them that way.)

Now, Pop-Culture Paganism…I will start with a personal experience.

I am a follower of Loki, a Lokean if you will. I have loved his character and archetype since I was young and before I even discovered Paganism. He chose me (as he does) and came to me originally not as his ginger haired self, but…as Marvel’s Loki.

This seems to be something that is far more common than I realized, at least for the Trickster, but a lot of people who found Him through Marvel were being invalidated by other Pagans and Heathens in the community saying things like “You just really have a crush on Tom Hiddleston and you are delusional for following him because of that.”

Ouch.

Maybe that was the case for some, but Loki of all beings would be the first one to make himself known in this way. The Marvel Loki played by Tom is very different from Himself, but also very much the same. Really, when you look at it, it is Tom himself that personifies the Trickster God and draws people to him. Their personalities are very similar and I feel like Tom channels the God in a lot of ways.

And there you go, Pop-Culture paganism. You identify with Loki, but you prefer the Marvel version so you set up an altar and instead of having a fancy, super expensive effigy of Him, you place a Lego Loki or a Loki Helm pendant that you got at con to represent him. This doesn’t mean you are necessarily worshiping a fictional character, but this is what clicks with you and how you view that God.

There are those, however, that worship actual fictional characters or write rituals around fictional magick, or even perform spells that are written specifically for a TV show or movie.

I have actually cast the “To Find a Lost Witch” spell from Charmed (and it worked) as well as using the Devil’s Trap from Supernatural to protect my magickal tools and even going as far as tattooing it on my body for protection. These things, though fictional, have some root in truth and the fact that millions of people put their energy and time and love into these things, gives them magick all on their own.

It is like the Tulpa (which was in an episode of Supernatural, haha) or thoughtform, a concept in mysticism of a being or object which is created through spiritual or mental powers. The term comes from Tibetan “emanation” or “manifestation”.

What are these fictional Gods, spirits, and ideas but essentially just that? We give them power and then there they are. But there is also the possibility that if you believe in multi-worlds or multi-dimensions that somewhere out there on a different plane of existence, these characters actually DO exist and could be worshiped and revered.

This concept doesn’t sound so far-fetched now, does it?

Here’s another example… tutting. Tutting is inspired by the art of Ancient Egypt (the name derived from the Egyptian pharaoh Tutankhamun, colloquially known as “King Tut”), tutting exploits the body’s ability to create geometric positions (such as boxes) and movements, predominantly with the use of right angles. It generally focuses on the arms and hands, and includes sub-styles such as finger tutting. This has been used in Pop-Culture magick examples in shows like “The Magicians” and movies like Marvel’s “Doctor Strange. What is this but using sacred geometry to cast magick. Not only are you using your will and thought to cast, but the movement of the body to will the energy forward. It may have become popular because of fiction, but it is still valid and a lot of people may have been using a form of this magick without even realizing it.

This is how paganism and magick evolves. We have thought, we have intelligence and a thirst for knowledge and we also have the ability to create our own magick and thoughts.

As a writer, I am constantly tweaking known magick, lore, and pagan concepts to fit my stories, but they could also be plausibly used in my actual practice. I even wrote my own tradition (and am still working on it) loosly based off of my fantasy novel series, ”Faytes of the Otherworld". Sometimes I wonder if fiction like this is the writer channeling actual magick, energy, and practice from a higher being. I mean, how did we get the knowledge that we have about our craft and Paganism in the first place? Even monotheism got it’s religion from supposedly God himself, the Bible being written by man but the context being delivered from God, so it would make sense.

I have many more examples, but this post has already become rather long.

stellar death 🌌

the death of a star is an interesting process that takes billions of years, but i think that it’s a great comparative representation of the death of living beings.

i believe that death is a mere transfer of energy - our physical bodies perish, while the energy of what we once were is transferred to another plane of existence to form what most people refer to as spirits.

like the death of a supergiant star, we go through an energetic transformation (the formation of a supernova) and end up as an invisible, but very present, state of being (black hole).

aside from physical death, death can also be viewed in a symbolic manner - you can break bad habits, discover a new way of life, take on a new career path, or undergo a fundamental transformation and it can be viewed as the symbolic process of death and rebirth. 

the correspondences associated with this process are as follows:

the collapse of a star - death

supernova - transformation

neutron star or black hole - rebirth or energetic transfer

Begins immediately after the new moon until it is full. As the moon is growing, so should your magic.

Its the best time for:

Intention for attraction, love, abundance, success, expansion, creativity, taking action, development and growth

Full Moon

This is the peak of magic potency and is great for almost any kind of magic right before or on the full moon.

Its the best time for:

Psychic enhancement, charging, cleansing, and spells for attraction

Waning Moon

This is immediately after the full moon starts to decrease until the new moon.

Its the best time for:

Cleansing or releasing spells, introspection, undoing bindings, breaking bad habits, banishing, balance, success, wisdom and purification

Dark Moon

This is when the moon is not visible in the sky (usually 1-3 days). it happens from the end of the waning moon until the starts of the waxing moon.

Its the best time for:

The Universal Sigil

A large sigil representing the universe, symbolism under the read more.

Inside to outside and going clockwise, the symbols are as follows:

Radiation*

Water, Fire, Air

Magnetism, Forge (Personal interpretation: combustion / heat + pressure), Electricity*

Day, Carbon*, Oxygen*, Hydrogen*, Helium*, Sulfur, Night, Iron, Nitrogen*, Neon*, Magnesium, Silicon*

* While alchemical symbols represent aspects and elements of chemistry, alchemy was a very early form of chemistry and doesn't have symbols for everything. These symbols were made based off of personal interpretation, symbolism (helium based off of sun and air), or parts from another symbol (electricity being taken from part of copper which is known for its conductive properties).

Altogether, the inner ring of the sigil represents the constant flow of energy in space, taking place as the core of a star. The points on the star represent the passage of time and the fundamental elements that form the universe as we know them, the same elements that also make up and support life.

This sigil represents the following:

Life, death, space, and time

Any cosmic entity such as a planet, sun, etc.

Energy and the generation of energy (spell boosting, etc.)

Channeling cosmic energy

This sigil is meant to be charged by any of the processes in the center circle (aside from radiation outside of a safe form, of course) and used as a focus in cosmic spellcraft or worn by astrotheists!

Is it okay to have a digital altar to a deity in Animal Crossing?

Absolutely! Using a digital space like Animal Crossing for your magickal practice is not only okay, but it can be a profoundly creative and effective way to connect with your chosen deities or spiritual forces. In the realm of Neo-Technomagick, the digital and physical worlds are interconnected facets of the greater reality/ the Omniverum, where every space — whether digital, material, or conceptual — holds potential for magickal practice. Your digital altar in Animal Crossing can serve as a potent focal point for your intentions, rituals, and spiritual connections.

Here are some ways to enhance your digital altar in Animal Crossing:

Infuse Intent into the Design: As you create your altar, consider the symbolic correspondences of the items you place on it. Choose colors, objects, and layouts that align with the deity or spirit you are honoring. For example, if you are building an altar to a goddess of the moon, use blue and silver elements, crescent shapes, or items that evoke the sea or nighttime.

Daily Rituals and Offerings: Engage with your digital altar regularly, much like you would with a physical one. You might set aside a specific time each day to visit your altar in the game, light digital candles, or place offerings. In the game, you could offer fruit, flowers, or crafted items as a gesture of devotion or gratitude. The act of doing so, even in a virtual space, reinforces your spiritual intention and connection.

Incorporate Sound and Movement: Animal Crossing offers various music tracks and sound effects. Choose sounds that resonate with the deity or intention of your altar. You can even create a ritual dance or movement in the game to accompany your practice. This could be as simple as performing certain actions (like clapping or cheering) or creating a sequence of movements that feel meaningful to you.

Sync Your Digital and Physical Spaces: Create a corresponding altar in your physical space, mirroring the elements in your digital game. This creates a bridge between the digital and physical realms, amplifying your magickal intent. When you interact with your digital altar, do the same in your physical space — light a real candle, place a crystal, or meditate. This practice aligns both realms, creating a powerful synergy.

Document and Reflect: Keep a digital or physical journal to document your experiences, thoughts, and any signs or synchronicities you encounter. Reflecting on these moments helps you deepen your understanding of your practice and the connections you are making through the digital altar. You could even create a dedicated scrapbook in Animal Crossing using in-game patterns or designs.

Use In-Game Events to Mark Ritual Occasions: Align your digital practices with in-game events or celestial movements. For example, you could hold a ritual or celebration at your digital altar during an in-game festival or when the full moon rises in the game’s sky. This syncs your personal practice with both the game’s internal rhythms and the larger cosmic cycles.

Engage with the Community: Share your altar and practice with others, whether it’s with friends who visit your Animal Crossing island or by sharing screenshots and experiences on social media. Engaging with a like-minded community can amplify the energy of your practice and provide new ideas and inspirations. Remember, the true power of any spiritual or magickal practice lies in the intention behind it. The digital realm, like any other, is a canvas upon which we paint our will, belief, and creativity. By treating your digital altar with the same respect and dedication as a physical one, you are reinforcing your connection to the divine and the endless possibilities of the Omniverum.

*whispers* (I’m whispering because it’s very important that we keep this very low key)

hey, you know that ancient grimoire you’ve been searching for but can’t get shipped to your country, is probably on Anna’s Archives. Yeah… you could download it for free… pretty much any text you can think of regardless of how old it is, it’s probably on there… give it a little searchy search and you’ll probably find the entire book for free… just saying.

Having a hard copy is always nice. But when I’m trying to figure out if a grimoire is worth dumping money on… it’s always nice to have a little free trial,…

just saying ….

"Drain Them" Sinking Spell

a spell to keep someone drained mentally and busy with things stressing them out rather than dealing with you. spell was originally intended for helping out a friend with someone negative in their life

⚓ gather: glass/metal bottle, taglock, black origami paper or striped origami paper, bits of a mouse's skull (ethically sourced. my mouse skull was from an owl pellet i dissected) ⚓ note: if you don't have striped paper, use black paper. if you don't have black paper, use striped paper

⚓ take a metal or glass bottle and fill it with water

⚓ use black and striped paper and fold it into a butterfly. butterflies themselves represent creativity, transformation, hope, faith and rebirth. in origami, butterflies can also represent moving on from something while striped paper can represent discouragement or imprisonment and black paper can either symbolize protection or oppression depending on the intent

⚓ take apart the butterfly and place mouse skull pieces in the middle of the paper and refold it a butterfly. skulls in death witchcraft represent the mind, thoughts and can even connect you to animal it originally came from

⚓ place butterfly in the bottle and seal with the intent to keep the intended target drained mentally and for that to persistently follow them. shake bottle if necessary if spell feels to be wearing off or energy feels dull
