“May your coming year be filled with magic and dreams and good madness. I hope you read some fine books and kiss someone who thinks you’re wonderful, and don’t forget to make some art – write or draw or build or sing or live as only you can. And I hope, somewhere in the next year, you surprise yourself.”

— Neil Gaiman (via wordsnquotes)

Yesterday I read that in Welsh folklore Corgis are thought to be the preferred mount of woodland fairies… so of course, I had to sketch a fairy corgi.

Okay so my fave headcanon ever is trans guy Frank Zhang, and his grandmother and all of his friends are very supportive and! yeah that's it I just love trans Frank

I ALSO LOVE TRANS FRANK!!! our big handsome sweetheart…. he’s not very secretive about it, doesnt see the need to at camp jupiter. he wears cute trans flag buttons if he can and, before deciding apollo was his father (ding dong you are wrong) be briefly considered bacchus, as bacchus/dionysus was/is the god of transgender people. he brushes it off as a silly thought and, upon meeting dakota, is even more certain that, yes, obviously my father is apollo (honey you got a big storm comin)

dakota is a good friend, however, and a good resource. grandmother had been accepting, in her own way, and he was grateful for it, but frank was still under-informed, seeing as grandmother is an old lady who isnt well informed either. dakota is trans as well, genderfluid, if frank remembers correctly, amab and feminine-presenting, but knows a lot about transmasc stuff as well. they help each other, support each other, and frank is glad to have a friend like him. he meets jason, too, who occasionally asks him or dakota to paint his nails before hurriedly chipping it off so others dont see.

then he meets hazel, who is so happy to be able to grow out her hair into long honey-colored curls. she gets to try make up for the first time, cries a little when dakota, frank, and… whats his name, the brother - nico, when they help her into her first dress. nico shooshes her, says she looks very pretty, even makes a sarcastic comment that sounds like an endearment about having to beat boys off of his sister (and he says that word, sister, which makes her smile that blinding smile). nico doesnt stay often, but the way he hunches his shoulders and forces his voice deeper makes frank wonder.

“is it… a demigod thing? do gods just not do gender that way?” frank thinks to himself sometimes. “or is it a… like attracts like sort of thing?”

poor frank never finds the answer for certain, but hes the praetor of new rome now, so he doesnt mind. B) aldka sorry if i answered this late! i only just saw it for some reason? but trans frank is my life, my livelihood. yes please. - mod will

Never Assign a Yes or No Value to Tarot Cards... Ever

You want to know if you will enjoy your new job. You pull The Devil card. Many will tell you that is a no, because The Devil is a bad card.

But The Devil represents deep passion. Aren’t the happiest employees the ones who are deeply passionate about their job?

You want to know if your health will improve. You pull the Death card. Many will say that is a no, because Death is a scary card.

But Death represents absolute transformation. So if your health is in a terrible state, Death means it will transition to a pleasant one.

You want to know if your husband will be faithful to you. You pull the Three of Cups. Many will tell you that is a yes, because the Three of Cups is a card of happiness.

But there are three people in the Three of Cups. Having an extra person in a marriage isn’t exactly a sign of faithfulness, is it?

No card in tarot is designed to be condemned as a yes or a no. Any card can be a yes, just as any card can be a no. It depends on every individual question and the intricacies of a situation.

Shortcuts will not make you wise. More often than not, they are dead-ends in disguise.

You know, advancing in your craft gets harder to blog about, because like… I can try to sound all fancy and aesthetic and say “I’m sitting here contemplating new schools of magic while crafting enchantments”, which is true, but it sounds less fancy when I say “I’m watching Critical Role and thinking really hard about Pop Culture magic while I crochet miniature baskets for a fairy house”.

Dunno if bobbing the teabag actually helps the tea steep faster but it sure is fun to feel a part of something

odd little spells and charms

- light an incense related to success or money drawing and pass your resume through it’s smoke to promote job success (be sure to be actively searching for work). leave on your altar and let the incense burn out

- whistle for a breeze on a hot or stuffy day

- twirl your index finger, visualizing the minute hand of a clock moving quickly as you do so to promote time going by quickly, then snap your fingers and visualize the minute hand moving ever so quickly. for better effectiveness try not to keep track of time.

- charge a face mask under moonlight and then use it the next day for glamour magick. try a rose face mask for a loving aura, etc

- if you work retail or any other business that requires or promotes surveys, buy a green marker, charge it, and use it whenever you need to circle the survey on a customer’s receipt to promote positive surveys in your name (be sure to write your name as well)

- write a wish on a bay leaf and safely burn it 

- utilize dry and fallen candle wax on the table you’ve managed to get off by poking a small hole enough to fit a ribbon through it and then drawing a sigil on it, best if the sigil is related to the color. You can hang these around your room and charge them as well.

- hold a pair of sunglasses in your hand and affirm, “no one shall bother me when i put these on, and i will not be noticed” and then obviously put them on. good if you do not want to be bothered as you walk, on the train, etc.

- a simple glamour for an intimidating gaze: visualize a black aura around your eyes, and feel your gaze getting stronger and stronger. believe that you have a sharp and intimidating gaze. this is good to help you stand your ground during arguments, etc.
