Emoji Spell To Blow Away Bad Vibes

seriously if you really must post about "not all cops", make your own post. please do not go on a black person's post where they're talking about their very valid and understandable fears of police and racism and police brutality and preach it there. it's disrespectful as hell and derails the point. they deserve and need a space where they can talk about it and raise awareness or just vent their feelings without getting us white people saying that not all cops are bad. just make your own post.

we need to be better allies, especially now.

oh god I had a really big epiphany about love and personhood but I’m too drunk for words. hold on I’m gonna paint it.

A Simple “Fuck You” Curse

This simple curse will bad luck and mayhem into one’s life.

What You’ll Need

The target’s name on a piece of paper

A black or gray candle (can be a scented candle)

A small bowl

A small plate or tea saucer

A paint brush or stick

Cayenne pepper

Chili powder

Lime juice

Onion juice

What To Do

Place your candle behind the bowl and light it.

Take your ingredients and put two tablespoons of each in the bowl.

Mix them together until you get a gross, mushy paste.

Take your stick or paint brush and dip it into the paste.

Take your brush/stick and write “Fuck You” over the target’s name, while doing so say/think every injustice they’ve done you.

Once you’ve finished writing “Fuck You” on their name place the paper on the dish/saucer and drip the wax over it to seal their fate.

End the ritual by blowing out the candle and disposing of everything properly.

Keep that piece of paper in a dark area of your home where it won’t see sunlight.

***To break the curse cleanse the paper in full moon water, try to keep it from tearing, and burn it after it dries.***

Things to put in your Grimoire ✨🖋

Since a lot of you younger, less experienced witches seem to ask, I thought I’d make a list of things one might want to include in your grimoire. (a lot of stuff I have listed are things I personally put in mine) A grimoire is a witch’s life work. There is no right or wrong way to do it, so take your time with it!

If you’re wiccan, a page dedicated to the wiccan rede and/or the rule of three

if any other religion, go ahead and write your personal beliefs

a protection sigil or personal sigil

just your sigils in general

13 goals of a witch or personal goals

a god & goddess page

wheel of the year

sabbat history, traditions, and correspondance

sabbat rituals

moon phases & correspondance

days of the week correspondance

candle magick and correspondance

the 4 elements

ways to cleanse tarot decks and crystals

tarot meanings

your witches tools

crystal correspondance (*include whether or not they are toxic and/or go in water)

herb correspondance (*also include what ones are okay to injest and/or drug interactions)

essential oils and how to properly use them safely

recipes and/or spells

tea reading

palmistry

scrying magick

dream symbols and meanings

i have a page for crow divination

literally anything you want. it’s your grimoire and its a personal journal.

**Feel free to add more. The list is endless and I’m sure I missed something that might be helpful.

now that i’ve begun working more with energy, i wanted to share my methods of casting circles! when i first started working with energy, it was really hard to find references for casting circles, especially ones not dealing with the traditional Wiccan god/goddess. here are some methods and uses of casting circles!

Why Cast a Circle?

the primary reason i cast circles is to protect me from outside energy influences. most people associate circles to protection from ‘malevolent’ spirits, however, it’s just a great barrier in general!

here are some following scenarios i cast circles:

divination- to protect me from energies that might influence my cards or my interpretation o the cards

spellwork- pretty self-explanatory. i cast circles to protect from energies i don’t want in my spells, or from potential spirit attraction.

meditation- again, for energy use and to also not be disturbed from anything spiritual.

Methods of Casting

1 - Invoking Elements

a very basic way, if not the go-to way, of casting is to place each of the four elements at each of the cardinal directions. Earth at the north, Air in the east, Fire at the south, and Water in the west.

fire

Candles (color them for intent if used in a spell! alternatively, electric tea lights work fine.)

here is a post about color associations for candles!

Anything symbolic of fire colors (red or warm-colored cloth, figures/statues,etc.)

water

moon/sun water (in a jar works really well, or in an open container if being used for blessing anything)

blessed water, or water related to whatever you’re working with (storm water, diluted essential oils, etc).

here is a good source of different kinds of water and how to cleanse them!

blue or purple colored items

earth

stones or crystals (this is what i love to use! just be wary that some stones are aligned with other elements. clear quartz is a go-to.)

salt

dirt (from your backyard or specific, such as hospital or graveyard. make sure to cleanse it.)

herbs (especially roots)

brown or black colored items

air

incense (different scents have uses as well!)

here is a post with scent correspondences!

steam

yellow or white colored items

alternatively, any of these could be replaced with a tarot card of the corresponding suit! (wands for fire, cups for water, pentacles for earth, and swords for air).

to close the circle, walk clockwise starting in the east (air) and complete a full walk around the circle. do this as many times as you feel needed to envision a complete circle! after your use for it is done, unwind it by walking the same number of times counter-clockwise.

note: if you live in the southern hemisphere, you may want to reverse fire and earth in your directions and walk counter-clockwise to close the circle, and clockwise to end it.

2 - Envisioning

this is a very, very simple way to cast a circle! if you have very little time, simply imagine a ring of light around your workspace. you could align color to purpose as well.

the only downsides to this method include the fact that it may not be as strong as a physical circle for beginners especially, as i have learned many times over as i find energy that i don’t want in the circle. on top of this, to make it very successful, you may have to keep this image in your head throughout your spell or energy work, which may distract or hurt your concentration.

however, like i said before, it’s very easy, discreet, and requires no clean up! with practice, it could be very easy to maintain.

3 - Salt Circle

by simply spreading salt in a circle clockwise (or counter-clockwise depending on your location), you can create a strong barrier. as you walk around, envision your purpose of protection and safety.

if you are working outside, do not use salt. it will kill plant life! instead, consider alternatives such as: egg shells, diluted salt water, crushed herbs, flower petals, etc.

if working inside, consider setting out foil, cloth, or a tarp for easy cleanup. 

4 - Cleansing the Room Itself

if you find that you for some reason cannot cast a circle, or maybe are just starting out, consider cleansing the entire room instead!

some methods include:

smoke cleansing (NOT smudging. please do not call this action smudging unless it is part of YOUR culture.)

salt or protective mixture

dance/song

salt/water spray

incense and candles

for smoke cleansing, light your bundle and start facing eastward, spreading the smoke and asking for protection from either the corresponding element or any deities/spirits/etc. you worship. move clockwise or counterclockwise.

for salt or protection mixtures, simply place a small pile in each corner of the room or at the cardinal directions.

dance and song can celanse the room when accompanied with smoke especially. 

the salt water spray can be used similar to the protection mixture – spray a little in each corner or at the cardinal directions.

incense and candles can be placed in corners, the directions, or just throughout the room to act as protective energy.

Final Notes

make sure to remove your circle after you’re done!! leaving it up isn’t safe and could be draining on your energy or health.

try not to leave the circle in the middle of your work, if it can be avoided. ive had to do it before and nothing bad happened, but sometimes it ocould break the circle, or bring unwanted energy or precense in.

do your absolute best to have all your materials in the circle before you cast it. bringing items that were not in the circle before could carry energy that you just do not want in your circle. i’ve messed up plenty spells because of it already. if it is really necessary, cleanse the item as thoroughly as you can (quickly if you need to), and enter the circle from the east.

if these methods don’t work right away, don’t worry! these take lots of practice. some easy ways to try casting daily include:

cast a circle before you meditate

cleanse your room before you do homework for a safe space to work

if you have a form of divination, cast a circle before drawing a daily reading (i do this in the morning to see how the day will go or seek advice for the day!).

good luck!

I did eventually learn what to do with my hands in prayer.

Ouranic gods: hands up (raise the roof)

Oceanic gods: arms outstretched in front of you

Chthonic gods: hands down. You are also welcome to throw yourself on the ground and be an entire mess.

Me while doing anysort of colour magic: I'm blue da ba de da ba dy da ba di da ba dy da ba do da ba dy I'm blue da ba de da ba dy da ba de da ba dy da ba de da ba dy I'm blu-

The spirits/thougtforms I'm working with:

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

Rose Sugar:

I made rose sugar yesterday and it smells amazing! I am planning on using it for tea and tea spells. The sugar reflects the pink of the petals and the entire jar is almost glowing pink ^-^
