Hello everyone!

I am very happy to say that I am finally up and running and ready to sell some stuff! I do have everything to make and sell spell bottles as well, but I have more exciting things as well!

I have been making things with crochet and I'm so proud of everything I've made. I put love and intention into every stitch and I am so excited to say that I am taking commissions! Blankets, bags, stuffed animals... there are so many things I can make with crochet!

These are just some of the things I've made! I've also made dice bags, scarves hats and gloves, and blankets! If there is anything that you would like to commission from me, send me a private message and we can talk about price and everything!

*Update- the other mod I'm talking to is wonderful and nice and helpful and solving the situation

[sleepylemley-blog]

I'm a witch.

That's it. That's what and who I am. I'm a witch. I don't believe in gods. I don't belong to a coven. I'm not Wiccan. I don't believe you need fancy tools. I don't think anyone is more powerful than anyone else.

None of that makes me any less a witch. Don't let anyone tell you you aren't a witch. Do what makes you feel powerful, do what works for you, and let other people be themselves as well. If you don't like a kind of magic or spell, don't do it. If someone doesn't like the kind of magic you do so what? I mean, fuck guys, we all feel the power of the universe around us, do you really feel so all important and all powerful that you think yours is the only way? Let people live their lives and do their magic their way.

That doesn't mean you can't voice your opinions, and no one should get pissy when you do.

Spread love, everyone. Spread love and care about the people you come into contact with. We are all amazing and weird and great.

Y’all, please stop recommending witchcraft as a replacement for professional mental health treatment. It’s really dangerous. Spirituality is fine as a supplement to treatment, but telling people to drop their antidepressants or antipsychotics in favor of crystals and incense is going to get someone killed. ):

[sleepylemley-blog]

You’re still a witch, y’know.

Even if you don’t follow tradition.

Even if you’re eclectic.

Even if you change things to fit your own beliefs. 

Even if you don’t worship any deities.

Even if you don’t believe in ghosts, spirits, gods, or an afterlife.

Even if you don’t use ouija boards or tarot cards.

Even if you’re solitary.

Even if you curse and hex.

Even if you don’t bring sociopolitical stuff into your craft.

Even if you’re not “born a witch”, even if you don’t have a “magic bloodline”, even if your family aren’t witches.

No matter your race, your skin color, your culture, your gender, your sex, your sexuality, your political or religious views, no matter your orientations or your identities, you’re still a witch. If you use the label, if you practice the craft, you are a witch and you are valid. Nobody can say otherwise. Nobody can take that away from you. Nobody can gatekeep. Nobody can tell you what’s right or wrong. Nobody can tell you what you can or can’t do, for any reason at all. Nobody can dictate your beliefs. There are no exceptions.

And if they try to, tell them to shove their dogma and their “holier than thou uwu” attitude where the moon don’t shine.

If you cannot have a grimoire but still want to write, put things in-between school notes.

If you’re alone in your practice, try joining some witchy communities such as The Bubbling Cauldron or Hogwarts!

If you’re just starting to learn astrology, focus on your sun/moon/rising first.

DreamMoods is an extensive dictionary for dream interpretation. 

Use different perfumes/facial sprays for different glamour intents.

Sore throat? Lemon, honey, and ginger tea.

Egg-shells make for great fertilizer for those herb gardens!

If you really want to be safe with grimoire writing, write in shorthand or code.

Rosemary can be a replacement for sage with smoke cleansing, also smells nicer!

If you live in a snowy area, make snow water!

If you’re interested in sea magic but live nowhere near a sea, try building an ocean shadow-box. 

Turn music notes into sigils!

Bake cookies with the flavour that corresponds to your intent! (lemon for cleansing, chocolate for love, etc) 

Non-consensual love spells are NOT okay. 

Non-consensual spells on another person are NEVER okay (unless they deserve to be cursed…that’s another ballpark).

Make sure to ask consent before doing a reading for someone.

If you want to learn more about Nordic mythology, this site is a great starting ground. 

These oils are bad to have/diffuse around cats/dogs!

Draw sigils inside of your shoes.

Keep sigils on your school notes/folders for help with academics. 

If you are allowed to draw on a test, draw a simple/quick sigil to help you pass.

If you want some really subtle kitchen-witchery, stews and soups are your friend. 

You do not have to identify as a specific type of witch.

Put your sigils on electronics so they charge with minimum effort.

Bury a raw egg in the front of your home for abundance and protection. 

If you are a painter, try mixing essential oils/incense ashes into your paint.

Carve or put a sigil with your intention on/under a candle for extra effectiveness.

Emoji spells can be printed and burned, if you want something more effective for them.

If you do offerings, make it a habit to do one before you go to bed.

Meditate with incense and candles related to your deity when looking for guidance .

You can craft a makeshift ouija board out of cardboard and a shot glass.

Make sure you check that whatever incense/candles you’re using is safe for your pets, cats and small animals especially have very sensitive respiratory systems .

Offerings, like food, are good when doing a spell asking for help from spirits and deities.

You do not need a fancy altar to be a witch.

Altar = work-space, alter = alternate. 

Honey will make the outcomes of your spells more effective and positive.

You do not need to celebrate the Sabbats!

Moonglow will personalise jewellery for you that has the moon phase from the day of the event you choose.

If you don’t have a candle, you can visualize lighting one.

If you can’t have your altar set up all the time, set it up super nice with candles, incense, all that good stuff, and take a video. Then you can full screen that as a substitute when you aren’t able to do the real deal.

Cayenne pepper helps to remove spiritual blockages.

Spirit shops are often scams or abusive, be careful. 

Most metaphysical shops (online and in-store) are WAY overpriced. Watch for gem shows, farmers markets, thrift stores, and grocery stores in your area.

Wicca is a religion that sometimes involves witchcraft, witchcraft is a secular practice which some Wiccans practice. The two are not synonymous. 

Thyme can be used to aid in dream spells.

Guided meditations and yoga classes that encompass witchy practices are great for new witches!

“Magick” was a term coined by Crowley, a known antisemitic, racist, sexist and all-around asshole. Be mindful of this, using “magic” or “witchcraft” is much better.

Inspiration from spells can come from anywhere. Pop culture is a great source of inspiration, such as my all-star spell. 

Something as simple as taking a shower can be a great cleansing method.

Tea tree oil helps treat acne and can also be used for strength!

Amethyst is pretty much good for everything.

Having a familiar is not necessary to being a witch!

If you do acrylics, try out a witchy design! 

Tourmaline absorbs negative energy and does not need to be cleansed of it as often.

It’s not necessary to keep a grimoire unless you want to/it’s genuinely helpful for you.

Most agate is dyed.

Menstrual blood is one of the most potent forms of blood for blood magic.

Citrine can be used for prosperity and wealth. Take it to job interviews!

If you plant mint, make sure you use a pot. That shit spreads like wildfire.

Meditation doesn’t have to be sitting down cross legged, anything that makes your mind clear can work for it.

If you need to bury a spell or offering, use something biodegradable like a lettuce leaf instead of a jar.

Different flavours of soda can be drank according to your intent.

If you play an instrument, turn spells into song. 

If you want your spell to rhyme, use a rhyming dictionary.

The word g*psy is a racial slur.

Some common flowers for glamours are roses, lilac,and lavender. 

Numerology/number spells can be used for those who enjoy math.  

Try living zero-waste for a week, month, or forever!

Opalite, goldstone, and bismuth are man-made.

“One note here might be wise. Healing magic should always be used in addition to conventional medicine and never as a replacement. Doctors are the only people qualified to help your body heal itself “ - Scott Cunningham

When moving into a new home, light three candles. White for cleansing, green for prosperity, and black to banish anything negative.

Polytheism = multiple gods/goddesses.

Monotheism = one god/goddess.

Pantheism = the universe is the god/all gods exist.

Panentheism = reality is identical with divinity.

Paganism = umbrella term for religions such as Wicca, Druidry, and Heathenry.

DON’T BURY JARS.

Charge your pet’s collar/leash with safety and protection.

Sketch sigils on your pet’s collar!

Follow the law, for goodness sake.

Taking from graveyards is illegal unless special permission is given.

Ouija boards are not the danger-zone everyone makes them out to be, check out @theouijagirl​ . 

Since it’s coming up on summer, making herb/flower infused ice lollies is great for intent!

Teaching minors religion (witchcraft is defined as a religion by law in America) is illegal.

Sun tea is a good way to get some sun energy in your system.

Fluorite is the gay stone and nobody can argue with me.

Try making teas/lemonade with sun or moon water.

If you are not a secret witch but live with those who do not approve, try to be considerate and understand their side as well.

Science places have better prices on crystals that spiritual places.

Museums also often have amazing prices on crystals.

If a religion is open, feel free to nose around and learn about them until you find one that suits you!

If weather allows, go outside barefooted to ground and connect with the earth on a whole ‘nother level.

Brick dust can be used for protection.

Mirrors are a great amplification tool.

If drawing sigils on your skin, lip liners and eyeliners are great.

Cleanse yourself by going on Tumblr because there’s so much salt.

Eat a peppermint before an interview to attract employment.

Dill and salt will reverse a curse.

To flush something out of your life, write it on a piece of flush-able material, and flush that shit down the toilet.

Not everyone practices the same way, do what is respectful and feels good to you. You are awesome!

I just really like Bucky okay

I honestly just needed something to paint

[sleepylemley-blog]

Not witchcraft related, but I'm really proud of these drawings. Arts and crafts have always been hard for me, so it's a big deal to me that I'm actually proud of these :)

[sleepylemley-blog]

I know you know this but

Witchcraft is not a substitute for conventional mental and medical treatments. It’s a supplement. An anti-anxiety spell does not replace medication or therapy. A crystal won’t heal your illness. It will help, but you cannot bypass scientifically supported treatment in favor of magic and expect it to work.

[sleepylemley-blog]

Just a reminder that I'm still doing readings!

Tarot Readings!

So I’m going to start doing tarot readings on here! $5 for a 3 card spread $8 for a 5 card spread! Anything more than that we can talk about the price (based on difficulty of the spread) I accept payment via PayPal so it’s pretty simple!

Opening up commissions

I’m thinking of opening up commissions. It’d only be like two slots for the time being.

Some feedback and thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated

Plants for the Not-So-Green-Witch

I actually have a couple people asking me about plants with these qualities:

Hard to kill

Pretty

Inexpensive 

Survive in little to no light

I get it, not every witch is lucky enough to have a yard or even a balcony. Sometimes not even a windowsill is big enough to hold the planter. Some witches aren’t super savvy with remembering to water their plant friends, busy life, I get it! Maybe you’re in a dorm room with one window that doesn’t get a lot of sunlight. I’m here to help~ 

First off, my absolute favorite.
