magic in the hamptons (ao3) - t_hens

Summary: Phil is bored with going to parties every weekend with people he doesn’t like. Bored of going to school for a degree he hates just to please his parents. Bored of pretty much everything in his life, until he meets Dan, an inscrutable college student, who shows him that maybe he can have the things he wants in life - he just has to be brave enough to pursue them.

Magic Shop (ao3) - your_starless_eyes

Summary: It made sense that Dan would need time to recover from the tour, just the same as Phil. It was logical reasoning.

make a wish when your childhood dies (ao3) - tinydragon (tiny_dragon)

Summary: Things could be going better for librarian Phil Lester. He’s discontent with his life and his job when an episode of accidental magic lands him in a seemingly different world, which nobody else seems aware of other than the neighbour he never knew he had, Dan Howell. Together, they must find a way to return home to their ordinary cities and lives, but there’s something about Dan that’s strange, in that he seems eerily similar to Phil’s favourite childhood storybook character.

Marigold (ao3) - Mysticallykai

maybe we were made for each other (ao3) - ShiwiSins (IetjeSiobhan)

Summary: One more station until he’s there, and Dan is sweaty and nervous with how much he wants to see Phil again, with how much he’s missed him, with how scared he is of the feelings being one-sided, despite everything Phil has said over Skype.

my hands no longer an afterthought (ao3) - ShiwiSins (IetjeSiobhan)

Or: It turns Dan on when Phil buys things for him. It only takes him fourteen years to do something about that.

My Sanctuary, You're Holy to Me (ao3) - skygremlin

Summary: Sister Daniel isn't very good at being a nun, but she's stuck living in a convent because she's got no other plans. The church needs a new priest for Sunday mass, and the responsibility falls on her to meet him for the first time. Will he see through her false devotion?

Easy Ways to Connect More Strongly with your Deities

Say Good Morning when you wake up, say Good Night before you fall asleep

Share your food with them. If you’ve ever wanted some of your friend’s french fries, you know how they probably feel. 

Donate to causes that fall under the jurisdiction of your deity. Are they a goddess for women? Donate to a women’s shelter or Planned Parenthood. Is your deity a patron of the arts? Give to PBS or local theatres.

Cook a full meal in honor of your deity. Seriously. It sounds silly but you can definitely find a regional cookbook based on your pantheon to cook a full ass feast for them.

Write them letters or notes. Keep a little notebook of notes and letters to your deity. Did you see a cute cat that you think Frigga would’ve liked? Maybe you saw a girl’s outfit that would’ve made Aphrodite drool. Let them know, or give yourself a reminder to tell them about it later.

Change your phone background. Does your deity have a temple or built pantheon? Put that shit as your wallpaper! Did you find a picture that so perfectly captures the spirit of your deity? Make it your lock screen.

Make them a Mix Tape. You know, so you can belt out songs in their honor while making your way downtown. Faces pass. And you’re home bound. 

DIY your Altar. I’m not going to lie, I’m not to altar type. However, it is a fantastically personalized space that you can do anything with. So don’t let anyone stop you from knitting that mini statue of Hecate a scarf.

Today's #tinydragon was difficult, the #31witches2 theme was noir so I wanted to keep it very dark and simple.

What happens after the dragon slaying? Someone or something has to clean up the mess. Leave it to the Carcass Wyrm--the waste control of the magical realm. It swarms in the deep night, attracted to the luminous mushrooms that often accompany a decomposing dragon carcass. Had to put my tree babies on hold to finish up my entry for the #tinydragon art book! Ok, I didn't have to finish it so soon, but I was excited to share it on the eve of Halloween! #skulldragon #dragonskull #dragonart #mushroomdrawing #fantasyart #spookyart #macabreart #dragon #dragon #mushroomart #wyrm

Evocation vs. Invocation vs. Incantation

Let’s discuss some semantics here, if only for a better understanding of the craft itself. 

The dictionary lists their definitions as:

Evocation: (noun) 1. The act of bringing or recalling a feeling, memory, or image to the conscious mind. 2. The action of invoking a spirit.

Invocation: (noun) 1. The action of invoking something or someone for assistance or as an authority. 2. The summoning of a deity or the supernatural. 3. An incantation used for this.

Incantation: (noun) 1. A series of words used as a magic spell or charm. 2. The use of words as a magic spell.

To put it more simply and practically, invocation is the action of summoning an entity. This could be any god, goddess, spirit, fae, etc. The act of invocation is left open to interpretation, although you might find yourself coming across more rituals than anything else. It can be done through incantation as mentioned in the definition.

Evocation is summoning either a spirit or personal energy. This may seem odd, but mustering personal energy is something we do constantly in our daily lives. Picturing your happy place to calm down is a form of evocation. It is also left open to interpretation as far as the actual act goes.

Incantation, as stated above, is the use of words as a spell. It can be the whole spell or a portion of a spell. This can be as simple as a mantra to repeat when you need it or writing a full four page long epic poem homage to your patron deity for an offering. 

Incantations, while often used out loud, do no have to be said out loud to have power. Just thinking or writing the spell will work.

Maybe the lynx was just the next one waiting in line for its human and that human had happened to be Dan, awkwardly manoeuvring his way around the outskirts of situations while it prowled at his side. Or maybe it represented some inner part of Dan, golden and glowing, hidden somewhere amongst all the shadows, something that he could get to if he actually looked. Dan’s more inclined to go with the first one (though he’d considered the second one numerous times. It just wasn’t possible)."

Or: Dan is a boy with a missing anima. He finds a Phil instead.

His cheekbones were strongly put together and his jawline was at the perfect angle, complementing the boy’s features nicely. Phil couldn’t believe someone like this actually existed. The boy was young and his appearance seemed even more tempting as he was sucking on a lollipop. A fucking lollipop.

Also known as that AU where Phil works in a library and Dan wanders in one day wearing a short skirt looking for a book and Phil just can’t stay low-key.

NSFW (Not Safe For Witches): Staying Safe in Magic

A lot of this may seem like common sense, but it needs to be repeated, because Hi, I’m the Mom Friend. Stay safe, friends.

Don’t leave candles burning unattended. Do you want to burn your house down? That’s how you burn your house down. Get a candle snuffer if you’re uncomfortable blowing out your candles or you can use LED candles instead.

If you get a strange reaction to your incense, oils, or herbs, please talk to your doctor. There’s a lot of stuff that you might not realize you’re allergic to. Some people refuse to admit when they have an adverse reaction to their supplies. Don’t be silly. You can swap out any of your supplies for something else that won’t affect your health.

If you practice blood magic, always sanitize your instruments and wounds, or wait to use the blood from accidental wounds. Study first aid until it’s as fluent as a strongly studied second language if you practice blood magic. Stay safe medically, the same goes for sex magic.

Are you foraging for things to use in your craft at a local park or beach? Buy a field guide from your local book shop or borrow one from your local library. It’ll help you discern what’s safe to touch, take, and use from what could potentially result in hives, illness, or worse. I find it also helps to photocopy the images and add them to my grimoire or BoS for reference later on. 

Don’t burn anything you have not fully researched. If you’re not sure if that leaf you found could cause your dog to have a seizure or cause you to go blind, find out what it is first. Research is a witch’s best friend.

Pet-safe your practice. If you have pets that may wander into your space, make sure that nothing you’re using can make them sick. This applies to small pets like hamsters and the like who may be restricted to cages and can’t be away from your space while you’re practicing as well.

Watch where you go. If you’re going to practice outside, make sure you’re not trespassing on anyone’s property. Safety includes keeping yourself safe from the law too, pals.

Use common sense and intuition. If something doesn’t feel right, don’t do it.

[reallytinydragon-blog]

Witch etiquette?

Witch Etiquette is a mixture of not being a dick in your own practice to other people, whether it’s coven mates or just people who happen to occur around you.

Always Ask Before You Light Something Scented

If there’s someone else around, always be sure to ask them if it’s okay before you light a scented candle, incense, or any other scented device. Something might be delightful to you, but it could feel like walking through a cloud of gross cologne to someone else.

This is especially important if you have a roommate in a smaller space, in which case you should ask about their reactions to scented devices. If they have an allergy, you don’t want to be the reason someone’s throat closes up. Don’t worry, your deities and spirits will understand.

Clean Up After Yourself

Spill some wax while moving a candle? Flick some ash onto the floor? Left your offerings out too long, maybe they started to smell? Don’t make it anyone else’s problems but your own. Clean it up as soon as you notice it, or after you finish your spell.

Ask Before You Set Up

If you’re using a public space, ask to make sure it’s okay for you to practice there before you start placing your supplies. Some people may go to public parks at night, but even then you should ask. It also shows them you’re not a troublemaker. 

Don’t Bless Without Permission

Hey Wiccans in particular, please do not wish Blessed Be onto other people, pagans or otherwise, without asking them if they’re okay with it. 

Everyone, do not magic someone else’s life without permission. Even if you think you’re helping. Do not curse, bless, hex, charm, or anything else anything they do not ask you to.

Don’t Bring Others to Your Deities’ Attentions

Again, even if you think you’re helping someone by telling your gods or spirits that a friend of yours could use their blessing, don’t do it without permission. We’re all handling our own paths, and it just gets confusing if there’s too many deities in one’s ear.

Never talk down to younger or less experienced witches. (Or anyone else for that matter)

It’s one thing to steer someone away from problematic writers like Raven SilverWolf. It’s another to continuously tell them that they’re wrong, ignore their ideas, disclude them from discussions, and keep putting them down in general. 

Putting down anyone else’s path is one of the worst things you could do to another witch. 

Do Not Be Rude.

Self explanatory.
