oxidized copper is such a beautiful color palette. The rich reds with the cool teals. Such a vibrant combo. No one is doing it like her.

I appreciate my cats so much at the moment. I've been living in a constant state of anxiety for the past week and a half-ish, from my dog dying a thousand miles away from me, to being laid off from my job, to being cheated on and most recently (literally yesterday) my birthgiver reaching out to me only for her to ask me to say i didn't mean it and "never hurt her like that again" after she and my dad have emotionally (and rarely physically) abused me and my sibs growing up, Mickey and Milo have been here for me. They help calm me more than any other person currently in my life can. I love them si much.

Anybody elses anti-depressants make them hate being sexualized in any way possible even by their literal partner or is that caused by outside factors

Witchcraft Book Recommendation Lists

(Reposting again bc tumblr turned off the reblogs on the original wtf. From an answer to an inquiry in the witchcraft tags. Decided to repost for anyone else who might need it.)

Here’s the post I made with recommendations for green witchcraft and plant magic. The list includes magical resources and accompanying practical texts on botany, herbology, and medicinal plants.

Here’s the post I made with recommendations for general witchcraft study, including practical sources on the history of modern witchcraft. (In particular, I recommend Margot Adler’s “Drawing Down The Moon” and Ronald Hutton’s “The Triumph of the Moon” for information about the modern movement.)

Here’s a recent photo of my personal library, if you’re looking for a general list of titles to check out.

Here’s the post I made with a list of JSTOR articles I’ve found that relate to witchcraft, witch trials, folk magic, occult beliefs, superstition, and the history surrounding all of them. It’s not exhaustive, but it’s pretty comprehensive.

And here are a couple of masterlists of podcast episodes that deal with witchcraft, witch trials, the history of witchcraft-related beliefs, and resources for fact-checking and debunking misconceptions and misinformation commonly found in witchcraft spaces.

(Also I have published a few books on practical secular witchcraft, if you’re interested….)

You can also find additional recommendations in the "book recs" and "witchy books" tags on my blog.

Hope this helps!

(If you’re enjoying my content, please feel free to drop a little something in the tip jar or check out my published works on Amazon or in the Willow Wings Witch Shop. 😊)

Unhelpful Witch Tips

Use a map and a pendulum to divine where the fuck they got the audacity

You know what, I'm not gonna bait the person who's obviously looking for a fight. But god damn I am fucking sick to death of every German folklore blog showing themselves to be a massive racist at one point or another.

Newsflash: you can have a good relationship with the local land, want to learn its history, and not be a fucking nazi.

My German-ness wasn't handed to me on a plate. I had to claw and fucking fight for it, I still am. Guess what? The land welcomes me. The land helps me. Fuck off outta here with your thinly-veiled Deutschland den Deutschen bullshit. The land does not care.

I hate that my history gets co-opted by these people. I've been thinking of making a sideblog collecting the bits of German folklore and witchcraft I've been exploring. I guess if nobody else is doing it, someone needs to be an explicitly anti-fascist voice in the room.
