My husband gave me permission to share a picture of this special offering vessel that he made to propitiate his Kiln Spirit when working on ceramics.

I love it SO much.

Thank you for your reblog! This is very interesting, and I'm doing my best to learn :)

Something that bothers me a bit is that so much information about spells, magical properties or herbs and gems, etc. is often not sourced or backed up. I see a lot of "use [blank] for [specific thing]!" without expanation why. As a beginning witch I feel I need this info before I try something willy-nilly! Did we all just agree that certain plants have certain properties? Where do those come from? (Genuine question!)

Ooh, thank you! I'll dive into this soon!

Phases of learning about witchcraft, as I experienced them:

Taking everything you're told at face value.

Deciding you don't like/won't use/will change some of what you're told.

Realizing that most of the historical claims you're reading are absolute bullshit. Everything is a lie!

Getting more into actual history and rejecting anything tainted by historical inaccuracies. Folk magic!

Deciding not to base your practice on actual historical accounts of witchcraft which were given under torture.

Learning to enjoy useful bits of technique while ignoring related historical claims.

Appreciating people who admit that they just made up/figured some shit out and there is no lineage associated with it.

In closing, you don't need the pretense of history to legitimize your practice. We can move beyond that.
