How to talk to the wind

If the wind falls silent, she is listening to you. Speak.

Always whisper.

In case there is a wind swirl carrying autumn leaves, step back. Let her dance. 

Don’t go outside if the wind is howling. The ghosts are passing through. 

She already knows everything about you. Never lie.

You may play the flute.

Listen to storms. Don’t talk. 

She gives life to your words. Make them meaningful. Especially when you talk to her.

If she whispers in your ear, listen closely. It means she trusts you enough to share her secrets. 

Words travel far and fast. Don’t say anything that could awake the spirits. 

She has a strong temperament and gets angry easily. Make sure to always be nice to her, you don’t want to be on her bad side.

If she is talking to thunder, leave them alone. They don’t want you to hear. 

When she greets you with a breeze the following morning, pretend you didn’t hear them. 

A sudden draft is always a bad omen. 

Never, ever, complain about her. She will remember.

Me, a native person, along with other natives: Hey, you can use white sage but stop calling what you’re doing “smudging”, because what you’re doing is smoke cleansing.

Random White People: YOU HEARD THEM, FOLKS. NO WHITE SAGE. SAGE!!!!

Whenever a witchblr sees new content

*Us hitting the LIKE and REBLOG*

[smudging-sage]

people when you tell them u r a witch: *think of you surrounded by crystals in a dark room, summoning spirits with pretty fancy rituals, drying your herbs in a cabinet, writing in an ancient beautiful grimoire with curly calligraphie, talking to your familiar who help you and do everything you ask*

Me: my practice is basically reblogging a bunch of witchy stuffs on my blog for later but later never comes and I just forgot about them

[smudging-sage]

So you all know that I do sigil requests here

But I don’t think a lot of you know that I run a fiverr where I sell sigil designs.

These sigils that I sell are:

~Sigils Meant For Non-Magical Use

~Sigils of Names

~Sigils Of Your Favorite Quotes

~Sigils That Contain More Than One Phrase

~Sigils For Tattoos

~Sigils For Your Fandom Related Needs

~And More!

Sigils of the things mentioned above are not something I will do here for free upon request. If I find any in my inbox I will simply direct you to my fiverr.

There are some images in a sparse portfolio on my fiverr gig, but there’s a limit to how many images I’m allowed to upload there

So if you would like to see a larger portfolio of my designs and capabilities here is the link to that portfolio

Any sigils requested on my fiverr will be delivered within 2 days, if you want something about the sigil tweaked a bit or redone altogether, depending on the package you buy you can have one or two of those done for no extra charge.

Packages start at $5.00 USD
