100 Witchcraft Tips in 100 Days!

Day 3 - How to Turn Herbs into Loose Incense

Turning your herbs into a blend of loose incense is a wonderful way to connect with the energies in your plants. It not only can be used to make your home or living space smell nice, but can also be used for a variety of practices. Whether it's for smoke divination, cleansing, or spells there's a blend for every intention.

Gathering Ingredients

There are 3 types of ingredients used for loose incense; herbs, resins, and wood shavings. Herbs are the most versatile of the bunch. There are a plethora of different herbs each with their own correspondences. Some notable basic herbs that every witch should have laying around somewhere include basil, bay leaves, chives, cilantro, dill, oregano, mint, parsley, rosemary, and thyme. Resins are your tree saps, these include frankincense, myrrh, pine sap, and dragon's blood. Wood shavings are self explanatory, they're pieces of bark and wood from trees. Make sure before proceeding that you know the herbs, resins, and wood shavings are safe to burn. Some herbs, resins, and wood shavings can be toxic to humans and pets.

Preparation & Blending

To prepare your herbs to be blended into your loose incense you want to make sure they're 100% dried to ensure they don't grow mold and they burn well. You can dry your fresh herbs by hanging them upside down in a well ventilated room. Once the herbs are dried, use a mortar and pestle to grind dried herbs and resins into either a fine powder or coarse blend, depending on your preference. As you grind these herbs focus on what they do and how they contribute to your intention and blend them together. You may need to adjust the ratios depending on the strength of each ingredient, but you'll figure that out as you learn more.

Binding & Burning

Binding is an optional step when making loose incense, however, adding a small amount of powdered charcoal or gum arabic can help make your blend burn more evenly. When you're not actively burning your loose incense make sure to store it in an airtight container so it doesn't loose it's potency. There are multiple methods to burn loose incense, however, I like to create sigil shaped incense trails. There are multiple ways to make incense trails. One of such ways is to spoon the powder into a mold placed on a bed of ash, this method originates from China. The method I use includes pouring it out in the general shape of the sigil, then I pat it down with my fingers and fix any errors I may have made when compacting it. Once you've made your trail you simply light one end and let it burn.

Simple Blends by Intention

Rosemary (Protection, Purification) - Potent protector, often used to clear negative energy and set boundaries.

Bay Leaves (Protection, Strength) - Used in this blend to amplify the shielding energy.

Warframe Beginners Guide

Have you been wanting to get into Warframe, trying to get a friend into Warframe, or are already playing and struggling?

This can be your full guide to the basics of Warframe, feel free to share and send this around!

What is Warframe?

Warframe is a sci-fi fantasy 3rd person co-operative shooter game. It is free to play with zero paywalls and no pay-to-play aspects. It has dozens of hours of amazing animated story quests, cutscenes, and dozens of NPCs for you to meet and interact with.

This game is +10 years old with that much content. +10 years of content. If it feels like too much, just take a breather and step back. You don't need to know all of this, just take a look when you're confused or frustrated. Its an amazingly fun game but you can't start a hobby/game by diving into the deep end on late game mechanics and story (So push aside all the stuff you've seen for Warframe 1999 it will make sense in time)

And yes, there is both cross-save and cross platform play.

And for the love of stars above, play your first handful of missions on solo until you are comfortable playing with people who will speed blitz through the levels. Many high level players will knock out earlier missions for one reason or another and entering a stage and realizing extraction is ready before the lotus is done yapping isn't always a great feeling, so take it slow.

How do I play?

In general, its a 3rd person shooter. You have a primary weapon, a secondary weapon, a melee weapon, a companion (you don't start with one), and your Warframe. Each Warframe you play as has 4 different activated abilities and a passive ability, meaning they all play very differently. You go from node to node on the star-map battling enemies and trying to gather resources and defeat the enemy factions of the game. For now, just worry about doing that.

The movement is difficult

It can be, but it takes time to learn. Its a new game, and the unique movement keeps it fluid regardless of what you're playing. Take some time and experiment If you need a stress free environment to practice, try bullet jumping and rolling around an open world lobby like Cetus or Fortuna to practice.

Why am I not doing enough damage?

Mods. No, not game Mods. In Warframe you will pick up mods that allow you to change your weapon to deal additional damage types, enhance the critical chance or damage, modify fire rate, and many more. This is the main progression mechanic. Almost anything in Warframe is viable as long as you mod it, so there is a lot to cover.

How do I use Mods?

In your arsenal, which you unlock during the tutorial quest "Vor's Prize" you have the ability to modify/upgrade your equipment with Mods. Each mod has a lot on their display but your main focus should be the cost of the mod (top right) and the description of what it does (bottom).

What does the cost mean?

Each piece of equipment can be leveled up from levels 0 to 30. At level 0 they have 15 mod capacity, and for every 2 levels the equipment gains the mod capacity increases by 1 (So 30 mod capacity at level 30) Remember this cost is only for that piece of equipment, you can mod every part of your build including Warframes, all weapons, and your companions

I'm at max capacity and still not doing enough to get through my missions Upgrade your mods. I will explain why this is way more important that you may think Weapon-A is rank 0 (15 mod capacity) has a base damage of 100 and you have a fire elemental mod (Hellfire) and a cold elemental mod (Cryo Rounds), both with a base total of 6 mod cost each and giving +15% damage. With a total of 12 mod capacity you can make your weapon deal 100+30% elemental damage. Or Weapon-A still being rank 0 with 15 mod capacity and 100 damage has a single elemental mod installed on to it, max level Cryo Rounds (11 cost for +90% cold damage). So now that mod, with 1 more capacity for other mods to wriggle in, deals 100+90% elemental damage. Upgrading your mods can make you soar

How do I get new weapons/Warframes?

Firstly, you can use in game currency to purchase blueprints from Weapons normally only need specific resources and then can be crafted, so the hunt for that isn't bad. Warframes needs parts blueprints to be acquired and the built, usually a systems, chassis, and neuroptics. These can be obtained from defeating bosses in Assassination missions (Except for Vor on Mercury, he gives 2 weapons).

What the hell is mastery rank and why are weapons locked behind it?

Mastery rank is a lot of things, but all you need to focus on is this:

Mastery Rank is based on how many unique weapons and Warframes you have leveled up

As Mastery Rank increases, so does your base mod capacity (If MR > Weapon level, then it uses the mod capacity of your MR rather than the weapon level)

It is a way to slowly introduce weapons and funky unique mechanics with said weapons to players instead of bombarding them

It limits how much progress you can make with any given faction in a real world day, so if you want to level up your standing with a faction you should also focus on leveling up your mastery rank

What are Relics? (Lith, Meso, Axi, etc)

Your one-stop-shop for "prime" materials. Primed weapons and Warframes are special versions that have increased base stats to make your modding have that little bit of extra oomph You take the relic into a relic mission and kill the golden glowing enemies. They have a chance to drop reactant, a resource you need 10 of before you complete your objective. if you get the 10 reactant, you will get one of the 6 rewards from your relic. If you play with other people, you will have the choice between all of the opened relics once you complete your objective meaning that if you got something you already have and your buddy gets something super rare, everyone can just choose to get the super rare thing.

This game seems like it is very grindy/has a lot of grinding.

The one downfall to Warframe F2P is time. Crafting times, time spent in the open worlds gathering resources, time spent popping open relics, its the only thing premium currency can help you with. If it helps, don't spend your time actively trying to do the thing to get the thing to do the thing to get the thing to- Just relax and have fun. I've spent god knows how long mining and fishing in the open worlds because I thought it was super fun and neat, and when I started trying to progress through those areas stories and factions I had tons of resources to do exactly that. Don't rush. Take time to enjoy the game, Warframe isn't going anywhere for a long time.

However I heard they are working on a system to allow players to get un-tradeable premium currency by doing certain quests/missions a few updates for now, so whatever that may be if we get it could help.

How does Warframe/Digital Extremes stay afloat?

They Listen To The Playerbase And Maximize Potential Fun Rather Than Profits.

DE rarely nerfs things and instead likes us to have a power fantasy of a game where we can kill hundreds of enemies in a few blows and light up rooms like a firework show gone wrong. They make their game so fun to play and stay responsive with the player base so people feel inclined to spend money because "I love this game and hope they keep making more" I've probably sunk ~$200 into Warframe and I will keep giving them my money because I love the game. I don't feel pressured to do this, I don't even really feel stressed or worried about FOMO because Warframe always comes through with the ability to nab things from old events and even bringing some back around for a 2nd time.

If you have any further questions, comments, or concerns, please let me know and I will add it to this list!

Tomato Triumph: A Beginner's Guide To Growing Tasty Tomatoes In Your Garden

Are you ready to embark on a green adventure in your backyard? Growing your own tomatoes is not only a rewarding experience but also an exciting journey into the world of gardening. Whether you're a complete novice or a seasoned green thumb, this step-by-step guide will help you cultivate delicious tomatoes right in your own garden.

Getting Started

Choosing the Right Tomato Varieties

Before you dive into the world of tomato growing, it's essential to pick the right varieties for your garden. As a beginner, start with easy-to-grow options like cherry tomatoes, Roma, or Early Girl. These varieties are robust and forgiving, making them perfect for first-time gardeners.

Picking the Perfect Spot

Tomatoes love sunlight, so choose a spot in your garden that receives at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight each day. Ensure that the soil is well-draining and rich in nutrients. If your soil needs a boost, consider adding compost to create a tomato-friendly environment.

Planting Your Tomato Seeds

Timing Matters

Timing is everything in the world of gardening. Plan to plant your tomato seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last expected frost in your area. This gives your little tomato seeds a head start before transplanting them outdoors.

Planting Depth

When planting your tomato seeds, follow the rule of thumb: bury them twice as deep as their size. This helps the young plants develop strong roots. Use seed trays or small pots filled with seed-starting mix for the best results.

Transplanting Seedlings

Outdoor Transition

Once your tomato seedlings are about 6-8 inches tall and have a couple of sets of true leaves, they are ready to move outdoors. Choose a mild, overcast day for transplanting to reduce stress on the young plants.

Proper Spacing

Give your tomato plants enough room to spread their roots and grow. Plant them at least 2 feet apart to ensure good air circulation, which helps prevent diseases.

Caring for Your Tomato Plants

Watering Wisely

Tomatoes like their soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water them at the base to keep the leaves dry, reducing the risk of fungal diseases. Aim for about 1-2 inches of water per week, adjusting based on weather conditions.

Fertilizing Tips

Feed your tomato plants with a balanced fertilizer once a month to keep them well-nourished. Avoid over-fertilizing, as it can lead to excessive foliage growth at the expense of fruit production.

Staking for Support

As your tomato plants grow, they might need a little support to keep them upright. Use stakes or tomato cages to prevent sprawling and ensure proper airflow around the plants.

Harvesting the Fruits of Your Labor

Knowing When to Pick

The most exciting part of growing tomatoes is, of course, harvesting them! Wait until the tomatoes are fully colored and slightly soft to the touch before plucking them. This ensures optimal flavor and sweetness.

Enjoy the Fruits of Your Labor

Congratulations! You've successfully grown your own tomatoes. Whether you slice them for a fresh salad, blend them into a savory sauce, or enjoy them straight from the vine, the taste of homegrown tomatoes is unbeatable.

Troubleshooting Tips

Dealing with Common Issues

No garden journey is without its challenges. Keep an eye out for common tomato problems like pests, diseases, or nutrient deficiencies. A proactive approach to addressing issues will keep your tomato plants healthy and thriving.

Conclusion

Growing tomatoes is a delightful and gratifying experience that anyone can enjoy. With a bit of patience, care, and a touch of green magic, you'll soon be savoring the fruits of your labor. So, roll up your sleeves, put on your gardening gloves, and let the tomato-growing adventure begin! Happy gardening!

In today’s digital era, where websites and web applications are integral to daily operations, the demand for versatile developers is on the rise. This demand is primarily driven by the need for individuals who can handle both the front-end and back-end of web development—known as full-stack web developers. If you’ve ever wondered what it takes to become a full-stack web developer, this guide will walk you through the basics and help you take the first steps on your development journey. For those looking for a more structured path, enrolling in a full-stack development course or full-stack development training can provide a solid foundation for building these skills.

What is Full Stack Web Development?

At its core, full stack web development refers to the ability to work on both the front-end (client-side) and back-end (server-side) of a web application. A front-end developer works on the parts of the application that users interact with directly, like the design, structure, and content. In contrast, back-end developers handle the server-side, dealing with databases, authentication, server logic, and APIs.

A full-stack developer has proficiency in both these areas and is capable of working on all aspects of a web application. This skill set makes full-stack developers highly sought after by tech companies looking for versatile engineers who can build complete, end-to-end solutions. Many aspiring developers pursue a stack developer course to gain the skills necessary to succeed in this field.
