I decided to try to make witchcraft goals! April's is making 5 entries in my book of shadows about crystals. It's something I've been procrastinating on, so it's time to get it done!

For the ask characters headcanons, Pale King :3

(Also, speaking of Pale King. I fucking adored the posts talking about Vesla luring Auric away from his work with Froot Loops and swaddling him up on blankets when she's caught him. You know for a fact that after a minute or more of fighting, he eventually falls asleep and is out for HOURS)

(I also love those posts. <3) But yeah, here you are, opening the floodgates and allowing me to ramble about Auri headcanons. Be scared. <3 /lh

So, for sexuality headcanons, I've always headcanoned him as a polyamorous, pansexual individual. He's like,,, the most poly mf of the characters besides his wife. He doesn't have a gender preference at all, he tends to just gravitate to people more dominant than he is (Haha, little runt bitch baby sub. /aff) For gender headcanons, this one is slightly more specific than "He is just a dude bro homie." As a Wyrm, he was born intersex and technically genderless, and even though he retains his intersex characteristics as a little fork man, he prefers a masculine label over a feminine one, though he doesn't have any dysphoria either way. Of course, I have several ships with Auri that I am a Certified Enjoyer of: I like Auric and Vesla, Grimm and Auric, and Viktor (NKG) and Auric together respectively. :] As for BROTPs, Auri is an interesting case because he is a fucking hermit and has trouble making friends, but he is pretty decent friends with Ogrim and Lurien. I'm sorry, but Ogrim and Auri are total besties; Auri refers to him as an "acquaintance" (even though Auric likes his company), but Ogrim thinks of them as total buddies, total homies. As for Lurien, Lurien has a huge fuckin' crush on Auri and really wants to hold his hand and have Auri take him out to dinner and such. Auri is obviously dense as all hell and does not notice Lurien's crush on him at all, and thinks of them as good friends. They have a lot of similar interests and get along really well. They sit in the Watcher's Spire, and drink tea and coffee (Auric does not like tea) together, watching the rain patter on the window as they chat about themselves and the Kingdom. It's nice. :] As for NOTPs, uh,,, anything involving his kids. Fuck PK x PV, all my homies hate PK x PV (and any other gross incest shippings). A random headcanon,,, oh fuck, there are so many. Well, I'll just choose this one: He's primarily a carnivore and actively avoids other foods outside of meat. His diet consists of coffee, raw meat, cooked meat, and sweets. Sweets and coffee are the only non-meat shit he eats at all, lmao. My general opinion on him is that I LOVE HIM WITH ALL OF MY BEING AND HE IS MY VERY FAVOURITE. Thank you for coming to my Auri Ted Talk.

2 Pages of my Book of Shadows: Self Love Spell Fail

Long post! woah. Okay I created this spell myself, I've tried it once and I just... wasn't feeling it. I wanted to post it and give myself an opportunity to learn from it, get the motivation to try again. Not everything goes perfectly, and sometimes the vibes are just off. I plan on trying again for Ostara, with a clearer head.

2/16/2024 Self Love Enchantment Spell

Supplies:

2 different pen colors (one for love, one for hate)

2 paper

Phone

Rose water

Thing to Enchant (I chose lotion, a hair clip, and perfume)

Rose Quartz

Orange Crystal

Clear Quartz

Black Crystal

Selenite

Right off the bat, I improvised with the clear quartz, black crystal, and selenite. They're not in the original, they're something I added in the moment. Although there's nothing wrong with occasional improvisation, my intention with those wasn't thought through, so it was hard to focus on what they were supposed to do. Also, I originally wanted to wear headphones to listen to music. I decided not to because I thought the spell wouldn't charge properly. The noise from around my house was extremely distracting and made it difficult to concentrate on my intentions. Not only that, but I also did not cleanse my brand new crystals that I had gotten. That's not all! I like to curate playlists for these kinds of things. I have a study playlist, a relaxing playlist, and a calming playlist. They did not fit this particular vibe, so I figured I would just let the algorithm on YouTube Music guide me. this did not help.

Steps:

Using the first color pen and paper, write down things you hate or dislike about yourself. Then using the second color and second paper, write down things you love or like about yourself.

Take the hatred paper. Hold it, put all your hatred inside it. Allow your pain to flow into it. Now rip it up. Destroy it. It's not gone, but it has no power over you.

Gather the pieces into your hands. Focus on these words;

"I am more than this. I am greater than my pain. I am worthy of happiness. I am worthy of love. I am worthy of peace. I am worthy of joy. I am worthy of the time and patience it will take to move forward. I am enough as I am."

Now throw those pieces away.

I think I should a) get rid of the hatred portion of this entirely, b) do some kind of cleansing after throwing away the hatred or c) do something that puts more emphasis on the love portion of this spell. Come up with another affirmation chant. This was the part I focused on heavily, I couldn't move past the negative mindset.

Fold up the second paper, preferably on the smaller side. Write the rune Raidho on it. Raidho is symbolic of the journey to self-love. We're seeking progress, not perfection.

Place the crystals around your enchantment items. Using rosewater, connect them in a circle (I DID NOT GET THE CRYSTALS WET, it was just a connect the dots kind of thing in a circle). Place the folded love paper inside the circle.

Listen to positive music. Dance, sing, whatever. Visualize charging your spell with the joy and love that comes from just being in the moment.

Anddddd the vibes weren't all there. Here's my reflection after my attempt:

2/22/2024 Failed Attempt at Self Love Spell

I don't know, the vibes were just off. Like I wasn't in the right head space for it. I felt this weight keeping me to the ground. My arms and legs felt sore. Once I realized it wasn't working I just felt defeated. It was really discouraging.

Maybe it's because I'm sad. Like I've been thinking I'm going to cry for days now. I keep telling myself "okay if I have to cry that badly it'll just happen" but it doesn't. I want to try again. maybe instead of dancing I can charge the spell with affirmations. Maybe I take a breath on it? Work on something else?

I did in fact, take a beat. That's the purple italicized font. Somethings that I've noticed is that I have been exhausted ever since I tried this spell. I am completely restless. Normally I'd be able to just knock out after a day or two of not sleeping well. I am now on day 5 of some rank ass sleep. It's most likely because it's getting warmer and I cannot sleep in a room over 65 degrees. Mundane or magic? Probably mundane, but it's something to note.

I wanted to post a "fail" because I really want to contribute to breaking down my personal obsession with perfection. It's totally normal to get discouraged, shit if I said it wasn't I'd be a hypocrite. But in the end, this isn't really a fail. As cheesy as it is to say, I learned some things. Thank the gods I found a post on safely cleansing crystals.

That's all! Take care! <3

i think I keep getting confused on what my book of shadows is meant to be. i know it’s a journal where I record my witchy journey. I mean it more like. I keep expecting myself to write down, for example, the meanings of runes and then just instantly have it memorized. no need to look back at that.

which like.

no.

i wrote that down to go back to it. because it’s easier and more accessible to me. it’s super distracting for me to go on my phone or computer to look something up, that’s why the information is in the notebook.

[squishhy-wyrm-witch]

Something small that I’m proud of; I’ve gotten nearly 30 pages into my book of shadows and I’ve been able to accept that it’s not perfect. Sure there’s been a couple times where I’ve gone “yeah no this paragraph is not communicating what I want it to” and rewritten something. But it’s got scribbles in it and not everything is perfectly symmetrical. Things are in an order that makes sense to me and only me. Because it’s for me!

My craft isn’t perfect, why would the spiritual diary that I keep track of it in be?

[squishhy-wyrm-witch]

went to the library, cuz I wanted to see if they had Assassination Classroom manga (they didn't, I got Hell's Paradise instead) and just for shits and giggles I went to see if they had witchcraft books. and they did! I checked out Wicca Crystal Magic: A Beginner's Guide to Crystal Spellcraft by Lisa Chamberlain and Witch Life: A Practical Guide to Make Every Day Magical by Emma Kathryn. I already started the crystal book, and I'm taking notes on it, cross referencing, all that research stuff so I can eventually put a crystal section in my book of shadows. I'm so excited! Kind of prepared myself for there to be nothing, but I was wrong!!

the thing that surprised me the most was they had an app???? Like, my library card is there, I can keep track of the books I want to read, see their availability across the county and the next three, and put them on hold VIA the app?? and that's not the coolest part!!!!

nononononononono

You can renew a book. From your fucking phone.

They even had a self check out, so I didn't have to make eye contact with the librarian while checking out my silly crystal book or my weird manga.

Welcome to my Blog!!

My name is Charlie/Wyrm!! Not sure if I like the new blog name but I'm trying it out. I’m 21 and I use they/them pronouns. I started practicing witchcraft in high school, but I kinda dropped it once the pandemic started. Now I’m back in it and I decided to make a tumblr to share my journey back into spirituality.

Some of my interests include

Norse mythology

Divination

Crystals

Incorporating spirituality into everyday life

This is a short list, it’s just the 4 things I’ve stayed interested in for the past 6 years. In some ways I’m starting off from scratch; I used to feel very connected to deities and now I don’t feel drawn to anyone specific. I’ll reblog or edit this post to add more to it as I go. For right now, welcome! Hope you like it here!!!

DNI: look if your instinct is to be an asshole or a dick, just fuck off yeah?
