-`🕯 INTRO 🕯´-

Although I'm part of the spiritual community, I'm still quite skeptical whenever I see a spell or ritual, be it online or in books, asking myself if it'd work or not. Wondering if the source of such spells and witchy things were actually being honest. So! Today, I'll be sharing some witchy things (as not all of them were spells IMO) that actually worked! Still, I want to clarify that these things worked for >me< and I'll just be sharing my experience with the things I did that worked best. Feel free to also share yours in the comments!

-`🕯 WITCHY THINGS THAT WORKED 🕯´-

❅ herbal baths and magik baths in general, is some of my favorite things to do. Well, I actually love showers and they are such a scared moment to me, and whenever I need some deep energetical cleansing and boost, they always work for me. However, I want to point out that I wash my hair after finishing the herbal bath. So, I recommend doing this on wash hair days. My favorite combo is thick salt and rosemary. How I did it: ⁍ 1-step, prep: cleansed and energized the materials. ⁍ 2-step, make rosemary water: I didn't use a specific amount, but I'd say 4-5 cups of water and half a hand of rosemary is enough. Let it boil for about 5 minutes and then let it sit for 15 minutes with a cloth on top. ⁍ 3-step, thick salt scrubbing: the scrubbing should be done from your neck to your feet. Don't scrub too hard, you don't want to hurt yourself. Visualize negative energy or the power something/someone has over you leaving your body. DO NOT SCRUB YOUR GENITALIA WITH IT OKAY? ⁍ 4-step, rosemary shower: after the rosemary water has cooled down a bit, start to pour the water over you from your head. Now, the actual rosemary won't go with the water, so you can pick it up with your hands and scrub your body gently with it. DO NOT SCRUB OR WASH YOUR GENITALIA WITH THIS WATER. ⁍ 5-step, clean your bathroom: chances are you've made a mess! ❅ banishing candles is something that I did when I was on low energy but needed banishing ASAP. I also didn't have all the ingredients I wished for, but it worked with the ones I had! I made a total of 2 candles, and I placed one in the living room and the other in my bedroom. How I did it: ⁍ ingredients and tools: black candle, red candle, dried pieces of garlic, corn hair, thick salt, essential oil (I used lavender cause it was the only one I had lol), mortar and pestle, paper (to protect my table from the wax), candle holder (further explanation about candle holder later), and fire. ⁍ 1-step, prep: cleansed and energized the material. ⁍ 2-step, candle dressing: I applied the essential oil to the black candle, then started to dress it with the garlic pieces. I recommend doing this slowly and dressing each "side" of the candle instead of the whole candle. With the help of the red candle, I lit it up and used its drop of wax to hold the garlic in place. ⁍ 3-step, protection ring: with corn hair and thick salt, I created a protection ring so that the candle would be free to do its job without interference from what I was banishing. I placed it within the candle holder, which was a chamberstick type. Now, I want to say that the protection ring needs to be around the candle, with a chamberstick, it was quite efficient since I could carry the candle and the protection ring mutually without getting the house dirty. ⁍ 4-step, banishing: lit it up and allowed it to burn fully. ❅ warding is one of the best ways to protect your house or personal space. It always works for me, even when done in the astral (I've done this once but it was not intentional, don't ask me how I did it because I have minimal power over my astral/mental projections still). Basically, gather up energy and release it with the most amount of anger possible, like a dog showing its teeth to an enemy, while setting out the intention of only your guides, desired spirits, and positive energy entering. Do this in each room of the house if you wish to ward the whole house, or just in your bedroom if that's better. ❅ repelling unwanted energetic interactions through anger. Well, this one is a bit similar to warding, but it's done when the so said energy or spirit is already there. I've done this in the astral too, it worked thankfully lol. Anyway, it's similar to warding, but now you have a target to which you'll direct the aggressive energy you're gathering. Together with this energy, you'll say words like "get out of here" like, screaming, either out loud or in your head. You'll hunt down the "problem" if needed. My biggest tip is to go full red mode.

-`🕯 CONCLUSION 🕯´-

So, this was it! I hope you guys enjoyed it and that I've brought to y'all something new haha. As you can see, I haven't done much lol, I don't like to venture myself too much, and spells aren't my "it" activity either. Still, even though I've done more things, these were the ones I had the best results. Either way, see you soon <3

( @esoterium asked: ❛ i had it under control. you didn’t need to do that. ❜ (Louis to Armand—is novel okay? I only know them. I…yep! Love me! It’s been 84 years since I wrote Lous! You can use show Armand tho! Catch me up??? If you want!) )

for a moment, armand is still — listening to the sounds of the dismissed vampire's footsteps as they create distance. he could have predicted what was said next, just as quickly as he can write it off. it doesn't matter. he turns back to face him with deliberate slowness. he locks onto louis, the amber hue of his dark eyes catching the candlelight.

❝ did you? ❞ it's rhetorical. armand excuses louis's protests as little more than a younger vampire's clinginess to pride and he does nothing to disguise the disbelief clear in his expression, eyebrows raising with question, and the compassionate ( sympathetic, not pitying ) exhale that follows. he perceives him as almost-human in sensitivity, in the emotions that drive him — he's fascinated. and with it, he yearns to shield, to protect ( to keep him ).

they have so much they could learn from one another.

louis isn't the same as those within his coven. he's so severed from the old ways, born detached — completely of the new world. armand craves a deeper understanding, something to light him from the inside out again. the giddiness of the macabre dramatics of the theater was beginning to wane. and if armand senses any discord between him and any of the others, he won't hesitate to intervene. did he know how easily he'd turn them to ash for him? all that he built leveled for one.

❝ that isn't what i saw. ❞

it should be proof of the devotion he was willing to offer. crossing closer, it's as if he barely touches the floor, eyes locked on louis's, standing a breath away. ❝ why do you refuse my help? ❞

"We'll be safe from the storm here, won't we?" The blonde asks eyeing the drenched cloth of her dress and her curls ruined by the rain. The storm came upon them from nothing on their daily walk. At least Mina had the brilliant idea to come here, to the abandoned church, which while beautiful makes Lucy shiver as her voice echoes in the grand building. She looks out a window watching the wind move the tree crowns and anything in its path without mercy. She gulps nervously, it seems they'll be stuck here for hours. Going outside would only result in a nasty cold or worse.

@esoterium asked:

❛ who cares if it bleeds. ❜ (tiffany from dead!eric)

She stood tall in black spiked heels adorned with various studs and sharp embellishments. Her legs were embraced by fishnet stockings, while the garter belt straps clung tightly to her plump thighs. Adding to her ensemble, she held a fluffy feather boa, accentuating her attire, which consisted of a purple and black lace corset. The corset was tightly laced, causing her ample bosom to practically burst forth. In order to make a living, she resorted to harmless lap dances, utilizing her body's assets. Surprisingly, she found it easier to control her desires after removing Charles from her life. Her mother would never have approved of a man who lacked the knowledge of how to properly treat a woman.

He's not a regular, she is certain of that. He brings to mind someone from her past, someone she disposed of by locking them in a trunk and throwing them into the river a few years ago. But it's not him. No, this man resembles someone she would have taken a liking to, with his face painted white and all. She confidently approached him, her curvaceous hips swaying as her high heels made a distinct clanking sound on the floor. Draping the feathered boa around his shoulders, she pulled him closer, placing one of her heels on the chair next to him, giving him a captivating view of her exposed thigh.

" What brings someone like you to a place like this? " Tiff inquired. Intrigued eyes studying his every move. The answer she got was not the one she expected. A little look of confusion touches her features. " What's bleeding, Darling? I don't see any blood anywhere. " Tiffany could spot blood a mile away, could practically smell it in the air.

͙⁺˚*•̩̩͙✩•̩̩͙ self-love & witchcraft •̩̩͙✩•̩̩͙*˚⁺‧͙

-`🕯 INTRO 🕯´-

Everyone mentions it, everyone talks about it, and self-love has been the it topic for about a decade now. And in the witchy community, it's not so different. Those who engage with the spiritual community in general, also know this is a popular topic. In today's post, I'll be diving into why self-love is important in witchcraft and what witchy things you can do to boost self-love.

-`🕯 WHY IS IT IMPORTANT? 🕯´-

❅ Because it involves healing, and healing is a big part of witchcraft, since you'll learn how to be your best self, you'll learn how to assert boundaries, take care of your body, soul, and mind, and much more. ❅ Replenishing energy is one of the biggest positive effects of self-love (yes, I know that the path of self-love can be tiresome sometimes, but we ain't talking about that today!), and our energy is key in our craft. Thus, when you love yourself, you choose to eat well, rest, clean the space you're in, cater to your needs, etc. By doing this, you replenish your energy and when you're charged with energy, your craft gets better, since it requires quite a good amount of energy. ❅ Respecting your limits is also a big thing in self-love which should always be remembered in witchcraft. So, you don't have to do anything that you don't feel comfortable doing or that puts you in danger. Of course, the growth path isn't comfortable and some things in witchcraft are dangerous even for senior witches, but some things can be left undone for your own sake. For example, you don't need to do big rituals, have a detailed witchy routine, make witchcraft the main priority of your life, etc. Also, remember where you stand. If you are a beginner, it's not a good idea to go out hexing or trying to work with deities or more powerful beings, since I doubt you have your psychic abilities developed and a sturdy protection routine.

-`🕯 TIPS 🕯´-

❅ listen to your body, if you're always tired, eat food with more iron, go to bed earlier and don't stay on your phone one hour before, get that vitamin D, eat fruits and veggies, and avoid processed foods as much as possible. Back pain? Stretch, have better posture. Always getting sick? Read this tip all over again. ❅ be kind to yourself, don't call yourself stupid, don't yell at yourself. I know sometimes we can be really dumb, but if you're mistreating yourself all the time and saying unkind stuff, you're being your own bully and main energy drainer. ❅ have a day just for you, in which you take a good thick salt shower and later with some herbs, wear comfy clothes and eat the things you like with no guilt, ground yourself too. ❅ create protective charms/amulets for the week. Although "protection against negative energy" is common, creating one with a more specific job might come in handy. I, for example, like the ones that help with not taking things personally, as I tend to do that. So, observe your situation and day-to-day problems to create some specific amulets. ❅ Don't compare yourself to other witches. Actually, don't compare yourself to other people, at least not as much, as I know we often compare ourselves without second thoughts. However, you must know that just because you don't have witch ancestors or you can't see spirits, doesn't make you a mediocre witch. Also, if you don't have all the time in the world to be practicing and some days you can just do the basics, it's fine! ❅ Talk to your guides, vent to them, and ask for help! Your guides have a better vision of what's going on and they are the best when it comes to helping you out, especially regarding spiritual matters. They also will know when you need tough love or soft love.

-`🕯 CONCLUSION 🕯´-

So, this was it! A brief post for today and I hope I have helped y'all! I didn't dive deeper into some things because I would go on a tangent, but self-love is key!

( @esoterium asked: 40. for a desperate starter . (nicki if you rly wanna hit hard!) // starter prompts // always accepting ! )

armand's hands grasp at nicki's upper arms, long fingers gripping tight enough to dig into the skin beneath the material of his shirt. the older vampire lunges forward with him, forcing him to the wall, forcing him to still. ❝ stop it! ❞ vocalizing his frustration, his voice comes out as a half-growl, baring fangs to make his point hold even more weight.

did he know that for all the aggression, the violence he submitted to in those moments, that he was trying to protect him? as he came so dangerously close to spilling secrets on the streets of paris ( that is if people didn't see his madness, the darkness they didn't need the mind gift to perceive ).

oh, but is he any better, dragging nicki into an adjacent alley where any drifter could see them? it might not be the time to lecture about subtlety when he'd left his several meters behind.

❝ i need you to stop. you're only harming yourself. ❞ hands never loosen their grip on him, fighting the impulse to shake him. how could he care for him if he stood on the edge of self-destruction?

[hostiae]

( @esoterium asked: 𝟶𝟼. sender takes refuge from a storm with the receiver in an abandoned church. (okay but what if i had the balls to send this to your negan from rick? what if? )

thunder rattles the church's old bones, wind testing the two-by-fours nailed to the window ( probably secured there as the world came to its gnarled, fucked up end ). negan has little faith in the rickety building, but it's shelter. it's shelter next to this motherfucking mongoose of a man that he's sure wants to take a revolver to his skull.

asshole. goddamned asshole.

together, they have to slam the barricade into place, but once it's secure and once negan is sure that they're locked in tight, he takes a step back. ❝ god damn, ❞ he breathes, finally getting the opportunity to catch his breath. the storm had rolled in too fast, interrupting the battle of wills between the two men. the dark clouds, the flash of lightning, the whistling wind — they'd be fucked by mother nature if they stayed out there too much longer.

if there was one thing that negan was good at, after all this time, it was staying alive. he's sure the same goes for rick. hell, no one made it this fucking long without a will to survive.

❝ we should hunker down in the basement, just in case this son of a bitch goes flying off to Oz with us in it, ❞ crossing the church floor, he heads for a doorway that he's almost positive might have stairs on the other side. ❝ unless you'd rather stand there thinking up ways to kill me, be my guest. but i'm going down.❞
