My favorite simple wards to guard the home

Hanging rosemary above the doorstep, and/or above doors of the house for protection.

Sprinkling a line of dried red pepper on a windowsill, to counter a curse.

Placing a mix of dried & ground eggshells and black pepper in every corner of a room to keep out unwanted spirits.

Placing a decoration representing a witch in the kitchen, to keep away illness and to favor health.

Crafting an effigie (no matter how crude!) and make it into the guardian of your home by charging it with your intent of protection and placing it near the front door.

Crafting small witch ladders to hang around the house.

Something I feel like people getting into folk magic need to understand, for many people of many backgrounds, is folk magic started as a means of survival. It was struggle magic, and it is still struggle magic.

Where I'm living now and where I'm from, people planted by the signs to ensure their crops wouldn't go bad before harvesting. People used ocean water to soothe joint and muscle pains when they got old. People studied the native plants for medicine and were mindful to only take what was needed. People did little rituals and minded their grannies' words to keep their good luck. If they didn't know how to do something (or couldn't), they went to people who did.

Learning folk magic to reconnect with ancestral traditions from before your time is valid. Learning folk magic to connect with and work with the land is valid. There are many valid reasons to take up folk magic. Still, understand that folk magic is survival, and folk magic is community.

🃏 Astrology Observations Pt2 🃏

Pandorasworkshop

❕ slightly nsfw ❕

🎱 Taurus mars like neck kisses maybe a little more if there are harsher degrees

🃏 Cancer mars can like dominant people and it can also indicate parental issues

🎱 If you have a fifth house overlay synastry with someone BE CAREFUL cause this is an indicator of having children or adopting pets with someone.

🃏 8th house overlay synastry can give enemies to lovers. Its a very intense synastry and can also be an indicator of possessiveness or obsessed with the planet person.

🎱 Living on your Jupiter MC line can bring you much success in business and give you good social opportunities.

🃏 Pluto lines are scaryyyy they bring up trauma, and make u rebirth entirely. Ancestral trauma is sometimes healed in these places on a Pluto DC line.

🎱 Having your rising in someone else's Venus and their rising in your Venus is positive for relationships.

🃏 Venus in 2nd house love language could be physical touch or gifts

🎱Venus in 6th house love languages could be acts of service and quality time

🃏 A lot of filmmakers have 6th and 12th house placements.

🎱Models tend to have Mars, Sun or Neptune in 10th or 1st house.

🃏if you have any questions don't be afraid to ask and if you want me to review anything just lemme know 🃏

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.

Hate to be the bearer of bad news for some of you, but magic as you know it would not exist without Christianity, Islam, or Judaism.

Practicioners from these three faiths have contributed more than you'll ever know to magic thought and theory- to the point where you've probably picked up a "Witchcraft" Book and haven't even realized that a majority of the information inside is sourced from, if not taken verbatim, from their work.

Like, I'm not kidding.

These mystics and their work were foundational.

Pshh, hey. If you are in a budget or if you have to hide your practice, I have some witchy tips for you.

• You don’t need to have an altar. But if you want to, creating an altar on a wooden box is great; you can collect stuff to put in there and you can hide it under your bed.

• You don’t need crystals. Common rocks can be energised to act with a certain intention and they work just as well. You can also associate the place you got the stone/rock from with an intention, such as: a rock from a river or sea can be used for cleansing, purifying, taking energies away from you. A stone found at the property of a hospital can be used for health spells. These are vague examples, so I might make a list later on of all kinds of things you can do with mineral founding.

• Energised water is a great offering to most entities. Water holds memory and it’s easy to energise it with a certain intention if you concentrate.

• You don’t actually need candles. For many deities, an object that remembers you of them works as a taglock, an identification of the deity you’re worshipping. Besides, many spells do not need candles to work, such as: ritual baths, petitions, etc.

Have fun, and remember that your practice isn’t meant to look the same as other practitioners’. We are supposed to do things our own way, as long as it doesn’t harm anyone or anything.

What's your favorite "unusual" cleansing method? (i.e., not smoke, bells/chimes, water, sun/moon light, other commonly-recommended actions)

Mine is the "time out" method. I picked it up from playing D&D where it's a common practice to put D20s in dice jail for rolling badly or "misbehaving." I genuinely find it really effective. Sometimes, a thing just needs to be set aside to settle down and go back to neutral.
