Thanks again for the help in getting our kickstarter for the "This is Fine: Maximum Cope" Video game over the line! It made it and you can still late pledge to get a copy, tho it will cost ya a couple bucks more. Either way, that's that on that!

And this weekend is the Big Skeleton Comic Book show in Easthampton, MA. Saturday only, 10am - 5pm! I'll have the first Greatures mini comic, some books (No gunshow), and "This is fine" products I got from a licensor (think wallets, lanyards, pocketbooks, etc).

Unrelated little music video from @deadlycomics I thought was sweet.

Okay bye bye

Basics of Witchcraft

Sources

How to find reliable sources and knowledge! Some tips and tricks !

1. When researching online use terms like “magick” and “witchcraft” or “the craft” not just “magic”

2. Always cross reference, factual information will be shared multiple times by different people

3. Check authors, are they actually witches? How long have they been practicing? Are they apart of your religion/belief group?

4. Trust your intuition and be realistic just because someone is saying a spell works in 5 minutes doesn’t mean it will

5. When buying books read into the authors about me, where dotheir beliefs stem from? What practice are they apart of? etc.

6. Be mindful of where your information is being sourced, Wikipedia? Wiccapedia? Reddit? .com sites? .edu sites? Take everything with a grain of salt

working with pendulums

now, theoretically pendulums could be anything, however I recommend something uniform (ish) in shape and fairly weighty. you need to be able to discern when your pendulum is just moving because of the wind, and when it's moving to tell you something. some good examples are crystals, raw or cut, and metal. look out for resin and glass dupes as these do not work as well

i've seen a few theories on how pendulums work, whether they have their own spiritual energy to move themselves or if they can stimulate your muscles just subtly enough to move them in the right directions. either way, don't worry too much about your own interference here. more often than not, you'll be able to tell when they're moving on their own and when it's just shaky hands/wind

HOW TO START

first of all, find a pendulum that speaks to you. then ask it if it's willing to work with you

second, i usually like to cleanse my pendulums, but not too hardcore. just some salt, selenite or herbs will do the trick here, we're looking to wash other people's hands off here, not the actual spirit of the thing

then, when you first start speaking with your pendulum, you want to tackle the conversations with something in between a "you work for me" and "you work with me" vibe. still ask permission before someone else touches it, before you take pictures, etc. i've even known people to ask before using them at all. whatever you think is right

it's also important to get to know your pendulum. what direction is yes? what direction is no? not all pendulums swing the same way. additionally, most pendulums i've met have name and pronoun preferences, so suggest whatever calls to you and then ask if they like it

DECIDE THEIR PURPOSE

i've known people to use pendulums for a variety of things. some examples include:

-assistance with tarot

-regular divination (answering the yes/no questions you ask)

-connection to a god (this is what I do)

-talking with spirits (see image below for an alphabet chart)

-and in the darkest of times, it's nice to just to have a friend

again, it's very important you talk to your pendulums before you decide because sometimes they don't wanna be tied down

HOW TO INCORPORATE A PENDULUM INTO YOUR PRACTICE

in tarot:

1) after shuffling, separate your deck into a number of piles, have your pendulum choose which pile you should read from (this is especially useful for very broad or general readings)

2) after shuffling, lay out a series of individual cards that you feel drawn to. then have your pendulum choose individual cards (this is especially useful if you're doing a reading for someone else, since you can have the recipient hold the pendulum that chooses the cards)

with deity work:

1) have them represent an altar or space dedicated to your deity. this might not serve any practical use, but a guardian for an altar is never a bad thing

2) dedicate it to a deity and attempt communication with them. this can be iffy for some people, depending on your beliefs. in my eyes, a god does not have to be one corporeal being, having to dedicate their singular consciousness to a singular task as a human does. gods are multifaceted, primordial beings that have fingers in many different pots, so to speak. therefore, it is not outside the realm of possibility to communicate with a deity in this way, since moving a pendulum to say yes or no isn't all that deeply personal. REMEMBER, if you do this, the pendulum's spirit is still there, and you are more than capable of separating a pendulum from a deity or communicating with the two separately OR harming the pendulum while trying some risky business with a deity

WHAT TO DO WITH THEM IN THE MEAN TIME

when i'm not using them, i like to keep my pendulums hung up on my altar space, overlooking my room. however, i DO NOT keep them in direct sun because the crystals will fade with exposure to UV. sometimes i'll bring them out to the window during a full moon though

some other ideas would be:

-in a window that doesn't receive much direct sunlight

-in mesh baggies (so they don't get tangled or lost) on your altar

-hung on a wall, thumbtacks are useful for this

-if you only have one or two, it's not outside of the realm of possibility to carry them around with you. some pendulums really enjoy this too

-with your other crystals, as long as they're separated enough so that they won't get tangled or lost

happy witching!

does anyone have tips on working with your intuition? to make it stronger or differentiate anxiety, coincidence, and intuition better?

i think i keep ignoring my gut feelings or maybe overthinking them too much, but i know that my intuition is strong from many previous instances that could've saved me a lot of pain if i had listened...

I feel like the weird magic has all gone missing from tumblr and if anywhere is the place for weird magic, it's... well. Tumblr.

So I'm sharing my weird magic thing and I hope others will do the same, on this post or on their own.

I almost exclusively do "negative" magic. I undo, I reverse, I banish, I drive away, and yes, I jinx and hex and will almost certainly one day perform at least one curse.

All my life, since before magic and before I knew how any of this worked properly (I had some ideas, but how and when I got them is a story for another time), I have had the worst luck. If it rained, it didn't just pour, it flooded with impunity and massive destructive force. Anything I wanted, I didn't get. Anything I asked for, I didn't receive. Anything I loved? Ripped from me, sooner or later. There is no exception to this. I was like a karmic sinkhole where everyone else's bad shit went to spare them from their consequences. When I tried witchcraft, I found it frustrating. My spells always failed. My Intuition was good, but I often second guessed it and was wrong— but if I trusted it, I was also wrong. I couldn't win.

Then I did a banishing.

This.... is also a story for another time. But I will say that unlike every other spell I tried, it worked. It worked phenomenally. For me, it was an unprecedented result. And then I started doing more. I banished my negative thoughts instead of drawing in good ones, and it worked. I stirred my tea counterclockwise, the traditional "undoing" direction and also my natural stirring tendency, and thought of my tiredness and grumpiness and pain; my days got better. Anything I have done with a pushing, shoving, breaking off intent in mind has worked wonders. Putting up walls and other protections was and is also something I'm good at, but not nearly as much as the driving away of things. And you know what? My drawing spells started to get better. They aren't good still, they're almost comically bad, like a comic-relief witch in a webcomic bad. They're not very effective. But they aren't actively drawing in the opposite if what I want them to. I'm not actively losing money to disaster every time I do a money spell or pulling in negative entities when I want to communicate with helpful spirits. My Intuition is much better now, and my discernment with knowing my own Intuition is also much better.

If you're comfortable, share your own weird witchcraft thing that you do or did. Let's start some interesting conversations on witchblr again.

I discovered that when you use a pendulum to cleanse negative energy from a room, you really have to do it in small chunks at a time.

I was too impatient to do that the other day so I tried doing the entire room at once by standing in the middle. Well the pendulum was like “what the hell, I can’t do all this at once!!” It tried, it really did lol. Swung forward for a bit, then changed to swinging at a diagonal off to the side for a while. I got so tired I told it sorry and we are finished now.

Instead I sprayed salt and moon water spray everywhere and when I tested it with the pendulum to see if it could sense any negative energy left in the room, it said no. I was pretty happy about that! It’s a great spray. Simple but powerful.

New Year, New Goals

It's been a hot minute but I'm back and I've realised something about my spiritual jouney

I was trying to push myself into action, the kick start progress in my journey that needed to be natural

This year I'm taking it easy, focusing less on active practices such as spells and instead working more on divination and deity work and working with my inner self

I think that's just what I need at the moment.

Let me know what your witchy resolutions are this year

Blessed be and Hail Loki!

Hi friends!

Could anybody recommend a favorite Etsy seller who makes divination boards or tarot decks?

Partner apparently has a secret knack for divination, and I’d like to get him some proper tools for the Holidays!
