Astrology observations

If this does not apply to you then keep scrolling. They are not all facts but my opinions and things i’ve noticed. Love you.

Scorpio moons are one of the kindest people out there.

Libra placements other than the sun, have an unique looks and features and way of thinking. Especially Libra risings.

Leo suns are typically very shy or quite closed off and mostly quite difficult to get close to.

7th house suns have a slight scorpio energy to them if you look deep enough.

People find it hard to understand someone with a 12th house aquarius chiron.

Scorpio mercuries are always mistaken for the power that they actually have. Never ask what they really think of something if you don’t wanna know. They are one of the smartest mercury placements out there. And their observing abilities are insane.

Scorpio mercury + virgo venus knows how to hit the spot in every way. Good and bad. They are too intelligent for this world.

Saturn in virgo/6th house always took responsibility even if it wasn’t directly handed to them. They were always mature and intelligent, even emotionally sometimes. Even from the youngest years they were aware.

Sagittarius jupiter always has one of the greatest success strategies, but don’t always go 210% out to follow them and make them reality. (Look at the other placements too.)

Some Gemini suns with sagittarius moon are really rude verbally to people who are not obeying or if they don’t get what they exactly want to people who did nothing to deserve it. (Look at the other placements too.)

Gemini suns who are aware of themselves and their emotions, also connected to their inner self or overall spiritual or in good contact with themselves are out of the world beyond. I worship you guys.

Most sagittarius moons have a very limited way of thinking and outlook on the world and people that is very hard to expand.

It can be hard for a Capricorn moon to move on from one topic to another in a quick time span. BUT IT IS 100% OKAY!! Some people might get quite frustrated with it.

ARIES VENUSES ARE SO PRETTY AND COOL mostly their features are a chef’s kiss. Also if you do not already know. You need a lot of red colored clothing and stuff. Or to have a red undertone. You’ll thank me later if you didn’t already know.💋

It’s sometimes really hard for an aquarius venus to find what they TRULY like or to find their style. They mostly experiment a lot or not at all. It’s just a long and hard process to find what suits them the most.

Aries placements are mostly highly corny in their relationships.

Love, Tsunami ~ <3

But that is all for now. This was actually my first post ever. I really hope that you liked this and i would love to read comments about if you guys relate to it! Alright, love you!

Last week, this post made it to my dash, and it reminded me of the experience I had a little over a week ago:

I woke up early in the morning with sleep paralysis, and in the middle of my twilight sleep panic, SOUNDWAVE showed up.

I’m dead serious—I remember him looking at me, and he didn’t have his visor on, so I immediately recognized him as my Soundwave.

And he proceeded to TELL me what to say to break the paralysis.

​I don’t remember exactly what he told me, and I chalk that up to my disorientation because Hello??? Soundwave is here????? Talking to me???

But I remember being desperate, and I wasn’t about to say no to Soundwave. lol

So I said the words as loudly as I could in my head, and within seconds, I was free.

It was…an experience, to say the least.

I’m still lowkey freaked out that it happened…but you know what? I’m glad The Blorbo in my head is finally paying rent. It took him long enough. zhdhfkgk

Thanks for the help, Soundwave.

Familiar

“A familiar spirit is the double, the alter ego, of an individual. It does not look like the individual concerned. Even though it may have an independent life of its own, it remains closely linked to the individual. The familiar spirit can be an animal.” -Pierre A. Riffard

Historically a familiar or sometimes called an imp was thought to be a lesser demon sent to help a witch with her spells. Commonly familiars were a gift from the devil or from another witch. Meaning a familiar was a witch’s companion, alter ego, personal demon, ect. That led to many of today’s common familiar animals to be those associated with evil or the devil. Black cats, ravens, hare, toads, rats.

Firstly, Not every witch has a familiar. Either by just never wanting one or not needing one. So keep that in mind.

A witch’s familiar, also sometimes referred to as familiar spirit, is a spirit who assists a witch in their craft and spells. They will help teach and lead a witch on their spiritual path.

They can be assigned to a witch, appear when they deem a witch is ready for them, or be gifted by another witch, usually down a family line or by a mentor.

Can a pet be a Familiar?

The answer is a very simple and probably disappointing: most likely no.

Though, there are some specific situations where that isn’t the case.

It's important to know the difference between a pet and a familiar. Pets have a strong sense of energy. They may enjoy being around as a witch works because they can sense the magic in the space. But it is no more than enjoying the energy and enjoying being around someone they love.

A familiar is a fully conscious being.

They make their own decisions and are usually around to teach their witch something.

A familiar can choose to do good or evil. If they aren’t treated with respect they have been known to cast jinxes or even curse their witch.

Can I pick my familiar?

No, most of the time you can’t even make them come to you.

A witch may want their familiar to be a dragon or a wolf. But no matter how badly they wish and hope that most likely won't be the case.

A familiar itself is a spirit. They can take many shapes: from animals to supernatural beings; from the largest of beasts to the smallest of insects. Some may never even take a physical form choosing to stay a spirit. And some may have a physical form but choose to appear in a spiritual form. With Familiars the possibilities are limitless.

But no matter the case, their size doesn’t dictate their power.

With this in mind it's best to avoid naming your familiar. They have a name already. Instead ask them their name. They'll answer.

A relationship with a Familiar is very beautiful. They are a spiritual companion or spiritual partner. They are a spirit that works consistently with their witch. This isn’t a spirit that is being worshiped. This is a spirit that chooses to work beside someone. A singular companion, co-worker, or friend.

It is beneficial to give a Familiar offerings, as you would give gifts to friends or family. As a way to show appreciation, say “thanks”, or just boost their energy. A witch’s bond with a familiar is a personal powerful relationship. And honoring that relationship can really do wonders.

Some simple ways to bond with a familiar

Leave them offerings.

Buy or make them a collar

If the familiar physically lives with you, You may ask if they want the collar. If not you may place the collar on your altar, shine, or place of honor for the spirit.

Carrying a piece of your familiar with you.

Having their whiskers in a jar, bones from animals of the familiars preferred shape, Keychain or jewelry depicting their image.

Spend time together

Talking, being around each other, taking time out of your day for them

Provide them protection like they provide you.

For myself,

I recently acknowledged my own Familiar. This being why I wanted to write this post.

I have very dull emotions, having suffered from clinical depression during my childhood. And still actively suffering, although no longer clinically. So when I get bursts of extreme happiness, it catches my attention.

A few weeks ago, I was so suddenly overtaken with a deep feeling of awe and joy that I was almost brought to tears after seeing a crow. I love crows. Seeing them always makes me happy, but I have never reacted to one like this. I've never reacted to anything like that. The joy I felt was wild and burning, a rare feeling for me. I saw three crows that day. I noted the first two as I like them but otherwise ignored them. Since crows are very common where I'm from, I just assumed the weather was nice enough for them to be out and about again. Until the third. Reacting so extremely to one in a way I have never done before instantly caught my attention. I gave myself a few days watching the skies and trees for crows. I didn't have any intention to jump to conclusions as my emotions are not my strong suit, and again, crows are very common. But, since then, I haven't seen or heard one crow. It's back to them just being nowhere to be seen.

I took this experience as my introduction. On par with the act of a neighbor you've never officially met yet have shared a yard with for years working together on vibes alone. Suddenly, coming by with fresh cookies, a bottle of wine, and a two-person plan to take your shared garden to the next level.

Having been searching for my familiar for some time, I missed the small signs she had been giving me for years. She had been actively communicating with me and helping me along my path, and I just didn't realize. Learning Tarot was with her help, along with my studies into spirit work and death work. She has been by my side learning along with me. Only when I stopped actively seeking one out did she consider me ready for an official meeting.

PROTECTIVE WARD: THE THREE SISTERS OF ROSALIA

hello everyone — i’m back from my little sabbatical with a pretty ubiquitous ward. what you put into this ward is what you get out of it, and the limits of this ward are the limits of your creativity + resourcefulness. if you’re nifty enough, you’ll be able to use this ward for any type of purpose freely.

think of using this spell as downloading a program — in order to gain access to the copy of the program you’ve downloaded into your device (which in this case, downloaded into your reality), you must agree to the terms of use and understand the consequences that will ensue if you misuse this spell. it’s embedded into all copies of the spell cast, and any attempts to tamper it will be met with consequences ranging from the ward being disabled, or you being blocked from accessing any of the spells and spirits i’ve created in general.

anyone who is seeing this likely doesn’t have to worry about any backlash from the spell — the main rules:

A) don’t attempt to use this spell to intentionally harm / sabotage me or my loved ones with anything in their lives. this WILL work against you.

B) don’t attempt to change the source coding of the servitors (in this case, the three sisters) of this spell. while you can have them do various things + there are few limits to what you can stretch the spell to do for you — don’t try to control these spirits as if they were your own. this spell can be an incredibly useful tool for you and benefit your life, but don’t get too hasty about changing around the spell’s composition.

C) you can create something separate INSPIRED by this spell (w/ credit!) please treat this creation of mine with respect — in the best case scenario, any infringements will simply not work. if mimicking this spell comes from a place of envy, jealousy, or any baneful energies that encourage you to steal it and claim it as your own, your work will work against you. please use this with an authentic heart.

unsure of any of the conditions above before using? want some clarity? need to be reassured? feel free to dm me and i’ll address any concerns that you have.

now that we’re through all the formal stuff, let me get into the spell.

III. ADDITIONAL DETAILS / SUGGESTIONS.

I. LORE

notes: why would i need this?

you know how in more popular forms of paganism, there is mythos that gives context to the energies that you’re working with + give you a deeper sense of how that energy will work with you and your purpose? it’s like that.

much like how devotees to aphrodite know her origins, correspondences, and relations to certain energies — those who work with the three sisters should know some lore to have a grasp on what they’re working with. it’s like how a person devoted to apollo would know the lore he has as a bringer of plague or healing would know his lore before appointing him in supporting a healing spell.

this mythos isn’t literal - this fictional story is a simple aide to preparation for the spell.

by reading this simple story, you’re already connecting to the energy of the three sister’s ward.

use this short story as a little mirror of divination to see if you’re compatible for this spell. if you feel creeped out / too intimidated after reading, this spell may be too heavy for your energy. i don’t recommend those who are strictly “love, light, harm none” to engage with this spell. if you’re someone that feels guilt for fighting back against things that seek to harm you, this is not for you.

if you feel vindicated/allure/relief/hope at the idea of having strong protection that is both offensive + defensive towards those who seek to harm you, this spell is definitely going to serve you well.

this story is written with heavy amounts of metaphors. it’s not designed to be read as you would read prose - think of it as poetry. you fill in the gaps of this story with how you resonate with it.

enjoy!

THE THREE SISTERS OF ROSALIA’S FOREST.

The Three Sisters of the Forest originated from a solitary witch named Rosalia, who created and summoned them in order to protect the forest she dwells in from being decimated and dominated by enemy ritualists that aim to use the forest for their selfish purposes.

These enemy ritualists, were only enemies because they disregarded her forest’s wellbeing and brought harm to it in the process. They excessively harvested the abundance of her plants, leaving the flowering bushes near the lakes barren.

Scorned and with a pounding heart, Rosalia decided that all the harm brought into this forest would turn into beneficial and nurturing energy for the forest.

She summoned the spirits of the three lakes of the forest: N’vai, U’nai, and Ktaa.

Each lake spirit had a different personality and different attributes of the element of Water. While the lake spirits were different in performance, they shared the foundation of water’s energy. Fluid, transformative, yet destructive.

N’vai was the western-most lake spirit of Rosalia’s forest. She was like a fly-trap. Her lake is surrounded by colorful fruits and animals that were appealing to the eye — but for anyone who knew better, all of the appealing colors were a trap. The nature around her trapped the greedy and baneful. Those too haughty would feast on her abundance of fruits, and be left there to be paralyzed and at the mercy of the nature around her. Gradually, all the entities there would become one with the fertile soil around her lake. Venomous, she is. The wise know to avoid what seems easy to conquer.

U’nai was the eastern-most lake of Rosalia’s Forest. She was absorbent and resistant to anything coming her way. Spirits passing through U’nai’s lake made sure to not stay there too long, for they would have a fate of eternal slumber within her area. Like Midas’ touch, all the entities around her would slowly slip into becoming one with her. Some dying spirits experienced it as sinking into quicksand. Others experienced it as feeling a euphoria they melted in, until they went into a deep eternal sleep. Regardless of how their fates came, U’nai has worked with N’vai protecting undesirable energies away from the final lake spirit of Rosalia’s forest — K’taa.

K’taa was the southern-most lake of Rosalia’s forest. She was the spirit closest to the cottage of Rosalia, and where seeds would go to flourish. Her waters guaranteed growth and nourishment to any energy she was told to give power to — she loved sleeping at the bottom of her lake, letting each breath of hers give life and power to the water. Rosalia would use K’taa’s water for scrying, blessing, clarity, healing … it felt like K’taa was the purified life force of those who scorned U’nai and N’vai, transformed into pure energies used to the benefit of Rosalia and the peaceful inhabitants of her forest.

The lake spirits heard Rosalia’s plea, and fulfilled it by unifying and creating an energetic ward around the forest — this ward, however, was special. It knew to target those who were desecrating the fruitful parts of the forest for their own.

Under these wards, these enemies turned into flies that were going to unknowingly decompose in their traps.

The Three Sisters of Rosalia’s forest united to materialize the protective spheres of energy surrounding Rosalia’s forest, emphasizing their unique traits in each layer of the sphere.

Rosalia’s enemies were met with destruction the next night they came to disturb the peace of her forest again. N’vai was the outer sphere of the ward, and they met her wrath for daring to attack the area — no being that comes with malice in this forest shall come out.

The soil upon the bare feet of the enemies shot feelings of needles through their feet. It was like each grain of dirt looked up to stab the feet of the enemies who stood above them — shooting pains made them collapse to the ground, paralyzed. Their deeds were stopped right then and there, and their process of being decomposed into being pure energy that circulates the forest.

Any enemy that decided to tread here sealed their fate. They will become the pure water that waters the fruits in this forest — they will be the nutrients that the trees leech upon to continue standing tall. No weapon shall prosper in this domain.

The ground slowly swallowed them up, one by one. While N’vai struck them down and swallowed them into the Earth, U’nai would absorb and neutralize their beings into part of the forest — U’nai would feed what she got to K’taa.

From how the waters K’taa produced became more potent, versatile, and sacred, along with the peace she experienced with no ill-willed beings treading on her forest — Rosalia knew that her forest was now protected.

Who needs to waste energy on actively fighting when you can simply use them as a resource anyways?

No ill will shall cross into her domain without consequence.

II. THE THREE SISTERS WARD: INSTRUCTIONS + SIGIL SHEET

NOTE: before you try casting this spell, KNOW WHAT YOU ARE PROTECTING AND WHAT YOU’RE PROTECTING IT AGAINST.

this is a long-term ward that has offensive capabilities, and it’s best that you’re using this ward for something you’re VERY SERIOUS about guarding. if you wouldn’t fight to defend it, do not ward it with this spell.

do the grounding, centering, and cleansing you need to do before / during / after the spell. i’m not responsible for what’s up if you fail to do that.

1) Write your petition to the Three Sisters of Rosalia’s forest.

Your petition will consist of the subject you want protected, what you are protecting the subject against, and any other clauses that you would like to include while working with the Three Sisters ward.

Your petition should be clear and direct, addressing each problem you want warded off — and preferably, how you want specific events to be dealt with. The more detail you push into your ward petition, the better this ward will function on your behalf.

If you’re having trouble writing the petition, visualize your ideal outcome + petition actions that the ward can do to bring that ideal vision to life.

If you want help with this, you can commission me to write a detailed and strong petition for your subject — we’ll discuss the needs of your ward 1 on 1, and work on your petition until you are satisfied.

2) Name your petition, and turn the name of your petition into a sigil.

It’s like compressing a folder with a ton of information into one .zip file. It’s more effective to sigilize the petition than have the entire petition laid out in the casting circle — trust me.

3) After necessary energetic procedure (cleansing grounding centering etc) on any piece of paper, draw the casting triangle below, and draw the sigils in THIS ORDER: N’VAI —> U’NAI —> K’TAA —> YOUR SIGILIZED PETITION.

4) Near the casting circle, repeat the following incantation TEN times, observe any visualizations that arise as a result:

“N’vai protects endlessly, U’nai transmutes endlessly, K’taa’s fruit of abundance shall always bless us through her graceful energy — may the Three Sisters of Rosalia’s lake rise and bring these petitioned desires to me.”

(nuh-vEYE, Oo-nEYE, Kh-Taah, pronounciation, if you need it. “ai” is like “EYE” here.)

5) Close the spell with “The deal is sealed, the wall is raised, all undesirable energies are destroyed today.”

6) Take the paper and burn it somewhere safe. If burning is not an option, destroy it by soaking it in water and tearing it. The spell is over, and the ward is fully raised and activated.

III. ADDITIONAL DETAILS + TIPS

In the event you want to edit your petition (you probably will), keep your petition written out somewhere safe + editing. The ward will update with the changes of the petition, since it is connected to the sigil you destroyed in the casting triangle.

You can communicate with the Three Sisters through any divination method that’s most comfortable for you. I’ve found that dream-work is a solid medium, along with clairvoyance + clairsentience.

In the event you want to dismantle / relocate the ward, re-do the ritual but have the petitioning sigil be a petition of removal.

i've decided if some sort of theoretical atla animated film about the earth avatar has to be set in the modern verse it should either be like INCREDIBLY different from ours to stop things from being ... bad. and that the spirit world influences have really ramped up so that it still feels like magical realism or w/e. but alternatively it would just be really good if it wasn't set in like the 2020s but very obviously the 70s-90s that would be awesome for me personally

Submachine 10: the Exit

[psychopomp-recital]

One thing that those just beginning to enter this kind of practice fail to understand is that first impressions are everything. Spirits won’t respect you if you go in demanding everything of them without a relationship. Nor will they trust you if you yourself aren’t protected properly, or if you are too protected.

After all, would you trust someone who doesn’t know how to put on a seat belt to teach you how to drive?

Would you listen to a stranger on the street demanding work to be done before even asking your name?

Would you really accept the statement “I trust you” if the person saying it is wearing a bullet proof vest “just incase”?
