Hello, I am the Sunray Witch.

I go by He/They/Deer/Sun Pronouns, although just using He/They is alright with me

I want to make a page of my experiences of witchcraft and what I learn.

My main goal for witchcraft as of right now is to find things that make everyone's life a little lighter, figuratively and literally.

Washing your face? Cleansing.

Exfoliating? Banishment.

Moisturizing? Charging.

Obsessed with how Professor Layton is set up with the vibes of having something mystical and surreal afoot, but EVERY mystery has a very specific, logical (???), non-magical resolution. It’s a science fiction story masquerading as a nostalgic urban fantasy.

But also Luke can talk to animals. There is no science behind how. He just can.

I just saw a TikTok just now about “how to become a witch,” with a list of steps for beginners to follow. The first two things on the list were to buy books on witchcraft, and then to buy a bunch of materials. So here’s me reminding you that you don’t need to buy anything to become a witch. Sure, buying the tools is fun and all, but it isn’t a requirement to getting started. Witchcraft is a spiritual practice, not a consumerist hobby.

My Filthy Boy - part 1

bf!wooyoung x reader x witch/hybrid!ateez  

Word Count: 2,042

Synopsis: (it came to me in a dream) Getting caught fucking your boyfriend in the living space he shared with his coven should have been embarrassing- but he liked it far too much.

warnings: smut, exhibitionism, voyeurism, creampie, cursing. switch woo! switch reader! fem reader!

An: so I had this written out months ago so here is my attempt to get back into the groove of things ^^ enjoy, feedback is greatly appreciated :')

“Fuck Baby! so perfect up there-”

You slammed your hips down to meet Wooyoung’s hips, angled just right his cock hit your sweet spot each time. “Bet you love the view huh baby? Tits bouncing as I fuck myself on your cock. Give me more of those pretty sounds you make. Come on you can do that for me can’t you?”

He moaned out in response, hands gripping at the blankets beneath him. What had started as a cute floor date with netflix in the communal living space of his shared home had turned into the two of you making a mess out of each other, as it usually did when you and your boyfriend were left alone.

The two of you had at least waited to get touchy until after the rest of his housemates had left to do something Wooyoung hadn’t indulged with you. Probably had something to do with the fact that they were witches, or warlocks, but they said they would be gone for a view hours.

So either you had been bouncing on Wooyoung’s messy cock for a few hours or they were back early: a fact neither of you noticed until Wooyoung was tilting his head back and letting out the sweetest moan just for you.

Focused on your own pleasure, watching your boyfriend beneath you as you continued to roll and bounce your hips just right; Your head lolled forward a bit, hands on his chest as you let out your own breathless moan.

You felt him twitch beneath you, head still tilted back and pointed towards the front door when he drawled out: “Like the show?” By the smirk on his lips you realized he was talking to you.

Head snapping up your hips halted the moment you saw seven other males standing just in the entranceway, gawking at you with a mixture of expressions. From their jaws hanging open to teasing smirks to shyly trying to hide their clear interest in the sight you and Wooyoung no doubt made; you had clearly been caught.

Mortified, you squeaked out, moving to pull yourself off of Wooyoung only for his hands to latch onto your hips and roll you both over so you were pinned beneath him. You tried to protest, pushing at his chest and whining, only for him to shut you up with one thrust with perfect precision to your sweet spot. “We never stop a ritual once we started, Kitten, and this is as primal a ritual as any.”

“B-b-but-!” You could hardly get a protest out with the way he was jackhammering into your cunt with a newfound excitement. You could tell he was enjoying this, and none of the onlookers were making any protests either.

In fact Wooyoung wanted to show you off more, leaning back and lifting your hips up to meet each of his thrusts, groaning at the way your whole body bounced. A few resounding groans a few feet above you insinuated they were enjoying the sight too. “Never answered me guys: are you enjoying the show?”

You dared to tilt your head just enough to look up, a bit too jostled to make out their expressions but from the way Mingi was working his pants off to free the clear bulge residing there- as well as the way San was palming himself through his leather pants, were clear indications they liked this too. All of them answered Woo young with either a fervent nod or a low hum that was like a pleased growl. Out of embarrassment, and due the slow build of your climax twisting in your stomach, you had to look away from them.

You weren’t a witch, you weren’t blessed with a coven or even the knowledge of how one works but you were fascinated by them. That’s how you had met Wooyoung- attempting to steal glances at the local head Coven of warlocks just out of curiosity. Perhaps this was a normal thing for them, watching their brothers fuck their lovers- perhaps they even fucked them together.

At that thought, a guttural moan ripped through you, your head turning to look  up at Wooyoung. There was a sheen of magic in his eyes, a cheeky grin pasted on his lips as he reached forward and flicked his thumb against your clit. Perhaps you liked being watched, or would even like being shared, because the idea filled you with arousal that matched Wooyoung’s.

He recognized the way your eyes glazed over and felt your legs tremble around his waist as his thumb worked in tandem with his thrusts. “Come on kitten- come with me- show my brothers what pretty sounds you make for me.” He all but threw your earlier words back at you with a cockiness that just turned you on even more.

Nodding quickly, You gripped the blankets beneath you, pants and breathless moans growing in volume as your embarrassment over the situation evaporated until you were chanting Wooyoung’s name and chasing your high.

You were vaguely aware of a few mutterings from the others, a few growls, but all you could focus on was Wooyoung until your head was spinning with your high and your were clenching down on him so hard that he barely lasted another thrust before spurting his seed into you. He fucked you through both your climaxes until he pulled out, growing at the sight of his cum already leaking out of your abused hole. “Fuck that’s an even prettier sight.”

Near your head there was a whine. “I want to see-” You managed to open one unfocused eye to find Mingi peering over you, inhaling sharply as Wooyoung proudly showed off his work. “Fuck her pussy looks good enough to eat.”

“You want a taste now?” Wooyoung collapsed on your other side, wrapping an arm around your waist and pulling you closer while your body and mind were still reeling in post-orgasmic bliss.

Mingi whined again, nodding. It wasn’t until his face was mere inches away from your cunt that it fully clicked what was happening and you quickly shut your legs with a vice grip. “What- the fuck Woo?” Sense seemed to return to you, pulling you away from him and grappling for the blankets to cover yourself. “You should talk to me about stuff like that before just offering it up!”

“Okay- Kitten, are you okay if Mingi eats you out? My cum and all?” He replied instantly and without a hint of shame, propping himself up on his elbow and resting his head in the palm of his hand.

Your cheeks burned with newfound embarrassment, unable to look at any of the others and just glared as menacingly at your boyfriend as you could. “I-is this normal for covens? To just share like this?”

“It’s normal for us.” Hongjoong was the one who spoke up, drawing your attention. He seemed the least affected by what had happened, aside from Yeosang. “He probably planned this.”

Your head swung back to Wooyoung, jaw falling slack. “What?”

“We were only going out for a quick dinner.” Seonghwa offered, adjusting his pants as he stepped up behind Hongjoong. You noticed San was long gone, as was Jongho and Yeosang, leaving just Mingi behind you and Yunho still by the door seemingly rooted in place.

“Woo said you would be gone for a few movies worth.” As it clicked, you unleashed your rising ire on your boyfriend, slapping his arm a few times. “Dammit Wooyoung! You sneaky filthy little bastard!”

He winced but laughed, grabbing your hand and pulling you down to him. “But you love me. Come on, I want to share you with everyone. Can’t I?”

You bit down on your lip, avoiding his eyes as you practically melted against his chest. “I- do they want it too?”

“Yes.” Both Mingi and Yunho breathed out together, voice strained.  Mingi took it a step further to whine behind you. “Please?’

Burying your head into the crook of Wooyoung’s neck, you could feel the others watching you. “Can I... can I think about it? This is really sudden and I-”

“Of course. Take all the time you need. Whatever you decide we’ll accept. Right Wooyoung?” Seonghwa warned, moving over to Mingi to pull him back.

You caught the man beneath you faking a salute up at Seonghwa out of the corner of your eye. “Yes sir.”

Vaguely you could hear the rest of them shuffling away, Mingi’s whines dying out until it was just you and your boyfriend. Slowly you sat up and looked down at him with a pout. “Why didn’t you talk to me baby?” There wasn’t a hint of disgust in your tone, more so confusion and a bit of disappointment because you prided yourself on how honest the two of  you were. Wooyoung usually talked about everything with you, even stuff most couples might find tmi.

He avoided your gaze, running a hand up your thigh. “Other lovers the others hand hated the idea when we would bring it up. We aren’t like other covens, we’re not lovers or in love but we’re not a typical family vibe either. We do things together, and when we love someone outside the coven, we all agreed its all or none. Which, as I said, made all the others flee.”

Your eyes widened, taking in this new information. “Is that why Yeosang and that one girl stopped dating?” Barely a few weeks after you had started hanging around, in fact shortly after Wooyoung asked to be your boyfriend, the girl Yeosang had been dating had just stopped coming all together. Now it made sense why Yeosang had been so sad, and the last to warm up to you.

Wooyoung nodded. “Yeo didn’t want me to end up with a broken heart too.”

“Oh baby- I’m not going to end things with you over this-” It didn’t seem to be just a kink any more, yet you needed more explanation. “Do I have to love them all? Like fall in love?”

He shook his head. “Not really.You don’t have to love us, but be open to the idea that we can love you.”

It felt somewhat like a hivemind deal, and you weren’t particularly against it. “I think I get it. I don’t have to claim all of you, but you all have to claim me? It’s like a ritual to fully accept me as yours, as they are as much a part of you as your magic?” He had briefly explained it like that a while back, and I had found it to be oddly charming. They weren’t partners, they weren’t lovers, but somehow the eight of them were so much more. And before Wooyoung could fully accept me, they all needed to accept me, in the way a lover should.

When he nodded, you continued on: “I... do I have to sleep with them all by myself?”

Noticing you weren’t shying away from the idea, merely curious and a bit confused, Wooyoung sat up with a widening smile. “We both would. Fuck them that is, one by one. I can watch, or they could, its just- leave the details to us, all you would have to worry about is enjoying yourself.”

He leaned forward and pressed a kiss to your cheek. “But if you accept, you can’t back out. This is our equivalent to marriage, to making you a part of the coven. You can always get another lover, but you’ll be stuck with us in a sense. We don’t let our covenmates go.”

The idea of being one with their coven, with fully immersing yourself into their world, had your heart racing. It was curiosity that brought you to them over two years ago, and it was something much deeper that already had you bonded to them. “Alright- Let me sleep on it but I- I think I want to do this Wooyoung. I want to be with you, here, as part of the coven.”

The figure eavesdropping from the all felt their heart pound harshly against their ribcage, gripping their chest. You were going to be their first like this... but could you really handle how filthy it was about to get?

The Wolf and The Witch

Part 1/?

Steve knows better than to enter the Witchwood. He’d been warned from the time he was a child, back before the wolf, that it was home to its namesake. And not just any witch, a dangerous one. One that had killed an entire hunting party, unprompted, with the flick of a finger. None who have entered those woods since have ever returned.

Steve knows better than to enter the Witchwood, but he doesn’t have a choice. Robin is slumped over his back, hands clenched tightly in his fur, clinging desperately to consciousness. He can feel her blood, warm and sticky, matting the fur of his back. His own gait is slowed, every step jolting the silver teeth digging into his right hind leg and sending sharp pain shooting through him. He’s not sure how much longer he can run, and he can hear them - the bloodthirsty cries of the townsfolk dead set on his murder.

They had been found out. So many cycles of living in this town, living among its residents as a friend and neighbour, and still they’ve all turned on him. Of all the times for it to happen, too. It was the moon he had agreed to make Robin a wolf. She had already been weakened from the wolf taking hold when they had been attacked, the silver already a weakness but her body not yet given over to the strength of the wolf.

Steve wishes he could take her to Nancy, knows Nancy would help despite everything, but the townspeople have blocked them off, funneled him in his blind panic. His only hope is to lose them is the wood, but even then he might lose Robin to his own fumbling medical knowledge.

But first, he has to get away from their pursuers. Steeling himself with a deep breath, Steve enters the Witchwood.

————————————————————————

Eddie is no stranger to people trying to do him harm. It’s been a constant in his life from the time he was a child, long before his gifts had awakened. And one that had- well. It’s been a constant of his life, sure as the cycle of the moon and sun. So he notices the prickle of someone entering the woods, but he gives it no regard. It happens a few times a year, that someone gets it into their heads that they will be the one to kill “The Witch of the Woods”. None ever even make it to him, losing themselves in the enchanted trees.

These trees are older than him, and their magic is their own. They like him and welcome him among them, but otherwise are hostile to outsiders. In the beginning, he had tried to help those who became lost in the woods, but those days have long since passed. Despite what his uncle says about his soft heart, Eddie’s become bitter and jaded and he no longer pays any mind to those who venture into the woods.

But this time, something is different. Eddie feels the disturbance of someone crossing into the forest, feels the shift of magic as the forest warps around them, and it’s… different. The ways and paths of the trees are second nature to him, he can tell by the shimmer of magic against his skin which paths have been revealed and which hidden away and this…

The forest is being lenient, gentle. The interlopers are shown the ways to peaceful places, soft and danger-free. Eddie can recall only a few times that the forest has been kind to intruders, and it has almost exclusively been to children.

So he’s more than curious already when he feels the buzz of more people crossing the boundary into the woods. A lot more. And Eddie realizes that this hunt is not for him.

The trees are not so kind this time, opening its twists and turns like a maze, a trap for anyone foolish enough not to turn back immediately. They don’t, of course. They never do. Eddie pays them no mind, drawn instead by curiosity to the two that are being pursued.

He steps between the trees, slipping into a space that’s folded away between reality, picking his way with ease through paths that are there and paths that are not until he emerges at the edge of a small clearing, moonlit and mossy. Theres a tiny spring-fed pond and there, limping toward it, is a wolf. It’s huge, the size of a small bear, with a strong frame and thick russet fur.

It notices him at the same time as he notices it, and it’s massive head swings to face him, teeth already bared in a snarl. It’s hackles raise, and it turns fully, squaring up, a threatening growl rumbling across the little clearing to him.

Eddie steps back, already gathering his power until it glows around him with dark energy, because this is no normal wolf. Even without the size and the silver trap clamped around its leg giving it away, he can see it in its eyes, feel in its presence that this is something more.

He recalls his childhood, the warning tales at his mother’s knee. He remebers later, freshly chased out of town and taken in by his uncle, watching as the old man leafed through his ancient book and warned Eddie that he wasn’t the only dangerous thing in the wilds. Eddie has no doubt that he’s come across one of those dangerous things now. He looks at the wolf and knows exactly what he’s seeing.

A werewolf.

Finally, it is complete!

Oh. My. God. This took way too long to complete, but finally Noelle’s character sheet is complete!… at least for now 😅 the first half I completed very fast and I had all of these amazing ideas and it turned out amazing, just how I imagined it… but then came the second half, and I had all these things I wanted to share about her character, but then I started loosing steam and hit a huge art block. It took two weeks more then I had initially intended because I had little motivation or inspiration to add on to it, but slowly and surely I finished it.

I understand that this is a bit different from my other “gameplay related” comics, but i thought it would be fun to share who my MC is, and to give a more clearer look on her personality and background for anyone who is curious or wants to perhaps draw Noelle with there Mc (which btw I would absolutely LOVE ❤️ if you ever want to, plz do, just tag me ❤️❤️)

There’s so much more about her character and background that I still want to share, however there’s a it too much to fit in a scrapbook page so perhaps in the future I will find the time to type it out and share it, or even slowly reveal it in some short stories I’m thinking about (perhaps start ao3 and what not, idk just a thought 😏) but for now this is what I shall reveal for now. Also plz ignore if some of her history doesn’t make complete sense, I’m still working on it…

[firefly-fell]

Whatever it takes.

[neontokyoo]

MC: How do I deal with my enemies? Sebastian: Kill them MC: That's a bit extreme, I was hoping for a more passive solution Sebastian: Kill them only a little?

[hiswitchcraft]

I see a lot of beginner tips on the internet that seem to be for people who have already gotten started, how about some tips from someone who has no idea where to start at all?

Tips for Witches Who Haven’t Even Started Yet

Heads up this guide will be designed assuming someone has learned modern witches are a thing, is interested and maybe wants to be one, but has done none or very little research.  First let’s go ahead and get rid of some COMMON misconceptions people come into my DMs with when they’ve barely begun... 

There are all things you do not have to do to be a witch: 

Do evil things or be a “satan worshiper” 

Be a specific religion, because witchcraft is not a religion

Work with deities or spirits of any kind 

Be a woman, witch is a gender neutral term

Be Wiccan or Pagan

Pick a witch type 

Spend a lot of money 

Be in a coven or know other witches 

Have a big or pretty altar, grimoire, ect 

Have tarot cards or any tools for your practice gifted to you

One final disclaimer Another thing to go into your research with that you may not know if you’re just starting at the very beginning is that there are many paths, practices, belief systems, ect besides the eclectic form of witchcraft I teach here and that you will commonly see presented online. I feel a lot of people may benefit from a more structured, or different path. Keep an open mind. You might come across something more fitting.  So if the above is all false, are there any rules? The only rules I ever push around here are have an understanding of what you’re doing and its consequences, and do not appropriate from closed practices!  Okay, so I read all of the above, now what? If you don’t know where to start at all? Research. Research is always where you should start. That sounds overwhelming and may be something you’ve already seen a few times but it could be as simple as a google search to start and I will be here to make it as simple as possible with this guide. Also as usual my DMs are always open if you have questions. 

Onto how to do that research...  First here is a google doc full of links I’ve compiled that may give you somewhere to start! With that, here are some suggestions for what to research. 

Follow your interests For someone who has just begun I would highly suggest following your interests. What I mean by that is if anything interests you, keep googling, try Youtube maybe, check if your library has books on it, ect. Take notes on what it is, why it interests you and what you find. There are tons of practices and subjects witches study so just keep learning at your own pace and incorporating what works.

If you need somewhere to start, here’s some general topics I’d suggest:

Types of magical/Pagan practices

Cleansing

Charging

Grounding

Warding

Banishing & binding

Divination types

Tools & ingredients

Closed practices

If you’re stuck hopefully doing some searching on the above topics will get you down a rabbit hole of interest. Below is also a bunch of info on how to do GOOD research. Doing good research is very important to me. 

Research tips  Think critically and ask yourself questions like this while researching: 

What are the qualifications, motives and biases of the person giving me this information?

Who recommended this source?

Is anything they're implying or advising here a threat to my or someone else's safety or health? Do I know that this suggestion is safe? 

Does this line up with other things I know to be true? Like science, other factors about witchcraft, your beliefs, ect. Beliefs won't dictate fact but often in witchcraft personal belief is the only thing that will sway you towards one answer or another.

Does it make sense? Like logically does it make sense to you? Why? Just ask yourself why. Ask them why. Ask them for sources or an explanation.

Have I seen someone say this before? How often? Apply the above questions to that source or sources as well.

Here are all my other general research tips: 

Take time to take things with a grain of salt. Try not to categorize them as right or wrong until you're absolutely sure.

Cross reference everything you find. The answer you see the most is likely right. 

Understand that many things are up to personal belief and for many questions the answer will be "Depends on the witch." Both answers might be correct. This path is yours and often you have to dictate how things will work. 

Check out your local library.

Use books that aren't marketed as being about witchcraft or the occult. Folklore, local flora and fauna, nature, botany, gardening, foraging, geology, these are all useful subjects. 

Ask real, experienced witches. Do not rely on them as your soul mentor and ideally and contact multiple witches or groups, but do ask.

Don't worry about making a fancy grimoire or book of shadows or having all the correspondences in the world written out. That's the least of your worries, take notes on the essentials and things that interest you personally. Some things to include are the subject, date & source of what you're reading.  

Take notes, here’s how I mentioned note taking in there and I definitely have more to say on that! A lot of the time people get overwhelmed before they’ve even done anything remotely “witchy” because they feel like they need to have a big fancy grimoire. This is not the case. You can make a google doc or shove a bunch of notes in a binder. This tip has helped a LOT of people including me. I do strongly suggest taking notes, but take them your way. 

General Tips And finally here are some general tips to reference or keep in mind as you research and maybe start practicing witchcraft.

Don’t believe everything you hear and take information with a grain of salt. Most things to do with witchcraft depend on the witch. 

Lots of witchcraft supplies can be found or made. It doesn’t have to be expensive.

You can find supplies at mundane places, the dollar store, craft store, library, ect. 

Follow your intuition! One of the most important things here. To be a good witch and form a solid, personal path you have to know and be able to tune into yourself. 

Experiment! Try different things. Maybe it works, maybe it doesn’t. 

When you don’t know what to do, return to the basics. Whatever that means for you. Cleansing, warding, your deities, ect. 

If you feel overwhelmed, start with just one topic or two! You don’t need to take in witchcraft as a whole right away. Same goes for if you return from a break from the craft. 

Finally remember that you are always welcome to DM me for any reason with any question or concern throughout your research and practice! After my hiatus I’ve learned helping you guys one on one is my favorite thing, so remember I’m always here 💕

[folkandbooks]

Some women used to do (or still does) love spells out of necessity. For them I hold no judgements. But if you’re trying to bind your high school crush into being obsessed with you I’ll just say I have opinions about that.

[roaenexists]

not my dumb ass thinking i can make an oracle deck of watercolor and then proceeding to attempt it despite all evidence pointing against my success
