I very much am tempted to update the visual style of the blog a little - still very much “magnificent hidden library in the woods” themed, but much more weathered and gothic. The inside of my own witchy zone of our apartment is super Victorian and “Lemony Snicket”-ey, and I just want to have things be a little rainier and a little more candlelit over here on the ol witchblr. Thoughts?

[crazycatsiren]

Are there any witchy blogs you would recommend on tumblr?

There are many, many more, but these are the ones off the top of my head, blogs from which I've reblogged and collected a lot of helpful information for my Grimoire Pages.

Moon Sugar

[ID begin: the first image is the Moon Sugar model from Skyrim, which is a fairly chunky off-orange substance. It's in a metal bowl on a wooden surface. The second image is a picture of Moon Sugar Cane Grass from Online. The third image is a picture of the real-world sugar cane plant. End ID]

In-Game Lore

Moon Sugar came from Elsweyr. The Khajiit believe that it was given to them by Azurah but can be "corrupted" by Sheggorath. It's both a seasoning and a magical ingredient. It's refined from Moon Sugar Cane Grass and can be further turned into Skooma.

In Skyrim, it's used to restore and regenerate Magicka, resist Frost, and give a weakness to Fire.

Pop Culture Witchcraft

Moon Sugar is a pretty clear 1-to-1 with sugar, all the way down to the appearance of the plant.

@theoryofmagick has created a recipe for Moon Sugar in the past (citing another post that whose OP no longer exists) with a step-by-step guide to make it yourself, but given that Moon Sugar is a 1-to-1 with our real-world sugar, you can probably just use that and charge it with moon energy somehow.

Some ideas for correspondences of Moon Sugar:

energy (especially boosting for spells)

protection from cold/frost/ice-related spells

weakness to cold/frost/ice and fire/heat spells

Sugar correspondences can include:

drawing attention

love

sex

sweetening things up

And of course, the moon correspondences will likely line up to what phase of the moon you use to charge your Moon Sugar (should you use my proposed method).

🌟 intro and disclaimer for my Chinese folk religion resource guides 🌟

hey!! I’m Max and I’m a Chinese American witch building my craft around Han Chinese folk religion (CFR) traditions. thanks for stopping by!

I started learning about CFR this year bc the European neopagan practices I explored (Hellenic, Norse, etc) are lovely, but they aren’t my traditions. I wanted to build a practice that felt right. as I learn about CFR, I learn more Cantonese (so I can speak to my grandparents!) and come home to their practices (which my Christian-converted family has denied as superstition all my life.)

resources about ancient Chinese religion are really hard to come by. I want to share what I’m learning so anyone can learn more about their Chinese heritage or find a parallel for their own heritage discovery/learning. learning about CFR has been a big fat homecoming for me, lovely and badass and affirming in the most surprising ways, and I hope it’ll be meaningful for you too. 💓

I LOVE hearing about other witchy/mystic/magical/pagan people’s practices, so pop into my DMs anytime to say hi and chat about your craft! ofc, if you see any errors or have something I should add to a guide, please let me know. this is very much a learning process for me and I’m here for it. :)

I’d love reblogs from anyone bc the pagan community needs more POC craft resources out there! just know, this is NOT intended for anyone who does not have Chinese heritage (aka, boutta use our traditions -- which Christianity and racism erased from my life! -- to decorate your own spirituality for fun.) this is a cultural appropriation free zone friends.

lastly, giant shoutout to @theoryofmagick, @trueriptide, @asianwitchcraft, @fuckyeahchinesemyths, @vivisextion, @hanwitchx, @bisayawitch, @theleveretspirit, @photurisfatale, and @witches-ofcolor for being wonderful Asian magic resources/witch chat pals. head their way if you want more learning and community. 💓

articles that helped me as a baby witch

so i’ve been helping my friend @wholecashews get into witchcraft and this has given me a chance to go over all of the things I read when I was just starting out and think about the things that really impacted me, and I decided maybe it would be cool to post some of the links I sent to her on here as well :) 

so I’ll start with the big one: this article, Sigils Reboot by Gordon at Rune Soup, MADE ME BELIEVE IN MAGIC. Like before I was kind of like, “Sure, yeah, this sounds fun to believe in and play around with” but after I read this article I felt like I’d just found the glitch in the Matrix or something. I highly recommend reading if you appreciate an explanation of magic that leans toward the psychological side. 

this little blurb about witchcraft and the placebo effect also makes a good point about the psychology behind magic’s power. 

this thread on skeptics trying to get into witchcraft again discusses several people’s experiences with the psychological approach to magic, and was very helpful for me to read. Looking at all of these different articles as someone just starting off and trying to figure out “how does this even work?” really helped me get a handle on how magic works (to the best extent that you can even try to understand that) and helped everything suddenly feel a lot more accessible and sensible. Suddenly I was like “oh ok yes you use a red ribbon in this spell because of your brain and how it works, not just because Somebody Said So”. as a beginner that was an important distinction to make because then I began to see how I could make witchcraft my own instead of just copying people’s spells. 

to that end, reading this piece on aesthetics and mechanics of magic made a lot of sense to me once I had really considered the psychological aspects of witchcraft. it was also encouraging for me to think about my own craft and put more thought into building it. 

all of those links^ came from @upthewitchypunx‘s diy witchery resources. that page is a treasure trove, thank you for compiling it!

all of that info also reminds me of something i saw around tumblr a few times that really confused me at first: spell paradigms, meaning the assumption behind how a spell works. lots of spells don’t explicitly say “this spell will bring you money because the green candle has supreme money power or the thyme sprinkled around will attract it or etc”. instead they just sort of tell you what to do without telling you how they make things happen. the subject of spell paradigms is definitely still interesting and maybe not entirely clear to me, but I think it is related to the whole psychology aspect of the discussion. personally i haven’t really even begun to think about deities but have thought more about chaos and energy. deities is a whole other can of worms if we’re going to to get particular about how magic works, so I haven’t gone there yet. 

the witches’ workbook by @theoryofmagick is a great general primer that I really appreciated reading because it clearly lays out a lot of things that are good for a beginner to think about. unfortunately i can only find those first 2 chapters, but they are great and informative!

this post also provides a simple list of ideas for what to do as a witchling. sometimes you just need a list!

Eliza at @maddiviner has a really awesome and informative site in general. I really appreciated how well-written her new witches page is - she also does a good job just laying a lot of info on the table for you. she has a lot of good info on divination as well. 

lastly, I <3 andi grace! this article of theirs on coming out of the woo closet really helped me see how witchcraft and social justice are tied. i came to witchcraft already having radical politics, so i was not super into the very white, eurocentric, binaristic, and blissfully-unconcerned-about-cultural-appropriation version of witchcraft that came up sometimes on tumblr. this is a great and motivating read for anti-capitalist witchbabes. 

ok 2 more and then I’m done. 

Pagans of Color! Important and much-needed resources on racial intersections and practices of witchcraft - as a white person I love reading this site to broaden my perspectives. They also have a really good set of articles on there that are targeted towards white people in the witchcraft community. 

and through them I found this really great article (and here’s their notes on it too) about the toxic privilege and racism that underlies white spiritual communities and how to improve it. always good to be thinking about this no matter where i am in my craft. 

phew! ok. that’s all. as you can see i did a lot of reading starting out, and i still do a lot of reading. that’s what it’s about! hope these help :) 

[breelandwalker]

Okay, this is something I've been meaning to address for a while, so this seems like an opportune time. (Not yelling at you, theoryofmagick, just making a point.)

This is not as big a problem as social media makes it out to be. Posting pics of your spells or your workspace or talking about your castings gives people an idea of how your craft works, sure, but as to "reverse engineering" or "undoing" your spells....no.

It's certainly possible to counter people's spellwork or bind it or actively work against their aims, but this is not something that random strangers on the internet are looking to do in any kind of significant numbers. And even if they did, to what possible end? How would they even know it worked? How would the caster even know anything happened? Spells aren't going to work even close to 100% of the time anyway.

Also, how stupid would someone have to be to think it would be fun to go around testing another witch's magical defenses just to see if they bite? (Spoiler Alert: Very. The answer is Very Stupid.)

So somebody knows how you did a magical thing - so what? Learning how other people cast spells and perform rituals is an important part of magical education. Encouraging this kind of Do Everything In Secret attitude IS encouraging unnecessary paranoia. And I know where the idea is coming from - it's more leftover anxiety from the Satanic Panic that's made it's way to TikTok and become another community meme.

And let's even entertain the idea for a second. Let's say you DO have a witchy nemesis who's looking to undo or interfere with every spell you cast. Put up a reflecting ward that counters their efforts and turn their spells back on them. Problem solved.

It's fine to keep things back and not display every aspect of your craft, especially if doing so too often may lead to anxiety about your own practices or an inability to do anything without somebody's approval. But there's no need to tell people, especially newer witches, that it's because somebody might use their social media posts to harm them with their own magic.

Hey witch, here's a reminder: you don't have to show and tell every spell, ritual, or offering you do. Yes, it might look aesthetic, but you dont have to whip out your phone to snap a pic of it. Sometimes there is magic in the privacy of your craft.

[sylvaetria]

Hey, I read you answered questions on witchcraft and I'm just about starting out on being a witch and I'm just kinda lost. How do I find out what kind of a witch I am, for example? And what about room decor, plants, drying herbs, crystals, sigils and others? How do I even start being a witch?Do you have any websites or blogs (or tips?) that could help me out? Thank you ♡ x

Hi there!

You find out what kind of witch you are, by deciding what kind of witchcraft you want to practice. Most people just choose what they want to be, based off what they like, what they feel drawn to, or just what they want to do. [Here] is a list of types of witches that might inspire you / help you get started on finding a type of magic you want to work with first. This list is not extensive, and what you choose you aren’t stuck with forever - you can try other things, combine things, whatever you want to do! Witchcraft is super personal, and it’s all for you, by you. You also don’t need to confine your magic to any singular label; you can choose more than one to work with.

I picked sigil magic to start with, for example, because it seemed easy, and I knew I could draw; it also required very little supplies, and it also honestly seemed the least likely to backfire. xD My craft eventually evolved into eclectic magic, because I began using a bit of everything else (crystals, herbs, candles, etc.) in my magic to get what I needed.

As for room decor, that’s up to you. You don’t need it, though. You don’t need to *look* witchy to *be* witchy. If you need to be on the down low about your magic, you don’t have to draw huge pentacles on your walls or wear all black or anything like that to still have magic work. What makes you a witch or magic user is what’s inside you, not around you (it can help but, you know, not required). But, if you want to make your room look “witchy,” whatever that means to you, go right for it. But I don’t think it will impact your magic in any way. (I don’t view altars / magical work spaces as decor - they are more than just decorations.)

In regards to plants, it’s another case of if you want to. All my herbs I get pre-dried in grocery stores and bulk stores, because I can’t grow plants worth squat. I’ve taken fresh herbs from grocery stores, actually, that’s a lie, but they were already grown, and I just hung them in my window to dry them. If you want to try growing your own herbs, feel free, but it isn’t necessary - pre-dried and store bought have worked perfectly for me for the last two years. (I also don’t know anything about growing herbs or gardening, so you’d need to go elsewhere for those answers.)

Working with crystals and sigils are optional - they can prove beneficial, but if you don’t want to do that, you don’t need to. 

Working with *anything* is optional, when you get right down to it - all these things, candles, herbs, crystals, are just amplifiers and focuses for magic. You can perform witchcraft with just your own body, energy, and intent. You just need to know how. (P.S. [energy work] is how.)

Doing your own research will never go amiss, let me tell you that right now. I know it can seem daunting, and you don’t know where to start, but seriously, just a Google search of “witchcraft crystal magic” or “witchcraft sigil magic” can pull up a lot of information and give you more ideas of where to go that you can follow on your own. (I really recommend specifying “witchcraft” when searching on the internet, because you might get a lot of pop culture links that just aren’t relevant, or a variety of other articles that might not be applicable.)

You start being a witch by deciding you want to be a witch. Boom, congratulations, welcome to witchcraft! :D From there, it’s going to be a lot of research. Research will help you determine more about witchcraft in general, and from there you can decide what you want to do with it. Once you have an idea of things you might want to try - working with crystals, herbs, sea magic, etc. - you can do more focused research on those topics. 

Once you have an idea of what you want to do, try it out. Give some things a shot and practice. Write down what you try, so if it doesn’t work or things go wrong, you can look back and think “what if I try this instead?.” and then try it. It really is all about experimentation. You will make mistakes, spell may not work - it is something that has happened to us all, and likely will again. Nothing is perfect and neither is magic. Don’t be daunted, though - you are new to it, it will take some time to get the hang of and build your confidence up. Just stay positive, and remember that mistakes are learning experiences, and help define you more as witch. Never give up. The magic is inside you, you just need to find the right way to work with it.
