#there is no right way to be a witch

[madladmorty]

You don't need a million fancy tools to do witchcraft

In fact, if you don't want any, you don't have to.

I get little scented candles for my deities rather than fancy pillars. Offerings tend to be stuff I enjoy too. I don't have massive chunks of crystal, I have little biddy wee ones. spell and ritual ingredients consist of stuff I either already have or can get cheap at a local shop. all of these things have spiritual value.

My deities tell me what scents they like in the candles, letting me get to know another little detain about them.

Indulging in accepted offerings, whether it's eating the cookies from Loki's altar or wearing the necklace on Pluto's, is a kind of bonding ritual with the deity.

Small crystals can be taken anywhere with you so their healing properties follow you wherever you happen to be.

Resourcefulness is highly valuable skill in witchcraft. finding the value in everything around you is a truly beautiful thing.

Don't let anyone tell you that you 'aren't doing it right' or 'don't have the right tools', because it's not true. No matter what your practice consists of, if it's right for you then that is what matters the most.

Blessed be.

CS Lewis is one of the very few old male authors who seems to whole heartedly get the minds of young girls. Like, all of his main female characters are distinct and likable, and they never take a backseat to the male leads in terms of story time or relevance (sometimes even overtaking them!) The best part is you can tell it’s because he had a genuine love for the children around him like his goddaughter who he wrote the first Narnia book for. If this man were alive today, I can fully see him in a pink crown and jewelry having a tea party with his goddaughter regardless of how any other man at the function scoffed

Seeing everyone talk about the Mahoyo trailer, which focused heavily on Aoko with like two shots of Alice, is very funny to me because they’re zooming in on smudges that are in all of two frames and being like

THERE HE IS! THERE’S THE BOY! THAT’S WHY HE’S THE GOAT!!!

no one has explored the idea of darius and camila co-parenting hunter enough. like where the hell are the fics about darius calling camila asking if hunter left his derby uniform at her house or camila personally going to drop off hunter at his dad's house and sharing a cup of tea with him while she asks about hunter's grades at hexside and darius asks about hunter's sleeping habits and if she had any human alternatives to sleeping nettles that might help him sleep without the dream-enhancing side effect.

what about camila inviting darius to stay for dinner when he comes to drop off hunter at his mom's house and darius asking for the recipe and then asking the kids what ingredients he could substitute and which ones have to stay the same. or camila specifically adding three more lines to her phone plan-- one for vee, one for hunter, and one for darius so that they can keep in contact more easily. or hunter getting in trouble at school for picking a fight with boscha but when principal bump calls, darius is extremely busy with work so he calls camila and asks her to handle it.

maybe darius gets in an argument with hunter and he cant tell where he went wrong and calls camila and she listens and gives him her advice as someone whose been a parent for fourteen years vs. his own eight months. or camila opens up to darius about her own struggles with losing her husband and he opens up with his own grief over losing his mentor. or they talk on the phone for hours and gossip with each other. maybe darius comes over to hang out with camila and binge watch a new show with her while the kids are at school

I'm once again thinking about the missed opportunities to have Klaus and Kol bond more. Part of Klaus' whole motivation as a vampire is to get his werewolf part back and to finally be stronger than Mikael (sort of, I'm simplifying) both of which can be obtained by breaking his curse. But Kol? Kol is the only other original that can relate to having a fundamental part of themself ripped away from them. Klaus might not have known he was a werewolf until he killed, but he likely still had a connection he couldn't explain, as evident by him going to watch the wolves transform. And something he'd never been able to explain was now gone. He might only be able to realise the connection afterwards through its absence.

Kol though. Kol had grown up with magic, a connection to nature and the world around him in a way the rest of his siblings supposedly didn't have. And then he gets turned. And not only has his baby brother died, his father has just murdered him and the rest of his siblings after forcing them to drink human blood, which he'll later learn. Now, not only does he have to deal with the grief of Henrik's death and also his own but also the loss of his magic. A loss that's likely only worsened by Kol being a self-proclaimed child prodigy.

Kol is pretty much the only one who could understand what Klaus is going through with the binding of his wolf. We know Kol searched for ways to get his magic back/carry on practicing magic in the same way that Klaus was looking for ways to break his curse. While Klaus likely could still feel his wolf there despite being bound, Kol has no access to his magic anymore. I just think they should've been able to bond or connect over their shared loss of an intrinsic aspect of their selves at the hands of their parents

I often wonder about the quote-unquote logistics of Corvo the Black/Emily the Butcher endings. Emily makes more sense to me, in a way, carving her way through the empire only to come back with blood caked under her fingernails and realising that she did everything her father refused to do 15 years ago. but why did Corvo have a similar choice?

what happens to the statues later? does Emily keep her father trapped in stone? does Corvo look at his daughter, frozen in the moment and considers freeing her? is he at his deathbed when he finally reaches out and cups Emily's cheek, freeing her into a carcass of an empire that he gutted for her, in her name, in the name of her mother?

when I first heard of the endings I thought that if you reach very high chaos, you are locked into this choice - Corvo or Emily tries to free the other and the stone just doesn't budge. they are trapped. the quest is over but the world knows that the bloodshed was extreme and this is the punishment they have to face

Imagine an eventual parallel with this scene; Suletta comes crashing down to save Miorine from an attacker (probably piloting Schwarzette, let’s be real) and for a moment, Miorine thinks she’s about to see the exact same thing happen.

But Suletta doesn’t kill them. She takes them down, but she doesn’t murder again. She’s broken herself away from Prospera’s way of doing things, and that’s made clear to Miorine, who abandoned her to be safe from that very thing. 

And this time, when Suletta reaches out her hand to her, Miorine takes it.
