I've been thinking about the tragedy of Elizabeth Woodville living to see the end of her family name.

I don't mean her family with her husband, which lived on through her daughter and grandson. I mean her own.

Her sisters died, one by one, many of them after 1485. When Elizabeth died, only Katherine was left, and she would die before the turn of the century as well.

All her brothers died, too. Lewis died in childhood. John was executed. Anthony was murdered. Lionel died suddenly in the peak of Richard's reign, unable to see his niece become queen. Edward perished at war. Richard died in grieving peace. For all the violence and judgement the family endured, it was "an accident of biology" that ended their line: none of the brothers left heirs, and the Woodville name was extinguished. We know the family was aware of this. We know they mourned it, too:

“Buy a bell to be a tenor at Grafton to the bells now there, for a remembrance of the last of my blood.”

Elizabeth lived through the deposition and death of her young sons, and lived to see the end of her own family name. It must have been such a haunting loss, on both sides.

say, hypothetically, a cat therian had a strong connection with a friend of theirs who happened to be a witch of somekind... would it be possible to become a familiar?

this question has been burning in my mind for literal years. My first thought is that, yeah they can be a familiar because if they're a cat with an inclination to magic... isn't that just what a familiar is? Or is there an actual magical limitation put in by having a human body? Would a witch want an alterhuman familiar?

you don't have to manifest if you don't want to. you don't have to visualise if you don't want to. you don't have to do the majority of the magical work if you don't want to.

if you want results from your magic but would prefer to have some extra help, just ask your tools and ingredients to help you achieve whatever goal you've set for them. tell them how you feel, confess your biggest hopes and deepest fears for your spell, ask them to help you with what you need and why you need it to work.

this is vital to forming a relationship with what you work with. you have to trust them.

i diagnose you with hot

mj is pink panther hot !

you're a modern QUEEN. you sit to the side of the dance floor and drink out of martini glasses, a perfect vantage point to look over your court. you like to see the way people's eyes LINGER on you, hoping you'll see them, that they'll gain your APPROVAL. you are offered drinks by many overeager servants throughout the night. when you finally join the ball, the sea of people parts just for you, and you hear the nervous titters of the crowd who are so CAPTIVATED by what you'll do next.

Out of curiosity, what kind of rituals do you do when it comes to reading your tarot cards? Cleansing, how you read/interpret them? Do you document your readings? I've been reading tarot for a little while but it's always just a fun little side thing where I shuffle cards, pull them, and use the book the deck came with to interpret them as best as possible. I do occasionally cleanse them, too, but I'm curious about your rituals?

Okay so one thing about me is that I suck at regularly cleansing my tools with like, other things. I know I should probably smoke cleanse them with some incense or moonlight or whatever, but I also have 15 decks total and man that's a lot of work and I also do not have the windowsill space for it. I also have... cats that like to jump up into said windowsills and will 100% knock them down.

Usually I just cleanse as I use them. My method is just putting them back in order and then doing a big shuffle. I do this weird way of shuffling that I made up because my hands are too small to shuffle normally. I'll include a video... gif... or something below but basically I like, hold them in one hand, loosely bring up cards with two fingers on my other, and keep doing that, switching between putting them right side and reversed into pile until I'm left with one card. I put it to the side. Then I pick up the big pile again and repeat. I only do this when getting them shuffled around when they're in order. It's time intensive but it puts that intention of "okay, be shuffled and ready for use" into it.

Heres a really bad video of me doing this:

I mostly just document my monthly readings because I've been lacking on keeping up my tarot practice, but if it's a big spread that I do, I'll usually at least write it on a piece of loose paper with the cards I drew, what the cards mean, and then a little like, summary of me piecing it all together.

With interpretations and meanings I do a few different things. I have a doc with like, a big mish-mash of all the meanings and such that I've read in books, online, etc. It's mostly just keywords though, but it's good if the deck I'm using didn't have a guidebook or if I think said guidebook sucks (I have one that has a sheet of paper that I absolutely hate the interpretations of). Usually though, I start by reading the guidebook that comes with the deck I'm using and that's the meaning I usually go with, though sometimes I don't feel the meanings really fit. Then I look at my big list of keywords and see if any of those really stand out to me for the card in the position in the spread. And if that doesn't work, or if my intuition is really screaming at me, I'll just look at the card, look at the imagery, take into account the suit, number, etc, and then see what words pop up then. Maybe it's a color that stands out and I'll think of words that work with that color, or its the mood on the figures face, etc.

Here, lemme do an example. This is the official D&D Tarot Deck licensed by WOTC (I bought it before I knew all the drama)

It's a shitty picture but this is this decks version of the 4 of Swords. The card is usually associated with rest and recouperation and I think this deck really shows this well in the D&D setting. They look like a group of travellers who are taking a short rest, which is perfect imagery for the card. I'd look at this and think "Okay for this part of the spread, imagine taking a short rest from it. Let a couple of those spell slots come back." Or if it's in a placement of things to avoid, it could mean be weary of resting for too long and getting too stagnant.

I wouldn't normally do this but hey -- you never know.

Today I got a bunch of shit stolen from me, because I carelessly left a bag outside a door for about three minutes.

a good chunk of that stuff was a huge haul of second hand witchy, theological and pagan books. books I spent most of my birthday money on. that and a card and some gifts I got from a dear friend.(and some squid rings and pasta lol)

I am not so sad about the fact I lost the stuff, as much as I feel terrible to have wasted all the money and gifts I got for my birthday.

I know there are bigger things in the world happening, but if you want to say a quick prayer or spell to help get my books back to me, that'd be really nice of you.

Azzy and Philip backstory lore when?

i'm working on the deets on how they met BUT the main premise is

Azzy is a human peasant girl who runs from town to town, stealing money when her gracious host is asleep because she trusts no one. eventually an angry mob leads her to run into Gravesfield and hides in one of the stables for shelter, prompting her to meet Philip while he's tending to the horses in the morning. its easier to befriend him because he's an outcast, and i think Philip would appreciate company when Caleb's busy with work so they get along pretty well. they exchange drawings together and azzy would bring in rare flowers to be pressed in his journal, finding comfort in nature more than the townsfolk themselves.

she works as a scullery maid to support herself and fit in with the town and absolutely HATES it and wants to steal like she used to, but she's gotten attached to him as he's the first person who she could connect with. tried robbing him at the start though, but he's just as poor as she is so she doesn't.

eventually rumors from the other towns start to catch up. people are start to accuse her of being a witch that lurks from town to town spreading curses onto the villages. Azzy is obviously horrified, and to protect herself she runs away one night without defending herself. maybe she asks Philip to run away with her and he refuses because it would mean leaving Caleb behind, and he can't do that to him. and so she was never seen again.

How would y'all feel about mini-game-esque elements in the story?

For example having a pool of ingredients, choosing three, and in the end, the potion that comes from it is different depending on the ingredients?

(I'd have to bring the big brain creative guns for that but I feel like it would add a bit of witchery and domestic feelings in between the grim mystery plot points)

hi!! I wanted to ask about your work with dragons! if you're comfortable, could you sort of explain how you view them in context of your spirituality/how you work with them? like are they similar to historic dragons of folklore or are they something else? seeing dragons as spiritual beings is an entirely new thing to me (I'm a pagan, but I don't consider myself a witch) and I'd really love to hear more about it!!! :3

This is a cool question, ty anon! Apologies, this is a pretty long and rambly; I really like talking about dragons, hence the whole entire blog for it :D Feel free to send in another ask if something here isn't clear or I misinterpreted your questions^^

My belief in dragons, if I'm honest, is very UPG/personal experience. Something that, in my experience, anyone who's worked with dragons extensively* will probably tell you "Yeah it's a lot of just working with whatever you learn on your own, no one's beliefs will look the same. It's not something you can really research online or in books much." *I am not nor do I claim to be one of these people. I still feel new to dragon work, although I will acknowledge that if we're counting any time spent with them as "work" I've been doing that for years lol.

All that out of the way; I view them primarily as astral entities. Divinity in a sense, I suppose, although I feel- and I think they feel- like it's laughable to call them "above me." But that's more about my experience of divinity as an ally rather than an authority figure- I don't view any deity as above me, just bigger and different. (Sort of like a human to a small animal of sorts. We're not above them in my opinion, we're not better, but our experience of the world is fundamentally different and we can see things/understand things that they can't.)

WHOOPS philosophy aside; I view them as astral/nonphysical entities, and while the historical mythology is a huge part of my reason for believing in them* it only has so much sway in my practice. I have ADHD that makes research difficult, so most of it is just... what I've felt, seen, and done. I do believe the dragons I work with are the reason for historical mythology, but since they're idividuals, it wouldn't be all that much help anyway. Looking at the whole of America wouldn't tell you shit about me, as a weird comparison. *seeing as just about every culture has a "dragon" of sorts but we can't trace their origin point because they all came up with it independently.

Right now my work with them looks pretty similar to my deity work. I don't do spells or any such thing often, so it's mostly just chatting and enjoying each others presence. I ask for help when I need it, or for insight, but to be honest mostly right now my work with dragons looks like my familiar popping in like "Hey, you should value ur inner child and playfulness should have a place in your spirituality" and popping back out. Mostly I think they're leaving me to settle into my identity as a dragonkin (just in case you're from my main: my soul is that of a dragon/I have past lives as a dragon, it's a whole Thing) before forming a relationship with me. Something about figuring out what being a dragon means to me and what that looks like before seeing what it means to them so I don't assume that my identity has to look like theirs.

It's fucking WILD to me that I can just scrape off a square of my painted wall, take it to the hardware store, and get a little tub of identical paint. Not kinda similar, but exactly the same color, and I can smear that on the wall and it blends in completely. Fucking magic.

Anyway I'm a first time renter who fucked up a spot on the wall but it's completely vanished now and I'm so fucking thankful for Menards cause they just helped save my deposit
