the pantheon of modern witchcraft in music:

Stevie Nicks: The grand high witch, the regent of the coven. She oversees all and always will. Immortal and full of all-knowing wisdom, initially peaceful but also can (and will) kick your ass.

Florence + The Machine: Channels nature energy but isn’t afraid to dabble in the dark. Often found wandering through misty forests and open fields of goldenrod, singing lost tales of tortured spirits. Talks with Demeter from time to time.

Hozier: May be possessed by the spring goddess side of Persephone. Spends most of his time in the mossy bogs in the realm of the fae. Sometimes reappears in the human world for brief periods of time, spreading fae wisdom to the humble masses before leaving again.

Zella Day: Modern witch caught between rural and urban magic. Cavorts in the dry, desert planes of the Southwest. Frequently surrounded by crystals and succulent plants. Wears a lot of maxi dresses, wide hats, and combat boots.

AURORA: Actual dryad tree spirit. Lives deep in the woods whispering ageless melodies into waterfalls. Lives at one with nature and is friends with the deer and the wolves. Thrives off of empathy and kindness. Has plans to build a paradise haven for the exiled and rejected peoples of the world.

Zolita: Love witch, harnesses passion and desire for the forces of good. Full of sapphic energy and communicates with Aphrodite. Leader of a badass coven of LGBTQ+ witches and a slowly brewing feminist rebellion.

Elsa & Emilie: The spirits of Victorian witches reincarnated into younger forms. Literally mature beyond their years. Sing haunting harmonies of their lives and loves wrongfully lost. Reach their ultimate power when working together. Aren’t afraid to venture into the dark.

Lorde: Urban witch with untapped chaotic energy. Also mature beyond her years. Is still restless but now channels strong emotions. Uses synesthesia to literally see the spells. Kicks back with Athena from time to time.

Lana Del Rey: Fluctuates between light and dark witchcraft. Uses love magic but will also curse you. Talks to both Harmonia and Eris, also the devil. Keeps a grimoire passed down for generations in her purse.

Lola Blanc: Witch that managed to travel from an alternate jazz age steampunk timeline. Utilizes technological innovation in form mixed with traditional technique. May or may not have performed necromancy and hypnotism.

Banks: Perhaps the most chaotic dark witch of them all. Probably possessed by the queen of the dead side of Persephone, or maybe Hecate. Channels powerful energy from storms, lust, and conflict. Has a soft side she rarely lets anyone see.

That ended up a hella long. Did I miss anyone?

Entry #02

Today I took out my tarot deck (after having it in a wood-box for years). The card I lost was the Five of Cups so I printed it - I don’t have the money to buy a new deck so had to work within my means. I read a post here in witchblr that said that a good way to start witchcraft is with what you have, and I definitely have a printer - no color ink tho, so my card is in black and white 🤷

Gonna buy some incense to cleanse it - I’m thinking about cedar, juniper, bay or and white sage (my mom hates incense cause she has the nose of a dog, so probs drama will ensue - I’m gonna do it in my room and ask her not to interrupt me for half an hour tho). Then I’mma meditate with it to get in tune.

I’m gonna do my first tarot read with a spread about the deck itself - get to know it well.

Then I’m gonna bless it and rearrange it to leave it on the wood box (that will be his permanent home) with some crystals and herbs overnight to further the blessing.

I’m gonna do this tomorrow, after I buy my incense. I was gonna do it today but I had to go to work - UGH.

Feel free to use this tarot spread✨

new witch on the block!

i’ve always wanted to try witchcraft for myself - i never did for one reason or another, but i’ve decided 2019 is the year!

i’ve always been labeled as a witch - as long as i can remember people have called me one - i gotta admit, i don’t know why.

i guess it was because of my interest in fantasy creatures: dragons, elves, dwarfs and faeries (specially the latter). i never studied them per se but i was definitely fascinated with them. everything revolved around it, my books, my wallpapers, my clothes, my toys... e·very·thing

when i was 12 someone at my school spread the rumor that i was a witch, like a scary, dark and vengeful one. i decided to have a little fun with it and bought a tarot deck, i learned to read it and i did so at school for the two years that followed as a business. that’s when i first got tempted to try witchcraft however most of what i had in hand was about wicca and i’m not a religion person - i’m just not.

when i moved i lost one card and stopped. i never read the tarot again. but that temptation was still brewing inside of me. witchcraft was calling me. and every year i was like this is it, this is the year i start my witchcraft journey and then i didn’t do a thing.

i’m really excited to finally try this. i’ve read a lot since october about this and i think i’m inclining towards cottage witch practices, i may end up with a more eclectic thing since i’m very eclectic in my life in general but i’m starting there. 

my first step forward is to start up my grimoire. for this i’m gonna buy a bullet journal and some stills, i want my grimoire to be as personal and pretty and handmade as i can make it.
