things to have on a NON wiccan altar 🌸✨🌊🕯🍇🌿

i personally find a lot of info floating around about WICCAN altars. as i know many of you aren’t wiccan, i myself am not either, i thought i’d compile a list of possible things to put on a witches altar! i hope you enjoy my lovelies 💘

✨ signs of the sabbats, if you celebrate! this is my absolute favorite way to incorporate decor into my altar. here’s a lil list of some ideas to inspire you lovelies

yule - mistletoe, pine needles, symbols for the sun, pine cones, red + green + white + yellow candles.

imbolc - flowers, a brigids cross, yellow + green candles to represent the sun and return of spring.

ostara - fake eggs, flowers, representations of wildlife as they return after hibernation, potted plants, various seeds you plan on planting, pastel colored candles.

beltane - lots of greens, succulents, plants, acorns, seeds, pastel flowers + ribbons, yellow + pink + baby blue candles.

litha - flowers, fruits n veggies, items that represent the sun, yellow + gold + orange candles.

lughnasadh- harvested flowers and herbs from your garden(s), leaves, fruits, vegetables and gourds, candles ranging from green to yellow + orange + brown.

mabon - gourds + pumpkins, apple/apple seeds, signs of the harvest, leaves, pine cones, red + orange + yellow + brown candles.

samhain - pictures of your ancestors, tools for divination, gourds + pumpkins, black + white + orange candles.

✨ candles!! these are honestly my favorite things to have around. i personally celebrate the sabbats and use various colored candles to represent the changing seasons or to have an overall theme of my altar! here’s my personal list of color correspondents you could use.

✨ incense! i LOVE swapping out scents for the seasons to really put me in the mood.

✨ an offering bowl! for those of you who connect deities to your practice, offer to the fae, etc i love to have one placed on my altar!

✨ various methods of divination! i personally prefer to keep everything i use on my altar to let it be surrounded by positive energy at all times.

✨ your book of shadows/grimoire if you have one! going along with why i keep my divination tools at my altar, i prefer to keep my bos there as well.

✨ CRYSTALS!! i adore crystals and swap them out as i need + want to feel specific energies. here’s a list of crystal correspondences so you can personalize your altar + space!

✨ a pentacle! as a witch i view them as a sign of protection and like to have one on my altar at all times. you could draw one up or even make one yourself! i created my own from sticks i found in my backyard.

✨ represent a part of nature you feel connected with! show that on your altar!! seashells and such from your local beach if you feel connected to the ocean, various representations of the elements if you feel connected to them, etc. this is a lovely way to create an overall theme for it if that’s something you’d like to do!

✨ forms of cleansing! a bowl of salt, a sage stick, palo santo, etc.

✨ items you use for spell work! i have a jar of snow water and full moon water i collected that i leave on my altar as i use it, and continue to filter out as i collect new things!

✨ a cauldron! whether you create ingestible spells or burn herbs, it’s a lovely tool to have on hand and at your altar if you’d personally like to work with one!

✨ various pieces of art, personal drawings, garland etc to hang around the space of your altar! i have a lot of wall space surrounding it and loveee to use floral garland, paintings of flowers n herbs, decor that reminds me of my craft, etc to create a sacred space for myself.

i hope you enjoy and found this helpful my lovelies!! i would LOVE to see and hear about your personal altar space so please always feel free to send me an ask or message! 💘

(I didn’t create this image)

Log off protest bitches!!!

It’s doubtful this will actually do anything or get the staff to change their mind but I still think it’s worth it to show what you think. I’m definitely going to be doing it.

Please either share this or post the image yourself. I think that we should get as many people as possible involved.

We are getting close to 400,000! We need more people to show they are against what Tumblr is doing. What they are doing is censoring people and believing what they are doing is right. Its the same shit the FCC did claiming that taking down net neutrality was good for everyone that we idiots don’t know shit. Don’t let Tumblr get away with what they are doing and let’s keep it going. Post this everywhere. Twitter, Facebook, Discord, Snapchat, YouTube, or wherever you guys want, but let’s keep the fight going!!!

Psychic Exercises✨

things to do to increase psychic abilities. these are what i personally do as a claircognizant empath to enhance my knowledge of the world around me 🌻🌎💫

pull a daily tarot card, rune, or other divination device

sit down and paint something impressionistic. “but Mason!” you say, “I’m not an artist!!” well, bullshit. you don’t needa be artistic for this one, kiddos. i just use an index card and a small brush, then pick whatever colors im feeling that day. is it swirly? edgy? scattered? dark? light? interpret this, then reflect later to see if it was correct

think of a person you’re gonna see in the upcoming day. what outfit are they wearing? is their hair different? is there something in their teeth? write these things down, then see later if they are correct

meditate. yes yes i know, the dreaded tip. if you have adhd like me, or you just can’t sit still, do it while stretching, walking, cleaning, showering, or doing any monotonous work. even if it’s only for 3 minutes. just focus on what you hear, see, smell, feel, etc. it helps, trust me

keep a dream journal (yea i know, another dreaded tip)

write down every little thing that could maybe possibly be considered psychic. get a call from someone you were just thinking about? guessed what song would be next on shuffle? write it down

speaking of song guessing on shuffle, do it!! it’s simple and fun, even if you don’t get it right every time

spend more time with your divination tools, even if you aren’t actively using them. put them near your pillow (okay no lie this tip reeeeaaaallyyy helps), take them to work, put them next to your bath, whatever works for you

raise your vibration. and i know this can mean a lot of things for different people, and it also sounds rly hippy, but listen. what i mean is, constantly check yourself- your surroundings, your random thoughts, your emotions, etc. set an alarm to remind you to be more aware, if you gotta. if you are aware of what’s going on externally and within, you will be more prone to noticing your psychic tendencies

make your own sigils. this is one of the easiest form of magick, and can be done by anyone. make sigils for everything- “i am psychic,” “i am confident,” “i am suspected of secretly being Godzilla,” honestly everything. the point isn’t to make sigils that necessarily work, it’s just to sit down and put an intention into physical form. this is kinda like the painting one, except instead of thinking abt what could happen, you’re stating what will/is happening, which is important.

place a piece of amethyst on your forehead for a few seconds every night while laying in bed. doesn’t have to be too long, just long enough to let your muscles relax and let out all the tension from the day

and thats it! feel free to add more if you can think of something i didn’t put

Hello, I'm wondering if you support or even do the black magic stuff (Sihr) that's pretty common in Morocco? ^^

Hi there! Personally I don’t practice black magic or Sihr, because in my religion I don’t do things that cause harm physically and through words, so why would I do it with magic? That said, I think it’s all about one’s own personal philosophies and belief systems. If you think it’s okay to cause harm to another or in certain situations, that’s your own personal belief and I support everyone to have their own genuine beliefs.

Truth be told, people bitch about witchblr as a scourge, but it’s not the birth place of the problem.  Y’all remember the ‘witchy’ side of youtube years past? Talk about taking Wicca, watering it down with wooly ideas on magic, and then shitting on its own forefather. Don’t even ask them about history. What about the plastic shamans? Taking beliefs and misinterpreting them was all the rage then, especially topics coming from the Ojibwe and Lakota (though few would actually be able to specify those tribes as the source of the beliefs/topics).  This horrible game of telephone spirituality has been happening since the inception and spread of the New Age movement. It literally was based in the taking and misunderstanding of Eastern spiritual beliefs colliding with watered down Western Occultism.  Witchblr, or at least the most insufferable parts, is only a product of this kind of thinking finally reaching the general public, which cares nothing for research nor critical thinking, but for quick consumption. The massive misinformation and lack of care for veracity doesn’t end there. It’s outside.  And like every fad, it will pass.

Crystals and Stones for the Ancestors

In the spirit of Samhain which comes ever so close, here is a list of stones you can use to help you connect, channel, and feel your ancestors and loved ones on the otherside.

1. Amber

Amber is neither a stone nor a mineral. It is a resin that oozed from prehistoric forests millions of years ago. Sometimes, encased inside are insects and even small animals, preserved through the ages as they were when they were alive. Because of this, amber is a stone of immortality, of life after death, thus it was often placed inside graves of the deceased to symbolize their eternal life. Use this old, old, resin to connect with ancestors down the ancestral line. Bonus is there is a little critter in yours!

2. Petrified Wood

Fallen trees take a hundred years to petrify. Add that to how old the tree could have been when it fell and you have a good hefty amount of time. In sort, these stone are ancient. Trees already symbolize wisdom, knowledge, and family so using petrified wood to connect to your family tree and reach your roots is perfect. I can’t think of a better stone!

3. Bloodstone

Bloodstone’s link to blood can be traced back to as far as five thousand years ago in ancient Mesopotamia. It has long since been used to help circulation and ailments of the blood. When connecting with our ancestors, our bloodline is an important link to them. The DNA in our blood contains little genetic bits and pieces from those who have come before us. Nothing can be created or destroyed in nature. The DNA in our blood is not new, it has existed since the beginning of time and was passed down to us. Use bloodstone to tap into this, to connect, to travel through the bloodline into your ancestry as far as you would like to go. 

4. Any Quartz with an Upside Down Record Keeper

These little triangles hold information. They hold records of what was and what is. They record the history of earth since the beginning of time. They hold the history of earth creatures, the secrets of our evolution. They are links into the akashic records. Use them to access your heritage, your ancestors and your lost loved ones.

5. Garnet

I chose garnet for a similar reason as I chose the bloodstone. Garnet also has a strong association with blood and it’s also associated with fire and sexuality which gives me strong life vibes. I see using this crystal as a guide to take someone living through their blood into their ancestry.

Bonus

1. Any Stone Shaped into a Skull

Skull shapes are perfect for channeling and connect with ancestors and lost loved one. The shape resembles a human who has gone to the other side. If you have a bloodstone skull, all the better!

2. Anything of Sentimental Value of course!

If you have a necklace or a wallet or something that someone had, it works all the better to connect with that person specifically and to call them to you from the other side.

Another Bonus–Music!

Music is always something that helps me connect. Here are a few songs you can use to help you if you’d like. These are my go to for connecting with ancestors and loved ones. Celtic Music - Walking with the Ancestors https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aa25ZdYCNLA Calling the Others - Anilah https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mUNSD063yxw Wardruna - Helvegen (the way to Hel) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DD65K4VR6Lw Oldest Welsh Lullaby: Dinogad’s Smack https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZBl7ZFI-QP8 *Because this is so old, dating to the 7th century, it always brings me to a place to think about my ancestors even though my ancestors are not Welsh.

Maya reading my cards…

I was going to try out my new mobile reading space (read: old tea-trolley) and Maya decided she was going to have a go first!

Her hands were too small to shuffle, so that part was for me. After that, she handled the cards like a pro!

She pulled The Fool, The Wheel of Fortune and The King of Cups.

Her interpretation: If you take a chance you might get lucky, Mummy, and find us a nice new Daddy! (Aww bless her - she’s 4 by the way) - Then she looked at the bottom card: 10 of Wands.

She says: “But you are working too hard Mummy, you need to put down those sticks and have some play-time!” - how right is she?!?! 💖💖💖

Short, sharp and simple!
