Just started reading an edited book on early modern witch trials and masculinities. I'm thinking of doing my masters in religious studies, focusing on masculinities and witchcraft and how modern day occult circles have been influenced by historical narratives on gendered witchcraft accusations.

First time I've ever met another demonolator in real life and of course it was at a goth festival. In retrospect makes sense

So I recently got a pretty bad burn on my left palm and I am only just now able to take off the bandage and dressings. I'm not usually one who goes much for palmistry, but I'm taking this situation as an opportunity to explore what it might mean, beyond the physical.
The thing I find interesting is the way the burn has almost completely eliminated my life line. Perhaps this is an indication that I've hit a change point in my life, changing the trajectory which was expected of me. I can still see a little of the lower part of the line, but it is almost completely broken by scar tissue.
I already had a mole on my left hand, but this also feels like partly a representation of my journey down the left hand path.

Witch tip: Be sure to distinguish which correspondences are social constructs (for example, associating roses with romance), and which are informed by nature (for example, associating the color red with life, because blood).
This isn't to say that social construct correspondences are bad or lesser - they aren't! But distinguishing between the two helps you develop a better sense of what you can play around with, and how.

I've been sick (mentally and physically) a LOT these past 2 months, and during that time I've fine tuned my tea recipes. Herbal teas are a great help when you're not feeling your best, and each ingredient has its own purpose. I dried most of these herbs a while ago, from the garden i had at the time, but store bought or fresh will work just as well. Disclaimer that these are to be taken in addition to medicines, not as a replacement!
For coughs and colds:
-Lavender, mint and ginger come together to make a combination of gentle anaesthetic and decongestant. Combine with honey to taste.
For sleep and healing:
- Chamomile, Lavender and a little rosemary make an excellent calming tea for the evenings, to help you rest easier while you're sick.
For energy and immune boost:
- Lemon, Ginger and orange (and turmeric if you have it) help to make you feel energised and give you some extra vitamins. My mum would always give me lemon, honey and ginger when I was sick as a kid so it has fond memories for me.

Ever since I started working with Amon/Aamon, divination has become harder for me. Its like there's something I'm missing, not quite grasping, or he's trying to teach me a lesson? Trying understand the cosmic truths that may be beyond my comprehension thanks to a human brain. That sounds overly dramatic, but I just feel like I'm missing something. Maybe that's what he's trying to tell me, that I'm missing something.

Today has been hectic, I have had a course of the worst everyday luck it's possible to have in a while. Got home and renewed my protections which to be fair it had been a while. I'm not a paranoid person, when bad things happen I generally assume it is not down to fate or spiritual causes. But the amount of things that went wrong today forced me to consider the possibility that there may be some malignant forces surrounding me. That is not to say I think I've been cursed, but something more like lingering ill will. A reminder to keep my affairs in order when it comes to witchcraft, certainly.
To that end, I thought I'd share some super simple tips and tricks for spiritual protection. Save this post, if you'd like, I find it may come in handy when you least expect it.
1. Oil and water spell
This is good for drawing out negative energies. I personally use salt water paired with oils I've infused myself, but you can just as easily use cooking or olive oil, even animal fats after cooking. It doesn't have to be pretty, it just has to work.
The process is simple:
Pour water and salt into a jar and concentrate on it for as long as necessary. Then pour on equal parts oil, or at least enough to cover the surface of the water.
Place the lid firmly on and shake. Shake as much as you need to for as long as you need to. Once you're done, say a few words and as the oil and water separate, so too will you be separated from negative energies.
2. Simple knot protection spell
Simply tie seven knots into a length of red or black thread, yarn or leather string, focusing on building up protection as you go.
3. "Fuck off" with chilli powder
Going with the simple theme, for this one all you need is some salt, chilli powder, and cloves as well if you want. All banishing tools.
Open a window in your home, I do this in each room in my flat, and pour into your hand: Salt, Chilli powder and ground Cloves. Then, blow them away from you and out the window, focusing on pushing negative energies away.
Careful of the wind for this one or it could get messy and get chilli in your eye, and if you're using salt make sure you don't blow it over any plants as this will most likely kill them. You don't have to use much to get the effect, but still be cautious if there are any pets or animals around.
I make a little bottle of this combination of spices to have ready for when I need it, it can also be great as a bed for a black candle to give an extra protection kick.

Currently working on my own little oracle deck. So far I have done 7 cards, each one of the seven deadly 'sins'/ the 7 Kings of hell
Not sure what the rest of the cards are going to be yet, but I'll be sticking with a demonic theme

Something that I think crosses the line into art magic is something I do out of habit, horror art. As I've mentioned before, I have depression and gender dysphoria. Horror art, for me, is a form of art therapy as much as it is art magic. A form of protection, a way to 'get it out' of my system in a way that's less harmful than some of my other coping mechanisms. I can express the worst of the deepest recesses of my mind when words fail me. Charcoal, in particular, is good for the almost automatic drawing process. Whatever comes into my mind, I draw.

I give these feelings a face, and then I put them aside and do the next one, and the next. Until I can't anymore. Perhaps calling it magic is innacurate. But it certainly has a certain effect similar to energy work, channeling those feelings into a vessel then sealing it off with fixative.
