Necromancer: Did you know that dinosaur skeletons in museums are usually fake casts?

Someone: Did the Internet tell you that?

Necromancer: Nope, just a series of disappointing museum trips.

Witchy Tip ✨

If you pour a little essential oil over a cotton ball and burn it, the result is a lovely smelling fire and smoke! The cotton ball takes about a full minute to burn in a little fireball formation and produces an incense-like smoke when it goes out (it’s pretty interesting, actually) and doesn’t really flare up much, so it’s perfect for cauldron use.

Sometimes you just feel guilty for things that aren’t your fault

[tidalenchanter]

A Midnight Ritual if You Cannot Sleep Because You Are Worrying About a Confrontation or Crisis in the Morning

You will need:

A dark-blue candle

A small bowl of salt

Paper and a pen

A bowl of soil

A small, lidded plastic container

A blue pen

Timing:

Midnight, called the time of the dark sun, indoors or in the garden.

The spell:

Light the candle and, looking into the flame, say: “The dark sun across the word does shine, but let all be peaceful in this place of mine.”

Sprinkle a few grains of salty into the flame, saying: “The sun will rise again at dawn, ‘til then I consign all fear ‘till morn.”

On the paper, write over and over again the fears and the worries that are troubling you. Tear off just a corner and singe it in the candle flame. (Have a bowl of soil ready in case it catches fire.)

Extinguish the candle, and put the folded paper and the singed corner, burned or not, into a small plastic container in the freezer.

Dispose of the plastic container and its contents the next morning.

Tips for baby witches

When you are just starting to learn and get into witchcraft it can be hard so here are a few tips :)

• never do anything you don’t want to do or you are uncomfortable with it is your craft and no one else’s

• don’t feel like you need to practice hard core spells and magick

• do research and never try any spells or magick you haven’t looked into properly before preforming

• use what you have! You don’t need every single witchcraft supply ever, alter things to suit your needs

• don’t feel like you need to know everything, witchcraft is something that takes time to develop

• if you feel you are ready to do something or take on an intense spell do it, even though others may not agree you are ready, if you feel it then who’s to stop you

• don’t be afraid to ask questions! The witch community is very open minded and friendly we are always here to answer questions and welcome new members

* Happy enchanting 🖤🌙✨
