Spent the last week or so finding the perfect gradient of sharpies to color the edges of one of my tarot decks in a rainbow. I think it came out pretty damn good if I do say so myself lol

So I don’t use pentacles, I’ve used triple moons as a witchy symbol in the past, but it doesn’t really fit me either. I’m kinda sad that I don’t have a symbol…

Like… I sometimes use inanna’s 8-pointed star, but that’s mostly an aesthetic motif, not a part of my witchcraft…

Do any of you guys have symbols you like as a representation for witchcraft?

Good afternoon ^-^

My answer is that it depends on what system you are using.

"Belief allows spells to work," "belief is the fuel that powers spells," and "doubt will sabotage or drain spells" are not fundamental, universal laws of magic.

I don't even believe that just really having faith automatically makes spells work, either. I believe that if belief itself is used as a sorcerous component, it must be learned to be worked with and treated as an energy or force in its own right.

In the way I work magic, self-doubt isn't an energetic force that influences my spells. It's an irrelevant factor, and I have intentionally developed a practice to do this. I don't want to feel that my spirituality is going to be ruined if I have "impure" thoughts of doubt or anxiety.

Does it greatly affect the success of a spell if you don't exactly believe or if you doubt it will work? And if so, how do you fix this? I thank you greatly for being so kind and informative in all your posts,,, you're a brilliant person and I'm glad you exist in this universe 🤍

Hey, Nonny, thank you kindly for the compliments! That was very sweet of you to say. c:

I'm not exactly sure. 🤔 It's been awhile since I've been able to cast anything, and unfortunately, my notes are packed away atm. I would suggest asking this question to @jasper-pagan-witch , @windvexer , or @stagkingswife (unsure if Stag would know, but I've seen her post about witchcraft before!). Hopefully, one of these lovely people can be of more assistance to you. c:

Take care, Nonny, and my apologies for not having an answer! Have a good day/night. 🧡

SIGIL MAGICIANS OF TUMBLR:

how do you prefer to charge up your sigils?

is it different if they're drawn directly on the body, whether yours or someone else's?

any amount of experience with sigils is enough. if you could share this post to get more eyes on it, that would be super helpful! thank you! 🙏🏽

Today’s Dutch oven adventure: butter chicken!

Kind of.

It ended up spicy, which was a mistake. In fact, several mistakes were made. The next time I make this dish I will significantly modify my process.

However, it is a delicious cream and tomato chicken curry, so I’m overall happy.

It’s hard to judge the cost since I already had almost everything, but with the chicken on sale I estimate the curry was about $10 total (not counting naan).

I haven’t felt challenged by a dish in a while and I’m looking forward to experimenting with more Indian cuisine.

Open Call for Questions for the Pilot Episode!

Thinking about recording a trial/pilot episode in the next week or two, so if you’d like to submit a question to a witchy advice podcast go ahead and send an ask!

[windvexer]

I feel bad that I keep getting asks that I don't have the bandwidth to address right now. I turned off all asks for the next lil while. Apologies to everyone who has sent them in and hasn't gotten a reply. Tumblr is just not it for me lately.

Things I have learned from being in a server with people who play RimWorld :

This game will cause you to construct the most fucked up sentences.

There are several people in the server (myself included, as it turns out) who will just hop into an active channel and start reading without making note of what channel they are in. This has led to many Moments of Horror™️

Hi, sorry if this is a dumb question but im hoping you can help me.

I recently moved and brought my cats with me. At first they were terrified of any room other than my bedroom, then they slowly got used to the rest of the house, normal stuff for a cat that just moved. However, now they seem really uncomfortable and scared with my room? I've made no major changes, just finished packing and placing furniture, but they never come in my room anymore :(. The reason im coming to you is i would like to know if you think this is just an unfortunate coincidence (most likely) or if maybe there are spirits at hand?

I will say i have had incredible luck here, feel safe, and doesn't feel like anything is in my home. So again, sorry if this just simply a non issue but i just wanted your opinion.

It's impossible for me to say whatsoever, but my best guess would be coincidence.

[windvexer]

do you personally think angel numbers mean anything? i started to use them as a reminder to repeat my affirmations, like if i saw 333 i repeated my affirmations 3 times etc and now im wondering if by doing that maybe im adding more power to my affirmations LMAO? i don't think so but 😛

If witchcraft is a part of your spirituality, a part of what makes you feel connected to the world around you, and something that brings you joy to engage in,

and seeing repeating numbers brings you joy and is a reminder to engage in things that are important to you,

of course it means something.

Do I believe that repeating numbers are an energy well of cosmic power? No.

I also do not believe that feathers are an energy well of cosmic power, but witches use found-feather omens all the time to connect to their spirits and receive affirmations and guidance.

I don't care much for Doreen Virtue, but Doreen Virtue doesn't own repeating numbers.

It's perfectly cromulent to develop a personal practice around repeating certain affirmations certain numbers of times when you see certain things in the world around you.

I admire your intelligence. You express your thoughts incredibly clearly and so deeply. With sincere respect to you, your admirer! ❤️

As someone who hasn't been feeling very intelligent lately, thank you for this kind message 💚

Hello. If you work with affirmations, could you tell me how long you can use one statement, for example, "I am very beautiful." Can affirmations "run out of steam" and stop working? Thank you for your reply!

My experience is the following:

Affirmations tend to work best when they are specific and highly resonate on an emotional level. They are used on a repeated basis to deal with specific blockages, weaknesses, or imbalances on an energetic level.

Therefore, when the specific energetic issue is sufficiently resolved, that specific affirmation will cease to be useful (at least for the time being).

But my experience is generally the opposite that affirmations run out of steam - my experience is that repeated use builds up that energetic reverberation and slowly begins to unlock and transform what it is targeting.
