Rant on fire safety

While absolutely gorgeous, I HATE this trend of "aesthetic candles". This is from a local witch shop, that sells these candles. Look at it! It's an absolute fire hazard. A plastic flower molten into the wax. You should not have plastic anywhere near a candle flame. Look at the glitter. Guess what? ALSO PLASTIC.

At best it's gonna smell horrendous, because molten plastic stinks. But burn enough of these candles and you're likely to give yourself cancer. Yes, you read that right. Do no inhale fumes of molten plastic!

Stop making candles with materials that shouldn't be burnt! ffs

Just want to quickly remind newcomers to the tumblr witch community - This Isn't Tiktok.

Notes aren't a definition of success here. We don't have an algorithm that bumps things to the top of the dash based on popularity. And yes, it's ALWAYS the memes and shitposts and fandom stuff that gets the attention, compared to that long post about the current moon phase you spent an hour writing. (Trust me, I know.)

You're curating your own experience here. Liking posts is fine, but it's commenting and reblogging that kickstart meaningful interactions and help the posts you enjoy reach other users. Tagging posts is fine, but it's not a guarantee that your post will do numbers and tagspamming will get you blocked.

Yes, tumblr is by and large a fandom space, but that doesn't mean that's all there is. And unfortunately, expecting it to work like other social media platforms is only going to lead to disappointment.

If you want to interact with the community and start discussions, REACH OUT TO OTHER WITCHES. You can post in the tags all day and night, but if you don't make a direct effort to engage with other users by commenting, reblogging with commentary, or asking/answering questions, it's not likely to get you anywhere meaningful.

Consider this an invitation to browse my posts, check out my tags, and get in my inbox - and do the same for other witchy creators whose content you vibe with.

I'm glad you're here. Let's talk about witchy stuff. 😊

Goal: $36.68 / $2,000.00 USD

Detailed Explanation of the Fundraiser: I've decided to give away readings and religious posts for my dog's veterinary treatment. He has an acute glaucoma as well as a Grade 3 or 4 heart murmur, putting him at risk for heart failure. All of this was discovered in an one hour vet appointment that cost $312 USD. The treatment we have planned ahead will be well over $1,500 USD. Being a full time college student, this is a pretty grave expense. If you're able, please donate or reblog my post. There's no pressure to donate, but I do appreciate it if you can!

If you'd like to donate without receiving, that's also ok! Please make it clear that you wouldn't like anything in return if that's the case.

***Below are the usernames you can send money; they have the strange censorship because otherwise, my post would be shadow-banned.***

I know a great thing about paganism and keeping ancient religions alive is how individual it can be as we all follow our own path but man, sometimes I really wish we still had temples for our Gods.

so I don’t normally post stuff like this here because it’s not related but I saw this and kind of need to get my feelings out about it

I literally burst into tears by the end of this video because I guess my entire life I’ve been operating on the assumption- no, not even the assumption, because it’s something I’ve never questioned or second guessed or even examined- that this was how humans… work? like. “if I don’t offer value as soon as I enter the space, why would I occupy the space? if I’m not performing usefulness or demonstrating value, why the fuck would anyone want me around?” with NO regard to the fact that I’ve never expected value to be demonstrated by the people I like to be around or care to have in my life. I have never even thought to compare the two experiences, because I’ve just been walking around like this is the way the world works- presentable, tangible value is demanded of me and if I do not provide it, I will be (shamed) (excommunicated) (physically harmed) (humiliated) (rejected rejected rejected)- it does not matter if that’s something I’ve never asked of anyone else, because this is the way the world functions around me, and the way I function in the world.

the idea that … that’s not true, and isn’t how everyone feels…. it’s really screwing with my perception and making me realize my self esteem is WAY, WAY lower than I thought. I thought my self esteem was high… but I think really, my confidence in my ability to demonstrate value is high. it’s dawning on me that it’s genuinely sad that I feel I have to do this, when before this very moment it’s something I accepted as infallible fact

feeling so many feelings about all of this

beep beep! looking for your favorite CONFIDENCE spells and your favorite GLAMOURS.

I’m doing my own research obviously but I thought I’d ask around and see if anyone has tried-and-true recommendations

test I need the confidence spell for is tomorrow? maybe? and the sort-of-date I’m hoping to have a glamour for is Sunday! so preferably nothing moon-phase based or dependent on day of the week !

thank you!

[wolfhowlwitch]

I have summoned not one but TWO reasons to spell!!

confidence/security spell combo for the husband’s upcoming test at work AND we have kind of?? a second date thing?? coming up this weekend that I’m gonna sort out some glamour spells for. but tonight, just the normal kitchen witching with my prosperity chili mac.

haven’t done a spell in SO LONG but all the spells I wanna do rn are spells I should :/ not :/ do :/

I’m currently enjoying the fruit that the trees of my previous spells are bearing which is great! but I’m deeply craving a reason to practice magic and I just can’t settle on one that’s reasonable

[wolfhowlwitch]

praise be lord dionysus androgynos, god of homosexuality and effeminacy, may he protect his queer children and adults alike! I am forever grateful, raise a glass to him and his wonder!

It can be really hard to learn to engage in positive self talk, but sometimes it's easier to start by pretending it's coming from a friend, first 💜

rb to relieve the back pain of the person u reblogged this from

[wolfhowlwitch]

explain your gender in 10 words or less without using boring words like “male”, “female”, “nonbinary”, “masculine”, “feminine” or “androgynous”.

go!

Disability will have you thinking shit like “I’m not even that disabled. I can manage as long as I limit myself to very specific careers, never go shopping for more than an hour or two at a time, keep my plans open so I can cancel and stay in if need be, and only go out a few nights per week at the most”

for Hermes

on winged feet, in distant lands

you hold a message in your hands

whispered quiet, hushed and true

you reassure, you help them stand

in perfect laughter, peals of song

mind as clever as days are long

endless answers in eyes of blue

you’ve known the question all along

thief and bandit, He who provides

if once he’s spoken, twice he’s lied

rich in wisdom and point of view

He who rises on springtide

god of many, foe of few

come-and-goer, passer through

millennia and you withstand

oh Hermes, gaily do I worship you
