Made this because of yet another Tumblr fiasco! Im a queer witch trying to find a new home that offers the same quirkyness as tumblr. But without the problems :)

Your Grimoire is Good Enough

✨ Don’t feel bad if your grimoire is in a cheap notebook.

✨ Don’t feel bad if you rip out or redo a page.

✨ Don’t feel bad if your handwriting isn’t perfect.

✨ Don’t feel bad if you make mistakes, everyone does.

✨ Don’t feel bad if you spell something wrong. Cross it out or use white out.

✨ Don’t feel bad if you want to transfer your grimoire to a new book. This is how you learn what you prefer.

✨ Don’t feel bad if you rip a page.

✨ Don’t feel bad if you forget something.

✨ Don’t feel bad if you smear ink/paint/pencil.

✨ Don’t feel bad if you spill something on your book.

✨ Don’t compare your grimoire to someone else’s, all the little mistakes you make give it character.

Just a reminder : “witch” hasn’t become a gender neutral title for a magic user –
it was always a gender neutral title.

A separate reminder, but also important : not everyone who practices magic calls themselves a witch or relates to the term, and it is okay to not feel comfortable using that as a label. You do not need to be a witch to practice magic, and the word you use to describe yourself as a magical practitioner does not make you any less magical.

Keep being magical folks! ✨🌟✨

So I’m about to play in my first d&d campaign tomorrow and the dm has to create an npc bc were one person short, right? Well because of the characters we already have, it was best for the npc to be a character that can heal in some way. Basically how I see it, this is going to be the d&d version of an incredibly exasperated Mercy trying to keep up with all her players

spiritscraft:

Pick up salt packets and pepper/hot sauce packets and sugar and honey packets at restaurants. Salt is protective, pepper/hot sauce for hexing, sugar and honey for sweeting things up. Chocolates for romance and sex and mints for chance meetings where you want to make a good impression. Variety tea bags are single use herbals: Chamomile, mint, ginger, etc. You can keep them in your bag and always have them handy.

Snail Mail Struggles

I’ve been looking for a pen pal that I can snail mail with who is around my age (aka they are also a minor within 1 or so years of me) and who shares interests outside of witchcraft. Of course, the main point was to have a friend to talk about witchcraft with, but it’s fun to relate in other ways. I went to a witch pen pal blog looking for other teen witches who want to snail mail, but I was hesitant to contact anybody because I’m super shy and felt more sure I could get the message across about the relationship I’m looking for better if I just submitted my own ad.

So I did. But unfortunately the blog hasn’t been active in three weeks. I don’t know how fast submissions go through (this is the first time I’ve looked for a snail mail pen pal) and I am in no way trying to insult the owner of that blog, but I’m incredibly impatient and therefore incredibly bummed. So I guess what I’m wondering is if I should make a penpal ad just on this blog, tag it with what I’m hoping is the appropriate tags, and get penpals that way? What do you guys think?

ps. To be clear, I’m totally fine with mutuals who are adults, I just prefer (and my parents definitely do too) exchanging something as personal as a mailing address with someone my age.

 Lavender Sugar Scrub

I made this today, and its amazing! It smells fantastic, and it leaves my skin feeling so soft. So here’s what I did, so that you can do it too! Most witches will already have these ingredients on hand, and if you don’t, they’re all readily available at any grocery store:

  • Pure cane sugar
  • Coconut oil
  • Lavender buds
  • Lavender essential oil

So this is really simple and its not an exact science, which means you can customize it to whatever consistence or potency you want! Anyways…

Combine the sugar and the coconut oil (a little coconut oil goes a long way; even if the mixture seems too thick and hard, just moosh it around with a fork for a while and it’ll loosen up). Toss in some lavender buds and a few drops of essential oil, and TA-DA! You have yourself a sugar scrub! Its gentle on your skin, and it has the added bonus of lavender’s calming powers.

Now, the shelf life of these scrubs varies dramatically depending on the container, the temperature of where your keeping it, whether or not it gets wet, etc. But as a rule of thumb, I wouldn’t use it past 2 months, or once there is visible discoloration (because this might be mold). Small batches are probably the best idea!

Enjoy!
