People seem to have faith that magic will work well enough to summon spirits, but not well enough to protect you from them.

A Lesson on Grief
Those of you who have been here with me for a while know...I am no stranger to death. I often talk about those I've lost on here. I've lost many I loved.
I've lost the first love of my life before I fell for my current spouse.
I'll be real with you.
It'll never stop hurting.
Never.
No matter how much time has passed. No matter how prepared you think you are. No matter how strong you think you are. It'll always hurt. Even when you've healed from the initial loss.
Allow yourself to hurt. To cry, to wail.
Tumblr media
Give yourself time to fall apart. Because you will fall apart whether you choose to or not. Grief will come for you no matter how much you can try and put it off.
So give yourself some grace, and take the time to remember the life of the being you lost, assess it, and mourn them.
It's healthy. It hurts, but it's healthy.
It is the most raw way to honor those we've lost. There's no convoluted method, no specific ritual. All it is is the love you had for that person and still may have, flowing through you again. And that's perfectly okay. It's human.

Introduction post:
◤──•~❉☽❉~•──◥
✬Basics✬
∘₊✧──────✧₊∘
┏━•❃°•°❀°•°❃•━┓
I’m a 20 year old witch named Nimbus.
I use the she—her pronouns.
This blog will serve as a spot for me to post my knowledge
I’ve gathered throughout the years.
┗━•❃°•°❀°•°❃•━┛
✬More in-depth✬
I enjoy reading, writing, and learning in general. Which translates into me having a lot of nonsensical albeit trivial information on a variety of topics, but I’m always going to site my sources when needed. I don’t pretend as if I know absolutely everything about any given topic, though I will say I do know quite a bit about a few such as astrology (though, I’m still learning how to make predictions), Tarot-reading (I LOVE doing and speaking about tarot), as well as crafting spells (though, I most likely will speak very limitedly on this topic).
If at any point in time something I’ve said sparks any form of a question, please feel free to ask me! I’m more than happy to explain myself further, just maybe not on the spell-work things. I’ll go over basic correspondences and whatnots, but I will not get into how or why my spell worked, which specific deity I contacted for help, or whatever else in that nature.
But, if you’re afraid to ask a question publicly (I’m pretty sure I have anonymous asks turned on), please be sure to message me.
I hope to build a little family of followers on here; so please feel free to follow this blog even if you are not a witch or into the occult, or you’re just trying to feel everything out!
I do not have an DNI list, as I use the block button freely. Do not be an asshole, and you will not get blocked!
Have a great day.

Little Psychic awakening spell I did
Just a small candle

And thyme in the outside
Plus i drew an eye on the candle and said some words over it.
I just felt like I had to cast a spell that day

Spell Ingredient - 'Love Twists'
So today I wanted to share a spell ingredient that I've been using as an alternative to taglocks like hair, nails, etc. when casting a spell towards a specific person. I've had pretty good personal success from this, and they're pretty simple to make.
I also wanted to share because this is one of the first personalised spell ingredients I've ever created, I think part of the success I've had with using them comes from their personal relationship to my beliefs and superstitions.
Where do 'Love Twists' come from?
When I was around six years old, I learned a superstition on the school playground - if you take an apple, and twist the stem whilst reciting the alphabet, the stem will break off on the letter of the first name of your soulmate. It was a simple game that we'd play every few weeks, and this little superstition has followed me throughout my life, and I continued to do this for every apple as a little bit of harmless fun.
Shortly after I started my path, I began to save the stems that broke off on the initial of my SO's name. When he was having issues with job applications, I made a prosperity spell jar and added a love twist as a kind of taglock, and the spell ended up being very effective.
Now, I collect the initials for several people - my parents, my close friends, my brother - and I keep them in case they need a little magical helping hand in the future.
'Love Twists' and Correspondences
I feel that what makes this kind of unconventional taglock unique is that it doesn't carry a neutral energy: because of the unconscious association with love from the original superstition, I think it promotes a positive effect within the spell. It's not only a connection to that person, but a representation of the care you feel for that person, which is informing the spell you cast.
However, I want to note that I wouldn't recommend using a love twist in a love spell. I personally don't really touch love spells because of the long and storied ethical concerns many have, but I think they would be ineffective.
In my practice I've found they work best in directing magic to another person, and not necessarily in turning magic upon yourself. I did two spells a few months apart in an attempt to improve the relationship between myself and a family member, both with a love twist as a taglock, and the spell that had a more profound effect was the one that also included some of my hair.
Because of this, I think there could be a strong directional aspect to using love twists as a taglock, and I've found they work best in directing magic towards someone - I use them to help solve problems in my friends' and family's lives.
*
I hope you guys found this interesting, and I would love to hear if anyone tries using a love twist in their practice. I'm currently trying to really hone my craft in my practice and figure out where I want to take my path, and I really want to engage with the witchblr community instead of just lurking so I'm going to try and be more active.

I've realized that for a non-pagan, or at least for someone who doesn't work with deities, I follow A LOT of polytheistic blogs. Nothing wrong with that but I need more *witchcraft* on my dash.
So! Please reblog if any of these apply!
🕯️are 18+
🕯️don't work with deities
🕯️post about witchcraft, spells and rituals, magic history and theory, tarot/divination, folk magic, ancestor veneration, spirit work, energy work, herbalism, etc
🕯️want to be friends !
🧄🔪radfems, terfs, racists, nazis, homophobes et cetera fuck off🔪🧄

What to ask yourself and consider before committing to the path of a Death Worker. Take some time and consider your answers and write them down.
What does death mean to you?
• take a second to think about your personal beliefs on what death is, and what it means to die.
How do you handle transitions?
• do you resist or embrace transitions and change?
How would you react to having spirits and other entities such as deities in your space?
• do you have the skills to handle constant activity in your space?
• do you know how to keep out specific entities, do you know how to banish them?
How comfortable are you with interacting with the grieving?
• do you have the capacity to care about the living wounded by death?
Why are you choosing this path?
• wanting to genuinely help?
• just the aesthetic?
• revenge/spite?
Do you believe you have the coping skills to handle the more gruesome deaths?
• even if you can’t physically see them you will end up hearing details and accounts
How have you been affected personally by death?
• have you died?
• has someone close to you passed?
The list isn’t perfect or everything you should work on! It’s a great inner work practice.

Things No One Tells You About Being a Spirit Witch
In no particular order:
In a lot of cases, you do not get to control your ears. You'll hear some shit and you just have to live with it.
You will ask is that tinnitus or the spirits a lot. It's okay, I'm sure we all do it.
Tumblr media
Negotiating with spirits is not nearly as cool as people think it is. You sound like a secretary/receptionist 210% done with their fucking job.
Sometimes, spirits are better people than the living. Good luck with that.
You don't have to change the way you speak as much as you think you do. Most of the time they will understand you.
Some spirits do hang around you just because. It's not a bad thing. Sometimes, they're just willing to chill.
Tumblr media
Spirits are there a lot more than you think they are. Even if you don't feel them.
Many don't respect your privacy, but also many do.
Shy spirits are hilariously frightening. Mostly because while they're trying to avoid you, they're fucking up stuff in the process that scares/startles others.
Formalities are great, but often not that needed.
Nearly every spiritual encounter is highly situational.
If you don't know how to roll with the punches/be adaptable to a certain degree, especially when it comes to spirit work, you're not going to have a good time.
Tumblr media
Spirits can be highly opinionated. You might be shocked on what you hear.
They warn you for a reason. It'd be wise to heed them.
Spirits are not fucking mind readers. You have to communicate with them too. They do not know what you want, even if they do talk in your head. Tell them what you fucking want from them.
The tea you can get from spirits....IMMACULATE

I'm seeing a LOT of psa's and warnings about how certain bigoted ideologies are rampant in the occult/witchcraft community so here's a friendly reminder: This blog is LGBTQIA+ friendly and absolutely NO transphobia and NO terf bigotry is welcome and there will always be an active effort to prevent such ideologies from running rampant in this community.
This blog supports the Native American & Indigenous communities and will absolutely not use terms that are deemed cultural appropriation to these communities as their practices are closed to non-natives.
Other reminders:
Male witches are witches and the term itself is gender-neutral.
No, people into astrology should not use it as an excuse to be an asshole. It is just a fun tool.
Witchcraft and natural remedies does not replace science and should instead co-exist.
There is nothing wrong with using terms like "masculine energy" or "feminine energy" but you should be conscious of who is using these terms in a way that can be harmful.
Feel free to add more.

Introduction & some information!
Introduction:
Name: Magnolia
I am nineteen years old, and I’m a witch! I enjoy learning about astrology, tarot, spellcasting, and general cooking and baking. I do not work with a specific deity, though I do ask some for help more often than I do others… but, that’s to be expected! I am a HUGE believer in citing my sources, so I do try to do so as often as possible.
I also journal a lot, and with that comes the formulations of my own opinions, so for those I most likely won’t have sources to cite, but if I pull from other sources to form the opinion, I’ll make a “recommended reading” portion in the post, or something similar.
So, to get to the more “witchy” side of the post, here are what the 12 astrological houses mean!!
Astrology Houses:
In short, the houses mean the following:
1st House: Self Image, the impression you make on others.
2nd House: Your personal resources, what makes you feel safe and secure
3rd House: What you know and your everyday surroundings, including siblings and familiar patterns
4th House: Home life, family, close relationships, the past and its effect on you
5th House: Pleasure & creativity, self-expression, fun, children
6th House: Productivity, service, routines
7th House: Partnership and committed relationships, what you bring into your world through other people
8th House: How you relate to other people’s resources and things out of your control, including beginnings and endings, transformations, crises
9th House: Open-mindedness, philosophy, exchange of culture and ideas, expanded consciousness, travel
10th House: Your public self and commitments, career, how you wanted to be remembered, your legacy
11th House: Your social world, friends & acquaintances, how you relate to groups of people
12th House: Your unconscious, dreams, fantasies
So, as you can see; the first through the sixth houses are more personal houses, while 7—12 are interpersonal houses. I found the description of the two halves on this site to sum everything up quite nicely:
“A person whose chart has lots of planets in the first six houses may have trouble leaving the nest, or may remain nostalgically loyal to childhood friends.” & “Someone with a lot of planets in the later houses might be very career-focused, perhaps leaving the past behind and growing closer to friends made in adulthood.” ← these are two extremally helpful, but very generic definitions.
For example, I have nine placements within the first six houses, and only two placements within the 7th—12th houses. But! Because of my placements in the later houses being Jupiter in my 12th house, and Saturn in my 10th, I am one to find success through privacy, secrets, as well as introspection (12), and I have had difficulties with goals, success, and responsibility (10). With that, I’m hopeful that you’re seeing that the generic doesn’t always hold true to everybody! And, if something someone says, be it through a tarot reading OR a birth chart analysis doesn’t go good with your gut, please keep in mind that everybody has a birth chart; and that it influences the way we think and act. Also!! I just want to mention some sites that are completely free to get your birth chart!
I like Co—Star, it has a mobile app as well as a website; and https://cafeastrology.com/
If you have anymore sites that you like, feel free to add them on the list!! Have a lovely day!
Also! check out this post of mine if you'd like a tarot reading!

Who am I?
I like to go by A, I’m a nineteen-year-old intermediate practitioner that’s enamored by angels. I don’t know much about angels; I just like to look at them (statues, drawings, and whatnot). I don’t think I’d be the one to work with them either, at least; not right now. Maybe sometime in the future, but not now.
I do however, work with the infernal divine; along with some Greco—Roman deities. I’d rather not list them here, but maybe in the coming posts I will. I’m still feeling out this community; so I’m sorry for having some hesitations with sharing information. I also would like to state that I do not care who follows me, I accept everyone; regardless of their race, visions, beliefs, gender identity—I accept you for you. I expect the same respect in return, though.
I do spell-work; and I’d love to share some of my own spells with you all, too! I’m currently in the process of making a Notion page that will hold my spells and whatnots for easy access; and so I can copy and paste them to Tumblr with ease.
I hope you all have a wonderful day, and stay safe!
