Smut so 18+, MDNI!

TotK spoilers below!

Smut CW: Breeding Kink, Dragon! Reader, Mating season, Sage. He's just a warning himself at this point. slight choking!

'Tis the Season

His memory was not as bad as he once portrayed it as.

While yes, it was once bad, it had gotten less...splotchy in the years past. He was recalling things he could not previously with less of a trigger needed.

One memory did need a trigger though. It happened during his last flash back to the time of the Zonai, when he figured out what happened with Zelda. It threw him from one bad black out right into the next. Only...This wasn't that bad. No, it was nice.

The familiar smell of blossoms spread around him, not soft like the Silent Princess but sharper-- like a cherry blossom. It was nostalgic and comforting in ways that no other memory had been. He didn't want to leave this one.

The heavy pounding of wings, leather and solid like a Gleeok's, didn't bring him any fear. No, instead it brought the evocative feeling of home. Something that he was used to being wrapped around him, shielding him from the icy feeling of Zelda's steely gaze.

Looking around, he felt his lips turn into a grin against his wishes at the sight of a figure in the sky. They had wings, wide and translucent, spread against the sky, casting the sun around them in a halo of pure light. A tail fell behind much thinner legs, the flares at the end flickering every now and then as the being hovered. In a fell swoop, the being allowed themselves to fall before catching the wind and soaring just before colliding into the dirt. They approached too quickly for him to turn and run, but instead of drawing his weapons, his muscles stayed frustratingly lax, letting the creature grow closer. Their wings beat cool breezes around him as they landed. He noticed their bare feet, adorned with rings and bracelets drafted in jewels and inky black claws that dug into the mud beneath them. There were matching claws on your fingers, along with more rings and bracelets, which reflected the light of the sun above them.

The wings spread once more, shuddering before collapsing against their back. Horns matching the color of the wings shined as the being shook their head free of their messy hair. Scales glittered along their cheekbones and the bridge of his nose, his hand raising to gently brush against the former. The being leaning into his hand, smoke bellowing out of their nostrils as a happy little hum left their-...your lips. A name flickered in and out of his memory as your hand came up to cup his own.

The memory faded out leaving him with nothing but a bittersweet yearning, a whisper of a name, and a collection of weeds leftover from the Dragon's Tear.

It wasn't enough. He needed to know more about you. He recognized the place in the memory, quickly making his way to the field. It was barren when he got there, no flowers, scorched with ashes. It made something bitter settle in his stomach but he got the desired results.

This time the sky was a blood red, bitter and angry with black spits of ash falling. That wasn't what had his breath catching in his throat. No. It was the wounds that littered your body. Burns, livid and still sizzling, decorated your once pristine skin as your once firm and whole wings laid in pure taters around you. Holes that couldn't have felt good smoked as you laid still. Horridly still. A hand on his arm tried pulling him away from the scene. He turned to see Zelda already disregarding your broken form, convinced that she could still unlock her powers in time. Blind to the fact that they had already lost. You were gone. You had given your life for their own. And She didn't care. He could do Ganon a favor then and there.

You had died protecting them from a raging gang of Lynels. You were dead. And Zelda didn't care. She just wanted him to fulfill his duty and carry on and unfortunately, he had no choice but to follow.

The memory filtered out once more, and he was left with a boiling rage and clenching fists. Angry energy with nowhere to go, poisoning his veins. So he did the only thing he could think of. He screamed. It was something bitter and full of raw passion, enough so that he felt something tear- if not pull in the very least.

In the very far distance, a dragon's roar echoed his own scream.

He took off running.

<><><><>

You were alive. Scarred and traumatized, scared and cautious, but alive. And you knew who he was. You didn't seem to believe it at first, but then your eyes caught the earring hanging from his ear. He had had it since he had awoken in the shrine and seemingly before even that. It had just always been apart of him.

One of your clawed fingers had slowly, so so slowly, reached for it, brushing against the jewelry. You were so warm. It was so nice against what he remembered as your cold and stony skin, so pale as opposed to your tanned skin as it was now.

"You still wear this." You had whispered, voice crackling as if you hadn't used it for Hylian speech patterns. "I had gifted it to you when we first started courting. I am surprised they have lasted as long as they have with your reckless behavior."

Without even thinking about it, his own hand reached to grace against your scales once more. And it felt right. "Of course I do. They reminded me of you," He had whispered back. While he was never certain of where they came from, they did remind him of comfort and safety, all things he could now identify as you. Gorgeous, effervescent you who was now back in his arms, growling lowly in your throat as he clung onto you. "Why do you have to go again?"

"We've been over this, my heart," You grumbled, shaking your head. "Mating season is dangerous. I cannot risk your own preservation for my pleasure."

He groaned, throwing enough of his weight onto you that you staggered just a bit, wings snapping out to support both his weight and your own. "I'm a big boy, I can handle it. Why must you leave me?"

"Link-"

He just had to stall a little longer. It had been weeks of work, to keep himself off of you, but he had done it, leaving you just as pent up as he felt. And now it was just a matter of stalling long enough you let your pretty little brain shut down and let him do all the thinking for once.

Just a little longer.

Your tail twitched behind you, swiping against the wood of your shared home. "I don't have time-"

"Just stay here with me, princess. Let me take away all your worries-" He nipped at that spot right under your ears, right where your scales ended. It made you shiver, muscles running lax for a moment before you stiffened.

"Link, don't-"

<><><>

"-Stop," You panted out, head falling against the pillows as your wings remained splayed out behind you. Smoke bellowed out from between your teeth as he kept you pinned with a hand on your throat, the cradle between his thumb and index finger cutting off your airway as he rammed his own hips against yours.

You were so pretty like this, brainless and drooling, doing anything he asked of you. Honestly, he doesn't know why you ever fought him on this. He would always win when if came to you. He knew he would make you bend, it was just a matter of time.

He couldn't believe you ever thought you could hurt him. Look at you! Drooling over his hand as you clung to the arm holding you down, nothing but mindless babbles leaving your lips; asking, begging for more. Begging for him to breed you and fill you.

He would do just that. Fill you to the brim. Fill you until your primal mind was satisfied. Fill you until there was no question on whether or not you would carry his young. You would be the mother of his child, no question about it. He would father your only children and he would finally get the ending he deserved. What you both had earned through bloodshed and tears, sweat and sacrifice. This was what everything had led to. This was what all the fighting had been for.

And Goddess above was it worth it.

The thought of you, as a mother, was soul satisfying as you cried out beneath him. He would do anything to see you so. You wanted it, he wanted it, what more to the equation was there?

After all, 'tis the season.

Herb Spotlight: Fleabane

Guess what bitches? It's ~Fleabane Season~

Fleabane is a "weed" (i.e., a wildflower in the Erigeron family) that is prevalent throughout North America, and grows like crazy if left to prosper in meadow-y areas. It looks very similar to domesticated daisies, albeit much smaller in flower size, more akin to German Chamomile. There are actually many different types of Fleabane, and the color of the petals can vary from white to yellow, or even a pinkish/purpley color. It's a composite flower, and it will have many flower heads per stem. Neat, huh?

Anyways, Fleabane had been used for thousands of years in North America by the indigenous peoples. It has both a variety of magickal and medicinal uses!

Magickal uses include:

Exorcism. Yes, like banishing-bad-sprits type of exorcism, along with banishment of negative energies. Burn it as you would any other herb bundle (sage, rosemary, cedar, etc) to exorcize a space of any negative entity or energy.

You can also use it to protect yourself by preventing bad spirits from arriving by hanging it around your home - either in bundles, or small sachets. Can be done in combination with St. John's Wort, wheat, and a few capers for best effect.

The seeds of the Fleabane flower tossed between the bedsheets promotes chastity. I guess if you really need someone (or yourself) to remain celibate for a time, this can come in handy - especially if the person co-sleeps with a partner.

Alignments of: feminine aspect, the planet Venus, and the element of Water.

Along with the metaphysical uses of Fleabane, there is a wide variety of medicinal uses for this plant (note: I am not a medical doctor. Do not take this as medical advice. Consult a physician or certified herbalist if you plan on taking it for any of these... ahem... more serious uses).

Medicinal uses include:

To reduce inflammation. Can be used in a poultice or a tea to treat inflammation about the body.

Wound ointment. Traditionally, the Cherokee made an ointment using the herb and tallow to made a balm or salve for cuts and scrapes, as it has astringent properties.

You can steep it in a Witch Hazel Extract solution to further enhance the astringent properties for use on skin.

The roots can be boiled in water to make a solution for "menstruation troubles" (i.e., to bring about a miscarriage. Dangerous. Do not do this).

Drinking a tea can also help break fevers and treat symptoms of the common cold

A diuretic, can help with certain kidney conditions (consult a doctor for this one to make sure no medications you are taking with interfere with its use. Do not use if you have a history of kidney disease) by breaking up any of the smaller particulates that would lead to kidney stones

Using the herb as an incense and inhaling the smoke can be used to treat head colds

Has antioxidant and neuroprotective properties from something called caffeic acid, which this plant has LOTS of!

Aids in digestion and can be used to treat diarrhea

May help with passive bleeding or minor hemorrhaging by being applied directly to the wound (don't take this advice, go to the fuckin ER)

Had been shown in some circumstances to inhibit the growth of cancerous tumors (for the love of God, see a doctor for this, don't take the advice of a post on tumblr dot com to treat cancer)

Isn't this plant so cool? And you cloud have it growing in your yard right now! I know I do, because I harvested a fuck ton of it today, evidenced here:

I'm going to dry all of these bundles and process them into cut and shifted leaves/stems and flowerheads. The two small bundles in the middle will be hung from the ceiling to ward off negative spirits and energies.

Now for some fun facts!

Despite the name Fleabane and the association of repelling fleas and ticks, there is no proven evidence that this works... at least for the dried herbs. I haven't found any studies on this for live plants.

The entire plant is edible, and is high in vitamin C! It was used to treat scurvy, and the cooked leaves taste like spinach (you can eat them raw, but there's little hairs all over it, which are not pleasant to consume)

These plants are high in caffeine! If you make a tea out of the flower heads the same way you would Chamomile, you get a nice floral tea with a kick to start your day off right.

Remember kids! I am *not* a doctor, so don't be using this to treat some weird ailment or cancer. And please, for the love of God, do some research on herbs before you use them medicinally. But in terms of the metaphysical properties, go ham! Have a blast! Banish that weird ghost in your house that likes to watch you pee!

And as always, have fun with your craft!

Freaky Idea

Pt. 2 of New Idea

pairing: Stepbrother!Taehyung x Fem!Reader

genre: oneshot, pseudo-incest, smut

synopsis: The last guaranteed day you have with Taehyung is spent with his choice of adventure. You learn a lot of things about the history of freakshows, and how much of a freak your brother is as well.

warnings: mention of murder and somnophilia, riding, manipulation

word count: 3.8k

When Taehyung agreed to being your slave for a month, he wasn’t lying. He was attached to your hip throughout the whole time span, obeying your every command without complaint. You didn’t deem him forgiven, but you can’t say you don’t enjoy his company and compliance. The whole month was a bliss for you.

The first week, the morning after the… event, you had him prepare breakfast for you and your mother walked in on him cooking an omelette for you. She was perplexed, and with her morning drowsiness asked, “You’re home?” before smothering him with a hug. Your father gave him the minimum acknowledgement, and it went by quickly with your mother being surprised every time she saw him in the morning.

The second week, he drove you around and paid for your every need. You don’t know how he has so much money, but you wouldn’t be surprised if he sells drugs or had robbed a bank. You decided to reward him by kissing his cheek every time he bought you clothes and jewelries per your request. He realized he enjoyed spoiling you, and took you shopping in different malls for 7 days straight.

The third week, you met his friend. You had insisted, and he gave in after a short while of you begging because it was difficult to say no to you and rules are rules. His terms were: 1. You're going to act like his girlfriend, and 2. You sit on his lap. Maybe you didn't get it, but his friend Namjoon didn't seem dangerous enough for you to be behaving the way you were forced to. Sitting in front of a burning barrel in the middle of nowhere, Taehyung and Namjoon smoked weed together while you watched them. The conversation was fun, and you wanted to see him again. Taehyung didn’t allow you to question the ordeal. Rest of the week went by a breeze.

Fourth week was relatively calm as well, and now Taehyung is on his final day of slavery. It’s somewhat melancholic for you because you don’t know if he’ll vanish once the clock hits 12. You’re sitting on the kitchen counter, swinging your dangling legs while your step-brother inspects the fridge to find you something for lunch. The two of you woke up late this morning, well, afternoon, and you don’t know why you feel so exhausted and sore. You’ve been feeling this way for a whole month now, but you’re growing somewhat used to it.

“This bitch is empty,” Taehyung grumbles before closing the fridge and standing up straight. When he notices your soft pout, he slithers his way between your legs. “What’s wrong princess? Are you tired?”

“Will you be here tomorrow?” you blurt without beating around the bush and peek at him under your lashes.

His brow ticks as he tilts his head. “Did you want to do something?”

“Well, no,” you drawl, “I just wish… you were here more often.”

"You know I can't stay away from you for long," he counters your worries, "especially if you allowed me to…"

"Stop." You distance yourself by pushing him away; you don't want to think about what he was implying. You made it explicitly clear that anything remotely sexual wasn't allowed to be brought up when you were around, and he’s been sticking to that rule until now - to your knowledge, at least.

“Stop teasing your sister, Taehyung.” your mother enters the kitchen while tying the knot of her robe, now checking the fridge herself.

He rolls his eyes before turning to her and retaliating, “I didn’t even do anything.” You giggle to yourself and bite your fist. “Did I tease you?” he asks innocently with his neck craned in your direction.

“Yes, he doesn’t even make me breakfast,” you joke with a grin.

“The fridge is fucking empty!”

“Language,” your mother warns strictly before taking out a box of frozen pizza. “And it isn’t empty. Could you turn on the oven for me, love?” You nod and arrange the heat to 200 degrees while Taehyung scoffs, “I can’t survive in a house with women.”

“Man up,” your step-father butts in monotonously. “You have to rely on your mother to cook to this day. When will you move out? Act your age Taehyung, you’re 21.”

The light-hearted atmosphere dims with the presence of Taehyung’s father. There’s a distinct contrast between your two parents, and you can understand why your step-brother is so rebellious around them. The only thing holding them together is their dedication to religion.

He only huffs and crosses his arms in response as his dad grabs a carton of juice and a glass from the cupboard. It’s tense in the room until Taehyung leans into your ear and whispers, “I’m only here because of you.”

A light blush tints your cheeks at his sweet confession, although it also makes you guilty. He later convinces you to eat with him in your room, and it’s comfortable in your bed as you chomp on the slices hungrily.

“Is there anything you want to do today?” Taehyung asks as he chews on his pizza.

“Let’s do something you want for a change,” you answer after swallowing.

Though he hasn’t been showing any lack of interest around you, you are aware that you haven’t been doing anything fun by his definition. You’re worried that you’ve bored him throughout this whole timespan of being together.

A smirk grows on his face and there’s that glint of mischief in his eyes that you’ve missed. Fair, the last time you saw it was before he traumatized you, but you try not to think about it much like you ignore the constant ache between your legs.

“There’s this circus,” he begins slowly, “I hear it’s interesting. Would you want to come with?”

You know he’s leaving something out, his cautious tone and aura implicit he knows something you don’t. But you nod anyway, because you still stupidly trust him.

Taehyung’s car is old and retro, but he must have upgraded the engines for how fast he is driving. You like admiring his side profile as he holds the steering wheel, but the view is much more interesting when he catches you looking. It’s a far location, and you’re out of the city by the time he parks his car in the woods. How did he memorize the directions when it took an hour to get there?

“We’re here,” he announces before shifting the manual stick gear with a screech. You exit the car and he is not gentle with the way he slams the door closed, so you do the same. You can see hints of red colors between the cracks of the thin trees.

“Is it open?” you question apprehensively. The sun hasn’t set yet, but it should be getting dark soon in the evening.

“Hasn’t been open for a century. You wouldn’t believe the amount of history this place has.”

He takes the lead in his steps, and you follow behind though your gut doesn’t approve. The path isn’t long, and only then do you see the circus when Taehyung moves aside. It’s run down, worn out colors in the curtains, broken glasses on the ground and the circus barely holding itself up. There’s a huge cannon in the middle of the stage, the tip balancing itself on the ground. It’s kind of creepy, but Taehyung doesn’t leave you in the dark for long.

“A lot of crazy shit happened here, you know,” he piques your curiosity, “the clowns were fucking freaks. Any type of physical disorder landed you in here, whether you liked it or not. Even for babies,” he picks up an idle shard of glass, “these were jars. They had deformed fetuses on display on a stand, but the wind must have fucked it up.”

“Deformed fetuses?”

“Yeah, like, conjoined and some other stuff.” You grimace at his description, although it stirs empathy in you. The 20th century sounds inhumane.

“Are these real stories?”

“Yeah. And the cannon: they rocketed people from this very bad boy,” he points at it before standing under.

Your stomach sinks as you panic, “It could fall on you!” You pull at his hand and the force makes your chests meet. He smiles down at you before pecking your lips. You stammer, a little mad as he chuckles before walking to a wooden wheel. He makes a star pose after stepping on the metal stand, stretching out his limbs to fit the whole circle.

“This was the Wheel of Death; they threw knives at targets on this. I think they only targeted females actually...” He nods at you to replace him as he hops off. You go along with his idea and climb on the stand, though it creaks weakly. He takes out a pocket knife from his pocket and you’re about to yell before he hurls it at you. It lands above your shoulder and you immediately scold, “What the fuck, Tae?! Why would you do that! I could’ve died.”

He shrugs with a bright grin, clearly unbothered by your stressing. “My aim isn’t too bad.” He walks over to you and collects his floating knife. “Besides, when have I ever hurt you?”

You bite your tongue and purse your lips with a glare.

“See?” he whispers. “You can’t even name one time…”

He’s teasing your silence, how you can’t even dare to voice the specific night. You haven’t even told your parents and slept with him right after, and he finds that so interesting: that you trust him with your life.

“You actually can’t? Wow, I didn’t realize I was such a good brother,” he grins lopsidedly before snapping his fingers. “On with the tour.” He is enthusiastic as he struts past the circus. You shake your head with a sigh but follow him regardless. “So there were sword swallowers, acrobats, strongmen, anything that drew attention. They had a shit ton of accidents and deaths, but you would die if you got boring as well.” Taehyung holds back a bush to let you pass; the place he’s leading you to is a lot more crowded with sages and trees than the previous path. “Once the initial attraction wears off, you’re a goner. They couldn’t survive in that society with those deformities, so it was suicide either way.”

“That is so cruel,” you mumble sympathetically. “This place was like a fractured fantasy.”

“At least they lived for a bit… up until someone ended it.” When he pushes away the woodruffs, you’re met with another rundown site with a few… cages? “This is the trailer. Where they stayed and got ready for their shows. Some were held against their will, and slept with the animals in those cages.”

You gape at your surroundings in shock. The trailer is missing one side of the wall, and the rest have been vandalized with random phrases written in spray paint. You don’t give much attention to the torture cages, because the trailer has a lot more to show. It still has couches on the incomplete hardwood flooring, and Taehyung plops on one. The fabric is torn and dust rises the moment he’s on the seat. “That’s so dirty, Tae,” you pull a displeased face.

“Don’t be rude to the past occupants. Their ghosts might still be around.” He wiggles his fingers as if imitating a monster. He then pats his thighs, beckoning you to sit on his lap. You begrudgingly do so, and he wraps his arms around your waist before pulling you flush against him. “Any theories on how this shitshow ended?”

“Police intervention?”

“Something like that, I guess. One of the acrobats went nuts and shot everyone, so the place was shut down.”

“What?” you widen your eyes at him. “Why did they do that?”

“He was going to be replaced, so he got rid of the competition. Very chilling,” he casually states. “There must be some bullet holes in the walls, but we can check that out later.” His head snuggles into your neck while you’re still processing his words, but you go blank when he starts leaving feather light kisses on your neck. “Right now,” he murmurs, “I just want you to ride me.”

“Ride you?”

“Don’t act innocent, you know what I mean. You said I could choose what we did today… and I want to fuck here.”

“Taehyung… I specifically told you we aren’t allowed to do anything sexual. You hurt me last time as well,” you frown at the mention.

“I asked you if I ever hurt you earlier. Did you say anything?” he asks condescendingly.

“No…”

“Why are you saying I hurt you now? Don’t tell lies, baby. Besides,” his hand slides down to your thigh as he speaks in a low, sultry voice, “I’ve been loosening up your cunt. You don’t even wake up at night anymore. It won’t hurt this time, I promise.”

You had an inkling, the stupid inkling that you tried so damn hard to brush aside. “You fucked me in my sleep?” you force out, your mouth suddenly feeling dry. “And you brought me here just to–”

“Christ, no,” he cuts you off offendedly, “I’m not that sick in the head. I didn’t plan it, but I can’t say I wasn’t hoping. It’s not like I’m going to rape you.”

“You did it once!”

“I was on a lot of drugs then! I’m clean now,” he huffs in irritation. “I’m sorry about that, and I know my apology is long overdue or whatever, but give me a break. I’ve been into you since I was like 16.”

You turn to look at him - really look at him. There’s not a trace of guilt on his face; the roots of his messy teal hair have grown out; the beauty of his naturally downward lip corners; you don’t know what to think. Your mind is a mess because you don’t know what to make of his confession. He has manipulated you countless times, coerced you into doing things you would never do, and for once you reflect on his personality. This could be one of his schemes in order to get you to do what he wants, and ironically, he was supposed to be doing that for you. Through all of your scrambled thoughts, you only muster a meek “really?”

“Yes,” he affirms, “that’s why I want to be intimate with you.”

Lies, lies, lies, you think before gently pressing your lips against his. Despite your attempt at kissing him softly, he doesn’t cooperate by instantly sucking on your nether lip with vigor, his hands immediately meeting at your hips to gently rock them against his crotch. He bites your lip before swiping his tongue against it, coaxing, “Suck on my tongue.” The awkward angle from where you’re kissing him makes him turn your body to completely face him, your knees landing on either side of him on the uncomfortable chair. It doesn’t matter, because you’re starting to forget the whole setting, just about everything except for him as arousal begins to seep in. Heat pools in your stomach at the switch in mood, and he’s enjoying your compliance as he quietly moans into your mouth.

While you’re busy relishing in his swirling tongue, he starts tugging down your pants and you help him without looking. You sit up to push it down your ankles and throw it on the floor along with your panties. “What’s gotten into you?” he chuckles breathlessly before leaving wet kisses on your lips and pulling away to take off his wrinkled shirt.

“What do you mean?” you ask, equally breathless.

“I don’t know, you’re just… so hot when you’re horny.” His boyish smile grows on your flustered face as he says, “Take off your shirt. Wanna see those pretty tits again.”

You bite your lip to suppress your insecurities, but it doesn’t help when you’re left in your bra as you cover your chest. “Don’t be shy now,” he teases knowingly and removes your arms before unclasping the garment. “Take out my cock now.” His tone is gentle with encouragement. You unzip his jeans timidly, but your eyes grow in wonder at the outline of his erection. “I’m so hard for you,” he assures you in a whisper and takes your hand in his to rub himself. “You’re so pretty, and sexy. I fucked you every night because you’re just so irresistible. You understand, don’t you, baby?”

“I… Yes,” you agree and finally push down his briefs. His throbbing cock stands proudly and you’re intimidated by the size until he murmurs, “I won’t hurt you.” He lightly touches your bare pussy, slick with your arousal as you shudder. He coats your vulva with all of it, giving special attention to your clenching hole as he inserts a single finger. “Does it hurt?”

You shake your head, and you’re confused by the lack of pain and the desire for more. It feels good and that is a surprise for you as you sink down lower on his finger. He curls it, adds another finger and stretches your walls, emitting a moan out of you. You’re liking it, and you don’t know why; he was so cruel the last time that you were convinced something would go wrong now. Nothing does, and if anything, his fingers make you feel the best you have ever felt though it is not enough. “More,” you beg and he replaces his fingers by pulling you to the head of his cock. He’s staring right at you with hooded lids as he rubs it up and down, making you release a needy whimper. “Please, Taehyung.”

And like the slave he was meant to be, he shoves it in with a grunt. Your scream catches in your throat at the initial sting, but it’s worth it when he screws his eyes shut in pleasure and bites his lip to hold back a groan. He looks angelic under you, although he is anything but. You realize he is waiting for your cue to move, and it flutters your hearts because he is more attentive to you this time. Rather than letting him take the lead, you act on your instincts as you roll your hips. It’s unsteady at first, the foreign position making it difficult for you to adapt to so fast. His audible quick breaths encourage you to take your time in angling your pelvis comfortably, and when an involuntary moan leaves you, you place your hands on his shoulders before sticking to the current stance and going up and down on him.

“Oh shit, you’re doing so well,” he praises you between gasps, supporting your body with his hands, “feels so fucking good. My good girl.”

It gets to your head, how much he’s enjoying your motions. He meets them with thrusts of his own, perfectly hitting your cervix and blinding you with pleasure. What is it that makes you feel so wonderful in this situation? Is it the touch, or the complimentary fact that you’re the only person Taehyung wouldn’t get bored of?

Could it be that you’re two of the same?

Maybe he’s the one desperate to please you, you think as he massages your breasts, flicking your hard nipples with his thumbs so graciously. The eerie silence is broken by both of your loud moans, ecstasy sensually building up in knots in your stomachs. Sweat accumulates on your forehead, your hair sticking to your face but not hiding the sight of his erotic expression. You arch your back and grind down on him, and he’s limp on the loveseat as he takes all that you give him so submissively.

It’s your turn to use him, and you actually start understanding what makes him so rash and impulsive in hopes of receiving this amount of serotonin. It’s worth it, the release of control and morals to be with him. “Taehyung, h-how did you do it?” you moan. “Every night, what did you do?”

“I,” he tries to catch his breath, “I used my fingers to stretch you out. One finger, then two, then three.” He groans and thrusts into you fast and hard, “I fisted you at some point, and you came in your sleep, and then on my cock. Moaning and whining every fucking night, like some filthy whore.” You mewl at his crude words. He’s so obscene with you, and you clench your walls in response. “You like being my whore, hm? Little freak.”

“Yes, yes,” you confirm in a whimper, nodding your head as you pass the dominance onto him. He’s fucking into you while you stand on your knees, eyes rolled back with drool about to drip from the corner of your mouth. He starts to rub your clit and kisses your neck for you to tighten around him over and over again; it’s heaven in an empty graveyard. It’s so fucked up, yet he can’t stop. You’re panting as he manipulates your body to mold with his. “I’m close.”

His hands fall on your ass, greedily kneading it as your hips begin to stutter, your orgasm climbing up just as your energy is falling down. It hits you like a truck: the peak of pleasure, accompanied by a silent scream, nails digging into his skin as your muscles tense. “Fuck,” you breathe once his thrusts begin overstimulating you, but it’s not for long as he shoots his load inside you with a groan. He’s twitching as his erection becomes flaccid, and you feel it as he pulls out.

“Bet it didn’t hurt,” he jokes while you recover from your climax. You’re leaking with his cum and he uses his shirt to wipe you clean, making you shake from how sensitive you are. “I’ll buy you the pill on the way home.”

“Thanks,” you plainly say and stand up to pick up your clothes. You’re trembling slightly and a little achy, but it’s nothing compared to losing your virginity.

“What? You gonna give me the cold shoulder now?” He’s only in his loose pants and has his shirt thrown over his shoulder. He buckles his belt while you put on your bra.

“Why did you make us act like a couple in front of Namjoon?” After hearing his confession, the interaction before bugs you.

“What do you mean?”

“Is it because you didn’t want him to think I was single? Because you like me?”

“No, he’s a convicted felon. Crazy motherfucker killed his ex’s new boyfriend,” he reveals with a scoff. “Besides, if you like me, you’d like him as well.”

Putting your shock aside, you realize one thing: Taehyung doesn’t want to be replaced. Does that mean you hold power over him? Or will he do anything at any cost to be in your life? Regardless of your internal monologue, you only reply with, “who says I like you?”

It’s a joke, and he knows it. As promised, he buys you an emergency pill and another shirt for himself on the way home. His days of slavery are over, and you wonder: where will he be tomorrow? Maybe take his father’s advice…

-Witchy Things w/ Catra!- Domestic!

TW: Light hearted mention of getting high, slightly suggestive, possible religious trauma tw, though reader is a fantasy witch, real practices are mentioned below, slight mention of shadow weaver's abuse.

-You making protective shactels for Catra to tie around her belt.

-You making Catra tea whenever she seems stressed.

-After learning to garden from Perfuma, Catra began planting common herbs from your spells, just in case you ever ran out.

-Framed lovers card you pulled when you first asked your deck about her.

-Your friends calling Catra your familiar because they know it annoys her. Lol

-Catra complaining when the house smells like smoke.

-Catra is really sensitive to the smell of sage, so you go around the house ringing bells every other month.

-Your neighbors think you're both very strange.

-I know we all joke about it, but Catra totally grows catnip and weed in the garden.

-Upside down tarot reading when you're both high.

-Catra pulling your witch hat over your eyes when youre being a brat.

-You telling Catra, "I think you put a spell on me."

-You almost burning the house down whenever Catra flirts with you.

-Catra getting flustered when you get dressed up in your more witchy attire.

-"Do I have your attention, kitten?"

-You know she gets back at you though.

-Catra helping you find ingredients.

-"It's over here!"

-"Wait really? How do you know?"

-"It fricking stinks."

-Catra cannot stand the smell of dead animals so you have to wash bones really well or else you're not allowed to bring them inside.

-You apologizing for your witchy stuff being a bit weird.

-"Sexy weird, I like it."

-Catra messing with the hanging bells when she gets bored.

-"Don't say stuff like that Catra, think positively."

-"I'm positively depressed."

-"...o-okay, point taken."

- Sometimes when Catra gets particularly angry you just grab some string, candles, and paper and go, "Let's set this crap on fire!"

-Catra cannot say no to fire.

-Celebrating the 8 holidays with Catra and those 8 holidays being her first ones.

-Catra borderline cackling when someone implies you're evil.

-"Yeah, she's making plans to destroy the world right after picking up shiny rocks for loved ones, and comforting our plant when she repots it."

-"You didn't have to mention Harry..."

-Catra knows you can be scary though if you need to be, just ask Shadow Weaver.

-Speaking of which, Catra having a small panic attack when she saw you do a spell similar to Shadow Weavers.

-You being incredibly worried but staying calm when comforting her.

-when you bring in her favorite tea after she's settled down, you climb into bed with her.

-You ask her softly, "Can I ask what that was all about, or do you want to wait until tomorrow?"

-Taking a sip of her warm drink Catra shakes her head. "I'm sorry, it's stupid, but-but the spell you were doing, I've seen it...I've felt it..."

-You felt your jaw clench, "Shadow Weaver."

-She nodded, "Why were you even doing that spell?"

-"I wanted to make sure I had extra tricks up my sleeve if the horde or someone attacks us. I'm sorry, I didn't realize it was one of her spells, I won't do it again."

-"It's fine, like I said it was stupid of me to react like-"

-"No it wasn't kitten, I get it. Every witch specializes in their own kind of magic, it makes sense why a spell like hers would bring up those memories, especially after the way they've been used on you."

-Still trying to keep a tough act on, she let out a stout laugh. "What'd I do to deserve you?"

-Worried she wouldn't be ready for a direct kiss after a panic attack you kissed the palm of her hand.

-"Best thing that ever happened to me was the day you started letting me love you."

-Swearing to Catra up and down that you'd never hurt her.

-You giving Catra your first book of shadows.

-"I started this book when I first embraced I was a witch, everything from my favorite spells, to important herbs, the phases of our moons are in here. But, there's also every dark secret, every bad day, every fear, every insecurity, it's all in this book, and I want you to have it. I know sometimes our minds like to play tricks on us, but I hope this book is proof of how much I love you, you might as well have my heart in your hands, and I trust you with it."

-You and Catra being that couple!

-Catra loves pda and loves showing you off, and you love to show her off too!

-Melog and your familiar being skeptical of each other at first because they're both so protective.

-But they eventually grow on each other and are just as inseperable as you and Catra.

-"I think they like Melog more than me at this point."

-Your familiar teasing the freak out of you when you and Catra first started dating.

-big ass bed because the animals refuse to sleep on the floor.

-theyre like little kids, and like little kids, they get locked outside the bedroom sometimes when you and Cat need to be alone together.

-now imagine a 300 year old witch following you around in an animals body picking on you because your magic gives you two away.

-To wrap this up, you and Catra giving each other hope, even without the help of magic,

-and just being there for each other.

-You are each the future you both wanted, but never thought you could have, but now that you do, you and Catra will do whatever it takes to keep hold of it.

If you are still doing matchups,, I'd be interested in a creepypasta one. I'm coming over from Elise blog.

So my name is Shay, I go by Whiskey because it's a preference in liquor on my end. I go by they/them pronouns, AFAB and I'm bi and omniromantic, I do have an mild preference for men or masc aligned people. I'm a Libra sun, Virgo moon and Aquarius rising. I'm also introvert (INFJ-A) and I'm constantly sleeply. I do have C-PSTD, Bipolar II and GAD (Generalized Anxiety Disorder).

I'm Caucasian/White and I stand at 5'9. I have celtic and Danish heritage, My family where vikings. I'm really tall and legs double the size of my torso, as in my thighs are as big as my torso in length, same with my calves. I call myself spider legs because of that. I have this natural like wolf cut going on that is this dark green with my roots be my natural dark chocolate brown hair. My eyes are hazel with gold flecks that shift in color which I found out is normal for people with hazel eyes. I paint my nails black a lot because I find the color pleasing. My build wise is like a rectangle like shape with broad shoulders. I'm pretty strong and I'm proud of my strength. I'm currently starting to get into shape and lose weight so I have fit shape but not like over for. Just the right amount of fat over my muscles. I have a lot of stretch marks,, mostly around my waist and my biceps. I call them my stripes or lighting marks. I have plans to get snake bite piercings and wear like the ring ones in them. I'm getting an tattoo soon that is like this and then I want a burning match tattoo on my color bone. My ears are piercing and I like wearing fake gauges, spirals and then the ratings that have the dangly stuff and cuffs with them. I also wear like those stereotypical hot topic chokers. I wear a lot of long sleeves and skinny jeans, I do like ripped skinny jeans. I also love flannels and black boots like doc martins or converse.

I think you can assume by the statement of me liking whiskey I am the rebellious sort which is true. I have drank a bit and tried weed, I don't do it anymore tho.I have been told if people don't know me and see me from afar I'm intimidating to approach. Even being spooky and intimidating, I promise I'm just a big softie. I usually assume the mom friend of the group with my friends. I always worry about them and make sure they take care of themselves. Sometimes I do it so much I forget to take care of myself. I'm really gentle and compassionate, along with being extremely empathetic. I can be stubborn and bit judgemental at times, mostly working off first impressions myself when getting to know each other. I have an hard time being insertive and putting my foot down with my boundaries, scared to lose people even if the hurt me. I'm an introvert through and through, liking to watch from the back and observe the way things go on around me. I do my best to be an optimist because I can't see the point in see everything wrong in this world, it helps me to see the good. I love going on adventures with my close friends and love being a chaotic bastard with them. My dnd alignment is chaotic neutral and I'm Hufflepuff. I do live by the saying do no harm but take no shit. But I won't hesitate to fight someone for the right causes.

I do always constantly look like I am going to funeral of some sort because I own nothing but black. The color makes me feel really comfortable but it's not my favorite color. My favorite color is green but I like sage green, forest green, mossy green, etc. The earthy greens are my favorites. I have a love for the forest and woodlands, finding a sense of home in the woods. I do love archery and something I'm definitely going to be picking up along with playing the drums. I also smoke herbal cigarettes as well as alternative to smoking.

I often get called a cryptid and at this point, I am just one. Cryptidcore, Midwest Gothic, and Pacific Northwest Gothic are my favorite aesthetics. I have a huge love for cryptozoology (the study of cryptids), parapsychology (the psychic phenomena and other paranormal claims), original creepypasta stories and to be honest anything like spooky and creepy. I want to be a mortician and I'm attending school for that. I also really love the dark, especially if I have some good music blasting through my earbuds. I am a sucker for long road trips and seeing things, filling the adventure heart I have. My favorite animals are coyotes and I also like horses. I like to write a lot as well.

Okay, first off, you sound so cool?! Like we should talk more 😃.

I match you with...

Hₑᄂₑ𝚗 ₒ𝚝ᵢ𝘴/ Bᄂₒₒ𝚍y Pₐᵢ𝚗𝚝ₑᵣ

(Not my art, unknown artist. Contact me with credit info!)

Helen gets the they/them pronouns. For the longest, the thought he was a weird girl. Then he had body dysphoria for a long time, and then he came to terms with his identity.

Helen is a Virgo to your Libra. Virgos admire Libra's clear mindedness and their drive for balance in all areas.

However, Virgos can have some trust issues. Just be there and patient with Helen. He'll get over those hurdles eventually.

Helen gets being an introvert, being one himself. He never had many friends growing up, his only close one being killed by bullies who then tried to blame it on him. Helen would be perfectly content if you two were the last people on Earth.

Helen loves how you look, like you're just 'classical' beautiful? He loves painting your eyes, trying to get that perfect mix of green and gold.

He recites Robert Frost to you because your eyes remind him of this poem:

"Nature's first green is gold/ Her hardest hue to hold/ Her early leaf's a-flower;/ but only so an hour./ Then leaf subsides to leaf/ So Eden sank to grief/ So dawn goes down to day/ Nothing gold can stay"- Robert Frost "Nothing Gold Can Stay"

Helen would enjoy painting your nails for you, maybe even painting little designs on them if you'd like

Helen would be so supportive in your fitness journey. He just doesn't want you to feel like you have to lose weight to please him or anyone else. He thinks you're perfect just how you are, just like he'd think you're perfect 50 pounds overweight or 50 pounds underweight.

Helen loves your stripes. Whenever you feel self conscious about them, he reminds you that the things that make a person attractive are groupings of flaws that work well with each other to make a beautiful face

He tells you how the Chinese fill in cracked china and pottery with molten gold because the cracks make the piece more beautiful since it has more character.

Helen would love to design tattoos for you

He thinks it's sweet that you're Mom Friend™, but he's not going to let you drive yourself into the ground taking care of everyone else. So, now, you can't lift a finger around Helen. He waits on you hand and foot

He'll help you learn to be more assertive and stand up for yourself and what you believe in. He'll help you set boundaries and limits and he'll help you enforce them. One of his more important lessons is that you have no room in your life for people who hurt you, use you, or make you miserable.

Anyone that hurts you will be subjected to The Wrath of Helen Otis™

I feel like Helen wasn't a huge outside person before meeting you.

But between pictures on your camera roll of you and your friends' adventures and just listening to the way you speak about the Great Outdoors? He's intrigued as hell now and goes on a nature walk with you on an easy forest mountain trail, nothing too challenging or taxing.

And suddenly he just understood everything you'd been talking about.

A special activity he likes to do just the two of you is this: you think of and describe to him a cryptid and he paints it following your description. Then he listens to any stories or folklore for that cryptid.

Its normally exactly the way you pictured it in your head (it's actually pretty uncanny).

Thinks it's cool that you're going to mortician's school. He's always been interested in medicine, but can't tolerate all the patients. But a mortician... They do medical things and have the quietest patient that are just so agreeable! What a genius career path (seriously, I'm on a wait list for an interview with the coroners office (Low turnover rates 😑)

Helen also likes playing in paint worn you (but I'm thinking that deserves a whole post of its own)

Helen also likes to paint while you write (sometimes he paints you writing about him painting). Its beautiful, really. Just two people who love each other enjoying their hobbies together in companionable silence 😍

Hello El!!

I bring my exchange info for an matchup. If say creepypasta/marblehornets matchup for this.

You know that I often get called a cryptid and at this point, I am just one. Cryptidcore, Midwest Gothic, and Pacific Northwest Gothic are my favorite aesthetics. I have a huge love for cryptozoology (the study of cryptids), parapsychology (the psychic phenomena and other paranormal claims), original creepypasta stories and to be honest anything like spooky and creepy. I want to be a mortician and I'm attending school for that. I also really love the dark, especially if I have some good music blasting through my earbuds. I am a sucker for long road trips and seeing things, filling the adventure heart I have. My favorite animals are coyotes and I also like horses. I like to write a lot as well. My favorite cryptids are The Beast of Bray Road, Not Deer, Jersey Devil and Jacklopes.

Thank you so much and I'm so glad I got a chance to reach out to you. It all started with me wanting to send memes to you and being a little 🌲 anon.

Also here is what the tattoo I'm am getting done looks like ↓↓↓

Your matchup is... Jeff!

Sorry this took me a hot minute, I've been out all day! But here's my part of the exchange :}

In general:

Alright, I read this over and just immediately thought about Jeff, mostly because of your personality!! I have so many things I want to get into and want to say though. SO, let's get right into that.

Things he likes about you:

Physically speaking, as that is how I always start, Jeff really, really loves your height and your legs make him fuzzy on the inside. He just loves it SO MUCH. Your hair is gorgeous, and he's never going to stop wanting to run his fingers through it. Whatever color it's dyed as becomes his new favorite, and he loves seeing your natural hair poke through as well. Your eyes are so gorgeous in his opinion and he finds himself getting lost in them. He thinks your nails being painted black is nice because honestly, he's prone to painting his nails black as well. He finds your body so great!! Wants to hold you and loves feeling new muscles when they get built up. Regardless, he just physically adores you. Your stretch marks are also something he adores as well, and he will fondly call them your tiger stripes and admire them in their entirety. He would love your piercings and the tattoo you want to get. Also really, really loves your choice in jewelry. Chokers are hot in his opinion lmfao. Ripped skinny jeans, flannels, black boots, converse!! just everything about your style works so well with him. And your personality!! That slight rebellious edge am slightly intimidating nature??? PLEASE

General cute stuff:

I feel like the two of you are going to spend some evenings in painting nails. Jeff is slightly touch starved and will absolutely run his hands over your body and just adore everything about you. I can also see Jeff working out with you as well!! He will be your number one supporter regardless of what you're going to be doing. He finds it so sweet that you take care of other people. Jeff also understands you being an introvert, because he's kind of the same way. He would absolutely would hang back with you and just exist. He likes observing as well. However, he also can be a bit of a chaotic guy and will go on adventures with you! Scary places, nature, wherever you want, Jeff will go with you. He'll also read up on fun little places and then go with you. He will absolutely get you green things just because he knows that you like that color. Jeff will also take you on walks in the woods, and he'll also let you wear his clothing!! Jeff actually smokes weed semi-regularly, so while you smoke herbal cigarettes, he's going to be lighting up alongside you as long as you're comfortable. He'd probably like the herbal cigarettes as well. Jeff would love to hear about your love of cryptozoology! He's met so many beings in his life that fit that that he'd just go buck wild being able to tell you about his stories and experiences as well. Parapsychology is also something he'd love to listen from you. He finds you going into the mortician business so incredible, and that you like the dark. Your music?? Please share that with him!!

You two as a couple:

Jeff knows that you are intimidating but so, so sweet. He finds you so admirable and honestly, he needs that kind of caring, loving influence in his life. He finds you being the mom friend of your group super fun and while he's not a dad friend, definitely loves saying things to remind all of your shared 'kids' to listen to you. He wants you to take care of yourself!! He wants you to be kind to yourself!! You being stubborn is something he understands because honestly he can be stubborn. Judgmental? He gets it but honestly might challenge the notion from time to time. He will remind you about boundaries and how important it is to set them. Time to time, he may step in just to help you out. He will also remind you to be assertive, mostly because he would hate to see anyone take advantage of you. Jeff will read up on C-PTSD, Bipolar II, and your anxiety simply so he can be more prepared to help you in any way he can. He deals with some things himself, but he doesn't always know how to handle others. So, he would definitely read up for you and end up becoming your rock when you need it. Honestly, just let him take care of you in his own way. Rough around the edges?? Absolutely. But he's so soft for you. He will help you in any way he can, whether it be weathering the bad days and loving the good ones. Let him adore you.

Closing Thoughts/Other Things:

Hi love bug, or as I will often fondly refer to you as, Dr. Cryptid! I was so happy to read all of this about you. Thank you so so much for sending this in and once again doing mine! I loved reading all about it, and I love talking with you. Thank you so much for that lil pine tree emoji and memes. Also, please take care of yourself!! There's only one of you in the universe and it's so important to love and cherish yourself. It's always okay to say no or know when to bail. Never take care of so many people that you leave all your energy with them and none for yourself. I look forward to our future convos and just friendship in general. As always, let me know what you think and I hope you enjoyed!

Lilac in Magic and Medicine

Spring tends to be a favorite time of year for a lot of people. You walk out the front door and the birds are chirping, the weather is nice and there are flowers everywhere! As a Garden/Green Witch, I love plants and finding out ways to use them. One of my favorite plants, even though they are only around for a short amount of time, are the Lilacs. We have several Lilacs on our property that were planted by my great grandparents that still bloom every year. Lilacs are edible, have some medicinal uses and of course, contain magical properties as well. Keep reading to learn more!

Lilacs in the Garden

Lilacs, or Syringa Vulgaris, are a short term blooming shrub. It’s most commonly found in Planting Zones 3-9 here in the U.S. Most lilacs only bloom for about 2-3 weeks; but early and late blooming varieties can be staggered to increase your bloom time to a total of 6 weeks. Lilacs are available in 5 colors ranging from white, to magenta, to the traditional lilac purple.

Lilacs grow on old wood, so pruning after the spring is vital. A hardy specimen, lilacs can be transplanted by cuttings very easily to add more to your garden. Our lilacs draw bees, birds and butterflies with it’s tantalizing scent so we always try to keep them blooming.

Did you know Lilacs are actually part of the olive family? Native to the Balkan Peninsula in Southeastern Europe; people emigrating from Europe brought the shrub with them to grow and preserve a piece of home. Western pioneers brought lilacs with them during the 1800’s. Now you can find lilacs that grow nearly wild in abandoned lots or parks. Lilacs prefer full sun and a slightly alkaline soil to grow and bloom. The wood is a sturdy type that can be hollowed out to make a variety of tools.

These shrubs are a beautiful plant and even though they have a very short season; their vibrant green grey leaves(which are heart shaped) and the clusters of fragrant flowers make it worth having. But a commonly asked question every Spring is; “What can I do with my lilacs in that short amount of time?” Turns out there are a couple of medical, edible and magical uses for lilacs. I’m going to touch on the edible and medical real quick. Then give you some ideas of how to use lilacs in your magic as well!

Lilacs as Food and Medicine.

One thing I’ve started to learn as a witch, herbalist and homesteader is that there’s a use for practically every plant! We harvest at least a dozen or more plants from our yard every Spring and Summer; not counting what we add to the gardens, harvest from the forest or buy online!

Starting out, I was surprised how many other uses most flowers can have, besides just being pretty to look at. Given the short bloom time for Lilacs, I never really thought about using them until this year. But it turns out that 2 weeks is plenty of time to gather and dry flowers for all sorts of projects!

Lilacs in the Apothecary Cabinet

Lilacs are astringent, aromatic and a bit bitter. While most of the medicinal uses stem(see what I did there, ha) from the leaves and fruit, the flowers still have their own uses. Ingesting raw flowers leaves a dry feeling on the tongue but are bursting with flavor.

The most common use of Lilacs is as an astringent. Many common weeds and plants are astringent, including but not limited to: sunflowers, black walnut, black raspberry and stag-horn sumac. Many people are already familiar with the commercially produced astringent known as witch hazel.

Lilac flowers can infused with witch hazel or a carrier oil. That can then be used for acne, fine lines and wrinkles and other anti-aging properties

Using lilacs as an aromatic is completely different. An aromatic works by causing irritation to the place where it is applied. (Think about how sensitive the GI tract is.) Which in turn brings more blood flow and thus promotes faster healing! Gastric issues such as excessive flatulence or constipation are normally remedied very quickly by eating just a few small flowers.

Infuse lilacs in your favourite carrier oils to make salves, soaps and lotions. Lilacs are good for sunburn relief or soothing scratches, light burns and itches. As well as the previously mentioned astringent properties.

Other Uses for Lilacs

As beautiful and lovely as lilacs are, the fragrance is a fleeting memory once spring is over. Unfortunately, there’s no way to preserve the fragrance in an essential oil. Like many florals, it would take a lot of flowers and would be very expensive. There are some ways to preserve the flavor and aroma through absolutes, enfleurage and infused oils. The Experimental Homesteader has a great tutorial and more info about making your own lilac essences.Find that Here

Most commonly, lilacs are used for garnishes and flavoring for foods and drink. From sugared flowers on cake to lilac ice-cream and lemonade; there’s a number of sweet treats you can make with these cute purple flowers.

Some of my Favourite Uses for Lilac include:

Tea

Lemonade

Infused Honey

Wine

Jelly

Ice cream

Syrup

There’s a ton of tutorials for each of these on Pinterest!

If you would like to try the lilac jelly recipe its super easy! Head over to our Forsythia Jelly Recipe but switch out the flowers for lilacs instead!( Find that here)

Lilac honey is super easy, just add the flowers to honey and let sit for 2-6 weeks.

Make a simple lilac syrup by simmering the flowers in a sugar water mix on the stove. Use that syrup to flavor your lemonade or top your favorite dessert(or pancakes!) Plus it’s a gorgeous light purple color so it makes for a great gift.

Lilacs in Magic: Green Witchcraft

Using Lilacs in magic has a slew of myths and stories behind it; as well as a few ways to use it in your own personal spells.

What’s in a Name?

Lilacs have a few names depending on the area and connections. In Arabic, “Lilak” means purple. In Greece, Lebanon and Cyrus, lilacs are referred to as “paschalia” due to the fact that they bloom around Easter. (Or as they call it “Pascha”.)

Actually, the scientific name for Lilacs(syringas vulgaris) is thought to be derived from the Greek word “Syrinx” which means pipes. This is due to the wood’s hollow nature. Which brings me to the next section of Lilacs in magic: the Greek origin story.

The Legend of Syrinx

According to Greek Legend, Syrinx was a dryad (also known as tree nymph) who was a follower of Artemis, goddess of nature and chastity. Pan, as god of the forest and ruled by an bestial nature and lust, sought after her beauty. As a follower of Artemis, Syrinx was sworn to chastity and denied him. He chased her to the nearby river where Syrinx sought help from her cousins, the naiads, or river nymphs. With their help, she transformed into a Lilac bush, also commonly called a pipe tree or reed tree. Pan, frustrated that Syrinx had slipped from his grasp; cut 7 branches from the gorgeous lilac tree and tied them together into what we know as pan pipes today.

The Pipes, combined with Pan’s mournful music over his lost pursuit, holds merit in the language of flowers.These purple petaled flowers symbolize lust, love, and the fleetingness of life in general.

Lilacs Magical Properties

Blooming Lilacs show up for a short period during the Spring, typically between Beltane and Litha. (May-June). Much like honeysuckle, dandelions and forsythia, lilac contains spring energy and helps to jump start your life. Use it to give yourself a motivational boost, a mental or physical spring cleaning. Or use as an energy charge for your job or a new business venture.

Lilacs are commonly used for spells involving: exorcisms, banishing negative energy, love and lust spells. As well as protection spells and spells symbolizing the balance between life and death.

Lilac for Protection

Plant lilacs around your property to protect those inside its boundaries. Planting lilacs by your front door keeps negative energy from entering your home.

Bringing cuttings into your home is supposed to help banish negative energy and spirits. Except for some superstitions in certain parts of the UK. It was felt that white lilacs were too close to death and were very unlucky.(Unless it was a 5 petaled white flower which were considered extra lucky.) Lilacs were commonly placed inside coffins to cover the smell of death, much like gladiolas and other “funeral flowers”.

Hanging lilac branches over a newborn’s crib was said to encourage them in growth of knowledge and wisdom.(Especially in Russia)

Lilacs for Love and Beauty

When used in love and lust spells, lilacs are best for short fleeting summer romances or flings. Adding lilac oil to your wrists and behind the ears helps to draw love your way. You can also use lilacs for a spell to bring the fun and light back into a relationship.

To combine the medicinal uses mentioned earlier as well as the magical uses; Lilacs infused in witch hazel for a facial toner can be used to promote beauty, glamour and attracting love.

Lilac Trivia

Lilacs are part of the Olive family. The Oleaceae or Olive family also includes olives(obviously), jasmine, forsythias and ash trees.

George Washington and Thomas Jefferson enjoyed the scent of Lilacs and planted them in their Gardens.

Vincent Van Gogh and Claude Monet were inspired by the colors and appearance of lilacs. They included the flowers in several paintings such as “Lilac Bush” (1889 Van Gogh), “Lilacs, Grey Weather”(1872 Monet) and “Lilacs in Sun”(1872 Monet).

In the Victorian Era, widows wore lilac blossoms on their lapel. This served as a reminder of their love and the shortness of life.

Lilac is considered the traditional flower for the 8th Anniversary. This means it is a suitable gift as well.

The Celtics regarded the lilac as “magical” due to their incredibly intoxicating fragrance.

In the United States, the lilac is the official state flower of New Hampshire. It represents the ‘hardy’ nature of its people

2 Weeks Later

Rune Master

Red haze from the smoke and flames clouded Rune's vision. Everything was hot to the touch. The air was stiffening from the dry wind and the ground was uncomfortably warm. There was electricity in his hair that left the fire user on the edge. His mind was going to burst into flames if someone didn't put out the fire! Dominator snarked it was all the meat he ate before being silenced by Ultimate's glares. His body was overheating, Blade kindly told him and forced him on the side while the rest of the party dealt with Rosso.

Pain struck Rune in the lower part of his abdomen, struggling to catch his breath as he dragged himself across the floor. He hugged his stomach and straightened his back in an attempt to sit up to avoid nausea. There was nothing to support his back except for the remaining tree trunk exposed by the winds. Rune poured water from his canteen over his face. The fire user shuddered from the cold water trickling down to the base of his neck. Rune tilted his head back again to chug down the rest of the water.

Dead plants and tangled weed curled up at his feet. Was Varnimyr always like this or was this caused by Rosso's presence? Varnimyr was the same as Rune had remembered. The only difference he noticed between the different Demon Realms was that this one didn't know about humans until their arrival.

They made it to the correct Demon Realm, or at least one that wasn't already occupied by another El Search Party. As they traveled up north in the Varnimyr region, Rune kept wondering if Knight and Immortal encountered the same challenges and problems as they had. The only thing Rune was sure of was that Rosso existed across their timelines.

Immortal wasn't kidding. Despite his size, Rosso hit like a brick wall. There was so much anger and sadness coming from the El Master of fire. Every burst of flame and swipe was followed by the half-demon's pained screams. What could have caused someone as powerful as an El Master to curse everything around him? If only Rune was spared enough time to look into the source of Rosso's pain…

Forcing an eye open, Rune looked up to be greeted by haze and dusty clouds. Rosso's fires have hindered his view of the stars that once dotted the eternal night sky. His friends' cries scattered in the distance as he laid himself to the floor. His fingers felt numb from clutching onto his sword until his knuckles were white.

Warm palms pressed over Rune's, applying pressure to his knuckles before letting them go. Covered in calluses, it was a wonder how those hands could pull a trigger, but those hands were also responsible for saving his life among many others in the past. Phantom sat beside Rune with one hand over his destroyer and his eyes staring into the thin winding tower where Rosso was.

"What are you thinking?" Phantom kept his voice low. His eyes darted to Rune's with care in his words, "You've been quiet."

"It took us two attempts to get to the right Demon Realm," Rune laughed without humor. "We still couldn't avoid fighting Rosso."

"I think there are some things that can't be prevented even with prior knowledge," Phantom said. "Rosso was already here before we arrived. I don't know what his goals are, but it's up to us to take him down."

"You won't kill him, will you?" Rune asked.

Rune briefly caught a glimpse of Rosso's figure before being forced to leave by his teammates. What could have pushed an El Master to cause such destruction? The El Search Party managed to reverse their previous enemies from mind control in the past, but Rosso was different. He was alive and aware of his condition. Rosso actively screamed at the El Search Party to leave, resorting to violence when his wish went ignored. There had to be a chance to save him from his poor fate.

"I won't hesitate if it means coming out of this alive," Phantom said. "There are people depending on me."

Those that didn't know him well would have taken his statement as being cold, but Rune understood. After nearly losing his kingdom to demons, Phantom had learned the harsh lesson of what it meant if one hesitated to fight back. Delaying their next action by the merest second could mean a premature death to them all. They have followed Immortal's advice to split the team into two to rotate whenever Rosso changed his battle strategies - if mindless thrashing and crushing buildings counted as such.

Rosso was not to be trifled with. Despite having control over fire, Rune had suffered burns from attempting to breach Rosso's tower. Rosso's flames were demonic, impatient, and demanding. His skin was still hot when he applied cold water to the nape of his neck and the rest of his body. They were already struggling to fight back when the half-demon was using a small portion of his abilities. Immortal warned him what would happen if they weren't prepared to give it their all.

Half of their team was out of commission from the fight outside of Rosso's tower. His sister was leading their remaining team inside to find the El Master. Rune was half-listening to the occasional messages sent between team members. He was thankful for Dominator making last-minute adjustments so they could communicate with each other over long distances. The messages were getting shorter.

"They'll be okay," Phantom noticed Rune looking back and forth between the Hamel protector and his communication. "Your job is to stay alive."

"Not making sure none of us do something stupid?" Rune chuckled.

"That's my job," Phantom broke out of his facade and smirked.

Rune's heart nearly leaped out of his chest to the sight of the blonde man's smile, unable to stop himself from grinning like an idiot. He distracted himself by examining the freshly cleaned bandages wrapped around his joints. Soaked in an herbal bath to alleviate burns, Rune was proud to say he was getting better at prioritizing himself first so he could attend to his teammates. He and Richter helped prepare the bandages while Oz and Dominator counted how many people needed elixirs. They were lucky that most of their injuries were minor. There should be enough resources for them to last for at least a week.

"You're still worried," Phantom studied Rune's face.

"I was," Rune admitted. "Rosso makes Perkisas look weak."

"Was?" Phantom made note of Rune's wording. "What else is there?"

"We're already fighting Rosso, so there's no turning back." Rune said, "We did everything we could to prepare for this moment. Even if we fail, I can at least say that we tried. I have you guys to help me."

"I think I can live with that answer." Their fingers brushed. Phantom brought his hands back to his lap and leaned his head back. "You're not afraid to die?"

"Nah," Rune laughed. "If I was, I never would have left Ruben considering how many times I almost died. Gotta sacrifice myself at least once a week, right?"

"Not funny," Phantom growled.

Phantom gave him a look as if wondering, "Really?". The blonde was going to drill holes into Rune if he kept glaring at him like that. A lopsided grin found its way onto Rune's facial features, giving his partner a shrug and cocking his head to one side to show he was joking. Rune knew it wasn't going to work, but man was he going to try.

"You know being an adventurer isn't the safest job," Rune said with a more serious expression. Maybe joking about his own death wasn't the best way to cope, especially around his friends. Old habits were hard to break. "That's why they make so much money. They do the jobs no one else wants to do. Not even soldiers want to do it."

"That doesn't mean I'm okay with you joking about your death," Phantom said.

"I know, sorry."

Rune hated how lame his response was, how hollow his words rang. He wished he could say more than that, but he couldn't take back his words. Even if he did, Rune still made light of people's feelings. How many times was he going to ignore how his words impacted others? He was supposed to stop keeping things to himself and rely on others more, yet struggled to be honest about himself without making self-deprecating jokes.

"Did Immortal tell you Rosso's weakness?" Phantom asked.

"I didn't get it when he told me, but now I can see that Rosso was not completely in control of himself," Rune said. That much was certain from his enragement, sometimes crying to an outside influence with no name. "When his shadow appeared, I saw him covering his left eye. Do you think that has to do with why he overpowered us?"

"He's also an El Master," Phantom added. "We struggled against Solace when we defied him. Did you think fighting Rosso would be easier?"

"No, but isn't it strange that Solace barely mentioned him when we saw the other El Masters?" Rune grew frustrated, "I'm sure he has a lot to worry about because of the El Lady and the state of the El, but isn't it important to wonder what happened to his friend?"

"Unless they don't get along," Dominator interjected into the conversation. With a potion in hand, the scientist had a smug expression, "Talking about others behind their backs? I can't believe I thought you were a good boy."

"I can," Oz deadpanned.

"Don't scare us like that!" Rune twisted his body to pout. Couldn't a guy get some privacy for once? He crossed his arms, "We're talking about battle strategies."

"Like your distrust for an El Master?" Dominator cackled.

"I'm getting tired of nobody telling me what's going on," Rune sighed.

"Solace probably didn't think it was something we should be concerned about," Oz reasoned. "We already have a lot on our plate as is. Don't you think he may have kept Rosso's existence away from us because he didn't want us to throw ourselves into danger again?"

"You mean this brat doing something dumb?" Dominator pointed to Rune.

"Don't pretend you don't do stupid things too," Phantom wasn't impressed. "What about that knife-wielding cleaning robot?"

"T-that's different!" Dominator protested and turned pink, "I was testing something!"

"Already done healing everyone?" Rune stiffened a laugh to Dominator's shock of being talked back by the quietest person on the team. Although they lacked in battle healers, their team compensated by having a handful of alchemists. Natural resources weren't lacking from the various plants and rocks they found on their ventures.

"Nothing a few doses of elixirs and rest can't fix." Dominator was relieved to change the subject. "Is Solace obligated to tell you everything going on in his head? I'm not sure if he knows about the fire midget being here if he was so eager to throw us here instead of coming himself."

Rune wasn't sure if Solace was as keen as Dominator claimed about sending them over to another dimension, but his words made the rune user wonder. Would Solace find a way to the Demon Realm if he knew that Rosso had imprisoned himself in a tower? If one of their teammates had disappeared, Rune wanted to believe he would have done something about it, but he wasn't so sure after meeting Solace. He and the El Master of the sun were both Rubenians, obligated by an invisible force to carry responsibilities over the El. Although Solace had deemed him as a worthy equal, Rune couldn't shake off the unwavering restlessness he felt around the older man. Solace was a reminder of what human desperation could do to a single person and those around them.

"Regardless of Solace's intentions, we need to calm down Rosso if we want to get any information out of him." Phantom said, "Someone with that kind of power would likely know something about the Dark El."

"I can't promise I won't kill the midget," Dominator mused.

"Are you trying to get us killed?" Oz forced the scientist to jerk his head down by pulling on his collar. She hissed, "Rosso may have lost his mind, but he can still hear us."

"Then there must be two of him," Dominator laughed. "Because I heard him screaming about Elesis while I was talking to the priest."

More fire? Who are you people?

Rune ran his hand over his temples, that voice again… Rosso? His voice sounded so young yet ancient, easily centuries older than Rune. The half-demon's voice echoed like a memory ingrained into his subconscious, refusing to let go and forced the leader of the El Search Party to look into the faces of his teammates. A darkened blade covered in gold scriptures, Flame brought her Claymore over her head to strike a giant demonic eye covered in thorns. Fire spun from her fingertips as she led five other people by her side.

A row of grey thorns was blocked from spawning above their heads by Ultimate, who had summoned a dozen spears at her disposal. With the help of a few demon allies, blue flames rose to form a firewall controlled by Timoria and Abysser. Fire splashed to the side as Blade made his way across to slash through the barriers protecting the demonic eye. Green wind swirled as Anemos spun around into a high-jump kick. Dozens of arrows flew from her nimble bow.

Blood shot out from the demonic eye in all directions. Its shrieks caused all to cover their ears. Seismic waves riveted over the floor as everyone dug their weapons into the ground for stability. Its thorns shriveled back into the eye's core before it stopped moving.

"Is everyone okay?" Flame checked on her teammates. "Careful, it's getting restless…"

"That eye must be a part of someone who could very well be within this tower," Ultimate stated. "Energy levels have elevated."

"I think we angered him," Timoria backed away from the flames. "I'm not sure if there's enough time to retreat for this one."

"We need to let the others know," Abysser clenched his teeth. "We're reaching our limits. Els-"

"Elsword!"

Rune opened his eyes to his name being screamed by his sister. He rushed over to meet Flame and the rest of their shabby team, clearly worn out from the last battle.

At the wake of the demonic eye's death, the earth had opened up. A fault emerged from the depths of the Demon Realm. The long narrow tower once protected by its prisoner had split open, engulfed by violent crimson flames. Once the flames had cleared, darkness cloaked a towering figure rising from the horizon.

GO AWAY!

Towering at a height that was easily comparable to Eltrion, the colossal figure was composed of a material that reminded Rune of black lava rock. Darkened wings made of the same material expanded outward for the monster to look down at the El Search Party. Red horns protruded from its forehead, matching its equally red eyes hinted with an unworldly hue of blue etched into its pupils and the rest of its body. This was Rosso?

"Is that our demon?" Devi grabbed her spear. Hunger replaced her once emotionless expression, bringing her spear pointed downward and lowering her body close to the ground. The older woman gave a dark chuckle, "I won't let it get away this time."

"Find shelter while we deal with Rosso!" Rune looked to Anemos and Abysser, "It's okay, I promise. We'll come out of this alive."

"You better," Abysser laughed. "Lu isn't too happy after he nearly took her eye out."

"Ciel and I will do our best to heal everyone in case you need to switch out," Anemos said. "Watch out for the eye. There's a lot of demonic energy coming from it."

"Not unless we blind him first," Dominator grinned.

"I can help him," Richter said with a serious expression.

"Spread out and watch your feet," Rune ordered his team. He couldn't believe the scientist could find the time to joke at a time like this. Richter too? Or maybe the priest thought Dominator meant it and agreed. "Don't rush into this battle. We only have six people active and can't afford to lose anyone."

Richter nodded. Light shone from his palms, grasping around the spears materializing in his hands. Raising one arm from the side, spears rained down from above and shattered into Rosso's left shoulder, sending the half-demon roaring in pain. Red flashed over the already reddened landscape. The priest dodged a laser blast from Rosso's eye and tumbled onto the floor.

High pitch cackling roared out of Rosso. The earth rolled as a pillar of thorns erupted from the floor. Long shadows extended beneath Oz's feet, followed by firing dark energy to propel herself into the air. Dominator and Oz moved towards the center of the battlefield, out of reach from Rosso's spiny attack. Multiple drones were set up at the base of Rosso's waist level to fire lasers around the half-demon. Orange orbs from Devi spun around in circles before consuming the rest of Rosso's remaining pillar of thorns.

"Look out!" Phantom shouted to him.

A pair of giant conal structures swung from the side. They were slow-moving, descending onto Rune and spinning counterclockwise with the intent to crush the leader of the El Search Party. The runes on his body glowed as he concentrated and released flames from his fingertips. Smoke filled his vicinity to create confusion for the towering half-demon. Rune slammed his greatsword against the dirt as a launchpad to distance himself from the strange structures that could move on their own, perhaps controlled by Rosso. He could muse about Rosso's abilities later when he wasn't running for his life.

Silver bullets flew from Rune's direction. There wasn't time for Rune to look and see Phantom sliding over with his arsenal of pistols and an oversized cannon he kept from his early teen years. The blonde wasn't taking any chances and had them fired at the eye visible on Rosso's face, red layered with unnatural bright blue rings around the pupil.

Rosso didn't like that. His arms extended from behind the cliff where the rest of his body was, clawing at their team of six and howling. The left eye glowed. Red and gray thorns erupted from the ground up, threatening to pierce into the toughest man-made armor.

Phantom cursed loudly over the chaotic fight. Blood gushed from beneath his armor, pushing forward and using the last few bullets to get in between Rosso's hardened shell. The way he limped over when he crawled to the side was one Rune was too familiar with. He had broken a few bones. The thorns were stopping him from bleeding out, but they would need to remove them eventually - if they made it out of this alive.

Rune felt his hands form into fists. This could not happen, he wasn't going to allow it! He gripped his blade, forcing himself to breathe through his mouth because of the overwhelming smoke from his own fires and from Rosso's. This was what happened when one fought fire with fire.

"Keep going!" Phantom hugged where the thorns dug into armor and into his skin, "I'll be back on my feet in no time!"

"Not in that condition," Rune glared. "You're going to Rena and the others."

"You can't defeat Rosso with only five people!" Phantom argued, "Our friends barely stunned him long enough before he found us!"

"Arguing in the middle of the fight?" Devi backflipped to land neatly on her feet and turned to wipe blood dripping down her forehead. "I can't believe you're purposely missing this opportunity to kill this demon to bicker amongst yourselves. You must think you can win this fight by idling around. Move!"

Both men silenced. Rune grabbed Phantom and tossed his weight over his shoulder, ignoring the definitely-not-taller man's protests as he and Devi ran together to avoid another line of lasers. Rosso's wings expanded as he brought his arms to the side to summon a sea of energy orbs. The orbs floated slowly like bubbles and surrounded the El Search Party. Rune stared at the orbs in awe.

Rune blinked. The orbs have disappeared. His blade clashed against Rosso's arm swinging towards him, bearing down his weight and struggling not to get pushed off the cliff. Rosso backed off when sparks flew from his hands and surprised the half-demon. Flames licked Rosso's arm and traveled to the rest of his body before disappearing. Just enough to buy him time to run to the opposite side of the battlefield.

"How many times do we need to bring down this brat to make him stop moving?" Dominator complained.

"As many times as needed," Richter said.

Metal clashed against the conal structures rising once more against Devi, who had her spear extended and her hair turned white. The wind howled as the spear user flipped her weapon so that its tip was facing the floor, bringing her feet up and jumping to the opposite side to avoid another row of thorns fired in her direction. Her girly laughter filled the silence as Devi summoned orange orbs to fire at Rosso.

A tiny figure fought beside Oz. Cladded in purple clothing to match with the dark mage, Angkor assisted Oz in opening a dimensional gate. Purple bats flew from the portal and dislocated the arm Rosso used to summon the thorns. Rosso cursed at the woman as his form began to darken and lowered his head. His eyes glowed and the battlefield shone brightly.

"Did we defeat him?" Rune asked.

Dominator frowned and looked to his screens for help before his eyes widened, "No, you idiot. He was just playing with us!"

A small body rose from the collapsed rubble. Red hair draped past the shoulders and hid the right side of the face. The body was covered in black markings and the arms were colored bright magenta, wielding a scythe over the head. Rune recognized the figure. It was the form Rosso held when they tried to break into the tower.

"Is everyone alright?" Rune checked his teammates.

There was no time to listen to a response as he turned around to duck a scythe aiming for his neck. Great, now he was going to truly lose his head as Dominator always complained. Rune held his arms up to concentrate fire into his hands and touched Rosso by the wrists. Unfortunately, Rosso was also made of fire and used the moment to raise more thorns at the red-head. Rune was pulled out from the rows of thorns summoned by the half-demon by Oz, who was quick to teleport to his side with Angkor following her.

"I should be asking if you can still run," Oz gasped. "Worry about yourself first, silly."

"Hard to when most of us are barely avoiding his attacks," Rune said. "One wrong move and we're dead."

"Only if we get hit," Richter said. "I'll bring Mr. Guardrian back to Rena. I will return as briskly as the El permits."

Rune was in awe of Richter's confidence, never letting the little things get to him. He needed to ask the priest how to do that. Once again, Rune pulled out his blade to fight. His flames were eager to show Rosso what real fire looked like. Rune weaved around his opponent, only taking a few steps to allow Rosso to slide to the side. His friends joined the macabre dance in their own rhythm, spinning new steps with their unique fighting styles.

Oz and Angkor relied on each other as a medium to summon familiars to aid them in the battle. Bats flew above their heads and struck Rosso from behind. Drones floated the area from Dominator's endless supplies of technology. Forming into a triangular formation, lasers flew into a straight line to disarm Rosso from his weapon. Devi's eyes glowed red in bloody prance, swinging her spear to the side in precise movement as an extension of the demon-loathing woman. Her attempt to cut into Rosso's stomach at the midline was only stopped by the reddened scythe armored in demonic energy.

"What a dangerous monster," Devi glared at the half-demon with disgust. "You sure you don't want to kill him, boy?"

"No, we can't do that." Rune gasped. "He was crying for help. Something is controlling him. Something is…"

Rune's voice was cut off by the sound of his own scream. His blood sang when Rosso's scythe sliced through his shoulder. Red blood dripped from his pores and he heard his name being called.

Fuck.

He had suffered many injuries in the past. Some were worse than others, so why did this one hurt the most? His brief stay in the Demon Realm had strengthened his endurance of demonic energy, but Rosso was too strong. Solace barely held a candle against what Rune had witnessed from the El Master of fire.

Was there an end to this battle? Rune grasped where he bled, fumbling through the limited cloth he had to stop himself from bleeding. If only they had a healer, he thought in blinding pain. No matter how many times he wanted to tell Rosso he was sorry for the pain, his own had made it difficult for him to see past the battle.

Phantom was already out of commission and had joined Anemos and the others shortly after he was hit by the thorns. Fighting Rosso was barely feasible with a team of six when his sister did it, but a team of four? What was going to happen to them?

Footsteps scattered all around him as Rosso swung his blade, blocked by Devi's swift blade. It was impressive how long the older woman could withstand ongoing battles with such vigor. Dominator ordered Dynamo to switch to a different install to fly higher to release a rain of laser grenades. Oz dropped her staff to pull Rune to the side.

"I can walk," Rune waved his hand away when Oz offered to help him up. "You go fight Rosso. I'll take care of myself."

"And let you bleed to death?" She scowled.

"There's only three of us left because Ain left with Chung," Rune argued. "You need to stay. Ain should be back by now."

Oz looked as if she was ready to argue back, but stopped. Glazing over the bombed battlefield with pain visible on her face, the black mage nodded, clearly unhappy about their predicament. Rune didn't like it either, but what else was there to do? Rosso had neatly cut into their defense like tissue paper.

A woman appeared within his eyesight. Rune wiped his eyes to make sure it wasn't an illusion by one of those demon plants. Ultimate? Cladded in black spandex covered in white plated armor, she bore a strong resemblance to Ultimate. When Rune was able to get a better look at the stranger, he noticed her face lacked the same depth of emotions as his teammate.

"There they are!" Immortal exclaimed.

The swordsman brought attention to himself by raising one of his many swords as a guiding beacon. Rune was too stunned to vocalize his shock about his counterpart appearing. He was greeted by Immortal's signature grin, pearly white teeth and dried lips. Richter was with him. The priest must have shown Immortal where they were, although it wasn't very hard with the lasers and thorns flying in their general direction.

Rune's gaze switched back to Ultimate's doppelganger. She must have been Eve from Immortal's dimension. Unlike her rowdy teammate, she kept to herself and was silent with Richter, who equally had nothing to say amongst the chattering party. The priest made eye contact with Rune and acknowledged the rune user with a curt nod. It looked like Richter was able to bring Phantom to safety with no complications.

Knight appeared in good health albeit his expression suggesting worn and wear from the long journey. He nodded tiredly to a person Rune didn't recognize. A petite girl whose height was only rivaled by Timoria's ("Hey!"), her pink wavy hair reminded him of cotton candy. Keeping up with cotton candy as inspiration, the rest of her attire was in various hues of pink and pastel blue. Rune noticed a large amount of energy coming from the mirror bobbing next to the girl's head as she talked loudly in the middle of a warzone.

"Sorry for being late," Richter apologized.

"We were kinda lost until Richter found us." Immortal laughed.

"Elsword lacks understanding in reading coordinates," Ultimate's look-alike stated.

"Shhhh, I'm trying to look cool in front of myself!" Immortal stage whispered.

"You mean Metamorphy isn't here?" Rune still couldn't believe they were here.

"She was, but said she had business to deal with." Immortal shrugged, "Magical girl duties, or whatever."

Rune didn't get it, but couldn't bother to ask. His mind was on his friends, who were fighting for their lives against a corrupted El Master. The sight of his counterparts and their friends should have brought ease to the tension in his shoulders, but Rune couldn't shake off the fear that they were too late. He looked to Richter for help.

"What are they doing here?" Oz looked at the new strangers with concern.

"We're here to help," Knight said. "Richter told us you were fighting Rosso. It sounds like he's been giving you guys as much trouble as he did for us."

"In all fairness, Rosso isn't a pushover, especially when angry." Immortal mused, "Funny guy with a hot and cold personality."

Rune frowned. Why was Immortal talking as if he personally had the half-demon over for tea and biscuits? Was this another one of Immortal's moments of undermining things that were worse than how he phrased it?

"Oh no, you're bleeding!" The pink-haired girl tugged Rune's arm. Her eyes watered and pointed to his bleeding shoulder. "Why are you hurt?"

"Who's the kid?" Rune looked at the girl with confusion. He would have remembered someone who dressed as strangely as the young girl if they had met before. "Are you recruiting kids now?"

"This is Laby." The girl talked. Her voice was as sweet as hard candy and had to look up to make eye contact with Rune, "Is this one of Elsword's friends?"

"Yes," Knight said with wariness. What was up with this guy? One would think he had lost a pet rabbit in a fire. Too soon? "We met when we were trapped in the Demon Realm. We came here because Laby wanted to meet you guys."

"How did you get here if Bringer isn't with you?" Rune noticed the brawler's absence.

"I think Add gave the machine to Elsword as an apology," Laby said.

"For what?" Immortal asked.

"Elsword needs to have his wounds attended to immediately," Richter interrupted. There was irritation in his tone after what he thought to be too much conversing. "That demon is still alive."

"Right," Oz looked at Knight and Immortal. "Think you can keep up with us? We need someone to create a diversion while Richter and I remove the weapon from Rosso."

"Of course," Immortal smirked. "Why didn't you say so?"

Oz rolled her eyes but smiled.

"Laby, can you help Rune with his injuries?" Knight asked.

"Of course!" Laby waved her arms out in excitement. She bounced onto her feet and pulled Rune to look at his sorry state.

"Thank you," Rune lowered his head to hide the tears. Their timing was impeccable when they were down to a few adventurers. He couldn't have imagined his next meeting with his counterparts to be at the edge of a one-sided battle. "Please help my friends."

Laby's healing was gentle and reminded him of Bluhen, who wasn't with Knight today. He thought the priest would have stayed close to the knight and noticed how tense his counterpart was when Bringer was mentioned. Did something happen between them? Rune shook his head, that was their business to deal with unless Knight was looking for a second opinion. But still…

"Don't forget we're your friends too," Knight smiled for the first time since his arrival. "You're welcome to join us after Laby helps you."

"Man, how come you get two healers?" Immortal whined, "Ow!"

Immortal rubbed his forehead where Knight had smacked him. Laby failed to stop herself giggling from the man's pain.

Greatsword pulled out, Knight had the imposing demeanor of a Velder soldier ready for battle. Nodding towards the direction of the battle, Knight gestured Immortal to follow him. The swordsman pulled out his two blades. Sleek in design and balanced, Immortal struck a pose as Sariel ordered her Nasod drones to fly into combat mode. Richter looked to Oz for the signal and the two ran into the battlefield to join their teammates.

The cathartic landscape of torn-down buildings and the ground set ablaze was enough to bring most men on their knees. However, as Rune witnessed Knight and Immortal pulling Rosso towards their blades, he saw the fire light up in their faces. The excitement of battle in fusion with fear of uncertainty. Sariel's drones weaved along with Dominator's as they roped Rosso into using his thorns opposite Devi as she harpooned her spear into the half-demon's flesh.

His strength was slowly returning when a strong wave of power flooded his vicinity. It was coming from Rosso. Even those not sensitive to the El could feel it. The corruption had taken over Rosso. Rune stood up, suddenly finding strength in his voice.

"I'm going," Rune said. "They need our help."

Laby looked up at him in confusion, but it must have been his tone that stopped her from protesting. After much arguing with the pink girl (Who would have thought someone so tiny could be so stubborn?), Rune had forced himself to be content on resting, at least until he could move his limbs without wincing. He could no longer ignore the crave to return to the fight.

It was as if all of the pain in his body had disappeared. Maybe it was the strange food Laby gave him to recover or maybe he was delirious from the adrenaline, but he couldn't let the fight go on without talking to Rosso one more time. Fire lit up in one hand and his sword in the other, Rune calmly stepped into the battlefield to face the Master of Fire. It was time to settle this once and for all.

----------------------------

Metamorphy

"Ugh, I hate snow." Metamorphy sighed.

What could be so important for the magical girl to be summoned to Pruinaum? Although it was barren in demons since most tried to avoid the cold, no amount of layers could get rid of the frigid wind finding its way through her clear pores. It was a good thing Metamorphy was the nicest and most patient person in the world, otherwise, she would have been very angry to meet up with the person who was so generous to invite her to the coldest place in Demon Realm.

Sitting at the edge on top of a tall glacial structure was a tiny figure. They were a single black dot to the naked eye. When Metamorphy teleported to the figure, she was greeted by a child. She made out a pair of cat ears sitting atop of the hood they wore and the chains dangling from the back of their jacket.

"How long are you going to pretend you're a kid?" Metamorphy asked.

"How long are you going to pretend you're nice?" Paradox snarked.

"Add, you requested this meeting." She said in her sweetest voice possible. "So this better be good."

She cracked her knuckles between the grip of her staff.

Paradox wasn't shivering only because of the cold, although she couldn't understand how the literal man-child wasn't freezing from how little he wore. Light flashed for the child to be replaced with a man in a body-tight suit. His hair reached past his shoulders and nearly touched the ground.

Metamorphy shrieked when a portal opened from the side and a frozen body tumbled out. Red hair sprawled out from the roots and over the unidentified person. Their hair was so long that Metamorphy was sure it could have gone past the ankles. A red Claymore laced in black stuck uncomfortably between their ribcage.

"Add, what is this?" Metamorphy gasped.

"A body," Paradox said as a matter-of-fact. "I found her under the ice. Aren't you going to thank me?"

"She's dead!"

"Her heart is still beating," Paradox corrected.

Metamorphy flipped the woman onto her back to press her ear against the Queen's chest. A faint heartbeat fluttered weakly like a dim light on a winter night. She kneeled down to frantically tend to Bloody Queen's wounds. They needed to pull out the Claymore to clean her cuts. Metamorphy looked to Paradox for help. It took more effort than it should have to pull out the weapon. It was tempting to toss out the weapon since it was rusting from excessive use, but she also didn't want to risk losing her head to a frostbitten woman. Time froze in place as Paradox unwound time to heal the deep cut.

"What are we supposed to do with her?" Metamorphy asked more to herself than the Paradox. The time traveler didn't make a good conversationalist most of the time and she struggled to understand the brat.

"Do you want her or not?" Paradox asked, "If not, I can throw her back to the demons."

"Like hell you are," Metamorphy growled and pressed one hand over her temple. "What do you want out of this? It's not like you did this because you felt like being nice."

"Don't you have some brats to pick up from their fun little fight?" Paradox asked.

How did he know?

"You never told me what's going on between you and Glave." Metamorphy said, "Why didn't you complain when he agreed to keep the timelines together? Are you planning to mess with time again?"

"That's for me to know and you to wonder," Paradox said. Cryptic as ever, typical. "Not everything I do involves destroying time and space, you know."

"You always seem to know where everyone is too," Metamorphy made note of how the time traveler always popped up whenever they were in trouble. Even more so, he often held important information they needed for any obstacle that got in their way. "Could it be that you actually car-"

"Mention me about having feelings for you losers and I'm going to throw up." Paradox interrupted.

"Of course," Metamorphy smirked. "Then you just happened to stumble onto Elesis's frozen body and asked me to come pick it up."

"Yes, and now you have a new problem." Paradox grinned.

Metamorphy could never understand the enigmatic man. Albeit childhood trauma from the short glimpses of Paradox's past, she didn't know much of the time traveler. Maybe it was for the best. There was no point in digging up painful memories when it didn't help them in the present.

She turned to thank the man but he had disappeared. Metamorphy groaned. Why did Paradox always do this to her? The magical girl was one hundred percent sure he lured her to do the dirty work so he could take his leave. Looking at Queen's still body, she tucked some of the hair behind the older woman's ear. It was going to take time to bring Queen back to the others before checking on Immortal. Metamorphy lifted the woman and sighed. Immortal was not going to be happy about this. Her sole hope was that Queen wasn't going to wake up and dart the other direction when reunited with her brother like the last time in Velder.

Happiness and Luck Spell Jar:

I made this spell jar as a gift for my youngest brother’s 18th birthday. He’s been having a really hard time so I wanted to try and send some positive energy his way.

Some of these ingredients are specific to his sun sign and can be changed up to suit someone else.

Ingredients:

A glass jar

Lavender sprig for calming

Basil for energy and positivity

Blue Sage for healing, protection and abundance.

Dried rose petals for love and prosperity.

Cinnamon Powder for speed (to the spell) an to represent Aries

Oregano for feminine energy, letting go, luck, protection and justice

Weed ash for calming, clarity and healing

Rose Quartz for love

Tree Agate for abundance, family and peace

Aquamarine for self expression, courage, compassion, love, communication and calming

Old nails for strength

A snail shell for growth

A penny for wealth

A black candle carved with runes for intentions

A sigil you have made with positive intent (optional)

Candle:

I carved runes onto the candle I sealed the spell with. I also carved and Aries symbol to help direct the energy to my brother.

I used the following runes (I work with Elder Futhark Runes):

ᚢ - Uruz, for strength, primal strength and overcoming obstacles

ᚨ - Fenu, for wealth, money and financial prosperity

ᚹ - Wunjo, for personal happiness and success

ᛞ - Dagas, for awakening, clean vision, awareness, light at the end of the tunnel and optimism

ᚲ - Kenaz, for guidance, innervoice, illumination and inner strength

Sigil: I used the intention “(my brothers name) will find happiness.”

I then broke the intention down by removing all the vowels, then all of the repeated letters so I was left with: “HRPWLFNDS” I then used these letters to create the shapes for the sigil, you don’t have to use them all, and you can use the lines from the shapes separately, I also like to add some different witchy elements.

Process:

First up, cleanse the jar. I used some incense and let the smoke fill the jar while centering myself.

Make sure you have all your ingredients laid out and ready.

Then I lit my candles for Persephone and Hekate while focusing on my intent. This is optional, especially if you don’t work with any deities.

Then I start adding ingredients to the jar while continuing to focus on my intent. It doesn’t matter what order you do this in, I add the smaller ingredients first, such as powdered herbs and stones before adding sprigs of herbs ect.

I then add the sigil, you could burn it and add the ash, or fold it, I chose to have it visible because I like what it added to the jar.

Now it’s time to seal the jar/ cast the spell. Place the jar in a large bowl or plate away from anything flammable, place the candle on top, and light it while focusing on your intent and the sigil to activate the spell. You will feel when it happens.

Let the candle burn down, allowing the wax to dry over the jar, sealing it.

Place it in your house where it will serve its intent or give it as a gift to someone you love.

Breathe In, Breathe Out (Whumptober 2020)

Why do I always get these prompts the day I come down with a cold?

Summary: A fight with a poltergeist nearly drowns a member of Team Free Will.

* * *

“Where's Cas?” Dean demanded as soon as Sam ducked behind the same counter where the older Winchester had taken shelter.

“Pool house,” Sam replied, jerking his head toward the back door of the old manor's hall. Ever since Castiel had become human, Dean had been treating him like he was somehow more fragile than the rest of them. Cas had always been able to take care of himself, with or without his powers. Sam was getting tired of it, he knew Cas was getting tired of it—even Jack had clued in that Dean was going a little overboard.

Dean was shaking his head as he reloaded the spare magazines for his shotgun. “Any luck finding the bones yet?”

“Nothing.” Sam blew out a sigh and let his head rest against the counter. Dean snapped his fingers urgently and Sam passed over his own empty magazine. “I mean, maybe you had a point earlier.”

“'Course I did,” Dean retorted. “I'm a friggin' genius.”

Sam rolled his eyes. “When you said she'd remodeled this place so much it was practically a part of her. I think the house counts as her remains.”

“Yeah?” Dean flipped the refilled magazine back to Sam. “What about it?”

“I think we need to torch the place.” The old manor was on the historic register, so he hated to do it...but kids kept exploring the old place and getting hurt, or even killed. They'd spent days going through every room, every item, and found nothing to point them to the remains of Emma Chandler, who had died nearly forty years ago. The house had been handed down to members of her family, who had used it as a vacation home until the poltergeist activity had gotten too dangerous and they'd abandoned it.

She wasn't too happy with them by now, and they'd been dodging poltergeist activity left and right. The house was too big for a purifying ritual, unless they could trap her spirit in one spot, and she'd been incredibly hard to pin down. They laid salt lines and she tossed furniture across them, burned sage and she kicked up a wind to blow it out. The only thing that stopped her for a moment were salt rounds, and even then the magazines for their shotguns only held five rounds at a time.

“Guess we need the flame thrower,” Dean quipped.

Sam had opened his mouth to answer (they could set a fire that would be deemed accidental and not have the police looking for them for once), when an ear-splitting scream rent the air around them. It was usually the sign that Emma had materialized nearby, but to Sam's horror the sound was coming from the beyond the back of the hall.

“Pool house,” he gasped, surging to his feet to sprint out the back door. The yard was overgrown with weeds and vines, but with Emma's focus in the pool house there wasn't anything to trip them up on the way. He heard a shotgun blast, a screech of fury, and something large and dark flew across one of the windows to crash against the wall inside.

“Cas!” Dean shouted, somehow moving even faster than Sam. He reached the door first and simply lowered his shoulders and charged through. Thank goodness there had been too much iron in the door for Emma to lock them out.

Cas was on the far side of the pool. The water was murky but still smelled strongly of chlorine, from the owner's failed attempts to “shock” the water a few months before, and the smell permeated the air of the pool house until it was almost unbreathable. The former angel struggled to his feet, shotgun held out before him, but Emma materialized just beside him to knock the shotgun out of his hand.

“No!” Dean yelled, bringing his own gun up to bear on her flickering form. She gave a screech and vanished, then Cas's body pitched forward as though dragged by invisible hands and plunged into the pool.

Dean swore and began sprinting around the edge of the pool to get to the side nearest Cas, while Sam tried to cover him with his shotgun. Emma could be anywhere, visible or not, and she was most dangerous when she could get between them.

“Cas!” Dean was leaning over the side of the pool, hand outstretched. “C'mon, I've got you.” Cas reached for him, floundering a little in his waterlogged clothes and shoes, but before Deana could grab his hand he disappeared under the surface of the water with a sharp cry.

While Dean searched for anything he could use to pull Castiel out, Sam aimed down at the water and fired two blasts into it. The impact from the salt rounds wouldn't be enough to hurt Cas, especially under water, but might be enough to disrupt Emma's spirit.

Sure enough, Cas rose to the surface, coughing and flailing. He reached for Dean again, but somehow Emma re-materialized enough to pull him back under.

“Okay. Fine!” Dean scrambled up to his knees and flipped his backpack off his shoulders. He still had almost a third of a bag of salt in there from when they'd been trying to isolate her in the house, and he unceremoniously dumped that into the pool.

Emma gave another wail and the surface of the water churned. This time when Cas surfaced, Dean managed to snag him by the sleeve and drag him bodily out of the pool. “Sammy!”

Sam was already running around the pool to join them. He dropped into a crouch, shotgun held at the ready, eyes scanning for any sign of Emma's reappearance. “We've gotta get out of here,” he commented.

“No shit,” Dean growled. “Cas, can you stand?”

The former angel was coughing and spluttering, like he'd gotten a lungful of the filthy water, but he shook his head and held his clenched fist out to Dean. “Wait,” he croaked. “I found...” he trailed off in a fit of coughing that had Sam wincing. Yeah, drowning was a lot nastier without a resident angel.

Dean let out a low whistle. Sam glanced down and saw that Cas was holding out an old-fashioned bracelet, the kind that looked like a twisted chain with a single clasp, which had a few strands of gray hair caught in it.

“Worth a shot,” Sam said when Dean looked up at him. He tightened the grip on his shotgun while Dean dug lighter fluid out of his backpack and Cas curled up with a moan on the ground behind him.

Emma appeared across the pool, screeching and snarling, and Sam took a potshot at her even though he knew she was too far away for the shot to be effective. She raised her hands into claws and charged, letting out another scream of rage, but dissipating into smoke halfway across the filthy water.

Dean rocked back on his heels, eyeing the little smoldering pile of melted metal. “Good job, Cas.”

Cas threw up.

* * *

“Pneumonia?”

Dr. Richards barely looked up from the chart as he nodded. “You said your friend fell in the pool at the house you were renting?”

Dean nodded. They'd really been too worried to concoct a story, once Cas had started complaining about his chest hurting. He couldn't stop coughing, not even long enough to take in a deep breath, and they'd hauled him to the ER despite his assurances that he could walk it off.

Who knew the angel would inherit the Winchester Stubbornness?

“It was a pretty dirty pool,” Sam said. “We weren't going to swim in it.”

The doctor nodded again. “That part doesn't really matter,” he explained, tucking the chart under his arm. “What we're looking for is the cause. If it happened in a pool, we could be looking at chemical irritation, like pneumonitis. We'll add a broad-spectrum antibiotic just in case, if the pool was in as bad disrepair as you say there could be anything swimming around in it.”

The nurse came out of Cas's room as the doctor finished. Sam thanked the doctor and followed his brother into the room, where Cas had finally been settled after a round of tests to determine the harm his dunking had caused.

Cas looked pale against the white sheets of the hospital, though there was a flush high in his cheeks from his fever. He was connected to a couple of monitors for his pulse and blood pressure, and the room was filled with the regular hiss of air from the oxygen mask strapped to Cas's face.

Dean made a dismayed sound but Sam laid a hand on his arm. “He's not ventilated,” he reminded his brother. “Just a precaution, right?”

The older Winchester managed to nod and pulled away, resting both hands on the railing at the side of Cas's bed. “We shouldn't have brought him,” he said over his shoulder. The words sounded callous, but Sam recognized the pain and vulnerability in his brother's voice. Whenever one of them got hurt, Dean took the blame for it on his own shoulders. It didn't matter that it could have been anyone in that pool house, just the fact that it happened was enough to fill Dean's heart with guilt.

“He found the bracelet,” Sam reminded him. “We would have had to burn the whole house down if it wasn't for him.”

“And he almost died,” Dean retorted. “Should've torched the place yesterday.”

Sam blew out a sigh and sat on the edge of the bed, arms folded across his chest. There was silence in the room, nothing but the hiss-hiss, hiss-hiss of the respirator for a few long minutes. “The doctor said he's going to be all right,” he finally said, leaning over to catch Dean's eyes. “We caught it in time, we got him here.”

Dean finally seemed to un-clench a little. “Still wish we could lock him up at home,” he muttered out through clenched teeth.

That made Sam smile. Dean always reacted like this when one of them got hurt, then he'd be the first one to pull them back out into the hunt. It was just how he showed he cared.

“Hey,” Dean slapped him on the arm. “He's waking up.”

Sam twisted so he could see Cas's face. Between the near drowning, the pneumonia, and the drugs the hospital was pumping into his system Cas had been in and out pretty much since he'd been checked in. Sam leaned up to take his hand—Cas's hands were always so cold when he was hurt, Sam had to wonder if Jimmy had had any circulation problems.

Dean was practically hovering, one rough hand on Cas's shoulder. “Cas?”

The former angel reacted to Dean's voice, turning his way and slowly opening his eyes. Sam couldn't quite make out Cas's mumbled question, but Dean huffed out a laugh.

“Still hospital. You tried to inhale half the pool, remember?”

Castiel groaned and closed his eyes, head falling back onto his pillow. Dean patted his shoulder, then spent a few seconds fussing around with the blankets to make sure Cas was tucked in as comfortably as possible. Sam dragged a chair over next to the bed, then stretched his long legs out to rest his feet next to Cas's. “Want me to put something on?” he asked softly, reaching for the remote.

Cas gave a slight shrug, so Sam flicked around on the channels until he found an old black-and-white movie playing. Cas was already dozing off, and despite his incessant mother-henning it was starting to look like Dean wouldn't be too far behind.

The job was done, and they were all (for the most part) in one peace.

All in all, they'd definitely had worse days.

Witches Moon - September 2018

☾ ⚝ ☾ ⚝ ☾ ⚝ ☾ ⚝ ☾ ⚝ ☾ ⚝ ☾ ⚝ ☾ ⚝ ☾ ⚝ ☾ ⚝ ☾ ⚝ ☾ ⚝ ☾ ⚝ ☾ ⚝ ☾ ⚝ ☾ ⚝ ☾ ⚝ ☾

The September Witches Moon is here! Equinox helped me open it this time--I think she knew it would be a good one. 🐾

This month’s theme is “Celestial Wisdom,” focused a lot on astrology and celestial bodies. It is absolutely wonderful! This has to be one of my favorites so far.

☾ ⚝ ☾ ⚝ ☾ ⚝ ☾ ⚝ ☾ ⚝ ☾ ⚝ ☾ ⚝ ☾ ⚝ ☾ ⚝ ☾ ⚝ ☾ ⚝ ☾ ⚝ ☾ ⚝ ☾ ⚝ ☾ ⚝ ☾ ⚝ ☾ ⚝ ☾

The paper, for anyone interested. It’s a cool-toned, bluish, turquoise sort of color.

Here are the smaller paper products. The sigil is a Zodiac Enhancement Sigil. It is meant to enhance the strength of your particular signs. I like that they included the elemental symbols in the corners as well. The whole thing feels very balanced. I don’t normally use sigils much, but I like this one and I want to put it somewhere important!

The reading is from Whispers of Love by Angela Hartfield & Josephine Wall. This deck seems very sweet, and I appreciate the one that I got! I’ve been on the fence about inviting a new friend to go to an event with me, and this card motivated my to go for it and just buy the tickets. I asked her and now she seems as excited as I am for it!

We got bonus art from Adrienne Alden this month, which already makes is a wonderful box! We have a holiday piece about Mabon, and then a more thematic one related to the zodiac. It’s so lovely! These will be beautiful in my grimoire.

They really had fun giving the herbs alternative names this month. We have “Herba John,” which is St. John’s Wort, and “Compass Weed,” which is Rosemary. The first one makes sense, but I didn’t know about that alternative name for Rosemary!

The last one, “The Astral Dance,” is a smoke blend, which can be burned in a cauldron or a burner for loose incense. It includes Mugwort, Sage, and Spearmint.

The Luna Sacred Salt is made with Chamomile essential oil, as well as Lavender and Chamomile herbs.It’s very soothing and gentle, and I think would work really well in a moon-themed milk bath. I might just try it!

It’s difficult to see in the photo, but the Starry Wisdom oil has sparkles in it! It’s so lovely, especially when you move it around and the glimmery little particles start floating and shifting in swirls and currents. This oil is very wonderful smelling, made with Cedarwood, Lavender, and Rosemary essential oils. It has bits of Mugwort and Leaf of Silver floating around in it, as well as the usualy piece of Lemurian Quartz.

The Seeker of Knowledge incense doesn’t have any listed ingredients, but it smells like night time and mountains. I don’t really know how else to explain it.

The candle this month is a lovely black one, rolled in glitter and Mugwort. It’s called he Elder Guides’ Enchanted Spell Candle. The essential oils in the candle are Spearmint, Eucalyptus, Rosemary, and Peppermint. Usually mints are quite overpowering, but I can barely smell them on this candle. Somehow, the Rosemary seems to the the strongest scent, with the Eucalyptus behind it and only a distant hint of the mints. It’s very earthy.

The chant is as follows:

Among the Moon The Stars The Sky Lies the secrets Hidden High

But as I stand With Flame in Hand The Stars shine bright As the wick does dance For as Above Lies the Eldest Guides And So Below I share these ties

I center my Eye On the Dark Abyss As the Wisdom twinkles I Manifest SO MOTE IT BE

Now we’re getting to the really cool stuff.

I’ve always wanted one of those big pretty Smokey Quartz points. I have a couple little clusters that I dug up on a mining trip, but I’ve never had a good sizable one. Now I do! I just adore this piece. It has a little flashy phantom right in the middle that sparkles rainbow when the light hits it right. It’s just gorgeous!

That funky little frame there is also incredibly awesome. It’s a sliver of Meteorite! This slice is part of the Campo del Cielo Iron Meterorite which hit earth about 4700 years ago, north of Buenos Aires, Argentina. I’m am so very glad that we have the origin of it--that makes it extra special! As a mineral collector, nowing the locality of my pieces is very important to me, and crystals included in these boxes usually don’t have them listed--like the Smokey Quartz here. But this one does, which is just wonderful. I’ve always wanted a piece of meteorite, and now I have one!

And last but so far from least--oracle cards! This is one of those things I never would have bought for myself, but now that I have it, I’m so happy I do! And perfectly enough, I think if I ever did buy oracle cards on my own, it probably would have been this deck or one like it. I adore astrological themes, night time, and things that sparkle. This deck is all of those!

The Witches Moon team hit it out of the park this month--the box is absolutely outstanding. Two pages from Adrienne Alden, a big beautiful Smokey Quartz point, a freaking meteorite, the oracle deck of my dreams! This has really been a wonderful treat!

Witchcraft and Casting Safety By Alexander Universe Introduction: Safety in witchcraft is a very important and often overlooked subject in the magical community! I can't even begin to count how many different kinds of ‘Fails’ I've read about/seen and personally experienced, everything ranging from burning the carpet on accident due to an unattended candle, to friendships and relationships failing due to baneful spiritual influence. The purpose of this document is to provide the reader with as much information on witchcraft safety as possible so we have less cautionary tales and more extraordinary ones to pass on to the community. When Working With Fire/Heat: Procure a Fire-Safe dish/container for yourself you may use for burning things in your Craft. Make sure nobody will be bothered by any potential fire damage/scorch marks if you're a Stealth witch. Never leave the room you're working in with a candle burning unattended. Make sure when you're burning paper or other flammable items, that the ashes are completely extinguished before disposing, especially if you're throwing them away in a trash can or tossing into the wind outside. Do not leave food, potions, oils or anything you're cooking unattended on top of the stove or an open flame. Turn everything off/put it out before leaving the vicinity. Not all Herbs are going to be good for you or your pets to burn and inhale, do a little research on the supplies you have that you intend on burning BEFOREHAND. Some plants produce toxic smoke to humans and animals when burned and ALL smoke is bad for your pets to inhale, especially cats, birds and reptiles as they have especially sensitive respiratory systems. Essential oils are toxic to cats and pets. Do not burn them around your animals. Incense smoke is tough on animals lungs, make sure you have plenty of ventilation before burning, especially if you have pets. Cats are allergic to weed smoke, particularly Cannabis Sativa. It can kill them. Don't smoke around your pets. Tobacco smoke, cigarettes, cigars, vape and ejuice liquids are all obviously toxic and dangerous for animals. Do not smoke around them and if you haven't started yourself, DON'T START. If you're working with a large amount of material that's being burned, such as a large sage or herb smoke cleansing bundle, make sure you have a way to tame any unwanted fire accidents that can come from escaping embers burning surrounding items and such. A fire extinguisher is obviously the best item to have on hand but it's also not as common of a household item as say a wet towel, a bowl/bucket of water, cat litter, sand, dirt. All of these items can be used to put out a fire. DO NOT use water to put out an oil or grease fire, use a fire extinguisher, sand, dirt or cat litter to put it out instead. The flaming grease/oil will float on top of the water you pour on it and it will create a larger fire rather than extinguishing it. When using a fire extinguisher, grasp the nozzle firmly and aim it at the BASE of the fire in order to most efficiently put it out. Remember that fire extinguishers usually have directions on how to use it on the item itself! When Working With Water/Liquid: If you intend on ingesting the water/liquid you've been working with, make sure all your ingredients are FOOD SAFE so you do not run into any health troubles by ingesting your creation. If you have containers of liquid such as moon/sun/eclipse water, check them frequently for mold! In the caps/corks and bottle/container are common areas for it to form. Throw away/clean anything that has any moldy areas. Do not ingest liquid that had mold in the container. Have towels on hand and other cleaning supplies while working with liquids to take care of spills. Wear gloves/protection when handling caustic, bio-hazardous or dangerous liquids, take care not to get any in your eyes. Water expands when frozen by approximately 9%, so take care to use sturdy containers when freezing water so as not to cause anything to break in the freezing process. Steam burns! Be careful when boiling water, use pot holders when applicable and use caution when opening lids. A teapot is a much safer and superior way to get the boiling water you need for a project over just boiling some in a pot and pouring it into a container/cup. Don't use plastic containers to store liquid you intend on ingesting/using on your skin, some plastics have chemicals such as BPA that leach into the water over time and can become harmful for you to consume. I highly recommend using glass containers. NEVER use essential oils without first diluting them with a carrier OIL not water. Essential oils have been known to cause very serious injuries reminiscent of chemical burns when applied directly to the skin. Water does NOT dilute this effect as oil and water do not mix well. When Working With The Weather/Elements: Stay inside during a Lightning storm, no rain/storm water is worth the risk of getting zapped, wait until the Lightning passes by before going outside. Cloud to ground lightning can strike at about 200,000 mph(300,000 kph) and a single bolt can reach a temperature of roughly 30,000 kelvins(53,540° Fahrenheit) where as the sun surface temperature is about 6,000 Kelvins (10,340° Fahrenheit). Fascinating, but incredibly dangerous. Hail can sting and cause serious damage if its big enough, wear a jacket/layers if you're going to be out in such weather! Hoods and other head protection wouldn't hurt, especially if it's thicker hail. Wear proper winter gear out in the snow and freezing temperatures. Frostbite is real and it is painful! Symptoms of Frostbite include pins and needles, reduced sensation of touch, skin burning sensation or a stinging sensation, blue skin from poor circulation or redness, blistering, feeling cold or waxy skin. Get inside a warm place if you have been outside for a while and are experiencing any of these symptoms! Heat stroke is a common ailment one may succumb to when out exploring in the sun, drink plenty of water, rest and keep as cool as you can. The Hallmark symptom of heatstroke is a core temperature over 104°F, but fainting may be the first sign. Other symptoms may include a throbbing headache, dizziness and light headaches, lack of sweating despite the heat, red, hot, and dry skin, muscle weakness or cramps, nausea and vomiting, rapid heartbeat (may be strong or weak), rapid shallow breathing, behavioral changes such as confusion, disorientation, or staggering, seizures and unconscious. Strong winds can and will wip/blow around debris, wear eye protection when venturing out in them to avoid damaging your vulnerable eyes. When Working With Energy/Magic Itself: Food=Mood. Eat and drink to replenish the energy you've spent after Casting or performing energy work. Get yourself on as regular of a sleep schedule as you can, not only does this help regulate one's emotions, but a good nights sleep *can* provide you with a refreshing amount of energy that can be the difference between a productive day and a not so productive one. Cleansing rituals should be performed on yourself fairly regularly to avoid any negative or foreign magical build up, once a week is a good place to start although many Casters recommend a more frequent cleanse to those especially who Practice regularly/daily. Self care is an important aspect of witchcraft, as emotions are magic in their own right, take time out of your schedule for your own needs/desires! Happiness and comfort makes for great Casting and energy work afterwards. When performing a spell with words, its ok if you mess up by accident while speaking, power through the rest of the spell so it can activate fully anyway. The words aren't as important as the intent is and not everyone has the gift of speaking fluently. With that in mind, spells can be ‘spoken’ in ones thoughts, especially if you're in a nonverbal state or simply have trouble speaking. Cleanse your magical tools, altar and other workspaces regularly to avoid magical cross contamination and unwanted astral attachments. When Engaged in Spirit Work: First and foremost, set up protective Wards around your home and place of Casting. These Wards can vary on the specifics from Caster to Caster but they *must* contain some sort of coding that keeps out/banishes entities and magics that would do you and your loved ones harm. Make sure you have a decent understanding about energy working before getting started in Spirit Work, while there are no real set requirements to practice any path, it can be considered common sense to need to be able to at least do one of the following in order to identify what you're working with; *seeing*, *hearing*, *feeling/sensing* energy. Things can get out of hand very quickly if you engage with something you can't combat let alone communicate with. Vet your Spirit Companion's! Before officially or formally contracting or developing a partnership with an entity, take some time to get to know the spirit in question. Is this spirit really who they say they are/appear to be? A good frame of time is about a month, although this time period varies from Caster to Caster. Learn how to banish spirits before you actually summon anything! A good rule of thumb is to always be respectful to spirits/entities/deities while interacting and working with them. Respect gets you lots of places. Trust your gut, if something seems *off* or not ok about another spirit, chances are you're better off avoiding them. Perform a Cleansing ritual after you're done with Spirit Working! It's important to remove any attachments from yourself and your workspace so nothing gets messed with or ruined by baneful entities or magics. Learn how to make your own personal ‘Auric Armor’, basically a ward that's on just you. This will help prevent possessions, influence, curses, astral leeches and other baneful spiritual problems that can happen in this line of work. When Working With Crystals/Minerals: Anytime you want to use a crystal in water to either cleanse it or create gem water, look up what it is and if it can get wet. Some crystals like Selenite can dissolve or be damaged if gotten wet. Some are even toxic! Salt can scratch the surface of stones that have a low score on the MOHs hardness scale, research the specifics of each stone you're using before putting it with salt. Do not ingest Malachite in anyway it is toxic! Malachite should ONLY be handled in polished form so as not to endanger yourself. Do not breathe in Malachite dust and do not handle it raw. Do not cleanse with salt as it will damage the surface of the stone and do not get wet/cleanse with water as water will dissolve it and the resulting liquid is also toxic. Malachite scores rather low on the MOHs Hardness scale so it requires a gentle touch and some TLC to keep from being damaged, as it is brittle. Raw Quartz dust can give you Silicosis when inhaled. Fluorite contains the dangerous mineral Fluorine, a water soluble mineral that can be absorbed in the lungs if ground into dust or burned in a coal-fired stove. Fluorine causes Skeletal Fluorosis, a painful disease that weakens bones and damages joints. Pyrite contains both Iron and Sulphur, Sulphur is toxic and the Iron allows it to rust If wet. Always make sure that the crystals you own are safe to use in the ways you want to use them in, research what you have beforehand online, cross check multiple websites when reviewing safety precautions. When Working With NSFW Practices: Weed and alcohol excluded, do NOT partake in the use of drugs with your Craft. Addiction is a serious disease and hard drugs have a very negative impact on your health. Do not drink alcohol if you're underage, it is bad for your developing bodies and brains. Adults need to be careful as well, excessive alcohol consumption can lead to many health problems including alcoholism, liver damage, damaged brain cells, stomach distress, heart damage, frequent diarrhea, blackouts and many other health concerns. Do not smoke Weed if you're underage, it is bad for your developing respiratory system and your brain. Weed has a few negative side effects that occasionally affect an individual during its use, and while these side effects are actually uncommon, it is only fair to list them: anxiety, paranoia, forgetfulness, movement difficulty, dry eyes and mouth, red eyes(common), cough, fast heartbeat, panic attacks, depersonalization/derealization, dizziness and psychosis (rare). Be mindful of your alcohol consumption, tally the amount of drinks you've had and pay attention to how your body feels while drinking. Do not drink and drive. Do not operate heavy machinery drunk or high. General rule of thumb for drinking alcohol is for every glass of wine/beer/shot or drink you have you should have 2 glasses of water to prevent hangovers. If it's your first time drinking alcohol or smoking weed, do it with a trusted friend to watch over you to prevent excess consumption. Wait an entire hour before eating that second weed edible. Trust me. Take small controlled hits the first time you smoke weed, less is more and it may hit you fast so use caution. Take small controlled hits the first time you smoke an herbal blend, less is more and it may hit you fast so use caution. If sex with another individual(s) is a part of your Craft, use condoms and practice safe sex with your partner(s). Make sure any crystals/toys you may have used were cleaned thoroughly before and after usage, especially if they went inside of you/someone. Make sure you practice self care after sex and wash up your body thoroughly as well. When Working With Blood: Make sure the tool(s) you use to draw blood are clean and sanitary beforehand. Make sure the area that blood is being drawn from is clean. Do not share needles. Clean and sanitize your workspace and tools physically and magically after working with blood. Practice self care after your ritual, clean and dress all wounds properly. Get a hold of a first aid kit, if you can't then make one. It should contain at the very least Band-Aids, an antibiotic ointment such as neosporin and a clean washcloth or tissues.

Herbalism

FOREWARNING: SOME PLANTS ARE POISONOUS AND NOT SAFE FOR INGESTION OF ANY FORM. IF YOU ARE UNSURE IF ITS SAFE FOR CONSUMPTION, DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE CONSUME. ALL KNOWN UNSAFE FOR CONSUMPTION HERBS IN HE LIST WILL BE MARKED WITH ***.

Herbs have enormous magical power, as they hold the earth’s energy within them. Each herb has unique properties that can enhance one’s magical goals. Herbs also may have medicinal properties. The magical practitioner can draw upon either aspect when performing a spell.

The most common ways herbs are used in magic are:

Charms and sachets - Fill a small bag with herbs to make a charm or sachet. You can carry the charm with you, hang it in the house or car, or bury or burn it, depending on the purpose, and the spell you are performing. Incense- Herbs can be burned as a ritual incense, such as the sage smudge used to clear negative vibrations from a space. Bath - Make a sachet or bath bomb and place it in your ritual or healing bath. Fragrant herbs like lavender make a very relaxing bath, and you can use certain herbs to alleviate skin and other conditions, such as using eucalyptus in a bath when you have a cold or flu. Oils - Place herbs in an oil, let them steep for a few days, then strain. You can make annointing oils for you ritual work, beauty oils for your hair, skin and nails (try coconut or jojoba), or flavor oils for cooking and seasoning, such as steeping rosemary in olive oil. Teas- Use herbs to make teas for healing illness. Some herbs can be used to mildly alter consciousness. Many herbal teas have health benefits and can help treat minor ailments.

Smoking- You can make herbal smoking mixtures which will also facilitate altered states of consciousness. In spellwork, herbs can be sprinkled or placed around or within boundaries (such as your home, altar, or magic circle) to define a “territory” for your magic to work. Of course, you can always use flavorful herbs in cooking and seasoning your food. There are many healthful benefits, and they taste great! Always give all plant life respect, where ever you are- remember, the word “weed” is simply a value judgement! Dandelion, for instance, has many, many healing and nutritional qualities which are extremely beneficial not only to the wildlife which feeds on it, but to you, too! Learn to recognize the herbs around you- even in a city, there are many wonderful herbs growing wild, which you can gather and use.

Harvest herbs in the morning after the sun has dried the dew but before the heat of the day sets in. Use a sharp magical knife (a bolline) to cut herbs; the knife should be consecrated specifically for this purpose. Thank the plant for its gift, and offer it something in return, perhaps some water, organic fertilizer or mulch. Harvest only the amount of herbs needed, except when pruning the plants, to ensure healthy growth for the following season. The most prevalent ingredients of magic spells are processed botanicals, especially dried plants, herbs and oils. Drying plants preserves them for extended use, allowing you to work with plants out of season and with those that are cannot be grown in your region. Dried botanical frequently are sold already chopped, cut or powdered. As these actions usually need to be done before spell casting, purchasing botanical that are ready to be used can save time and effort. There is nothing wrong with buying your herbs. Leaves and blossoms, even chopped often retain their characteristics, such as aroma, and so are easily distinguishable. You are unlikely to confuse rose with peppermint or hibiscus!

If you grow plants or have access to fresh ones, it is quite easy to dry them yourself. Hang botanical upside down in small bunches. Don’t overcrowd them - you want air to circulate. Allow the botanical to hang in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight until dry.

Herbs & Magical Properties Always check before you use any herb because some herbs can stop conventional medicines working. Herbs can heal and help with spell work, but herbs can also kill. BE CAREFUL AND ALWAYS CHECK FIRST! ALL KNOWN UNSAFE FOR CONSUMPTION HERBS IN HE LIST WILL BE MARKED WITH ***.

How To Use A Pendulum/Trance-Channeling 101

You are developing a psychic connection with your Twin Flame in spirit. The way I go about this is sort of like using a Oujia Board. I know what you must be thinking. Calm your tits!

First off if you want to use this method to talk to your guides/twin flame, you need protection! It doesn't have to be elaborate or require bells and whistles. I laugh at some of the "rituals" *smh* all kinds of crazy shit... So not necessary but power to the people. 😆

You can protect yourself by smudging sage in every corner or wave that shit around (don't cause a fire though. I almost did! Lol) in every room of the house or space. Say silently or aloud a prayer for protection. You can burn some hundu kush too (Seriously. Smoke some weed. Mother earth produced it! ). I suggest calling upon Archangels Michael and Raphael to ensure only communication with your TF/Guides. Set the intention. The stuff here in bullets is extra. If it makes you feel better you can add this shit too:

- After that it's also important to imagine a white light surrounding you or even green and blue for Archangels Michael and Raphael. You can also wear white.

- What I like to do is play music off our playlist or anything positive. There's a lot of meditation music on YouTube.

- Take a few moments to calm and collect yourself. Make sure you are comfortable and for certain you will have no interruptions.

(*˘︶˘*).｡.:*♡ A Crystal clear suggestion

Before you decide to communicate I suggest a crystal (because they come directly from the earth) pendulum that is charged and cleared of negative energy. Doesn't have to be elaborate but some crystals might not do well in sea salt water. Make sure its okay. Mine are amythest, rose quartz and clear quarts. I let them sit in natural sea salt water. Himalayan salt might work too, not sure about commercial table salt. Just by letting it sit for a few minutes (5), I really notice a change in clarity of the crystal. You can also collect some used or crushed up smudging sage and toss your crystal in a bowl allowing to sit overnight over night or whatever. You can also burn sage in a safe bowl and allow the crystal to bathe in the smoke a bit. Another way is by digging a hole and let it sit in the earth for about a day. Maybe close to a flower garden!

Making your "board"

ヽ(・∀・)ﾉ

You also need to make a Oujia Board! It doesn't have to elaborate either. I use sketch paper (if you don't laminate, it will eventually look raggy and you need to shred it, burn it and set the intention that the portal is permanently destroyed). I like to pour positive energy on to it, use Chakra colors, and as an "artist" I like to draw the flower of life and color it all pretty and stuff. It's not a bad idea to write a few prayers on it too. I suggest laminating it so it stays pretty. I'll attach an example.

( - _ - )ﾉ彡☆ EXTREMELY IMPORTANT: As a word of caution, after all you are opening a portal to the spirit world; Your board needs to be cleared too! At the end of every session say good-byes, your thanks and your prayers for continued protection with the intent of closing the portal.

( ^O ^ )ﾉ彡☆ The more you know!

Getting shit started yall

☆*:.｡.o(≧▽≦)o.｡.:*☆

At first, it might be a little slow or not move at all. Don't give up. Just keep trying a little bit everyday. Try not to force a response or you might just pick up wishful thinking answers. Be present! Don't let your mind wander. Focus on just looking at the crystal. Eventually you will go into trance. Trance is nothing to be afraid of. It's no different than automatic writing or watching T.V. It's actually very similar. You have complete awareness and control of yourself. Keep a pen and paper close to you. When the crystal moves to the letter or you feel a slight pull (really cool actually), hover over that letter and if a letter is correct it will circle. Incorrect, it's will cross through. For yes and no questions, YES is up and down the middle as if he's nodding and circles around the entire thing when a NO. It may differ from person to person. When Erik gets excited the letter just pop, when he's sad or sappy, it's very slow. Hopefully you won't have a TF/Guide with the tendency to get all "ADD". I have to ask him the slow down all the time.

At first you might not know right away if the messages are coming from your own expectations or honest guidance from your guides. Eventually if you practice long enough (Takes time and dedication, but if you really want to talk to your guides you will do it. Trust me.) you can tell by word choice or the energy you feel. Whats cool is sometimes I think I know what Erik is going to say but he tugs to the right word or letter. I've played tug of War with him too. It was hilarious!

Document, document, document!

You are going to be tempted to ask a shit load of questions. Just write them down and ask one a day. You might also be surprised they might just flat out answer them right away.

Keep a log or journal of your conversation. You will wish you did! You will see a progress and it's nice to take a look back ever so often. Especially if you are talking to your TF/Guides you will start to realise you are developing psychic skills. It's baby steps. It didn't happen over night for me. It's at a point now I can finish sentences and he let's me know if I'm correct or he will simply set me straight.

I hope in some ways this is helpful. It really doesn't need to take a "gifted psychic" to talk to your TF/Guides. After all... WE ALL ARE CAPABLE! It's a matter of intention and will.

If you have anything you want to add or whatever comment or inbox me!

( ◡‿◡ ♡) Thanks for reading!

Witch Tips!

"Do your enemies have gardens? Landscaping? Throw weeds onto their property. Just be sure you’re not introducing any new invasive plants to your area. Nature gives us many potent and hilarious weapons, so don’t go biting the hand that gives you ammunition."

"Make your own blessing candles by warming white tea lights and sprinkling in your chosen herbs. Let the wax solidify and use them for your rituals."

"Make herb infused vinegar to give your spells (especially curses, jinxes, and hexes) an extra magickal kick."

"... Metal tea strainer just like the one above. Put just a pinch of herbs inside. Hold the mesh over a candle for several moments. You will be able to see the herbs begin to burn. If you just need a little smoke, they will smoke immediately and go out quickly when removed from the flame..."

"My website includes an article on the various herbs you can use INSTEAD of White Sage for smoke-cleansing. Also, if you’re dead set on using White Sage, you can buy some seeds and grow your own. Have fun!"

"Just came across this cool site that has over 100 different vintage inspired botanical illustrations for use with common & botanical names for your herbal grimoires!"

"Reading correspondence lists is a great way to get a general idea of what types of energies herbs/crystals can have within them, but keep in mind that your spells work on your own intuition and your own energy. Some correspondences will click with you and some won’t. Don’t try to force yourself into someone else’s mold..."

"Reuse your salsa or queso jars to store your herbs. I used a queso jar to store my mugwort lol! And if you don’t like the lid of your jar (like me) you can always paint over it and even paint what herb you store in it on top!"

"... So I was wondering if I could take the herbs out of tea bags to keep? ..." "... Yes! ..."

"... Store herbs in breathable bags and keep them in a cool, dark, and dry place. Herbs inside of jars will only be good for a maximum of a month, depending on the herb. Some will develop mold after only a few days, depending on climate."

"When you’re sprinkling herbs on thresholds/mats/doorways/windowsills or floors please, please be wary and careful of pets and animals! If a herb is poisonous to us when inhaled or ingested it is likely poisonous to cats/dogs/birds/rodents and many other forms of wildlife!"

"Witch Tip: Use an oil diffuser, instead of charcoal, for resins and other herb mixes. Slow melting and gentler on the eyes and nose. This would probably be useful for closet witches too." + A recipe.

"You know those dryer sheets you sometimes find in your clothes as you fold laundry? You can use those to make sachets! Simply add your herbs to the center, and tie up all of the corners! Or, you could sew a little square full of herbs. Either way, it’s a cheap and upcycle-y thing to do!"
