Witch Tip: 🛑 Stop Performing Love Spells On Abusive People! 🛑
Seriously, please, I’m begging you. Do not perform love spells on your partner who is abusive to you. Perform a cord cutting and get the hell out of there!
It WILL NOT have whatever desired effect you’re trying to go for. It WILL NOT make them treat you right. It WILL NOT make them stop abusing you.
PLEASE protect yourselves. PLEASE leave abusive people. Performing love spells on these people will make your life WORSE. Please.

Basic safety/responsibility tips for new witches ✨
-Always maintain adequate ventilation & precautions for anything burning: candles, incense, cooking, etc. Do not leave flames unattended.
-Make sure your herbs/aromatics are pet AND human safe. Check for allergies & read up on ASPCA guidelines.
-Read up on cultural appropriation in witchcraft. Smudging, hoodoo & voodoo, Kabbalah, etc are closed culture. Respect practices that aren’t yours to take.
-Pseudoscience is not magic. Magic is about empowerment, not coercion. Crystals will not heal your anxiety any more than a good book. Cure-alls don’t exist, and anyone selling them is a scammer, not your friend.
-Wicca is Not the only option for witchcraft, & was designed to be inherently transphobic, racist and antisemitic. Try to explore other witchy communities to see what feels best for you.
-You will make mistakes. That is okay. Be willing to learn and ready to accept the consequences.

Tarot to find Lost Things
This is a basic dumb idea that I didn't see around a lot: Use the Tarot to find lost objects.
Tumblr media
You know, when you are not sure if an object is even in your house, why don't use Tarot?
I personally use my own Oracle but the basic Major Arcana should work fine, still I find important that the cards have a good amount of images, since what you will use to find the object, is based in the images that you see, not in the meaning of the card itself. For this, very minimalist decks, or basic playing cards may not be useful enough.
So, let's say that you are an unmedicated AHDH as me, so you need to find things because your brain just can't cope with basic order. You sits and start to ask. Where is the Thing? Is in this house, outiside, in a specific room? Then the spread can help you.
Usually I find a basic 5 cards spread useful in this case, but is mostly because I use an Oracle. If your deck have tons of images, maybe 5 are too much... Too much info can lead to contradict itself or turn confusing, so start with a basic 3 cards and see if you have to add more. If your deck have little amount of images, it can need 5 cards or more.
Cards where the "ambient" is outisde, probably mean "not in your house/ in other house or lost in the street" (The Fool, The World, The Wheel of the Fortune).
Cards with columns and chairs can mention a "inside the house" (The High Priestess, The Justice, The Hieropanth).
Some cards can point where in reference to other objects. The Magician have stuffs over the table, it can point things over a table or furniture.
You have pets? Maybe is close your pet, and for that, cards with animals can give a hint (The Strenght, The Chariot).
The cards with suns can hint that is "at sight" (The Sun).
Cards with moons and stars can point the Bedroom (The Moon, The Star).
Card with little light? Inside a closet! It have water? Maybe in the bathroom! Have plants? The garden! Chairs? Check close a chair or the kitchen! Fruits? Maybe close the fridge! Have clothes? Maybe on your bed!
What's matter, is that you focus in the objects that you see, and specially based on YOUR DECK. Since not all the decks are the same, it can have a lot of variations that you need to consider. Example, The Hermit have a light in his hand, which can point to be close a lamp, but if your card is an Hermit Crab, of course it will not mean the same. Be smart, be creative.

Hey witchlings I've got a tip.
Y'all should seriously experiment more.
Like as long as you understand things like why you're doing an action, the risk, or for example how to undo a spell, try new things. I'm begging you. My practice is built from scratch upon finding inspiration and then experimenting. You can do stuff you've never even seen in a book or online. No one is stopping you!

Re: Familiars
I try to not let it bother me when people wrongly call their pets or even other people’s pets, their familiar. But it does!
I think part of the reason it bothers me so much, is because I’ve seen countless times, the consequences of doing so. No one seems to do an ounce of research before endangering their supposedly beloved pet(s).
I understand that people have this need for them or their pets to be “special”. But I’m not sure if putting your pet (or someone else’s) in harms way is exactly the best way of having a special and unique bond. You can have a magical pet who you share a very strong bond with WITHOUT throwing them into harms way.
Familiars aren’t just “a witch’s pet”. They’re spirits that have either been specifically summoned or happen to appear when needed. Emphasis on spirits! There are a lot of things that a familiar is suppose to do, kind of by default. SOME of those things include things like accompanying the witch through the astral when astral traveling (and other hedge crossing related activities), venturing off and gathering information for the witch (whether this be in our realm or others), and the biggest one here folks: a familiar will die in order to protect the witch, be it from a powerful curse or something else.
I just think it’s wrong to force your pet or someone else’s pet into that kind of role. I know a lot of people agree with me on that. I just wish witches would do some research before ignorantly throwing a living animal into such a dangerous role like familiar, especially since they can’t and aren’t even agreeing to be in such a role. They can’t even begin to comprehend that.
TL;DR: most of the time wrongly labeling things as magical in some way is harmless. Familiars is an exception. It’s dangerous and wrong to call and force a living animal “familiar” because that word has meaning, a purpose. It puts the tasks of a familiar on that animal whether you mean for it to or not, and that can and does lead to dead or missing pets. If you want you and your pets bond to be special, it can be! You don’t have to put them in danger by calling them a familiar! Your pet or someone else’s pet really can’t even agree to be in such a role, they can’t even begin to comprehend it let alone agree to it.

Witches & Witchcraft: Types & Definitions
There is an abundance of types of witches, some being more common than others, for example, death witch or hedge witch. I have provided the different types of witches with a brief description/definition of what they study, believe and tools most commonly used for each.
The types of witchcraft is entirely up to the individual which they prefer to do. One person may only follow on type of magick whereas another may follow several. Listed are a handful of the many kinds, but I'm listing the most common/known types of magick/witchcraft that people fall into.
I have grouped some witches together as they fit together under the same or similar definitions.
Tumblr media
Types of Witches
Religious witches;
Christian, Satanic (Theistic), Laveyan Satanic, Hellenic, Celtic and Wiccan, etc. are witches that follow a primary belief system and incorporate their religion into the craft.
Non-Religious witches;
Secular - doesn't work with [a] deity(ies).
Science - (also a craft type), uses metaphysical and scientific fads and theories mixed together.
Other types of witches;
Solitary - works alone and is not part of a coven. Won't typically work with other witches for spell work or any part of their practice.
Eclectic - a practice that includes multiple practises from different areas. A mixture of all practices, may practise one more than another, or all equally.
Hereditary/Generational - a witch who is born into a family whom practice the craft. The term 'Blood witch' is often a hot topic of controversy as to whether it makes one a more powerful witch.
Traditional - a type that is based on honouring the traditional ways of magick, which also ties in nicely with generational/hereditary witches.
Chaotic/Chaos - a witch who utilizes new, non-traditional and unorthodox methods. It's still relatively new and highly individualistic practice while still drawing from common forms of magick.
Tumblr media

Witch Tips: Where Lunar Magic is Involved - the TIME of the Lunation Matters
The reason that it's worth paying attention to astrology if you practice moon magic is simple:
The full moon was LAST NIGHT. (technically *today* for many places but in the very early morning hours - sixteen hours ago at the time of this writing).
The full moon is a point of exactitude that happens at a specific time when the sun and the moon are directly opposed to one another in the sky.
Can you do full moon magic on either side (the night before or after the full moon)?
Yes, absolutely. Will it have the same power as the night of the lunar event? Nope.
If you're looking to truly harness the energy of the lunation, +/- 5 hours of the point of exactitude will help you a lot. (even if it is during the day - the Sun is equally involved in full and new moons) Technically, tonight is the Waning Full Moon. Still powerful for removal magic, but less powerful for magics associated with the waxing phase.
TL/DR: the time of the full moon (or new moon) matters, folks.
