Happy Pride ♥️🌈

Here's a short excerpt from The Warmest Winter short story -

Graves was walking around and inspecting the room when she came upon Cotton Swab. “Is this your rat?” she asked, eyes wide. “Yeah, I don’t have access to real monstruos yet, but I will! Cotton Swab is nice—are you afraid of—” But Graves had already picked the fluffy white rat up and was smooshing him tenderly against her face. Cotton Swab closed his eyes happily. The only thing he loved more than cuddles was cheese. “He’s gonna get in your rucksack and go home with you if you keep that up.” Graves put Cotton Swab back in his box, lined with a little rat-sized blanket and pillows. “I wouldn’t mind! I love rats. Buuuut are we gonna handle actual monstruos too?” Valley bit her lip. “Seven was supposed to bring one of her raccoons. I’m not sure when she’ll get here though.” “I see.” Graves nodded, circling a chair then plopping herself into it. “Well, Prof, teach me about monstruo hunting!” Prof? Valley blushed. That’s what witches called their favorite professors, like a nickname because it was cooler and cuter than professor. She wasn’t sure why, but it made her stomach flutter with a hundred moths for Graves to call her that.

Magic to find a lost item!

I've seen tidbits like these circling Tumblr but I thought I'd make a post describing specifics.

Ingredients needed: Pin/needle/anything of that nature, and somewhere you can safely stick that item such as a pincushion.

What you do: Stick the sharp object into the pincushion with the intention of "pinning down" that item for you to find.

Optional: You can add oils to the pin, I would recommend protection oils so the item is returned to you safely. You can also surround the pincushion with crystals and/or herbs of your choosing to help get the item back.

Once the item is returned to you, remove the pin from the cushion and thank your tools for helping you get the item back.

My Favorite Simple Tea Spell

english breakfast tea (black tea) half and half cream honey (bringing sweetness and love into your life) basil ( good luck for the day, boost the honey)

Instructions!

Heat 8 oz of water until it boils ( a little over a minute in the microwave) Steep the tea for as long as box calls for Once your tea is at desired strength, i usually put about half a cup of half and half, stir it three times clockwise and visualise bringing positivity into yourself Add desired amount of honey and use an infuser for the basil or just stick the leaves right in.

How to Raise, Move, and Throw Energy: A Practical Guide

One of the most common questions I get is "Ash - how do you ACTUALLY, PRACTICALLY move, throw, and raise energy? A lot of those guides seem to be missing some key steps!" I hear you - and I'm here to break it down.

Below is my own method, slowed down piece by piece. Remember - raising and using energy is a personal matter/varies from person to person, so feel free to adjust, change, or discard any part of this guide to suit your practice!

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

1. Raising Energy

With a combination of physical action, “psyching yourself up”, verbal action, or psychological methods, raise your adrenaline, emotional, or excitement levels in a way that gets more intense the more you do it. E.g., chanting until the words start to lose meaning or you get into a trance state, dancing around the circle until you get a runner’s high and start laughing/having fun and forgetting yourself, and then basically keep performing that action until your emotional/excitement/adrenaline reaches a breaking point. The best way to describe this is escalating excitement. If you’re into EDM, this is how it feels when a beat is about to drop and keeps escalating. This should feel physical and psychological - literally like hitting a runner’s high when you’re exercising, or getting so excited about a date you start to shake. The easiest way to do this is to raise energy with physical activity or chanting. You can enhance this action by doing it moving in a circle around the object you’re going to put energy into.

Many sources cite a series of ways traditionally used to raise energy, which are practical actions to be used in conjunction with the above, as a focus: Raising power with chanting (sub in your own belief system in what you choose for the chant), dance, or singing is common - you can stick with praying too, just be sure to raise and escalate, just to name a few.

2. When you’re sufficiently pumped, keep going. Now, let's THROW!

At this point, you have two options: Physically moving the “energy”, or achieving “gnosis”. (This is the beat drop.)

A) Gnosis

Gnosis is (oversimplifying) the moment when you fully forget yourself and the energy takes over. Basically, you lose sight of where you are and what you’re doing and there’s a moment where everything snaps into place. A real-world example would be, if you’re raising energy with sex magic, the moment of climax. A SFW example would be - this should feel like, when you’re staring at a magic eye painting, after a long while of staring it “clicks” to form an image. Physically IRL, this should feel like - for a split second, even - you do not have control over your energy or emotion. When achieving gnosis, look at (direct your attention to) the object you are raising energy for.

B) Moving or “throwing” the energy

Moving or Throwing is a little more abstract, but I’m going to guide you best as I can. By now, you’re buzzing with actual physical energy, like before a birthday party (nervous jitters OR excitement), or like when you’ve just finished a workout. Take a moment and feel the physical and mental effects of this. Do a body scan if helpful. (The reason why visualizing is helpful is that you can visualize this buzz as a physical thing, once you sense its effects with a body scan, for the next part.) You’ll now need to “direct” the energy. Try and physically move your body to “gather” all your energy up (moving your arms to see how far-reaching the effects of the buzz are, then experimenting by moving your body to see if it changes the scope of the buzz). Then, physically thrust your hands or arms (or your body parts of choice) at the object you’re directing energy to. Do this by performing a strong, firm, decisive physical action, and, if it helps, visualize the energy flowing from your body into the object like a giant blast of fire/light. If done correctly, YOU should no longer feel a buzz - the buzz should now be entirely within the object. If you still feel full of adrenaline, try again - perform a physical throwing movement or (sorry for the dumb example ahoy, it’s 9AM) Dragonball style kamehameha at it. You know how when you’re really upset or nervous, and you shake it off or primal scream and your energy dissipates? Do that, but this time, using a combo of physical actions (and if you wish) visualization, instead of shaking it off into the air, “shake it off” into the object. Try and repeat until you feel like you can appropriately “transfer” the energy using physical movement, and you are able to reliably A) create the physical emotional buzz, and B) use physical actions to move that buzz into something else, removing it from yourself.

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

Over time, you’ll become adept at not only raising that energy, but physically sensing it and acknowledging it, and then you’ll get quite good at being able to move the energy around without using visualization at all, if you wish. It does take practice and it is rather abstract.

A great way to practice this sort of energy movement is (and I’ve seen folks bring this up on witchblr lately!) tai chi (with love, your favorite Cantonese witch). Your local park should have approximately 20 aunties doing this at any given Sunday morning.

Hey friends! We've had a flurry of really excellent magical school books over the last five years or so that I have absolutely loved. I want to write a magical school story of my own soon, so I studied these books: what do they have in common? What are they doing differently from each other? How are they similar to older magical school books? How are they bringing a new twist to the subgenre?

Turns out I had a lot to say on the subject, and so I give you a blog post! Enjoy!

Mabon

Mabon, also known as the autumn equinox (since day and night are the same length), is the time of year where we start getting ready for winter. It is the second harvest and it usually is between September 20 and 24. It's a great time to celebrate abundance, home and family. It's also a time for balance!

Great colors for Mabon are red, orange, yellow, brown and black. Wear them, paint your nails those colors, light candles with these colors, or use them any way you want!

Great foods to eat to be in the mood for Mabon are pumpkin, bread, soup, stew, but most importantly, APPLES! This is the time of year to cook apples, go crazy with it! You can make apple sauce, apple pie, or even those nice apple twist breads I've been making for three years. You can also just eat apples as a snack!

Crystals you should carry around/put on your altar for Mabon are bloodstone, tiger's eye, hematite, amber, citrine, smokey quartz and obsidian

You can also celebrate by going outside and admiring the change of seasons, or being thankful for what you have Practice gratitude! Meditate on it or make a list of things you're grateful for Spend time with the ones you love: have a dinner with them, watch a movie with them… anything!

Since it is a time of balance, meditating to try to balance your emotions is a great way to celebrate.

Getting in the fall mood by doing things that make you think of fall can also be a nice way to celebrate Mabon. Open the windows a bit to let in the fresh air, get cozy under a blanket… you can also watch movies or TV series that remind you of fall, listen to music with autumn vibes, or even go get a pumpkin spice latte, if that's your thing!

On that note, I wish everyone a blessed Mabon, and I hope you'll all enjoy this year's fall time!!
