So, Update Since the Last Time I Posted Anything

I moved out out of my parents' home

Still going to church, but it's more of a ritual that's been ingrained in me

I made wards and posted them over the doorframes

I have my tarot cards out in the open

I'm reconnecting with nature

I'm thinking about Cernnous again (can't remember why) and just want to see if our connection is salvageable

More to come, hopefully!

More to come, hopefully!

Folk witch tip #2

Someone did you dirty but you don’t want to get down into the nitty-gritty? Instead of hexing or cursing, bless them.

Bless them to learn their lesson sooner rather than later. Trust me, life lessons hurt.

Ooooor, you can bless the people around them to see their true nature.

You’ll make them pay for sure ✨

What to do if there's a witch at your door.

One of my favorite things about recording notes about my ancestors are the corrections. I know it's important to write down the info that is true/factual, but I only have my living relatives. They might get something wrong. But writing down what they said shows how things change overtime.

Low Energy Devotional Activities and Ways to Connect with the Gods

Let's be honest, religion and consistent practice can be HARD, especially when you're chronically ill, disabled, mentally ill or neurodivergent. This is a list of lower energy practices you can do to connect with your Gods when you're having a rough day.

Pray. You don't have to say the prayer. You don't have to do the full cleansing and offering. Just think about the prayer. It could be as simple as "'Deity Name', thank you. I'm thinking of you and appreciate you."

Dedicate any self care you do to the Gods. You've got to take meds? awesome. it's now a devotional activity.

If you can, light a tea light candle. You can think about who you're dedicating it to as you're lighting it.

Tell them about your day. Have a simple conversation with them (again, this can be in your head if needed).

Offer some water! Water is a great offering if you don’t have the energy to cook, collect or buy something.

Incense is also a great offering because you can light it then forget about it and your house won’t burn down (if you follow regular safety measures). 

Resting. Your deities want you to be okay. Dedicating your rest to your deities is especially great if you feel guilty for allowing yourself time to heal.

Turn on a video of someone reading mythos! 

Put on a deity playlist. There are plenty of pre-made ones on Spotify. 

Veil or bind your hair! Whenever I’m low energy I’ll throw my hair in a ponytail and bind it that way. It doesn’t have to be extravagant. 

Make a Pinterest board for them!

Post on a digital altar! There are plenty of discord servers that have digital altars and temples. You could also make a devotional Tumblr blog. 

Change your phone lock/home screen to something that reminds you of your Deity.

I hope this is helpful to anyone who needs it! Take care of yourself first and foremost. If you don't think you can manage something on this list then thats perfectly fine too! you're not a bad person for not being able to do something spiritual or religious. Ultimately, these things are not a necessity. Don't stress :)

okay i know this is a bit random but this is to all my spiritual fellas out there. ESPECIALLY MY FELLOW ECLECTIC PRACTITIONERS!!!

before you do ANYTHING remotely spiritual, RESEARCH

RESEARCH RESEARCH RESEARCH!!!!!!!

that goes for spells, chants, meditation/yoga, deities, ALL OF IT

you could be accidentally stepping into cultures/beliefs that you're not supposed to be in!!!!

and when i say "research", i mean books, websites, articles, actual practitioners of what you're about to do. cross reference, too!!!! make sure you're getting it all from multiple sources and not just one.

and most important of all:

DONT GET CHUR INFORMATION FROM TIKTOK!!!

don't you know that lemon hexes and egg cleansing were cherry picked from their original practices and spread onto tiktok?? they weren't exactly closed, theyre just apart of bigger practices and cherry picked.

PLEAAASE do your research. i get that research and reading paragraph after paragraph might be boring, but that's the price you pay for knowledge.

Sometimes your gods know exactly what you need even if you don’t want it.

Haven’t made a comic in a while, but I’m still around for the most part.

At the moment, things are not doing well in my practice. I still think about it, but I haven't been doing anything in the past few weeks. Then again, the seasons are changing and I'm getting less sun than usual. And I still love with my parents. But I feel pretty lost and Cernnous hasn't been speaking with me.

I am getting a new job, which requires me to move in the near future. Maybe my practice will get better once that happens (I mean, it was good when I was living in my college dorm).

St Joseph Prayer

Oh, St. Joseph, whose protection is so great, so strong, so prompt before the throne of God. I place in you all my interests and desires. Oh, St. Joseph, do assist me by your powerful intercession, and obtain for me from your divine Son all spiritual blessings, through Jesus Christ, our Lord. So that, having engaged here below your heavenly power, I may offer my thanksgiving and homage to the most loving of Fathers.

Oh, St. Joseph, I never weary of contemplating you, and Jesus asleep in your arms; I dare not approach while He reposes near your heart. Press Him in my name and kiss His fine head for me and ask him to return the Kiss when I draw my dying breath. St. Joseph, Patron of departing souls - Pray for me.

thanks for answering my ask!!

also, i feel like I know the general catholic answer for missing a day or a few of a novena (my adhd is winning rn), but would you say there's a difference btwn petitioning as a normal person and petitioning as someone desiring to develop a relationship with spirits (although arguably these r the same people) re: missing obligations due to unforeseen circumstances/exhaustion etc?

Hiya!

Well I kinda think you answered your own question; because what do you do in those circumstances? You get back in contact, apologise and see on how you can work on the relationship. Though saints are usually very forgiving, missing your obligations and breaking promises, even for them there would be a line. Don't agree to anything you cannot do in the long run.

And there is a difference between being caught in unforseen circumstances and just not having the motivation to do it. That's why stuff like that sould be simple and easy to do. I've come home from complete shit-show situations and just went up to my saints, explained it + a prayer. And then I did the thing the next day, but added some fancy incense. But there are saints/traditions who do not accept this. So be mindful of that fact before making any promises.

Take care!

Catholic folk magic tip #7

Offer blessed salt to St Michael. For his shield. Light candles in his name, for his sword and that his light may prevail. Keep it clean, and don’t bother him with little evils. For when he is kept in your home, you are under his wing.  Sprinkle holy water, that has spend a night in the light of the full moon, in your home. Do this at dawn. Pray for peace, tranquility in your home.  Wipe doors down with a bundle of herbs. Lavender for stillness, basil for blessings and rosemary for cleansing. Add a string of prayer to mother Mary, while you make holy the water, to keep clean your threshold.  Put little papers with wishes, dreams and whispers in your bible. Tie it shut with a red ribbon, and keep it under your pillow. Let them grow; sleep. When the time is right, petition to saints, or light them up under the light of the full moon.  See previous tip *here* That’s all for now. Hope you are well.  - Toverij & Spokerij.

☽ Closet Witch Tips ☾

Hi, everyone! I spent years living as a closet witch and wishing I had more freedom to practice. Nowadays my living situation is different which allows me to do things I couldn’t before, but I know that there are many witches out there who are still struggling with this so I decided to share some tips on how to practice in the broom closet

Keep in mind these are all suggestions, you don’t need to have an altar, a book of shadows, practice divination, etc if you don’t want to

Altars

(Disclaimer: you don’t need an altar to practice, but in case you still desire to have one)

Inside a jewelry box

Shoe box

Tin can

Matchbox

In a video game such as animal crossing, the sims, minecraft, etc

The #SelfCare app has a little altar in which you can decorate with crystals, herbs and tarot cards

Notebook (then add the items by drawing them or maybe making collages)

Make/buy a little terrarium (artificial or real)

I’ve heard of people using plant vases as altars as well

Divination

(In case you can’t buy tarot decks/runes/etc)

Make your own tarot cards/oracle cards (it can be a little tiring but it’s what I did when I couldn’t buy my own)

Use playing cards as minor arcanas to read tarot

Pendulums (doesn’t have to be an actual crystal pendulum as you see on witchy stores, anything on a string will do)

Make runes out of seashells, rocks, clay, etc

Flip a coin for yes and no questions

Give dice divination a try

Deity Worship/Work

Wear jewelry that reminds you of them (ex: sun necklace for apollo, moon ring for artemis, etc)

Wear their associated colors

Practice devotional acts such as reading about them, praying, drawing something for them, writing them a letter, something related to your deity’s domains

Keep a notebook in which you can write their myths/domains/associations/etc or write prayers/poems, make drawings of things they like, etc

Keep a small altar

Watch movies that remind you of them

Play video games associated with their domains

Study something they have domain over

Make them a playlist

Make them a pinterest board

Make a devotional blog

Light a candle in their honor (it’s ok if you can only use LED candles)

Keep something associated with them on your desk/shelf

Keep a crystal associated with them near you

Get a small statuette/toy of one of their sacred animals to represent them (on your shelf/desk, on a small altar if you have one, etc)

Make a little deity jar and keep it near you

Have a devotional plant for them

Spend time in nature in their honor

Take care of yourself

Book of Shadows

Notebook

Notes app

Google docs or google keep

Tumblr blog (either private or public, up to you)

Somewhere on your phone/computer

Simple Practices

Enchant your jewelry with intention

Use color correspondence in your clothes/makeup

Meditating

Open your windows to cleanse your room

Keep crystals around you

Physically clean your space

Take showers/baths with the intention of cleansing yourself

Try practicing some kitchen magic if you cook

Enchant your food/drink

Make sigils

Keep plants in your space associated with your intention (ex: protection, creativity, etc)

Keep in mind that you’re not any less of a witch for not being able to do certain things, your practice is still valid
