I Made A Tiny Spell Book! The Design Is Simply A Thing That Came To Mind When I Thought About The Person

The next 5 are done!!

They’re the Tower, the Devil, Temperance, Death, and the Hanged Man!

The “Are you an angel?” scene from the Phantom Menace- but Silmarilion!

Melkor does not get a lot of compliments in his plainclothes- especially not from someone the human equivalent of 12!

A Sigil of calming. It’s my first one ever! Yay! The pride is real right now, guys.

Hi! I am a former closeted witch! I came out on my own, but before that, I simply used a shelf in my closet! I made an altar using some fancy pillows I’d been given and called it storage, kept all me witchy things in shoeboxes, and hid a lighter in one of them. No one was ever the wiser!

Does anyone else in the broom closet know how to make and alter without the people you live with knowing?

I’m just a baby witch, and I don’t do crazy stuff, but if you’re in the closet like me, I hope I can help, even though I mostly reblog.

Active Witch Blogs!

Hi, everyone! Yes, this is another ‘reblog if…’ but this one comes with a twist. Whilst my own dashboard is definitely dry lately, it’s also becoming increasingly obvious that the witchblr community in general is beginning to become less active. There are lots of reasons, of course, but rather than focus on the issue, I want to focus on a solution.

If you are an active witch blog, divination blog, religious blog, or anything in between that finds themselves here on witchblr, I have two things I want you to do!

1. Reblog This Post

Reblog this post and maybe say a little about yourself and your blog. But, also tag/mention blogs that you think are really wonderful and active! Again, I want this to branch out to many different kinds of bloggers. New witches, seasoned witches, brujas, european witches, root workers, hoodoo practitioners, you name it. This community is about diversity and personal pathways. It’s time to big each other up.

My humble recommendations are: @thepastelpriestess @powerpriestess @shadow-of-wings @will-o-the-witch @nightshadeandroses @witches-ofcolor @ener-chi @luna-di-fuoco @mercury-minded @urbanspellcraft @upthewitchypunx @hermeticimp @divineclecticism @themagickcat @themanicnami @underworldpriestess @ancestralmedicinemagic @she-who-treads-on-water @shintowitchling and probably even more amazing practitioners I have forgotten. Each of these people are so knowledgeable and kind, and often give to our little online community here. I love reading/seeing their content and I know you will too.

2. Write About Your Craft

Not just this month, every month, but I do want to maybe try to encourage February to be a really good month for sharing and creation. It doesn’t have to be a long post, it doesn’t even have to have a theme. Just share. Tell people what you’ve been up to, or explain a personal revelation you’ve had. Ask for tips on a spell you’re working on. One thing we’ve lost on witchblr is a sense of personal identities, probably after months of silly discourse making people shy away. But here’s the thing… Witchcraft is personal.

If anyone more media savvy has any great ideas for this, please add on. All I can think is to share, and maybe ask some interesting questions to blogs you admire! I don’t mean the usual stuff, but maybe ask ‘What is something you always put into your spells?’ or ‘What’s your personal take on how magic works?’ - something which is interesting and allows us all to find our places again.

I am really interested in seeing what we all end up making or writing, so if you want to share some personal ideas, or find others wanting to create a more active witchblr again, we can use the tag #WakingWitchblr. Talk about your blog on it, write ‘reblog if’ posts to find likewise people, ask an interesting questions. Let’s just… Be again, people!

Much love, stay blessed. ✨

I’m going to do this for Midsummer! Let the beautiful sun soak into my lovely oil!

☀️ Sunburst Oil Recipe ☀️

Essential oil free!

sun·burst-

1. A sudden burst of sunlight, as through broken clouds

I just made my batch for this winter and I thought I'd share this recipe with you!

Good for: Physical Healing, Protection, Divination, Happiness, Love, Creativity, Prophesy, Truth, Solar Deities

Medically: cools and softens skin, helps heal small cuts, burns, irritations, SAD, breaking fever, purifying, anti bacterial, helps relieve anxiety and depression

Ingredients:

Grapeseed or sunflower oil

Dried hibiscus

Dried juniper berries

Dried Bay leaves

Dried citrus peel

Dried dandelion root

Rosemary

A cinnamon stick

If you want to add essential oils you can, I didnt for this batch but In the past I've used frankincense, lemon, orange, cinnamon, vetiver, black pepper, sandalwood, and juniper

Best to grind the ingredients before adding them to the oil (except the cinnamon stick)

Makes a great offering for any solar deity like apollo, sol, helios, sekhmet

Let infuse in the sunshine for a few weeks-months depending on how much oil you're making, or if you want it faster & stronger you can heat it up until it turns red from the hibiscus

It smells so good so it's an excellent natural perfume, and it's great for your skin!

I tend to go heavy on the hibiscus and juniper in this but the amounts used are up to you.

Crystal infusions: citrine, garnet, carnelian

hey i really need some guidance or insight do you think you could do a reading on me?

Sure, but I would need a little more information to be able to do a reading!

thank you for the pics of your silmarillion deck!! they’re so cute! can i ask how you decided on what messages to put on the oracle cards?

Hey sure! Basically I read that book like seven times and tried to think on their ‘purpose’ in Arda. They were out there for a reason. Some were easy (Manwë, for instance). Some…. I struggled (Melkor). But in the end, they all had lil messages, and they worked.

Hey it’s me again, from the fae post. Just wondering if you still do free readings and if you do, I would love to know if there are any fae around me that would like to reach out or maybe around me in general? I do tarot but I’m not great at it.

My initials are SB

Hey there! Sorry it took so long, but here’s your reading!

Strength, upright: inner strength, bravery, and compassion.

The Moon, upright: unconscious, illusions, and intuition.

The Ace of Swords, upright: breakthroughs, new ideas, mental clarity, and success.

Overall, it looks like should you find the courage to take that first step, there will be faeries willing to speak with you. You’ll have to use your gut to tell you if these fae are trustworthy, but in the end, you’ll find these fae open to conversation!
