Queer Witch Tip #4

Queer Witch Tip #4

All citrus fruits and citrus-scented plants are associated with neutrality when it comes to gender.

                                          Keep it secret, keep it safe.

For journals and thoughts and hidden presents; protect it with words that even Gandalf will utter. Intent is on distracting prying eyes so that they forget about your secrets, keeping them buried safe behind other thoughts. 

Creating a Bee-Friendly Garden A Few Simple Homemade Devices Can Go a Long Way

“Have you noticed a dearth of pollinators in your garden of late? Honeybee numbers are declining due to several factors, and it’s finally starting to make headlines. The loss of bee colonies has far-reaching consequences. About one third of our crops are pollinated by bees.”

Witchcrafting Supplies at WALMART - Witches choose Walmart

Okay, so this is a much-needed clapback at someone who commented on a recent post of mine with “Real Witches don’t shop at fucking Walmart”. I’m not going to even address the faulty start of the phrase ‘real witches…’ 

But let me explain what can be found at Walmart for my friend stuck in the dark  ages of elitism and “I only shop at exotic witch shops for everything in my life.”

LET’S TALK ABOUT 

WHAT WE CAN FIND FOR WITCHCRAFTING SUPPLIES AT WALMART

Candles

I honestly could go on and on. You know why? Because most witches were NEVER rich. They lived in cottages, because people didn’t pay for their services in gold. They paid how they could. And witches were never elitist… they used what was available. Well you know what is available to MOST witches today? That’s right - WAL-MART. So, take your elitist shit, and go spend hundreds of dollars for things we can conveniently find at the local superstore for less than $20.

@the-gay-viking. YES. Real witches DO fucking shop at fucking Walmart.

Grilled Cheese Spell

Even if you’re tired as fuck, ya still gotta eat. This is a motivation spell I made to get my depressed ass out of bed and my stomach filled.

Why grilled cheese? Because I like grilled cheese. I associate it with happiness and home. You can replace this with any food or non-alcoholic drink that you have to prepare, as long as you love it!

What you need: -ingredients for your recipe (for grilled cheese, I just butter the outside of the sandwich and slap some colby jack in the middle) -something to cook it on -optional: herbs for energy, happiness, or protection.

1. Think about what you are going to create. Envision it. Taste it in your mind. 2. Stretch. Move your body around. 3. Pouring your intent to get up into your words/thoughts, repeat,    “My body fills with creative energies.    I lift myself up and create a grilled cheese” and on the third time, hoist yourself up and out of bed. (if this doesn’t work, start with sitting up and go from there) 4. You’re up. Gather your ingredients, wash your hands, and prepare the food. 5. Sit and eat. Before you take a bite, give yourself some credit! Be proud of yourself.

I have depression. Although I am medicated, I still have the days where I can’t even get out of bed to feed myself. Right now is one such moment, so I put this together. It’s sorta a spell, sorta not, but it works for me, so it doesn’t really matter what I call it.  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

edit: it worked :)
