Altars

Lots of people talk about how they have physical altars and space to collect, offer, and practice, but this isn’t an option for everyone. Whatever your reason is, don’t fret!! Digital altars are incredibly versatile and can be done in whatever virtual space you have access to, so I’m dropping my favorites!!

♧Minecraft♧

There are plenty of sandbox games that I’m sure work similarly, but Minecraft is my personal favorite. You can build shrines and houses, fill chests with offerings, light candles, incorporate herbs and colors, the world is your oyster!!

♣︎Pinterest and Instagram♣︎

I combined these two because they work very similarly. On both Pinterest and Instagram you can create groups/folders of images, videos, recipes, etc. from a massive archive of media. These folders can be dedicated spaces that you can save whatever feels right in, including many witchy tips!!

♧Notes App♧

This one involves more writing and a little more back and forth from other apps, but there’s a lot you can do here!! In Notes you can draw, write, and import videos and images. This is a great place to organize poetry, prayers, spells, etc. discreetly!!

There are plenty others that I’m sure I’ve missed (I’m not all that tech savvy) but give them a go too!! Stay spooky ♣︎

Hello!! I’m interested in a reading, I’m moving soon and was wondering if there is anything I could/should do to feel at home in this new space? Thanks so much!!

Hello! I have pulled the 5 of swords for you.

Three birds weave around five swords, forming the bars of a prison cell around them. This card is about feeling trapped, or even isolated. Ask yourself - did you make this cell, or did someone else?

Consider spending time getting to know your neighbours, your local community, having friends over to help make your new space feel more homely. Isolating yourself or spending too much time inside might begin to feel like a prison of your own making.

This card is about conflicts both internal and external. Take time to think about why you moved, why you chose this new space and how it being different will be good for you. Make a list of things you are looking forward to about moving.

I hope this helps! Let me know ✴️

Keep My Name Out Of Your Fucking Mouth ~ Binding curse

Howdy y'all! I was dealing with some bullshit that I would rather not deal with but a las, here I am. Anyways, did a little thing and thought I'd share for anyone who has to work with absolute vain, dumb pieces of shit like me. Please excuse how cringe the writing is, I really let my 13 year old emo me run wild with this but it felt fantastic to cast. As always, when cursing and hexing please make sure you stay safe. Ground yourself before hand, cleanse yourself after, don't damage yourself just to get one over on someone else. Happy casting.

Ingredients:

your rage

a black candle(ideally taper but a tealight or whatever will do just fine)

twine(so they feel like they're suffocating)

a sharp utensil or needle to carve said candle

Steps:

Carve the target's name into the black taper candle with the needle . Put a circle around their name and a giant X over the circle. This is to symbolize a bound mouth.

Wrap the candle with twine, visualizing the person being bound and silenced. Please practice fire safety. DO NOT LEAVE UNATTENDED. Keep in a safe dish or simply opt out of the twine if you know you don't want to sit there the whole time.

Light the black taper and say the incantation below. Let the candle burn down completely or fully past the engraving, focusing on your intent throughout the process.

Dispose of any left over remnants in a way that suits you. Throw it in the trash, a curse box, your jobs dumpster, just be eco-friendly please.

Incantation:

"May your lies and slander turn to dust,

In your mouth, words of me shall rust.

When you speak, the twine constrains,

Your words of me, bound in chains.

Feel the pressure, feel the strain,

Each attempt will be in vain.

By this candle, black as pitch,

Your mouth shall twitch, your tongue shall stitch.

Silence now, hold your breath,

Speak of me and feel my wrath.

This spell I weave, this curse I cast,

Keep my name out of your fucking mouth,

And let this silence last."
