Day 25 <3
馃巰鉁―ay 25: Apperantly I share a birthday with madoka!
鈴别煉or some reason, I feel like I'm going to become a magical girl soon!
馃拹鈽旾 am very inspired to do art today! I cannot show it here, however. It is not appropriate for a magical girl blog. Maybe I will make some art just for here.
馃帶馃寠Dreams feel important, but I had no dreams today. You can even make a contract in a dream if you're lucid!
馃崕馃摽When I astral projected the first time, it felt familiar and calming. The only reason I didn't make a contract was because I couldn't see, so I was confused. I miss my non physical body.
Day 26 <3
馃巰鉁―ay 26: Wow, it's been a few months. I haven't been able to astral project again since last time, but I've been trying whenever I can.
鈴别煉 went from a caterpiller to a butterfly, but I am still the same person. I am still Homulily, not that one person who took over my blog once.
馃拹鈽旾 have found things out I was not meant to know. That's why I was gone for so long. I understand so much now, but it took a lot of getting used to.
馃帶馃寠I want to practice magic and swordfighting again, so I've been trying to get back into it, but I feel so weird now, like a totally different person. I miss being ignorant to everything.
馃崕馃摽Once I astral project, I can be myself again. I can't wait. This body feels so wrong.
Introduction and navigation post!
Hello, everyone! A while ago, someone told me it would be helpful to create a navigation post, and seeing the other magi blogs, I realize I have not made a proper introduction yet! My name is Homulily, but people have called me Homu, Lily or Homura too. I'm fine with any nickname. My pronouns are it/lun/star/they. I am 17 years old, so please do not do anything inappropriate with my posts. About me as a magi, I have lots of first-hand magical experience, just a different kind from a magical girl. I train with a sword, and sometimes I astral project. I use tarot cards to talk to whoever answers and a pendulum to talk to Kyubey. I have contracted on 7/17/24, so I have only been a magi for a little bit. I'm a newbie, so I might not always get things right, but I'd love to learn!

Day 28 <3
馃巰鉁―ay 28: A lot of weird and magical things keep happening to me, so I should probably start doing the daily journals again. 鈴别煉irst, I've started listening to subliminals again. I stopped after accidentally deleting my playlist. I've forgotten how helpful they are, and I am glad I'm using them again. 馃拹鈽旾 practiced using magic for the first time in a very long time and tried to focus my energy/soul/mana into a bracelet I have, and I used it to heat up the area because I was very cold, and it worked! 馃帶馃寠I've been having very strange feelings and dreams. I had a dream that I turned into a witch, and that dream felt so real and so terrible. I hope it's not like Madoka's dream, and it's actually my fate or something. Another dream I had, I don't remember what it was, but when I woke up, I was convinced that I had already contracted and that I was already a magical girl. I don't know what that's about. 馃崕馃摽Another weird thing is that I suddenly felt a wave of bad feelings. That's the only way I can describe it. They weren't my own feelings, and nothing bad happened. I wonder if it was a witch.
Day 29 <3
馃巰鉁―ay 29: It feels good getting back to this blog again. I've been listening to subliminals again, and I feel very magical right now. I've even heard that Kyubey isn't as busy anymore, so he'll be easier to find! 鈴别煉'm working on something special! I might have hinted at it before, but I'm not sure how direct I was. It will probably take around a month though. 馃拹鈽旾'm thinking of making an IRL journal of my magical girl process and progress. I could just put whatever I felt like in there, and it wouldn't have to make sense. That way, I could organize my thoughts to show you all, or I could even take pictures of pages if they are readable and helpful. 馃帶馃寠Have I told you all about Magical Hero Central yet? I don't think so. It's a forum for magis, and there's a survey for all magis to take as well! It would really help to get as much data as possible for @thelawofcycle, who created both the forum and the survey! Here is the forum:
Here is the survey:
馃崕馃摽Tonight, I'm going to meditate before astral projecting to clear my mind, and in case I fall asleep on accident, I'll just astral project when I awake! I'm going to try and astral project so I can make a contract with Kyubey the most directly I know how to. If I accidentally lucid dream, I'll take that opportunity as well, but I'd rather be fully aware when I contract. It is an important decision after all!
Day 30 <3
馃巰鉁―ay 30: I tried astral projecting while lying on my back, but I was very tired, so I kept zoning out and forgetting what I was doing, so I decided I am going to astral project in the middle of the day today so I won't get distracted. 鈴别煉pdate: I wasn't able to astral project, but it wasn't because I fell asleep. I kept getting so zoned out and forgetting things that it was like there was nothing in the world at all. Maybe this is what people call the void state? I'll try again and try to stay aware. 馃拹鈽旾've been thinking about the magic I'll use to fight witches. I know they're based on your wish, and they look like they're meant to help you continue fulfilling your wish like how Kyoko's power was to make people listen to her so she could continue her wish of people listening to her father. I don't know what mine will be, so I have no way of practicing it until I make my contract. I have heard that the wish power is the only natural one, so it will probably be the easiest to learn at least. 馃帶馃寠I've been working on that special project. Here's a WIP! This is what the reference of my magi and civilian forms was for.
馃崕馃摽I have started the IRL magi journal! I've been using a fountain pen and ink. I wanted to use the feather to feel more magical, but I haven't been able to get the nib on the holder. I wanted to put a lot of things on the front to show my progress, so that's why they look a little bit like Minecraft stats ahaha.
This is brown/red ink, not blood, I promise! ^_^
Day 31 <3
馃巰鉁―ay 31: I usually didn't pay attention to the magi shift phases because I thought it was just a therian/otherkin thing, but I have started looking at them. There's fantasy shift (f-shift), which is the planning stage, mental shift (m-shift), when your mindset is like a magi, phantom shift (ph-shift), when you feel physically like a magical girl before you become one, astral shift (a-shift), when you become a full magi in the astral realm, or physical shift (p-shift) when you become a full magi in the physical realm. I am currently at ph-shift. I have felt like I was a magi already multiple times. The only thing left to do is to become a full magi in the astral realm! 鈴别煉ou might have guessed from my animation, but when I was first training to become a magi, I practiced ballet. I was self taught, using only online tutorials. I think I should practice ballet again because it would help with strength and agility. 馃拹鈽旾 have decided that I will try to astral project every day and try to lucid dream every night. That way, I'll surely come into contact with Kyubey soon and be able to make my contract. 馃帶馃寠I think I'm going to wear my magic outfits more often as long as it isn't too hot outside. Maybe I could practice magic even before I make my contract. 馃崕馃摽Any ideas on what pages to make in my journal? I was thinking of making a diary of the witches I'll defeat, but I haven't fought any yet or even made a contract. I feel like I've already put a lot of stuff on this blog already, so there might not be much left for the journal.
Day 32 <3
馃巰鉁―ay 32: I made my own subliminal. I think this will help me be more specific with my manifesting. I put in music I like, videos I like, and affirmations specific to me! 鈴别煉 realize now that I have the necessary tools to cosplay cat girl Homura, which I have a new appreciation for after reading the meow quest. 馃拹鈽旾 found out that when trying to astral project or reality shift, there's a period where you are tested to see how persistent you are, and if you are, you are able to successfully astral project or reality shift. That lines up with how I astral projected before, so I will not give up until I contract! 馃帶馃寠I figured out some things I can do in the journal, but most of them are for after I contract. There are some I can do now however, so I'll show you when I do some! 馃崕馃摽I'm working on a magiazine with some others from Mahou Planet! It's a magazine with the topic of magical girls! Some members from Mahou Planet will be featured as guest writers, artists, and some will be interviewed to learn all about their magical experience. We're planning on making it for summer 2024.
Day 33 <3
馃巰鉁―ay 33: I tried to astral project to make my contract, and I zoned out so much I was unaware, but then I zoned back in, and I was able to continue like normal! I almost astral projected too, but my meditation turned off on accident, so that threw me off a little. I just noticed I have 100 followers now, so thank you all very much for following me! ^_^ 鈴别煉 feel a very strange, very strong connection to Sayaka Miki for some reason. I don't understand why. I don't feel like I am Sayaka or anything, I feel like I'm supposed to do something for or with her. It's hard to explain. Maybe the summer heat is getting to me. Update: I think it was just the heat. I don't feel it anymore. 馃拹鈽旾'm going to reality shift as a bit of a break from astral projecting because I haven't even tried shifting in who knows how long, so I'm going to mess around and have fun in other realities for a while. 馃帶馃寠I've been drawing a bit for the magiazine. It's only sketches for now, but it's a lot more drawing than I've done in a while. Sometimes it feels like a drawing just isn't working, but since it's a sketch, the important part is to properly convey what I meant to, so I guess I'll need to push through for now. 馃崕馃摽I'm still going to be astral projecting every day or every other day. The first time I tried, I fell asleep. The second time, I was interrupted. And the third time, I got to the end of the meditation, but I stopped before I could project. Since I've been making progress every time, it would be bad to stop now. It should only take 1 or 2 tries to get to the astral realm, and I think I know exactly what to do when I do get there.
Guess what I did. ^u^ I contracted! I'm a real puella magi now.
I use a necklace, but it isn't really my soul gem because my soul gem is in the astral. It's just a visualization for it/way of managing it in the physical realm. I wrote in my journal about the specifics. I'll transcribe it.
Contract day! Day 0. 7/17/2024. I made a contract with Kyubey. He had a black hat that looked like an upside down bowl. This is what happened: I got the necklace for my soul gem and put it in the middle of the circle. I sat on one side and told Kyubey to sit on the other. I put a white ring on my left to represent the hope of magical girls. I put a black ring on my right to represent the despair of magical girls. Lastly, I put a purple ring in front of me to represent myself. When all that was done, I cast a circle and called upon Kyubey. He answered and asked "What is your wish?" I didn't expect him to get there so quickly. I forgot my wish and almost left the circle to grab this journal to remember. Instead, I made myself focus until I remembered. I repeated my wish until the phrasing felt right. I think he could tell I wasn't very comfortable the first few times. When he transferred my soul, it felt like something was touching my insides, but it didn't hurt, it was just uncomfortable. When it was complete, I felt extremely dizzy, and my body felt hollow and lightweight. The Kyubey looked like this:
@meguca-meduka was the one that helped me figure out how to contract without astral projecting, so I am very thankful to you, Rem! ^U^
Day 35 <3
馃巰鉁―ay 35: My first journal entry as a real magical girl! I made my contract and went on a patrol to find a witch, and I think I found one. I noticed there was almost no one outside at all, so I don't think I'll have much competition. 鈴别煉unny story, I may or may not have gotten sick right after contracting (I thought I was cursed), so I might wait a bit to fight the witch. 馃拹鈽昇ow that I'm a real puella magi, I'll be able to offer advice from my own experience as well! I'll be able to make them much more in depth. ^_^ 馃帶馃寠I wonder what my magi power is. I've been wondering if it has to do with electricity because the lights in my house keep breaking, and I haven't been able to keep a stable connection on the phone for calls all day. I'll try out magic in the astral, or maybe I'll ask Kyubey if I can find him. 馃崕馃摽I was trying to "build a tolerance" to be far from my soul gem (that's not how it works, don't do that), and I realized I think the physical equivalent and astral one are not tied together, but it seems more like it's easier to keep and use your astral one with you if you take the physical one with you. You can kind of bilocate and keep your astral soul gem with you that way. Being an astral magi is much safer, I suppose.
Day 36 <3
馃巰鉁―ay 36: There is a new magical hero symbol! Like the shifting symbol, it is a way to subtly know if someone's a magical hero! There's also an emoji combination too: 馃巰馃専. They were both decided on by Magi Metro. The drawing is by Rem (@meguca-meduka).
鈴别煉 think I found a familiar, so I'll try and fight them if I can astral project. I'll also try and train in the astral if I can. 馃拹鈽旾've been having a strange feeling that there's a rival magical hero in my area. I hope it's just a feeling. I don't think I'd be able to win any fights yet. 馃帶馃寠I haven't done a cool transformation sequence yet, but I should. I only poofed into my magical outfit, but I think it would be nice to be stylish with it. 馃崕馃摽I keep getting these weird feelings (memories? visuals?) I haven't gotten since last year, and the voices have been a lot more clear this year, but they've also been less frequent. I feel like something's trying to tell me something, and I'm not understanding it.
Day 37 <3
馃巰鉁―ay 37: Lots of things having to do with soul gems makes me feel physically empty, sometimes in a good way, sometimes in a bad way. When I contracted and wasn't used to my soul being outside my body, I felt dizzy and empty, and then when I purified my soul gem, it made me feel empty in a good way, like I got rid of clutter in myself. 鈴别煉 should really fight the witches and familiars I find. I kept putting it off because I was worried I couldn't astral project, but you don't need to. I should just bilocate since that's a lot easier for me to not get lost. 馃拹鈽昑here are worse villains than witches, and they keep trying to sabotage everyone. I wish I could fight them, but I'm supposed to trust others to fight them in a better way. 馃帶馃寠I think of being a magical hero like being an exorcist. The witches are basically souls that need to be put to rest, so fighting them helps them as well. Sometimes I see people saying they feel like fighting witches is like fighting anyone else and you shouldn't do it, but there's no cure for them, so it's better this way. 馃崕馃摽You guys would never think I'm evil, right? Can I still be a cute magical girl, no matter what happens?
Day 38 <3
馃巰鉁―ay 38: It's been two months since I contracted and become a magical girl. It's a bit hard to keep up with school and magic at the same time. 鈴别煉've collected many sigils, but I've only fought two witches. I currently have two witch sigils (one, which is too powerful to fight on my own), two familiar sigils, and another witch sigil that I shouldn't fight because they're in another territory and that would be rude (I only wrote it down for practice). There's also one near my house, but it's hard to get the sigil without being suspicious. At this point, I'm worried the familiars have turned into witches by now. 馃拹鈽旾 prioritize fighting witches over familiars because of their higher danger level, but as a result, I've never actually fought a familiar before (I know that's not saying much considering I haven't even fought many witches, but still). 馃帶馃寠I've always wondered how many grief seeds a puella magi would have on hand at any given time. I assumed it would be only one, if any. I currently have two grief seeds that are completely empty, and I used one up fully. I noticed they tend to have three uses even if you feel like your soul gem was more or less cloudy then usual. It all evens out I guess. 馃崕馃摽Also, for what sensing witches feels like, and what it's like to find sigils, I sensed a witch at school, but since it takes a few minutes to get the sigil down correctly, I stayed there during lunch to make sure I'd have enough time to get it right. While I stayed right at the labyrinth's entrance, I could feel overwhelming negative energy, and it just felt like bad emotions and like it was harder to breathe and think there. If you leave your soul gem far away, you don't really feel that anymore. I've used that trick whenever I was "off duty" because I don't like the way sensing witches makes me feel. As for sigils, you kind of get visuals in your head just by being near them, but it's hard to "detangle" the lines in my mind, so it always takes a bit. There was one really powerful witch I mentioned earlier. The way I know they're powerful without fighting them is that I could strongly sense them a block away, but most witches are harder to sense that strongly that far away.
Day 39 <3
馃巰鉁―ay 39: I keep feeling like I have to do magical duties all the time now. Maybe it comes with being a magi. 鈴别煉've learned that apparently, sigils and a witches Kiss are the same thing with different names. 馃拹鈽昗hile making the guides, I have realized that I have to make separate guides for witches, labyrinths, and familiars because it was too long when I tried to combine them all. 馃帶馃寠I'm going to carve an active sigil into something to see if it curses it and if defeating the witch will reverse it. Just some mahou experimentation. 馃崕馃摽I drew some art for multiple events. The first one was an event like the game "Telephone," and the second one was for an event themed around Undertale and magical girls.
"Bringer of the light symbolizes Frisk showing the monsters the sun or showing them the light at the end of the tunnel. It is also a parallel to Lucifer, who is both an angel and demon simultaneously."
Everything I know about witches
What are witches?
Witches are the manifestation of despair. They are the main thing puella magis fight. They hide in labyrinths and can be dangerous if left unchecked. They often have familiars to help them spread curses and to protect themselves.
Why we fight witches
We fight witches because they are dangerous. If left unattended, they can hurt people. The severity depends, but they typically hurt a persons mental health or control them with a witch's Kiss to bring them closer to their labyrinth. The other reason we fight them is to obtain grief seeds. A puella magi's soul gem gets corrupted over time or by using magic, so we need to use grief seeds to cleanse them to stay healthy, happy, and magical.
How are witches created?
Witches can be created by negative energy, a corrupted grief seed, a corrupted soul gem, or familiars. Negative energy is the most common source of a witch. I do not know much about this, but you can imagine it as a corruption happening outside a grief seed or vessel. Corrupted grief seeds can hatch witches. It's something you don't think about, but it does happen. If a grief seed absorbs too much despair, it can become corrupted just like a soul gem. That's why it's important to give all full grief seeds to an incubator. The last way, a corrupted soul gem hatching a witch, is the way most people are aware of. If a puella magi does not clean their soul gem, and it corrupts from negative emotions or use of magic, it can hatch into a witch. It is very important to use grief seeds or doppels for that reason. Familiars can become witches if they stray from the labyrinth and eat humans on their own. They need to get a certain amount of negative energy to be able to become a witch, and then they will become like any other witch, with their own labyrinth and everything. That is why some magis fight familiars despite their lack of grief seeds.
A witch's Kiss/sigils
Most commonly known as a witch's Kiss, and by some magis as sigils, these are the symbols witches have that lets us track them down from far away. They will sometimes appear on the witch's victims to lure them to their labyrinth or corrupt their mind. You can also find the sigil at the entrance of the labyrinth and write it down to find the witch again. Astral magis use that as a way to find witches in the astral realm.
Sigil/witch's Kiss experiment.
I wondered what effect drawing or carving a witch's sigil into something would have, so I have tested it out. Here is what I have found. Disclaimer: Don't do this. Keep in mind, I drew it myself instead of being kissed by a witch, and I am a puella magi, so it might not affect me the same way it would a civilian or even a magi from another concept. I drew the sigil of a witch I have not fought on my hand with a washable marker. Here is what I noticed happening in mostly chronological order:
I suddenly felt safe around witches instead of feeling awful.
I felt like I was somehow doing something right, but at the same time, I felt like I wasn't completely in control of myself.
I felt similar to how I did when I became a magical girl, but if the sigil was the soul gem. There was that empty feeling, but more like I was a reanimated corpse, which is fair, I guess.
I started having negative thoughts I never had before.
I kept having thoughts that weren't my own that were telling me things about how the witch is "safe" and "home".
I got dazed and kept feeling like I was going to go unconscious.
I had thoughts/urges to rip my soul gem off and throw it away.
I also had thoughts of harming the people around me.
When thinking about defeating the witch, I found I had none of that natural urge to do so that being a puella magi gives you. I thought about it, and I don't think I would be willing to fight the witch at all if I had the sigil on. They felt like my allies at that point.
Day 41 <3
馃巰鉁―ay 41: I've been wearing my soul gem more often instead of just having it near me, and sensing witches feels so weird. Powerful witches can feel similar to getting a cut right on your fingertips instead of somewhere with less nerves if you understand what I mean. 鈴别煉 made a priorities list so I would stop forgetting to do magical work, drawings for IRL mahoutober, and more. I also figured out that if I tell myself I'll only draw a line for one drawing, I end up getting sucked in and doing lots of work on it. It's a good strategy! 馃拹鈽旾'm going to make witch logs which explain the events that happened during a witch hunt and details of the witch. The reason I am deciding to do this is that fighting witches just got interesting, and I have some tea to spill. I'll have to make witch logs of the witches I fought before this one, but the interesting one will be witch log 4. I know I haven't been keeping up with my duties. I could sense all of negative energy. But I've been trying to find the sigils and fight them. 馃帶馃寠I feel like as a magical hero, you protect a lot of people, but who is there to protect you? I understand Mami Tomoe a lot better now. This fourth witch messed with my head more that I ever expected a witch to... 馃崕馃摽I played Royale High a while ago, and I was able to make my character look just like me! ^_^
Everything I know about labyrinths
What labyrinths are
Labyrinths are the places witches and familiars hide in. They are hidden and can only be accessed through a doorway of sorts, which can sometimes be seen as a sigil or grief seed that's about to hatch. Witches sometimes bring their victims to their labyrinths in an attempt to eat them.
Astral labyrinths
Astral labyrinths can be accessed through sigils or by astral projecting right by the labyrinth's entrance. You can also bilocate in order to be in both an astral labyrinth and the physical realm at the same time. Theoretically, you could be fighting a witch and doing your homework at the same time, but that doesn't mean it's a good idea. It's best to focus when you are in a labyrinth so you don't get hurt.
Physical labyrinths
I am not a physical magi, so I don't know much about this. Physical labyrinths are in the physical realm, so they can be more physically dangerous, while astral labyrinths may be more mentally/spiritually dangerous. I would assume it's easier for civilians to get lost in these, especially if they have a witches Kiss. When dealing with a physical labyrinth, it is important to make sure everyone near is safe, and to check to make sure there's no one on the inside either. It would be very dangerous for any non magical hero.
Navigation
You may be wondering how you find these labyrinths in the first place. You can do so in a few slightly different ways. You could use your soul gem's glow. The brighter it glows, the closer you are. The way I use most is sort of a sixth sense. You know when a witch is near, and you can see the sigil in your mind's eye. With this sense, you can also tell which direction they are in and how strong they are and if they're a familiar. It's hard to explain it if you don't have that sense. Once you're in the labyrinth, you could get lost very easily. There tend to be long hallways or many rooms empty or filled only with familiars. There isn't any trick to finding your way that I know of yet. The best advice I can give to you is to look around and try and find places you haven't gone yet. They aren't (usually) mazes, so it shouldn't take an hour to find the witch or anything.
