Underrated Hero:
Punk Mambo
A master of Voodoo rites, Punk Mambo commands many magical abilities and defense, including enhanced senses, astral projection, a cast of illusions and spells, and more; her powers also appear to have arrested her aging.
When i moved into my new place there was mint planted directly into the flower bed which had grown out of control as it is an invasive plant. I spent about 5 hours digging it out and repotting it. there was more than i could pot so i froze and dried some too!!
the dried mint was the first thing i have added to my little apothecary and i’m very happy with it.
i gifted 3 pots to family and have kept the rest!
Named after the Water Nymph, Minthe which was super exciting when i moved in as i felt much closer to my Gods almost like a sign!!
Magical properties of mint:
communication and power to your own voice
wealth
love
luck
cleansing and protection
Medicinal Properties of Mint:
anti-inflammatory
helps with digestive health
soothes common cold symptoms
reduces allergy symptoms
boosts immune system
helps improve brain function
*A Little/Witch, Meets a Little/Warlock Friend, And they go on Fun adventures, creating stories together, understanding each others illnesses, having little words only they can communicate to each other, no one else would understand what they're talking about, and it'd be Magical, they'd live happily ever after maybe fall inlove and Die together in each others arms idk.*
The End.
I'm back with some #monthlymotivation!
From Gabrielle Bernstein's The Universe Has Your Back deck.
For my fellow #tarotnerds. A self-love spread for July
Only mildly related to my previous post, but I need more witchy friends/a community of some sort. I’m new to this and so I’m 🥲 confused and waddling about like a toddler on ice for the first time.
I’d be inclined to create a discord group, but I’d need help with bots and modding the whole thing me thinks.
Anyways uh, hey everyone 😭 who wants to be witchy friends (all skill levels)
Beginner Witch's Guide: Crystals
Today's witchy lesson is on crystals! Specifically, crystal shapes and their meanings, types of crystals and their meanings, and what you can use crystals for in your practice!
---
Basic Crystals and Their Meanings:
Clear Quartz -> Clear quartz is known for its ability to amplify intention and magnify the energy of other stones around it
Selenite -> Selenite is good for cleansing and purifying the area and objects around it
Amethyst -> Amethyst provides a peaceful and relaxing energy
Carnelian -> Carnelian is known for boosting creative energy and allowing for better creative flow
Rose Quartz -> Rose quartz is known for supporting and amplifying love of all kinds (self love, romantic love, platonic love, etc.)
Pyrite -> Pyrite (also known as 'Fool's Gold') is known for drawing in success and fortune
Obsidian -> Obsidian sucks in negative energy from the surrounding space providing protection from unwanted energies and negativity
---
Crystal Shapes and Meanings:
Cube -> Cube shaped crystals are often tied to grounding and would be good to use during meditation or meditative spellwork.
Sphere -> Sphere shaped crystals are thought to be more balanced with the energy they emit, splitting it evenly in all directions. They are good to use in grounding work (like meditation) or for protective spells/energy.
Pyramids -> Pyramid shaped crystals are most commonly associated with the idea of communing with celestial bodies or with the universe. Pyramid shaped crystals would be beneficial to use in deity worship or working with deities for spellwork.
Tower/Point -> Tower and point shaped crystals are known to amplify intention and point it in a certain direction. In my opinion, they are the most universally helpful shape and so can be used for a variety of spells.
Palm Stones -> Palm Stones are flat disks of stone that can be placed in one's palm and are often used to provide soothing energy. When placed in the palm they can be rubbed to provide therapeutic relief in moments of anxiety.
Cluster -> A cluster is a mix between a sphere and a point. The energy is emitted in all directions, but not evenly. They are most beneficial for spells and powers you want amplified, but don't need to be even or concentrated in one particular area.

General Crystal Tips:
When purchasing crystals, make sure the ones you are buying are coming from reputable, ethical sources and are actual crystals!
Before letting any crystal come in contact with the sun or with water, make sure it is safe to do. Some crystals are known to leech harmful chemicals or elements into water when submerged while some will just erode away in minutes. Some crystals can also fade if left in direct sunlight for a long time (amethyst is one of these so keep that in mind!)
If you do not like working with crystals, think something works better for you than crystals, or simply are just not interested in working with crystals, they are not necessary for the craft! Crystals (like any other witchy tool) are optional but can not only provide useful energies or attributes, but also just look super cool and are great to put on altars or in spaces around your home!
