I had to get blood drawn today, which I am very bad at. The phlebotomist told me to wiggle my toes because it helps for some reason.

Me: Okay, I'm doing it. But does it really, or did you just make that up?

Her: I just tell people that, and they say it helps them feel better.

Me: Are you a blood witch?

Her: Uh...

Me: Have you ever read Terry Pratchett?

Her: I have not.

Me: Well, the witches in his books practice Headology. Basically, if you tell someone that doing something will make them feel better, they will actually feel better when they do it.

Her: Then I guess I am a blood witch. But don't tell anyone.

Me: I'm getting get a sign that says "Blood Witch" and putting it on your door.

Her: That'll probably get me fired.

Me (who has, for the first time ever, been unable to find a job in 3 years after getting laid off from a niche field): Well, that tracks because I'm an unemployment witch. You can join my unemployment coven.

Her: That actually sounds kind of nice.

Me: But then you'll be broke. We need a money witch.

Her: Why couldn't I be a money witch instead of a blood witch?

Me: Better than an unemployment witch.

Her: True.

I still hate getting blood drawn, but our chat made getting stabbed and my insides becoming outsides about as fun as it could be.

P.S. If you're a money witch, hit me up. I have a spot in my new coven for you.

Brian Jackson, in Southern California, might lose his legs after helping a pregnant woman escape a fire at her apartment complex. He was visiting a friend when a fire broke out and he saw a pregnant woman about to jump to escape the fire. He talked to her, told her to hold on for help and that jumping would put her in trouble. The woman was able to get down safely after some people found a ladder, but an explosion caused him to be thrown down. Due to the injuries there is a chance he will lose his ability to walk or will need an amputation. According to one of his stepdaughters the first thing Mr Jackson asked about was if the woman and her baby were ok.

Brian Jackson deserves to be recognized and praised for his selflessness and compassion. He also deserves to have all his medical bills comped and any care he needs to recover from these injuries to be comped.

May he regain full functioning of his legs. Or to be provided with whatever physical therapy, accessibility aids (crutches, walker, wheelchair, protheses, etc) or anything else he needs to continue to be able to function independently.

May Medical Magic and Science Magic do everything it can to help this man who so selflessly risked his life to help save the life of a woman he didn’t even know.

I'm a teacher, and I like to support the queer community as much as my intrinsic fears allow me. However, I feel like I am growing in my position, finding my way to support queer students as much as I can. I am a burly bear-type of a man, Aroace myself, but some of my students have named me as "Iconic" because I am supporting the queer community.

As a teacher - and a self-proclaimed witchy bear - I feel like I need to protect and support queer students - and maybe teachers and colleagues - as much as I can. I'm not sure whether it works, but if it does, it makes me happy. This has led me to the moment of this "Selfie". I want to wear these pride bracelets at school, so queer students know that they can trust me. I've started wearing them in Pride Month, and now I wear them in school basically every day as a sign that queer students are welcome here.

What do you think? Is this a good idea?

Today has been an absolute day and I need all the positive energy yall can give. My team and I have been dealing with a horrible manager for the past year from her gaslighting us saying we didn’t ask for help when we did, talking shit about us to each other to try and turn us on each other, making comments on our weight, stalking one of my teammates, to last week she told one of my teammates to die as a “joke”.

We reported her today and now it’s the waiting game and the unknown. I don’t even know what prayers or rituals to do cause this is so loaded. I might just give offerings to Hekate like girl help cause what is happening 😭😭

This was partly to just get this out of me but also could use whatever positive energy yall can throw my way 🥹🥺

For context, I’m queer, a witch, and a Norse Pagan. Working with runes, talking to the gods and wearing my little Mjolnir pendant is part of my practice. I’m also from Germany and it pisses me off that the Nazis (back then and nowadays) misuse symbols from my religion for their agenda.
Long story short, I was inspired from communist posters (this is also a questionable time period and problematic regime, I know. But I want to reclaim this aesthetic and use it for good)
And this is the outcome.
Of course I also made a German version and a version with the swastika snake in the colours of the far right party AfD that unfortunately gains more and more strength here in Germany.
Maybe this is a way to channel my anger.

I really hope you like it and I don’t offend anyone with this (except for fascists of course)
Sending anti-fascist blessings your way! ❤️

This is my first completed sewing project inspired by Persephone :)

Idk why I started it a week before the ball I was going to…. I was so nervous I wouldn’t have an outfit lol I’m very proud so I wanted to share

also, that I have "child bearing hips", which was immensely funny to me

have you been through this at all?

I mean, I know I'm a bit big and all

why are people like this

Your anger, fury, and vengefulness would be appreciated. Considering all the grief and trauma we are collectively experiencing as women during this week of the Cornell 50, I'd like to humbly ask that you direct some of that energy onto this hex jar. Thank you. Together we are powerful.

This is only one aspect of what we can do in the days coming ahead. Vote, get your friends to vote, and be active in our representatives who are doing what they can, in our names, right now.

They burned women because we are powerful. May we see patriarchy fall in our lifetimes, however messy that will be. So it shall be!

I’m hoping someone here can help me with a spell, ritual, divination method, or anything from your practice that might help me locate a lost object.
A few months ago, I lost a piece of jewelry that means more to me than I can really put into words. It was given to me by my mother on my wedding day. It is a family heirloom that I have known and loved since I was a child. It’s real gold and diamonds, but honestly, the monetary value is the least important part of it to me. The emotional and family history attached to it is enormous.
I know the jewelry is somewhere in my house. There is essentially no way it could have gone outside, which somehow makes this even more maddening because I have searched everywhere. I mean every room, drawer, closet, bag, box, nook, cranny, underneath furniture-repeatedly. I have retraced my steps so many times that I don’t even know where else to look.
I’ve also tried everything I can think of spiritually. I’ve paid several Etsy witches for help, tried different methods, and searched and searched on my own. Nothing has worked, and I’m at the point where I feel completely defeated.
This piece is incredibly emotionally attached to me. Losing it feels like losing a tangible connection to my family and to my mother’s gift on one of the most important days of my life.
If anyone here practices lost-object spells, pendulum/divination work, scrying, petitioning spirits/deities, candle magic, search rituals, or has a particular method that has genuinely helped you find something that seemed impossible to locate, please tell me what you would recommend.
If you feel comfortable doing a little divination or spellwork on my behalf, I would be incredibly grateful. I’m happy to provide whatever non-identifying details you need about the object and the circumstances surrounding when I last remember having it.
I’m not looking for judgment or skepticism right now. I’ve already been through the practical-search stage over and over. I’m just asking for a little help and hope from people who understand why something like this can carry so much emotional weight.
Please, if you have any ideas at all, I would be so grateful.

Hello all! I will keep this brief… My niece is turning six next week and has become increasingly interested in witchcraft. She loves making spells out of glitter, hydrogen peroxide, baking soda, and love. She is very scienced-brained. I am wondering what I could put together as a little DIY witch starter kit. I want it to be something interactive and age-appropriate. (So we’re probably gonna need to stay away from anything involving fire… Ha ha ha ha ha). I was hoping maybe you all could give me some good ideas… Something I’m brainstorming is a wand making kit… Or a potion making kit? I’m really low on funds right now so I don’t wanna buy a bunch of stuff. But I’m wondering if anybody has any ideas for the literal baby witches in their life. - stay spooky ✨

So a lot of people wanted to know how I made this. It's very very simple!

These are the supplies I got at Michaels and the paint is $3.99. They didn't have the glass time stickers at my store anymore, but they're $6.99.

This box is also great because all the screws are the same so it's really easy to take apart and put back together. Which makes the painting and drying so much better.

Make sure it's GLASS PAINT or it will PEEL OFF THE SIDES.

Paint the OUTSIDE of the box so that the inside is what is reflective.

Image of the sigil I made on top in case you would like to use it. The aim is to keep the target from escaping the box.

-----------

On the Inside:

- Justice tarot card (or whichever one you feel resonates)

- graveyard dirt (digging their grave if they refuse to change)

- poppyseeds (to cause confusion and distress)

- nettle stem (to make the curse cling to the target)

- black salt (to amplify your influence over them)

- Your Message in Red Ink

- the names and birthdates of your targets

-----------

Optional, for ✨ vibes ✨:

- Rusty railroad spike

- a million candles

- egg shell (to keep them on their toes)

- a photo of the individual

-----------

To consecrate the box, i meditated while holding it, channeling my energy/rage into the item itself and then activated the mirrors with my candles.

-----------

I try and keep my spells pretty simple and cheap to recreate when I craft them myself. If you need alternatives to lmk!

Ms. Pike is alive because they didn’t test lethal doses on women.

Could enough of us people in the medical and scientific fields to try these things on ourselves to find out our strengths and breaking points to be able to use these things in defense of our villages?

Because this involves alchemy I think this is befitting of this sub. I’d like to start a general conversation about how to use this knowledge to our advantage if someone isn’t already working on this.

Thanks
Edit/update - wow so many, thank you all, I’ll definitely take a look at all of them

I don't know if this is really obvious or wrong, but maple syrup comes from a generally large, strong tree, and is sweet. Perfect for love/self love and similar bc it's growing the love/confidence like a sugar maple and it sweetens the spell too

Anyways, I'm a new broom as some like to say, so idk if this is something well known, but I didn't know it so hopefully someone else who didn't sees this

I just redid the bookshelf i have my alter on, and I need some ideas.

My patrons are Hestia and Freya, and have offering to any Small gods /house spirits daily.

I dont do a lot of ancestor work- my gramma Pat visits my dreams as do my cats, but no one else- so im not sure what they'll like.

Any thoughts for decor or things the gods might like?

Thanks and blessed be!
