Void cat but space, with moon for eyes~
hello everyone and happy pride!! 🌈
this is a project i’ve been working on for a few months now and am so excited to finally share the completed version with everyone!!! i’m a sucker for pride flag sticker/etc. designs and i decided to create some of my own - they are subtle enough to be safe for anyone who maybe can’t normally buy pride stuff, but still recognizable within the community (hopefully lmao)
then, of course i wanted to combine them all into one big piece that would still be subtle - i was inspired by those vintage butterfly species posters and wanted to recreate a version of that with my pride butterflies! the labels underneath each butterfly are short descriptions of what each flag represents, to also help keep things under the radar. super special thanks to @yourlocaltrylingual for helping me with the french translations <3333
i hope everyone is having, and continues to have a safe and happy pride month, i couldn’t have asked for a better community to be a part of!
❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
A guide to Protection part 2
The moon is waning so what better time to do protection spells than now? (you can do protection magick whenever, I just like a little boost from the moon phase)
In my previous post I covered some warding methods and now I’m gonna go over some spell recipes
Protection oil
honestly, chef’s kiss, iconic, it’s probably my most used oil. You may apply some on your skin, anoint candles, talismans, charms, etc.
what you’re gonna need:
- a carrier oil of your choice. Here are some of my favorites :
castor oil is great for absorbing negativity
coconut oil has protective properties
olive oil is an all purpose oil
sunflower oil
almond oil
- essential oils:
some great essentials oils are lemon, peppermint, sage, frankincense, orange, cinnamon, benzoin and cedarwood
- herbs:
cloves, basil, rosemary, garden sage, angelica, mint, bay leaves
Use whatever you have on hand, it doesn’t need to be expensive. Some of these ingredients are probably in your kitchen already.
I dropped in a small piece of tourmaline for some extra spice
After it was done I used a black yarn to tie a bay leaf around the jar
Black salt
Black salt is a must have in a witch’s apothecary and it’s fairly easy to make.
You’re gonna need a mortar and pestle to grind up the ingredients;
- any kind of salt,
- ashes from previous works or incense,
- activated charcoal (it’s not necessary so don’t stress if you don’t have it around)
- frankincense resin (again, not necessary)
- crushed eggshells
While grinding the ingredients listed above make sure to focus on the intention of being protected, meditate on it if you can
You may sprinkle some black salt in the corners of your house, at your doorstep, anywhere really (don’t add salt to plant soil though)
Rosemary water
Rosemary can be used to cleanse your aura and promotes protection
Add rosemary leaves to a cup of boiling water and let it steep for about 20 minutes
Pour the infusion into a spray bottle and you’re done!
Given the fact that rosemary water is great for the scalp and stimulates hair growth I’d recommend this method of cleansing and protecting to people who are in the broom closet.
Eggshell spell
I don’t neccesarily enjoy making spell jars and I find using an eggshell instead of a jar really convenient (and cheap lol)
Cleanse the egg and add salt/ black salt and some protective herbs, one at a time, thinking about what each thing represents and how it relates to your intention. Seal it with wax and you’re done!
Ok so this is just amazing
Cannot believe this person just welded a forking peacock
Sick sick sick of possibility of being fucking recorded every waking second by tiktok obsessed quasi celebs. Video titled something like "Caught him thinking he's the main character" but it was just a kid wearing headphones, looking out the bus window. Of course it was posted without his knowledge. Stop recording strangers and everything you see, nobody gives a shit and not everyone is happy to be on tiktok or youtube because of a moron with no braincells and an account. What could be a forgettable awkward moment is now permanently there for the victim of lackabrainis infested idiot to get anxious about forever.

I had a dream that the king and the queen of a small country had a daughter. They needed a son, a first-born son, so in secret, without telling anyone of their child’s gender, they travelled to the nearby woods that were rumoured to house a witch.
They made a deal with that witch. They wanted a son, and they got one. A son, one made out of clay and wood, flexible enough to grow but sturdy enough to withstand its destined path, enchanted to look like a human child. The witch asked for only one thing, and that was for their daughter.
They left the girl readily.
The witch raised her as her own, and called her Thyme. The princess grew up unknowing of her heritage, grew up calling the witch Mama, and the witch did her very best to earn that title.
She was taught magic, and how to forage in the woods, how to build sturdy wooden structures and how to make the most delicious stews. The girl had a good life, and the witch was pleased.
The girl grew into a woman, and learned more and more powerful magics, grew stronger from hauling wood and stones and animals to cook, grew smarter as the witch taught her more.
She learned to deal with the people in the villages nearby, learned how to brew remedies and medicines and how to treat illness and injury, and learned how to tell when someone was lying.
Every time the pair went into town, the people would remark at just how similar Thyme was to her mother.
(Thyme does not know who and what she is. She does not know that she was born a princess, that she was sold. She only knows that one night after her mother read her a story about princesses and dragons, her mother had asked her if she ever wanted to be a princess.)
((Thyme only knows that she very quickly answered no. She likes being a witch, thank you very much, she likes the power that comes with it and the way that she can look at things and know their true nature.))
The witch starts preparing the ritual early, starts collecting the necessities in the winter so they can be ready by the fall equinox. Her daughter helps, and does not ask what this is for, just knows that it is important.
The witch looks at Thyme, both their hands raised into the air over a complicated array of plants, tended carefully to grow into a circle, and says, sorry.
Finally an excuse to share some cute mushroom pics I took last fall
