i’m going to post some of my poetry

Family/Loved One(s) Protection Jar

What You’ll Need:

Herbs: (Amount of each herb is up to you, I used about a teaspoon of each except the powdered garlic, which I used a little more of compared to the other herbs)

Powdered Garlic

Ground Black Pepper

Dried Cloves

Crystallized or Ground Ginger

Optional: Cayenne Pepper to enhance each of the herbs power/ energy.

Stones/Crystals (Optional):

Hematite (1 or more, completely up to you)

Other Materials:

Blue or Black Candle.

Jar

Paper

Pen or pencil

Directions:

1. Place or pour all of your herbs and your stone(s) into the jar.

2. Write the names of those you wish to protect (include your name as well) onto pieces of paper (1 piece of paper for each person, so I’d recommend that each piece be small pieces of paper).

3. (For this step if you are interested, you can inscribe a protective sigil into the candle with a knife, but this is completely optional) Light your candle of choice and let the wax melt onto the inside of the jar’s lid. Make sure that you can still close the lid after melting it onto the inside of the lid.

4. Say this as many times as you wish:

“May those I love and myself be protected from all harm so that we may live safely”

5. Blow out the candle and place the pieces of paper into the jar and close the jar.

After the spell is cast, keep the jar in a safe place. I haven’t touched the jar since I casted the spell, so I’m not sure what will happen if you were to open the jar. But I recommend that you don’t open the jar since the candle wax and the incantation basically sealed the spell, meaning that if you were to open it, the spell might break or stop working. So just try to keep it off the side out of harm’s way.

If you have more questions or anything to add feel free to send me an ask!

i feel like we have to say this EVERY pride month which is sad but so many of you completely miss the point of pride

pride is not about being inclusive of every sexuality under the sun. its not about demanding lgbt people be loving and accepting of everyone. pride month represents the fight lgbt people have made and the long, long road we’ve come. it represents all the blood, sweat, and tears it took to be treated like human beings. it represents all the struggles we still face and hope to overcome.

so before you send hate to an lgbt person who said demisexuality wasn’t #valid or whatever the fuck yall are doing nowadays, and accuse them of not knowing what pride month is about, get off of tumblr and learn about lgbt history and the history behind pride month

preach.

can the art hoe side of tumblr please stop romanticising Vincent Van Gogh’s suicide attempt?he ate paint because he knew it was toxic. he didn’t do it because yellow was a pretty, happy colour and he didn’t think eating it would make him ‘happy inside’. he did it because he wanted to die. the medical notes of Dr Peyron, Vincent’s physician, revealed that Vincent wanted to poison himself by eating paint, which is why he wasn’t allowed into his studio while suffering from an attack. can we stop with the ‘find your yellow paint!’ suicide isn’t pretty. mental illnesses aren’t beautiful. depression isn’t to be sought after. stop romanticising.
