In Greek Mythology, Zeus Got Played By Prometheus So The Gods Got The Bones Of Animals As Offerings While

In Greek mythology, Zeus got played by Prometheus so the gods got the bones of animals as offerings while humans got the meat. Sharing your meal with the gods is such a wholesome offering and one the gods appreciate very much

“Don’t give Gods leftovers this is disrespectful” since when is leftover food, the food you would eat yourself, bad?

It’s not rotten, it hasn’t gone bad, it’s not from a trashcan, it’s not food for animals. Like… this argument that all offerings have to be brand new and freshly bought has always bothered and worried me. How privileged and rich do you need to be to impose this on people?

Gods don’t care if your food is freshly bought/made/harvested or not. We have records of Romans and Greeks sharing their home meals with Deities as well as cooking for Deities. Rustic worship existed, which sort of implies that Gods were accessible to people regardless of their income. It has never, ever been stated anywhere, unless you somehow magically provide a reliable source against it, that leftovers are bad as an offering.

You are gifting something you could have eaten yourself. You are sharing food. I don’t know what world this is disrespectful in.

Witch Tip 109

Music.

Makes.

Everything.

Better.

Wanna hex someone? Play [insert some sort of rap/angry/music that makes you wanna fight here]

Wanna banish a demon? The only acceptional music is the Doom Ethernal soundtrack babyyyyy [or cocomelon...]

Want some self love or happiness? Play some hyperpop or that pop music from the 2010s [jessie j is specifically good for this]

Need some protection? Play some boss music from your favorite video game [or whatever makes you feel less vulnerable]

See, music can fix everything!

Knots of Chaos Curse

This is a fabulous spell to use on someone who hurts others for his or her own benefit.

Materials:

- Length of jute or hemp cord cut to the height of your target.

Find the center of the cord and tie the first knot there, saying:

"By knot of one, you come undone,

Tie the second knot to the right of the first, saying:

By knot of two, chaos brews,

Tie the third knot to the left of the first, saying:

By knot of three, you'll want to flee,

Tie the fourth knot to the right of the second saying:

But knot of four just lock the doors,

Now alternating left and right, tie the remaining knots as follows chanting the related verse.

The fifth knot:

By knot of five, you lose your drive,

The sixth knot:

By knot of six, your mind plays tricks,

The seventh knot:

By knot of seven, you'll wish for heaven,

The eight knot:

But knot of eight just slams that gate.

The ninth knot:

By knot of nine, your strength declines,

The tenth knot:

By knot of ten, you cannot win,

The eleventh knot:

By knot of eleven, you'll wish for seven,

The twelfth knot:

But that is shelved by knot of twelve.

The thirteenth knot:

It's the thirteenth knot that does you in

And leaves you paying for your sins.

It brings you right down to your knees

And leaves you begging for release.

But none shall come until you've paid

For what you've done, the games you've played,

The folks you've hurt, the lives you've frayed.

And only then shall you receive

Your life again and a reprieve."

Bury a hole at least nine inches deep and bury the cord in the ground.

The Daemonic Witxh's notes: this is a very effective curse and well deserved for those that abuse and harm others on a regular basis. As far as disposal goes, if you don't want to bury it or cannot, you can throw it somewhere else. Get creative. Think of your enemy and the best place to put it. If you feel you might want to untie it at a later date, you can keep it somewhere. I have a cigar box I use for such spells. Also, you can dress the cord in a type of oil after. Banishing, confusion, domination oil, etc. I've had this in one of my grimoires for years and this has become a favorite!

As I always recommend, strengthen your shields/wards and make sure you are doing protection spells on yourself regularly.

So fun fact about my practice:

I don't like having practical tools with only magical use. My athame is a plain old pocketknife. I use it to physically cut stuff. My normal broom is blessed & is what I cleanse with (so is my vacuum, because, carpet). My ritual jewelry is worn daily. My ritual mugs are just my morning coffee mugs, but I pick out which one is best for the working I'm doing (Death work, Ouija mug). And my herbs, hoooo boy, it's my normal spice rack.

Just because it's mundanely practical & useful, doesn't mean it isn't magical. If anything, being interacted with more makes it more powerful.

This is my rant, so as per ushe,

Gentle witch little things

Simple things you can do to bring more love and positivity into the world:

enchant the bus or train you’re on, so that everybody has a pleasant day or a safe travel home

paint protective sigils in the misty windows of buses or shops when it rains, and leave words of encouragement and praise on public bathrooms’ mirrors

bless passing ambulances and firefighter trucks with speed and safety for their patients/destination

wear an enchanted lipstick/gloss for your smile to brighten the day of everybody you meet

enchant your spare change so that it gives luck to the beggars you donate it to; they need it, don’t they?

actually, just enchant your money, so that retail and low-wage workers can have a better day when they serve you

leave blessed acorns and harmless trinkets in various places like buses or waiting rooms; give other people something to wonder about and make their day, and kids an item to roll in their hands mindlessly

bless food and leave it for stray animals; let birds be messangers of hope and miraclous event for everybody that sees them

whisper encouragement to trees and grass you pass by; let them know someone cares, someone sees their beauty, and awaits their bloom

smile at children and pets; provide them with the positive energy that the world is trying to kill in them

leave motivational notes, praise and silly drawings charged with love and hope on post-it notes as you go; they can brighten the day of those that find them

In order to have you do a reading for me do I need to pay (sorry if it’s a dumb question)

No dumb questions here!

I do pay-what-you-want readings, using Kofi (linked in my bio as "Buy me a coffee") as a virtual tip jar. Basically, you tip any amount and get a full reading regardless of how much you paid. So you can get one for like 1€.

Aura/Energy Color Meanings

This list is based off of resources I have found as well as my personal experiences.

As with all correspondences, this is a place to start from, not the end-all be-all of color meanings.

This list generally assumes that brighter colors are healthier and more positive, while duller colors are negative and less positive. Use your intuition to determine the true role a color plays.

Interpreting Colors

OVERLAYS If one color is covering another, this can indicate outer appearance, how others perceive them, or a blockage that is preventing the inner color from shining.

COMBINATIONS If one color is mixed with another in stripes, lines, or spots, the person presents both qualities in equal or similar measure.

MIXING If two or more colors appear to blend together, this can indicate strong balance and intermingling of personal energies.

SOLID If a person primarily presents only one color with no overlays, they are honestly projecting their inner energies.

The Colors

BRIGHT RED A healthy ego. Strong passion. Highly grounded. A survivalist’s spirit, highly realistic. Can indicate a powerful, competitive, energetic person. Indicates confidence. Strong personal power. Related to warriors, battle, and love. Someone who is used to being noticed.

A color of balance and harmony. A willingness to change and transform. Fertility, creativity, freshness. A restful, healing color.

Chalkboards In Witchcraft

Chalkboards In Witchcraft

So, a couple of years ago around Halloween, my local crafts store was selling cute small wall-hangings that functioned as chalkboards. My first idea was to doodle silly things, but right after that I thought “wouldn’t this make a perfect and practical way of writing and hanging sigils on my wall? I could change the sigils whenever I wanted. And it was totally reusable and movable. Now, it’s become a staple of protection magic in my craft. You can enchant chalk and use different colors of it for different sigils. I’m going to show you a standard one I used to use (not showing you my current protection sigil on the chalkboard for privacy reasons).

Chalkboards In Witchcraft

It’s so practical! Lmk if you try this!

Best of luck witches! (Also, a pack of these boards only cost me a few dollars).
