I warded against energy vamps. Someone I suspected might be trying to do that's stuff ended up getting nausea and diarrhea when we hung out. Now that's what I call a SHITTY WARD 😂 💩

"Intention is everything in witchcraft" If you hold a pencil to a candle wick with the intention of lighting it and just hope real hard.... It's not gonna light.

The terror of posting a response video to another witch's video Like crap... Didn't I cover all the things I had to say and be "nice enough" to not get cancelled 😂 How many times is it appropriate to say "this is my take" without getting annoying

Witch Tip: Simple talismans can be made by folding sheets of aluminum foil into a thin, metal tablet. You can then use a toothpick or pencil to engrave symbols or sigils onto the surface. #WitchSky #OccultSky

❓ QUESTION ❓ I've heard and been taught two ways of thinking; magical tools like scissors, knives, etc that double as household tools should: 1. Be used only for magic 2. Be woven in with daily life What do you think & why? #witchsky #witchcraft #folkmagic

Hi everyone! I'm Marco, a magic practitioner/witch. I primarily focus on folk magic, but that's not all I practice. I'll mostly post about 📚 Books ✍🏽 Folklore 🔮 Magic Practices 📜 Magic Recipes 🧠 and Theory! I'm a gay (partnered) Texan in the ATX area, and always open to meeting other witches!

Soap box post (apparently) If you're an invited guest in a tradition, DO NOT argue with or speak over someone born into that tradition when they talk about who is and isn't allowed to practice. It is not, hasn't been, and will never be a conversation that you have authority in.

WITCH CONFESSION In stories and spells, when they say "recite the lords prayer backwards" I never know if it's by word order or letter order. "I am so hungry." Would it be... "hungry so am I" Or "yrgnuh os ma I"

It's okay if you can't pull a card every day. It's okay if sometimes you feel a little less connected. You're still a witch on the days where clouds are just clouds and not omens from gods. There will always be herbs to ground up and candles to be lit; your path is your choice, not your chore

Did you know the longer you interact with an object, your brain starts to process it in the same area it processes faces? MEANING... Animism can be overwhelming as an idea, but focus on the relationships you HAVE, not how many you NEED to make. Don't shirt circuit your mind, slow down babes

A wild cherry tree in the Ouseburn already starting to flower. According to Mrs Burke's Language of Flowers dictionary, white cherry trees meant both 'good education' and 'deception'! In folklore, the cuckoo must eat cherries three times before it can stop singing. #FolkloreThursday

Three white cherry tree blossoms on an otherwise bare tree.

Hey #witchsky I just want to take advantage of #WitchMadness to remind you of something important; if you have never been in a #Coven, and group magic is what you think you're looking for, pay attention to any red/green flags you see, and research very well about any local Covens you're looking. 1/

Folks, please be careful when following recipes you find online! A post is going around the #witchsky tag that says to mix vinegar and bleach, which is dangerous and potentially deadly. I don't think OP meant any harm, but I want to make sure no one gets hurt. www.healthline.com/health/bleac...

If you notice a pungent smell after mixing household cleaners, you should immediately leave the area and try to breathe in fresh air. Here's why.

Witchcraft ≠ New Age Ideology. Witches don't inherently: - eat organic/"clean"/etc - strive to ascend their consciousness - do shadow work -ascribe to high/low vibration rhetoric -abstain from alcohol/tobacco Of course witches CAN do those things, but it's not foundational to the craft(1/2)
