Seriously…Don’t. These are things that I have stupidly done, or I have seen someone else do. It would be wise to listen.
Do not give spirits your name: To many people and cultures, your name holds a lot of power. I may not know much of anything about the fae or fae witchcraft in general but I have read many witches are not a fan of giving out their name. Lots of witches go by their ‘witch’ name for this reason. I’ve even read you have to say you may call me (insert name here). But I don’t even like the idea of calling people by their name when we suspect spiritual activity. Imagine hearing a malicious entity calling you by your name. Growling it. Whispering it in your ear. I don’t even like when people here know my damn name when they’re alive. Imagine unseen forces having you, having power over you by your name. Don’t give them your damn name.
Do not challenge a spirit without knowing what you’re getting into: I stupidly called out a poltergeist in my spouses family home and I called it verbatim, “a little bitch”. Talk shit get hit still applies and I got socked in the eye. My eye was aching and burning for minutes after I said what I said. The spirit didn’t want to be seen and I was threatening it. Be prepared for anything to retaliate. Cause it just might.
Never Panic: I don’t care that you’re scared. I’ve been scared. I’ve been choked. You. Don’t. Panic. You’re going to do nothing but feed the damn thing that’s scaring you and that is no good. You won’t think straight when you panic, you won’t be rational if you panic and you can’t communicate well when you panic. It is okay to take a deep breath even right then and there. And just try and calm yourself. It’s okay to be scared, but do not panic.
Don’t be afraid to stand your ground: Let them know you’re not to be fucked with. Don’t falter to them. Speak your piece and be firm and kind. If they are posing an issue, you let them know you’re not going to stand for it. Stand your ground.
Don’t just assume the ghost you called for is there: Spirits are just as capable of lying just like you are. You ever hear your name with a voice you’re familiar with? You ever hear whispers in your ears that sounds like someone. Make sure you know you’re speaking to who you wanted to speak to.
Please, don’t joke about someone’s weight, facial features, insecurities, trauma, appearances, misery and scars. Know that those things are very sensitive. Please be kind always.
Are you struggling with some financials right now? Is that making you feel like you aren’t being a “good enough” witch?
Copy all those spells you’ve been saving online into your Grimoire / Book of Shadows
If you have altar, take some time to tidy it up. You’ll appreciate having a clear space the next time that you go to work.
Meditate. It’ll clear things from your mind & give you a chance to feel refreshed.
Go for a walk! Either in nature or in the city to reconnect with your environment’s energy. If you have pets, they’ll love this one.
Reset your crystals with new intentions. This will have them work in a better way for you.
Look up the upcoming moon phase & mark it in your journal / planner. Plan out the ritual & tarot readings for it.
Go through your tarot journal (if you have one) & find any of the cards that keep coming up in your readings. Do a reading to figure out why it keeps popping up in your readings & being a creeper!
Take a bath to cleanse / purify yourself with the water. It helps more than you would think.

Hi, all. I apologize for my absence. I know I went AWOL for what seems like forever. I've been going through a lot of bad stuff these past few years (still hanging on by a thread) but I'm hoping to come back and reconnect with my crafts and witchy communities. I noticed that lot of blogs that I used to follow are no longer active. So, if you're an active blog that touches on any of these witchy paths, I would appreciate it if you could throw a like or reblog this post so I could follow you! ✨Kitchen ✨Green ✨Lunar ✨Tech ✨Shadow work ✨Charms ✨Hexes & Curses ✨Hearth ✨Hedge ✨Tarot ✨Elemental ✨Spoonie I'm looking to expand my old crafts and explore new ones. Thanks all and hope to get reacquainted soon. 🖤
“I would visualize having directors interested in me and people that I respected saying, “I like your work.” I would visualize things coming to me that I wanted and I had nothing at that time but it just made me feel better. At that time, all it really was for me was making me feel better. I would drive home and think, “Well, I do have these things. They’re out there, I just don’t have a hold of them yet but they’re out there.”
“I wrote myself a check for $10 million for acting services rendered and I gave myself 3 years. I dated it Thanksgiving 1995 and I put it in my wallet and it deteriorated and deteriorated. Then, just before Thanksgiving 1995, I found out that I was going to make $10 million on Dumb and Dumber.”
“It happened around 5 years ago but it’s sort of like a mantra. You repeat it to yourself every day. “Music is my life. Music is my life. The fame is inside of me. I’m going to make a number one record and the number one hit.” And it’s not yet, it’s a lie. You’re saying a lie over and over and over again but then one day, the lie is true.”
“Create the highest, grandest vision possible for your life, because you become what you believe.”
Like attracts like. You have to understand: you are a magnet. Whatever you are, that’s what you draw to you. If you’re negative, you’re going to draw negativity. You positive? You draw positive. You’re a kind person? Most people are kind to you…If you see it in your mind, you can hold it in your hand. This is so true.”
“When I was very young I visualized myself being and having what it was I wanted. Mentally I never had any doubts about it. The mind is really so incredible. Before I won my first Mr. Universe title, I walked around the tournament like I owned it. The title was already mine. I had won it so many times in my mind that there was no doubt I would win it. Then when I moved on to the movies, the same thing. I visualized myself being a famous actor and earning big money. I could feel and taste success. I just knew it would all happen.”
“At the same time, it could be what you don’t want as well. Why am I always broke? Why don’t I get girls? You’re going to attract that. You’re imagining yourself being broke, you’re imagining yourself not attracting girls and that’s going to be your result. If that law is true, then you might as well just think about what you want. In a nutshell, that’s what we did.”
“I believe you can speak things into existence.”
“Your thoughts create your life, and so you have to think positive thoughts,” All the time – you have to force yourself to think positive at times. And so I do a lot of affirmation… “I am whole. I am good on my own. I love myself. I love you, Jennifer. I love the universe, the universe loves me. God loves me. I am youthful and timeless at every age. I am enough"”.
“Like attracts like. You have to understand: you are a magnet. Whatever you are, that’s what you draw to you. If you’re negative, you’re going to draw negativity. You positive? You draw positive. You’re a kind person? Most people are kind to you…If you see it in your mind, you can hold it in your hand. This is so true.”
“Imagination is everything. It is the preview of life’s coming attractions.”
“It’s the repetition of affirmations that leads to belief. And once that belief becomes a deep conviction, things begin to happen.”
“If you have a clear picture in your head that something is going to happen and a clear belief that it will happen no matter what then nothing can stop it. It is destined to happen. It’s perfect.”
