I n t r o d u c i n g
As the current political climate worsens and the #BLM protests continue, I wanted to become more politically active and help support protestors as best I can from where I live. In an effort to do this, I started the sideblog, Witches Against White Supremacy.
The premise of this sideblog is to help aid the bail out funds across the United States and help anti-racism and anti-fascist efforts.
How does this work?
Easy: donate a minimum of $5.00 USD to any of the fundraisers listed in our Navigation, submit a photo (blurring out any sensitive information minus your name OR receipt number) to our blog confirming the amount donated, and you’ll receive a divination reading by one of our moderators. Once you’ve submitted this, send us an ask stating that you donated, the amount you donated, along with your blog URL so we can verify your donation. Once you’ve done so, one of our moderators will claim your reading and we will queue the reading. Readings will be published 4 times a day. If you have any questions, feel free to send us an ask but PLEASE do not submit Anonymous questions for the donation verification.
Can I state a preference for a reader?
You can! If you’d like to state a preference for the deck used as well, check out our Moderators page for a list of decks each moderator will be using.
If you have any questions about this project, please send an ask either to my personal blog (pastellewitchcraft), OR to witches-against-white-supremacy. If you’d like to volunteer your time for this, please send an ask to my personal blog and we can coordinate!
Can I commission one of the mods to do a divination reading?
Short answer, yes. Long answer, no-yes? It’s up to the moderator to accept a commission or not and their prices can be regulated on their own terms. If you want to commission a mod, send the blog an ask and they’ll reply to you when they have the chance!
Moderator Position Regulations:
1. Must have a tumblr blog 2. Must have a Discord (for coordination purposes, I’ll be hosting a Discord server to coordinate reading claims) 3. Must be above the age of 21. 4. Must be Intermediate to Advanced experience with divination and witchcraft.
Note: Readings conducted are for entertainment purposes only! We will not conduct readings about legal matters, health, or third party members.
Fairy tales have always been with us. Apart from teaching moral lessons and practical cautions, they remain a source of wonder and inspiration that persists even in a modern age dominated by technology.
There is magic in these tales as well - spells and charms that aid the worthy and conquer obstacles, heal the ailing and bring wealth to the poor, thwart the wicked and exact terrible revenge, or grant someone their hearts' desire and make their dearest wishes come true.
I have created over a hundred such spells, inspired by the tales recorded by the Brothers Grimm and the folklore collected by Andrew Lang. One volume was published back in 2017 and another is forthcoming. If you're curious (and maybe a little bit daring), here are some previews of the spells to be found in the pages of The Sisters Grimmoire.
After all, who couldn’t use a bit of Happily Ever After?
A Bellyful of Stones - A curse to punish the greedy.
Roughskin - To protect and disguise oneself from those who mean to harm you.
Table of Plenty - To obtain needed money or provisions.
The Red Flower - For removing enchantment.
The Sorrow Pot - To relieve your sorrows and bring justice for a grievance.
The Wall of Thorns - To protect one’s home and property.
Make Sure You Lock Up - To set your household wards when you lock your front door.
The Ferryman's Curse - To curse another with the problems that plague your own life.
The Shining Web - To repel trouble from the home.
You can find more spells from The Sisters Grimmoire, Vol. I and potion and powder recipes from Pestlework by checking out the mid-month minisodes of Hex Positive, available on your favorite podcast platform.
All of my titles can be found on Amazon or ordered from the Willow Wings Witch Shop. (If you'd like to see them in your local witch shop, feel free to give the proprietor my contact information!)

Sea Magick
Altar for the Summer Solstice.
When Venus meets Mars in the soul, nothing stays innocent. This is where attraction becomes a hunt, where courtship is a ritual of blood, and where love doesn’t just want to be held—it wants to be devoured. These people don’t fall for others; they pursue, summon, and seduce like it’s second nature. Their affection is always dressed in tension. Even when they laugh, you feel the undercurrent of something primal, something that’s watching you—and planning what to do with you.
Their magnetism? It doesn’t ask for consent. It just walks into the room and owns it.
Love, to Venus-Mars people, is about mutual surrender disguised as dominance. The game of push and pull is sacred to them. Venus wants to be adored, touched, praised, while Mars wants to grab, own, and conquer. Together, they script a dance where sex becomes language, and intimacy becomes a battlefield.
If they’re not mentally fucking you while talking about mundane things, they’re not interested. And if you’re not craving them, needing them, dreaming about them—you’re already dead to them.
They don’t do casual. Even their one-night stands come with a spiritual hangover. Venus-Mars people ignite in ways that make the other person feel reborn and ruined at the same time. Their sex isn’t just about pleasure—it’s about possession. They want to hear you scream. They want to see your soul in your eyes. They want you wrecked, crying, and asking for more—and you will.
Because once you’ve had someone like this, everyone else tastes like dust.
The arguments are erotic. The tension is addictive. They love hard because they fight hard. And somewhere in the middle of that verbal war, they’re already unzipping your soul. These lovers don’t back down. They test you. They want to know if you’ll stand your ground. If you do, they’ll fall deeper. If you don’t? They’ll punish you with distance, with indifference—and with the knowledge that you were almost enough.
You’ll know them by their gaze. The kind that lingers a little too long. The kind that makes you feel exposed, like they can see through every lie you tell yourself. Their presence is a slow burn—they touch you without touching you, set your skin on fire just by existing too close. And once they want you? You’ll never be the same.
They don’t want peace. Not really. They want the passion that comes after the explosion. They want to fuck you on the floor after a fight, fingers digging into skin like claws, mouths pressed so hard it bruises. They want scars and bruises and proof that this isn’t some sanitized fantasy. Love, for them, has to be real. And real means ugly, messy, earth-shattering.
Venus-Mars people are artists of desire. They don’t just love you—they sculpt you. Mold you. Change you. And you’ll let them. Because their love feels like purpose. Like worship. Like you were made for them. Their beauty is never soft—it’s dangerous, carnal, and intoxicating. They’re the flame you know will burn you—and you walk into it anyway.
You don’t recover from a Venus-Mars person. You just learn how to live with the fact that you were once completely owned. And if they loved you—if they really loved you—you will feel it every time someone else tries to touch you. You’ll remember the look in their eyes. The way they gripped your waist. The way they whispered things that made your entire nervous system collapse.
And you’ll ache.
Because you know you’ll never have that again.

I have previously written (at length lol) about the creation of servitors, constructed-familiars, and other what-have-yous, but I wanted to touch on a more specific variety that I don't often see discussed: the muse servitor.
Given forth by the student, the muse servitor acts as liaison to and inspiration for all things creative or scientific. It is a piece of oneself separated and fed through acts of service, giving back to its creator further insight, passion and — under the right circumstance — dauntless motivation. Are they a necessity? No, far from. But for those creatives and scholars who are, by circumstance, removed from their specialized communities and/or who struggle to motivate themselves toward artistic ends without "external" validation, the muse servitor can fill this void. Their creation can also act as a mental jumpstart on a new project, a new field of study, or be used to reinvigorate passion after a period of stagnation.
The process of creation is relatively simple but can be complicated (non-derogatory) in any number of ways at the student's preference.
An item to embody the muse servitor — could be anything, but association is a powerful tool
A "house" for said item where offerings will be left — it can be elaborate or not; a box, a jug, a shelf, a cabinet, even a folder on a computer
An initial offering — again, could be anything; it could be your own work (preferred) or an artifact you are utilizing to begin a project or course of study
A catalyst — most often this is the student themselves, but you could channel from almost any source: the moon, the ground, the air, color theory, the concept of relativity, etc.; get as freaky as you want with it
Hold the item in hand and let your mind work. Channel from whichever medium you prefer, if you have chosen one. Let the thing take shape, applying what you must, see what sticks. You can verbalize your intentions or define the nature of the relationship if you'd like, but it isn't required. Once fully formed (by your own estimate), tie this mental/spiritual concept to the object. Again, you may voice what you are doing if you prefer. And in doing so, so is born the muse servitor: name it and place it in its "home."
Note: For those inclined toward the visual arts, this process can be done by way of practice also. For instance, you might draw, paint, sculpt, etc. a portrait of the servitor. If you have chosen to render it on a scale unbefitting a small "home," you may assign it an area by way of hanging or leaning the work against a wall, placing it on an altar, in a corner, etc. and arranging offerings around it. Writers or poets might use the written word to describe in detail the servitor's appearance and character. These collected pages may be housed as above or, as earlier stated, housed in a desktop folder
Present the initial offering. Verbalize, either mentally or aloud, what it represents. Promise to feed it when you can and ask that, should it begin to hunger, it inspire you to create, to read, to work. If you fail to meet its need, speak that it may go freely to the aether, return to the mind, or be left to its own devices.
Feed it regularly. Develop a rapport. Learn its preferences. Call to it when you need inspiration or guidance.
Et voilà!
The work is done.
Or just beginning, rather.
I would add that "feeding" the muse servitor can be done differently or by different means beyond the one "assigned." For instance, you can do a portrait, sure, or compose a song, but you could also create a concept board or a playlist. You might also create the muse with the intention of focusing on music, but feed it drawings or readings about quantum theory instead. Work done to completion is only a part of the servitor's purview. The process is important, too. And gathering concepts, exploring alternate modes of doing and expressing, researching. Anything that feeds a well-rounded understanding also feeds the muse. And with it, the muse gives back passion and inspiration enough to continue. To keep going, keep doing, keep searching. "If not for yourself, then for me."
Happy inspiring!
