> What brings you joy? 💌

whenever someone notices hidden details about me, specially if I didn't notice it first

there's nothing that makes me happier than my books and stuffed animals <3

The smell of rain.

Getting the best table in a cafe.

Getting to use that esoteric knowledge.

A comfortable silence between you and a loved one.

Your favorite song turned up loud.

Sunsets and the smell of the ocean and the sound of the waves crashing

I love when we stretch, especially in the mornings, it’s so cute.

I love how we leave flowers for loved ones. Flowers are nature’s beauty and I think it’s a really sweet gesture

I Like how we journal. Like, we just write whatever we want just for ourselves to see.

I like the idea of a chair. It’s just like a piece of elevated ground for us to sit on.

I love mountains overlooking oceans or massive bodies of water.

I love putting Vaseline on my lips because they feel soft after.

I really really love books. I won’t go into it because so many already have.

I love photography and sculptures. Wowow, I looovee sculptures.

Starting a new notebook

Pens with *that* glide. Pen snobs know

Random acts of kindness

Seeing people achieve a goal - big or small, just seeing their face when they realise they did it

Light reflected on water - Moonlight, city lights, doesn’t matter

When someone *really* enjoys something I cooked/baked for them.

Feeling the sun on the back of my neck

The smell of fresh laundry… Oh! Fresh bed sheets

The way new books smell

One time, I had a really Really sweet raspberry. Like, this raspberry was probably the best thing I’ve ever had so far in my years of living. It was a cathartic experience, eating that raspberry.

watching my cat yawn (it’s adorable)

I love writing cursive t’s and I’s and I love when people say “crossing ts and dotting i’s”

i think jack o lanterns look cheerful

I really like the taste and texture of mushrooms (:

the sound of waves

i absolutely adore clementines (: i eat them till i get sick

I love eye contact. It makes me feel really human in a way I can’t describe. It makes me feel smiley and warm inside

I love looking at the moon or a cloud and thinking someone else is looking at the same thing I am right now while being so far away.

I love it when people make food for people, or just randomly bring over food, it’s such a cute way of caring.

I love when you look at someone and they look at you back and you’re just kinda squinting or raising your eye brows or smiling at each other.

I love when people do something cute or embarrassingly cute and you’re the only one that sees it

The warm sun on your skin after being in a cold building. Dancing. Storytelling. Iced coffee. Sunflowers. Thinking about Jesus. Poems that reach into your brain and pull your heart out. Mismatched teacups. Laughing until you cry. Texts from friends you haven’t heard from in a while. Notes in books from past owners. Summertime. Ballets. Dogs.

I love the feeling of sun on my skin

Your blog makes me happy

Watching rain turn to snow makes me happy

The smell of espresso makes me happy.

I love when people out of nowhere start whispering.

This one is kinda weird but I love when people have physical reactions like flinching ever so slightly or moving out of the way.

I love dough. And I love when I’m making dough I think back to people from many many years ago and I think about if they loved the soft, squishy feeling of dough as much as I do.

when my cat snores

when someone tries to hide a smile but can’t help it

when the air smells different in spring

when I close my eyes with the window down in the car and let the breeze and sun hit my face while a good song plays on the radio

when the light changes in my bedroom as day turns to night

daydreaming

writing

Had this thought while showering but I love our skin. And I love the fact that there is probably a horse with an almost exact skin colour as myself and everyone

lifes kinda crappy but i make bread from scratch and give it to people i love. and im always looking forward to the next time i can take a walk in nature.

Writing on my journal snuggling my cozy blanket

Playing Sudoku on my phone with EDM on the background

Hugging one of my six cats, or the six of them!!!

“Seriously, Hun, I've been spending the last 8 months of my life asking to myself this question, because I realized I knew what I dislike, hate or feel uncomfortable... But I wasn't that suuure about what my "happiness" is. Now I feel like happiness is the choice I make that give me either freedom, inner peace or a spark of joy... So I see happiness in almost every decision I make through the day”

sunsets at the beach. The salt in the air. The sound of seagulls and the stars

the moon makes me really happy

The pitter patter of rain against my window

Freshly baked bread

hold on a fucking second. delaware is a state?? i thought it was a river? or is the river more important than the state? why don't i know this? (i should mention i don't like in america, i'm just confused)

there is delaware (state) and delaware (river) 

both are equally strange

the state is a tiny little cryptid thing

the rive is a monster that spans new york, pennsylvania, new jersey and delaware. also washington crossed it once and that was like kinda a big deal i guess. like crossing the rubicon in rome.

the state tries to me more important with its “im the first state!!!” bs (seriously its even on the fucking license plates) but we all know. its the river.

Mammals both produce milk and have hair. Ergo, a coconut is a mammal.

Areas of Research for the Intermediate Witch

When you’ve covered all the basics, the next step is to pick some topics and study them in-depth. Take notes, whether they are online or by hand, and find creative ways to incorporate what you’ve learned into your practice. With depth of knowledge comes depth of understanding, and that will make you a stronger witch. Here are some ideas/topics to get started:

Mesopotamian magic (especially the role of astrology in Mesopotamia)

Go through each of the Sabbats and write down a summary of how they came about. What is their history, purpose and associated mythology?

Hermeticism and its influence on Western magic

The first recorded spells and incantations (hint: they were in ancient Sumer)

Who was Zoroaster?

John Dee and Enochian magic

Freemasonry

The Golden Dawn

The Salem Witch Trials, and how they affected legislation on, and public perception of, witchcraft

Carl Gustav Jung and his work on the connections between psychology and alchemy

Crystal elixirs

Shadow work

Mythology from a variety of cultures - you’re probably familiar with Zeus and Ra, but how much do you know about Ranginui and Papatuanuku? Knowing a variety of mythologies, whether you follow them or not, can help you better understand the deities you work with.

Other religions! It’s the same as mythologies - the more you know, the better.

Buddhist philosophy

Reiki

The fae

Botany - if you can, try to research the plants in your region, and devise correspondences for plants you can find in your local area based on their physical or medicinal properties. Just make sure to be mindful of local/native cultures if there are any.

Make a dream journal, and write down whatever you can remember about your dreams (don’t worry if it’s hard at first, the more you write them down the better you’ll get at remembering). Research possible dream meanings of any dreams that stand out to you!

Astrology, if you’re not already familiar with it. Astrology originated in ancient Mesopotamia as one of the first forms of divination, and as a result is the basis of a lot of magic today.

The natural world. The metaphysical is important but perhaps more so is the world to which it is attached. I’d recommend watching nature documentaries for this one.

Cover all your bases. If there’s a witchcraft 101 area that you never fully learned, now’s the time. Things like grounding, centering, circle casting, meditation, warding, visualisation… these are all important foundations that you need before you can try to build on your knowledge.

i feel like there’s this huge unfulfilled niche in the Dark Academia thing (kill your darlings, the secret history, dead poets society etc) for stories about women???? like can we have rakish girls quoting sappho and anxious genius poet girls, bespectacled, frantically tapping away at typewriters? wild girls trying to start literary movements and being dragged down by their own hubris? innocent girls discovering love and sex and angela carter? cute girls in 60s looking school uniforms investigating ~mysterious happenings~? going to class the next day hungover and exchanging knowing glances? can we just have. the thing
