Gender Affirmation Spell

This spell is for anyone who worries their gender identity is not real/valid, maybe because of their own doubts or someone else’s. I felt the world needed more gender spells that work for all genders, not just the binary ones. Try to do this when you aren’t feeling particularly dysphoric or upset because of the way you are treated for your gender. You should be in a calm and confident state; this spell relies heavily on your confidence.

Note: This spell isn’t for cis people! I mean, you can do it, but your gender is accepted as valid by like… everyone. So it probably won’t do much. If you just want to do it because you like the idea of it and you like your gender, go ahead. But again it will be more for aesthetics than actual function.

you will need:

jar or container with lid (a bottle with a cork works just fine)

quartz

basil leaf or slip of paper

pen and ink, marker, etc. (nothing erasable)

lavender

optional: objects, trinkets, poems, etc. that represent your gender

Come up with a sigil that you feel represents your gender; you can do this any way you like. It should be written on either the basil or paper. You can use an ink color that represents your gender to you, or your favorite color, or one that represents the emotion you want to give to this spell.

Drop the paper/leaf into the container, you can say an affirmation of some sort if you like. It should probably be about how your gender is real, your identity is valid, your existence matters, etc. At this point you can add any items that you feel represent your gender identity; these will help strengthen the spell and direct its energy for the right purpose.

Drop the lavender into the container. This represents protection of yourself and your identity. An affirmation about how no one else can tell you who you are would be appropriate.

Seal the jar as you say, “As I seal this (container), I protect my identity from those who wish to harm me.” Place the quartz on top of the lid. The weight of the quartz should be enough to keep the container from opening. The idea is that the protective energy of your affirmation will stay trapped inside the container, the sigil directs the energy, the lavender protects your identity from erasure or harm, and the quartz strengthens the spell. You can skip the quartz but it might not work as well.

Keep the container somewhere visible, but safe and permanent (i.e. don’t carry it in your pocket, but place it somewhere like your bedside table).

The container should not be opened for any reason; the exception being if you feel your gender has changed (you should burn the lavender and the sigil and start over). If you are genderfluid or any sort of polygender you don’t need to do this every time your gender changes; just include items to represent all of the genders you feel/ make sure the sigil is inclusive of all the genders you feel. (You could also just do “genderfluid”). You could even include a vial of water as it represents change and fluidity.

If the container opens for some reason, the spell will lose some of its energy. It is your choice how you wish to fix this; you could try charging it in the sun or moonlight, starting all over, adding more items and affirmations, etc.

To Be Trans... A poem I wrote for school

I have heard many people ask “What does it mean to be transgender, but I have never heard an answer that fits properly.

To be trans is to be your own stranger.

It is a different type of difficult than depression,

It is a stutter over stanzas and soliloquies

Pages and pages of misspelled names

Every day I look in the mirror and do not recognize my own face. I look at my jaw and skin and recognize only my eyes

the eyes my grandmother's tells stories of,

The eyes that once that belonged to my mother,

sometimes I wonder how they would feel if my eyes were the only part of me that they could recognize

Maybe they would understand that that's how I feel now

Looking in the mirror and seeing a stranger hurts more than you would realize

To see a soft jawline that doesn't belong

An arc in my hip that doesn't belong a

A curve in my chest that doesn't belong

To be trans is to forget your own name time and time again.

Sometimes I am reminded of stories about how my name was chosen.

my middle name was once my grandmother's middle name,

Megan, after the girl my mother knew

If I throw it away what Legacy am I discarding Into the dust at my feet?

will they grieve for the girl I left behind?

will I be grieving with them?

Mom, would it hurt you to know that you were the only one I have not told? Or will we go back to the night where you tried to force my memoir out from under my tongue, the night that keeps me Afraid of telling you now?

you looked me in the eyes in called my identity “bullshit” while you acted as if I had destroyed Megan completely.

My darling Achilles you have gotten used to saying it.

If you listen closely you can hear the way she stutters over Megan. The way she trips and turns over a name that is no longer mine she is one of the few people who are confident in Leo

My Achilles with galaxy Eyes how do you manage to work your way into every poem.

To be trans is to be afraid to speak your own truth

Many of us pack our bags before we even say the words

in case we have to leave the only home we've ever known

I am afraid of being shamed and ridiculed for asking for the right pronouns, even though I've never been afraid of my gender before

Young trans kids are taught to be scared

Scared of being accused of harassment in the women's washrooms and afraid of being assaulted in the men's

Scared of how the world calls us terrible things

Sometimes we even fear our own classmates

When they ask us why she calls me Leo

I do not respond

When they ask “What even is nonbinary anyway?”

I do not respond

When my friends continue to dead name me even though I've come out to them because “otherwise it confuses them”

I do not respond

At least not in the way that I should

I tell them that “It's okay” and to do whatever makes them comfortable

They fail to realize that that name is tearing away at my skin

That the reason I have bad posture is because maybe then I can cover my chest and maybe people will forget

To be trans is to rethink everything you have ever known to be true.

My name

My Voice

my reflection

I have learned that the truth lies in the sound of creaking trees

It lies in her cream soda smile

And the colour of her voice when she is happy

The truth lies in the pink of a sunset

In his blue-gray eyes framed by his dark lashes

In the indigo of a morning sky before the sun can be seen

Anyone who has ever stayed up all night knows every detail of that sky by heart

The way it says “congratulations, you are one for the few people who get to see me today”

To be trans is to be human”

Appalachian Folklore, Wives Tales, and Superstitions

Brought to you mostly by my grandparents, but also by my family at large. These are all things I heard growing up in the northern region of Appalachia and wanted to share with y'all. The lore and sayings may vary based on location, family tradition, and other factors, but this is just what I’m sharing from my experiences!

• Give the first pinch of a freshly baked loaf of bread to the Good Men to keep them happy. • Deaths and births always come in threes. • Spin around in a circle three times before you walk in the front door to confuse any spirits that are following you. • Don’t throw your hair out! If a bird builds a nest with it, you’ll have migraines. • “Red sky at night, sailor’s delight. Red sky at morning, sailor’s warning.” • If the leaves on trees are flipped over with their backsides showing, rain’s coming. • If you hear a dog howl at night, death is coming. • If you’re giving someone a wallet or purse as a present, put money in it to ensure they’ll never financially struggle. • Spirits can’t cross running water. • Cats and dogs won’t enter a room where spirits are present. • Carry an acorn in your pocket for good luck, a penny for prosperity, and a nail for protection. • If you’re having nightmares, put a Bible under your pillow. They’ll go away. • Take a spoonful of honey to keep your words sweet. • Keeping a pot of coffee on ensures a happy home. • It’s bad luck to walk over a grave. • A horseshoe hung above a door ensures good luck. • A horseshoe in the bedroom staves away nightmares. • If your right hand itches, you’ll soon be receiving money. If the left itches, you’ll be paying it. • Wishing on a star works. “Star light, star bright, first star I see tonight. I wish I may, I wish I might, have the wish I wish tonight.” • When you have a random shiver, someone just walked over your grave. • If smoke from a fire rises, expect clear skies. If it rolls along the ground, expect storms. • Rosemary near the door provides protection. Lavender provides peace. • “A ring around the sun or moon, rain or snow is coming soon.” • Wind chimes and bells keep spirits away. • Seeing a cardinal means unexpected company. • For that matter, so does dropping silverware. • Rubbing a bit of potato on a wart helps it to go away. • If the soles of your feet itch, you will soon walk on strange grounds. • Black eyed peas, greens, and/or pork and sauerkraut should be eaten on New Year’s Day to welcome good luck and good fortune. • Driving a nail into a bedframe or crib will drive away curses. • If your ears are burning, someone’s talking about you. • If you dream of fish, you are or will soon be pregnant. • Listen to the wisdom of children, they see and know more than we think. • To dream of death means birth, to dream of birth means death. • To cure a headache, crush some mint leaves in your hands, cup them over your mouth and nose, and breathe in a few times. It should help. • Placing a fern or ivy on the front porch protects against curses. • In a vegetable garden, never plant the same plants in the same spot two years in a row. Rotate where they are, and you’ll save your soil. (Note: this is a real thing called crop rotation, and is actually kind of important) • A black bird (Raven or crow, doesn’t matter) on the roof or a windowsill is an omen for death. To avoid it, you have to scare it away without using your voice before it caws. • Say a prayer when you pass a coal mine for the lost souls still in the mine. • Thank the land and the Lord with every successful hunt or harvest you have, for nothing is guaranteed.

These are a few of the folklores, wives’ tales, superstitions, and sayings that I’ve heard growing up (and still living in) in Appalachia! I encourage other Appalachian witches, cunning folk, and general inhabitants of the Appalachian region (and just the mountain range at large) to share whatever bits you’ve heard over the years! I just wanted to share a bit with y'all to give you an insight into some Appalachian lore, my own practice, and maybe give you some things to research and incorporate into your own practice! 🌿✨

Summoning Demons for Beginers

Warnings

Ok so before you do anything, you really need to be sure about what your doing. Research the hell out of it and make a desision from there. You can’t just summon any old demon and think it will be fine. Each have individual personalities and things they can teach and help you with. Finding the right one takes time, but it’s worth it.

If your sick physically, do not preform a ritual untill you’re healthy! If your body is weak, so is your mind. A demon can and will use that to their advantage!

Demons are not your friend. They are powerful spirits that can and will take advantage of you and use you if you’re not careful. I hope this guide helps show you ways to be safe while doing a somoning ritual. Your relationship can become very deep once you work with each other enough though, and that is a healthy relationship! At no point should you feel that you are completely in control of a demon though. That’s disrespectful. You need to treat them and the ritual with respect. If you start feeling scared at any time during a ritual, stop emediatly and tell the demon to leave! That’s when bad things can happen! Possession is always a factor to worry about, but some demons are known to do it more than others. Please research this before you dive into it head first!

Preparation

I suggest that you find an evocation online the first time you do a ritual. There’s many places where you can find one, and they all have different energys to them from what I’ve experienced. If you’re comfortable, try making your own to! There’s nothing more meaningful than writing out your own evocation. It’s pretty simmilar to how spells work!

When you draw your demon’s sigil, do it as carefully as possible. Don’t rush. Seriously. Take your time and make sure you feel confident while doing it. Confidence is key to not only a successful ritual, but also your relationship with that demon.

Meditate for a while before you conduct the ritual. You need to be in a clear state of mind and connected with the spiritual side of you. You almost want to be in a trance like state. That’s how concentrated and clam you need to be.

Light some candles and burn a nice smelling incense. I recommend using colors and smells associated with the demon you want to summon. Crystals can also be helpful! Try using some clear quarts and black tourmaline if you have some available. They are some of the best crystals when it comes to getting rid of negative energy and directing positive energy towards you. Amethyst is a protective crystal that may aid you as well!

You don’t need to sacrifice anything or give them and offering, but if your going to, keep in mind that it won’t make your results happen faster. Do it out of respect for that demon, it’s like a gift. Please don’t hurt yourself! I highly recommend (if you have periods) using period blood. It sound gross, I know, but it’s the purest blood you can give and you can give a lot of it without causing harm to yourself! You can also use hair if you want. I’ve herd good things from using hair as an offering, but I’ve never actually tried it myself. That’s just personal preference though.

The ritual itself

When you acctualy start your evocation, put meaning into your words. The first time you do it, you’ll probably be nervouse. You might even mess up entire sentences and have to start over like I did my first few rituals. But as long as you put meaning and power into your words, you’ll find it starts to get easier.

Everyone has different experiences with their rituals and demons that they summon, so results will very from spirit to spirit. As you start to get through your evocation, you will start to feel their energy. To me, it feels powerful and it literally sends shivers down my spine. It’s a good feeling. This feeling probably won’t be the same for you though, unless your summoning the same demons I have. They will not appear in a puff of smoke in a physical form. Well most likely at least. Some people have experienced seeing demons, but it very rare.

Now to the meat of the ritual. You should welcome them into your home, they are your guest after all. This is also the time where you might give them an offering of some kind if you want to. You then want to state what you want. Give them details. That way they know exactly why you called for them. If you are unsure of what you want exactly, chances are that the might not do anything for you. After you state you business, they will ask something in return. You’re working together, not for each other. What they ask may simply be going against the Christian faith or telling others about paganism in general. Most recently, for example, I was told to deeper follow my spirituality.

It’s not a garuntee that your demon will even bother to show up. It happened to everyone, so don’t worry if it happens to you. If you question if anyone is even listening to you, chances are no one was there in the first place. It’s not rude to ask them to give you a sign of their presence though, so feel free to do so. They might flicker a candle, move something in the room, make faint noises, etc.

Holding up your side of the deal

You have to put in effort, even after the ritual. If you just expect you can get off scot free, you’d be wrong. That demon is going to be pretty upset if you don’t do what you said you would. They will make sure you know that to.

By doing what was asked of you, that demon will do the same for you. You both get what you wanted and everyone’s happy! You won’t get emediate results, but things take time. It usually takes me a month to see results, but again, it varies from person to person.

If you asked a demon to help you, you still have to try to achieve that goal. You need to try to get what you want, even with the help of a demon.

Alright, I hope this helped some of you and shed some more light on the subject! Stay safe and open minded!

Can we please start appreciating people who are recovering from an addiction to self-harm? God bless those who are in recovery from eating disorders and drug addictions. But I barely ever see positivity towards those who outwardly express their pain (even though they hide it).

So let me start.

If you used a knife for any reason today (eat, open something, crafts) and didn’t turn it on yourself, great job!

If you shaved today, EVEN when someone was watching you the whole time, great job!

If you self-harmed a little less than you normally do, great job! (You are taking steps! Don’t be ashamed!)

If you thought about doing it and was even close enough to actually acting on it, but you didn’t, great job!

If you stopped following/blacklisted blogs that promote self-injury, great job!

If you used a pencil sharpener for the job it was meant to perform, great job!

If you opened up to someone about your self-injury, great job! I’m so fucking proud of you and your bravery!

If you decided to not wear long sleeves, pants, etc. so you were comfortable at the risk of someone seeing your scars, great job! You are beautiful! Your scars are not your identity!

If you are currently seeking help for your addiction and underlying mental disorders (if any), great job!

If you didn’t turn that lighter/cigarette to your skin, great job!

If you left those scabs alone, great job!

If you picked a little less today, great job!

If you left that perfect beautiful head undamaged today, great job!

If you didn’t bruise your knuckles/break your toes/physically purposefully injure your body, great job!

And most importantly: If you slipped/relapsed today you are going to be okay. This is not the end. You will recover. You will get better. There is no rush and it’s not a race. Please take care of yourself.

If you’d like to add anything please feel free to do so! Please reblog if you can! You never know who could need this right now!
