Witchcraft Exercise - Creating Correspondences
Tumblr media
There are dozens of plant species in the arsenal of the green witch. Commonly-used varieties and usage varies somewhat between traditions, but most of us are fairly familiar with industry standards like basil, bay, rosemary, sage, and so on.
But what do you do when faced with a plant that has no listed magical correspondences anywhere that you can find in your witchcraft library? Simple - you create some.
Allow me to demonstrate with a little plant I found in my own backyard. It's a common weed called Virginia copperleaf (Acalypha virginica). But despite it's widespread range and abundant growth as a field weed, there are surprisingly few references to the plant in regional folk medicine and none at all that I could find in contemporary witchcraft.
So in order to incorporate this hardy little weed into my practice, I set about creating some correspondences for it.
First, I researched the physical properties of the plant. It is a small annual spurge with long taproots, a resistance to drought and many herbicides, and a reputation for fast growth and being difficult to eradicate from fields due to prolific seeding. The leaves turn coppery-red in the fall and small spiky flowers bloom among the foliage. It is also mildly poisonous. The juice of the plant may cause contact dermatitis or a mild rash in some people and if ingested, it may cause GI symptoms such as vomiting and diarrhea.
Next, I researched references to the plant in folk medicine. I could only find a single reference that cited copperleaf as a possible diuretic and expectorant. That does track with the previous mention of GI symptoms, but it doesn't mean the plant is safe to use. I did discover that an alternate name for the plant is three-seeded mercury or mercury weed, likely because of its' tendency for fast growth and the fact that it is propagated by the wind.
So now comes the business of creating the correspondences, using the physical properties of the plant as a basis.
The first and most obvious association is strength. Any weed that is resistant to drought and herbicide and uprooting is bound to be useful for spells involving tenacity and fortitude. Prosperity is also a likely use, both because of the name copperleaf and the way in which the plant grows and spreads quickly. Because of the alternate name mercury weed and the wind propagation, it could be used for wind magic or communication spells. (I often associate the element of air with communication and the name of a messenger god is right there as well, but your mileage may vary.)
The plant could also be used as an ingredient for baneful magic, either to bind and frustrate someone's efforts by consuming available ground where their ambitions might grow, or in its' capacity as a mild poison, to cause physical discomfort and stomach trouble.
So in the end, I have a handful of copperleaf and a listing in my witchbook that details the properties of the plant and notes that it could be useful for spells involving strength, tenacity, prosperity, wind, or communication, as well as possible baneful uses including binding, discomfort, and sickness.
This is my system for assigning correspondences to previously-unknown plants, and I encourage readers to use it as a template for their own practices or to create their own system. Either way, I recommend the use of a field guide or plant identification app like PlantNet to properly identify plants as you find them. Remember to forage and harvest responsibly, be a good steward of the land around you, and always label your plant cuttings.
Happy Witching! 💚🌿

To Ward a Natural Space
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
This is a Ward that defends a natural area against those who would disrespect the land. It was taught to me by the Glaoming Folk, and I have since been given permission to share the process in hopes that others might use it to protect their own beloved ecological sites. It is worth noting that this ward only seems to have a range of about 20 to 40 feet, which I realize isn't necessarily ideal, but when strategically placed, multiple wards can be used to create a 'warding net' across an area.
To make this Ward, a switch must be harvested from a propitiated Crabapple tree, which is then split in half to create a pair of sticks measuring approximately the same length. Thereafter, a long and thin runner of blackberry bramble is collected and harvested—ideally from a place with fae activity—and is stripped of leaves. A God's Eye is then woven using the Crabapple sticks and the Blackberry brambles, working one's intent into every turn of the Weaving, before a tuft of Hare's fur is ensnared within the center of the ward. All of this must be done bare-handed, as every prick and drop of blood serves to strengthen the will of the Ward and appease the Spirit of the Blackberry, which lends its power to this magic.
The resultant device can then either be hung with twine, or simply placed in a fitting spot. It has shown itself to be quite helpful in discouraging those who would litter or mar a natural space from doing so. While littering and tree carving hasn't gone away entirely since beginning to use these, it has most certainly dropped significantly—and only in the places where they are employed.

I’m so very sick of plant blindness in conservation, and in the wider world in general
If you buy or ‘wildharvest’ an endangered, threatened, or protected plant, you are a trophy hunter.
It doesn’t matter if it’s for spiritual reasons. It doesn’t matter if it’s already been harvested. You are bankrolling the destruction of a species. You are contributing to the growing demand.
The loss of any plant species can cause a trophic cascade, a having a devastating impact on the ecosystem it was a part of.

Commission for juicebun on twitter! Specializing in plant-related magic makes a lot of sense for a rabbit, because you can command nearby flora to defend yourself and channel sunlight to bolster your abilities, but you can ALSO just summon a tasty little treat for yourself whenever you want 😋🌸

•~• Some Basic Pumpkin Magic •~•
Even though July isn’t even over yet and autumn is not as near as I would like it to be, I wanted to talk about one of my favorite things in the world - pumpkins! I always love when these bad boys come around in the autumn, so to be prepared for the coming autumn months, I thought I’d make a little summary of some pumpkin associations and magic!
Colors
When we think of pumpkins, we tend to think of the color orange, which is associated with attraction, creativity, and new opportunities. But pumpkins can also be found in other colors, such as green, yellow, and white! If you want the general associations of a pumpkin but want to use a different kind of color magic, maybe look into the less iconic but still wonderful varieties of pumpkins.
Pumpkin Associations and Uses
Pumpkins are often associated with abundance and prosperity due to their large size and many, many, seeds. The seeds are also a feature that promotes new life and expansion. Pumpkins also tend to last long periods of time when not disturbed, so the expansion aspect of the seeds can be longer-term as the pumpkin itself can last longer.
Pumpkins are also ruled by the moon and their element is water. Doing spells and rituals regarding the moon and/or water can be amplified by the pumpkin’s natural associations with these things.
Pumpkins are also used to ward off evil and for spirit protection. Carving them into faces is a common tradition and they became used in what we know as a jack-o-lantern as a replacement for the traditional turnip. If you want to double up on the protection aspect, carve a sigil, rune, or other protective symbol into the pumpkin instead of a face.
Which also leads me to the time of year that these are around. Pumpkins are an autumnal plant and are heavily associated with harvest festivals and spiritual festivals. The most well known would be Mabon and Samhain, with our modern day Halloween coming from Samhain, thus the jack-o-lanterns at this time of year outside of the magical community.
Other Magical Uses
Aside from the jack-o-lantern spells, the most obvious and my personal favorite way to use pumpkins is kitchen magic. I have sweet pumpkin tea that I stir clockwise to attract abundance and prosperity. You can also use them in baking, such as a pumpkin pie, or regular cooking, such as pumpkin soups and stews. They work really well with spices. If you’re working on spiritual protection with the pumpkin, using cinnamon to enhance the protection properties. Also cinnamon and pumpkin is one of my all time favorite flavor combinations so it also tastes amazing!
The pumpkin’s physical characteristics can also be used in spells. Carve out your pumpkin and use it as a bowl or container for your spellwork.
And last on this post but definitely not the last way to use it is the drying of its seeds and using the seeds throughout your magical year. As mentioned, these seeds are great for new beginnings, and as they are connected to a moon associated plant, new moon spells and rituals of attracting abundance and new beginnings work really well when adding some pumpkin seeds.
I hope y’all found this helpful and let me know if you want basic breakdown of anything else!

You're not a bad witch if you don't work with plants, if you aren't good with plants, if you lack the spoons to keep up with taking care of plants, if you can't have plants, if you don't like plants.

Seems like you somehow got the Third Lotus Prince wrapped around your finger tightly-
Nezha is taller than you on his wheels but when he isn't, he is only a bit taller.
You two probably accidentally bump into eachother [Nezha is in his citizens disguise] and Nezha thought you were just some low life mortal but didn't expect you to be so FUCKING BEAUTIFUL- especially your kind and sweet personality!!😼🤌
Nezha litteraly stares at you with HEART pupil eyes while blushing madly- he could feel his heart beating so fast that it could burst out of his chest-
He just had to shook off the hearts pupil and apologized to you for accidentally bumping into you. His whole body flinched and turn redish when he heard your beautiful voice saying that it was your fault.
He hold both of your hands and just takes the blame- and also inside, he is squealing about how soft your skin are. OH GOD HIS PUPILS ARE TURNING INTO HEARTS AGAIN-
He just quickly run aways embarrassed while covering his face while you just stand there still processing what just happens but you quickly snaps out of it and just continue helping the others.
When he is back at his temple, he will keep squealing and smiling widely when he is thinking of you too much-
He can't even stop thinking about you. You are just too... perfect.. your beauty.. your personality.. your voice.. IT IS ALL JUST SO PERFECT.
He just keep hoping that you both could meet again so you both could talk and know eachother better.
And it happened! Nezha wish came true! He saw you helping someone growing their plants which was dying and he was shocked to know that you have powers but is very ecstatic and impressed.
He just quickly sprint over to you and pat your shoulders making you flinched a bit but turn back to see who is it and saw Nezha who is smiling at you and waving. You waved back of course!
After you done helping the person. You both decided to be friends and hangout a bit. You talk all about the plants, people, nature,.. and Nezha listens to you rambling lovingly and staring at you.
You both talked and get to know eachother and obviously got eachothers names. You were quite shocked to find out he is the Third Lotus Prince but you decided to treat him normally <3
When you look away, Nezha will try to put his hand on yours but quickly pulled it back quickly when you look back.
When Nezha had to go, you promised Nezha to keep his secrets about him being the Third Lotus Prince. (You are amazing at keeping people secrets <3) (YOU LITTERALY HAD KEPT SOMEONE SECRETS AS A KID SO MANY YEARS AGO-)
And that is the day Nezha became really touch-starved and constantly wants your affection, attention.
The Gods are very aware of him being obsessive towards you but can't really do anything about it. Is his choice. If he went too far he might have to get punished.
When he asked if he can call you "Lotus.", you accepted and he felt like a love arrow just strike through his heart and his whole face turned red.
He will mostly try and steal your attention away from people. Because your attention is for only and only HIM.
I think he is a worship, stalker, eliminating, delusional and manipulative yandere.
He loves any physical touch that are from you even a single touch, and whenever walking with him, he will hold your hand gently. He also loves hugs that are from you! Any hugs from the others will be declined.
When becoming a close or good friend of his, he will always greet you by hugging you behind unexpectedly but that isn't so surprising to you anymore since he does that everyday to you.
He will be very glad to help you into helping the others or making them happy! But he will still send daggers at them if they even try to flirt with you.
He is litteraly the type that just- whenever angry, their love / crush came from and they just went into peace and happy mode.
"WHY. CAN'T. WUKONG. JUST. STAY. AWAY. FROM. ME!?!!"
"Nezha? Are you okay? I heard some screaming in here.."
"Oh hi Lotus! I'm so glad you came!~♥︎"
He is very affectionate whenever he is with you. Like bro be pouring a bucket of affection on you-
BRO BELIEVED IN [___] SUPREMACY.-
He may be a short-temper prince around anyone but not around you :) he will be very patient. And he will always try not to let his anger get the best of him and make you scared.
Whenever you with him in his temple, one of his ribbon tail (?) will wrapped lightly around you ro around your hand.
He will and shamelessly kiss your hand like a gental man <3
He follows you everywhere you go like a lovesick stalker. 〈Which he is-〉
When he received gifts from you, he will cherish that thing FOREVER!! And he will get you something back for sure!
And yes. He will kill and do anything for you.
One time, Nezha saw a man who tried to kiss you but you quickly ran away. That man was pissed but Nezha was even more pissed off. He just quickly spawns his spears and ends that man life rather quickly and just laughs quietly like a manic before coming back to you again after cleaning the body.
He vowed that he will protect you forever. You are the reason he is still sane right now. The reason he is a happy and loveable Nezha
He will for sure braid and brush your hair :3
When he gets jealous, which he can get jealous a bit easily and is good at hiding it. He will sends a death glare at the person who is with you and will signals them to go away now.
When you are hurt.. oh-ohh that person who hurts you is gonna die no matter what's the cost. For some reason, he will become more powerful when he is angry about something that is related with you when you are hurt or harrased. After killing the person, he I'll come back to you and help you even if you can heal your self.
When he is hurt, you won't be able to do anything to the person who hurted him but can heal him which made his heart melted at the sight of you worrying about him and healing him.
He will watch you and teach you on your plant magic if you couldn't control a few or just a new ability.
Snuggle into him and he will melted into a puddle of goop <3
He cares for you so much! But still possessive. He wouldn't even let Sun Wukong near you an inch.
"Yo! Hey [___]-"
"Back off Wukong. We DON'T want you here."
You better get used to a Lotus Prince following you around and constantly wants your attention.
Face it. In 1-2 years he will confess his love for you. And the choices is your destination.
If you confessed to him first or accept his confession. He will just go- NEZHA.exe stopped working. He will come back and then kiss you. And later just hugs you while rubbing his cheeks on yours and telling how he loves you so much for all these months.
He will now call you "my little Lotus." or "sweetie." or "love."
He will introduce you to MK and his friends, he will introduce you as his love life <3. Secretly, he never introduce you to them at first is because he fears that they would try and steal all of your attention away from him.
Oh and did I mention how protective he gets after you and him got into a relationship? He gets very overprotective but won't be too much just too make you comfortable around him.
You and him will mostly spends time in his temple or in heaven. Talking about everything.
He loves how you keep giving him small kisses on the face.
He will stay by your side 24/7 when going back to earth since heaven is somehow in another place.
He will not be afraid to show any violent behavior towards any person who even tried to steal you and/or your attention away from him.
The more clingy and touch-starved he gets is how possessive he gets but not too much-
He will let's MK and his friends near you BUT not Sun Wukong. He will personally grab Wukong by the head and drag Wukong or threw Wukong away from you.
He will still warn MK and his friends to not / if they stay TOO close to you.
"MK? Would you mind staying a bit far away from [___] for me?"
"Pigsy. I'll be glad if you stay 4 feet away from [___] right now."
"You're too close with [___] Tang. So please stay a bit far away from [___] now on."
When you get hurt, he went on a rampage looking for the person who hurted you and just take their life away. But if it's MK or one of his friends, he will spare them but only 1 time. If it's Wukong.. then you're bout to see some fight so get your healing power prepared to heal those two.
When you both sleep together, he will cling onto you and just lay his head on you like a pillow :) he loves it when you sleep with him.
He will also just randomly snuggles your side and just stays there until you had to help someone.
Over all, Nezha will be more calm, protective, soft, clingy, possessive towards you.
Well uh.. if you reject him then uh.. THING ABOUT TO GET BAD-
He will be very shocked. You.. you rejected him..? No no... you must be lying. You are always so caring and affectionate towards him. YOU MUST BE LYING.
He will indeed get very mad and try to knock you out so he could take you with him and make you stay with him FOREVER.
But if you fight back using sharps vines as tendrils or uses your power to fight back against him. He has fire magic so he could just easily burn it and he is a deity so he could just easily knock you out.
You will woke up with him somewhere in his temple and he will tell you how much he had loved you and try to guilt trip you. Since for him, you are very easy to manipulate since you are kind and sweet.
After successfully or failed to guilt trip you, he will just go and.. find a LOVE potion to affect it on you.
He will use that love potion and put it in your food. And he will bring it to you.
If you reject the food, he will threat you and forcefully shoved it in your mouth. Making you chew on it and swallow it.
After you got affected by the love potion, he will be very happy that you finally loved him back and will free you and force you to stay by his side 24/7
He will treat you like a piece of glass that need to be protected all the time which means that he is very overprotective and possessive over you.
He will still be kind and very caring towards you since he loves you very deeply.
For some reason.. the Gods never found out what he did because he is VERY sneaky and quiet.
MK and his friends never knew about you so they never know what Nezha did to you and never knew about your disappearance.
But that a different case for Wukong. He is suspicious about Nezha. But doesn't wants to do anything since he doesn't wanna make him mad and just get into a huge fight with him.
He loved you too much so he had to do this for your own good. HE JUST WANTS YOUR LOVE FOR HIM AND ONLY HIM.
Over all.. he get EVEN more possessive, obsessive, overprotective, violent, and delusional.

Saints/Plants/Animism in Christian/Catholic Witchcraft
Does anybody else think of plants (especially when used in witchcraft) kind of like saints?
I think when I was first starting out in my practice I was really nervous about what I was allowed to include, not wanting to be accidentally practicing idolatry and all that other scrupulous stuff (which I now understand has a totally different definition than what I thought, lol)
But what's there to worry about? I don't think this plant is a god. I mean, maybe in the way that the Holy Spirit is in every living thing. But generally I think of them like saints: I am asking this rosemary for assistance in presenting my petition for cleansing my space to God. I am asking for this cinnamon stick's support in seeking God's protection.
They're mediators, symbols, sacramentals, go-between-ers.
Go hug a tree or something

The Mistreatment of a Sacred Plant
Recently, I had an unpleasant emotional and spiritual shock. I struggle a bit to talk about it because of how upset it makes me, but I feel like the subject matter is important enough to warrant the discussion.
As some may know, one of my dearest plant allies is the Ghost Pipe. I work closely with Monotropes in general, but the Tutelary Spirit of Monotropa Uniflora, in particular, serves as a chief Plant Patron of mine. Part of maintaining this relationship involves visiting a specific location in a devotional capacity, in order to watch, tend, and learn from the population of Ghost Pipes that grow there. I went back to this place not long ago, in order to thank the spectral flowers for lending their power and grace to our Handfasting Ritual, and I was horrified to discover that every one of the colonies I've stewarded over the last few years is completely gone.
They aren't a major food-source for any animals I know of, and this was way more than a die-back, since I recognize what that looks like. What's more, for every colony to have naturally vanished without a trace since the last time I visited was unthinkable. As such, I'm all but sure that someone "Wildcrafted" them to make tinctures for sale. This is absolutely heartbreaking and infuriating, as they have totally misused and abused this sacred plant, and damaged an extremely fragile and unique ecosystem in the process.
The main issue with harvesting Ghost Pipes isn't necessarily that it's rare, though it is in some areas. The real problems are how sensitive they are and how exacting their life cycle is. Sometimes, just touching a Ghost Pipe is enough to damage the plant, disrupt the re-seeding process, and prevent it from growing back. What's worse, the conditions required for the succesful development of these ethereal organisms are extremely specific. Monotropes are Mycoheterotrophs, which derive their energy through mychorizal parasitism. This is to say, they can only get their energy by siphoning it from a small range of subterranean fungi, who in turn, siphon their energy from the roots of certain trees. Between these and other factors, Monotropes are virtually impossible to cultivate or propagate, and they are especially susceptible to the effects of overharvesting. Unfortunately, unethical harvesting has steadily become a real problem in Western Herbalism, where Ghost Pipe tincture is growing in popularity for its mystique and its beautiful violet color. And while it does have a long history of traditional medicinal use as a Nervine, people who aren't getting it purely for its aesthetic qualities are buying it as a miracle cure, without any real understanding of how or why to use it.
I've been muddling through strong feelings of anger, sorrow, and impotence since this happened, and I feel sick thinking about someone out there irreverently peddling this precious medicine under a capitalist guise of "Herbal Wisdom." These sorts of business practices are thoughtless, ecologically unethical, and spiritually blasphemous (as far as I'm concerned). So, I beg you: please think thrice about what you are doing before you harvest a plant. Ask yourself these five questions, and weigh the answers against each other: "Why do I want to harvest this plant?' 'What harm will my behavior cause to this organism?' 'What harm will my behavior cause to this species?' 'What harm will my behavior cause to this ecosystem?' and, 'What will I suffer as a result of not harvesting this plant?
I offer up my most fervent prayers that the seeds I helped to spread earlier in the year will count for something.
