A gentle reminder to myself that my practice is what I make of it. Tweaking preexisting spells does not make me a bad practitioner, it makes me a skilled enough witch that I can take a basic outline and make it into what I need.

There is so much to be learned from other practicioners and from what has worked historically, but I'm not going to go to Magic Jail™️ because I chose to use a different herb in a spell because I think it will work better for me.

The Overflowing Heart

I will tell you how I made this witch’s token, but you will have to find a way of your own. It is as Grandmother Wren told us,

“Remember always that some portion of magic is yours to wield, and that the world contains many, many truths.”

the recipe:

3/4 oz Kazuki gin

1 1/2 oz. Sake + tea mixture

1 oz. fresh squeezed grapefruit

3/4 oz. Strega

shake over ice, and serve in your finest or favourite tea cup

garnish with dried rose petals

notes:

Sherringham Kazuki gin— a collaboration of one of my favourite distilleries and my favourite local tea shop, Westholme Tea Farm. Made from Japanese cherry blossoms, and locally grown tea leaves with notes of yuzu, grapefruit, and juniper. I first visited Sherringham in a trio of my own, on a day long adventure, visiting a beach someway up the island. Westholme is run by an old coworker of my Aunt’s, and his partner who makes gorgeous pottery. I could not put words to my excitement when I first heard whispers of their collaboration.

Sake + Tea Mixture— I can never fully recreate this just the same. There is magic in that, I think. I have little left. I made it by taking a sprinkling of the following teas from Westholme, and cold steeping them in a mason jar with a large ice cube, topped with sake and a splash of moon bathed witch water.

featuring:

Blossom: (jasmine green, floral), for the cottage’s calendar

Bi Luo Chun: (green, delicate and earthy), for i thought it was grown here, over seven long years (I rolled a nat 1 on my perception check)

Pur-eh: (fermented, earthy), for its mushroominess and it’s connection therin

Dog: (black assam, vanilla and cardamon, from the Chinese Zodic series), the cardamom pod and a few leaves, for our beloved Fox

Witch Water: the witch water used in this potion was bathed in the Friday, October 13th New Moon (a day so witchy I thought for sure the class would be released that day!) in an empty kazuki gin vessel

~

Grapefruit— because it was pink and in season and a citrus I love dearly

Strega— the witch liqueur! According to legend, Giuseppe Alberti was given the recipe for this elixir after saving a witch falling out of the sacred walnut tree, under which witches would convene to dance and perform their rituals.

for the cocktail chapter of the @worldsbeyondpod unofficial cookbook

#worlds beyond number #wbn unofficial cookbook #wbn #the wizard the witch and the wild one #ame the witch #grandmother wren #cw alcohol #styling inspired by artwork featured in the witch class playtest im pretty sure by Tucker Donovan #if this turns into a hit post play go play Wickedness and stream Ghost Quartet #how the fuck do i condense this recipe into a tweet who the fuck knows #feat. all of my magic witch’s tokens and my principles of green witchcraft book in the background #sometimes a witch character and a cocktail inspired by her is something that can be so personal #check out the Neat the Boozecast episode on Strega for all the cool witchy details and history!!!!

omg girlies you’re never gonna believe it but the witchfinder general is hot on my trail

(this is a removal request for beetle by a ??? local political candidate in northern VA???? who is i guess running on an anti witchcraft platform??)

alt text is there if you can’t read the handwriting. i think this is very very very funny. i don’t think she knows girls kiss in it

#my favorite part is the part where she says i am promoting a challenging attitude in children.#that is correct!!!! you got it!!! lol #basically i think this was pulled from a masterlist of gay books by a group so because there’s nothing obviously gay on the flap #the person who happened to get this title just assumed it was there for witchcraft #i think she paged through the preview enough to find out that one of the characters is nonbinary and assumed that was the end of it #anyway she missed the big fat gay kiss :(#and the character who is so similar to her :(((( sad!

Sometimes it doesn't matter how many times people try and drill it into your head, some things only click when you're scrambling around, frantically throwing together a protection jar to shake off a nasty curse that the ingredients don't matter.

Magic is Intent.

Sure, some things have become so deeply woven into common beliefs that it is difficult to remove those associations (salt=protection, pink/red=love, etc. etc.)

But in the end, it doesn't matter.

Humans like to have systems and guidelines to follow to make their work simpler, that's just what we do.

So it makes sense that we have assigned certain attributes/meanings/purposes to different things to make witchcraft, well, easier (see: crystal charts, spice/plant uses, color theory, and so forth).

One of my biggest gripes for the longest time was about how people seemed dead set on "ingredients" having specific/limited uses, and to use them otherwise was foolish. Which! Never made sense to me! But until recently, I lacked the right words to explain this frustration.

But honestly? I can't be mad about it any more. Fuck, sure, why not, salt is useful for preservation and keeping unwanted pests away, so yeah, it's good for protection.

It's much easier to do work with a few tokens of meaning than try and do everything with only mental effort (speaking for myself)- having physical objects to represent your intent can help tenfold. Doesn't matter if people don't have the same associations with those tokens as you- only your intent matters.

Any lovely witchy friends out there have advice for reaching out to a deity?

#personal #been a practising witch for a long time but never really thought about having a patron #but more and more recently i feel a pull towards some specific beings. ive been making some small offerings in the form of crafts #related to their imagery and totem style representations but i havent actually attempted to contact them #or open any direct channels of communication. and as ive never had a patron deity before im not sure how to start that process #how to transition from a solo practice to a more collaborative participation #so any advice is much appreciated! feel free to dm if your suggestions might be more personal or longer than a reply #i only know a few other witches in real life and i dont think any of them deal with deities either so id love to make some friends #who also practice too i think its really good to learn this stuff from real people and not only internet stuff #bc internet stuff especially in regards to witchery can be bs at best and straight up racist and culturally appropriating at worse #and genuinely dangerous at worst for inexperienced practicers so i do prefer knowledge from other real humanoids when possible #witchcraft #witchblr

Reminder that no practice, regardless of how common it seems to be used, needs to be part of your practice. If everyone is practicing something that you find no joy or comfort in, it does not mean you should practice it to fit in, nor does it mean you are less serious about your practice or less magical in general.

#self post #inspiration #My personal example (among many) is stirring drinks.#It feels… gimmicky? Cutesy? I have no idea how to describe why I don’t like it but I don’t so I don’t do it.#No disrespect to people who do that but it’s never sat right with me.#||#witchcraft #baby witch #witch 101 #beginner witch #witchcraft 101 #witch tips #witchblr #witch101

if you’re anything like me (someone who cannot handle seeing scary things like ever or else i can’t sleep due to severe paranoia) and you work with gods/demons/entities that can present themselves in scary ways and want to avoid seeing such things, literally just ask.

ask whomever you are reaching out to/communicating with to present themselves in a way that won’t scare you.

9 times out of 10 they will present themself in a way that is less likely to overwhelm you, but that first time can always feel like a lot. that’s why we communicate, especially in the early stages of working with entities.

Are ship headcanons related to smps only one or two Hermits are on allowed? Like Witchcraft and Pirates SMPs? Or just kinda the main Hermitcraft/Life (+Empires) stuff?

Those SMPs are absolutely allowed. We have a preference that the ship involves at least one hermit, just in theme with the blog. But as for what SMP they come from, it doesn't matter! The obvious caveat is that the quality of the answer will depend on our knowledge of the SMP, but we have a good general understanding of SMPs the hermits are on!

For completely non-hermit ships, there's also @mcyt-shipping. One of the mods there was the previous mod of this blog so you know you'll be in good hands!

#ask #qna #mod 🎀#personally my knowledge covers pirates; hc; empires s1 + 2; rats; traffic series; a bit of witchcraft; some origins #so i wouldn't worry too much about it!
