I like to participate in #blackout day. But instead of another picture of a black Babalon, I’d thought I’d post something even more provocative.

Because BLACK LIVES MATTER. Not only where I live here in the US, but in the UK, and everywhere. 

I know, it’s a facebook page, but some groups want to make sure they have the broadest reach for their message. There is good stuff there I assure you.

Etiquette When Receiving Free Divination Readings

reposeforasquall:

Free readings are one of the best parts of being in the witchy community. A diviner gets to hone their skills, and you get an answer from the universe on that little problem of yours. That being said, there is some basic etiquette involved, and having offered and received free readings many times myself, I figured it couldn’t hurt to make a little PSA. So here is a step-by-step on How To Not Piss Off Your Diviner ^_^

1) Preface by saying “If you are still doing free readings”. This gives the diviner the option to deny your request because they received more than expected, or you sent your message after they closed. 

2) Don’t tell them your life story, and asking for a general reading is fine! If your boyfriend Tim told his friend that he was worried about you talking to Steve but you were just asking about homework and it seems like Tim doesn’t want to make this work–Stop. “What can I do to improve my relationship?” is just fine.

Example Request: Hello! If you are still doing free readings, I would like one please. I’m up for a promotion at work, what can I do to make my skills shine? Thank you for your time!

3) Give them time. Divining is draining, it can take days to shuffle through a stack of asks, and tbh sometimes we don’t get to every single one. Life happens. If you need a prompt reading, consider paying for one. 

4) Give feedback. Let your diviner know if their reading helped you, or if it seemed to be a little off the mark. 

Example Feedback: Thanks so much for the reading! I think I know what the cards were talking about, I’ve been fighting with my Dad lately. I suppose I’ll have to try and talk to him. Thanks again!

5) Consider a tip, or becoming a repeat customer. Many who do free readings will gladly accept tips, and some read professionally as well. If you think their reading was good(meaning skilled, not necessarily good news), maybe go back to them next time you need some help and pay them for a more in-depth reading. 

6) Say please and thank you! They are giving their time a services to you, free of charge. Respect the craft and respect your diviner.

I never expect tips – but – common courtesy is a must.

Witchcraft is the recourse of the dispossessed, the powerless, the hungry and the abused. It gives heart and tongue to stones and trees. It wears the rough skin of beasts. It turns on a civilization that knows the price of everything and the value of nothing.

✨🌍 sigils to help the planet 🌎✨

this is my very first try at making sigils, so i hope u guys like them! going clockwise, starting from the top left:

  • “Rainfall increases in areas where it is needed.”
  • “The rainforest and its inhabitants are safe, empowered, and protected from the destructive effects of human action.”
  • “Honey bee populations are able to thrive.”
  • “The effects of climate change are slowed, reduced, and, where possible, reversed.”

Playing a short Pathfinder campaign as break while I develop Blood & Thunder. Finding it strange and wonderful that for the first time in an RPG I will have an opportunity to play a cleric of Thoth.

This goes along with my current philosophy of finding ways to fit my skills and hobbies into my magical practice.

Don’t be fooled folks, RPGs ARE a gateway to magick and Satanism. And roleplaying is most excellent practice for invocation.
