Was reading on wikipedia about how lots of ancient cultures had beliefs and traditions where you had to offer prayers and/or sacrifices if you wanted to cut down a tree because you were basically killing the spirit that lived within the tree and if you did that without good reason bad stuff would happen to you

we should bring that back. if you want to clear cut a forest you have to pray and sacrifice on behalf of every single tree

Double Entry Magic

This is a little joke about ‘double entry accounting’. In accounting, every transaction is recorded at least twice. I’m an accounting major, so sue me.

Just like double entry accounting, I believe every spell affects at least two things. Let me explain:

Get more money spell: Affects your wealth and your poverty.

Get more love spell: Affects your love life and your loneliness.

Get class canceled spell: Affects your class time and your free time.

Every spell which is a conjuration also banishes something; every spell which is a banishment also conjures something. When you banish class, you conjure free time. When you conjure love, you banish loneliness. When you conjure wealth, you simultaneously banish poverty.

I think it is fitting that the proper part of the spell pays attention to that second effect, whether it be conjuration or banishing.

Suppose you have a candle that is meant to conjure money. Precede it with a candle that banishes poverty, leaving room for that wealth to grow. For a jar spell that conjures self-love, include a knot spell to bind self-loathing.

For every spell there is an equal and opposite reaction. As one thing grows, another shrinks. Anticipate what the opposite reaction will be, and include that in your workings.

The Altar of the Land

Altars and places of power play a large part in lots of witches’ craft. Such places include the caves of Cornwall, the seaside, ley lines, cemeteries, and many, many more. These allow access to higher powers, visionary experiences, hidden knowledge, healing, just to name a few.

Some create altars to honor spirits, ancestors, gods, angels, saints, any and all spirits. Some use them to create their own place of power, where they can focus their power and energy. I tend to fall into the second category.

When creating a focus for power in your own home, it is practically necessary to detach yourself from the ideal of the altar of worship. No important place setting, no specific order or required items. Instead, include things gifted to you by the spirits. Feathers, stones, worts, natural fetishes, bones, diverse barks and flowers, etc… The Altar of Land should reflect the land and its Genii.

To begin, walk through the land. Collect clay from a river bend. Shape it into a pot and a lid.Fire it in a pit. Once done, coat it with resins of the balsams. Pine, Fir, Locust, Yew, whatever is available. Peach trees, Sweet Gum, latex from Corn Poppies, Dandelion and Wild Lettuce. Add to it then the common flowers you can find. The root of those chtonic plants willing to share. Dirt from the land should then be added. This forms the basis of the Altar of Land.

Bring back your vessel now, and place it upon the space you dedicate. Connect to it, build a link to the Land. Wake its spirit and communicate to it through the vessel. Let it be known for what reason you are creating this space. Soothe it with offerings of Honey, Tobacco, Mead, Wine, Milk, Blood and Fat. Seal the deal with a drop of your own blood, before using yarn or cord to seal the vessel. Keep this upon the altar constantly. Any preparation of herbs, roots, barks, etc… coming from the Land should be prepared before this vessel, and a little added to it at the end of the preparation.

As time goes on, you will be given more and more curios, which should be kept on the altar. To this may be added any and all bones given to you, who once reddened may serve you for different tasks, and will protect the Altar of Land. Feathers of birds may also be made into fans or mobiles, such as witch ladders, hung above the Altar. A plant taken from the land itself may be watered using rain, storm, or any sort of water naturally found to connect to the aqueous aspect of the Land Genii.

Once the main Altar has been completed, the addition of the Sky by presence of the feathers and of Water by presence of the waters used to feed the plants and the vessel itself will triple its impact. Items may be brought to the Altar to be blessed, empowered and consecrated to the Land.

Weird Al made a Christmas movie where he played a villain who was kidnapping Santa’s elves, but people thought it was real and he got taken to court over it. There were posts all over Tumblr and Twitter about how he was now problematic whether he did it or not because even if he didn’t he still ENDORSED elf-kidnapping by playing this character.

Apparently a part of the reason why farmed bees stay in the beehives that humans build for them is because the farm hives are safer and sturdier. I don't know how a busy Discord server's worth of bugs that only have one brain cell each would logically conclude that the humans protect them from outside threats, illness and parasites, but if I understood right, the bees would be free to move away and build a new nest somewhere else any time they'd want, and they simply choose not to.

You know how in almost every culture, people have some concept of "if I sacrifice something that I made/grew/produced to the Gods, they will ward me and my harvest from evil"?

So, in a way, don't the bees willingly sacrifice a part of their harvest to an entity not only far greater than them, but nearly beyond their comprehension, in exchange for protection against natural forces wildly outside of their own control?

So tell me, beekeepers, what are you to your bees, if not a mildly eldritch God?
