One of the most intimate things i think someone can do to me, is keeping me in subspace for a long time, even if its just for a day. Waking up and almost immediately getting fawned over and held. Letting me have something to suck on before breakfast, helping my brain stay all fuzzy by praising me for how well I suck. Please pick out my outfits and stroke my hair, tell me how pretty i look in the clothes you picked. Would you wrap a pretty collar around my neck? We dont have to go anywhere if you dont want to, but if we did, I’d have to hold your hand obviously (I might get lost!). Take me to cute cafes and ask me what I want before ordering for both of us. We could sit in the corner, I can stay tucked under your arm better that way, or i can sit across from you, feeling so light and bubbly. I can smile while we talk about anything you like and after we can go window shopping while I show you all the pretty things that catch my eye; we dont need to buy them, but showing them to you makes me happy. Maybe if you’re feeling generous I’ll get a new big plushie to carry home. 

When we get home why dont we have a hot shower together, my legs will probably be so tired i might stay at your feet but you dont mind do you? I’ll sit so pretty while you wash my hair and stroke my cheeks. Feeling the cool tiles against my back while you hold me and steal my breath while you kiss me under the water. After getting so cosy with fresh towels, feeling your hands all over me while you help me use my lotion, making sure i dont miss a single spot with your wandering hands. Getting into the panties and shirt you picked out before i try and make the bed as comfy as possible so you’re comfortable while I sit in your lap, laying against you, showing you my game on my switch while you’re watching tv. Your hand slipping between my thighs, shushing me, I’m just you’re pretty soft thing to enjoy. Maybe I just need to save my game and let you take my panties off, let me slide back down into your arms. Feeling your warmth, you know whats best right now. And what’s a better way to end such a nice day but fucking me into the mattress so we both sleep peacefully? 💗 🥺👉👈

20 Tips to being a Safe Witch

Altar Safety

When burning anything always keep a glass of water near you, unless you are working with burning oils, then keep a fire extinguisher or baking soda on hand.

When working with essential oils(EO), do not burn them they are highly flammable 

Never leave anything burning unattended, be it a burn bowl, candle, incense. DON’T LEAVE IT!

Please remove anything flammable such as paper or string from the candle, it will ignite and you will be alarmed.

Make sure that what you’re burning your candle in is fire safe, metal and cast iron are good bets. Do NOT burn in a glass, if you have to put it out and dump water on it, it will explode. 

Make sure you tie back loose hair and don’t have any floppy sleeves or necklaces to get in the way. 

When putting out a candle it is best to use a candle snuffer and do not use water. 

Don’t burn kitchen sage, it gives off a toxic smoke. Not something you wanna inhale.

Essential Oil Safety

Please, please dilute them properly. I have a chemical burn scar I can never get rid of due to undiluted cinnamon bark oil. The proper dilution is one drop per teaspoon.

Never ingest EO, there are some that are now generally recognized as safe by the FDA, but the quality of EO are not regulated. Who knows what a bad quality EO could do to your internal organs, not something I wanna test.

Essential Oils are photosensitive, meaning they deteriorate in light store them in a dark area to prevent them from spoiling.

DO NOT put them near on your skin and get in the sun or a tanning bed, especially citrus oils, they will blister.

Water will not dilute essential oils, only other oils(canola, olive, sweet almond, olive will all dilute). If you want to use them in a bath it is one drop per a teaspoon of oil.

Please seek medical attention if anything seems off after using EO, they seem harmless but can be very dangerous

Pets can be very sensitive to essential oils(particularly cats) and it is almost impossible to cover all my bases here. The sources provided below have some great resources.

Always go by the scientific name, German and Roman chamomile are very different products.

Kitchen Magic Safety

Wear shoes if you’re doing anything, I nearly lost a toe the other day cause I dropped a knife. I got lucky I was wearing boots. 

Wear correct clothing, and tie back hair. No matter if you have a gas, electric or induction stove, I’ve caught a lab coat sleeve on fire thanks to a torch while making a creme brulee. 

Use your knives correctly, learn about the pinch grip and use the correct knife for the job. Using a paring knife for chopping potatoes is asking for trouble. There are tons of videos online, I like the ones from Alton Brown and Jamie Oliver.

As a side note use sharp knives, a blunt knife will do more damage than a sharp one.

Don’t leave knives in the sink, someone could begin to wash dishes and cut themselves. 

Watch the steam. Steam can give a worse burn than dry heat, open pot lids away from you and don’t stick your face and phalanges in steam. 

Don’t leave food products unattended. 

Use your damn pot holders, they protect you and your counters. 

Store raw meat on the lowest shelves, and never store cooked meat on the same shelf

Wash your hands before, wash your hands after handling raw meats, wash your hands after. 

Don’t leave food that is meant to be cold or hot out for more than 2 hours, this is to decrease foodborne illness. 

When using the store turn handles in, to keep yourself from bumping them off the stove. 

Cook meats to proper temps(there is a chart in the sources)

If you are using herbs be sure to use kitchen grade herbs, those that are not kitchen grade are not held up to the same purity standards and could have more pesticide residue.

Herbal Safety

Please be aware a lot of herbs can work against prescription medications, or should only be taken in very specific doses( St. John’s Wort I’m looking at you.) Check in with your doctor or a licensed herbalist or naturopath before ingesting herbs.

Crystal Safety

Identify your crystals, some are water solvent some are not and it matters

Some that aren’t safe in water include malachite and selenite. They have copper and if aren’t sealed they can become toxic. There is no way to know for sure if it was sealed or not keep -ite crystals dry as a good rule of thumb. 

Some crystals fade in sunlight like rose quartz, amethyst and citrine, in order to prevent fading try cleansing them with sound, flower petals, moonlight and energy.
