Spell To Attract New Friends

Sometimes it’s time to move on. Maybe you’ve outgrown your old crowd, or found that the people you called friends were really toxic backstabbing bitches. Either way, here is a simple charm to attract new, like minded people into your life.

What you’ll need:

Lemon peel

Lavender

A lock of your hair

Lodestones (or any magnet will work if you don’t have one)

Small jar

Yellow candle

What you’ll do:

I would preform this on a waxing moon on a Friday. A waxing moon to indicate growth and a Friday bc it correlates to family and friends.

Cleanse your space. I usually do this by lighting sage and fanning it a bit around the space.

Light a yellow candle (if you don’t have a yellow candle any candle would be fine).Meditate on what a great friend you are. Picture yourself with your new friends focusing on the joy and happiness and harmony you all create by your friendship.

Take your jar. Fill it with a scoop of lavender and the lemon peel. Place the lodestone in the herbs.

Cut a small lock of your hair and sprinkle it in the jar. Close the lid.

You will want to work this jar for about nine days.

Each day stop by the jar for a few minutes continuing to meditate on attracting great friendships into your life.

When you are done you can either keep the jar in a safe space, or bury it outside.

How to Read Candle Flames

Hey witches! This is a little post on candle scrying, and how to interpret the flames, especially before casting a spell. Begin by lighting your candle and getting into a meditative state. Once you are calm and your mind is quiet, look at the flame. Use this guide to interpret the flame.

A Strong Flame: This indicates that power and energy are going into your desire for manifestation. When a figure candle is used, a strong flame generally means that the person represented is winning, angry, or using authority over another. When two figure candles are present, the higher and stronger flame represents authority over the other.

A Weak Flame: This can show that you are facing heavy opposition and must redo the magic several times to overcome the power you are facing. The weak flame can also indicate, on a figure candle, that the subject is losing the battle. The weak flame that goes out means that you’ve missed your target altogether, start over.

A Jumping Flame: This is an attention getter. It can indicate raw emotions along with explosions of energy.

Rainbow Flame: If your flame is composed of various colors this indicates that there are outside influences at work that may be beyond the power of the questioner. Colors can also show that the question may be best answered at a later date. The factors involved may need a change to develop and evolve for a clearer view of what may occur.

Direction of Flame Movement

North: On a waxing moon, something physical is manifesting.

East: Something mental is manifesting.

South: Your energy is strong, and is good for spell casting. In love matters, you can expect love that doesn’t last too long.

West: Emotional aspects. A good sign of success and love.

Direction of Smoke

Northern Movement: Something physical is manifesting. You will have to work for what you wish to achieve.

Eastern Movement: Something mental is manifesting. Think things through and have patience.

Southern Movement: Something intense and short lived is manifesting. Success comes rapidly and with intensity.

Western Movement: The manifestation of strong magic intervention. The issue is too emotional. You are too involved. Step away for a time. Clear your thoughts.

If you have any spirits, they may converse through the candle’s sound:

Infrequent Noise(Soft): Pure thoughts, intimate conversation.

Frequent Noise(Mild): An authority figure giving orders or directions.

Frequent Chatter(Strong): Arguments, quarrels or loud disagreements.

To Send Forth Enemies to Your Enemy

A spell based on a portion of an Ancient Egyptian myth.

All living things were created by Ra, and without him no new creatures could be created. Some of his spittle fell into the dirt, and Aset gathered the mud and molded it into a hooded snake. She set in it a fiery poison and hid it in a bush by the path Ra often took. His eye fell upon it and gave it life. The cobra reared its head, bit Ra in the heel, and fled.

Materials

Four branch/wooden sticks, as big or small as you desire

Dirt (to make mud with)

Allspice

Cayenne

Red pepper flakes

Jalapeno Pepper Vinegar

This may get messy, so grab some gloves (to protect your skin) and a trash bag to collect the debris.

Grab your cauldron (or bowl to mix the mud in - I tend to use a pail) and dump the dirt in there. Make sure there’s enough to thoroughly coat the sticks. Take the spices and vinegar and throw it all in. Add some warm water. Mix it all up until you get the desired consistency (you’ll probably want it pretty thick to make the coating easier). 

Take the sticks and coat each one with the poisoned mud. As they dry, make it look snake-like (either by visualizing it as so, or putting in snake eyes/nose/mouth). Whisper your target’s name into their being as they dry and come alive. “Your target is ___. Sink your poisonous fangs into their heels over and over. ___ is surrounded by you, who are their enemies.” Of course you can change the wording to your situation. 

Once they’re all dry, take them into your local secluded area and bury them deep in the ground. If you can’t do that, take them to a local river and let the currents carry them.

This is not a spell that will dwindle or stop on its own. You will need to create four similar ones (of the same mud batch) if you wish to end the curse. To do this, you would take the similar ones and burn them when you wish for it to end.

Idk who needs to hear this but bisexuality includes trans people. Not "it can" include trans people or it "sometimes" includes trans people. It does. It always has. Any bisexual who says there's doesn't is just a transphobe and doesn't fucking represent what we're about.

The Strokes about dinosaurs

Fab: I like the stegosaurus because he was a vegetable-eating motherfucker but he was still a badass. And he had that fucking tail that had the spikes and he had those fucking things that went up and down his back and he was great.

Julian: I don’t really have a favourite dinosaur

Nick: I like the pterodactyl just because it starts with a ‘p’

Nikolai: I haven’t given this any thought before today and I don’t think I’m going to start now

Fab: Herbivore! That’s the word, not vegetable eating motherfucker.

Albert: I like the brontosaurus because he’s got that long neck and he sits there and munches in the tree.

Fab: And he was the biggest dinosaur.

Albert: He was huge, like the elephant or something. He was always, like, ‘ Hey what’s up? I’m just hanging out’

Fab: He (pointing at Nick) likes the pterodactyl because it starts with a ‘p’

Albert: Its starts with a ‘p’? Get the fuck out of here.

Nick: Its true. ‘Pt’, the first two letters of pterodactyl.

Albert: Shit, that’s a good reason to like it

Fab: In that case, I like psychiatrists, because they start with a ‘p’ too.

i never talk about these things but i can’t remain silent.

i know tumblr doesn’t give a SHIT when things happen in countries outside the “most popular ones” (such as the usa & england). it’s true, don’t lie to me. y’all don’t give A FUCK. not every issue and problem in said countries gets the appropriate exposure but in general shit shows up on the news WORLD FREAKING  WIDE. you set up donations, you help out, your spread the word, you say “pray for x”……

southern europe is burning. 

my country is burning.

people are dying - at home, on the road, trying to run away, in their cars.

yesterday my country had 300 active fires.

people are losing EVERYTHING they own.

i have a friend that is on a train right now passing through places that have been burnt to the ground and she says the smoke is so intense it’s getting inside the train and she can barely breathe.

and yet, even though several people (myself included) have been trying to bring awareness to what has been happening in southern europe… what we get from most of you, those not part of the countries suffering, is silence. we don’t ask for money, we don’t ask for shit other than a reblog to spread awareness… something you can delete in 24/48hrs if you wish. 

i don’t know what to tell you. i’m angry. i’m frustrated. i’m disappointed. i feel like i’m screaming into the void. “a reblog does nothing” - you know that’s a damn lie, you know exposure always helps, you know people start paying attention when posts on social media become popular. my country in particular is a small one, we get ZERO exposure. y’all are only starting to figure out we even fucking exist bc of the shit we’ve been winning lately. 

but hell, if the EU doesn’t give a shit, why should some user on tumblr dot com?

again, i don’t know what to tell you so i’ll let the images speak for themselves: 

An image captured by a Nasa satellite shows a thick plume of smoke blowing southward from the Greek island of Chios over the island of Crete

2/3rds of Yemen’s population is at risk for starvation

U.S. arms supplies have been central to the 19,000 Saudi and Emirati-led Coalition airstrikes since the start of the conflict—more than 100 strikes a day for four years

Last year, one third of these strikes hit non-military targets—killing civilians and damaging and destroying infrastructure

KEEP SPREADING YEMEN INFORMATION EVERYWHERE

I hate the fact that nobody helps them when their situation is more than critical

the best mythology professor

In honor of the end of the semester, allow me to introduce my definitely-a-cryptid Classical Mythology professor, who has Einstein hair and who I’ll call Dr. F.

“If you can see the ground outside, and I am not here, assume I am dead. Find my body, give me a proper burial, and then avenge my death.”

“Don’t be a dick about knowing stuff. If you know things, and you are a dick about the fact that you know things, you are my enemy.”

[referring to Apollo] “He’s always the guy who shows up and is like ‘let’s play Wonderwall.’”

“I’m sorry to have to tell you this, but Zeus wasn’t real. There never was a Zeus.”

“You live this life, and then you can earn the Superlife.”

“Have you heard of our lord and savior Poseidon? He’s really terrible.”

“It’s like in Star Wars. Use the Force. Use the Athena lying power.”

“Today I’m going to tell you about a modern poet. His name is Puff Daddy, or P. Diddy.”

“Eagles, am I right?”

*goes to conferences where they only speak Latin*

“Even the sneezes tell us this is gonna happen.”

“Odysseus is like a super-liar, he’s a meta-liar.”

[talking about Odysseus being born] “As soon as he yeeted out.”

“I’m a big fan of toddlers. They’re hilarious assholes.”

“That’s Mercury, not Hermes. Always sketchy.”

“That’s why dogs don’t die in most movies, because most movies are written by dogs.”

“Aphrodite’s like, ‘Suck it up and get in bed, bitch.’”

*describes The Aeneid as “thicc”*

“My whole life is a trick.”

“If you’re a baby, and you’re reading the Aeneid, you say things like, ‘This is just bad Homer fanfiction,’ or, you say, ‘This is just a bunch of propaganda.’ Babies say that.”

“Babies freaking love Homer.”

*makes us vote between Selena Gomez and Coldplay with no context*

*context is that both of them have mythological references in their songs but Coldplay’s don’t make sense*

“None of us are Romans.”

“Anything I pay attention to, I love.”

“The earth is sad and it can’t do anything productive.”

“I not only teach y’all weird-ass shit, I research weirder-ass shit.”

“These confusing words tell us what we should do politically.”

*has us find out our fortune for the day by opening The Aeneid randomly and reading the first line we see*

“These are bad entrails, not good entrails.”

“We haven’t done enough chanting in this class.”

“I’ve had enough of this shit. I’m so done with this fucking semester.”

“I’m so confused.”

“I consider all the squirrels in the world my pets because I love them.”

“I’m not a talented person, that’s why I’m a teacher.”

Greek Gods as Things I’ve Overheard in My School

I got a request for Greek Gods as things I’ve overheard, and since school is- quite possibly the best place for these things, I figured why not!

Zeus: “Bold of you to assume that I can’t be more of an asshole.” Poseidon: “People never drink water in class. Drink water throughout class. Drink water instead of class. Don’t go to class.” Hades: “My math grade is almost lower than my will to live.” Hestia: “Sometimes I just want to sit in that fire pit and roast marshmallows as I let the ashes reclaim me.” Demeter: “They said we need more plants around. Replace me with a plant.” Hera: “I need feminism because clearly my future husband is going to be a dumbass and I want to prove I’m better.” Athena: “I like the smell of old books.” *proceeds to stuff face into textbook* Hermes: “I can steal your heart, yes- but can I steal myself a personality?” Apollo: “Music class these days is just idiots trying to find happiness.” Artemis: “I just want to be gay with an instinct to kill.” Hephaestus: “I want to build myself a girlfriend.” Aphrodite: “Maybe one day people will appreciate my inner beauty and not my numerous pimples.” Dionysus: “Time to get DRUNK!” *chugs water bottle* Persephone: “I love flower crowns. They make me want to-” *cracks knuckles* “Kick ass.”
