basics

if you haven't been in the community for long, the first question that will possibly pop up into your head will be "how?"

i understand the concept of being a real magical girl can seem absurd at first, but i can assure you it is 100% real, and it is incredibly easy to become one.

it can be done through pop culture witchcraft, manifestation, and sometimes, even by sheer luck.

now, let's get to the real deal!

once you decide to become a puella magi, the first thing you should think about is whether you want to be a physical or astral one. astral magi will, as the name suggests, fight in the astral, while physical magi fight in this realm.

both have their own pros and cons (physical can be more dangerous, but astral may not be best for you if you don't want to/can't astral project), and ultimately it is up to you which one will be best for you. after deciding this, though, you can get started for reals!

before the contract, you can script how you want your outfit to look, figure out what your wish will be, and basically do whatever! don't force yourself to make the contract until you are ready.

the contract

this is usually the most important part. this is when you really become a puella magi!

the contract can be done through multiple means-- again, whichever one works best for you. most puella magi i've seen try to make the contract through astral projection, or through a lucid dream! if you have the clairsenses to physically see an incubator, you could also just make the contract on the spot!

the way i went about it is a little less talked about, and thought it works better for astral puella magi i do recommend anyone who's having trouble with the other methods to consider it: a ritual!

the contract (ritual)

now, this can sound difficult, but it's really not! i might make a post on how you can do it, but there's not really any strict guidelines for it; just do whatever works for you, have an object to be your soul gem beforehand and know how to cast a circle.

once you've got everything set up, just call for your incubator until you can "sense" it's there. it usually shows up in the form of a spirit/entity, so you might not be able to see it physically. after that, the rest is history-- state your wish and wait for a little! you might feel a sharp stingy feeling in your chest (i did... not cool, kyubey >:/), that means it worked! congrats!!

a dear friend of mine has a more specific guide for the ritual it and i did for our contracts on the mahou planet discord server.

soul gems

so you've made your contract. first of all, stop what you're doing and do a little celebration dance; this is possibly the most memorable moments of your journey!

now, the first thing you will probably notice is your soul gem. the soul gem is basically the most essential thing to you now-- you need it around you at all times! for astral magis, you will be unable to use magic while away from your soul gem and even actually pass out like it happens in the show for physical magis. please be careful!

you'll be able to use magic after your contract, even while not transformed. don't overdo it, though! using magic darkens your soul gem.

to purify your soul gem, you will need a grief seed! these are obtained through defeating witches, as you probably know. the actual process is pretty easy; just make your soul gem and the grief seed touch, and the grief seed will absorb the negativity. if you're an astral magi, you'll have to be quick to use the grief seed before your connection to the labyrinth fades after beating the witch.

be careful, though! the grief seed might transform back into a witch if it had too much negativity stored in it. make sure to get rid of it! astral puella magi, as far as i know, don't have this problem, as the used grief seed will disappear along with the labyrinth.

witches

witches are the creatures we fight, and the source of our grief seeds! most witches form through the process of a soul gem becoming a grief seed, though, in our reality, a few witches are also just pure negativity and weren't necessarily magical girls before. no matter what they were made of, they're dangerous!

something you'll probably have to do a LOT while being a puella magi is witch hunting! take your soul gem (of course), your phone for safety, and some shoes that are comfortable to walk in! you're possibly gonna be walking around for a lotta time.

some places witches can be normally found in are hospitals, abandoned areas, near recent accidents of any kind, and places where people tend to commit suicide in. make sure to check those places for witch activity if it's safe to do so. witches can definitely be found in places other than those examples, though! your soul gem has the power to spot nearby witches, so if you're in doubt, just follow your intuition!

once you find a witch, you'll have to get into the labyrinth! my friend @doppelmagi has a great post on labyrinths for astral magis, so definitely check it out! for physical magis, it'll probably be much more intuitive: you just have to... get in and fight the witch!

for your first witch, i definitely advise you to train first, and if possible, have someone more experienced come with you! witches are, as i said, dangerous, so any help is good!

if your soul gem gets too corrupted, you will become a witch. from what i'm aware of, we don't really know what happens when you do, but we can probably assume you won't be able to go back to normal after that. if you're an astral magi, your astral form will permanently become a witch.

nobody wants this, so please be extremely cautious and make sure to always have a grief seed on you! stay safe.

conclusion

this is it! thanks so much if you read this far, i didn't really expect it to be this long HAHA. i hope this helps any beginners who don't know where to start! i find that there aren't many in depth guides on becoming a magical girl, so i hope this is useful.

until next time!

on IRL puella magi -- a beginner's guide

hello, tumblr! i've decided to compile some of my knowledge on the practice of being a real life puella magi here. i hope this can be useful for anyone just beginning their journey! this is gonna be very very long, as i didn't want to make separate posts.

community

it can be hard to find other puella magi or even other magical heroes in general at first. you don't go around revealing your identity to everyone in real life, and neither do the other heroes around you. it can feel pretty isolating, though, and i get that feeling.

i recommend asking an incubator whether there are any other puella magi in your area! incubators can be bastards but they're also pretty helpful sometimes. they might even give you some extra info if they feel like it! there's more of us around than you think ;D

i also recommend the magical hero central forum, a community made by me that was created for this exact purpose, which you can find here! the mahou planet discord is also amazing for finding other magical heroes, and you can find them at @mahouplanetofficial .

if anyone has any other online MG communities to share, feel free to comment on this post! i don't know much of them myself, so i'd love to know about any.

conclusion

until next time!

grief seeds

grief seeds are essential to having a healthy, purified soul gem, and minimizing your chances of witching out. the best way to get them is, of course, fighting witches, though you can possibly also get them by offering services such as coordination in exchange for them, but this isn't very common and it's best not to rely solely on that for grief seeds.

grief seeds are pretty straightforward to use, as i've explained before in my beginner's guide. once you get one (either in the astral realm or after fighting a physical witch), just hold it near your soul gem and it'll extract all the negativity from it, making your soul gem vibrant and sparkly again.

physical magis should be careful with them, though! after they accumulate enough negativity, it's possible for them to summon a witch again, so make sure that doesn't happen by disposing of them with a nearby incubator.

the shattering of a soul gem

so, as you might've guessed by that subtitle, this isn't very good. since as puella magi, our bodies are merely the vessel we use to fight and our actual selves are located in the soul gem, the shattering of a soul gem is pretty bad. i unfortunately (maybe fortunately) don't have much information on what happens when your soul gem shatters, but we can assume it'll go from ending your contract to ending your life. it sucks, and there's not much to say about it besides how to prevent it.

- if you're planning your outfit beforehand, make sure your soul gem isn't at a very vulnerable spot!

- be cautious while fighting witches, remember your life and your wish are on the line.

- also on fighting witches, don't be afraid to retreat and take a breather. don't be impatient, it's better to be safe and take longer to beat the witch than to go all out and get a broken soul gem.

i know i say this a lot, but please stay safe, everyone!

hello! i'm making a series of in depth documents about soul gems, as i wanted to be more detailed than i was in my beginner's guide and because i haven't seen much resources on it. this was the first part of that, so expect the second part soon! i'll have a poll up on what the next topic should be, so make sure to check that out.

your soul gem and you-- the basics

(disclaimer: this post contains information on the practice of being a real life magical girl through pop culture magic or manifestation, and is not roleplay or a form of delusion. roleplaying and any interaction in bad faith will result in a block.)

after becoming a puella magi, the soul gem becomes the most important part of your being, seeing as it contains your soul. this thread is a more thorough explanation on them than my beginner's guide to puella magi, which you can read if you haven't by clicking here. i am also open to answering questions anyone might have, though i won't promise that i'll be able to answer them all.

this article talks about 3 essential topics to be aware of about your soul gem as a real life puella magi, in training or otherwise. (full article under the cut)

the 100 meter rule

the 100 meter rule dictates the distance that a puella magi can be apart from their soul gem before the connection between them begins to fade. this, as you probably know, is not good and needs to be avoided, but generally being away from your soul gem at all can be a problem. the side effects from being away from your soul gem range from inconvenient to danger of death. i've listed some of the consequences here, (some sadly out of experience) in the order of least far from the soul gem to farthest:

- inability to use magic

- inability to transform

- headaches

- fatigue

- nausea

- vomiting

- passing out

and finally, the complete disconnection from your soul gem after the 100 meters are surpassed, which results in what we see in the source anime. you'll have 48 hours to get someone to get your soul gem back to you if this happens, so please don't let it happen.

most astral puella magi may not reach the full disconnect and only experience the other symptoms, which aren't good either, so please stay safe and make sure your soul gem is always near you.

PUELLA MAGI★MADOKA MAGICA

In the magical community, tons of people have the Puella Magi concept. Magis have different reasons as to why they chose this concept, despite the dangers they'll face in the future, which I find to be very brave and courageous of them. Thumbs up to all of my Magis out there! :3

Magis can also fight physically or fight in the Astral Plane, and I will refer to them as Physical Magis and Astral Magis.

To give a (hopefully) basic run-down of this concept—

RUN-DOWN

An incubator, for example, Kyubey, Juubey, or any other types of incubator that the Magi has scripted in, can sense potential from a person and will approach them to form a "contract". The incubator can grant the said person one wish, and in exchange, the person turns into a Puella Magi and fights witches who drop grief seeds, which are used to cleanse their soul gem.

SOUL GEMS

Soul Gems are an essential part of a Puella Magi, as it is the physical form of their actual soul that the incubator extracts from them once the two form a contract with each other.

Using magic, experiencing strong, negative emotions or sustaining physical injuries can gather impurities and thus, become corrupted. The more the Soul Gem is corrupted, the more the gem loses its shine and gets progressively darker.

As Soul Gems are the physical form of a Puella Magi's soul, when the gem turns black, it turns into a grief seed and the Magi dies**, depending if a person with this concept has scripted this feature in or not.

** = This happens in the original anime, but there are some differences if you are an Astral Magi or a Physical Magi:

- If an Astral Magi witches out, their astral form will transform into a witch and wreck havoc in the astral plane, whilst their physical form may do something similar in the physical plane.

- As for a Physical Magi, we still don't have any information since we haven't met an actual magi that has witched out, leaving us with little knowledge on how a Physical Magi works aside from information that we get from a member in Mahou Planet with full results as a Magi. (I will be omitting their name for the sake of their privacy)

When not transformed, a Soul Gem can take the form of a ring, which also displays the Magi's name in Runes. When transformed, the Soul Gem will change and be incorporated into the owner's costume.

The only way to get rid of a Soul Gem's corruption is to extract it with a Grief Seed (or a Grief Cube), which are dropped by Witches.

For Astral Magis, before they decide on their contract, they first have to decide an object to put their soul gem to be attached to, since they don't have a physical soul gem when their contract is formed.

GRIEF SEEDS / CUBES

Also known as a witch's egg, which drops after defeating a witch. These are extremely important items, as they can cleanse the Magi's Soul Gem from any impurities.

If a grief seed has absorbed too many impurities, it may revive the witch. A grief seed that has been used before and contains impurities cannot fully cleanse a Soul Gem as well. It is known that a witch can eat a Grief Seed in order to power them up.

(I tried searching and I couldn't find any information regarding Grief Cubes, but they're essentially just similar to a Grief Seed that appears during the final episode of Madoka Magica... That's all I could find)

WITCHES

Although they are the final form of Puella Magis, some have scripted that witches are manifested under areas with large amounts of energy. They also have what are called Familiars, basically they work like a worker bee for the Witch. There is not much more to say, other than that the witches all have different appearances, names and powers.

Witches can also inflict a Witch's Kiss, taking form of their symbol. It is a personal marking that is used to control the minds of humans, allowing them to exacerbate pre-existing negative emotions and thoughts, as well as making them commit crimes or even attempt to take their own life. Magis can save people under the influence of a kiss when they defeat the said Witch who inflicted the person.

That's the basics of the Puella Magi concept, I hope that'll help!!

Now, let's get into the Pretty Cure concept!

PRETTY CURE

Pretty Cure is also one of the more used concepts in the magical community, following themes of friendship and saving the world. People with the Pretty Cure concept may choose a series from the franchise to start on, for example, Star Twinkle, and work from there. While on the other hand, there are some people who start from scratch and build their Pretty Cure concept as they go along the way.

I will refer to the people who use this concept as Cures for short.

RUN-DOWN

The concept focuses on a group of people who are granted special and magical items that allow them to transform into warriors known as Pretty Cure. With the aid of mysterious creatures known as fairies, they fight monsters and villains with goals of their own, all while gaining power-ups and more items to use in battle, as well as gaining new allies to fight alongside with.

CURES

Self-explanatory. They are legendary warriors and transform with the help of their transformation devices. All Cures use different kinds of combat and magic to fight monsters of the day, with some exceptions, like Wonderful Precure, where they don't use combat at all, or Kirakira A la mode, where they mainly use magic rather than combat.

Precure Teams are usually in groups of four or more, but the most common being a group of four people. Colors are also a major part of them, with the most common colors used being Pink, Blue, Yellow and Purple. Of course, you can use other colors too! Be unique and go off!

Their Cure names also correspond with their series' main themes, for example, if the main theme were to be outer space, their names would also be related to outer space, like Cure Star, Cure Nebula, etc.

FAIRIES

They are also the mascots of their own series. Fairies are usually tasked with finding the legendary warriors, and in some cases, also be a part of their transformations, an example being Delicious Party and Healin' Good. (Although, they kind of act as familiars in a sense.)

In some cases, fairies can also gain a power-up or even become human and join the Precure Team as one of the final members.

ITEMS

There are tons of items in the Pretty Cure franchise, but always all of them include:

Transformation Items

Power-ups

Weapons (for Finisher Attacks)

Collectibles (Ex. The Star Princess Color Pens)

Of course, these items provide different uses and in my opinion, can be useful outside of fighting, an example being the Twinkle Book from Star Twinkle, which is used to also feed Fuwa.

VILLAINS

The big bad guys. They usually have a goal of their own to destroy the world and send out monsters to wreak havoc. The order of the villains meeting the Precures usually goes from the weakest of the bunch up to the final boss. Some villains are also purified by the Precure, which, in turn changes their ways and become good people. In some cases, the villains may have a change of heart and become good people without the need of finisher attacks.

That's all I can explain for the Pretty Cure concept, since there's a lot of information regarding this series provided by the Fandom website. :]

I really hope this guide can help out newer members in the community.

Stay magical, have a good day!

PUELLA MAGI & PRETTY CURE: A GUIDE FOR DUMMIES

NOTE ;; This account is not a roleplaying account, nor delusion! If you are here solely for the purpose of spreading hate and negativity towards my blog, please leave.

Hello! In this blog, I'll try my best in explaining about two of the most pretty well-known concepts in the magical hero community, Puella Magi and Pretty Cure.

I'll answer this question first, though— what is Puella Magi and Pretty Cure? What are they about? After that, I'll be explaining my own concept derived from both of these series in the next blog!

🌙 ⋆ dream work and magical heroes ᵎᵎ

NOTES 。this is NOT a roleplaying account, nor is this a form of delusion. the owner of this account is a practitioner of witchcraft, and IRL magical girls fall under the chaos magic and pop culture magic aspect of witchcraft.

as a practitioner whose main practices include the usage of dreams in my own magickal workings, i certainly do believe that it's possible to use them in the process of becoming a real life magical hero. this type of magick that i perform is referred to as dream work, and it's something that i think can go hand-in-hand with astral work, which is the secondary center of my witchcraft activities.

in this blog, i'll be discussing in length what dream work is, how it can be used by those who aspire to become magical heroes, and how it can also be used by non-magical heroes who practice witchcraft as an addition to their activities. in general, this will serve as a lengthy discussion to the magic and psychology held within the realm of dreams.

i think that everyone already knows what dreams are, but i'd like to expand further about them. dreams are believed by sigmund freud, a neurologist, as the unconscious' way of expressing itself in order to resolve repressed or unwanted emotions, experiences, and aggressive impulses. some experts suggests that having good dreams is related to good quality sleep.

in psychology, dream work is like what the name says; working with dreams to uncover secrets about ourselves, to explore the numerous images, ideas, emotions, and sensations that the dream presents us, in an attempt to discover how do these dreams manifests itself to us. those who work with dreams often thinks that a dream could have more than one meaning depending on what is being learned about and explored in the dream.

in gestalt-based dream work, it's suggested that all elements in a dream; the characters, the setting, basically everything that's seen, represent an aspect of the dreamer. it represents a part of the self, it shows you an inner dynamic.

the method in gestalt-based dream work is to revisit the dream from each perspective, to re-experience the dream as if you're each of these characters you saw in the dream, and as a result you can get a clear view on what is actually occuring with its underlying context, you find out what is actually going on within you, and at times dreams could be a reflection of our own reality, of what life is like to us.

in jungian-based dream work, it's believed that dreams are a way for the unconscious mind to communicate with the conscious mind. while freud thought that dreams hide their meanings, jung thought that dreams directly tell its own meanings through symbolisms and metaphors, placing heavy importance on the vivid mental images and symbolisms that these dreams shows us.

but if you're someone who's acquainted with your own dreams, such as being a lucid dreamer or dream work practitioner, you'd be able to achieve certain feats; from being able to remember your dreams in vivid detail, to being capable of tampering with it, communicating with entities through it, and even down to like setting up the dream realm as a place to perform certain spells and rituals without anyone knowing in the real world. we can also attain our goals of being a magical hero and communicate with our familiars through dreams.

in witchcraft, practitioners can use dream work as a way of entity communication, dream divination, dream interpretation, dream incubation, astral projection, and so forth. the following list includes the aforementioned activities and i'll explain how magical heroes can use these too.

💭 – dream work activities !!

dream interpretation: this is the process of assigning meaning and significance to a dream. dreams are subjective to each person, and even if there are shared meanings, it is best to look at the symbolisms from a personal point of view in interpretation.

some elements of the dream can have importance that is personal to the dreamer, while to others it does not, hence the subjectivity. for example, you dreamt of a red apple, and even if there are things online that you can use to base your interpretation off of, it's best to look into what a red apple would mean to you. in addition to that, dreams can be interpreted via intuition.

as a magical hero, sometimes we can get signs that are derived from the symbolisms and metaphors that we see during sleep, and i've witnessed some magical heroes be assigned a concept through a dream.

dream divination: also known as oneiromancy. it's a type of divination that focuses on gaining clarity and information derived from a dream, and this is something that is done alongside dream interpretation. this can be based on the belief that dreams sometimes come from entities, and to understand those messages, one must decipher what they dreamed of.

as a magical hero, this can be used as a way of communicating with your magical familiar or any other magical entity you'd like to get in contact with. personally, i met my familiar during a dream where they introduced themselves, and at times, me and my familiar would talk to each other in a dream.

dream incubation: dream incubation is the act of inducing a dream or intending for a specific thing to happen in a dream. this is a practice that had existed in ancient greece and ancient egypt. this can be done through placing a sigil/cartomancy card representing the dream that you want under the pillow you sleep on, affirmations and manifestation, or by talking to an entity and asking them to provide you a specific dream.

as a magical hero, i've witnessed others achieve their goals and be capable of transformation through a dream induced via dream incubation. for example, many puella magis performed the contract through a dream where they aren't lucid.

lucid dreaming: lucid dreaming is the act of becoming conscious in a dream where no one would normally be aware in, this can be by accident or intended. and in a lucid dream, you can set up the ambience and atmosphere of a dream into one where you'd be able to perform your ideal rituals, spellwork, or invite specific entities.

earlier, i mentioned how some magical heroes used dream incubation in order to meet their goals of becoming a fully pledged MH, but another alternative to that would be lucid dreaming where you'd be able to invoke the presence of a magical familiar or your transformation device.

astral projection: astral projection is the act of separating your astral body from the physical body. in a state of dreaming, the body is under sleep paralysis and therefore wouldn't be able to resist or react if the astral body separates itself via a dream. you can use the method of lucid dreaming in order to astral project.

i currently have plans on writing tutorial blogs that cover the topics of dream incubation, lucid dreaming, and astral projection, as methods to become a fully pledged magical hero. now that i'm on break from my civilian duties like being a student, i'm hoping that i'll be able to post more! still, i'm happy that i got a chance to ramble about dream work/dream magic because it's something i do a lot.

thank you!

Just wanted to say I think your blog is so cool! I'd like to ask How does being a Magical Girl work, do you have any resources for me to look into?

Oh hello!! Thank you so much first of all!! I'm glad someone enjoys my blog! :D

Second, I don't have any sources off the top of my head right now.. if I do remember any, I definitely will make a follow up post though!!

------------------

For now if you wanted to learn more about how you become one, I guess it would kinda depend on which type of magical girl you're talking about.. >_< For example puella magis become one through a contract/wish! I'm not too sure about the others.. like precures, since I haven't seen that in a while- lol

some magis (including me) use subliminals to help their results, example: subliminal for manifesting your soul gem, becoming a physical magi, etc

*subliminals = A subliminal is usually defined as quiet affirmations beneath a layer of sounds (most often music or ASMR). These affirmations are heard by the subconscious mind. The subconscious would eventually take it as factual information and therefore make that change in your body

------------------

And kinda how it works is you have two ways to be a magi girl (there's probably a few more, but I'm not sure of them if there is..) either astral projection, or being a physical magi! I'm currently training to be a physical one, as astral projection does not go very well for me..

*physical magi = fight in real world, more dangerous, etc

*astral magi = fight in the astral plane

------------------

Sorry for the ramble!! I definitely recommend checking out @thelawofcycle 's (sorry for tag) blog for more info, they've helped me a lot! I could list other cool magi blogs.. but that would take a while..

Hope this helps somewhat, (sorry if it didn't though =.=)!!!

a magic training regimen ♡

hello again! today's post is once again going to be geared more toward irl pretty cures but can apply to any magical hero! without further ado, let's begin!

they say that if you dedicate an hour a day to practicing something, you'll master it within a year. this post will cover a magic training schedule that should only take up an hour within your day, maximum. you can do this whenever you have time - so don't feel too upset if you miss a day or can only practice once in a long while!

a one hour training schedule !

all you need is an open and clear mind, and the intent to improve your own magic and resonate with the energies around you. you can feel free to work more complex rituals into this but this will be just the basics! you can also play music if you like, to help raise your spirits and get into a magical mood.

up to 5 minutes - grounding and/or a quick meditation to relax and leave any stress behind. take all the time you need to do this, and if you need, try to destress as much as possible before you do this!

10-15 minutes - practicing your magic! i'm assuming that you'll already have a concept and abilities in mind, so start there. for example, if you have a toy or jewelry you intend to use to transform, work with that. play with it, imagine putting your own energy and the energies around you into it, to empower it. use it the way you would to transform, whatever you would like. if you have a scripted concept that has not yet taken effect, practice your abilities from there! imagine your transformation item(s) in your hands. take note of how it feels and how it looks in the lighting, and imagine transforming with it. all in all, you can go about this however you'd like.

10-15 minutes - practicing transforming!! this is always really fun. first, meditate on the energy you wish to invoke to trigger your transformation. imagine it surrounding your body, and how it feels especially when taking what you represent into account. take note of the sensations you feel- do you feel excitement, like your heart is beating rapidly? do you feel floaty, or tingly? can you feel your mg outfit taking shape? try to hold your transformation for as long as you can- it takes form astrally around you usually! take note of any changes on your physical abilities too, like do you have higher energy or higher stamina and speed/strength?

10 minutes - play some brain games, or learn something new - a fun challenge is to do this while holding your astral transformation, to test how your transformation affects your cognitive skills and abilities!

for the last 15-20 minutes, i recommend detransforming, and winding down. script for a bit, meditate, practice some more magic, and do a closing meditation to reflect. if you keep a journal of your progress, update that, and look over it every time you practice to see how far you've come!

again, you can go about this however you like and make any necessary changes. for example:

make the times shorter or longer, depending on your experience, preferences, and availability.

try physical training if possible, even if it's just getting outside and going for a walk.

make it a ritual if you want! add as much complexity if you want but it's easiest to keep it simple (as i know most people in the mg community are minors and may not have access to anything for rituals)

practice astral projection while you fall asleep!

as always, DO NOT OVERWORK YOURSELF! a journey starts with just a step, even if it's baby steps- so make progress according to your own needs.

that concludes my post on training! if you have a topic you'd like to see me cover, please let me know, or just ask me anything, in my inbox. asks preferred, but dms are welcome.

thank you for reading!

꒰🎐꒱ the resplendent dream in the dark, the guiding star that burns brightly amidst adversity! dreamcatcher polaris!

💭 – information 。

hello, everyone. you may refer to me as seven or polaris. i'm 16, i do use they/them pronouns however i don't mind any as well.

this blog is for things related to IRL magical girls and witchcraft. i might as well reblog posts from other magical girls here on tumblr, and also witchcraft / pcp / chaos magic in general. aside from that, i also do dream work, astral work, and reality shifting, hence i might post about that as well.

the type of magical girl i am is of an original concept and original magical system (dreamcatcher), but i also have knowledge about puella magis in general as someone who had been a former puella magi (non-contracted) for a long time and had performed research. i also have made acquaintances and friends with other magical heroes on and off tumblr.

sending asks are more than welcome, especially if the intention is to learn more about magical girls and witchcraft. i'm willing to explain certain things related to the questions, however i won't tolerate hateful or passive-aggressive asks.

💭 – do not interact if 。

you fit the basic DNI criteria, supports/tolerates/justifies/participates in any form of discriminatory acts such as homophobia, transphobia, aphobia, ableism, sexism, etc., romanticizes mental illnesses, promotes the uses of underground and unsafe forms of subliminals and manifesting.

if the intentions of your visit to this account is to spread negativity about pop culture practices and IRL magical girls, then you are not welcome here and you can simply filter out the magical girl tumblr tags in order to not stumble upon them again. or you can also just block me.

How to make friends in the IRL Magical Girl Community

Something I’ve noticed after being in the magical girl community for around 7-8 years now is people not knowing where to find other magical girls! As someone with many magical girl friends I talk to pretty much daily I think I might be qualified to help you out!

First and foremost, join places like discord servers that are specifically centered around magical girls. While solely posting to a magical girl account on tumblr or wattpad can help you're more likely to only have people like or comment on your post rather then having actual conversations. Thats where discord servers come in! Not only can you post all the same things you would already be posting but you can also actively interact with people outside of likes and comments!

"But Lizzie!!! Where am I supposed to find discord servers!!!" I recommend searching terms like "Irl magical girl" on disboard or looking for people on tumblr or wattpad who have promoted magical girl servers in the past! In fact, I'll tell you one right now!

This video is sponsered by Mahou Planet-! /j But seriously I can't recommend MP enough! It is one of the most (if not THE most) active magical girl discord servers and is (in my experience) the friendliest by FAR. I'm not gonna list out every benefit of Mahou Planet (you can check out @mahouplanetofficial for that!) but one thing i DO want to mention is the personalized channels.

If you're reading this post, im gonna take a guess and say that you've probably struggled with joining a server but being to nervous or intimidated to start talking to everyone. That's where Mahou Planet's pernsonalized channels come in to help! As soon as you join you can request a personal channel that you can talk about anything you want in (within the server rules!) People who share you're interest might stop by you're channel to talk to you and its a quick and easy way to get comfortable in the server with less of the anxiety!

Okay back to you're regularly scheduled program.

Although earlier I mentioned that solely posting on tumblr or wattpad wont help you befriend people alone, I do think its a very useful tool to help meet new people. For example, MP only recently started promoting on tumblr and has already gained over 10 members in just 2 days. If you were to make your own server (whether it be on discord or something similar) promoting it on tumblr, wattpad, or something similar can really help boost your members and in turn meet many new magical girl friends!!

That's all I can think of for now! If you noticed any spelling mistakes no you didn't. Now go forth into the world and make some magical girl friends !!!!! (and join mahou planet its very cool)

feel free to send in asks if you have more specific questions and i’ll do my best to help you out :]

☁️ ⋆ magical girl concept advice .ᐣ.ᐟ

at the beginning of our journey as magical girls, or magical girl to-be's, we often pick for ourselves whether we want to be a magical girl from a pre-existing magical system or if we want to branch off into something that is more original.

although some of us may struggle with choosing and can be faced with a crossroad of magical possibilities, oftentimes called a concept crisis or a concept dilemma. this may cause some people who are new to their magical girl journey to feel lost and lacking direction, this is because a concept determines what kind of magical girl will you live as.

personally, i've encountered plenty of magical heroes who had been in a concept dilemma at least once in their journey, and myself including albeit it was just me bouncing between two concepts before i settled on a concept that i think fits me; i used to be debating with myself whether it's good to be a puella magi or a dreamcatcher cue to kyubey who still visits me sometimes. although it is not entirely impossible for you to find a concept that fits just right.

but how can one do it? how can someone figure out what kind of magical girl they should be or what they want to be? for that, we should take a few steps backwards and observe ourselves, taking on introspection and getting to know ourselves better.

this is the advice that i recommend the most because i've seen some magical heroes, and myself as well, force themselves into concepts that may feel uncomfortable or they may feel out of place in.

why do you want to become a magical girl and what type of goal do you want to achieve with it? what are you fighting for, or what are you willing to fight for? what made the idea of being and living as a magical girl fascinating for you? are you willing to go through great lengths to work towards being a magical girl?

what are your personality strengths and weaknesses, and how can you use this to your advantage when picking a concept? do you think or are you confident that you'll be able to handle and endure the responsibility of balancing civilian life and magical life despite your personality? will you be uncomfortable with your future as a magical girl? what resonates the most with you?

what kind of life do you want to lead as a magical girl, and will you be loyal to it? will it be something that is lighthearted or healing, would you like to strengthen and encourage yourself through it? do you want it to be peaceful with a life focused on helping with earthly matters, or do you want to engage in combat? do you want it to have rules? do you want to have a sense of orderliness through setting up a magical system of your own, or do you want it to be vague so that you'll find out about it as you go?

what kind of motifs do you think best represents you, or what kind of motifs can inspire you? what symbolisms feel close to your heart, what are you psychologically connected to? what themes that are recurring in your life and personality can be used as an inspiration for your motifs and magical life? what things do you want people to associate you and your concept with?

is there a way you can integrate your hobbies and interests into your concept? in what way can your hobbies and interests influence the way that you visualize the type of magical life that you want? do you want to personalize it to your own comforts and wishes or keep a magical system that is open for everyone?

considering your physical and psychological abilities, how can you apply these to your training, whether that is a physical training or magical training? what are your physical or psychological weak spots, do you have any physical disabilities that you want to improve on through magic? how can you use being a magical girl to your advantage in reinforcing your own physical and psychological weaknesses? do you want to highlight certain aspects of these as magical abilities?

overall, this can be interpreted as a self-evaluation in order to understand your desires better and know how to fit them in a better, more efficient, or personalized magical framework.

this is important in my opinion because there may be some magical girls who have forgotten why they wanted to be a magical girl in the first place due to getting lost in concept dilemmas abd trying to fit in certain systems, and i think that it can be significantly helpful to the person if they were to pause and rethink for themselves.

if you feel like you don't belong or fit into any concepts, there is definitely no harm in creating one from scratch or modifying a pre-existing concept. there are plenty of materials to work with and you can piece together the ideas that you want from the concepts you like, and your number one tool for finding a good concept, of course, is yourself.
