Magickal Household Plant Master Post
Since I’m on a plant kick today because I’ve decided to give my green thumb a try, I’m creating this master post relating to household plants. This is especially useful for witches like myself who don’t know the first thing about taking care of a plant inside the house besides watering and letting the darn thing get some sun! So, here we go:
Common TOXIC (as in you may not want to get these if you have kids or pets) household plants and their properties:
*Lillies, as well as the Peace Lily - love, comfort, harmony
*Ivy - protection, drive away negativity, promote fidelity and fertility
*Poinsetta - purity, celebration of winter holidays
*Snake plant (aka Mother-in-law’s Tongue) - long life, prosperity, beauty, health, strength, intelligence
*Dumb cane - for keeping secrets and starting gossip (not recommended for a magickal household)
*Arrowhead plant/vine - brings luck
*Myrtle - love, fertility, youth, peace, money
*Mistletoe - protection, love, hunting, fertility, health, exorcism
*Amaryllis - hidden or platonic love, friendship, retirement
*Gardenias - love, peace, healing, spirituality, psychic awareness
*Fig (aka weeping fig, fig tree, ficus, ficus tree) - divination, fertility, love, prosperity, guards against poverty and hunger if placed in kitchen, aids in restful sleep if placed in bedroom
Common NON-TOXIC household plants and their properties:
*Aloe - wards against evil, protection from intruders and household accidents, brings good luck (also great for burns and good for your skin)
*African Violet - love, protection, promotes peace and spirituality
*Lavendar - love, friendship, calm, protection
*Spider plant - protection, healing, absorb negativity while improving the energy and air quality of your home
*Bamboo - protection, luck, hex-breaking, wishes, protection, helps with depression
*Orchid - love, power, charisma
*Ferns (some ARE toxic, however the Boston Fern is not) - protection, luck, can aid in summoning rain
*Ti plant - good luck, can be used to attract money if you place a coin under it
*Succulents (hens and chicks, burro/donkey tail, etc.) - love, abundance
*Palms - spirituality, good vibes, protection from unwanted spirits, ghosts, astral entities
*Cacti (non-toxic, yet can still be painful for kids and pets if they touch the spines) - protection, strengthens will, increases sexual stamina if juices are added to a love potion, guards against intruders if a cactus is placed in the North, East, South and Western points of your home
*Jasmine - love, money, prophetic dreams, seduction
*Other plants and veggies that can be grown indoors
Plant Spells:
*Magickal Soil Spell
*Spell to Speed the Growth of Your Plant
*Plant Growth Spell
*Plant Enchantment
Plant Sigils:
*”Pests will avoid my plants” by @sigilcrafter
*”These plants are free of pests” by @sigilathenaeum
*”My plants will survive and thrive” by @sigilathenaeum
Crystals Good for Plants:
*Moss Agate (aka the Gardener’s Stone) - prosperity, vitality, helps plants thrive and will assist plant growth, wearing moss agate while planting/gardening will increase your green thumb and give you energy, assosciated with nature spirits
*Green Jasper - aids in luxurious growth of your plants
*Green Calcite - healing, can be used to soothe when the environment is too loud, associated with Earth spirits of woods and meadows
*Clear Quartz - aids in growth and vitality, grounding, can also be placed in a vase of freshly cut flowers to help them last longer
*Rose Quartz - especially beneficial for roses as it maintains their bloom longer
*Smokey Quartz - keeps pests away
*Tourmaline - healing
*Amethyst - calms plants that are stressed
*Jet - can be worn to make plants flourish
*Green Fluorite - healing, especially good to use for a plant that has been injured or broken in some way
*Moonstone - fertility, encourages healthy plants and flowers, promotes a soothing, restful area

I grew up identifying as a Christian for about 18 years, began to reject that lifestyle and am now gently exploring paganism. Do you have any tips for a beginner?
First, try some of the tags on the blog! (To figure out how to search a blog’s tags look here). Look through the pagan and paganism tags, look through any specific types that might interest you, like neo-pagan or heathen or druidry or wicca! Then just learn what you can!
Now you’ll probably start looking for who you want to worship and how. I personally would have liked it if someone told me this in the beginning: take your time and learn from as many as you can. You will find your path when you are ready. In fact, looking for your path means you’re on your path. Every tradition has value and something to teach us. Sometimes that lesson is what not to do, but most of the time you can learn a lot from just about every group in paganism. Everything will come in time and your path is your own - travel it and love life.

Slytherins truly being slytherins.
Slytherins working with Dumbledore’s Army. They spread false rumors about where they’ve sighted students. They join Umbridge’s close circle so that they can learn the moves and plans of the Inquisitorial Squad so that they can warn the DA of when it’s safe to hold practice. They rotate in shifts, some lead the IS on a wild goose chase while their housemates practice with the rest of the army. Sometimes they charm their robes to look like another houses and lead the IS far away from the Room of Requirement as they can before turning a corner and de-charming their robes. They make up stories about chasing students who mysteriously disappear without a trace. Umbridge sends students to search areas of the castle nowhere near the actual Room of Requirement.
As Umbridge tightens her hold on the school, slytherin students try to protect their DA friends. They pass messages of encouragement and support to their friends, veiled in threats and taunts. They bully the loudest, but do the least damage; their housemates think that they’re being cruel, their friends know that they’re shielding them from actual harm.
Slytherin students passing information to the Order while the Golden Trio is hunting for horcruxes, tracking the moves of Death Eaters to the best of their ability. They withstand the dark days in Hogwarts, helping their friends the best they can without looking suspicious. Charmed plastic rats run through the castle hallway, passing messages between the houses. Children of Death Eaters eavesdrop in dark hallways of their homes, holding their breath and straining their ears. When slytherin students suddenly disappear, go home and don’t come back, everyone knew what had happened. They mourned privately and quietly.
DA members and the Order housing slytherin students who can’t go home. Many have to run away, for their own safety. As Voldemort grew in power, it was harder and harder to keep their true intentions a secret. Children of Death Eaters were being pressured to take the Dark Mark, were being drafted to fight for Voldemort, were being told that their friends deserved to die. The students that said no were threatened with death or kicked out of their homes, branded as disgraced traitors. Those who couldn’t stand up to their families slipped away in the night. Some died, at the hands of Death Eaters, at the hands of their own parents.
Slytherin students fighting during the final battle at Hogwarts, standing up against family and friends to protect their home. Staring across the courtyard at their mothers, fathers, siblings, childhood friends. People screaming at them; ‘blood traitors’ ringing through the air of the courtyard, hurled at slytherins who had their shoulders squared and their chins up. Slytherins having to throw charms and jinxes and curses at familiar faces, people they had trusted. Slytherin students killing their loved ones, being given no other choice. Slytherin students dying while standing up for what they believe in.
Slytherin students being more than a stereotype. Slytherins being more than one dimensional villains. Slytherin students being shown as diverse, fully developed characters with a variety of motivations and beliefs. Slytherins being slytherins; proud, ambitious, and cunning. And proving that those things don’t mean being evil.

All withheld records from the JFK assassination will be opened by 2017, unless certified as justifiably closed by the President of the United States.
Ten minutes after President Kennedy was shot, CBS broadcast the first nationwide TV news bulletin on the shooting.
After that, all three television networks, CBS, NBC, and ABC, interrupted their regular programming to cover the assassination for four straight days.
The JFK assassination was the longest uninterrupted news event on television until the coverage of the September 11 attacks in 2001.
