💫witch tip💫

because i once again forgot to add this to my list post, but have something that breaks up the stagnant energy in your rooms. like an analog clock cuz it's hands are always moving. or a lava lamp, or wind chimes.

something to keep energy moving in the room instead of letting it settle and build up

or you can be the movement. nowadays a lot of people are prone to doomscrolling. i personally believe that's a form of stagnant energy or gathering stagnant energy. i hold your hand when i say this (because im not immune to it either) but get up and interact with your space, acknowledge your space, appreciate your space, show some love to the items that surround you because they're there and pixels aren't tangible.

Just 7 low-key basics for any beginning witch:

1) learn how to dress and light a candle without burning your house down. A little oil goes a long way. A lot of oil goes right into a bad situation.

2) learn how to light and position incense so you don’t set off the fire alarms. Fans are an amazing friend. They circulate the smell of the incense to your whole living space, but also diffuses the smoke.

3) do not store your planchette on your ouija board (it’s like leaving your house unlocked).

4) make sure you research oils before you diffuse them if you have animals. I.e citrus straight oils or citrus oil in oil blends make dogs sick and lily oil can kill cats.

And by the gods don’t diffuse banishing oil because you��ll end up with a pepper spray situation.

5) you don’t absolutely need a holder. You just need to soften the bottom of a candle enough (yes with fire) and it will stick to a surface. A flame resistant surface (see rule one about accidentally burning down things).

6) don’t poison the earth with a ring of salt on the grass. Ashes from incense or powdered egg shells works the same. And add nutrients to the soil.

Salt inside, not outside.

And 7) if you live in an apartment or house that will not be friendly to any burning, make your favorite herbs into infusions. You can use them on their own, or mix different ones easily, for any desirable effect. Unlike burning the herbs, smoke detectors shouldn’t go off unless you spray right at them. (Watch for mold in the bottle).

I’m being a touch humerus but I also mean every bit of it.

DIFFERENCES BETWEEN SATANISM, WITCHCRAFT, AND PAGANISM

Satanism is a religious or spiritual philosophy that venerates or reveres the figure of Satan, often symbolizing individualism, personal freedom, and human nature.

Witchcraft is a form of magic or spirituality that involves the use of spells or rituals to achieve specific results.

Paganism is a term used to describe various systems of polytheistic or animistic religions that pre-date christianity and Islam.

While there may be some overlap or similarities between these belief systems, they are distinct and different in their own right.

witch tip

remember: it’s okay to take breaks from witchy practices for whatever period of time is necessary. spells, rituals etc all require some level of energy & if you don't have much, don't run yourself ragged

My 3 Favorite Books ~ as a green witch 🧙🏼‍♀️

These three books have offered huge foundations to my practice and are ones I continue to reread time and time again to inspire and revive my practice and to welcome new wisdom by reading the words from a new perspective. They are great for green witches, druids, or anyone interested in nature based magic. 🌲

The Role Of Hermits

Hermits have long been revered in witchcraft, mysticism, and occult traditions for their roles as seekers of wisdom, spiritual protectors, and keepers of ancient knowledge. The hermit archetype embodies solitude, introspection, and the pursuit of hidden truths. In witchcraft, hermits play a unique role in personal transformation, spiritual guidance, and deep magickal work.

The Archetype of the Hermit in Witchcraft

In many traditions, the hermit is a symbol of wisdom, seclusion, and enlightenment. This is reflected in the Tarot card "The Hermit", which represents introspection, seeking truth, and following an inner light.

Core Traits of the Witch-Hermit:

• Lives in solitude or remote areas (forests, mountains, caves, or secluded homes)

• Devotes time to spiritual study, meditation, and deep magickal practice

• Acts as a guardian of hidden knowledge

• Connects with nature, spirits, and unseen forces

• Often avoids mainstream society, preferring independence

The Hermit as a Guardian of Esoteric Knowledge

Hermits in witchcraft are often seen as keepers of magickal traditions, preserving rituals, herbal knowledge, and lost wisdom. Many folk healers, cunning folk, and wise women historically lived on the edges of society, practicing their craft in seclusion.

Types of Hermit Witches:

• The Forest Witch – Lives deep in the woods, working with plants, spirits, and animals.

• The Solitary Alchemist – Devotes life to philosophy, transformation, and secret experiments.

• The Spirit Walker – Isolated to commune with spirits, ancestors, or astral beings.

• The Prophetic Seer – Uses solitude to enhance visions, divination, and trance work.

• The Temple Keeper – Protects sacred sites, ruins, or hidden places of power.

The Role of Solitude in Witchcraft

Solitude is often essential in witchcraft and magickal development. Many witches embrace temporary or lifelong hermitage to:

• Strengthen their magical abilities – Uninterrupted practice leads to stronger energy work, intuition, and manifestation skills.

• Connect deeply with nature – The natural world provides wisdom, omens, and spiritual allies.

• Enhance psychic abilities – Silence and solitude heighten clairvoyance, dream work, and meditation.

• Undergo spiritual transformation – Many spiritual initiations require time away from society.

Hermits as Teachers and Guides

Though they live in isolation, hermits sometimes serve as mentors, healers, and initiators in witchcraft traditions. In folklore, many powerful witches and sorcerers live alone but help those seeking knowledge.

Examples of Hermit Teachers in Witchcraft & Folklore:

• The Crone in the Woods – An old witch living alone, offering wisdom, potions, or prophecies.

• The Hidden Master – An occultist who teaches only a select few dedicated students.

• The Shamanic Seer – A mystic who communes with spirits and offers guidance.

Modern Witchcraft & Hermit Practices

Many modern witches embrace hermit-like practices to deepen their craft, even if they do not fully withdraw from society.

Ways to Incorporate Hermit Wisdom into Your Practice:

• Solo Rituals & Spellwork – Dedicate time to private rituals, free from distractions.

• Retreats & Solitude – Spend time alone in nature or in a sacred space for spiritual renewal.

• Deep Study & Esoteric Learning – Read ancient texts, practice divination, and refine magickal techniques.

• Energy Work & Meditation – Strengthen intuition, astral travel, and communion with spirits.

• Avoiding Mundane Distractions – Limit exposure to social noise to focus on personal power.

The hermit is a powerful figure in witchcraft, representing wisdom, self-discovery, and mastery of the unseen. Whether you fully embrace solitude or periodically retreat for spiritual work, adopting the hermit’s path can unlock deeper magickal potential, connection with nature, and hidden knowledge.

important life tip regarding the current political climate:

optimism is important.

gratitude is important.

if you are happy, that is wonderful.

but don't let that become ignorance. don't let that blind you from the current events happening around you.

DO NOT allow yourself to be brainwashed into thinking everything is fine when there are people whose rights are being taken away and whose families are being separated from them.

love and light is nice, but you need balance. it's okay to be angry, it's okay to be upset, rightfully so!

and before i get any notes saying "this is a witchcraft blog, stick to that", witchcraft is inherently political. it is what gave the oppressed a sense of power and control over their oppressors.

i will never prioritize a theme or aesthetic over speaking out.

Weekly Rune (Sun, 03/23/25)

Visualize your question or needed advixe for the week and pic one of the three runes

Ready?

As always, Loki is alongside me on these readings and they are done after offerings and meditation.

1. Mannaz

The rune of man (as in mankind), indicates time to self-reflect and observation within yourself and others.  Embrace your journey of self-improvement being aware of everything around you, maybe its time to clean whatever doesn't bring you any more fulfillment or joy, but only keep you trapped in old ways. The universe is within yourself.

2. Sowilo

The rune of the Sun, this rune represents a time of happiness and hope, the beacon of life that makes everything on Earth possible. Embrace the growth, warmth and power and use it wisely, for the Sun is also an uncontrollable force.

3. Berkana

Berkana, the birch tree. This rune represent birth, fertily, growth and the regenerative power of Spring (that just arrived for half of the planet). Take this as an opportunity to invest your energy in what you really wish to see grow and bear fruit - always being mindful of what we wish for, for our intentions are the best nurturers.

witch tip #2

always be open to knowledge + new ways of practicing. & be mindful of culture appropriation & do the proper research

[corner-of-the-wayward-witch]

Hi Tumblr! It's your friendly neighborhood Witch! ^-^

In honor of Spring, new beginnings, and [[attemptlng]] to become a semi-organized Witch rather than a chaotic disorganized mess of one, I decided to start a new, wholly Witchcraft-focused blog! I'm quite excited to see where this goes!! This blog will be, as stated above, for Witchcraft and Witchcraft-related things, which may include [[but are not limited to in any way]]: resources, information, things I find interesting/may believe to be useful, pictures, memes, songs, personal thoughts/beliefs, meditations, spells, prayers, and anything else I feel may be pertinent or just fun to share!

A little bit about me to get the ball rolling:

~My name is Jamie.

~I'm a Solitary Eclectic Grey Witch, and have been practicing the Craft for going on 21+ years now! [[It's hard to believe haha, even for me!]]

~I'm in my early 30's.

~I primarily work with Hekate and Lilith, with Hekate being my Matron Deity/primary Deity I work with, and Lilith being my secondary Deity I work with.

~I'm Reiki Level I and II Certified!

~I'm a *major* music person. It's a huge part of both myself and my Craft.

~I've got a decent amount of Neurodiversity, including but not limited to: Bipolar Type 1, Depression, Anxiety, AuDHD [[where one presents with both Autistic and ADHD traits]], Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, and FND and FMD [[Functional Neurological Disorder and Functional Muscular Disorder]]. It's a fun combination [[sarcasm]] but it keeps life extra interesting if nothing else! 😂

~I'm a Pisces sun, and Gemini moon/rising.

~I love meeting new people--especially other Witches/Pagans/like-minded people, so feel free to drop me an ask anytime! ^-^

~Fun fact just because I can: I've got a dog and two kittens that I absolutely adore with every fiber of my being!! They're my fur babies and that's currently good enough for me haha!

I look forward to growing this lovely little corner of mine, and hopefully finding some new friends along the way!

Merry we meet and merry we part, until we meet again. ⍟✪

~~Jamie, The Wayward Witch 🌹

Also, some pics I saved from FB quite a while ago just to add some flare to this. All credit goes to their respective sources, even if the sources are unknown. None of these are mine, nor did I create any of these.

Have a magickal day! 💋💋

[croww1tch]

I just got my first oracle deck! I've had lots of tarot decks but I recently found an affordable, nice oracle deck that I felt attracted to. I really like it and it'll probably become one of my common practices.
