PCWT: Communication, Confirmation, and Conversation

A question I hear come up a lot in PCM/PC Paganism circles is “how do I know I’m actually reaching out to (x)?” Given how well, sadly scarce info on PC Paganism or Pop Culture Magic in general is, I’d say that’s an absolutely valid question to have. So here’s just some of my tips over the years that have helped me out.

1). Source Research

As always, we fall back to the lovely home base of research. In this case, we’ll not only research the character, but the background of their source. Is the character familiar with magic and the occult to some degree? Would they at least be aware of things like tarot cards, pendulums, and the like? Is the supernatural even a “thing” in their source or are they somewhat skeptic to it?

Chances are, if the character(s) are at least somewhat familiar or aware of magic as a whole or the supernatural in general, they may be more apt to pick up on traditional divination methods like Tarot, Oracle cards, pendulums, scrying, etc.

2). Signifiers

What are some things that your character is associated with? Have you been seeing those fairly often in your day to day as of late?

This one in particular may get a little tricky, especially in the algorhythmic space of sites like Pinterest, Tiktok, and even Tumblr when it comes to “Randomly” stumbling across say, imagery of them or even curated blogs or pages for them. This may make discernment difficult to discern what is a “calling card” from them or not, but in general, look for things that you wouldn’t expect to come curated to you.

For example, say your character is associated with a certain number or even certain imagery or themes and you go out for a little bit and come across their number or imagery several times in places you wouldn’t have expected it.

3). Clair-’s

I put this method a little lower on the list because with some folks, clair-senses may not come naturally to them or maybe they have other things going on that may interfere with honing in or developing any sort of clair-senses. Hell, some practitioners may not really think clair’s are a thing at all and fair to them, to each their own and what not.

But if you do have some variation of them, try honing in on things relevant to someone your working with, whether that’s scents, sounds, sequences, anything in between, really.

I may come back to this post to refine it later, maybe do a 2.0 version, because at least in my view, there’s no “one-size-fits-all” for communication with any sort of pop culture deity/spirit/egregore/entity/etc. Each one has their own likes, dislikes, quirks, etc. and I feel like it’s honestly up to the practitioner to learn what those are and how best to work with them and what they prefer.

And please feel free to either comment or reblog with methods or tips that work for yourself that others may find handy too!

But as always,

Stay safe, have fun, stay spooky 💜🦇

One more word, light!

Sometimes, I see a word and I know I'm screwed. This was definitely one of them.

Sometimes! The words are just something I decided to drag into a theme! Okay!

Wait! This is including words like "flight!" Maybe I'm saved! (No)

SIGH.

On the plus side, in addition to my five paragraphs I found a "dimly light" that has somehow persisted from draft two in here to fix.

The bottom of the chasm was lit with strange wickless candles in carved stone sconces on the walls that gave off a flickering, greenish light.

Several of my options also had "music" in them, which leads me to wonder how obvious good hits are from the other sentences I've shared.

no wick = not a candle. however wax melts exist (i count wickless candles in this same category as you must put them on or in a heat source to use them) and are used the same way scented candles are for their perfume and not to actually light a space up. so you're in another territory and no longer fcking a candle

no, no, no, we can't just be fucking wax dildos here. i'm changing my proposal to a steel rod wrapped with a wick, so well it probably wouldn't be a functional candle, it'd still be a candle. we can't lose sight of the goal, even on technicalities.

She tried to mold herself into the shape that people decide for her, until her wick is completely depleted and she's left as a wickless candle in the drawer, futile.

Frosted Juniper Wickless Candle 3oz

I use only premium, highly scented fragrance oil with soy wax. You receive a 3 oz Frosted Juniper Wickless Candle. It’s easy to use: Just remove the wooden lid and place the glass jar on the warming plate of a 2-n-1 electric wax melter/warmer to give off a lovely, luxurious scent that will fill your room for 20 minutes. Our 3oz wickless candles last an average of 50-60 hours. Keep using it until…

Our shop is back open now (after almost a year of being on hiatus)! There's a whole explanation over there about what's been going on with us (spoiler alert: it's nothing good :P) but we figured with a shop that's staying in one heckin' place, we'd reintroduce you to all of the scents in our lineup! :D

This is Wanna Hear a Joke? and besides being the first non-vg inspired candle, it’s also the first candle inspired by a pairing! It’s one of our favorite pairings -- Jacen Solo & Tenel Ka Djo from the Star Wars: Expanded Universe (the old books and such -- now called Legends) -- and was originally just us messing around with scents and stuff. But we liked it so much we wanted to include it in this first batch!

 This candle is an 8oz. glass jelly jar with a pewter daisy cut lid and has a cotton/paper wick. All of our candles are made with 100% natural soy wax, are handmade and are poured in very small batches. You can find Wanna Hear a Joke? and others over at Waxing Sky Studios!

You can also get wax melts of all of our scents as well (aroma beads and wickless candles are also on the horizon!) in case you are in a place where you can't burn candles but still want a scent!

If you want to make candles like that, make them wickless. The ones that you heat from the bottom. Safer!

Rant on fire safety

While absolutely gorgeous, I HATE this trend of "aesthetic candles". This is from a local witch shop, that sells these candles. Look at it! It's an absolute fire hazard. A plastic flower molten into the wax. You should not have plastic anywhere near a candle flame. Look at the glitter. Guess what? ALSO PLASTIC.

At best it's gonna smell horrendous, because molten plastic stinks. But burn enough of these candles and you're likely to give yourself cancer. Yes, you read that right. Do no inhale fumes of molten plastic!

Stop making candles with materials that shouldn't be burnt! ffs

Hello Everyone and Welcome back to my blog! If you're new here, I'm Danielle and this is my blog where I'll be sharing tips and tricks all about candle making. I also share my journey with my candle company. And maybe help you with yours. The first thing you need to know is the type of candle you would like to make. In this blog, I'll be talking about 5 different types of candles.

5 Types Of Candles

Pillar

The first candle I'll be talking about is the pillar candle. A pillar candle is made from rigid wax like paraffin wax so it doesn't need a container to stand up straight. These candles are stand-alone and collapse into themselves. They can be thin or thick, short or tall. With the paraffin wax, they are very easy to dye as well.

Votive

The second candle is the votive candle. They are pretty similar to the pillar candles but they are different in size and the type of wax that is used. The votive candle is small and typically made from beeswax allowing the candle to be able to stand up on its own but you can also place it in a container.

Container

Now to my favorite candle, the container candle. For this candle, you will need a non-flammable container to hold the hot melted wax. You really can use any container you would like. You'll just have to find the fill line to determine how much wax you'll need but that is a different article.

Tealight

The last candle will be the tealight candle. This candle is very popular for weddings and special events. The tealight candles are made in a thin metal or plastic cup so the wax will completely melt. They are very small circular and not very tall.

All these candles I've named need a wick. There are different wicks for each candle. You'll need to do more research after you know which candle you will want to make.

Melts

There is one more "candle" I wanted to talk about but it is not a candle with a wick. That would be wax melts. Wax melts or tarts are wickless scented pieces of wax that require a warmer to melt the wax to smell the aroma. These have become very popular over the last for years.

How Do You Choose

I decided to make some of those candles just to see which one I would like the most. When I started, I made container candles, along with votives, tealights, and wax melts.

I would say make all of the candles and see which one you like. You don't know until you try. I recommend starting with candle kits. They are affordable and that is how I got all my supplies for my company. I purchased my first kit from Michael's and my second kit from Hobby Lobby. There were so many different options in the store. I soon found some other kits on Amazon which came pretty quickly. I suggested going to your local craft store first before online thought to avoid any shipping fees.

Well, I hope this helped you out a little in making your decision on what type of candle you want to make. Leave a comment about which type of candle you decided to make. Check out the website for healing aromas.
