i found a hatchet half-buried in the muddy wetlands. i rinsed him off in some stormwater and carried him the rest of the way home. i realize now that i should have just let him be, but that didn't occur to me until it was too late. now, i suppose, we wait

addited: finnie agrees that nothing good can come of this

FishCraft Series | Water

The most basic of basics when it comes to fish, and aquariums, is the water.

Saltwater

Saltwater is the more difficult of the choices to work with. The chemistry involved is a little more serious to maintain as the ammonia, nitrites and nitrates are more problematic to control than they are in freshwater. The specific gravity (salinity) is also something that must be constantly monitored. I do not reccomend this choice to the beginner aquarist.

This option does come with some magical benefits however. Saltwater magnifies magical intentions, and is great for cleansing, purification, and protection due to the salt content. In my opinion, for the purposes of FishCraft, having a saltwater tank will keep your spell charged longer than just freshwater, and intensify your personal magic and intentions.

Saltwater is also the cradle all life is born from. As such, I find that using it in witchcraft, not just FishCraft, is very beneficial for spells relating to health, long life, and general well being.

Freshwater

Going for simple, clean, dechlorinated freshwater is not only just as beneficial, but also much easier for the beginning aquarist.

In FishCraft there are a few ways you can interpret the magical properties of freshwater. They all have one thing in common, the flow of the water.

If the water is stagnant, like a lake or pond, its great for self reflection, peace, relaxation, and contentment. I personally find still waters excellent for curse or hex reflection.

If the water is slow moving like a creek or stream, its energies are best used for purification and cleansing.

If you have a serious, heavy duty current pump in your tank the water will be like that of a river. River water is best used for change, moving forward, overcoming challenges, and protection.

Brackish Water

Brackish water occurs where freshwater rivers or streams run into the ocean or sea. The salinity content is much lower in brackish tanks than a saltwater setup, and is a little easier to maintain.

Because a brackish tank is both fresh and saltwater its almost the "white candle" of FishCraft. It takes on magical properties of both environments, as well as adding its own flavor to the mix.

Brackish water is mysterious, where it occurs in nature tends to be murky, muddy, and obscured with low visability. This aspect makes it perfect, in my opinion, for use in a curse - to muddy ones eyesight or perception for example.

Its also good for adding mystery, to yourself, your situation, your love life...wherever you feel some mysterious energy is needed most. Brackish water also has a balancing energy, as many plants that grow in a brackish environment are baneful, while many others are not.

To put the properties of each water type in simpler terms, this post will conclude with them in list format.

I know better and you know, but all I see still is your mouth, packed with hooks to cut and rip me up just one more time

I know better and you know, but all I see still is your mouth, your mouth, your mouth

i'm on my 7th listen and i still don't understand why brackish water is associated with the Dark.
