I'm going to be starting a grimoire!

Seems like a silly thing to be excited about, but I am. I'm going to put it in a binder, so I can rearrange it as needed. As of right now, everything is in my notes app or here on Tumblr. I need organization, so grimoire!

I will also be starting (provided I have the spoons) a master doc on different world mythologies.

So if anyone has any tips, tricks, or advice on either, I'd love to hear it <3

My first serious attempt at a therian mask ୭🌱♡-⋆｡˚🍄-𓄹-˚

After coming to terms with a lot about myself I've found out and accepted that I'm a therian- and that my type is a fallow deer! This was my first real time trying to make an animal mask since elementary school. Hope you guys enjoy!

Solid Perfumes and Balms Recipe

One of my favourite spell forms is something I can physically wear like a perfume, balm or body butter. Whilst this is not a recipe I favour (I prefer spray on perfumes and liquid oils), its one that has served me well in the past for glamours, anti-anxiety, and a little luck before job interviews.

Apply to your wrists and neck for a perfume, or use to create a creme makeup product such as a blush or bronzer.

Generic Recipe Base:

Always be mindful of irritants like cinnamon when creating balms!

1 tablespoon of oil (jojoaba or any other neutral oil)

1 tablespoon beeswax or emulsifier wax

OR 1 tablespoon of coconut oil or shea butter and 1/2 tablespoon of wax

10-20 drops of essential oils for a perfume (or add until desired scent is achieved), for more subtle scents 3-5 drops

1/2 -1 tablespoon of mica powder or mineral powder to colour

Melt together the wax and oil or simply melt down a dense, solid oil or fat like coconut oil, adding in vitamin E oil and mix well

Stir in essential oil (or oil you have infused with your herbs), add in your mica powder if you wish to colour it

Allow to cool slightly and pour into a slightly heated, wide rimed jar and let sit to solidify completely before sealing it - old lip balm tins, tiny jam jars and balm jars work well to store this

_________

Prosperity and Luck for Job Interviews:

Melt down your liquid oil and wax, and mix well

Stir in 9 drops of prosperity oil (ylang-ylang, lemon, basil and mint) - I like to add things in threes, so three lots of three

Allow to cool and add to a small tin or jar and allow to cool at air temperature

_________

Glamour Creme/Cream Blush

Met together shea butter and wax - more wax will make a thicker, longer lasting blush whilst more aloe will make a smoother, more subtle one

Add in aloe vera and a glamour or love/attraction oil (rose, apple blossom, lavender and jasmine - as this is blush only add 3 drops!) and whisk until smooth, taking it off the heat

Slowly add in mica powders and cocoa powder a tiny pinch at a time until the desired colour is reached

add to a tine or jar and let cool at air temperature

Adapt the recipes as needed for what you have and to your own practice <3

(I will be sharing some of my generic grimoire recipes each Wednesday (hopefully) with the intent on letting people adapt the recipes to suit their needs ... )

Just a quick mock up/lose sketch for a patch idea for my battle jacket I'm hoping to start soon inspired by Fenrir. Just got the basic idea and composition down so I have a reference for the real patch.

Oooh idea

Wow, this has only been a year. I guess I was using those shoes for practically everything so makes sense they're starting to deteriorate.

Anyway

New shoes. New design. This will probably be my go to for all my work and walking shoes from now on

Literally just white shoes and acrylic paint

Intentions used this time

Work shoes: black for energy protection and green for financial assistance and keep my healthy. Pattern used to confuse and defuse targeted unwanted energies

Walking shoes: pink for self love, orange for courage and joy, yellow for happiness and inspiration, black for protection, white for release. Another dragon due to connections. Cherry blossoms for innocence and inner child healing. Cosmos for added joy and appreciating life. Same pattern to confuse and defuse targeted unwanted energy

Am I extra for taping fake flowers and feathers to my pens and paint brushes? Or am I extra for painting a pair of white shoes I have differently? Either way Im extra

*Me mentally imagining someone visiting asking for a pen*

Them: hey can I borrow a pen?

Me: yeah sure. Just go to the teapot and pick a flower

Them: ... What?

Witchy elements:

Pink flowers for self love

Feathers for the element of air to enhance creativity

The roses were a gift from my spouse a long time ago and roses overall are an all encompassing flower hence for various note taking

Yellow air dragon guardian

Blue water dragon guardian
