It is a path that combines ritual worship with a commitment to living harmoniously with the Earth. Wiccans, draw inspiration from ancient shamanic practices and honor the cycles of nature through various rituals and observances¹. The origins of Wicca can be traced back to the…

WELCOME TO PHIO'S EXTREMELY SELF INDULGENT AU HOUR!!!

"Oh, FINALLY, another visitor! It's so quiet in here, it's unnerving..."

—

This AU was meant to be posted on halloween but eh.... Happy Thanksgiving? HAHAHHA

still dont have a name for it, but basically, back in october i was suddenly hit with the need to have a halloween au, so now we have ghost-ified prismo and vampire/witch-ified scarab :D ( although didnt finish the scarab reference spread in time because uh, school and i lost motivation unfortunately )

au synopsis and rambling below the cut!!

the premise of this au is simple : scarab is a real estate agent whos known for his manners ( never barges in, always waits to be invited! though it is a little weird how he keeps asking to be let inside even if they already agreed that he was going to come over... ) and efficiency at his job - that is, convincing people to buy high-end housing for a good price. although his social skills need some... work, his ability to persuade people isnt something to be laughed at.

unfortunately for him, persuading the higher-ups is a completely different story - which he learned the hard way after flunking something big for the company. they dont choose to fire him, no. instead, they put him through a trial, assigning him to sell their most unprofitable property : the mansion in a small town locally known for being haunted by an "evil spirit". if scarab manages to sell it (for good profit) within six months, he is excused and is able to go on with his job. if not... well, best not to think about it, yes? after all, he'll succeed with ease - all he has to do is dispel any worries about some fake "ghost" that only exists as a result of filthy rumors. maybe clean up the place. not too hard, right?

meanwhile, stuck inside said mansion is an extremely bored prismo. hes been hangin around this place for like... how many years now? forty? a hundred? meh, all the same, lately the place has been quieter than usual. i mean- of course people dont just walk into a creepy mansion every day, but there would usually be at least a few bold kids or vloggers coming in now and then for him to entertain but even then they wouldn't stay long ( for obvious reasons ). and now, just some unbound spirits or dumb animals would pass by and thats about it. a guy can only entertain himself for so long, yknow?

that is, until today. when some posh-looking business man entered the premises and started snooping around ( whats the deal with that, by the way?? ). must be prismo's lucky day!! this is the perfect chance to pull out all the stops and play the FUNNIEST prank ever! hah!

... oh. looks like things've gotten a little out of hand.

WOOT WOOT WOOTTTTTTTTTTT!!! im so so happy to finish this because ohhhhh my god this has taken ages for no reason other than the fact that ive been really dragging myself to make presentable art JSNDJSJXNSJX.... i realize that i have never worked in real estate ( or at all ) which means i have probably fucked something up but uhh um ill deal with the backlash later :"D im also realizing how many odd unanswered bits and bobs this au is going to have in the future, which... i am ignoring for the most part for now, but there are SOME things that i DO have figured out like ghost lore... but thats for another time, for now i leave you with this >:)

Okay guys I'm gonna confess something here.

I am very jealous of the witches who practice with pantheons. You'd think that as a greenwitch, faith would be so easy. Because I am working with physical components that have physical effects. Yet it is what I struggle with the most. And I watch these other witches speak with their gods and practice daily and I am so So jealous of that. I wish my faith condensed like that into an entity.

God As I Understand Them

Do Witches believe in God? This is like asking if doctors believe in medicine. While I can only speak for myself, I believe that it is safe to say that all Witches believe in some form of a higher power, although we may conceptualize our higher powers differently. Some wise folk see their higher power as a reflection of themselves, an expression that is always accessible, yet shielded from the…

love the idea of an isekai historical fantasy reverse harem where the guy returns to the present and finds out there are modern counterparts to all the women in his harem BUT it's from the point of view of his girlfriend from before he got zapped to the past

killing killing killing cabinet witch house "we wanted to put a personal spin on it :) walter gilman just isn't an interesting character in the original story :) we enriched it :) we added women :)" girl you fucked it up entirely. walter isn't even autistic. the women you added don't have depth and your original woman is an inexplicable tree. walter's closest friendship was practically abandoned because the guy got a job. what story are you trying to tell

There were a handful of magicians that the Empress kept tabs on; some because they were useful and others because they were dangerous. Constantine fit the bill for both.

When the blonde opened a door, one night, he would find himself stumbling into a chamber in the palace. John was one of the few strong enough to see through what Wanda had done to the world, yet he made no move against her. She hoped it meant that he accepted that her remade Earth was better for everyone.

“Constantine.” Empress Wanda stood before a map, dozens of tiny glowing points all across the world. “I have a request to make of you. I understand you are familiar with exorcism.” || @defyxoblivion​​

“Awh fuckin’ hell...”

Well, so much for that ploy of continuing to pretend that everything was okay. Or maybe merry ol’ Queenie had gotten a paranoid hinting that perhaps he was playing along after all while looking for a hole or three? John certainly wasn’t about to pretend he understood everything that was going on or had happened now.

“… ‘bout as intimately as a hooker—if you’ll pardon the phrasing now.” A tight lipped smile as he stepped on through to survey the scene properly, though he couldn’t help but raise a brow at the map. “If you’re wanting to use me as a battery for a mass exorcism of the world, should warn you it didn’t go over well the first time that happened.”

i really can't emphasize how heartbreaking it is that the recent harassment campaign against @/90-ghost (among others; see: 1, 2, 3) has led to well-meaning people telling others not to listen to him. he is one of the most visible survivors of the genocide here on tumblr. his entire journey of escape is so well documented! and yet, it only took a few people confidently pointing fingers to create an entire witch hunt accusing him and other palestinians of being disreputable scammers and liars.

i can't help but feel like the reason why people were SO eager to believe those accusations, is because it was uncomfortable to see posts from palestinians every day asking for our time, attention, money, and support; so when someone presented the perfect excuse to ignore all those posts and asks while also taking the high ground, people just LEAPED onto it. they wanted to believe it, because it would be more comfortable.

honestly, i understand feeling overwhelmed by bad news, by the number of asks and messages in your inbox, and so on and so forth. i understand needing to set boundaries for yourself so you don't get burned out. i think this is really when you have to have a set of principles to fall back on, even when you're tired, uncomfortable, angry, and/or sad. so here's the one i suggest, which has been working for me best: don't make your discomfort with this situation into someone else's problem, and for god's sake don't make it a public problem.

if you hate seeing fundraiser posts or news about gaza, i can't emphasize this enough, JUST MOVE ON. KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT AND SCROLL PAST! all you have to do is absolutely nothing. which is what you were doing anyway, so it shouldn't be hard. if you don't have the heart to read, or reblog, or share, or donate, or support in other ways, at the very least, don't obstruct the efforts of people who ARE trying to make a difference. this is, quite literally, the least you can do.
