Salt Bowl For Broken Crystals
I've never seen anyone do anything like this for broken crystals, so I thought I'd share a practice I've picked up since I've started my own journey in my craft. This is my personal take on salt charging dishes in which I use salt, herbs, and incense ash to heal my broken crystals.
I have an unnatural obsession with fluorite, and I also happen to be someone with chronic butter fingers when it comes to crystals. I decided to gather all my broken pieces of fluorite and preform my own practice to seal them and basically make them new again by restoring their lost energy by allowing them to absorb more energy.
For this practice, I simply picked a dish I felt drawn to that would fit all my broken pieces, then I added my salt to the dish. I used the tip of my finger to draw a spiral in the salt pile with the intention in my mind of drawing energy towards the dish by drawing the spiral. I then added my choices of a couple healing herbs and incense ash before adding my broken shards. For this practice, I only used the shards of the crystals that I wanted to be the "new" sealed crystal; most of the shards that were left when they originally broke were too small and plentiful to keep track of, so I didn't (my bad). After adding all my desired crystals, I circled the dish with my lit incense with the intention of drawing energy near. I meditated for a couple minutes and set my intentions clear and firmly of what I wanted to become of the crystals after the practice, then I stored the dish in a safe, open area for them to remain charging until I feel that they're new again.

Old pictures of my messy desk and some tlt book I found in the wild.
15|04|2023
Today was mostly made of me plaguing my dad (again) with my protohistory reviewing. This is the final big one and I am more or less half way into it. Tomorrow I will take the day off to recharge a bit and then I'll finish it between Monday and Tuesday morning. I am so tired I don't even feel nervous about this exam. Most of my to do list for the day was ignored but it's okay because I did my most important task. The good thing about today is that I found some new audiobooks which I'll start very soon.
Productivity:
started a new big out lout review of the protohistory notes I have to study in relation to all the pictures of archaeological finds. I am all done with the Chalcolitic era, and halfway into the Bronze age
Self care:
read first thing in the morning
📖: The Priory Of The Orange Tree by Samantha Shannon
#this post will be most surely edited in a couple of hours to add some stuff like my duolingo practice#but now i am tired and that means a cup of herbal tea and a audiobook#studyblr#studyinspo#uniblr#university#student life#studying#currently studying#currently reading#books#desk#study space#knife gang#journal#journaling#notebook#notes#mine#the---hermit

#god i wish i believed in magic lol#it would be so fun to do little witch shit and believe herbs can fix my little problems i would love that#bc honestly the closest i get is believing that the placebo effect leads to people who do this stuff maybe experiencing like…#psychological peace because they feel protected by their rituals#love that#love things to bring people inner peace#im super curious about that kind of stuff like wicca and tarot and the like at least as like a fun thing but i just don’t believe in it#i really would love to study dietetics and i keep trying to but the schools in my area make it annoyingly difficult to have a clean route#Like going point A to point B is extremely difficult#but i feel like studying the effects of food on the human body is like the closest i could come to a belief in#some kind of herbal divinity and i understand that is probably just barely a component of any of this stuff but it���s what i#Was looking at on ig just now so it’s fresh on my mind lmao#sorry to any believers if anything i said came off as insensitive#if nothing else it looks fun from my little cynical armchair#idk i feel like this is the only place i can talk abt this stuff freely tbh lol#tumblr has always felt like a little cave to me i just come here to spew thoughts into a void and ig watch kpop boys be sexy#rip

Hello! Looking for some baneful practitioners to answer this question.
What ingredients would you use in a baneful working meant to end a friendship between two people (Both have abused those around them and have now formed a friendship where they feed off each others cruelty) or what are your favorite baneful ingredients to work with in general? I’ve already got a working planned I just want to see if there’s anything else I should add to it to really make sure it works.
(not looking for judgement or lectures and I am 6 years into my practice so I’m not a beginner I just like hearing other witches experiences and learning about different practices)

am i thankful for racially competent and culturally aware schooling, of course! but do i wish it was less..........normie
like i wish there was more i guess, talking about disabled and chronically ill birthing people, actual inclusive language surrounding birth and postpartum, talks about gay and trans births. I just feel drained everyday that i have to read about "the mother and father" when Im nb with a wife
its also like i have been a CH (certified herbalist) for 2 years and traditional herbalist for 12 so the herbal remedies portion of our textbook worries me!!!!! Its not that any of the information is going to kill or harm a pregnant person its that its not accurate enough!!! All of dosing I do is custom to 1 person, their weight, metabolism, their cultural beliefs/practice and unique to their needs! I dont even feel comfortable sharing herbal information on my personal bc i know how so many people run with the first thing they hear and never look into it again. Like i ALMOST have given a lot of people advice esp on how not to get pregnant and induce youre period to be unpregnant bc i know people NEED that information and I feel seeing people needing abortions but i feel so wrong publishing it. While i know how to go about making herbal medicine, taking it at high doses for a length of time, but not everyone has my training and experiences. So I find it off putting that my teachers would include any herbalist anything without instructions for prepping the herbs, dosages, risks/warnings and just basic herbal education esp when we are talking about keeping a pregnancy. Maybe im just younger, more "new school" but i fully believe we can have traditional healing modalities with science and inclusiveness
#me#personal#vent#its like the information is good but im like where are the disabled ppl and the gay n trans peoples!?!?#and why are you telling other ppl to use these herbs without any real herbal training to back it up#that gives me anxiety#like if we had a week and not 2 days in the course to study fertility birth and postpartum herbalism then id be less concerned#but i already know this my classmates dont and i dont think even half of them saw my book rec so they can get some better solid info

Water Practice
One essential element included in any ritual/practice or altar set up is water. A lot of people feel it to be necessary to use naturally sourced water when including it in their craft, however the source of the water used doesn't matter as much as it's perceived to. Although it's better to use naturally sourced water, it isn't required for a ritual or practice to be affective. Depicted here is a way to prepare non-naturally sourced water to be used in one's craft.
Required Supplies:
water
storage vessel, ideally something not made of plastic
something to cleanse with (smoke or sound preferred)
Optional:
clear quartz shards
river quartz shards
clear quartz freeform
anything you feel called to incorporate into your vessel
Practice:
Before collecting water, cleanse the vessel you will be using with your preferred method as you visualize bad energy being removed from the vessel (I typically visualize darkness being chased away by the light of the method of cleansing I use). Using the same method of cleansing, rid your crystals of negative energy if you wish to include them before adding water to the vessel. After cleansing and adding your desired components to the vessel, collect your water and incorporate it into your vessel.
Uses:
Water can be used in many different ways, but it is typically used to cleanse objects to be used in rituals/practices, channel and conjure energy, and represent the element in altars and sacred spaces. However, the use of water in a given craft is entirely up to the craft of the person who wishes to use it; there is no rule or guideline to be followed in relation to how water can and should be used, because it's decided by the user.

Brewing a giant mason jar full of my personal Study-And-Chores Bitter Tea Blend tonight, figured I'd share the recipe.
34 oz (4 1/4 cups) of boiling water
2 teabags Bigelow Lemon Ginger
2 teabags Celestial Seasonings Raspberry Zinger
A few shakes of whole cloves
1 stick of cinnamon
1 star anise.... star. one star of star anise. whatever
Juice of 1 lemon
(Optional) honey and/or brown sugar to taste.
Let steep/cool completely, store in fridge WITHOUT STRAINING until ready for use. Pour through small strainer/sieve to serve (or just pick the spices/fruit out with your fingers, I've done that too lol). Drink within a day.
Makes one big mason jar (one pitcher) full.

idk if my new herbal antidepressants are working. i sure feel more able to cope with the world and i did dance to ethel cain for like 3 hours with my sister and currently feel no desire to sleep. that mightve happened anyway because it was kind of overdue but maybe its them working. but on the negative side if they start to work too well and kick me into craziness i ideally would like that not to happen because it might mess up my exams. so maybe i should go off them for rn. and if i get depressed again i can go on them again. Also i can’t do this closer to exams cause then withdrawal might fuck up my exams too. Thoughts?
#‘why did you go on herbal antidepressants right before your exams what if they fuck up your exams’#well. i was fucking up my exams by being too depressed to do anything slash study. Not that i’m studying now😭but wtv#anyway this is such a dilemma#can’t decide whether to take one rn#I think i will……….#if they make me crazy mayhe i can ride the wave and use it to study and fix my life and then go off them before i run away to canada#And#hopefully they will just make me normal.#oliver talks#personal
