Graveyard Etiquette🪦

Before you go protect yourself you don't want a spirit attached to you.

Bring coins as offerings to the gatekeepers.

Bring with you offering for the spirits (food, water, flowers ect...) and leave it by a tree or away from the headstones for the spirits.

Make sure you don't step on anyone and apologiz if you do by accident.

Clean up neglected tombstones.

Ask before you take dirt. Use your intuition or divination to get a response.

Don’t take anything that is left for the dead.

Don't leave trash behind and if you find trash clean it.

Leave the way you came.

I've been working on this on and off for like a long time and honestly I kinda hate it now, but this is like a revamp of these but with the Beasts too lmao

This also has a headcanon I have of if the Legends had virtues like the Ancients and Beasts

Also yes I'm aware Fire and Moon might fit more if they switched but I have lore reasons leave me alone

Recommended tips for research as a beginner witch/practioner:

Research as a beginner can at times feel stressful if you don't know credibilties or anything about the craft really. So, I'm going to share some tips I use in my practice and would recommend when researching witchcraft.

Research what interests you. If research begins to feel like a task instead of genuine interest or fun, there will be problems down the line with researching thoroughly. That isn't to say don't research things that bore you, it means that you should take what resonates with you and from there you can begin to build the framework for your personal craft.

Does the source align with your moral standing and personal beliefs? If the answer is no, time to find a new source. For example, if a source is fully against any harm towards another person and tries to push that narrative on the reader/viewer (or vice versa) and it's not something you personally align with, find another source. The most important example of this is many authors are bigots, terfs or cultural appropriaters. Remember to research the author and their practice before trusting what they have to say.

What may work for some people will not work for you. Do not feel inclined to do everything a certain way as said by a certain practioner. The point of witchcraft is to develop your own habits and outlooks. Crystals and astrology may work best for someone, but you may have an inclination towards herbs and palmistry for example. You do not need to practice every form of witchcraft out there. So circling back to the first point, pay mind to what sparks joy and what aligns with your abilities.

Take everything with a grain of salt. Learn to question what you learn. As witchcraft and spirituality have been practiced in many cultures for many years, things have evolved and been taken from one context to the next. Research various practices and rituals as well as the authors and cultures who promoted said practices

Use multiple sources. Blindly believing one post can be harmful, especially when concerning topics that can be a manner of physical safety (fire hazards, dressing candles, consumption and burning of herbs) or spiritual safety (spirit work, baneful work, trickster spirits). The more research the better, as it solidifies understanding too.

Do not rely solely on social media, but use it as a crutch to what you already know. Many content creators care more about views or aesthetics than educating. But many creators also DO care about what they're putting out there and have genuinely good tips and tricks for various practices. Just be wary.

Don't worry about aesthetics or perfection when you're just learning. Don't let pinterest photos of altars downplay your own craft and beauty. Right now, you're learning new topics and there's plenty of time later to find pretty altar tools or to neatly scribe in a leather journal. Don't let it distract you from research, and ultimately, the goal is to grow.

Have fun with it! There are so many research topics, and it can be as expansive or specific as you make it. Remember this isn't supposed to be stressful, it's supposed to be rewarding.

(Please add your own tips too if you'd like!)

PICK A CARD: What your future self wants to tell you

Hello and welcome to this new post of mine! In here I will give you a reading on what your future self wants to tell you. I hope you guys enjoy and find this useful!

Masterpost > Paid Readings > Subliminal Channel > Giveaway [NEW]

~pick a card~

Pile 1:

Your future self wants you to know that they are proud of you. They see that you are trying and that you are doing your best. They know how hard things sometimes are, but they know that you will pull through it; and that peaceful and comfortable mental space you have been wanting is right around the corner. They want to tell you to not give up, because it will be as if you quit the marathon seconds before finishing it.

That hard-earned future is ahead of you, and just like how your future self knows it, you know it deep-down as well. Keep your head up.

Pile 2:

Be strong, be vocal, voice your opinions of no one else around you is voicing theirs. You have gotten a mouth to speak about your feeling of unjust, about your morals and values. There are things going on around you and in the world of which you do not agree; and your future self wants you to speak up about it. Don’t let anyone talk over you, or belittle you in any sort of way.

Speak up about your thoughts, rid yourself from the people around you that are toxic or there for the wrong reasons. Only when speaking harsh truths will you be able to recognize the discomfort in people’s eyes, and the true beliefs and intentions of people.

Pile 3:

Your future self wants you to know how many more exciting things are ahead of you; how many beautiful memories, how many fascinating adventures and funny moments you will see. They want you to know that you should keep going because there is beauty in what is to come, there is peace and happiness, fascination and interest.

You have so much more to do, so much more growth in you, so much more potential that can come out if you simply give it time. Your life isn’t done yet, it won’t stay like this nor end anytime soon. You are just at the beginning of all what is ahead of you, all that is about to come to you.

Late Kyoshi week day 6

I wasn’t gonna participate at all since I found out about the event literally a few days before so I couldn’t plan anything, but here’s a little something for the animal companion prompt.

I’ve always felt that the spirit fox was fitting as her animal companion.

Today’s my birthday so I figure it’s a good day to share the cover for SPIRIT OF THE SHADOWS issue 1!

Still ways off from you reading the series, but it’d be fun if you join my Patreon page to see more as I work on it all!

Title: Queen of Shadows

Danny and Bruce have been dating for years before Bruce joined the JL. After the Dracula incident, Danny gave Bruce a few guardian spirits. They only come out when dealing with magical problems, so most others don't know about them.

Unknown to either of them, the whole JL think Batman is an amalgamation of shadows. Thanks to the shadows disliking how they treat the Queen.
