Number one rule, if you see something, say something. To their face I mean. If you see fascists congregating on this site or any other, say something to them. I do it all the time. :3 more often than not they kind of just tuck their tails and run away. Or they try to pick a fight and then get smacked with a block button that sends them into a crash out. Eventually they'll crash out enough if enough people do it and then they won't want to be around us anymore. This is how you fight fascism in online spaces :3

I have two molars that are failing me despite copious amounts of dental treatment to try and save them.

I'm on a wait list for an emergency last ditch root canal for a tooth that is rotting from the inside out and quite literally falling apart. The other is scheduled for an extraction in the new year. I'm doubtful that either tooth will hold together as long as I need them to, but when the dental surgeon is booked up until February, there's not much more I can do but wait, take my meds, and do a little magic🦷

Carved beeswax molar: tangible poppet, antibacterial.

Himalayan salt: preservation, calm.

Juniper berries: protection, luck to get called in before the end of the year to get the issues dealt with/the teeth to hold out to the new year.

Echinacea petals: healing, immune booster to protect against infection.

Rosemary: protection, pain relief.

How to make a homunculus no glue no borax

Materials:

• human semen (fresh)

• horse dung (fresh). If not available, place cucurbit instead in a secure temperature controlled environment of about body temperature.

• arcanum of human blood (or mercury)

• cucurbit (a jar similar to an alembic. See below). If you do not have a cucurbit, instead use a large jar, about a foot tall.

• you may need a syringe

Optional:

• gloves (leather recommended)

• syringe

• uterus of a horse

Instructions:

1.) Insert the horse uterus into your cucurbit or jar so that the opening is at the top. If not using a horse uterus, ignore this step.

2.) Embed the lower 2/3 of cucurbit or jar in horse dung. This should remain at a stable temperature in a stable environment for 40 days. Horse dung will heat naturally. Process should not be disturbed.

3.) If needed, use a syringe to insert the human semen into the horse uterus in the cucurbit or jar. If not using a horse uterus, instead insert the semen directly into the container.

4.) Cover the cucurbit or jar with its lid and embed it into the dung until the bottom of the lid touches.

5.) After 40 days, your homunculus — though not yet visible — will begin to quiver. At this point, insert mercury or another arcanum of human blood to feed your homunculus as needed. Incubate for 40 weeks or until fully grown.

Pro tip: If you wish to keep your homunculus caged and captive, be aware that upset homunculi are prone to attempts at escape and can be hostile. Be sure to keep your homunculus tightly secured, if at all. Many opt for a glass jar. I would not, however, recommend such a tactic, as there have been numerous cases of homunculi escaping from simple jars (note the case of Count Johann Ferdinand von Kufstein and l’Abbé Geloni).

Rather than keep your homunculus captive, it is encouraged that it be raised as a human infant for maximum efficiency.

Example of the types of alchemical containers and apparatuses, including the cucurbit (called a cucurbite in the first image and tazza in the second image):

Popular uses for homunculi and closely related creatures:

1.) Many people use their homunculi as part of a machine with which to transform urine to a more pure substance, such as mercury or antimony.

2.) Others, such as Faust, have used their homunculi as more intimate helpers in magical practice.

3.) Some people eat mandragoras (also know as mandrakes, duda’im, or alraunen) for their hallucinogenic, aphrodisiac, and narcotic properties. DO NOT eat your homunculi. This will NOT provide the same effect.

4.) Mandragoras can be made into amulets of love, good fortune, fertility, etc. (for best results, consult a Romani person).

5.) Mandragoras are used in most magical flying ointments and in other potions.

6.) Mandragoras can also be used as incense (hallucinogenic).

Feel free to ask for sources etc. Stay tuned for more alchemical DIY guides!

I feel like I'm the minority here, but I don't think trimming branches off trees and bushes or cutting the grass is actually spiritually significant to them.

Lots of folk like to ask permission of a tree's spirit before taking a limb. Which is good, being polite is always a plus. But I genuinely don't think they care. I feel like they have a relationship to branches and leaves like we do to hair or nails - a part of you that grows but doesn't actually hurt to remove.

I think it comes down to scale as well. Taking a 3in thick limb from an ancient Oak tree is going to be irksome but not detrimental, because it has 15 more. Taking a single leaf from a sapling could kill it.

Idk where I was headed with these thoughts. Concluding sentence.
