Your book on Witchcraft is bullshit if:
It uses the “Witchcraft” and “Wicca” fuckin interchangeably 
It suggests you’re one dreadlock and eagle feather away from being your very own, white Shaman
It claims “Voodoo” is a super fun, spooky thing that everyone should join in on
Smudging is cool, also, has anyone seen my works cited? Oh that’s right, I didn’t make one.
If you curse, you are mustache twirling devil and the 3 fold law is gonna send your ass to witch hell 
All witches, Wiccan or not should abide by the rede or burn the hell up in the aforementioned fictional witch hell
Ignorantly throws around the word “Chakras” like fuckin mardi gras beads 
You even see the word gypsy once
Spices things up with some sacred, closed and wildly un researched Native American Spiritualism
Miscellaneous new age white person spiritualism
And here’s some Ohms.  ૐ ૐ ૐ 
I’m not sure what what they but have some more Ohms ૐ ૐ ૐ ૐ ૐ 
Wait, white sage is endangered?

Fairy Etiquette and Interactions
I’ve seen some questions on here about how to interact with the fae and why there are certain customs so I made a post. When interacting with the fae you must learn the proper manners and customs just as you do when going about your day to day life or visiting a different country. The Fae have very different morals, customs and social behaviour than us and can get offended very easily.
Tumblr media
1. Do not say THANK YOU! This admits that you are in debt to them and they will expect that you pay them back. Debts and contracts can get messy with the Fae, even dangerous.
2. Do not give them your real name! Especially your full name because this gives them power over you. Instead use your witch name or fake name… say “you may call me *blank*” because you technically aren’t lying to them.
3. Do not accept food or drink from them! As the myth of Persephone and Hades states, eating the food of the faerie realm will forever tie you to that world.
4. Do not mention a new born! Faeries are very fond of children and you may end up with a changeling. Faeries may also mess around with your kid sometimes and curse them if you make them mad.
5. DO NOT LIE!As it is believed faeries cannot lie, they do not like being lied to but if you have to, twist your words to get them to believe you but Do not lie! I wouldn’t risk twisting your words too much because they are masters at this and can see right through, I would only attempt if you are very well spoken.
6. Always keep your promise! Promises are very sacred to the fae and hold a lot of power so if you break a promise, expect there to be some angry faerie cursing you.
7. Do not accept a gift! This also admits debt to them and they will expect something in return of equal or greater value.
8. There’s always strings attached!Don’t expect to make contracts with the fae and not have to worry about loopholes because they love twisting their words so you end up with the short end of the stick
9. Don’t be a loud mouth! If a fairy bestows a blessing upon you, you shouldn’t go around telling people about it because it may just turn sour.
10. Don’t be a snoop! Respect a faerie’s privacy because they value their privacy a lot and they don’t trust humans often so if you lose their trust…oh boy you’re in for something alright.
11. Don’t dance! Dancing with the fae, to faerie music or in the fae realm often ends in stories of dancing to your death.
12. Absolutely no Iron! Cold iron weakens and repels the fae, to carry iron while interacting with the fae will offend the crap out of them.
13. Debts will always be repayed! If you do something of service to the fae there will often be a reward but remember rules 1 and 9.
14. Do not say SORRY! Again this admits being in deep debt to them.
15. Always be the utmost polite to them! The fae may not always be the nicest but they are always well spoken, well mannered but also see themselves as higher than you, so treat them with the most respect and get on their good side.
Stay safe my dears

Personalized Tea Lights
I made these super easy Tea Light Candles today and added herbs, dried flowers and essential oils to use in future rituals. (Or basically whenever i want to)
Step One: Add your Tea Lights to a pot and put it on the stove by low to medium heat.
Tumblr media
Step Two: After the wax melted down, add your chosen herbs, flowers or oils. You can literally do anything here, get creative!
Tumblr media
Some of my creations contained dried lavender buds and lavender essential oil (for inner peace, balance and good sleep), dried sunflower (to brighten up your mood or day, to bring happiness), sage (to purify and cleanse) and a mixture of black pepper, sea salt and cayenne pepper (to banish and absorb negative energies)
Step Three: After you added your ingredients, take the pot off the stove and let the Tea Lights harden again.
And that’s it! It’s super easy and the outcome is just as effectful as gorgeous.

Magickal Folk Names for Herbs
Tumblr media
Having knowledge of herbs and plants (either magically or medicinally) during the Middle Ages, often was reason enough to accuse a woman of being a “witch,” so there is no doubt some of the country folk at the time took these herbal folk names literal.  Chances are, these names were used merely as descriptors to help remember them easier.  Most plants were given names descriptive of their uses and others were given names for something they generally resembled. Spells written by witches in ancient times were often written with such descriptors, which personally i believe to be a form of secret coding.
Here is a small list of “witchy” herb names (most of these are already floating around the community) that you can use in your craft when you create your spells.  This list could be a great addition to any Grimoire and i hope you find them as useful as i do.
Enjoy ~~~  Cannawitch
