Sometimes, hanging out with your snails is the best medicine.
Growing things.

witches get bitches
Thank you!
Hi! I’m kinda curious about Wicca. I’ve got some candles, a few crystals, I like norse and Greek mythology, but I’m just kinda unsure where to start. Are the spells just mindfulness, meditation things, or is there are there specific rituals? Also as I’m in my final year of secondary school I don’t have a lot of time for big long rituals, so do you have any ideas for short easy ones? Thanks 💜
ohhhhhhh yeah I feel you. i’m not wiccan, sorry, but I can give you a few pointers in student witchin’!! I’m in grade 10 at the moment. tea spells and rituals are definitely going to be your best friend, tbh. you can google herb correspondence, if you want to make your own, but if you wanna just grab a normal tea bag and go:
black tea is a good quick prosperity or money spell, so while you stir it stir clockwise while focusing on gaining opportunities to y'know, prosper, and stir anticlockwise focusing on lack of money, hopelessness, whatever. chug it and hope good to go. it also awakens a conscious mind so it’s good to drink before school!
you can do similar with green tea and energy or health, white tea and beauty or psychic abilities, oolong and love, peppermint and dreams, etc. Etc. Possibilities are endless!
you can add sugar to attract what you desire, honey to protect from curses/psychic attack/ the evil eye and boost happiness, or milk to cleanse. of course, there’s a lot more to it than this, this is just usually what I do when I’m short on time.
A baby witch’s first full moon experience 🌕
Hey this full moon was the first time I did anything particularly moon-related, and I think things worked pretty well!
I decided to start my Book of Shadows last night (and by start I mean I drew Algiz, the rune of protection and a short paragraph about me) and lit some candles (2 big white ones, one little white one in a cat candle holder for Freyja, and a cinnamon spiced one for Loki). Freyja’s candle had some trouble, so I asked that she bless this candle and bless this match, and asked her to help this candle shine beautifully in her honour, and then it did. I did a similar prayer for Loki bc I don’t think he’d like to be left out, and when I checked later, the wax from his candle spilled over, so maybe don’t give a fire god more encouragement 😂 I put the solidified bits of wax on his alter as an offering or something.
I can feel a sort of presence in my hands sometimes, energy I think. Before I had to dance or meditate to really get the feeling going, but this time I just closed my eyes, took a deep breath and it was there.
So yeah, I think things did feel a bit more powerful last night. Not sure if I’ll be able to do something like this every full moon (busy student and all), but if my schedule leaves some free time around the full moon, I’ll do this again
Sum thoughts
Tbh, I’m a very skeptical witch. I mean I don’t really believe in magic, at least not in that kind of magic we learn about in books as kids. I think I actually believe in energy, intention. That shit is strong. I believe our brains are a far more complex tool that we have not even started to understand yet. I think placebo effect is what really works in spells, at least those focused on aspects about ourselves. And intention is what works when we make spells for others. You know when someone’s lookin at you and no matter what, you suddenly look in that person’s direction? I think that’s the power of intention. We’re all connected. Our souls fly out our bodies every night and meet each other, even though we may not remember it. All animals follows cycles, and I believe us as humans have the power to understand them, we work as receptive antennas of this planet vibrations.
Other people offering food to their deities: Dear ____, God/dess of ____, I offer to you this home-cooked meal which I lovingly prepared for you, full of things people have been offering to you for generations like lots of vegetables, so I’m sure that you will like this. Enjoy this meal which I sacrifice to you *leaves the meal to go cold and then gives it to the earth*
Me offering food to my deities: *eating the greasiest taco in existence at 3 am* mmm this is 1 Good Taco, hey Lokes, Freyjacakes, want a bit? *inhales 5 tacos*
All those types of witch (sea, celestial, garden, etc.) but I have rarely seen aesthetic posts that acknowledge Regular Witch Aesthetic.
You have ten half-burned votives. You don’t need more. Why are you buying more. Stop it.
Crystals? Points? Clusters? What the fuck are those? You just found a really cool rock on the ground and took it home.
You don’t have a garden. Everything is bought in the “spices” section of the grocery store. Maybe you once had a cactus that didn’t die for a month. Maybe.
You have written about fifty spells in your grimoire. You have done three of them.
You have never owned a cauldron. You do, however, have a small ceramic bowl you made in art class in like fifth grade. It’s shitty. You love it.
So much incense.
Sigils are fun to design until they’re not.
You have a patron deity. You pray to them when you remember that you should.
You’ve saved about ten different recipes for offering stones. You’ve never done any of them.
Sometimes other witches talk about wands and chalices and athames. You have a plastic cup and a pair of scissors. Wands are unnecessary.
Do you drink tea? No, but you have seventeen tea-spells in your grimoire. Why the fuck do you have them.
Can’t smoke-cleanse. Terrified of fire alarm.
You went walking barefoot in the woods exactly once. A bug bit you between your toes. You don’t walk barefoot anymore.
Lakes and rivers and oceans are unsanitary. Pools are clean and have noodles. The choice is clear.
What stage is the moon in?????
Tarot are a mystery that you will never solve.
You enjoy doing magic anyway, because magic is more than being a certain type.

I have launched a new blog!
And Now...for Something different
Hey there, magical misfits and word weavers!
Guess who's conjuring up something wickedly wonderful? That's right—this witch is stirring her cauldron and launching a brand-new blog! 🧹✨
If you've ever pondered the mysteries of the universe between sips of chamomile tea, or found yourself debating the merits of ancient rituals versus modern practices (while your candles burn down to stubs), then boy, do I have a treat for you! After the cut lovelies!
Over the years, I've danced with Hekate under the moonlight, delved into the Greek Magical Papyri, and even sprinkled in a dash of my mother's Indian folk wisdom for good measure. I've wrestled with the commodification of the Craft (looking at you, overpriced crystal sellers) and embraced the beautiful complexity where science and witchcraft intertwine like ivy and oak.
So what's brewing on the new blog?
Magical Musings: Where I'll spill the enchanted beans on everything from historical witchy wonders to my latest thoughts on decolonizing our practices. Prepare for deep dives—with a splash of cheeky commentary, of course.
Reverent Rituals: Step into my sacred space as I share personal rituals and spells that are potent yet accessible—no unicorn tears or dragon scales required.
Purpose & Practice: Let's get down to the nitty-gritty of building a meaningful Craft without selling your soul (or your savings) for fancy tools. It's all about intent, baby!
Shadows & Selfsame: Join me on a journey through shadow work and self-exploration. Because even witches need to face their inner goblins.
Chosen Circle: A curated collection of resources, community shout-outs, and maybe a cat meme or two. Connection is magic, after all.
I care deeply about this path we're walking—respecting its roots, challenging the fluff, and finding that sweet spot where tradition and personal growth meet. If you're ready to explore the Craft with a dash of humor and a whole lot of heart, come fly with me!
So grab your broomsticks and let's embark on this enchanted adventure together. Trust me, it's going to be spellbinding. 🔮 https://www.tumblr.com/teaandbroomstickscafe
