My main blog is @manicmushroomforest so my likes/follows will come from there!
Welcome to my blog where I will be posting anything pagan/witchy, as I consider myself an eclectic pagan. I'm currently in the process of trying to get back into my practice, but here is some info about my pratice!
I have been practicing for around 4-5 years
I'm godspoused (romantically) to Anubis, Loki, Hermes, and Hypnos
I practice some deathwork, chaotic magick, and divination (mainly tarot)
My Matrons* are Lady Isis and Queen Hera, and my Patron* is Hephaestus
*For the words Matron and Patron, I personally use them to define my deity moms and dad but I recognize it has many uses/definitions
General DNI applies (No homo/transphobes, ableists, racists, etc.)
Also, please DNI if you are under 16 (this is just for my own comfort, but I also will not be family-friendly on this blog, or any of my blogs for that matter)
Some general info of note about me; I'm neurodivergent (ADHD, DID, OCD, among other disorders/mental illnesses), I'm a fanfic writer (Fungi_Stardust on ao3), and I am queer (abrosexual and trans ftm)
With that all being said, thank you for reading! I am open to any asks, so feel free to shoot any questions my way, and I'll be happy to answer them if I can

How to Write Your Own Spells
Tumblr media
There are lots of ways to create spells, from planning everything to the minutest detail ahead of time to absolutely flying by the seat of your pants in the moment. If you'd like to write your own spells, either for use in your craft or as a creative exercise, here are some suggested steps that I use in my own practice:
1) Determine the intent or goal of your spell. Decide, first and foremost, what you want the spell to do. Refine your goal if necessary and try not to be too nebulous. Your intent tells the spell what it's meant to do. A more focused goal may increase the chances of success.
2) Determine how you want the spell to manifest. Decide how the spell should work and what the result should look like. This is a good time to build in a sign of success, especially for spells that may not work in an obvious or visible way.
3) Determine what or whom the spell will affect. If the spell is to have a target, be it a person or a place or an animal or an object, decide what that should be and how they or it will be represented in the casting.
4) Determine how long the spell is meant to work. If your spell is timebound or has a deadline, decide what that will be. If the spell is meant to work long-term, you may want to check in and refresh it from time to time. (Not every spell will be timebound. Many spells will simply expire when they have fulfilled their purpose or if they are blocked or circumstances are not favorable.)
5) Determine the timing of the spell, if applicable. Not everyone uses celestial or astrological timing for their spells, but if you do, look into the prevailing conditions and decide on an advantageous time for your casting. (Please note that magical timing can only enhance your spell and casting something on the "wrong" day will not necessarily cause it to fail.)
6) Determine what methods and materials you want to use to cast the spell. Decide how you're going to go about performing the casting, whether you're doing a ritual or making a charm or just using energy. If you're going to need a ritual space or physical components, plan that out and make sure it fits with what you want to do.
7) Determine the words, if any, which will empower the spell. If you want to include a prayer or a petition or a song or an incantation with your spell, decide what that should be. This is not strictly necessary and the words need not be spoken aloud. (Rhyming incantations are not required, but if you prefer them that way, you can certainly do so.)
8) Prepare the materials for casting the spell. Get all your necessaries together ahead of time. Make sure you have everything you need, that tools and components are in good and useable condition, prepare your workspace, and make sure everything is within easy reach so you don't have to stop and search for things in the middle of your casting. (And for goodness sake, if you're working with open flame, observe fire safety and tie your hair and sleeves back.)
9) Finalize details and perform the casting. When you're ready to begin, try to eliminate as many possibilities for distraction or interruption as possible. Go over your spell and components one more time, then proceed with casting the spell.
10) Record the particulars for future reference and to determine how well the spell worked. Make a record of the spell, including your goal, how it should manifest, the words and components used, the date of the casting, the casting method and procedure, and how the casting went. If there are any additional details or observations that seem important, include those as well. This will serve as a useful learning tool in the future and will allow you to check your work if the results make themselves known.
It's useful to write spells from time to time if the inspiration strikes you, in order to better understand how they fit together and how they work. Plus it's a fun and creative journaling exercise and recording the spells you cast a great way to measure your progress later on.
For additional tips on writing your own spells and helpful tricks for using timing and available materials to your advantage, check out my podcast, Hex Positive, Eps. 006-007, "Come In For A Spell, pt 1 & 2."
(And if you’re enjoying my content, please feel free to drop a little something in the tip jar or check out my published works on Amazon or in the Willow Wings Witch Shop. 😊)
Happy Witching! 🔮✨

Basic everyday spirituality tips -
Practice gratitude: Take some time every day to reflect on the things in your life that you are thankful for. This can help you cultivate a positive mindset and attract more positivity into your life.
Meditate: Meditation is a great way to quiet your mind and connect with your inner self. It can help you reduce stress, improve your focus, and gain clarity.
Spend time in nature: Spending time in nature can help you feel more connected to the world around you and provide a sense of peace and tranquility.
Practice self-care: Taking care of your physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being is important for your overall health. This can include things like getting enough sleep, eating healthy foods, exercising, and spending time doing things you enjoy.
Practice forgiveness: Holding onto grudges and resentment can weigh you down spiritually. Practicing forgiveness, both for yourself and others, can help you let go of negative emotions and move forward.
Surround yourself with positive energy: Surround yourself with people and things that bring positivity into your life. This can include spending time with supportive friends and family, listening to uplifting music, and surrounding yourself with meaningful symbols or objects.
Practice mindfulness: Being present in the moment can help you connect more deeply with your surroundings and cultivate a greater sense of inner peace. Try to focus on the present moment and engage your senses fully in your experiences.

some tarot tips i've collected over the years
- when shuffling, pay attention to the cards that fall out of the deck. sometimes they have a special message for you.
- questions aren't always necessary when reading. letting the cards tell you what they need to helps to develop your intuition, and the relationship between you and your deck (or the spirit you are working with, depending on how you divine information).
- when reading with multiple cards (i.e. as a spread), try and string the cards together rather than interpreting them by their individual meanings:
recurring suits, themes, symbols, and numbers
proportions of suits and uprights vs. reversals
position of the cards (e.g. if people are present in the cards, where are they looking?)
colours of the cards (e.g. do any of the cards stand out more than the rest?)
- although each card has a core meaning, different decks with different art could emanate different "flavours" of the core meaning.
- draw a clarifying card if something confuses you, but try not to draw any more than two cards per reading.
