Some of mainstream but medical dangerous trends
Safety first kids, today I will remember you SOME of the things you should not do...
- Drink water or any liquid that was in contact with stone/crystals: Minerals dissolve with water, my friends. Not in an amount that make it easy to notice with naked eye, but they do. And you drink the water with non-edible metals and stuffs (because there is not crystal that naturally be 10000% pure).
Yeah, if you do it once will probably do nothing, but damn, don’t poison yourself. Put the damn crystal next the water, please.
And if you take a shower, don’t put it INSIDE the water. Put it in a side please.

https://www.quora.com/Are-Crystal-Elixirs-or-Gem-water-toxic
- Carry SOME crystals as jewelry: Investigate well about your stones and crystals, a few of them react badly. For example, fluorite is pretty toxic if get wet and you know what sweat is? Water… Agate don’t react well with chemicals, so you should wear it with no contact of things like perfume or make up. Yeah, again, you are not gonna die for carry an agate, but still… basic google. Keep it inside a bag in your pocket instead.

- Burn any random herb: Please don’t. Unless you are 100% sure, don’t burn them. Smokes can be pretty dangerous. Example? Poison Ivy, the smoke is high toxic. Much less if you have a pet. If you HAVE to burn it, do it in a separate room apart of your pets, and be sure be well-ventilated so they can’t be affected after.
- Consume any random herb: Same. Some like Rue can do a lot of damage if you don’t use the specific low dose. Even well common and edible stuffs like oregano and nutmeg can do damage in overdose but well, even water in overdose is bad. Just go for the sure things and little.

https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/The-Poison-Path-Herbal/Coby-Michael/9781644113349
- Consume or apply pure essential oils: NO PLEASE. Use a diffusor, dilute it, use the super small amount! Essential oils are not just oils, are mega concentrated version to an oil. Your skin and general organs are not made to process that. With some specific oils, even the use of the correct dose shows be linked to hormone-related health complications.
Research has shown lavender oil to be associated with early breast development in girls: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31393563/
https://www.cnet.com/health/are-essential-oils-actually-safe/
- Detox the body: I will be clear and simple. If you have a liver and two kidneys, you don’t need detox. They do the job perfectly and if they didn’t, the humans will not be here since at least 10.000 years. Anything detox is a scam, period. And A DANGEROUS ONE. Example: these “put a tube with warm water in your ass to wash your intestines”. You know what are you washing? Your gut ecosystem, which will give you a hundred of medical issues later. Want to “detox the liver and intestines”? Just eat more vegetables, it makes both works smoothly and your good bacteria in the guts will be happy. Want to detox your kidneys? DRINK WATER WITHOUT CRYSTALS MF.

https://www.nccih.nih.gov/health/detoxes-and-cleanses-what-you-need-to-know
- The general “This Symptom is a magical thing”: Please don’t ignore your medical illnesses with the pretext is “angels calling” or “shifting” or any shit of that. Angels ringing your ears? From tinnitus to ear infection. You feel super sad? Is not an energy shifting because you are special, but mostly depression, get therapy please. Your hands are numb or tingle? Is not an entity grabbing you, but anything from a pinched nerve to thyroid issues. Some food suddenly make you feel sick? Mostly an intolerance or a gastroenteritis.
I don’t say that nothing that you feel is not real, I mean that you first need to check the medical mundane possibilities first. Is better be sure and avoid get serious sick later.

Controversial Opinion, Witchcraft Editition
I'm begging yall, please, please, please eliminate mundane explanations in your craft before assuming that it's magical.
Once all mundane explanations have been debunked or eliminated, then it could be classified as magical.

Celebrant's Note 3: Render onto Ceasar
For every lock there is a key. A key must be made to fit both the shape and material of its partner lock.
It is obvious a key of the wrong shape will not open a lock. It will not mesh with the intricacies of the lock, serving no greater purpose than any random shred of metal. A short-sighted man might continue to turn the key even onto the point of shearing key from keyhold. This leaves one with both a shattered key and a broken lock. The Seeker who uses the same solution for to vast an array of problems will become locked outside a door holding the base of a toothless key.
More subtle are the ways a key of the wrong material will fail you. A key must be of a similar material as the lock it will open. A soft key can flow and catch in the mechanism, a hard key can shear pins. Both could result in a lock that appears unharmed from the exterior but will not serve its purpose. It is a pitfall best avoided by knowing the nature of the problem you face. Find a solution that is of the same nature as the problem(physical to physical, intangible to intangible). If you have no appropriate tool for the task do not be tempted by solutions of ill-fitting nature that you have at hand. Instead turn away from your familiar tools and cut a new key.
-Z, a celebrant

In my practice I don't always seek a logical explanation for the things that happen to me. I don't always look for practical answers in the spiritual signs I experience or the omens that I witness. "Mundane before Magic" is not a hard rule for me. I understand the people who need that kind of boundary but, despite my anxiety, I personally don't find it useful.
I have found meaning in bird wings laid out on the sidewalk, even though I know stray cats have been roaming the area. I have felt my ancestors in the wind, and the gods of the wild hunt in the falling snow despite the fact that I live in the north west. I have seen curious spirits, grotesque apparitions, and quiet unblinking angels in the corner of my bedroom, and have still acknowledged their presence while simultaneously making a mental note that my Hypnagogia is clearly acting up. For me, spirituality and reality shake hands. For me there is no 'supernatural'.
There is a part of me that knows how to recognize something of spiritual significance from the static of everyday life and the noise of my own inner thoughts. It's the same part of me that I have a hard time explaining to young practitioners anytime they ask me how to tell an 'important' dream from a 'normal' dream. I've found myself trying to offer up useful checklists, or 'text book' examples: Does the dream stick to you like gum on your shoe? Do you keep turning it over in your mind? Do you feel an urgency surrounding the dream, a nagging sensation, even after waking up?
"You feel it where the soul meets bone" is what I really want to tell them. I heard that phrase on the radio once, "where the soul meets bone", and found it apt. I stole someone else's words to best describe a feeling that I otherwise found unexplainable (though, if I'm being honest, most people don't find it useful as an explanation).
I guess what I'm trying to say is, that there are people in the magical community who do not need to run through a list of logical and scientific explanations every time they feel they may have witnessed something of spiritual significance, whether that be a sign or an omen. I think there are some who must remember to be respectful, and try to understand that consistently reminding other practitioners of basic scientific principles, like 'cause and effect', can come off as condescending; even if there is a logical explanation that doesn't make something automatically 'mundane'.
After all, 'One Crow for Sorrow' is a poem that was written despite the fact that crows are not an uncommon bird. I think it's important to remember that magic and spiritual indicators are evident in the 'mundane' and the world around us; not separate from it. Like I said, for me there is no 'supernatural'.
There is a place where soul meets bone.

Magical correspondences are only valid within a magic belief structure and have little-to-no validity outside of that structure.
There may be reasons why an herb corresponds to xyz in some belief systems, but that doesn't mean that the herb has those abilities within chemistry and/or medicine.
Don't fucking consume an herb based only on it's magical correspondence.
Do not consume an herb without doing the proper research into interactions, contraindications, side-effects, preparation, and dosage.
Don't start taking herbal medicine without consulting your physician first.
"Witch" and "herbalist" are not synonyms.
"Herbalist" and "doctor" are not synonyms.
"Natural" does not mean "harmless".
Mundane > Magical, always, no exceptions.

There are things that just can never be spiritually explained away.
Bad things happen to good people. Human beings hurt one another and other beings on earth. There are simply no purposes and no justifications, nothing "cosmic" about any of it. It's the reality of this world of ours.

The Scarred Among the Mundane.
cw: yet another failed escape attempt, discussion of death, captivity, elf whumpee, but otherwise pretty tame in all, let me know if I missed anything
previous. masterlist. next
———
Steel shackles on his wrists and ankles. Deep shadows under his eyes, the price of sleepless nights and nightmare-wracked days. There’s an ache in Finn’s throat where there used to be sarcasm.
Finn shuffles forwards, into the sunlit courtyard. He looks up and the gold pools across his face and arms, embracing him like an old friend. His breath catches in his throat and stays there. Still staring at the brilliant-blue sky, he wraps chained arms around himself.
One slow step after another.
There’s sunlight, and its beautiful. It falls on the deep green of the waving trees behind the walls of the fortress. He eyes the tree line with longing.
“Finn,” says Verne behind him.
He flinches.
“You wouldn’t make it.”
Finn glances at her, red hair aflame. Then at the skeleton–ghostly pale and eyes empty, he shudders.
“I know,” he says. He takes another step forward. Then another. He can’t look away from those green trees and the gold on their leaves.
Finn is running before he fully realises it.
Even chained, he’s faster than any human, skeleton or not.
Even after weeks in that cell, freedom, dancing on the tops of the trees, seems merely a hansbreadth away.
He runs, heart in his throat.
He runs, and its a mistake.
He doesn’t make it as far as the wall. Verne stops him with a hand gesture. A raised finger. His whole body jerks out of control, frozen under Verne’s spell.
Finn hates her. He stares at the trees and burning sunlight and thinks about how much he hates her.
The wind laughs against his face, gentle at first but slowly turning bitter. Stinging. Whipping his braids around his face and making him flinch.
In the background, he can hear Verne cursing to herself. The words become clearer as she approaches. “Why would you do that?” She whirls on him, blood dripping from her nose. She licks it away.
Scarlet-red blood.
Scarlet-red rage.
She slaps Finn. Hard.
He can’t feel it– body detached from mind. Oh, how he hates her.
“Why would you do that?” she repeats.
Finn can think of a hundred reasons why he wants to leave. You’re stupid stupid stupid–
“It doesn’t matter now.” Verne sighs. “And the Monarch will be pleased with the progress. If I leave this escapade out of the report, will you behave?”
If Finn could roll his eyes, he would.
“Very well then. It’s not like you care about the report.”
I don’t.
The skeleton drags him back inside the fortress.
Cold. Wet. Dark.
No fire.
Ever.
Finn’s mind floats on the wind, the feeling of sunlight still warm. Still kind. He misses it already. Behind his eyes, Finn watches the flames dance. One day, he’ll set this place ablaze.
Back in the cell, Finn crumples, chained hands between chained legs.
Verne stands behind him. She rests a hand on his shoulder. “You hate me.”
Finn shrugs her hand off. The answer should be obvious.
“I do what I must, Finn.”
The only thing stronger than the despair is the hatred. Burning brighter than the flames. “You do it very well.”
“Fine,” Verne spits out. “Maybe I enjoy knowing that the lives lost because of you now rest in peace.”
Finn laughs hoarsely. “This is your idea of justice, necromancer?” He tilts his back and laughs again. Shaking sobs that fade to sobs. He rolls away from Verne, pulling his arms up to hide his face.
“It was either this or a hangman’s noose.”
Finn covers his ears, chains rattling at the slight movement.
But Verne pushes on. “Are you really saying death is preferable?”
A deep cold settles around him. It seeps into his bones and refuses to leave. It whispers yes.
“I’m not sorry for what I do.” Verne’s voice drops to a bat-pitched whisper. “I’m sorry it has to be you, though.”
It’s a lie and they both know it.

Me: *sees that for some reason both my neighbours have like five dandelions in their garden but for some reason my garden has more than thirty.*
Me: huh.. Cool
Tumblr: *random flooding of my dash with House MD posts even though I don't follow the tag and it hasn't been reblogged by anyone I follow.*
A small part of me: is this a sign?!
#Probably not lol#I'm more of a mundane before magical type of person.#Also idk what sign this would be.#witchblr#witchcraft#witch#deity work#deity witchcraft#deity worship#deity#helpol#paganblr

Add some whimsy to your day! It's not, "I've made my morning coffee" it is, "In the dawn, I have crafted an exquisite elixir made of three parts, all from distant lands. A sweet grass has been crushed and crystalized, a mother cow has lent me some milk, and the seeds of a supple fruit have been roasted and ground. I add to this boiled water, & feel invigorated by the potion!"
#me#my partner & I talk all the time about the whimsy & craft of so many 'mundane' things#If you really look at what is before you it is magic!

Am I playing Dragon Age: Origins for “A Chance Engagement” fic research, or am I procrastinating horribly from returning to that Regency AU Carver/Merrill longfic because I’m scared of fucking it up, you tell me 😂
Anyway, in all seriousness, I *was* playing DA:O for fic research – Chapter 57 has been half-written for ages until I remembered I was sending Merrill on a trip around Ferelden and Lothering and didn’t remember what Ferelden looked like 😂 but since I should have to fight the Broodmother soon, I’m not sure I particularly need *this* particular bit of DA:O for my fic research 😂😂😂
#i resurrected a years-old unfinished f!mahariel playthrough purely for merrill and sabrae clan fic research#the orzammar and deep roads arc is the last thing i need to finish before i can call the landsmeet#the Regency AU fic is also an almost-Mundane AU (i.e. no magic although i kept all the fantasy races) so darkspawn aren't a thing#and therefore i really don't need broodmother fic research for the fic LMAO (can you tell i'm not looking forward to fighting it)#anyway#hollyand rambles#dragon age#not sure whether i should tag the ship because this is really about me playing DA:O although fic research is the reason i'm playing it#will tag if anyone asks me to

Can't believe I had to explain to someone that the reason why their orange rotted isn't because "they did magnetism wrong" but because they bought the orange at least 15 days ago...

Remember Mundane before Witchy!
While doing a reading just now I felt sick and dizzy,- I remembered that I didn't eat breakfast (don't yell at me lol)
After the reading was finished, I looked down and saw a rolly polly (potato bug)- of course I saw a bug inside, its freezing outside!
Always deduce the mundane, and if nothing mundane comes to mind then it could mean something witchy.

Umm, mind if i ask
Got anything about Clause?
Tumblr deleted my original answer to this ask ;_;
Anyway! Clause is rich. Or at least was, in the outside world. It's why Aoji was talking about wanting a big house when facing Clause; their mansion was just obnoxiously huge.
All's not well with Clause, however.
"Clause" was a sickly child. No one could figure out what exactly was wrong with them, not even the top doctors in the country. The [REDACTED] family could afford the tremendous cost, at any rate. Only the best for their only child.
The location and size of the mansion was decided in part to help alleviate "Clause's" sickness. To get away from the smog of the city, the mansion was built in the countryside. So that "Clause" wouldn't feel confined when they were forbidden to leave during pollen season, many large and spacious rooms were built.
As for "Clause" themselves? They hated it.
When they were young, "Clause" was rather shy and meek. But they made a promise to themselves; once they got over this illness, they would become the outgoing person they were meant to be.
Years past, and they still find themselves in bed with a breathing tube.
So they began to go the other way, and lie to themselves. The only child of the [REDACTED] family was some sickly loser. They weren't that child anymore.
No, they were now Wilhelm von Clausewitz Halcyon HISUIMARU! And they will be powerful!
If anything, being spirited away to Mugenri was the best thing to have happened to them. Sure, they were dirt poor, and their were indeed times where they missed the luxuries they took for granted. But they were free.
#len'en#lenen#wilhelm von clausewitz halcyon hisuimaru#haven't decided whether the rest of the outside world gang met clause before or after their DARK METAMORPHOSIS#i'm waiting for jynx to reveal their true name first#also what their illness is#leaning towards it being magical#but it could be mundane!#clause is probably having the best time rn in mugenri#ain't nothing gonna break their stride#''gee starrot how did you come up with clause's backstory''#me pointing at karamatsu osomatsu-san: like that

The way I approach making content of my ocs is as if the main story has been written and carried out and I am making fanart of my favorite side/supporting character
#talking tag#the Tower is the main character and that story is set up like an indie rpg where they show up in a new small town and discover the mundane#in magic. the game is mostly just about walking around town‚ opening random doors‚ talking to people and completing fetch quests#you know that episode of pnf where Candace had to run around a flea market getting this thing for that guy and that thing for this girl?#its like that#the Tower ends up collecting a bunch of odds and ends by the end of it and the Hermit's house which was messy and filled with random things#ends up with those things being rehoused and then new things filling the space up instead#something about replacing impersonal burdens with personal bonds. and in doing so creates a space that draws people in#the house is lonely‚ i said before#its unfair to the house to clutter it with things you dont care about but cant let go of#oc tag
