*holds out microphone* what does being a witch actually entail
i mean. it depends what you mean by this but i'm guessing you mean 'what do witches actually do?' so here goes.
spells:
one thing that nearly all witches do is that we cast spells
these can be as simple as a sprig of lavender left under a pillow
or as complex as a huge sigil drawn over the ground and a bonfire and expensive, rare ingredients
essentially though, spells are you harnessing the energy of things around you to achieve a desired outcome
you don't even need ingredients tho – you can cast spells with just your mind (by channelling energy – i'll explain this later)
divination:
basically telling the future
sort of
a lot of the time it doesn't tell you What Will Happen so much as give you a vague idea of how you will be affected/how you should react – tarot cards and oracle cards do this
you can also use a pendulum for simple yes/no questions or to find something
the most important part of all of this as far as i can tell is energy, though.
energy is this pretty nebulous concept within witchcraft – no one can agree on what it is, how it works, whether it exists or not, etc etc
but what most of us do agree on is that it powers our spells
you can harness energy from a lot of different sources – yourself, the sun, the moon, nature, any living being, that sort of stuff (this part is up to you tbh)
so when you do a spell you are putting this energy into a vessel
for example, i like to charm my jewellery by channelling protective energy into it
anything else – all these 'correspondences' you see – is just additional
to explain – say you want to do a love spell. you could use any old rock for this, and channel your own energy with the love intention into it. but using rose quartz would make it easier for you to direct that energy where you want it to go
(correspondences are like obsidian = protection, lavender = sleep, sun water = vigour, that sort of stuff)
(correspondences aren't objective – there are widely accepted ones like rose quartz for love but you can still ignore those and make up your own lmao)
ok i hope that helped – if you have more questions ask away :)

genuinely obsessed with the use of the dative of instrument for achilles in book 22. sometimes grammar is grammar and sometimes grammar reaches through 3000 years of history to grab you by the throat

Hey it’s me again Um I have another question for you..
So after the whole waterfall fiasco do you think Oncie became like EXTREMELY protective of Pip-squeak
Like once-ler would be in “protective dad mode” if pip-squeak were to fall over 
Ooo, I love this one. In my opinion, Onceler and Pip-Squeak's relationship is pretty fun and sweet and it really should've gotten more screen time in the movie. I love how he just cuddles him like a teddy bear in that one scene (you know which scene) and I think they're so adorable together! I don't think Onceler was EXTREMELY protective over Pip-Squeak, like he wouldn't be like, YUP, this is MY baby, do NOT touch him under ANY circumstance or I will have to END you, but I agree he's totally like a dad with that protective instinct in many of the scenes.
