If you don't mind me adding on, definitely the reviews are a big help, especially check the negative ones and the positive ones that are detailed beyond "great product and fast shipping!" There are definitely fakes, be careful. Also lits of reaserch on what a crystal SHOULD look like. Pictures tend to be a little extra saturated so the more you know, the better.
Hi! Just wondering what your thoughts on purchasing crystals from eBay are? I'm a little scared they might be fake? Thanks x
I have purchased crystals on ebay before! I would highly highly highly suggest reading the reviews and seeing if the seller mentions anything in the product description towards the bottom of the page :)

I ONLY JUST LEARNED ABOUT THE EXISTENCE OF THIS MUSHROOM????? WHICH ERUPTS FROM AN EGG BEFORE UNCURLING HELLISH ARMS, EXPOSING ITS STICKY MASS OF SPORES TO BE SPREAD BY FLIES ATTRACTED BY THE SCENT OF ROTTING FLESH???
Admittedly, I am easily won over by all organisms that attract flies with the scent of rotting flesh. But the octopus stinkhorn (Clathrus archeri) also has tentacles, a freaky egg stage, and blackish goop, so it’s my favorite now.

please
this is probably going to happen
trump will probably become president. The repubs will have congress. SCOTUS will be conservative.
so please
we have to watch out for each other. The people who put Trump in power are going to try to destroy all of us. We have to reach across communities to protect each other. LGBT people have to defend muslims. Latinxs have to watch out for disabled people.
WE HAVE TO HAVE EACH OTHER’S BACKS IF ANY OF US WANT TO SURVIVE THIS.
The news is calling this a New Order.
We need to band together, or die alone.

birtday candles are also super cheap and come in a variety of colors!
Witchcraft On A Budget
Tumblr media
Candles
Melt Micheal's Ashland® Basic Elements™ Tea Lights, 50 Pack ($2.99) with Dollar Tree Crayons ($1.00) to create your own unique rainbow of colors. However, in my experience, Dollar Tree brand crayons are more pastel / muted versions of the colors. For more exact primaries use Micheal’s Crayola Crayons ($0.59 - $4.99).
Once your candles are set, pop them out of the metal container and place in glass candle holder for safe wax-pouring in spell work.
Tumblr media
Candle Holders / Wax Burners
Shop around at your local Dollar Tree to take your pick of their fair selection of wax burners ($1.00) and candle stick holders ($1.00). If you’re wanting to pour your candle wax onto vials or parchment, I recommend going with a stemless glass candle holder as glass has minimal heat-transfer.
Tumblr media
Melting Wax and Incense 
The Dollar Tree and Micheal’s both have a number of scents that you can pick up in both melting wax and cone incense forms. Dollar Tree price, $1.00 each; Micheal’s price, $2.99 each. Keep in mind that Dollar Tree wax only comes with 4 cubes, while Micheal’s wax comes with 6 cubes.
Tumblr media
Crystals
Check out Etsy and Ebay for great crystal deals! Most are priced between $0.50 - $3.00 depending on the size, and on Ebay it’s always possible to find great stones that come with Free Shipping! Take heed, though, while Ebay may be cheaper, you’re going to have to wait. My Ebay purchases usually take a month or more to arrive and more often than not do not come with tracking. It may be worth it to pay the $2.00 - $4.00 shipping charges on Etsy to get your package in a week or two with tracking.
Also, many Etsy shops give shipping deals if you buy more than one item from them. Find a stone deal you like then browse that seller’s shop for the other stones you’re looking for!
Tumblr media
Vials and Bottles
Large bottles from Micheal’s are $1.49 each, a pack of small vials cost $6.99. Micheal’s also sells cork packs from $1.99-$4.99.
You can also find amazing vial deals on Ebay. I just bought a pack of 20 with corks for less than $8.00, but I’ve seen packs as low as $4.00.
Tumblr media
Altar Decorations
The Dollar Tree has an amazing assortment of baskets, flowers, leaves, and fake fruit, all $1.00 each!
The Dollar Tree also has a number of cheap frames that range in size, so you can easily print out pictures of your deity or any animal you choose and frame them without the cost.

I smeant to add, reach out to secular witches. Search the secular witchcraft tag and find what speaks to you. Try alsonlooking into atheistic witchcraft. I'm not sure what you'll find on that tag but hopefully it will help you!
I'm an atheist, and witchcraft seems pretty interesting, but I don't necessarily want to consider it my religion. Any suggestions?
that’s not a problem at all!
witchcraft can be or not a part of you religion practice, that’s why it’s called witchcraft, it’s a craft, it doesn’t have to have anything to do with beliefs.
you can practice witchcraft the same way, and if you come across a spell you want to perform but it’s tied to a deity, just adapt it to your craft

I'm part of a few discord communities. It is pretty great
Hey everyone, I don’t know what you guys think but having a coven organized in tumblr seems a little messy, at least to me.
What do you guys think of making a Facebook group? It’s more organized imo and I feel like it’ll make us feel more connected. If some of the members aren’t out of the broom closet that’s no problem, we’ll make the group secret.
Tell me what you think!

I dealt with like....ALL OF THE DOUBTS. i started young and after a particularly sad moment in my life the left me to abandoning my family's religion. It's normal to struggle and question, if anything its quite healthy. If you aren't skeptic there are those who may try to trick you into something. I'd say, keep questioning, but also keep your mind open to the possibilities. There are things that may surprise you
Hi everyone! I don't really know if I have a specific question, but as someone who grew up religious and then became very strongly atheist before thinking about witchcraft/paganism, I have a hard time dealing with my own skepticism, and doubts about what works and what I believe? I guess if I wanted to practice I would consider myself an atheist witch but I wonder if anyone else deals with doubts about their craft. There are things I really want to buy into but find it difficult.
welcome!

I’m 5000% down. Who knows if it’ll work, but tbh I’m desperate. I don’t want a raging cheeto for a president
Curse Trump Nov. 7th @ 5pm ct
Hey witches of tumblr. So…we’re gettin’ political. BUT it’s important. Normally under different circumstances I wouldn’t even think about cursing or hexing. But Trump is threatening LGBTQ+ lives, POC, disabled, and many more. Not to mention he could bring back witch trials if he wanted. Point being- We need to stand together. Protect yourselves and curse that mf. Anytime before the election of or we can team up (seperately) on Nov. 7th @ 5:00pm central time. I’m genuinely terrified at this point. Please signal boost if you agree.

also keep in mind that rose water is best used in 1-2 weeks but can last up to 4 if you keep the water in your fridge. It does go bad unfortunately :/ 
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
How to Make Your Own Rosewater (the easy way!)
Collect rose petals, enough to fill a large pot.
Place petals in pot, fill water just over petals, simmer on LOW, do not let the water boil. When the water turns redish and the petals wither and float to the top it’s done.
Strain water into jar. If necessary, place a bowl under jar to save water.
There you are! Homemade rosewater. Add oil or anything you desire, I added vanilla to my rosewater. Refrigerate until cool, then you can pour rosewater into smaller bottles for spritzers :)
(Optional) I saved the petals to grind in my motar, and poured the water into my jar as well as squeezing out any excess water in the petals.

1000% this
Reminder
It is perfectly okay not to embrace every area of witchcraft. You’re still a valid witch. In fact, everyone has areas that don’t interest them or creep them out.
For instance, I rarely use sigils, and using bones freaks me out. But, those things are loved by many witches. Both ways are okay.
What areas aren’t your cup of tea?

Witch Tip
This is a crystal charger box. It’s a really simple way for charging your crystals for specific needs. All you have to do is get a box, write what you want the crystal to be charged with on top of the lid - for example promoting sleep, and then place the crystal in the box. Great for charging on the go!
If you want to, here is a tutorial on how to do your own paper box if you feel extra crafty. It’s really good if you have crystals in different sizes; just change the paper’s measurements. Make sure your crystals are cleansed and free of negativity before putting them in the box, so it doesn’t get all clogged up. The same box can be used several times, if you like.

I would LOVE to be a part of this
If I started a LGBTQIA online coven...
Would anyone be interested in joining? It’d be for the queer witch community, just like a club for sharing spells and things, helping each other out, just chatting, ect.
I think we need a safe space for queer witches where we can talk about our craft without any worry of homophobia or transphobia.
Reply to this post if you’d want in! I may make a network/group for us if enough people would join! Also, feel free to reply to this post with suggestion!
