Hi, I don’t curse, but can we all just agree that cursing white supremacists is a really good-heckin idea right now? Can everyone please just get along and work together to annihilate the fucking Nazis? Just imagine we’ve got our cursers on offense here in combat sending forth their collective conscious force of magickal fucking wrath and non-cursers on support throwing binding spells left and god damn right, energizing the magickally drained cursers after battle, and healing those ill-affected by the war. I’m honestly not settling for less than some fantastic full fledged army of Nazi-ass-busting witches here.
I’m in
Idea for non-curser witches: you can always bind their sorry asses from hurting and harming others. Just a friendly witch tip 😉
It’s also a good idea to cast protection/good luck spells to help protect the people in danger of nazi bullshit
I’m glad you all enjoyed this edition of “Late Night Stonery Ramblings with Amanda” which I barley remember writing from my apparent high-induced inspiration for motivational speeches and destroying the Nazis.
I’m gonna be slaving away at the keyboard today gathering a wide variety of information to compile a detailed master post with spells and tips for both cursers and non-cursers to all gather and merrily participate in the Nazi-ass-busting together in harmony.
[Spell Jar to Protect American Minorities]– I need to give a special shout out to the creator here because this spell is fucking awesome and is absolutely perfect for this cause and useful for all types of witches!
[Avada Kedavra Curse] – “a
harry potter inspired curse designed not to kill, but to make the
target feel death’s presence in their life.”
[Red In Your Ledger Curse] – “a
curse to inflict all the pain a person has caused back on them, one
item at a time.”
[Seven Devils Curse] – “inspired
by florence + the machine’s “seven devils”, a curse to burn the
kingdom of and haunt the target.”
[The Gaston Curse] – “curse to knock someone off of their high horse and make them feel the pain they have inflicted upon others and/or you.”
[Voice Theft Curse] –
“a curse to stop someone who has been spewing hateful speech and words and return that negativity they put out back into their life.”
Hey witches! This is what I personally do to clean my bedroom as a witch. I find incorporating witchcraft into housekeeping really changes it from a mundane task into a pleasant and grounding practise.
To begin, I open my window to allow fresh air to circulate and to let stagnant energy out.
My first task is stripping my bedcovers and putting them in a laundry, then making up my bed with fresh pillowcases and sheets. I personally spritz my bed linen with a homemade essential oil spray made from water, witch hazel and lavender essential oil. My predominant scent for the bedroom is lavender due to its relaxing and sleep aid properties, but you can use whatever you like.
I make lavender sachets out of dried lavender which I place under and in my pillowcases.
I then move onto clearing my floor of any clothing. I have a laundry basket in the corner where I place dirty clothing, and I fold everything clean up or hang it in my wardrobe. I love to use my essential oil diffuser with my favorite scents and place it in my wardrobe to make my clothing smell lovely and fresh, and I make herbal sachets for inside my drawers for the same purpose.
Any other miscalleneous items on my floor or chair get put away in their correct areas. I have a basket under my nightstand which I have gotten into the habit of placing random items in, so I sort through this and put everything away.
I then move into organising the tops of my dressers and tables. I usually move most items off surfaces and onto my bed while I spray and wipe all of my surfaces down. I make my own cleaning spray out of white vinegar, citrus peels and lemongrass essential oils for this purpose. I also empty all of my incense holders of ash and then rearrange everything back into its correct place.
The next step is my altar. After wiping down the surface of my altar, I rearrange it how I wish. If I’m performing a certain spell that day, I will also make sure my needed items are laid out and ready to go.
All items off my windowsill then get taken off while I wipe it down with my spray and wipe. Many of my crystals and plants are stored here, and I rearrange afterwards as I wish.
Now that my floor is cleared, I am able to vacuum.
I then cleanse my room either using a sage stick or sage incense.
Finally, I water all my plants, set out fresh flowers on my nightstand and either use my essential oil diffuser, light an incense or light a scented candle to make my room smell lovely. 💖
These are ways I personally honor Freyr and my personal associations with offerings. If you have something negative to say keep it to yourself, these are personal and work for me.
Take care of yourself mentally and emotionally. He’s a fertile nature god, whatever negative thoughts you have about yourself will grow but so will the good. Practice self love, please.

since i’m starting to work on getting my own Grimoire better organized and figuring out what i think fits best in it for me, i feel like i should log some ideas that have helped me in my journey in hopes that it could help someone else just starting out. but just remember that your Grimoire is your own and personal to you and you alone so you don’t need to put everything in if it doesn’t vibe well with you or doesn’t fit into your craft. your book should hold things that are personal to you and your craft and what you believe and you don’t need to have every bit of knowledge in your book.

***correspondences =things such as 》elements, colors, symbolism, planets, astrology, anatomy, ect. really anything else important tied to something.
obviously you can pick and choose whatever works best for yourself and your craft, and i don’t even have some of these in my own book but still thought they would be helpful to include for witches like me who are just starting out who need ideas of what their books can hold! i’ll probably start posting more about my grimorire and how i keep it organized as well!
if you think i’ve missed anything feel free to add on more ideas to pass on to your fellow baby witches!
You want to get your bffl the perfect magical gift, but you’re no basic witch: you can’t just buy any pack of incense and call it a day! For those of you that want to imbue a little magic into your festive gifting, here’s our list of DIY ideas for the holidays and all year round.
1. Perfume. Fragrance is always a great gift option, but why not make it more personal and blend the scent yourself? This is also a great option because it allows you to easily add some magic based on the ingredient correspondences. Try out one of these ideas and then charge your creation under the full moon!
2. Black Bath Bomb. We’ve all seen the hypnotizing black bath bomb that took over the internet, but what better way to add extra magical umph then to make it yourself? Give a go at either this recipe or this one for the perfect bath to banish negative energy. Add an essential oil of your choice for even more magic.
3. Incense Cones. Just because you’re not buying a pack of incense doesn’t mean you have to forgo the idea entirely. Making incense means more magic when burned then store-bought, and now you can customize it to your receiver’s needs. Use this recipe as a guide but use your own ground herbs to target what this witch needs more of in their life (hint: its probably cleansing!).
4. Salve or Balm. Every witch loves a gifted salve because it means they don’t have to make it. These make particularly great gifts for those friends who want something practical and useful in addition to being cute (looking at you, earth signs). A great compilation of recipes can be found here.
5. Gem Soap. It looks as pretty as a crystal, but has an everyday use, too! Make a big batch with this recipe to give to all the bath witches in your life and all the witches with the swoon-worthy gem collections. Hell, give them to all the witches in your life because they’re so absolutely adorable!
6. Bath Melts. Especially around the holidays, bath melts are great because they deliver much needed moisture to dry, irritated skin. This recipe, made with milk, honey, and almond oil, could easily be charged to attract prosperity and therefore makes a great gift for any struggling witches out there.
7. Smoke Cleansing Sticks. This one is for the purist friend who likes the traditional (they probably read all of Cunningham). Why reinvent the wheel when you can just give it a seasonal twist? Personal favorite of this list is the thyme and cinnamon bundle because it just screams holiday energy.
8. Reading Runes. While runes are typically inscribed with the Norse alphabet, why not give a version you know they don’t have with a moon phase update? Not only are they the cutest ever, but you can ascribe your own meanings! Note: the original link is under construction but general instruction can be found here.
9. Body Butter. A charged body oil post bath magic can be heavenly but it sure is messy. Upgrade your fellow witch’s ritual experience by making them a fun whipped body butter instead. This recipe uses hibiscus tea, which would be perfect for attracting love, but switch in lavender tea for protection or ginger tea for confidence.
❤️I’m obsessed with rose water, I recently started using it all the time. In baths, in tea, in spells, etc. So I decided instead of spending more to buy small bottles in store I’d just make my own, if you’ve never done this let me learn you a thing!
What you need:
🌹Roses (duh right)
🌹Distilled water
🌹Strainer
🌹Storage container for your water
🌹Something to do for 20 minutes
•So, get your roses off the stem and pull those petals apart! Make sure you rinse them in lukewarm water to get any gunk off!
•After your petals are rinsed, toss them into your pot and fill it with just enough distilled water to cover the petals!
•Turn the heat up and let those babies simmer for about 20 minutes. (I did the dishes while I waited, but you do you).
•When the petals look lighter pink and flimsy you’re just about done! Let it cool or keep it hot, either way it’s time to strain them!
•Strain right into container or glass bowl to let cool.
•Enjoy your rose water!
(I got the roses for $8 on Valentines Day clearance – with some discount chocolate because why not – and I used 6 of them to make my water!) (DISCLAIMER: If you ARENT using organic roses it’s not recommended that you ingest or use this on your skin- use organic roses to make that water. This stuff is great for spells though!)
