I am so sorry for these unsollicited pussy pics but I had to share the kitties. First pic is my parent’s sweetie, Daisy. The second was back when I lived with someone and I had to share my bed with three cats. Miss them more than my flatmates tbh. From left to right Marguerite, Camus and Roland.

Aww what a bunch of cuties!! I hope you end up in a situation where you can be around kitties again ❤

I mean, it would be helpful for like, help with cleaning when you have low energy since i can only clean when im borderline manic and literally only on the full moon (weird im aware i always get restless) and on maintaining said clean, my problem is mainly, no only, with clothes, (ik you’re a regular human and might struggle with this too, my suggestion is to get asks and compile them into a mega post of tips! Since i have some, but it would be helpful to get others as well)

Honestly the suggestions you sent me are worthy of their own post and credit to you. I’d recommend writing them in a list, categorizing them if you can, and posting it! 

Suggested format:

(Title Font) Low energy cleaning or Cleaning with low motivation

Brief intro, explaining why these things are helpful for you.

General tips:

  • Tip 1
  • Tip 2
  • Etc.

Specific tips – make as many of these categories as needed (for clothes, for cleaning a specific room/place):

  • Same format as above
  • Etc.
  • Etc.

Here is a place for you to add links to related posts, to add or link any other information, to add a personal ending note, etc. 

Please send me a message if you need support writing the post, or would like me to send you the additional anons you sent to remember. I would also be happy to contribute to your post if you need additional ideas.

And please send me the post if you do write it, which I really hope you do but completely understand that it can take a lot of energy and focus to write a post like that! ❤

Hi! I was wondering if you new of any spells that would help me. As of recently I have a friend who keeps calling me something I am not. It started out as a joke and he has taken it a bit too far. He’s telling other people and people that are close to me. I’ve told him to stop and he will not. Any spells that you think would work is greatly appreaciated.

Honestly in situations like this, I rarely turn to magic. Communication is key.

Tell him that if you can’t respect your boundaries and requests that you don’t want to be around him anymore, and take some space. Either he’ll figure his shit out or he won’t, and do you really want to be around someone who isn’t willing to listen to and understand your needs? I would also suggest talking with the people close to you (that he’s been talking to) and explaining the situation.

Here’s some spells and magic to help with good communication:

To reveal lies/the truth:

Best of luck!

I woke up to find not one, not two, not three, not four, but ALL FIVE kittens sleeping on my bed.

And by kittens I mean my four 5-month old kittens and my one 12-year old kitten ☺️

There’s been a request for photos! If you want to see all the pics I’ve posted of them since I got them, check out #kittentag on my blog.

This was them this morning – it was super hard to get all of them in the shot without disturbing them so it’s a lil blurry.

Another day, another cuddle puddle

Navigating Witchblr: Some Advice

Welcome! Chances are, if you’re reading this post, you’re (relatively) new to the witchblr community on tumblr, or you’re just looking for some tips on how to improve your experience on witchblr. Either way, welcome to the community.

First, let’s clarify some terms. By “witchblr,” I am referring to the tumblr community of blogs that focus on witchcraft. So, if you’re a witch and you have a tumblr that’s mostly or partially about witchcraft, you’re part of this community!

Joining the witchblr community can seem daunting and intimidating at first: sometimes it seems like everyone already knows each other, you might feel intimidated by more experienced witches, etc. Here are some tips to get more involved and have a more pleasant witchblr experience!

Read people’s about and informational pages!

If someone’s blog has an “about” page or any other pages that they suggest you read before following or interacting, please read them! This is especially important if you plan on buying a reading or other magical service from someone, as most people will put their rules and guidelines on these pages.

Be respectful

This should be a given, but sometimes people forget that there are other people behind the screen. When asking questions, say thank you after. If someone says free tarot readings are closed, don’t pressure people into giving you a reading anyway. Treat others the way you wish to be treated.

Avoid drama blogs.

Unfortunately, like any large online community, there are some members who thrive off of the occasional discourse that pops up. Avoid blogs that are dedicated to starting drama, as interacting with these blogs can sometimes drag you into the drama.

On that note, use the block button when you need to!

There’s no shame in blocking blogs that make you uncomfortable or that you simply dislike. You are in total control of your witchblr experience, so if you don’t want certain blogs to interact with yours, don’t be afraid to use the block button.

Google, then ask questions

When faced with a question, always turn to Google first before asking another witchblr member a question. Nowadays, information on witchcraft is readily available, and most “Witchcraft 101” questions will pop up first in search results.

If you aren’t satisfied with your Google results, then it’s a good time to reach out to other witchblrs for help. Taking initiative in your research is a good trait to have, and it stops people from having to answer the same questions over and over again. Plus, with Google, you’ll get an answer much faster.

Respect closed cultures.

If a marginalized group says a certain practice or tradition is closed, respect that. There are tons and tons of open practices for you to choose from. It’s perfectly fine to follow and interact with members of a closed path, but make sure to respect their boundaries.

Join a Witchy Discord group

With the way tumblr is structured, it’s sometimes difficult to feel a sense of community. For solitary witches, this can feel especially isolating. Joining a discord group is a great way to make similar-minded friends and feel more connected to the community. Or if you have a few witchy friends, you could even make your own server!

If you’re 18+ and looking an active discord group, feel free to join my server: The Nightshade Network!

Post original content

If you’re hoping to get a bit more traffic to your blog, create some original content! That may include personal posts about where you are in your craft, art that you create, spells that you’ve written and work well for you, and more! The more active you are in the community, the more noticeable you will be!

Be yourself!

Never, ever misrepresent yourself. Don’t lie about how many years of experience you have or claim other ideas as your own. If you get caught in a lie, your followers will likely lose trust in you. You are perfect just the way you are, and you will grow and improve with your craft the longer you practice. Lying won’t make you seem cool, but being yourself will!

Lastly: Have fun!
