Hey there! I was wondering if you knew any other ways besides using personal energy for spells to make a spell function or using yourself as a holding bay. Like, I get it, there needs to be energy involved, but I really can’t use too much of my own anymore and using my body as a bay makes me nauseous. It exhausts me way too much and leaves me in pain, because getting up to do things often does. But I really want to continue using magic, as it has been beneficial in my life before. Got any ideas?

Use the energy of other things to boost your own ☺️

Hey there, closeted baby witch here. Just wondering what’s the best way to go about cleansing crystals and tarot cards discreetly. Thank you!

Honestly any cleansing method can be discreet if you use common sense! ☺️

•Smoke = outside/in a well-ventilated area.
•Moon = late at night/on the windowsill covered by a curtain.
•Earth = on or in the earth, tucked behind or under something.
•Water = (not for tarot cards, duh!). Place in a bowl/jar or under running water. Tuck someplace hidden.
•Cleansing/charging board = anywhere hidden.
•I’ve never had an issue with cleansing methods being restricting, you just have to be strategic with when/where!

not really witchcraft related but I don’t know who else to ask about this. as a spoonie when I’m low energy I get very irritable and snap at my friends and family a lot. I hate this about myself but don’t know how to change it. any advice on remaining kind and patient with difficult people while on low energy?

I get like this a lot, and it’s really frustrating because it’s not at all who I am as a person but I can’t help it and it’s like one of my favorite traits about myself (my kindness and patience and friendliness)… Anyways here’s some things that have helped me:

  • Talk with your friends and family and let them know that when you snap, it’s probably because you’re in pain/miserable. While what you say/do may still be hurtful, it helps to know that you’ve already communicated this with them.
  • If at all possible, leave. Take some breaths, hold back that comment and take some space. It’s okay to tell your friends “Hey I’m feeling a little off/grumpy/snappish and I don’t want to take that out on you so I’m gonna take some space”. This could also be chillin in the corner with your headphones in/on your phone.
  • When you do snap, and you likely will (we’re all human!), take time to cool down. Then go back and explain why. “Hey you didn’t deserve to be snapped at. You were doing X and between that and my pain, it was too much and I lost my cool. I’m sorry if I hurt you/that didn’t feel good. It wasn’t fair of me to take that out on you.” Explain what was going on but also apologize because they likely didn’t mean to make you snap. 
  • Take a breath. Think about things from their perspective. If you said those things or you were the person you’re about to talk to, how would you like to be treated? 

I honestly get hella grumpy whether or not there are people around, I think it’s the brain’s way of coping with constant grossness happening in the body. These things usually help:

  • Listening to music. Sometimes calming, sometimes manic screamer stuff. If one doesn’t work, try the other. Release that gross energy. This also acts as a shield between you and the world (and people).
  • Get some fresh air. Go outside, open a window, stand in front of a fan or AC.
  • Cool down, literally. Splash some cold water on your face, wipe down your arms, legs, etc. 
  • I like carrying some calming crystals (or other object) that I can hold and focus on to calm down. 
  • Move around (in a way that is healthy for you). Walk it off, dance it off, wiggle it off.
  • Write about how pissed you are. Find every little thing that’s annoying you. I’d then recommend writing the pros of those things or some positive things you’ve noticed, if you’re in the right place for that.
  • Sometimes you just gotta destroy something. Rip up some paper, smear paint or sharpie on something (that you won’t regret later), I’ve even thrown an egg on the kitchen floor before, although I prefer to avoid wasting food it was a needed thing for my mental health lol. 

im curious if this is a real thing you’ve heard of? basically my fam’s from peru and theres this superstition/ real thing where if you take someone’s underwear ( vv intimate clothes) and bury it in a cemetery (and I guess some other bad stuff) it can slowly make the owner sick/die. they’ve seen it almost happen to someone but they managed to break the connection. can that happen with all things that are always on you, always wear, etc?

Interesting, I haven’t heard of that before! (So I couldn’t really speak on whether or not it would work with all clothes).
