I am an experienced faerie witch. I do not recommend faerie work for the beginners. It’s just not something you can dive headfirst into!
Faerie witchcraft is the path where you work with the fae to accomplish spells, divination, and other spirit work. However, unlike spirit work, the fae are extremely temperamental and should not be called upon for trivial matters.
When working with the fae, it’s important to keep manners in mind. Sometimes it’s unavoidable (glares at my dumbass parents who thought I was joking about the faeries in the yard), but unless you’re like me, and thought faeries were the coolest and learned literally everything about them even before starting witchcraft, then you probably have no clue of faerie etiquette.
Here’s a handy-dandy list of the basics!
Do not leave offerings only during spell work! This tells them this is payment and that you only want to use them. It irritates them, just like when someone goes up to you and goes “Here’s this thing, now do xyz for me!” No one likes that.
No thank yous or you’re welcomes. Also reads as part of a bargain. If you say thanks for doing something, then they will assume you are bringing them a thing in return and hassle you until you do so. Saying you’re welcome is like you’re graciously accepting this gift they’ve given you... when you haven’t given them anything...
If you bake something, try to leave them some. They like the tasty sweets.
All faeries are different. Some like red, some like blue. Some get incredibly offended if you give them lemon loaf cake and will kill your sage. Some do not have genders or pronouns, and will inflict bodily harm if you don’t call them by their names (In case you can’t tell, this is stuff that’s happened to me..). In any case, keep their preferences in mind.
No iron offerings.
No chocolate (generally; if they express interest in chocolate, make sure they can have it and then give it to them. One of the garden faerie is allergic to chocolate but eats it like a lactose intolerant person eats ice cream.)
When in doubt, ask! But be aware, faeries do lie. Like rugs, in fact. They lie by omission usually, but they do it often- the pixie called out the garden faerie about the chocolate allergy. *rage intensifies*
Anyways, that’s all I can think of for now! I’m always open to questions, so drop me an ask!
Absolutely!
When your friend is a pagan witch and you're a christian but it's cool because tolkien is life
@maithewitch that sound about right?
Oracle Cards!
Who doesn’t love a good Oracle Card reading? Everyone loves tarot, but there’s a lot of stuff to remember! With Oracle Cards.... well there’s still stuff to remember, but it’s much easier if you......
Make them! ✨✨
You will need:
Thick paper or cardstock
Paint (optional: glitter paint!!)
Drawing tools
Scissors
Your fucking imagination!
Cut your cards out of the cardstock in any size you want- they just gotta be uniform- and in any number you like.
Now for the fun part: Draw the image, write a message, a bit of both! Use that big, beautiful imagination! Use it!! They can be part of a theme, random, whatever you want.
Paint it, color it, etc. I used glitter paint because why the fuck not? Once you’re happy, turn the card over, and paint the back. They can be uniform or unique (Unique ones you can have people draw blindly or choose one they’re drawn to).
Let the back dry, and bam! Oracle Cards! That you chose the meanings for!
Here’s a few of mine; they’re based on Tolkien’s Valar:
Create some beautiful cards and do some readings!

A collection of ideas on how you may incorporate your comfort item/s into your craft. Be creative, be specific, make it your own! This is just to get some ideas flowing <3
Put small tumbled crystals in with the stuffing.
Make a crystal bracelet/necklace for them.
Make herb/spell sachets (or even a teeny spell bottle) and place inside.
Alternatively, sew on a little pocket and place the sachet/bottle in that!
Enchant to bring comfort/protection.
*Use as a physical tie for wards or spells.
Make little outfits - incorporate color correspondences, stitch sigils in them, add little pockets to hold herbs/crystals, etc.
Similar post (with more/different/specific ideas!) by @will-o-the-witch can be found by clicking here. Definitely check it out!
Stitch a sigil onto a corner (or use fabric paint).
Add a small pouch/pocket (with a flap) for herbs and crystals.
Spritz with an herbal spray.
Enchant to bring comfort/protection.
Color correspondences.
Make your own blanket and infuse magic into the stiches/rows. Be creative with the colors and patterns - how do they tie into what you intend to use the blanket for?
Hold and channel your energy + intention into the item.
*Use as a physical tie for wards/spells.
Draw/stitch/attach sigils.
Attach/include crystals.
Spritz with an herbal spray or attach herbs.
Utilize color correspondences/material correspondences.
Enchant the item itself, or attach something enchanted to it.
Cleansing. If you are using your comfort item to help protect from negative energies, I’d recommend cleansing it frequently!
Charging. How do you charge the magic you’ve added to your item?
Refreshing. With wards, spells, and enchantments, they tend to fade with time. When was the last time you refreshed it?
*Risks. Physical ties for wards can be affected when the ward is attacked/broken. Do you want to risk it? Also realize that there can be multiple layers to wards, you might use your comfort item as a smaller, more specific ward. (I recommend having multiple ward layers).
Have fun! Your comfort item is important to you, so what you do with it magically should feel good–not stressful or overwhelming!
**Do not repost or share on other platforms**
Omg, thank you very much!!
No problem! I enjoy doing these readings!
Same bro honestly. My mum was telling us about that and brought up how one time she thought she twisted her ankle, thought “This is fine,” and went about her day as normal- only for her foot to start swelling up and being told by the ER her foot was broken.
I fucking hate having a high pain tolerance I went to urgent care about my back pain and I was like “idk I tore a muscle or something” no I have a FRACTURED SPINE.
I’m tempted to start a little coffee shop/bookstore and make this like a little part of my logo. And I mean a cross between a coffee shop and bookstore, because nothing is cooler than that.
So a lot of us are out of the broom closet so to speak, but many of have to be careful of being public because of the views of the communities we live in. What I propose is a symbol we can put on flyers or in shop windows that means “You’re safe here.”
I don’t believe that a pentagram would work because it’s got so much stigma attached and it’s really easily identifiable. Ideally, we can find something that is not tradition specific. I don’t know. I just want us to be able to put feelers out into the community without painting a target on ourselves for intolerant jerk faces, and I want witchlings that are seeking guidance to be able to do so in a safe environment. I mean, how badass would it be to find a little symbol of solidarity in your favorite coffee shop or bookstore??
Reblog with suggestions!
I’m just a baby witch, and I don’t do crazy stuff, but if you’re in the closet like me, I hope I can help, even though I mostly reblog.
Hi, everyone! Yes, this is another ‘reblog if…’ but this one comes with a twist. Whilst my own dashboard is definitely dry lately, it’s also becoming increasingly obvious that the witchblr community in general is beginning to become less active. There are lots of reasons, of course, but rather than focus on the issue, I want to focus on a solution.
If you are an active witch blog, divination blog, religious blog, or anything in between that finds themselves here on witchblr, I have two things I want you to do!
Reblog this post and maybe say a little about yourself and your blog. But, also tag/mention blogs that you think are really wonderful and active! Again, I want this to branch out to many different kinds of bloggers. New witches, seasoned witches, brujas, european witches, root workers, hoodoo practitioners, you name it. This community is about diversity and personal pathways. It’s time to big each other up.
My humble recommendations are: @thepastelpriestess @powerpriestess @shadow-of-wings @will-o-the-witch @nightshadeandroses @witches-ofcolor @ener-chi @luna-di-fuoco @mercury-minded @urbanspellcraft @upthewitchypunx @hermeticimp @divineclecticism @themagickcat @themanicnami @underworldpriestess @ancestralmedicinemagic @she-who-treads-on-water @shintowitchling and probably even more amazing practitioners I have forgotten. Each of these people are so knowledgeable and kind, and often give to our little online community here. I love reading/seeing their content and I know you will too.
Not just this month, every month, but I do want to maybe try to encourage February to be a really good month for sharing and creation. It doesn’t have to be a long post, it doesn’t even have to have a theme. Just share. Tell people what you’ve been up to, or explain a personal revelation you’ve had. Ask for tips on a spell you’re working on. One thing we’ve lost on witchblr is a sense of personal identities, probably after months of silly discourse making people shy away. But here’s the thing… Witchcraft is personal.
If anyone more media savvy has any great ideas for this, please add on. All I can think is to share, and maybe ask some interesting questions to blogs you admire! I don’t mean the usual stuff, but maybe ask ‘What is something you always put into your spells?’ or ‘What’s your personal take on how magic works?’ - something which is interesting and allows us all to find our places again.
I am really interested in seeing what we all end up making or writing, so if you want to share some personal ideas, or find others wanting to create a more active witchblr again, we can use the tag #WakingWitchblr. Talk about your blog on it, write ‘reblog if’ posts to find likewise people, ask an interesting questions. Let’s just… Be again, people!
Much love, stay blessed. ✨
• Mai • They/them • 18 • A safe space for witches who are in the same boat I was, not super long ago. Divination, plants, and faeries are my specialties!
