so apparently some people feel like it’s annoying when someone engages with a lot of stuff from the same person, like going through their ship tag and liking all the content there. 

hearing about this, i was immediately paranoid about reblogging literally anything from anyone i don’t talk to on a regular basis.

so to save others from the same paranoia, i’m gonna say that if you like every single post on my goddamn blog it is okay. i might be kind of concerned about your level of time management, going through 23,000 posts, but it wouldn’t bother me. 

I’ve had people discover my blog and do this, and honestly I consider it a huge compliment. Don’t be shy, blow up my notes, enjoy my total bullshit.

Please engage with me I need the attention

Me last night with that barbie blog…

Who the hell cares if some people think it’s annoying, anyway? Fuck ‘em. Like and Reblog whatever you want.

yall: this celebrity did a bad thing

me: it be like that sometimes 

ok this post canceled due to recent events…I was talkin about some 26 year old pop star calling things “gay” in 2007 not a 50 year old hollywood producer who’s been actively pursuing 14 year old girls since 1976

a very important distinction. it’s one thing to fuck up, as all of us are apt to do, and it’s another thing entirely to be an abusive piece of shit with a history of sexual harassment.

Exactly.

And online culture frustratingly does not seem to understand that.  Everything is An Outrage nowadays. The 26 pop star calling something “gay” isn’t ideal sure, but it’s not exactly on the same level of decades of sexual abuse, you know?  Like, the response to the first is “hey, maybe you shouldn’t be doing that” and the second is “you belong in jail.”

school tin

weathers-a-bitch:

i’m still a student, and i find that there is a lot of negativity at school (from both yourself and other people). so i made a protective spell tin to help protect myself from it all✨

what you will need 

- a small tin (like an altoids box. a small jar works as well, whatever is easiest for you!)

-rosemary 

-fern 

-salt 

-cinnamon 

-crystals/rocks that have properties you need, or even just your favorite. i used aveurtine, rose quartz, clear quartz, and tiger’s eye (be careful with tiger’s eye as it is a form of asbestos, and if it gets chipped, throw it away asap)

-a sigil that says “i am protected from negative energy” for this, i’d recommend making your own in order to feel more connected to it

step one - is draw the sigil on paper. charge it with your intentions. place it in the box first, creating a layer between the metal and the contents

step two - place the crystals in the tin (if you want you could cleanse them before you do this)

step three - add the herbs 

step four - add the salt and cinnamon. while sprinkling them on, i visualized that they were glowing bright, white light, that would protect me from any negativity

after that, close the tin and hold it close. visualize whatever color that makes you feel safest/happiest as a light, flowing from your chest, through your arms and reaching your hands. send that colorful light into the tin, while thinking of your intentions for the tin and its contents.

i placed mine in a windowsill to charge with some moon energy as well. if you connect more with the sun, feel free charge it with sun energy🌞. and if you fancy, do both! or none! whatever feels right with you

sending positive energy your way~

“Adult” content of Tumblr helped me heal and learn how to love and express myself again after abusive relationships and sexual assault. This website was my solace, as a witch, a member of the LGBT+ community, and as a survivor learning to love herself. These new guidelines are harmful and wrong, and could be handled so much more effectively rather than sweeping the entire website.

@staff so I can still view #tweakernation and watch a bunch of meth heads use illegal drugs, and I can still see images of people who have cut themselves and are glorifying self harm/and self destruction, but heaven forbid someone post a nipple or an ass. Things that every human being has.

What Makes a Reading Good?

Alternate title: How Can I Be Confident My Readings Don’t Suck?

This is mostly written with tarot in mind, but I think the sentiment can apply to any type of in-depth divination or metaphysical readings. Here’s some things to look for in readings, and if you are charging a set price for your own readings, things to demand from yourself. 

The information provided in a reading should be…

  • Relevant to the querents’ needs. If somebody comes to you asking about a specific question or topic, the reading should be designed to reflect that. This may mean using a different spread or focusing on details of meaning more relevant to the question than the traditional baseline meaning. (Example, if a querent is asking about money and I’m picking up signs of a new romantic relationship coming soon, it shouldn’t turn into a love reading. Rather, how might entering a new relationship affect ones’ finances?)
  • Abundant. Anybody can go online and find a random tarot card picker with a general description or some key words. If you’re providing a compensated service, your interpretation should have more meat than that. Allow yourself to explain your thought process or speculate on a deeper meaning, instead of regurgitating key words. After all, that speculation and personal insight is what they’re paying you for, otherwise they’d just find the bot! (For reference, I’m trying to give each of these points about the same amount of depth I would want to see in a really good tarot reading for each card.)
  • Nuanced. A lot of us are afraid to get into the details and specifics of an answer because we’re afraid of being wrong, so we just stick to being vague. Throw that out the window. Right now. Being specific HELPS your reading be more accurate, believable, and helpful, because if we’re too conservative with our details it gives the querent nothing to grab onto. Go for the specifics, the details, the things that make the querent say, “okay, I know exactly what that’s talking about.” (Example, what sounds better: “There’s conflict in the future” or “There’s conflict here, my gut says probably butting heads with an authority figure you’ve known for a while. Neither of you is right or wrong, but you’ll just keep wasting your time if you don’t compromise.”)
  • Understandable. Keep in mind that most of your querents will probably not practice the service you’re providing, or if they do they may just be beginners. Don’t shroud your reading in convoluted, arcane talk. If you can, explain some of how you’re getting the answers you getting. That doesn’t mean divulging secrets to your practice, but something like, “These runes are so close together, which to me means they’re working together, and the synthesis of their meanings could mean X.” Really helps a querent feel involved and more confident in your skills as their interpreter. 
  • Applicable. Give the querent knowledge they can walk away with. If you’re doing all of the above steps this is probably happening anyway, but it’s important to keep in mind. You should always be able to answer the question: “What is the best next step for the querent to achieve their goals, once they leave this reading?”  What can they do right now to develop themselves, prepare for success, repair that relationship, etc? Do they have a game plan? Basically, they should be able to take the insight you have provided them with and apply it to their life in a productive way.  

I hope this helps some people assess their own readings, and gives new diviners a better idea of what they should be going for! Did I forget anything important? Let me know your thoughts!
