Drawing Sigils: My Way

Dedicated to the anon who asked, thank you~ <3

 My sigils are basically just a variant of the Witch’s Sigil Wheel. I’ve just added my own flare to it. If you don’t know what that is, it’s this thing, you kind find pictures of it on google pretty easy.

The first thing you’re gonna want to do is come up with your phrase. This will set the sigils intention. We’re gonna use the phrase “The Earth keeps me safe” for this example. Once you’ve got that figured out, pick out the words that are most important to you. We’re going to use “Earth” and “Safe” as our keywords.

(note: traditionally letters that are doubled are taken out, and only single appearing letters make the points.)

Next thing you’re gonna do, is draw lines from one letter to the next. You’ll be making separate lines for each word. Feel free to curve some of these lines, but i think it looks like a mountain or a crystal so we’re gonna keep it c:

And then the next word.

This is really starting to look like a crystal in my eyes! Now it’s time to add some flare. One thing I like to do is add circles around letters that have multiple points on them. And I add crossing lines to any other line that doesn’t have an angle or connection.

To really long lines, I like to add another line parallel to it.

The last part, make it personal! Add some sort of your own flare to it.

I played around with the crystal idea that I was getting, and added things to make it look sparkling and an arrow in the middle to represent protection. 

Lastly I like to keep my sigils in circles, but feel free to skip this step and call it done! Here’s what I came up with!

If you make one, please reblog with a picture! I’d love to see ^u^ Hopefully this helps.

Saying Hello to the Dragon.

For anyone in Canada, this ID card is fake.  This was made by the anti-mask group called hugs over masks. 

If you have a business that does online purchases or curbside pickup, and someone demands you let them in while holding this card, you do have the right to refuse them to come into your workplace, and you can advise them to purchase online or make an appointment for curbside pickup.

You DO NOT need to allow them entry into your business, only provide an accommodated service instead such as delivery, curbside pickup, performing the shopping for them, etc. to avoid any prosecution under the Disabilities Act. 

This has been a Public Safety announcement

Alternatives to Burning Sage for Cleansing

When you think of cleansing, the first method usually thought of is burning sage. But sometimes that’s not possible.

Reasons Why Burning Sage Might Not Be Your Method of Cleansing:

Your building/parents/dorm prohibits burning anything

There’s little to no ventilation where you would be cleansing

You or someone you live with has lungs that are compromised (asthma,bronchitis,weak lungs, etc.)

You or someone you live with has a smoke allergy

You live with pets/animals and have no place to safely place them while you are burning sage. 

You are scared of starting a fire

You do not have access/can afford to buy to ethically bought/sold sage. It is always better to buy cleansing sage, especially white sage from Native Americans.

You dislike the smell

Whatever your reason, it isn’t less effective to cleanse via other means. One isn’t more powerful than the other. It’s all about your focus, energy, and intent.

Here are some other methods of cleansing:

Use sea salt to cleanse (Be mindful of bugs/animals/environment when using this method)

Use holy water (Creation methods vary)

Use a bell and chime in areas to get rid of bad energy 

Use your voice/singing 

Using a broom and visualization to “sweep” the bad energy away (This is the origination of the myth that witches fly on broomsticks)

Burning white candles

Feel free to add your own alternative methods of cleansing!

This. Scene. Right. Here.

This scene is so underrated. We’ve just met Jaskier in this episode, but within minutes we find out that this bard is confident and well educated. As he and Geralt are trekking through the land looking for the Devil of Posada, we hear Jaskier say a line that’s seemingly unimportant, just more of his ramblings. He says “The elves called this Dol Blathanna before bequeathing it to the humans and retreating to their golden palaces in the mountains. There I go again, just…delivering exposition.” This is information that he prides himself in knowing, most likely taught to him during his time in Oxenfurt. He can even speak Elder, not a common trait for humans. Oxenfurt taught him their language, but the information they gave him is wrong. It’s the teaching of humans, not the truth.  The scene above is the exact moment that Jaskier realizes everything he knew about the elves was wrong. Filavandrel tells Jaskier and Geralt that they were forced from their homes and starving, forced to ask a sylvan to steal for them for survival. Jaskier learns that it was humans that forced the elves into unlivable conditions. Everything was stolen from them, their land, their magic, their lives. 

And I think this was the exact moment that Jaskier chose to follow Geralt. Not because of the stories he would learn and could sing, not because Geralt was good for exposure and protection, but because Jaskier had just learned that elves, witchers, and creatures alike were never the real monsters. 

Humans were the real monsters all along. 

And if what humans said made people like Geralt a monster, he would rather choose to follow a monster Every. Single. Time.
