Guys. I just realized that Lilo is putting a curse on her friends. But like, an actual curse. Vinegar is commonly used in curses, and pickles have vinegar. And then she has little figures of her “friends”, drawn with expressions. Then putting them in the pickle jar, and shaking it. Another sign of a curse. I don’t know why I just noticed this now, but lilo is a witch.

I bet she’s a sea witch.

Un-funk Yourself Charm

You’re in a rut. For some reason nothing has been going your way and you know your life needs a swift kick in the butt to get it back in gear. Try this powerful and energizing charm!

Materials:

Rose buds - for self-love and positive relationships with others

Sunstone - helps empower those who feel persecuted or abandoned by others, instilling confidence and optimism and encouraging motivation and positive action.  Sunstone is also useful in removing energy-draining ties to you or “hooks” into your energy by other people.  

Lemon rind - a lemon zinger to pump this charm full of enough energy to send your funk out the window

Lavender - this allows you to be gentle on yourself. It’s not you’re fault you’re in this funk. Lavender provides a great gentle energy. 

Myrrh Incense (loose) - purifies the area and lifts your vibration to pull you out of whatever vibration you’re currently stuck in

White drawstring bag - this color will help you see the truth, shows you the ‘light’

Steps:

Center and ground yourself. Cleanse and gather all materials. This work should be done at your altar preferably. 

Light Myrrh incense. Take a second to let the smoke flow over you. 

Combine all ingredients into the white drawstring bag. 

Tie up the bag with 3 knots. With each knot focus on what needs to improve. Something is holding you back right now and the sooner you pinpoint it, the sooner you can conquer it. 

Carry this charm with you for as long as you feel like you need it.

Blood salt

What is blood salt? Blood salt is a salt used to negate magick. Think of it as a nullifying substance. If you need to halt a spell or break a working done on you blood salt is what I use. I came up with this recipe when thinking of a substitute of black salt that had anti-faery capabilities (we don’t all get along with the wee folk of the Glen or whatever) so first and foremost this is an anti bad spirit and fae substance.

Why is it called blood salt?

Because it contains iron. The most famous anti magic substance known to folklore and that fun element that turns your blood a red color (hence the name “blood” salt). Iron has been used for centuries in Europe against evil spirits and fae, due to the fact it seems to repel or on some accounts hurt faery and spirits that come into contact with it.

How do I make it?

It’s a very simple recipe, much like black salt which is salt and charcoal. This one is salt and iron. Iron is actually very simple to obtain. I used crushed chelated iron which you can find in most vitamin stores and aisles. However if you can get a hold on some good old FeO2 (iron oxide) or rust that’s even better. Don’t be afraid of making it your own and adding other ingredients that you feel would be useful in this mixture to you.

One caveat DO NOT ADD YOUR BLOOD OR ANY REAL BLOOD TO BLOOD SALT. I know is said earlier that iron is what makes your blood red. However it is not a good substance to use as a source of iron as its also what we would call a taglock, personal effect, or power item. By adding your essence to the mix it could be like offering it to spirits and fae, and you really don’t want either to have power over you. It’s like giving your real name or eating what is offered. Blood is also used commonly as an offering to feed spirits, so it’s kind of like tossing loaded guns to the psycho killer that’s chasing you through the woods. Just use good judgement here and practice safe casting.

A conversation I had with an atheist friend:

Them: “So, you believe in a mighty sky wizard?  You?”

Me: “No.”

Them: “Oh, good. I-”

Me: “I believe in a trickster sea wizard, a poetic blacksmith goddess, a trio of bloodied, prophetesses and a highly skilled, porridge-loving, well endowed god.”

Them: “…alright then.”

Me: “They say hi.”
