A brief masterpost of some of my advice posts for beginner witches and the episodes of my podcast dealing with the same. (There is UPG here, particularly where marked, as I base a good deal of my advice on my own experience and observations of other witches.)
If you're enjoying my content, please feel free to drop a little something in the tip jar or check out my published works on Amazon or in the Willow Wings Witch Shop. 😊

Shadow Work is a practice of looking towards your own darkest sides you desire not to look at. Shadow work is embracing your dark sides and growing with it.
The creator of this concept of psychology is author and psychologist Carl Jung, who found being authentic with answers towards self discovery based questions had fantastic results.
Today, various witches and practitioners alike enjoy this art form, but it is highly recommended to do so moderately with a good support system, as it is very heavy treatment and can damage your mental health in excess.
Friendly reminder to my anxious animist witches that while the tools and accoutrements of your craft may have an energetic signature that resonates with your intuition, and while you might personify them in your own perception, they are not sentient and they are not angry with you.
If you are experiencing feelings of guilt or anxiety connected to your pendulum, cards, wand, etc, that's coming from your own worry or an imagined sense of inadequacy, not animosity from the items themselves. If you feel like your tools aren't working properly, it's because there's some internal or external factor affecting your ability to focus, not because the objects are somehow refusing to work.
Please know that you are always enough and that your tools are extensions of yourself, rather than independently intelligent entities that might randomly decide to thwart you. If something doesn't work, it does not mean that you suck and everything is against you. It just means try again later. 💜

she is casting a little spell :-)
So a few years ago one of my coworkers introduced me to a Halloween Tradition she did with her kiddo called “The Switch Witch” where kiddos leave out a few pieces of the Switch Witch’s favorite candies (YMMV ;D ) and in return the Switch Witch comes and replaces the candies the next day with a little toy or treat.
I got to finally do it with my kiddo this year and wanted to share the tradition with you guys as well~♥ So remember to leave some candy out for The Switch Witch tonight and you might get a treat ;)
Happy Halloween my darlings~ may you have a wonderfully spooky night ;)
As a POC, as a Black person - this deck was a long time coming. It’s been brewing for almost a year as it held so much importance for me, so I wanted the research to be just right. Lack of representation is and always has been a societal and structural issue that does a deep and scarring damage, and I hope to make a ripple in that, even if it’s little, with this deck.
Black is art, Black is in art and it’ll continue to be, even if people try to stop it and erase it.
The deck, with 22 cards also comes with a PDF booklet with 25 pages where the Art info and why it was choosen is informed (all public domain) – it costs $8.88 USD and is available at my Etsy Shop • NoweyeseeStore

dandelions deserve more respect than they get
you say “weeds” I say “widespread non-native edible plant and early-blooming pollinator resource that is not considered invasive because it behaves politely and does not cause deleterious ecological consequences”
The state of my room is extremely important to me. It’s a direct reflection of my mental health, so when it’s messy, my energy levels are low and I just feel yucky. There’s no way I’m getting any kind of work done, magical or mundane. When it feels good and clean to be in, it’s a lot easier to deal with my symptoms and be productive. You don’t have to do every step every time of course, but each step has helped me so I figured a list like this might help someone.
You don’t have to do the same spells as everyone else. You don’t have to have the same ingredients as everyone else. You don’t have to practice like everyone else.
You can make use of what is in your cabinets. Eggshells, nutmeg, syrup, apples, liquor, vanilla.
You can make use of what is in your environment. Flowers, leaves, roots, seashells, carcasses.
You can make use of the heavens. The sun, the moon, the planets, the constellations.
You can make use of the spirits. Angels, ghosts, demons, gods, fae, lands.
You can make use of yourself. Sing, dance, scream, whisper, remain still, dress up, abandon your clothes, dream, stay alert, leave your body, find your creatures.
You can make use of your hands. Potions, infusions, tinctures, oils, incenses, washes, wines, idols, knives.
You can do magic. Craft poppets, carve names into apples, dress candles with blood, pray over talismans, bury witch bottles, create beasts, invoke, evoke, spit curses and blessings, listen to spirits, burn things, reverse them, consecrate them, break them, carve them, paint them, feed them, instruct them, make them rot, bring them alive, sacrifice them.
Your craft is what you make of it, not what is popular.
