CLEANSING 101

WHAT IS IT?

the act of removing unwanted energies from a person/place/object.

Cleansing is generally a gentle form of removal, (as opposed to Banishing, read more about that HERE)

Instead of forcefully ejecting an influence or spirit, you simply remove the bonds that hold the energy in place and transmute that energy into something neutral.

WHY TO DO IT

This process is useful for ensuring that you, or the things near you are clear of energies that could negatively impact you.

It’s useful for creating a blank slate in your environment or preparing tools for spell work and keeping your energy stable and healthy.

WHEN TO DO IT

Many witches like to cleanse their homes regularly, as well as cleansing new objects being brought into the home. Cleansing has a plethora of uses and is one of the foundational skills every witch should possess.

Your transcript is nice, why were you nervous?

does Loki count as a chthonic god? because I've been burning incense for him as an offering, but I've read it somewhere (I can't remember where) that incense isn't a good offering for chthonic gods. what are your thoughts on the topic?

These take me forever to write up so have an audio clip of me prattling instead:

What's the difference between American red foxes and English ones (appearance wise, I guess)? What's the best/easiest way to tell them apart? They look really similar to me!

The most obvious difference is in the fur. European red foxes (Vulpes vulpes crucigera) have fairly short, stiff and densely packed guard hairs that are designed to protect them from wet weather. American red foxes (Vulpes fulva) have much longer, finer guard hairs, giving them that classic soft and fluffy look. Their fur is designed to keep them warm and protect them from the snow.

European foxes on the top/left, American on the bottom/right

American foxes also have much fluffier tails than European ones, often with rounded tail tips, while European foxes often have tails that taper to a point. 

Another way to tell is the colour. Putting aside colour morphs, normal red coloured European foxes have a lot of different colours and tones mixed into the coat. Some can be fairly solid, but a lot have varying shades of red, yellow, brown, grey and black. Frosting, the silver guard hairs over the hindquarters, (and sometimes forequarters and face), and usually more prominent on European foxes.  American foxes tend to be fairly solid in colour and don't have a lot of different colours mixed into the coat. The shade of red can vary depending on the subspecies, but the overall the colour will be pretty even.

As for colour morphs, the cross morph is only found naturally in American red foxes. There are a few regions in Scandinavia, Russia and Hokkaido, Japan where cross foxes can be found but those are all the result of farmed American foxes being released or escaping and breeding with native foxes. In the UK you will never see a wild fox with this cross colouring

In Europe the equivalent of a cross fox is the smokey or coal morph. They vary from a yellowish colour through to a dark brown with a lot of black and grey in the coat. Throat and belly may be white, dark grey or black, or a mix of all three and they lack the black faces of a cross.

Silver foxes do exist in Europe but they are exceptionally rare, and usually referred to as black foxes. They are often darker than American silvers with less silver hairs, although American silvers can very a lot in darkness.

Although this can vary a lot by region/subspecies and even individual, European reds tend to have quite blunt, rounded facial features. American reds tend to have sharper features, such as pointier muzzles and ears. American foxes are also smaller than European ones, but this is hard to tell from photos alone. 

American red foxes also have longer legs than European foxes. This is most obvious when they’re in their short summer coat. European foxes also tend to have less black on the legs than American foxes.

Thank you but…

What did the 0 say to the ten?

Thanks for reading my joke.

“Touch grass” they said. “It’d be good for you” they said.

Sing this in the “all around me are familiar faces” song’s tune. I don’t remember what it’s called. All around me are fucking bigots. Racist bigots, ableist bigots, queerphobic bigots.

I get that they’re jokingly walking up to me, an Asian, and saying “asian people have weird eyes” then proceeding to pull the side of your eyes to to make it longer is just rude.

Holocaust jokes made infront of jews, queerphobic jokes infront of queers, ableist jokes infront of disabled folk. They’re not ok.

They’re not even one of the people they’re making jokes about, so they’re just making fun of communities that already deal with enough shit. They shouldn’t be allowed to get away with that.

Also, saying that you’ll “catch autism” from autistic people isn’t funny

Protection

Within witchcraft, protection is essential in spells. From protecting you from negative entities to protecting you from hexes, curses and jinxes, protection is a great way to keep you safe in your craft!

There are multiple types of protection here which are gonna be covered each and these are as follows; jars, warding, crystals, colours, plants, amulets, talismans, witches ladders, herbs etc.

Jars: Spell jars are a simple and quick way to get a spell done. They require a jar, herbs, a petition paper, and some way to seal the jar (usually candlewax). Heres a recipe for a jar!

Herbs: Rosemary, Sage, Lavender, Salt or black salt, thyme, apple plus a petition paper for stating the intention of protection. Place these into the jar and seal with black candle wax or with any preferred way of sealing.

Warding: Warding probably deserves it's own post but I'll add a few ways to ward and go into more detail in a separate post. Warding is a form of defensive magick which keeps any form negative energy out unless they break. Here are some ways to ward!

Crystals: place crystals above your entry ways and windows to keep negative energy out. Crystal's can also be worn as jewellery or kept upon your person as a personal ward. Scroll down for some examples.

Talismans: Talismans such as the Nazar can be added to your home to ward off the "evil eye". You can also create your own talismans to place around your home.

Salt: Salt can be placed above entry ways and windows in a similar way to crystals to keep the negativity out. Salt can also be used for banishing and cleansing.

Crystals for protection: clear quartz, obsidian, smokey quartz, black tourmaline, amethyst, labradorite, phrenite, onyx, hematite, tigers eye. (This isnt an exhaustive list, theres plenty of protection crystals out there that arent on this little list).

Protective herbs: garden sage, lavender, lemon balm, rosemary, black pepper, mugwort, belladonna, lemon, parsley, thyme, mistletoe, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, allspice. (Again, not an exhaustive list, theres thousands of protective herbs and plants out there).

Protection is an important part of any witches practice. It keeps you safe from negative attachments, baneful magick, psychic or spiritual attack etc. Not all witches will use the same methods of protection as it differs from practice to practice. But this is just a little thing to get you started on your research into protection.
