ever since I learned how to say “thank you” in ancient greek it’s felt so much more FUN and natural to thank the Theoi. In everyday life, in prayer, etc.
From my pieced together knowledge (thank you @piristephes ):
χάριν / χᾰ́ρῐτᾰς - (trans.: KA-rihn pl.: KA-ri-tas)
“Thank you”
χάριν σοι ἔχω / χάριν ὑμῖν ἔχω - (KA-rrihn (Soy / Umin) Eh-hyo)
“I hold (you / you all ) in thanks”
μεγάλην χάριν σοι έχω - (Meh-GA-lehn Ka-rrihn So-ih Eh-hyo)
“Thanks a lot”
"Are you even watching the show?" Yes, sadly, but you clearly aren't!

Wait, how did he help defeat him?
My doctor and therapist: now with this autism + ADHD diagnosis you need to learn to unmask because masking all the time will make you burn out again and feel like shit
Other people: well it's just interesting how after getting the diagnosis you suddenly start behaving like that I mean I'm not saying you're faking it's just funny how you suddenly cannot be normal like you were before
As capitalism sets its sights on the witchcraft community, it’s easy to get caught up in all the stuff that companies try to sell you.
Alas, not all of us have the money to spend on expensive items. If we're being honest, you probably don't need such items to begin with.
For those that are curious, however, let's talk about how to do magic on a budget.
First things first, reframe what you think magic is.
Magic is not what you buy.
It’s not pricey crystals, expensive altar tools, and pretty bottles. As fun as those are, they aren't necessary to practice magic.
All you need to create magic is yourself, your intentions, and your actions.
Still, I said I would talk about how to do magic on a budget, so here are some tips that I have picked up along the way as a broke witch.
Upcycle what you already have into magical tools. Plenty of the stuff you already own can be used for magic. Make a simmer pot in that old cooking pot. Use the kitchen spices as your herbs in spells.
Thrift stores are great for finding cool bottles and boxes to put your herbs and other magical items in. Also great for spell bottles/jars!
You don’t need every herb under the sun, many of the most accessible (and cheapest) herbs have similar, if not the same, correspondences as the expensive ones.
Buy herbs from the grocery store or farmers market, if possible.
If you have a green thumb, grow the herbs yourself!
Tarot cards can be expensive, but you can use a deck of regular playing cards for cartomancy if needed! There are also options such as tarot apps and websites that allow you to use their digital tarot decks for free.
Make your own tarot or oracle deck if you're artistic and have the time/energy to do so!
You don’t need to have an expensive cast-iron cauldron, just find a fire safe bowl or container. For me, I use a handmade bowl that I got at a fair in my hometown! Works like a charm.
The dollar store is a great place to find inexpensive candles, usually they’re tea lights but you might get lucky and even find some chime candles.
If you're working with deities: plenty of them like hand-made items for offerings! So you don’t need to go out and break the bank just to buy an expensive statue.
This is not a post to shame the folks who own expensive things for witchcraft. I’m sure most of us would agree that if we had the money to go all out, we certainly would! This is just a post for those of us that can’t afford costly goods but would still like to have physical items when practicing magic.
Feel free to add your tips for practicing low-cost magic!
Have a lovely day <3

tips for depressed, chronically ill, & disabled littles
it can sometimes be hard to feel little when you spend a lot of time in pain, bedridden, dealing with scary big thoughts, or any of the other things that can accompany mental or physical disabilities so these are things i do to feel small with little effort
ᯓ★ keep soft blankets + stuffies near you
literally what’s smaller than having your soft little comfort plushes with you? this is probably the easiest thing i do that always makes me feel at least a little smaller
ᯓ★ download mobile games for kids
if you aren’t someone who can get up and down off the floor or if you’re in a lot of pain, or if its just a rough day and you want to stay in bed little kid games are good for feeling tiny
ᯓ★ play baby music or soft lullabies
if you’re not feeling up to playing at all and just need to rest lullabies and nursery rhymes are rlly good for helping you rest and helping you feel tiny
ᯓ★ age regression fanfic
this might sound silly by at a little with chronic pain something that genuinely helps me is mood boards, one shots, etc. about my favorite fictional cgs
ᯓ★ think of your ‘lazy’ clothes as baby clothes
toddlers and babies are almost always dressed in comfy soft clothes so if you’re always in your soft sweatpants or cozy pjs to alleviate discomfort it’s just like little kids getting dressed in their soft little clothes
ᯓ★ middle regression is always an option
if you’re worried about regressing because you have to take care of yourself (ex. handle a walking aid, medicine, etc.) middle regression is super accessible because you can be regressed and do a lot of the things big you can already do
middle regression can also entail less rambunctious/active play (videos games, reading, coloring, etc.)
ᯓ★ audio books
if you look up ‘audio kids books’ or some form of that on youtube you can find kids stories read aloud! its something super fun that can make you feel small and you can do it anywhere at anytime.
ᯓ★ calming kids activities
there are a whole bunch of websites that have ‘calm down’ activities for when kids are winding down from rambunctious play and i use those a lot (playing with play dough, sensory toys, singing abcs/nursery rhyme games)
ᯓ★ remember not all regression looks the same
you don’t have to do anything to be small or to be valid as a regressor, regression looks different for everyone. there are ppl who regress and watch horror movies or ppl who regress while doing big kid things like going to the store or to school. your disability, no matter what form it comes in, does not invalidate your regression.
these are some of the things that i do, feel free to add more if you’re a little with disabilities, ily!!!!

my favorite thing is to say "investing in" instead of "buying"
— Aphrodite is iridescence, like the shimmer of pearls and seashells, like glittering jewels in the sea
does it ever happen to you to search why a female celebrity or a female internet personality is so hated by everybody to only find she’s cringe ? and then you search why their male counterparts are so loved to only find rape allegations and other crimes ? ’cause, yeah same. it happens every fucking time.
