Inside Beauty, daily render i did by Nalyk1010
Magic is an inherently mysterious thing but there is a strange logic to its nature. Describing said nature is a difficult thing. How does one describe something that can never truly be known?
The answer for most of history? poorly. Practitioners of the arcane arts are not known for straightforward explanations. I will do my best to explain the basic mechanics:
The Law of Contagion: Once together, always together. The part of the thing is the whole of the thing. By performing magic on a strand of your hair, one can effect your entire body. The more intimate the connection, the more powerful the effect. A cigarette butt you smoked will have almost no effect, but a phial of your blood will be extremely effective. Magic using this law is known as Thaumaturgy.
The Law of Sympathy: Like attracts like. The image is the thing. A drawing or representation of something can gain its properties. A photo or drawing of you will have a similar thaumaturgical connection to you. Combining sympathy and contagion is the basis for poppet magic.
The Law of Correspondence: As Above, So Below. The gods are like us and we are like them. When viewed closely, atoms resemble solar systems. The big effects the small. The idea that there is a sort of harmony between similar patterns no matter their size. This is the basis behind astrological magic.
The Law of Resistance: Some things are more magically conductive than other things. Everything exists on a spectrum of “magical“ to “mundane“ and the less magic something is, the harder it is to effect with magic. The same extends to people who, for whatever the reason, simply have a harder time being interacting with magic.
The Law of Balance: Magic seeks equilibrium, and therefore, every magical action has a cost. No magical act takes place without some sort of power behind it. Energy will not move unless something is moving it, be it a practitioner or the natural energy of the moon. A body in motion will stay in motion, a body at rest will stay at rest unless acted upon by an outside force.
The Law of Reciprocity: If you don’t know where its pointed, its pointed at you. If it doesn’t have enough energy, it will get get energy from you. The process of getting hit with your own improperly constructed spell is known as Recoil. Safe practice often involves setting up wards to act as a barrier between you and any mistakes.
The Law of Reversal: That which is done by magic can be undone by magic. For every spell there is a counterspell, for every ritual a counterritual. Every ward can be hexed, every curse can be dispelled. This does not mean countermeasure will be easy or efficient.
Just because I'm up thinking at 3:33am
Yes!!!!! My soul is fae light and I’ve learned how my space has become a “safe space” for many fair folk!!! I absolutely love them!
I love working with the fae so much. Are they dangerous? Absolutely. Is it worth the risk? 100%. I adore the fair folk that I work with and have formed an unbreakable bond with them. They mean the world to me.
I need help asap. Me and my partners bank made an announcement they won't give us our stimulus money until at least Wednesday.
Which is gonna totally screw me over. My bank account is overdrawn by 195$. We need to pick up my insulin, I am almost totally out. And I will be out by Wednesday so if I don't get paid that day I'm fucked and food for the rest of the month..we are also behind on rent for a couple of months. so we can't afford to lose any of our stimulus checks to overdraft fees.
If you can help in any way. Ten dollars or even juts reblogging this you'd be a life saver and we would be totally grateful to you forever
