Okay going through my asks box and just seeing this attitude of ignorance and entitlement to Hoodoo by white people and nonblack poc on tumblr and other platforms in general I just wanted to make something very clear.
It is not “gatekeeping” when black people say that white people and other nonblack POC CANNOT practice Hoodoo.
Hoodoo was made by SLAVES!
In order to practice Hoodoo you have to contact the spirits of SLAVES and AFRICAN AMERICAN ANCESTORS!
Hoodoo was built on the blood, sweat, and tears of ENSLAVED AFRICAN WOMEN AND MEN!
WHY WOULD YOU, A NONBLACK PERSON, WANT TO PRACTICE HOODOO?!?!?!?

5 Quick Garden Tips!
Hi everybody! I’ve been seeing so much lately on gardening and plants and figured I’d throw in my 2 cents!
Here are some quick, partially witchy ways to improve your garden!
Moss Agate is your Best Friend
Moss agate is said to be the gardener’s stone- and for good reason as well! In my experience, if a plant isn’t looking so good and youre trying to fix that, put moss agate next to the base of the plant or plant in the soil next to the plant!
Water in the Morning or the Late Afternoon
I’ve found that these generally are the best time to water, since during the middle of the day the water evaporates more or the water gets warmer.
Talk to your Plants!
Plants not only make good company, they also enjoy hearing you talk to them! Encourage them to grow, compliment their leaves or stalks or flowers! Comment on how well they’re doing or ask if they’re okay when you tend to them!
Prune Prune Prune!
The majority of plants I grow, and most I read about, all say that pruning or cutting the plants back will promote new and better growth. Be mindful of wear and what you prune though. For example, an easy way to prune basil is just pull the leaves off. Their leaves are great for herbs in cooking or craft!
Save & Root Cuttings!
Another thing that many plants seem to share in common is the ability to root from cuttings. With basil or mint, you simply cut the plant right below the node (where the leaves grow). Make sure the cutting is around 3 inches long before you make the cut, then place the cutting in a cup of water and set it somewhere that gets sunlight. Usually within 2 to 3 weeks youll have enough roots to plant it in some soil.
I hope these tips help you with your gardens!!! 💚🌿🌱☘💚

•Creativity Spell•
*Rosmary - creativity
*Bayleaf - success
*Rose - self confidence and love
*Chili Pepper Flakes - energy
*Cloves - enhancement
*Yellow Candle - to help break mental blocks
On the bayleaf, write your intention. Make it sure and sound, for example, I wrote “I Am Creative”. Making it more of a strong statement. Break it in your own hand and add it to the grouping. Combine these together, in this case I did not grind them up but mostly mixed them very slightly. Add it to whatever jar/satchel/container you prefer and burn your yellow candle. I am using my candle as a sealant on my jar but you can always burn it to the side or while you create your spell.
This is a spell for you, make it your own. Add something of yourself, add something that calls to you and pulls out your own creativity. This is something special that will speak specifically to you.
Love & light ✨

Reminder
…that no homophobes, transphobes, nazis, aphobes, terfs, or any of the like are EVER allowed here on my blog. This is a safe space and I will NOT tolerate any of the above.
That also goes for people who believe boys and non-binary people cannot be witches.

Tips That Can Save Your Kid’s Life.
THIS IS IMPORTANT
When I was a child, from the time I was about four and could understand things, my mom told me and my brother that we should have a secret word. That way, if we were ever in trouble or felt unsafe and we didn’t want the people around us to know we needed her to come get us, we could let her know. So she let us pick the word and my brother and I chose the phrase “peanut butter cups.” (I’m happy to share the phrase now since both my brother and I are adults now).
I used the phrase twice in my life. Once, I was at a friends house when I eight years old. Her dad got really drunk and was throwing things against the wall. I was really scared and I didn’t want to draw attention to myself on the phone when I called my mom to come get me because I didn’t know if he would get more violent if I asked her to come get me. So I called her and was calm and after a couple minutes I asked “Hey mommy, did you get me those peanut butter cups from the store?” And she said “I’ll be right there.” And she came and got me within minutes.
Second, I was a teenager spending the night at a friends house. Her brother and dad were drinking and they started talking about things that made me uncomfortable - ie: what they liked to do to women. My friend didn’t seem perturbed and said that was normal for them and that I shouldn’t worry. But I was worried because they were really drunk and I was 15 and the only ‘woman’ around that wasn’t related to them. I went in my friends room, told her I needed to call my mom and say goodnight. Before I hung up with her I asked “Next time we go to the store, can we get some peanut butters cups? I’ve been craving them.” And she came and got me, just like that.
Two incidents, one as a young child, one years later as a teen. Don’t discredit this stuff, it fucking works. My brother used it a few times too. Let your child pick the word and no never, ever, ever, ever get mad at them for using it no matter what it is.
DO NOT SCROLL PAST THAT.
Off topic, but very important! I was taught to yell “this is not my mom/dad.” A young kid freaking out in public is likely to be ignored out of embarrassment, but a kid telling you right out that they don’t know who is messing with them? That will turn heads.
