Hi! I am starting this personal journal because of my English class. I love to write, and do not take advantage of free writing, and hopefully by doing this I can share the many ideas inside mt brain, my feelings, and the most random shit ever! I wonder if this will ever get like “big”!? That would be extremely cool, and I think it would allow me to meet a ton of new people.
Anyways, I wanted to share that I hung out with a boy that I have been contacting for a little over a year now. It was a genuine interaction was was really nice, and not just a quick hu and never seeing each other again. Like we didnt even kiss till he walked me out- WHICH WAS CUTEEEEEEEE.
Oh, also, my name is Luke! I am a freshman in college, and am a special education and elementary education major! I live my life with confidence, kindness, love, and kicking ass! Where my empaths at?? I love fashion, video games, this beautiful planet, and many many other things!

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.

Your plants are important! They provide you with companionship, protection, and herbs for your spells and charms. Here are some ways to give back to your plants:
🌱 Talk to them! Many people say that talking to your plants helps them to grow stronger. When you exhale, you breathe carbon dioxide onto them, which they use to create oxygen in turn. 🌱 Mix eggshell powder into their soil 🌱 Bring them little gifts to show them you appreciate them! I like to bring my plants little stones and cool twigs I’ve found 🌱 Spend time with them! Meditate near them, write in your grimoire/book of shadows near them, study near them. I like to eat breakfast in my garden, it’s a good way to start the morning. 🌱 Decorate their space! If you have an outdoor garden, you could add painted rocks and sticks to their space. If you keep your plants indoors, you could put little figurines near them, or paint their pots in pretty colors. 🌱 Name them, if you haven’t already! 🌱 Draw your plants! You could make a page for them in your grimoire if you like, or just do some non-witchy art 🌱 Include them in your craft! Put them in your circles when you cast (especially if they have a correspondence that could be helpful, like protection), use them as inspiration for spells, put your crystals near them to charge in the sunlight, draw sigils on their pots or in the earth you plant them in. There are loads of other ways to include them that I haven’t mentioned, just bond with them! 🌱 Possibly most importantly, thank them for all they do. Plants are protectors of the home, and of you. Thank them for looking after you, thank them for the herbs you take from them, and thank them for being your companions.
