This is the divination infographic that I recently illustrated for my Editorial Illustration class! We were free to choose our own topics, so of course I chose something magic related. I wanna continue making these, so hit me up with some topic suggestions that you’d like to see! Please do not repost elsewhere without credit ♡
I made myself a flower crown today and I wanted to share it with you all. Flower Crowns are really awesome, and everyone deserves one.
I used the Weaving method, detailed below in the link provided! Here's a visual guide as well, if you're a visual learner like myself.
Hey there Witchlings, today I want to share with you what I used for my protection spray! Remember, you can always substitute, add, or remove any ingredients that you want! You do not need to follow spells to the T, you can make them your own!
A spray bottle
Water
Cedar
Garden Sage
Dandelion
Fill your spray bottle with water.
Add your herbs
Make sure your bottle is tightly sealed and then shake that motherfucker up
Spray as needed until you feel safe.
Cedar, Garden Sage, and Dandelion are all typically associated with protection!
I hope that you've found this to be useful :)

VIETNAM HAS MOSS FROGS.
THEY LIVE IN MOSS.
THEY ARE CUTE AS FUCK!
Thank you for coming to my ted talk. Now lets go live the way of the moss frog.
Dear Diana, i'm really interested in astrology and astronomy, but i've only recently started my way so i don't really know how to make my birth chart myself. Different websites tell me different rising and moon signs. I was wondering maybe you know any trustworthy natal chart websites? Thank you 😌
Astro-charts
Neat look and feel. Shows your aspect patterns, the moon phase when you were born, your dominant aspect and so much more. Makes it easy to switch between different astrological systems.
Café Astrology
Look and feel is quite outdated. But it provides a wealth of information. Great for beginners, as it explains every single part of your chart. Allows you to really dive in to each of your placements.
Co-Star
Requires you to download the app. It shows you an easy to understand table that illustrates your planet placements. Includes short and sweet explanations of your chart’s major components.
"80s songs on the radio,
Dancing like nobody's home"
Seen a few of these posts so I figured I'd share as well! I use these for reference mostly, and personally prefer to do my practice irl. All are free!
Labyrinthos- this is a tarot app mostly, though it also has some astronomy info. I wouldn't recommend it if you're just starting with tarot, because the descriptions are over simplified and lacking. It does have a "learn" feature that can help you memorize/learn the basics though and for that it's pretty good! I use this to save tarot spread layouts that I use with my cards irl. It let's you create your own custom spreads and save them.
Co-Star- an astronomy/horoscope app. I love it because it does your birth chart for you in an easy to understand format and you can go back and reference it quick if you need it! But the descriptions of what everything in the chart means is also lacking and waay oversimplified here too, and none of the "aspects" are included. It'll do "daily horoscopes" but it won't have info on why/how it concluded that information based on your birth chart.
Moon phase calendar- a must for me! Always gotta know what the moon is doin. It has a lot of detail, including the percentage of visibility and rise/set times.
Make it rain- rain/thunderstorm sounds for meditation and practice
PictureThis- this is my favorite free plant identification app, and I'm pretty picky lol
Herbs dictionary- this is purely scientific information on an insane number of herbs, with medical uses as well. No magical uses listed. Again, this is for quick reference!!. If I'M personally using an herb for medicinal purposes it's because I'm familiar with it and know which are safe for me, don't just use whatever random herb some phone app says may help... Be safe.
Herbalist Grimoire- I think this one has about 70 herbs? And their magical correspondences. I love it for quick reference! It also explains how to use herbs (like making tinctures, oils, satchets, etc), a glossary of medical terms related to herbs, basics on how to grow herbs, and a brief history of herbs in witchcraft.
LunaDiary- a password protected night-mode diary with adjustable font and formatting and calming music. I use it for note taking, spells, ideas, some of which later goes into my grimoire. It has a back-up feature that uploads it to my Google drive. Plus the more notes you make, the more lunar phases and stars you get in the home page, so that's cute.
The occult library- exactly what it sounds like, it's got different witchcraft related books you can read for free.
Play Books- the basic Google play book app, I go to the android play store and download free books of interest related to my craft and philosophies I follow and read them here.
Improve intuition (called "intuition test" in the playstore for some reason tho)- this one has several choice-related activities that challenge your intuition skills! Big recommend.
Respire- a meditation app with different breathing exercises. I'm not a fan of hearing someone talk me through a guided meditation, so following a breathing exercise works much better for me. You can close your eyes and it'll make a ding sound to let you know when to breathe in, hold, and breathe out.
Down dog- an AMAZING free yoga app! It has restorative yoga, hatha, quick flow, and sun salutations in the free version. With different music genre to choose from that plays what seems like a genre radio. You can adjust the difficulty level, speed, and length. The instructors are great at guiding and the video to follow is aesthetically nice and it's all very easy to understand. Truly can't recommend this one enough.
I'm hoping to find an app that has a sheet to fill out for saving spells, like it would be great if it has the day/time, lunar phase, title, intent, tools, instructions, and outcomes to fill out. If you know of one, please let me know!

The word was created by the controversial occultist Alister Crowley (1875-1947) who founded the religion Thelema which later became known as Wicca.
One reason he added a ‘k’ was to separate between entertainment magic and witchcraft magick.
Many thing the distinction isn’t necessary but there are other reasons Crowley did this.
Crowley’s philosophy of Thelema meant that he also used the word magick to describe any act that brings someone closer to what he called their ‘True Will’; their purpose in life.
Will is different than want
I can make a post about Crowley and True Will in the future
EDIT: I have made a post about True Will, just click the link.
In 1886 (about 11 years from 1875) Crowley’s father, a devout Christian and preacher, passed. Crowley, a formerly devoted follower of Christianity out of respect for his father, began to turn his back on the Christian religion, pointing out irregularities in the Bible. His mother, also a Christian, because of this called him “The Beast.”
When Crowley created the word ‘magick’ he lengthened a five letter word to six letters, the number six being sacred in many beliefs. Interestingly, according to Genesis, God created man on the 6th day. In the Bible, Revelation 13:18, God assigned the number 666 to man and to the Beast.
Revelation 13:18
“Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.”
The letter K is also the 11th number of the alphabet. This number has huge significance to Crowley and he often wrote about its importance: “Firstly”, 11 is the number of Magick in itself” along with his well-known phrase “Do What Thou Wilt Shall Be The Whole Of The Law” which has eleven words and eleven syllables.
Some people refrain from using ‘magick’ due to Crowleys reputation and the several stories surrounding his life, others use ‘magik’ or ‘majick’ or variations of said word. But there is no right or wrong here and you can use ‘magick’ or not, it’s all up to the witch at hand. I just use it to differentiate magick and magic.
