#witchy asks
Hello please reblog this if you’re okay with people sending you random asks to get to know you better
:)
BLOGANNOUNCEMENT
I’m thinking of drafting up a master post with some FAQ on spellcraft.
I get a lot of messages and asks everyday which I LOVE but sometimes it’s hard to keep up and repeat the same answer, so I wanted to create a place that maybe could host those FAQ to help make those answers more accessible constantly insted of just when I answer my inbox (which I’ll admit I’ve been having some difficulty finding a balance of blogging and figuring things out in terms of moving and finding a new day job irl) so I wanted to make these questions less daunting by having a master post where certain questions are hyperlinked to asks I’ve already answered!
This doesn’t mean I won’t be answering asks or my inbox I still 100% will be making my way through them I just wanted to offer something in the meantime while I’m finding this balance.
I guess what I’m asking is would this be something you all, as my followers (and even if you’re seeing this and aren’t following me please let me know what you think too!) would enjoy having access to! thank you so much for all of your support along this journey I’m so grateful for everyone of you

Hey there everyone! I know I’ve got some messages and asks to get back to, and that I haven’t been posting as much lately. I did get the anon stuff sorted out but lately I’ve been having to deal with some family issues and moving in with my current bf, so life has been all over the place.
I promise I have not forgotten about this community. I’m just trying to go slow at the moment and put the energy I have into the things that require my immediate attention. I hope you all understand! I’m sure you will I just wanted to give you all an update.
Merry meet! ~ B (Phae)

✨OSTARA✨
(CORRESPONDENCES)
MAGIC:
Ostara is the sabbat of new beginnings and life. Fertility magic (especially through the use of eggs and garden and seed blessings are commonly performed during this time)
Use this Sabbat to perform magic to break away barriers, start new projects or inventions, and breathe new life into your home and garden. This is also a great time to celebrate balance as day and night are equal on this day. Color eggs to attract different things such as love, fertility, wealth, and prosperity. Then plant them in the garden to slow these things to grow into your life.

Send me an ask.
I just accidentally deleted a fantastic anon question about researching Southeast Asian witchcraft! My apologies for that, anon. Here is my answer:
While I won’t presume to consider myself an expert on any of these topics, I assume your question was more about the presence of witchcraft, occult, and spiritual practices in Southeast Asian cultures. And there is a lot!
There are shamanic religions and practices . Taoism has the term “fulu” which I believe refers to spoken and written magic practices. Face reading is also a form of Southeast Asian divination that attributes various predictions to a person’s life based on facial features. (Who need palms when you can read noses? Haha.) There is also, of course, the Chinese Zodiac. There’s a Korean shamanic religion called Musok. Japan has its own practices related to divination, magic, and spirits as well. Thailand also has its own understandings of witchcraft and witches.
If you’re interested in Southeast Asian occultism and witchcraft, I would definitely recommend looking at specific countries and cultures because, like anywhere else in the world, perspectives and practices vary based on location! The only difficulty in learning about these religions and practices is that many documents have been destroyed, mistranslated, or otherwise diluted by western scholars. The term “witchcraft” also isn’t universal, so in research, you might want to consider different keywords to find more information. You might find yourself doing a lot of digging, but there’s a lot out there to learn about.
Answering this question from @tha-vvitch-aneres here since this is technically a side blog, so replies would show as a different user.
My go-to is almost always *The Green Witch* by Murphy-Hiscock unless the subject is something more specific, but that one’s kind of obvious. I think my most recent favorite resource is this free course on Medieval magic from the University of Barcelona.
It definitely changes your perspective on magic, and it has informed my understandings of a lot of practices that are hyper popular today since it covers not just Greek and Roman influences but also ways that Islamic and Arabic influences would get filtered though those and even Spanish communities before reaching places like England.
Let’s talk about witchcraft. Send me an ask!
