Everyone is being really rude at work today. Not even guests like coworkers. Like banquets can’t make up their mind if they need me tonight or not and keep telling me different things every hour and then act like I’m a moron for being confused by the revolving door of back and forth changes. Accounting is yelling at guests over the phone and at us over the phone for again no real reason. Managers all seem grumpy. And just, I have no idea why everyone is so mad at us today.
You either hate Nazis or you’re on their side it’s easy as that you can’t be morally grey on this
You can’t even say something like “I’m not into politics” or even the #woke version “I’m not educated enough on this matter to have a side” or something because even children know Nazis Are, like, Bad

you may notice not one of those words is positive, not even neutral
its a game where there are no correct answers, just different ways to be told you are invalid, wrong, and should be ashamed. thats a shitty game to force people to play
Or, more appropriately titled: Doing Your Own Research, Without Just Looking Up Someone Else’s Correspondence Lists. Because while those lists are very handy to get started or have a shorthand reference, it gives us memorization, stopping just short of real understanding. What’s more, most correspondence lists won’t have your local (overlooked) plant life, or whatever niche plant, rock, animal you need. Sometimes, you have to get your hands dirty and figure it out from scratch.
Anyway so here’s some stuff you can do to aid in that.
The Science Look into what it physically is. What family does it belong to? If that weird plant growing in your backyard is closely related to say, basil, it will likely have similar properties. Was that crystal formed under heat and pressure, or is it a sedimentary rock? What does this animal do? How does it live and survive? A lot of correspondences come from this level, and it’s the easiest level to research. Physical traits and fun science facts are all welcome here and fair game to use in magic.
The Folklore Okay, so we know what the Thing is made of, but let’s look into its relationship with humans. There’s nothing demanding that roses be the Official Love Flower, but rather it’s a collective cultural thing. That has worked itself into magic as well. Are there any stories involving your object of choice? Local superstitions? Home remedies? What does this item get used for in wider culture? For some things, there may not be much here. But for those that do have lore, it’s a valuable resource.
The Vibes The actual, spiritual sensations you get from holding or touching the Thing. (This is going to apply more to rocks and plants… please don’t go out and touch wild animals.) This will give you some better understanding beyond just what it does, but how it does it. Does the energy seem aggressive? Is it fast or slow moving? Does it give you the impression of being related to a certain element? Which brings us into the next…
The Voice If you communicate with stuff or spirits at all, this is for you. Just ask the Thing for yourself! “Hello. I am ____. Tell me, what sort of things would you be able to help me with?” Prepare an interview, maybe. This will likely be more specific than “love” or “cleansing,” because they’re giving you a pitch and will know themselves very well. It may be “I help someone realize romantic feelings they already have but don’t know about,” or “I help other cleansing items so that cleansed spaces stay cleaner for longer, but I don’t work by myself.” If you get an answer, record it!
Experiment Use the Thing! If you have a general idea of what it does, throw it into the mix for your next relevant spell and see how it changes the result. You can read a lot about something, but the research doesn’t stop when you start using it! As you discover things through repeated use, make note of that as well!
You need to take some time to focus on your own personal needs these upcoming days, you need time to recover. You have been exhausted whether mental or emotional, but its time to take a break. Give yourself some love, and spend some time with those you care about.
For the upcoming days for you, you need to focus on some self love and attention. It is okay to spend some time just making yourself happy rather than working or pleasing others. some stress is in your future so you need to know you can help with it. Enjoy your favorite food, take a long bath or shower, watch a movie or get that new book you’ve been eyeing. Now is the right time.
This song is all about avoiding danger, disaster and keeping yourself one step ahead of others. So you need to start thinking more critically, because there may be some challenges coming your way, but you can outpace them. You just need to stay on your toes, keep your wits about you and when one arises, you need to think it through.
I keep this particular stone in the bag because it represents change of time, how the water smooths out the rough sharp edges. You need to focus some of your energy these next few days on focusing on some of your flaws that you know you have and addressing them. Baby steps are sometimes key too, don’t feel it will happen over night.

Admittedly one of my favorite songs from the movie next to the Cell Block Tango. Though this song has a definite energy to it, its about bribery and control, though that part of it I don’t feel should be taken literally. I believe rather this song is telling you during your next few days its time for you to jump on opportunity and not to sell yourself short. You need to understand you have to put yourself first sometimes.
A hat that, when left alone with another hat, will mate and produce hybrid offspring
Negative gold pieces
A map that is the territory
Armour that becomes more effective the uglier the wearer
A living pocket-watch that never needs winding, but if you don’t feed it, it dies; it’s an obligate carnivore
Goggles that put censor bars over monsters of the Aberration type
An instructional tome in the secret language of ducks
A dagger that glows in the presence of one particular goblin
Angry shoes
A magnifying glass that interrogates unexamined assumptions
A quill and inkwell set that lets you write with perfect fluency, but only in languages you don’t understand
Clothing whose colour and pattern are literally impossible to describe
A magic potion that renders the imbiber both incredibly persuasive and extremely gullible
An actual key to your heart
Kind of in the same spirit, there’s a crappy magical item generator right here: https://rexiconjesse.github.io Ive been. Extremely tempted to inflict some of these things on my PCs.
basil is an herb i hold close to my heart as a witch, as it’s told in folklore that witches of old used basil to fly on their brooms. its magickal properties include steadying the mind, bringing happiness, love, harmony, and wealth.
lemons, rich with the aura of the moon, are excellent fruits for healing and cleansing.
to make basil lemonade, you will need:
☾ ½ cup rinsed basil leaves
☾ 3 tbsp. sugar
☾ 4 cups water
☾ ½ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
in a bowl, combine the basil leaves and sugar. with a wooden spoon, crush the leaves with the sugar until crushed well. add water and lemon juice, and stir clockwise until the sugar is dissolved (about 2 minutes). add more sugar to taste.
I believe youre just exhausting yourself. It takes time to have enough energy control to do lots of spells a day. Best I recommend is researching grounding and centering and energy work.
Of course. You can use red string instead of black to represent binding the sexual enery. Or white for purity. Or both! You also just make it clear why youre binding them when doing the binding.
