History/Lore – They are often used to represent love and innocence in both historical art and modern art. Many believe that kissing or embracing under a blooming cherry blossom try will give the couple good luck in their relationship. Farmers use to honor cherry trees as good omens for rice harvesting. They often were used as representations and even offerings to several major and lesser deities. It is said in some lore that cherry blossom trees attract spirits as well, but only ones of fortune and good luck.
Salmon- This color falls in a unique field of a lightened Red mixed with plenty of White. Often Red is a color of lust, passion, courage and action though when mellowed with white it takes this sunset gentle tone. Often this color relates to mild enjoyment, family love, and sincerity.
White as we witches know is a color of purity, cleansing, youth, wisdom, protection, coldness and sometimes death.
With these two colors together I see your up coming week is going to be one of enjoyment. It is a message: “enjoy the little things, enjoy your time with family and friends and take some time to relax.”
Hey do y’all fucks remember two years ago when just before the election all these “don’t vote both parties are bad” or “vote independent!” Posts were going around and then Trump won and now two weeks before midterms there’s all these “don’t bother voting, revolution is the only way!” And “your vote isn’t gonna matter and is an ineffective way to protest” posts are going around? Yeah knock that shit right the fuck off, don’t fall for it and get your ass to the polls, we are not doing this again.
Happy Halloween everyone! I have been thinking about doing this for a while and after some positive feedback its time for some fun!
How does it work?
Quick simply, you send me an ask (preferably off anon see down below why) saying “Trick or treat!” and I will use a random number generator to see if you get a trick or treat. Everything is a 100% random!
But! The treats are worth it!

Tricks!
You are just going to have to wait and see~
Rules for the Game
Only 2 Trick or Treats per day. Please be reasonable and don’t spam please!
I am a busy person outside of tumblr so please remember to have some patience, some of these things will take time to make or do. If I am at work when receiving them I can’t just instantly do them.
Be respectful please!
As I said above, it is preferred that you do it off anon simply because a lot of these are based off of your blog. If you do receive a treat and its one meant to be personal or customized, I’m not going to try to hunt down who that anon was and will probably just do something basic.
Remember that everything is randomized!
Have fun, this meant to be fun for you and me!
I am unsure how long this will go on, currently I aim until Halloween!!!
I know a lot of others are doing it but just little things, random number generator decides. Those who get Trick get well maybe a gif reply to their ask but nothing much else. Treat you can get anything from a free one card tarot reading, colormancy reading, sufflemancy, fast/quick spell or other such things.
Would that be something you’d all be interested in?
Okay sounds like at least a few peeps are interested! I will type up the post and rules. But in the Spirit of Halloween everyone may trick or treat 2 times a day! No spamming please! And I would prefer non anon but not banned to. Youll see why once i make the full post

KIDS! In the US and elsewhere… older generations will use you as a prop but will work against making the world better for you, again and again. GET OUT THERE AND VOTE!
Please! Voting is super important and a right we need to make sure we’re using! There’s even early voting going on now so you can get it out of the way before November 6th!
The Trump administration is working on a plan to severely narrow the legal definition of gender, according to a report in The New York Times on Sunday.
The proposed policy, according to the Department of Health and Human Services, would define gender “on a biological basis that is clear, grounded in science, objective and administrable,” meaning it would define gender as either male or female as determined by genitalia at birth. Any dispute about an individual’s gender would require genetic testing. This would have major repercussions for the transgender and gender nonconforming communities ― particularly in regard to health care.
Since the Trump plan was revealed, protesters have been gathering online ― often using the hashtag #WontBeErased ― and in person around the country. On Sunday night, several hundred people gathered in Washington Square Park in New York City.
But there is still a lot of work to be done to make sure the trans and gender nonconforming communities are protected.
You’ve likely seen people coming out in droves to encourage others to vote; it’s one of the most important things you can do as an American. Casting ballots at the federal, state and local levels affects transgender rights. Check Vote.org for ways to promote turnout in your area. Call your friends and family members nearby to go to the polls with you, and remind those in other states to vote too.
Educate yourself
Being an ally isn’t just patting your trans or nonbinary friends on the back or retweeting them occasionally. It’s about respect and fighting for their rights. The first step to being a good ally is educating yourself on the basics — knowing someone’s preferred pronouns, avoiding stereotypes and learning what policies in government directly affect the trans and gender nonconforming communities. You can find a primer on those issues and more here.
Promote helpful resources and trans-led organizations
While many “prominent national organizations are not led by trans or nonbinary people,” many are and need help on both the national and local levels. Some of those organizations, according to Out magazine are: Audre Lorde Project, Casa Ruby, Familia: Trans Queer Liberation Movement, Fierce, Organizacion Latina de Trans en Texas, Southerners on New Ground, Sylvia Rivera Law Project, Trans Latin@ Coalition, Trans Law Center and Trans Lifeline. More comprehensive lists can be found at the Trans Justice Funding Project and Borealis Philanthropy’s Fund for Trans Generations.
Sharing numbers like the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 800-273-TALK (8255), the Trevor Project at 866-4-U-TREVOR (866-488-7386) and Trans Lifeline at 877-565-8860 can be immensely helpful for those in crisis.
Share the work of trans activists and journalists
Groups like Lambda Legal, the ACLU and the Transgender Law Center are legal organizations that ofter extensive information about trans rights and policies that affect them. Keep an eye on their social media pages to see if they’re holding events you can take part in or to share their messaging.
Additionally, sharing the work of trans and gender nonconforming journalists helps spread the messaging being put out by the community for the community. Too often, work about the trans community is written by people who are not members of that community ― which can be completely OK, as long as it’s done correctly. This piece in Them does an excellent job of explaining the problem with media organizations not hiring trans reporters to cover trans issues.
