About Me🖤🪴✨

Hi, I’m Red. I’m 19, and I’ve been a practicing pagan witch for 7(almost 8) years. I was introduced to paganism by a friend of mine who’s family was pagan, and upon spending more time with them found it is what truly clicked with me. Im an eclectic witch, though plants are a big part of my practice. I figured I will share some basic stuff about me, my page, and my practice so anybody seeing my page for the first time knows what to expect.

I do post poetry, while that’s not all that I post that is a portion of it. A lot of my poetry is related to my practice and observations of aspects of my life.

I am irish from my dads side and Greek from my moms side. I practice both Hellenic and Celtic paganism. However, I am also omnistic. So if you have questions regarding any of that I am always free to answer questions

My current deities are Aphrodite and The Morrígan. I have been working with Aphrodite since I was 14 and The Morrígan since I was 16. Deities I have worked with in the past include Athena, Apollo, Hades, and Brigid.

I DO practice forms of baneful magic. It’s perfectly fine if you don’t, however baneful work has become a larger part of my practice and is something I might occasionally post about.

I am southern and live towards Appalachia, some parts of my practice are going to be influenced by southern and Appalachian folk beliefs as those are what I grew up seeing

I practice spirit work and I am a medium. This isn’t something I talk about often as I prefer to keep that part of my practice private. And the work I do for people as a medium is confidential

I am always open to do tarot readings, pendulum readings, and wax scrying. If you want a reading feel free to message me. The readings I do most frequently are love readings(the joys of being a Aphrodite devotee) and deity confirmations. I can do any readings except anything to do with fertility or law.

If you think you would enjoy my page be sure to give me a follow 🖤✨

Some questions and thoughts for you.

I'm watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer and the topic of souls seem very big in this show.

It appears that the soul is the piece of a person that in inherently good, innocent and pure. Without it the person becomes violent and evil.

What do you think a soul is? Do you believe in the soul?

My personal beliefs is the the soul is our mind. It is our being. It is the connection of the magical stream through the universe and our biologically earthly bodies. It is neither good nor bad. It encases all of our experiences and memories. When we die that piece of us returns to the universe and enters the collective mind of the universe. It will be dissolved, experience absorbed and be remade into a new one.

Let’s talk Snap Dragons 🪴✨

Snap Dragons, a frequently forgotten ally in protective and baneful magic. These flowers are incredibly useful alongside being incredibly beautiful✨ this post will cover some basic facts about these plants including origins, care, and metaphysical properties 🪴

Basic facts and care🌱

Snap Dragons, also called Antirrhinum majus. This botanical name actually means “like a snout” referring to the plants snout like appearance, often compared to a dragon or calf snout.

Native to Mediterranean Europe, Syria, and turkey

Do best in full to partial sun, and moist but well drained soil

Come in both standard and dwarf variety

These flowers rely on larger bumblebee species for pollination, as smaller pollinators are unable to open the petals of the plant to access the pollen

Doing best in spring or fall, due to their love of slightly cooler climates.

These tower like flowers begin blooming towards the bottom of their stalk and slowly work their way up to create a full and dynamic appearance.

I prefer to first plant these flowers in the spring, as they are able to settle and take root while maintaining beautiful and vibrant colors. This also allows me to harvest some blooms earlier in the reason before summer hits.

These plants will often struggle during peak heat in the summer, however if you keep them watered and well cared for through the summer heat they will perk back up and bloom again in early fall 🪴

These flowers blooms don’t last terribly long compared to some others, but they make up for it with ease of harvest and their beauty

To harvest these blooms you do have options depending on your end goal. You can either

Cut the entire stalk after all blooms have opened, hang the stalks upside down in a cool, dry place, with a plastic or fabric bag over the flowers to catch any that fall. This is best if you plan to hang these flowers as a protective talisman, or decor either hanging or in a vase

Pinch the blooms, by gently pinching the base and bulling gently you can maintain the flowers shape without separating the petals. To dry these blooms simply place the flowers on a paper towel or thin cloth towel, and sandwich them between 2 layers. This allows the blooms to dry while also not being overly exposed.

Natural drying. Since these blooms do not last long even with perfect care, many people will allow the blooms to dry naturally on the stalk. This is also due to the unique shape snap dragons take when they dry on the stalk. Many thinking the dried blooms resemble tiny skulls.

Metaphysical Properties ✨🌱

Extremely protective, purification, strength, grace

Are believed to help protect against hexes, curses, and nightmares

One of my personal favorite talismans for protection as they carry a more baneful energy

Simple return to sender using snap dragons:

Place your dried snap dragons either in front of a mirror on your altar or in your space, or in a compact mirror. Anywhere the snap dragons are facing a reflection. Do this with the intention of the flowers protecting you against the negative energy, and sending it back. This is my favorite simple way of using snaps in my everyday practice

Have a great day or night, and let me know if you have any questions or requests 🌱✨🪴

Let’s Talk Fox Glove🪴

Fox Glove is one of my personal favorites when it comes to plants I work with. Not only is it beautiful but it is an incredibly useful ally and harbours beautiful energy in my garden. I am lucky to have an area of my garden that animals and people can’t easily access, this is important to remember with foxglove as it is extremely toxic (both to eat and touch). In this list I’m gonna talk about some basic facts about the plant as well as it’s metaphysical properties and care 🪴🖤

Basic Facts and Care

Fox Glove(digitalis purpurea) is a plant native to Europe, the Mediterranean region, and the Canary Islands

They thrive best in full to partial sun. As well as moist, well drained soil.

They are a biennial. Which means they will come back and flower every year for 2-5 years depending on care and your region.

They contain a poison that is a cardiac stimulant. While yes, foxglove has been used by doctors for certain ailments. Use caution with this plant as it can trigger cardiac events.

When handling this plant it’s important to remember to wear gloves and minimize its contact with your skin. As many people experience rashes after contact. The toxin can also be absorbed though breaks in the skin, so please be a careful.

They are most toxic when they are in their seed producing stage. Their seeds and roots are the most toxic parts of the plant(but all parts of the plants are still toxic)

When drying these beautiful plants for your practice. In my experience it is best to dry them in a cool, dry place, tied upside down with either a plastic or fabric bag over the plant all the way to the area your string is tied, simply to prevent seeds and dried pieces from falling to the floor. This is especially important if you have animals or children.

Metaphysical Properties 🌱✨

Planet: Venus

Zodiac: Taurus

Basic Properties: death, healing, life, protection, fae communication

Extremely protective plant, similar to snap dragons, they act as a protective anchor for both your garden and your household.

I personally use dried foxglove in my herb bundle for my home guardian(Ridire). This encourages him to protect my home and my space, while maintaining a calm, safe energy

Only hot people bury red foxes in their garden under a blood moon

I'm starting to do some nesting.

And interior decorating.

I need some help here witch friends.

My therapist suggested that some of my issues I have could be... spiritual? She said that I might be sensitive to energies or vibes to things from the other place. I'm not sure. I've never explored that and I don't know how.

Does anyone know where to start? Or would be willing to listen to my experiences and give me some advice?

Honestly I just need to know if I'm crazy or not.

Beltane Blessings!

I wish you all a blessed Beltane. May you be happy and healthy and may the Deities protect us all.
