forest witch: here grew willows and alders, their trunks twisted like giants’ sinews. around them bark lichen bloomed blue-white in the darkness. it felt like a good place, where there was old magic.
I don’t know, my favorite was always witch weather. That moment that in a gust of wind or in the rumbling sky or at the edge of a fog bank where suddenly, you feel different. A restlessness, a sense of longing for a place that does not exist. I don’t know if anyone else has felt the electric tense changing of that moment. It calls the magic to your skin. For a moment, you feel ancient and powerful and lonely, as if you forgot something important. Witch weather. For some reason, in that wild instant: you remember you are alive, and that means some part of you belongs to the everlasting.
(Pyromancy, specifically… aka reading your candle’s flame)
Highflame: your spell is strong along with the magick surrounding you
Low flame: there is something opposing your spell. It might be you, a deity, or the magick in general that believes you shouldn’t do this spell or maybe your magick isn’t strong enough at the time of your spell (try meditating more or practicing more if you think this is the case)
Crackling or popping flame: conversation! Your deities or spirits are trying to speak to you!
flickering flame: usually indicates a spirit is near or that your deity is listening to your prayer if you’re using a devotional candle
A split flame: indicates that there is more than one spirit accompanying you
If the candle will not light: your guardian/deity/intuition doesn’t think doing this spell is a good idea
if the candle will not go out: usually means your spell is not done and your magic is still trying to finish up, let it burn some more until you think it’s time to put it out
