biggest pain is wanting to watch sfh with french subtitles to yk get better but having watched the show so much that you know what they're saying without subtitles argrghhh
When you’ve covered all the basics, the next step is to pick some topics and study them in-depth. Take notes, whether they are online or by hand, and find creative ways to incorporate what you’ve learned into your practice. With depth of knowledge comes depth of understanding, and that will make you a stronger witch. Here are some ideas/topics to get started:
Mesopotamian magic (especially the role of astrology in Mesopotamia)
Go through each of the Sabbats and write down a summary of how they came about. What is their history, purpose and associated mythology?
Hermeticism and its influence on Western magic
The first recorded spells and incantations (hint: they were in ancient Sumer)
Who was Zoroaster?
John Dee and Enochian magic
Freemasonry
The Golden Dawn
The Salem Witch Trials, and how they affected legislation on, and public perception of, witchcraft
Carl Gustav Jung and his work on the connections between psychology and alchemy
Crystal elixirs
Shadow work
Mythology from a variety of cultures - you’re probably familiar with Zeus and Ra, but how much do you know about Ranginui and Papatuanuku? Knowing a variety of mythologies, whether you follow them or not, can help you better understand the deities you work with.
Other religions! It’s the same as mythologies - the more you know, the better.
Buddhist philosophy
Reiki
The fae
Botany - if you can, try to research the plants in your region, and devise correspondences for plants you can find in your local area based on their physical or medicinal properties. Just make sure to be mindful of local/native cultures if there are any.
Make a dream journal, and write down whatever you can remember about your dreams (don’t worry if it’s hard at first, the more you write them down the better you’ll get at remembering). Research possible dream meanings of any dreams that stand out to you!
Astrology, if you’re not already familiar with it. Astrology originated in ancient Mesopotamia as one of the first forms of divination, and as a result is the basis of a lot of magic today.
The natural world. The metaphysical is important but perhaps more so is the world to which it is attached. I’d recommend watching nature documentaries for this one.
Cover all your bases. If there’s a witchcraft 101 area that you never fully learned, now’s the time. Things like grounding, centering, circle casting, meditation, warding, visualisation… these are all important foundations that you need before you can try to build on your knowledge.

the teaser for ofmd s2 absolutely wrecked me
yeah she "pegged me", and by "pegged" haha well. let's just say...,sword through my chest
thinking about this today
The views for IDOL are already over 9 million, in under 4 hours and since the comments are still broken af, i don't think the views have cought up yet😆
Armys are just crazy, i love it❤️❤️
You know, I had this idea while watching Hwayugi. How amazing would a crossover between Supernatural and Hwayugi be?
Like Dean and Sam are hunting down a Korean ghost, but they can't see it, and Seonmi is also going after it? And maybe, while the three (or four, if you count in Castiel) are fighting the ghost, Ogong suddenly appears and saves the day?
Or imagine Castiel and Ogong meeting. Like, "Sup, who are you?" - " Oh, I'm a powerful ex-god, you?" - " Lol, I was a powerful ex-god once too, but then I drowned myself" - " Nice."
😂😂👍 I really like the idea. Quickly, somebody that can write, do it. For the greater good😏
you COMMENT on fic? you comment on the story like it's worth something? oh! oh! love for reader! love for reader for One Thousand Years!!!!
actually, I take that back, you know what would be even funnier? Moonjo as Sooyeol, and Jongwoo being his conscience, beating him up whenever he has the ~slightest~ inclination to un-alive somebody
i cannot possibly start another piece but:
Bad and Crazy AU where instead of pushing him to do good, and being his conscience, Moonjo is trying to rile Jongwoo, who's a good-hearted albeit unhinged police man, up.
