Graveyard etiquette from a cranky traditional witch:

-Leave shit at the gate (coins, cigarettes, eggs, flowers)

-If alone go in silence, if with others speak in a hushed tone

-Wear a hat or head covering to prevent possession or bringing home unwanted spirits.

-Bring bells and/or rattles to wake the dead if desired

-Smoking in the graveyard or carrying a flame is an easy way to get the attention of the dead at night.

-Bring a knife or object made of iron should things get hairy (always bring a knife). Canes are also excellent tools for working with the dead

-have a way of gathering occult materia without being noticed by people or spirits (invisibility charms work best)

-If you're bringing spirits home with you (intentionally), don't turn around until you're across the threshold of your home

-Upon leaving the cemetery, say a prayer for the dead and wild things that inhabitant there

-When home, spread white powder (flower, salt, ect...) at the door to keep unwanted spirits out. A colander over a key hole works too.

Wait wait wait wait hang on wait.

I can side-load PDFs into my ereader.

I can... put crochet patterns into it????

Man, there’s some three-card tarot spreads in here, and in one of them the FIRST CARD asks the question “Who are my opponents, and what should I know about them?”

That is SO MUCH WORK for one single card! Help him, he cannot lift a barbell that heavy!

I like the questions here for how it approaches the problem, but three cards is not gonna do it, my friend.

I like the word “witchery” because of its linguistic similarity to “fuckery.” Witchcraft is fuckery; fuckery is witchcraft. They are inextricably connected in my mind and it makes me happy.

I started reading Witchcraft Activism the first time during 45’s time in office. I didn’t finish the book because my library loan was up and I just didn’t renew.

So unfortunately since he’s now back in as 34, I’m reading it again.

I see this a lot in fics and I feel like I’m slowly going insane so

Do you sit on your kitchen island/counters?

Yes

No

I don’t have a kitchen counter but if I did I would sit on it

I don’t have a kitchen counter and I wouldn’t sit on it if I did

I don’t sit on things

Voting ended onFeb 12

No, and I suspect this habit in fic comes from the source material - mostly movies and tv series, where a counter is higher than a chair and it's easier to keep a person seated on a counter in shot with people standing.

I did as a nimble teenager but even as a fit adult I don't see a good reason to?

When you get on here and rail about how the way you do magic is the only real way, and everyone else is just fantasizing, you're just demonstrating what a limited worldview you have.

People the world over have been doing magic in all sorts of ways since long before recorded history, but we're supposed to believe that you've found the one true way?

You haven't even learned to banish your head from your ass yet.

This is a tea checkpoint.

Is your tea getting cold?

Did you turn on your kettle and forget about it and now the water is cold again?

Is the tea bag still in?

Did you intend to start the tea making process and forget?

Congratulations! You remember now.

Sure I got up and used my new rice cooker at midnight to make the damn Xiaohongshu steamed egg, but it was delicious and it was the first real joy I've felt in 10 days, 16 hours, and 18 minutes. So.

@friend-crow

A text version if you want to read it:

Crack 2 eggs into a bowl (or 1 or 3, I don’t care, I’m not a cop). Mix them up really well so there’s no white bits floating around.

Add lukewarm water, in a 2-1 proportion (2 parts water to 1 part egg). Mix again.

(You can add some salt to this I hear? I keep forgetting, so I can’t report back.)

Either spoon out the bubbles that are on top or strain the mixture through a sieve. (whichever you feel like cleaning, tbh)

Cover with plastic wrap and poke a few holes. You can skip this bit but they’ll be a little uglier, ‘cause this is mostly to keep the steam from dripping onto the egg surface.

Steam! In a bamboo steamer, on a steamer rack in a pot, one guy on YouTube did it in the microwave, and I did mine on the steamer rack in my rice cooker.

The general advice I’ve seen has been to make sure the water is boiling, then put the eggs into the steamer and steam for 5 minutes, turn off the heat and let them stay there for another 10-ish minutes.

(tbh, I just stuck mine in the rice cooker on the steamer rack over the rice I was making and then left them there for the whole white rice cycle, and they turned out just fine. not as pretty ‘cause the top bubbled up a bit, but the texture and flavor was perfect.)

Remove them from whatever your steam-source was, then top with some soy sauce and sesame oil, and some green onions or whatever if you’ve got them.

The consistency ends up being like a creme brulee with a nice little jello-like wiggle to them. I scooped mine out of the dish and plopped them right on top of warm rice, and holy shit. Now I’m thinking about them again and I want to make more.

Video versions if you’re more about that life:

Here’s a YouTube short

Here’s someone who made theirs in the microwave

Here’s a 25-minute video with microwave options and more flavor options and explanations if that’s more of your deal
