This blog did not and will not send requests for bitcoin donations.

There seems to be a virus or some sort of malware going around causing blogs to “send out” chat messages to blogs that they follow asking for help with the purchase of certain items through donations of seemingly small amounts using bitcoin and adds a link to the message.

The message goes as following (at least the first message I got went like this): “Hi there buddy. I need help, I’m trying to buy a laptop and I can’t afford it. I’m about 0.36$ short, and I’d really appreciate if you could help me and transfer some money to me via bitcoin using this *link*.”

The small details in the message seems to have a few variations with the greeting, amount and purchased item showing up in different variations from formal to friendly, from 0.016 to 2$ and from a phone case to a laptop among others.

The blogs that are affected send out the messages to blogs that they follow for a long time mostly, so you are most likely to receive the message from a long time, active follower whose name you might recognize or a mutual etc. The blogs that are affected are not spam bots but actual active followers who follow the recipient for months or years and most likely the blogger who “sent” the message is unaware of the message being sent.

DO NOT OPEN THE LINK.

Opening up the link will cause the virus to spread even more and infect your computer/mobile with any sort of malware.

If you have received a message of that sort from this blog please know that it was not sent by me or within my control and ignore/delete the message without clicking the link.

Just an FYI for those in the US with insurance issues

this sounds oddly plausible

a good doctor will pester the insurance company on your behalf. a couple times in my Back Pain Odyssey my insurance noped out on a procedure, and my doctor called them up and was like “no, really” and they gave in.

so if your insurance is in the habit of going “you don’t actually need TWO months of physical therapy, just walk it off,” tell the doctor who ordered it, and they may very well volunteer to, or agree to, call up the insurance people and go “simon says pay for the fucking therapy.”

For all my peeps out there fighting the good fight against Big Pharma Bureaucratic Bullshit.

Offerings for the Dead

death-witch-envy:

Most people are reblogging an ask I answered long ago about offerings to give to the dead. It’s long overdue, but I’ve finally typed it up into an actual cohesive post.

~ Herbs ~ 

  • Lavender, for peace in passing on
  • Thyme, to give peace to those who have died from violence
  • Apple, a common Irish symbol for the dead, which I often give to my ancestors 
  • Pomegranates, myth of Persephone and all that
  • Rosemary, for remembrance
  • Myrrh, commonly used in necromancy, also used to give off good vibes
  • Chervil, often used in rituals for the dead
  • Mugwort, usually used to aid divination and communication with the dead. I also give it as an offering
  • Bay, same as mugwort (my mentality is that these herbs will help “send” the offerings to the dead)
  • Lemonbalm, for peace and healing
  • Wormwood, to strengthen the communication with the dead, as well as healing and revenge
  • Frankincense, a traditional herb (usually incense) to honor the dead

~ Flowers ~ 

  • Calendula, for blessings and eternal love
  • Rose petals (or the flower) for love and healing
  • Marigolds, perfect for ancestor worship (as well as spirit work salves and tea)
  • Lilies, for a sense of security and togetherness; ideal for children
  • Orchids, for balanced emotions and adoration; ideal for former lovers
  • Daisies, also ideal for former lovers and lost family members
  • Tulips, to spread happiness
  • Dandelions, ideal for connecting with certain spirits (especially when drunk as a tea)

~ Liquids ~

  • Water, a traditional offering for the dead, often left out for passing spirits
  • Wine or other alcohol
  • Juice, namely pomegranate or beet
  • Oils, such as olive oil, pomegranate oil, coconut, almond, vinegar

~ Other ~

  • Stones or crystals
  • Coins
  • Tobacco (I also know some people who use cigarette smoke or ashes)
  • Grains, traditionally brown bread
  • Meat
  • Candles, namely dark colored or earth-toned
  • Cleaning up graveyards, placing offerings on graves and speaking to them also makes a great offering
  • Song and music
  • Anything personal to the person you’re sending the offering to

~ What to do with the Offerings ~

  • Burn herbs or flowers (safely) with a written message to “send” the offering to the soul
  • Leave coins, flowers or herbs on the grave
  • Pour liquid into the earth, or leave them out in a bowl
  • Leave offerings out as a “standing offering” for the dead who pass through (idea from @arachnospooky)

This is SO overdue I’m so sorry but I hope it helps!!

Here is a recipe for Witches’ Self Care Tea; an herbal mix designed to encourage self-love, health, and wholesomeness. You will need:

– Loose leaf black tea 

– Dried jasmine blossoms (spiritual love, creativity)

– Dried lavender blossoms (love, healing, relaxation, harmony)

– Dried rose petals (divine love and self love)

– Dried lemon balm (psychic/spiritual development, happiness)

Combine in a bowl with proportions you desire, depending on both your flavor preferences and what magic properties you want to emphasize. Steep for five minutes and add honey and your favorite milk to taste.
