Nice. Calligraphr is another fonts option–you make your own, and it’s free to use including commercial use. You do have to sign up though (which does not require a credit card; I mention this because there is a paid version too).

Have fun, and good luck!

Removing Toxic Friends

thepunkgreenwitch:

*a super simple spell to remove toxic friends from your life

Supplies

Black Pepper: Banishing negativity

Cayenne: Dealing with separations

Dandelion Leaves (the bigger, the better): Purification and banishing negative forces.

Biodegradable string (or some kind of string that won’t hurt the environment)

A good sized piece of bark, flat as possible

Taglock(s) of the individual(s)

Steps

1. Place the pepper, cayenne, and taglock onto the dandelion leaves.

2. Roll up the leaves and securely tie it. Visualize these as the individual(s).

3. Go to a nearby river or creek. Place the dandelion leaf poppets onto the bark and send down the river. Visualize them leaving your life.

Offering Stones

fondwitch:

Hello, there is a post on tumblr here that shows you how to make offering stones. They are beautiful! But additional reblogging of the post included mentions that baking soda is not safe for nature. So I tried to come up with a different type of offering stone that isn’t harmful. I attempted several experiments before I finally remembered making gingerbread ornaments as a kid that were not edible. The recipe I have for you is simple, completely environmentally safe and it will not mold over time.

Cinnamon Offering Stone Recipe:

ž cup of applesauce

4 ounces of Cinnamon (about two jars from a grocery store)

Put the applesauce in a bowl and slowly mix in the cinnamon a little at a time. It will eventually start to thicken and ball up into a dough that you can form with your hands.

I added some herbs and flowers that I have dried myself just for an extra touch (although the cinnamon stones are a sufficient offering themselves) Pictured are thyme, rosemary, peppermint, roses, sage (leaf and flower).

Preheat your oven to 200° (fahrenheit) and bake them for 2 hours.

It’s up to you what size/shape you make them, so get creative! I made mine smaller (an inch to inch and a half) and made circular and heart shapes. I was able to get 33 cinnamon stones. (Added tip:  if you have a spot in your grocery store where you can buy “bulk” spices and measure your own, I suggest getting the cinnamon there. I was able to get 4 oz for about $3.15 which I know is cheaper than if I had purchased two jars of it.)

I am so glad these turned out this wonderfully! It really bummed me out when I found out the other recipe was no good. I wanted something that I could give back to nature if I take something (such as a rock or herb). You can leave these as a thank you or you can also offer these to a god or goddess.

The most important thing is that these are totally safe for the environment!
