i want to shake those two little Victorian girl bitchs hands who faked the pictures of themselves playing with fairies and thank them for paving the way.
OP can we please see the pictures
The photos are of (and by) Elsie Wright and Frances Griffith, who were respectively 13 and 11 at the time! Not Victorian, but just after - the pictures were taken around 1920.
I think I have mentioned it before but I always like seeing these photos cross my dash because I am related to these girls. I don’t think I am a direct descendant but I would have to ask my family to make sure, I just know that thats something we talk about in the family.
A collection of ideas on how you may incorporate your comfort item/s into your craft. Be creative, be specific, make it your own! This is just to get some ideas flowing <3
Stuffed animals:
Put small tumbled crystals in with the stuffing.
Make a crystal bracelet/necklace for them.
Make herb/spell sachets (or even a teeny spell bottle) and place inside.
Alternatively, sew on a little pocket and place the sachet/bottle in that!
Enchant to bring comfort/protection.
*Use as a physical tie for wards or spells.
Make little outfits - incorporate color correspondences, stitch sigils in them, add little pockets to hold herbs/crystals, etc.

Blankets:
Stitch a sigil onto a corner (or use fabric paint).
Add a small pouch/pocket (with a flap) for herbs and crystals.
Spritz with an herbal spray.
Enchant to bring comfort/protection.
Color correspondences.
Make your own blanket and infuse magic into the stiches/rows. Be creative with the colors and patterns - how do they tie into what you intend to use the blanket for?
Other items/general ideas:
Hold and channel your energy + intention into the item.
*Use as a physical tie for wards/spells.
Draw/stitch/attach sigils.
Attach/include crystals.
Spritz with an herbal spray or attach herbs.
Utilize color correspondences/material correspondences.
Enchant the item itself, or attach something enchanted to it.
Things to keep in mind:
Cleansing. If you are using your comfort item to help protect from negative energies, I’d recommend cleansing it frequently!
Charging. How do you charge the magic you’ve added to your item?
Refreshing. With wards, spells, and enchantments, they tend to fade with time. When was the last time you refreshed it?
*Risks. Physical ties for wards can be affected when the ward is attacked/broken. Do you want to risk it? Also realize that there can be multiple layers to wards, you might use your comfort item as a smaller, more specific ward. (I recommend having multiple ward layers).
Have fun! Your comfort item is important to you, so what you do with it magically should feel good–not stressful or overwhelming!
It’s so fucked up that women are so universally dismissed and hated in society that nearly every single woman goes through a phase (if not a lifetime) of thinking she isn’t like other women purely because she has rational thoughts, hobbies, feelings, and needs.
