“Let Me Tell You This: If You Meet A Loner, No Matter What They Tell You, It’s Not Because They Enjoy

Reflecting on my writing process after turning in my first college essay, I had begun with loads of brainstorming. This brainstorming process took a couple days, as we participated in class workshops to help us create topics for our papers. My brainstorming process also included asking others what they would write about, seeing if two brains could jog anymore ideas for this paper. 

This is the stage of where I had collected all of my thoughts, and started my first draft. See, this is the funny part, I say first because I have 3 other versions of the same essay. All different approaches, word choice, and style. However those 3 drafts did not capture ME as a writer, my voice was lost. I had spent some serious time just drafting this paper, and it wasn't written in one sitting either. I enjoy taking breaks when producing work, new ideas each time I start. Though, it can leave me with a crunch for time. This is something I can work on to improve myself, and my writing. 

Going through and editing my paper, I had no “set image” for what I wanted to produce. I wanted something a little more raw, I have been confined to a supply and demand ideal when it comes to high school writing assignments. I was able to really show off my voice in this paper- However my timeline can get pretty jumpy, as I know my audience and am not comfortable sharing everything with them.

Enchanting Objects

Hello pals im Roy, hi, how are you? Im back! Isn’t that great, i think thats absolutely fabulous! Anyways little context, i was trapped because of the pandemic but im back home and that’s what matters.

Anyways let’s start with the very interesting topic of enchanting objects xd. 

What does enchanting objects mean? 

Basically and in a fast summary, you are putting your energy into that object so it fulfills an intention/purpose. Example, im gifting my best friend a little necklace, i enchanted it so it protects her against negativity and toxic people. 

Can the enchantment run out of energy (stop working)?

Yes, as most of spells that surround energy, they can stop working but don’t worry! There’s actually a great post regarding this topic by @scroll-of-thought​ right here that i would recommend to read. If you’re too lazy the summary is basically 1. create a sigil who recharges the enchanting through something simple such as touch or moonlight 2. create a spell jar who grabs energy from the surroundings and doesn’t need to be recharged. 

How do i enchant objects? 

1. Cleanse the object, you don’t want to put your energy into something that has negative energy in it. 

2. Then there’s actually a lot of ways of enchanting an object. So here’s a brief list: 

Enchanting with touch 

Visualizing energy running to the object (my post regarding visualization here)

Surround the item around crystals (if you have them) that match the intent

Draw a symbol/sigil on it with an invisible thing such as water, or idk be creative

In general i personally prefer the visualizing thing, but you know, paths are so different and maybe some people prefer enchanting with crystals! Remember not to use too many of your energy and that you can grab energy from other things such as plants, crystals, the sun, the moon, etc!

With nothing more to say, good luck in your craft <3
