We’ve all seen the hashtag #wakingwitchblr or the term itself at one point. Still, I found that there’s a lack of info on what you can actually do to make witchblr more active.
So I took it upon myself to create a list of things that anyone can do to revive our amazing community! Enjoy !
There’s nothing inherently wrong with liking a post, it’s just that due to how Tumblr works, liking a post does virtually nothing. Reblogging, however, lets that post be seen by more and more people. The surefire way to revive witchblr is by reblogging as many witchy posts as you can.
But what if some posts just doesn’t fit into your blog’s theme, even though you want to support it? Well, you have a couple options:
Reblog anyway. Diversifying your posts actually makes your blog more interesting. You can always tag it as ‘off-topic’ if the different theme bothers you that much.
Create a reblog/spam account! I have one and it is so simple. The post may not gain as much traction compared to if you RB-ed in your main blog, but trust me when I say a single reblog goes a long way.
Share it on other social media. See that arrow-like button down there? Click it and you can share the post anywhere. Send it to your witchy discord servers or your insta groupchat !
AKA reblog from lesser-known bloggers.
Not only will you support fellow witches creating content, this also give you a chance to talk to them and find your place within Witchblr! Which brings me to my next point…
If I’m a witch who wants to move away from Tumblr, there will be only one thing that can stop me, and that’s the friends and connections that I’ve made here.
Join online covens and discord servers, ask your witchstagram and witchtok friends for their tumblr url, and just have fun together.
Interacting with other witches, making friends, even just giving compliments or advices. This is what makes us a community. It’s what makes us stay here. If we don’t interact with each other, than we’re just a bunch of people who likes the same thing without any connection. That’s not witchblr.
There is a kind of… exclusivity, when you look through the hashtags of witchy posts. Witches only ever tag with “witchblr”, “witchcraft”, and “magick”.
This creates an accurate, non-spammy post, but it is also a post that will only show up on other witches’ dashboard and no one else’s. The community will never grow in this way because there will be no new people finding the community. It’s just an echo chamber.
Instead, diversify your tags. I’m not telling you to tag your ritual oil with ‘cars for sale’, but if you made a travel altar yourself, there’s nothing wrong in tagging it #crafting, #diy, #handmade, etc.
Non-witches will then find the post and potentially become interested in the community, thus making it grow.
Original content is the backbone of any community, and witchblr is dying because we’re not producing any. So if you want to revive witchblr, make content of your own.
No, it doesn’t have to be well thought-out. Heck, it doesn’t even have to be good. Original content can be anything! It can be you posting about a witchy thing that happened. It can be your drawing, or a picture you took. It could even be memes???
Or it could be a ‘how to wake witchblr’ post that you wrote because you have a script due 3 weeks ago and somehow this is your idea of procrastination
The point is: just click that ‘Make a Post’ button, and make a freaking post !
Now that you know these, it’s time to let other people know too ! I put a lot of thoughts into this post, but I have to admit that these tips will only work if everyone in the community is doing it.
If you have other tips or ways to make Witchblr more active, feel free to reblog with your own addition too.
I love this community, and if you’re reading this post I’m sure you do as well. It’s not gonna happen overnight, but I know that we can be as active as we used to be. We’ve got the heart, we just need the action.
Pantalaimon: Lyra, help Will fight the angry lad with the knife!!!
Will: …Pan, YOU CAN SHAPESHIFT. Turn into something OTHER than a red panda! Turn into a wolverine again! Maul him!!! HELP ME!!!
Pantalaimon: Again, dæmon. You can’t maul humans when you’re a dæmon.
Pantalaimon: I mean, all you can do is give them a very meaningful look.
good things will happen 🧿
things that are meant to be will fall into place 🧿
I’m re-reading The Amber Spyglass and I’m once again struck by how good a villain Marisa Coulter is. A terrible person but such a complex character.
In the cave, her duality is so obvious: while drugging Lyra with force and in such a cruel way, she’ll be tender, kiss a lock of her hair, sing a lullaby to her even though she’s never done it before and doesn’t even know the words, try to soothe her, use endearing terms. Afterwards torturing and tearing a bat apart in frustration over the situation - directing her anger towards a smaller creature, then sulking and anguishing about the fact that her daughter hates her and won’t forgive her for all her actions, and she knows it.
At the same time she has this twisted idea that she is keeping Lyra safe by keeping her asleep, and her intention is genuine in that aspect - she isn’t wrong. She’ll feed her and wash her and protect her while being so self-serving and ignoring Lyra’s wishes. But she is hell-bent on not letting anyone hurt her daughter again.
It’s also so heartbreaking that Lyra is calling out for literally anyone but her biological parents to save her, mostly some of her found parents, Iorek and Serafina. Even in her tormented sleep, she doesn’t accept Mrs. Coulter no matter how tender she tries to be.
“The only way to get rid of temptation is to yield to it.”

***I understand that cursing is a controversial topic for some people. I don't believe in the threefold's law or whatnot, so such things aren't a concern for me. I do, however, advise you to only curse someone who truly deserves it. Curses are meant to be permanent and difficult to break, while hexes aren't nearly as potent. Do with that knowledge what you will. Intense spells will be marked with "***".***
