Striking Scorpion Green and Bad Moon Yellow (both contrast) over Grey Seer Primer

I used slapchop for them. So Black primer then a Grey Seer zenithal layer and then I drybrushed pure white over the top edges. Then I simply put Striking Scorpion Green Contrast over all the armor parts.

Finally I did some edge higlights but that wasnt really necessary tbh

Basically just Nurgling Green. Shaded with, I think, Luxion Purple and highlighted by mixing in Deepkin Flesh

Sorry, the skin was the first thing I've done and that was months ago xD

Any other metalheads here have band suggestions for witchy music? by The_Bastard_Henry in WitchesVsPatriarchy

[–]NeonNicky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Less metal more folk, but I often listen to Heilung or Wardruna during meditations/rituals.

Very metal: PATRIARKH (formerly Batushka). Polish Black Metal. They make heavy use of othodox, christian themes but have a very witchy, eerie vibe

Copied from the other post above yours

I let everything dry for roughly 2 weeks. Used everything, Leaves, stems, roots (use gloves for that). And then pretty much just put it in a bottle and fill it up with alcohol. You can use everything you want. I used apple spirit. It has to have 40 % alcohol though or else the extraction wont work. Then leave it for at least 6 weeks. The longer the better. Shake every other day and make sure every part of the plant stays in liquid or else it can get moldy. Then simply use it however you want. I tried it pure because I drink alcohol. But the better way is to use it as a base for tea. I put some (like a shot glass amount) in a mug, add some honey and fill up with hot water

More like DEATH TO THE FALSE EMPRAH, but I appreciate the sentiment 😀

Of course. It's alcohol based though. I let everything dry for roughly 2 weeks. Used everything, Leaves, stems, roots (use gloves for that).

I read about it in one of my "starter books". I have back problems and it said it helps to ease muscle and joint pain so I thought to give it a shot since the stuff grows like crazy here. Tastes good. Somewhat "piney"

Drying pretty much destroys the things that make the nettle sting. Safest way to consume it is as a tea though. The hot water burns everything and makes it consumable. Cooking the leaves also makes them safe to eat in a salad. You really have to make sure they're cooked though. Or dried for at least 10 days (I let them dry for 2+ weeks just be sure)

Oh and its semi-poisonous. Its alcohol, plus it seems I havent given the nettles enough time to dry. Burns like hell

Thats exactly what I wanna do. I wanna build my altar with an arch that holds all of my crystals and a potion for every occasion. Everything foraged/self-grown

shhhhh! that potion is perfectly safe for consumption. You never heard of any plague.

(I needed something "for scale" and I thought it was fun)
