I have a lot of side blogs, if this blog doesn’t explain why I followed you check @faecatgoddexx or @halffaeriehalfhuman or @tiny-foodstuffs or @faeriesystem-cottage or @amethyst-the-fox or @faerie-health-blog or @lunastar-amethyst-the-blog to figure out why I followed you
problem with tv shows today is i think a lot of them want to be movies. 90 minute episodes with full cgi and a plot so streamlined theres no time for filler is not a tv show to me. tv shows need a low budget so they can afford to send the characters on weird detours to flesh out the universe. its healthy. its good for the ecosystem. you need a show wiki writers and tv tropes cataloguers can sink their teeth into.
— Hail Golden and Divine Aphrodité Protector of Lovers ⋆✴︎˚｡⋆
This Valentine's day, when it is also the day of Aphrodité, i thank Her for the protection of me and my partner, for being hidden in all the beautiful moments and memories, in the flowers i always get for my love, in the sun that shines on us and in the wind that brings us together.
To love and be loved is a gift. Great Goddess Aphrodité i thank you now and forevermore for this gift. <3
"S ha szél fúj lágyan ott vagy benne, gyönyörű fény az égen ragyogsz le ránk,
galambok turbékolnak amerre jártad visz, rózsák és nárciszok közt lépdelsz egyre,
s kísér téged Eros és a szerelem illata, a szépség maga vagy, kedves és őrző Aphrodité"
(my poem)
Praise Prayer for Lady Aphrodite
O radiant Aphrodite, Golden-born from seafoam and sky, Lady of Cyprus, Queen of soft laughter and fierce longing, I lift my voice to you in reverence.
Blessed are you who stir the hearts of gods and mortals alike, Who weave desire into destiny, Who paint the dawn in rose and blush, And teach the soul the courage to adore.
You who walk upon the waves in shimmering grace, Whose smile kindles warmth in the coldest spirit, Whose gentle hand unites what was divided Hear this prayer offered with devotion.
Grant me a heart open yet wise, Passion tempered with kindness, Beauty that shines from within, And love that is fearless, patient, and true.
Lady of the myrtle and the dove, Guide my steps toward harmony and delight. Let my words be sweet, my presence a blessing, And my relationships reflections of your divine art.
Aphrodite, star of longing and sacred union, May your grace rest upon me. May I honor love in all its forms, And carry your luminous spark within my spirit.
So may it be. 💗
I always forget there are maga people on tumblr, this doesn’t feel like a website you’d find them on, so to keep them away:
Reblog if your blog is a maga free zone because if it wasn’t clear enough fuck ice, fuck maga, fuck Trump, Fuck Rowling, and fuck all the other bigots I missed
I will never stop saying this:
Natural remedies have side effects, too.
They are not less dangerous because they are natural.
You still need to consider dosage.
You still need to consider interactions with medications and other things you're taking.
Some of them will not work for you.
You HAVE to treat them with the SAME caution as you would a prescription.
OP had an experience with someone in the local witch community who was taking six cups of 'anti-anxiety tea' per day and gave herself lavender poisoning because she didnt think herbal remedies could harm her.
Remember, darlings: the difference between a cure and a poison is the dosage!
Yall asking.
Lavender is fine to take daily in small doses, but if you start feeling any of these symptoms, even if you dont think lavender is the direct cause of it, please stop for awhile and see how you feel. Consult a doctor if it persists.
Same goes for any herbal remedies- if it causes you discomfort, stop.
It's also important to let anyone who is prescribing you medication know what natural remedies you are taking because they can interact with and even counter indicate some medications.
“In Viadescioism, we believe that recognizing and honoring the divine within ourselves is a path to true understanding and connection to existence. This understanding is not meant to feed the ego, but rather to explore and embrace our unique divine aspect and how it fits into the larger whole. By finding our aesthetic, values, connections, and areas of influence, we can tap into our own divinity and use it to empower ourselves and the world around us.”

“The divide between the mortal world and the raw divinity of the divines is thin, for they are not distant beings, but present and closer than we realize. They do not judge us from afar, but exist within us and around us.”

welcome new Witchblrites who aren't beginners: I hope this is helpful to you
Myself and friends have noticed a large influx of activity into witchblr, and since we've already had a king's ransom of how to witchblr posts for beginners, I'd like to present a how to witchblr post for practitioners who've already been at it a fair while.
So, if you're a practitioner who's already been at it for a fair while and this is your first time on the magically side of Tumblr, I gotta tell you:
There are a fuckton of belief systems coexisting here, and if you can't figure out how to be chill with that, you're going to have a bad time.
I remember my first culture shock coming onto Tumblr. I was a young witch of about 2 years experience or so, primarily raised up on a few books and one very insular witchcraft forum. "I know how magic works," I confidently told myself, because I was young.
And I got to Tumblr and basically immediately found out that no, I do not know how magic works. I know how magic works FOR ME. I know my own beliefs. But the second you step past your front porch and try to tell other people their ideas are wrong because they conflict with your personal beliefs, you're gunna have a bad time.
There are a lot of witches on Tumblr who flat out do not believe spirits or gods are real. And they're friends with theists and spirit-workers. There are a lot of witches on Tumblr who completely follow the psychological model, and they break bread with magic literalists. There are witches on Tumblr who aren't from the USA (****shocking!!) and will tear your "ackshually, here is what the colors REALLY mean" chart to shreds, because as it turns out, that's not what red symbolizes in the Philippines, nor do they give a flying fuck about the Golden Dawn has to say on the matter.
If you are uncomfortable existing in a space where people with different fundamental beliefs expect their ideas to be treated as equal to yours, Tumblr might not be the right site for you.
(and/or, this is a great opportunity to figure out how to not have an aneurysm when your entire personhood is based around [X MAGICAL THING] and someone dares comment "I don't believe in X, but [salient and helpful thought]" on a thread you're following)
I feel like there is a lot of fear mongering about beginner practitioners making mistakes, and I also feel like experienced practitioners are too quick to shame beginners when they make mistakes.
That being said... experienced practitioners of witchblr: reblog this and tell us about a time you made a mistake in your practice. Tell us how it happened and what you learned from it. If you're reading this as a beginner, read through what people reblog. I hope you can find some kind of comfort in the fact that even the experienced practitioners on this hellsite aren't perfect.
One of my own mistakes: I was once burning a bundle of herbs I tied together with some twine for smoke cleansing. Something in me kept saying "keep burning it, not enough smoke" (spoiler alert: it was the inner arsonist saying that). Well, I smoked up my entire bedroom. Couldn't even see the roof. Also smoked up the living room and kitchen, but not as bad as my bedroom.
Another mistake I made: early on in my practice I was burning white sage and "smudging". Yeah, cringe I know. I was not at all aware of the fact that white sage is considered a sacred medicine to North American Indigenous people, and I didn't realizing smudging was a specific practice and not equal to smoke cleansing. Spoiler alert- I no longer use white sage, and I don't attempt to smudge.
Keep in mind that a lot of ideas about witchcraft and paganism, especially those written in the 20th century, were influenced by the imaginations of repressed Victorians. If you see something that sounds like a repressed Victorian dude's wish fulfillment fantasy... it probably is, lol.
Alright since we're apparently all writing tips for folks just joining witchblr (and frankly, some of the folks who have been here for a while), here's a few more:
You don't need to set up shop as a teacher, content creator or influencer here. You can participate and be a respected member of the community without all of that. It's fine if that's what you're into, but you're not really expected to be or produce a product here.
Along those lines, understand that a lot of us are keeping personal blogs, and yes we will talk about personal experiences, which might not be intended for other people. If it's helpful to you, great. If you disagree* or (gasp) feel that it is UPG... yeah, it's a personal blog. Move along.
Witchblr is kind of a small world, and tumblr's block feature only works so well. If you can avoid unnecessary drama with people, that'll be helpful in the long run, 'cause you're gonna be seeing them around, and you'll probably have mutuals in common. Not to mention unnecessary drama is unpleasant for everyone and, well, unnecessary.
You don't have to share every moment of your craft. Most of us don't.
Have fun, be silly, make friends. There's a lot to learn and contemplate here, but also a whole lot of silliness (and terrible fire safety. Just absolutely piss poor).
You may find that the liberal use of disclaimers will keep people from jumping on every post you make to be like "BUT WHAT ABOUT APPROPRIATION AND OTHER HARMFUL BELIEFS??" Example: *Usual disclaimer about how this is not about appropriation or other genuinely harmful beliefs. Feel free to vocally disagree with those things, like ya do.
Anyway here's my opinion of the day:
If you only study witchcraft, you're not going to be the best witch you can be. If you're going to use herbs, study botany. If you're going to use meditation and mindfulness, study theraputic methods like DBT and CBT. If you're going to use astrology, study astronomy. If you're going to use cooking and baking and drinking, study gastronomy and mixology. If you're going to use crystals, study geology. If you're involving paganism that has its roots in a particular time and place, study their histories and cultures. If you're a technowitch, study computer science.
Science and magic aren't opposing one another, they work hand in hand. Only by truly understanding the world around you can you utilise it to the best of your abilities. There gets to a point where cutesy little affiliation lists and emoji spells on Tumblr isn't going to help you any more.
Ngl, the way some of y’all talk about “tricksters” makes you sound like conservative Christians fearmongering over demons and false idols.
Does that other practitioner actually have an evil malicious trickster spirit who needs to be banished with love and light, or do you just need everyone else’s relationship with their Gods to be a carbon copy of yours?
PSA: Not everything is about Crowley
Some of us are old enough to remember when you spelled magic with a k as not to be confused with stage magicians.
I'm giving a shoutout to all the neurodivergent witches.
Your mental illnesses/executive dysfunctions don't make you less witches, I promise.
Here's another annual reminder to Witchblr: "blessed be" is a Wiccan thing, not a witch thing.
