love, not wrong (eden)

Hello! I am a Christian Witch who enjoys tarot, sigil work, knitting, crocheting, writing, storms, seas, mountains, forests, the night and the moon, as well as a few other things! :) Cancer sun, Pisces Moon. 23, they/them, empath. Secret witch! I'm friendly to all witches, pagan and atheist alike! This is a side blog: theanxiousace is my main!

[romanirainbow]

White witches are not persecuted. Modern witchcraft among white people is not what women were persecuted for during witchcraft trials. You being judged by monotheistic religions has nothing to do with the mass executions of innocent people, largely women, well before even your grandparents were born. I hate to tell you but most of those women didn’t practice witchcraft. They were considered witches or under “the devil’s spell” because of sickly partners, the death of their infants, false accusations by people who didn’t like them, etc. You don’t have centuries of generational trauma when the “oppression” of white witches is extremely modern.

[penrosesun]

Also, not for nothing, but it's probably worth remembering that an awful lot of the people who were burned and oppressed for supposed witchcraft were actually Jews.

White (culturally Christian) witches are very into rewriting history to place themselves on the pyres, when in reality, their ancestors were the ones who formed the mobs, often specifically against ethnic minorities. Oppression isn't a game or a costume, and some of us are still actually harmed by the religious bigotry of these institutions. And honestly, it's a slap in the face to hear white witches throw around terms like "generational trauma", without even bothering to consider that some of us learned that our ancestors were burned at the stake from the Yizkor prayer for martyrs at our synagogues on Yom Kippur – not in a hot take citationless wiccan blog post written in 2015.

You're not "the descendant of the witches they couldn't burn" – you're a descendant of the bigots who did the burning, and you need to unlearn just as much racism and bigotry as the rest of white Christendom does.

[romanirainbow]

This. This is the one.

[witches-ofcolor]

And let's not forget you beat indigenous practices our of Africans and Native Americans and continue to do so today. They weren't witch burnings, but they were active persecution and erasure of living religions you all considered witchcraft. It's not lost on me that a black woman was one of the first put in trial in Salem.

LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT MONTEREY BAY SPICE CO.

You need herbs in bulk and you don’t have a lot of money? This place has your back.

Here is the first order I received, ¼ pound bag each of sage, bay leaf, rosemary, basil, sea salt, and cinnamon sticks. How much did all this together run me? $22. 

That’s WITH shipping. I am so ecstatic about this place and I figured that everyone needed to know about it. You can find their website HERE. They also sell teas, essential oils, glassware, spice blends, and all sorts of supplies. I love this place and it is now a valuable resource in my life

[rosewhitewanders]

I saw someone asking where to buy herbs online??? I can’t remember who but maybe they’ll see this!!

A collection of free-use texts on witchcraft, magic, and related topics. Shared with Dropbox

Hello, witches! Since I’m always harping on about learning your history and checking your sources, I thought I’d help folks get a head start by compiling some source material.

To that end, I’ve started a Dropbox folder with a stash of historical texts on witchcraft, magic, and related topics. Nearly everything I’ve managed to find so far is public domain (thank you Project Gutenberg), with the exception of a very thorough herbal grimoire I found online some years ago and a book of witchcraft from the 1970s that appears to be out of print.

I will be continuing in this vein with future texts that I find. Everything will be public domain or cited to the source that it came from, in PDF format. I will NOT be including PDFs of any book currently in circulation with a copyright linked to a living author or estate. The point of this folder is that everything in it should be free for sharing and open use as research materials.

Below is the initial list of titles. I tried to include as many as I could find, with a focus on some oft-cited classics. I will be adding new texts as I find them.

In a piece of Scottish folklore from Selkirk it is described how a woman was able to protect herself and her baby from some malicious fairies that had snuck into the house by wrapping her husband’s waistcoat around them both

Isn’t that just the softest concept? Isn’t that just a most peculiar, domestic kind of magic? Such a simple, intuitive kind of protection. And we do this all the time!

    “Your shirts are nicer to sleep in.”

    “It’s cold out, take my coat.”

    “I miss you, so I’ve stolen your sweater.”

    “Borrow my blazer for your interview!”

    “I wore this when I was your age, it is just your size.”

All the clothes we lend, steal and hand down so affectionately! All the fabric we wrap around us that is full of another person’s thoughts of us! It’s all magic. Magic so old that we don’t even remember that it is

PBW Witch Shop & Zine Distro

The PBW Witch Shop is a curated selection of witchcraft and magic related zines, books, pin-back buttons, tarot cards and more.

We focus on traditional and folkloric witchcraft, animism, chaos magic, secular witchcraft, magical herbs and plants, queer witchcraft, tarot & Divination, witchcraft & magic in politics, history, culture, and social & racial justice,  and aspects of non-Wiccan forms of witchcraft, magic, and paganism.

Pre-Covid the Portland Button Works primarily made custom pinback button. Selling zines and books was secondary and more of a hobby for me to share things I’d like to read. Right now our business is pivoting to focus on books and zines that people can read in the comfort and safety of their own homes. Some items are from well known witchcraft and occult publisher and some are titles from small publishers with interesting items I don’t see in other shops but I’m excited to elevate.

Not everyone has income to buy books right now, we totally understand that, but I would love it if you were able to reblog this post or share Portland Button Works and PBW Witch Shop with your friends.

If you have been looking for a book about something specific, or if you think something would be a good fit for our catalog, get in touch. We can order almost any book in print, even if it isn’t witchcraft or magic related.

Psalms for Protection Spells this Full Moon

The book of Psalms have long been used by people of different spiritual modalities as a book of spells. If you are doing protection spells this full moon here are some Psalms you can use:

1. Psalm 18:2-3

The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold. I called to the Lord, who is worthy of praise, and I have been saved from my enemies.

2. Psalm 18:16-19

He reached down from on high and took hold of me; he drew me out of deep waters. He rescued me from my powerful enemy, from my foes, who were too strong for me. They confronted me in the day of my disaster, but the Lord was my support. He brought me out into a spacious place; he rescued me because he delighted in me.

3. Psalm 40:1-3

I waited patiently for the Lord; he turned to me and heard my cry. He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire; he set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand. He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see and fear the Lord and put their trust in him.

4. Psalm 46:1-2

God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear.

5. Psalm 116:3-9

The cords of death entangled me, the anguish of the grave came over me; I was overcome by distress and sorrow. Then I called on the name of the Lord: ‘Lord, save me!’ The Lord is gracious and righteous; our God is full of compassion. The Lord protects the unwary; when I was brought low, he saved me. Return to your rest, my soul, for the Lord has been good to you. For you, Lord, have delivered me from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling, that I may walk before the Lord in the land of the living.

No bragging, just 100% floored and grateful. Work hard, maintain a positive attitude, and believe that anything can happen.

[virgocity]

So I reblogged this exactly a week ago because I thought it was funny and uh lo and behold, a family friend wrote me a big ol’ check just to help me out of a tough financial spot AND my bank refunded me $32 for fees they’d originally taken out. SO UH YEAH. Reblogging this again in hopes that it brings equally good fortune to my followers.

[penprp]

Sure why not? Jobs bring in money and prosperity…

I NEED TO FIX MY CAR DOOR

[getlostpeeves]

It fucking WORKED.

[nineprotons]

Could use this to help with Mini-p’s nursery school, the need to get our winter tires put on rims (which would save us tire-changing money in the long run), maybe someday help me visit my family in the US again, lol… :) Between winter tires at the start of the year, needing to have the garage door fixed, needing a new dryer, then losing the nice subsidized nursery school program, etc…2018 has been a bit spendier than normal. D'oh.

[breelandwalker]

I can always use a boost. Hopefully from book orders!

[bean-feasa-deactivated20201210]

According to the artist:

Ganbrood (Bas Uterwijk)@ganbrood

My Jesus portrait is going pretty viral on Twitter at the moment, without me being tagged so for everyone interested here is a little info on the process of constructing it:

I have been a professional photographer for the last 14 years but I have a background in Computer Generated images and Special Effects. A little over a year ago I stumbled upon the AI Artbreeder software (formerly Ganbreeder) which utilizes a neural network trained on photographs and paintings of thousands human faces. This application makes it possible to combine multiple sources of faces and merge them in a synthesized version, guided by the artistic decisions of the user. I use it to create historical and fictional characters.

When I was playing around with several cultural depictions of Jesus of Nazareth of Byzantine and Renaissance origin including Leonardo da Vinci’s “Salvator Mundi”, and the Turin Shroud. Tweaking the ethnicity to a more convincing Middle-Eastern face.

I was happy with the result as a representation of a collective cultural depiction but at the same time I felt it lacked any historical accuracy. So I changed the hair and beard to a more credible length and style for the time and region and I brought in elements found in mummy portraits, pushing the renaissance art to the background. The result is a artistic impression of how this man could have looked, more than it is a scientific search for an exact likeness.

Perfect Bread:

I absolutely love this recipe! The bread is soft, and is perfect for sandwiches, French toast, and pretty much everything you can think of. I don’t want to buy bread from the store ever again!

6 Cups all-purpose flour

2 ½ Cups very warm water

2 Tbsp. Active dry yeast

2 Tbsp. Sugar

1 tsp. Salt

1 Tbsp. Butter

Combine warm water, yeast, and sugar and let sit until the surface is foamy (If it’s doesn’t foam, the yeast doesn’t work).

When yeast is activated, add 3 cups of the flour, the salt, and the butter. Mix until thoroughly combined, about 2 minutes.

Once mixture is smooth, add the remaining 3 cups of flour. I recommend folding the flour in until fairly combined before kneading.

Once combined, knead dough for 6-8 minutes in a stand mixer, or 8-10 minutes by hand.

Form dough into a ball, cover with plastic wrap or a cloth, and let rise for 45 minutes.

Cut dough into 2-3 equal pieces and place into a buttered bread pan, and brush melted butter (or olive oil). Allow to rise in the loaf pans for an additional 10-15 minutes. (🍞 Tip: Use a small knife to make a slit longways across the bread to prevent splitting along the side of the bread.)

Bake bread in a 375°F oven for 30 minutes uncovered, and and additional 10 minutes covered in foil to prevent excess browning.

Makes 2-3 loaves of bread.

Hi. I'm new to the idea of witchcraft. Would you mind answering some questions for me? I'm a Christian and I think God wants me to use this craft. That probably sounds crazy, What is christo-paganism and what is the difference between it and being a Christian witch? Sorry for the ignorant questions.

Hi darling, I’m sorry if you asked this a long time ago and never got answers. I am awful at checking my inbox.

I am a Christian witch, which means I follow the traditions of Christianity and believe in one God, the trinity, and the resurrection of Jesus the Messiah. I don’t believe in the gods from Norse, Greek/Roman, Egyptian etc. traditions. (Note: not believing in these gods does not mean I don’t respect those who do. In my eyes, “not believing” doesn’t mean I don’t think that those gods exist, but that the god who created me, saves me, and hears my prayers, is the Abrahamic God.)

Christopagans come in a variety of shapes and sizes. There are Christopagans who believe in a Mother Goddess, separate from God, whose spirit lives through Mary, Mary Magdalene, and other Biblical women and exists as somewhat of a Mother-Nature, though there are distinct differences. There are Christopagans who worship God but also nature, in multiple spirits and gods of this world. There even are Christopagans who practice multiple traditions, Abrahamic and Hellenic for instance.

The largest factor in deciding whether you’re called towards Christian witchcraft or Christopaganism is reflection and prayer. I didn’t feel called towards Christopaganism, because the God who spoke with me was not male or female. I refer to God as They, I was not searching for a “feminine energy” in my God, I had found it within Them. I feel Their power and energy in all living beings, I do not need to separate the trees and the ground and the animals, because, to me, they all flow with the energy of my Creator. But my feelings may not align with yours, and you must talk with God and figure out what is calling you spiritually.

A word of advice though: Carefully examine your desires of a religion. Ask yourself why you want this. Paganism and Witchcraft are incredible things. But sometimes, we can use it as a way to avoid our moral responsibilities as Christians. Be careful to recognize your role as a Christian in witch discussions. Many people in the pagan communities have been hurt by Christianity, especially the hatred-brewing subset that is so prominent in today’s society. Acknowledge that. Work to help everyone, not just those that agree with your beliefs.

Finally, Paganism or Witchcraft can lend to us the idea that we have the power or that God is a tool. This is a common issue among witches of all traditions. We forget that our power flows from the one(s) we pray to. We carry it within ourselves, but we call on God to help us work our magic because in the end, it is Their works that we carry out. This belief is a bit challenged by those who practice an Atheistic form of witchcraft, but the premise is the same. We use the energy within and surrounding us, we do not create the energy.

I hope this helps you.

If any of my information is incorrect, please let me know or add on to this post. I do not practice Christopaganism and my experience within the tradition is limited to when I was beginning my journey. I do not mean to insult anyone’s traditions or claim superiority, if any of my wording suggests that, please let me know and I will change it.
