Lia here, nice to meet you! 💗

Hi, I'm Azalia (that's just my witchy name tho), but you can call me Lia!

About me

Magic

Eclectic witch and beginner. I've been studying for a few years, but I still consider myself an apprentice (or baby witch).

I'm more drawn to divination, moon magic, spirit working, palmistry, cartomancy, chaotic magic and paganism.

Politheistic, but I don't worship any specific god for now. I'd prefer learning more about magic in general before start deity working.

I adore the moon, the water and I feel a special connection with cats.

Fangirl things

I love reading Webtoons, mangas, manhwas and comics! Specially if they're sapphic. I also love watching series and caricatures.

Here you can find content about:

She-ra and the princesses of power (2018)

The Owl House

Arcane

Wednesday

Miraculous Ladybug

Not so shoujo love story

And whatever animated show that has LGBTQIA+ representation.

Personal

I'm 19 and I'm from Venezuela.

I speak Spanish but in this account my posts are mainly in English.

I'm asexual, biromantic and demigirl. My pronouns are she/they.

I'm Aries Sun, Taurus Moon and Rising.

E-Offering to Artemis

[odinswitch]

Quick reminder for both new pagans and experienced pagans: it's normal to not always feel a deity's presence, and it's normal even if you never feel their presence. You're not doing anything wrong.

Signs You AREN’T Talking To Your Deity.

Hey everyone. I want to preface this with a few disclaimers. First, not everyone believes in this. Some people don’t find it necessary to take any protective measures, and I’m not saying they are right or wrong. Second, it is very rare for anything terrible to happen, but I have seen it before.

You’ve probably seen a post or two that warn you about protecting yourself against dark entities when you reach out to your deities. Personally, I would rather be safe than sorry. I find it generally easy to cast a circle, so I do that before I do any in-depth communication/divination with my deities.

So how do you KNOW when to question who you’re talking to?

1.) They are telling you to do something that is harmful. If they tell you to do something unhealthy, or harmful in any way, question who you are talking to.

2.) They are causing you to do something that is unhealthy. Are you finding that you are excessively distracted or obsessed with them? Are you having trouble focusing during important tasks? This is different than being happy or thinking about them often. I mean that if you are trying to do something important, can you feel them trying to pull you away from it? Are you feeling threatened by them?

3.) They are telling you something that is too good to be true. I have heard things such as: Being told you are a deity reincarnated, being told you are “the chosen one”, or that you are a demigod. Yes, there are people who are chosen to become priests/priestesses, but this comes with TIME and LEARNING. This will not happen until you build a strong relationship with your deity. It WILL NOT happen within the first couple days/weeks of practicing.

4.) They are outwardly sexual or seductive. (NOTE: I do not judge anyone’s relationships with their theoi. Including sex in your worship is A-ok (with the permission of your deities of course). ) If you find that they are being overly seductive, sexual, or pressuring in any way, question who you are talking to. If they seem to only be talking to you about sex, question who you are talking to.

5.) Mania. Do you feel unrealistically good with them? So good that everything feels out of control and you feel blinded by it? You might want to question it. Connecting with your theoi can create happiness in ways you may have never experienced before, but it should NEVER be so blinding that you are obsessed or unaware of everything else. If you find that your life is suffering due to this, question who you are talking to.

6.) They are being manipulative or possessive of you. If you try to focus on something else, do they try to pull you back to them? If you start to question who they are, do they try to convince you to stay? Pay attention to things like, “I can make you feel better.” “I can be everything you want.” “You will be nothing without me.” Manipulation is a big red flag.

7.) They are telling you everything you want to hear. Know what your insecurities are, and don’t be ready to run off into the sunset as soon as you hear someone validate you. Yes, your theoi are extremely loving, validating, and reassuring. This is not that. This is that sickeningly sweet, manipulative voice. It seems to know every word you want to hear, and is quick to say them.

8.) They are pushing you to give any part of yourself to them. Are they pressuring you to invite them in? Your theoi may say they want you to devote to them, but they will NEVER pressure you. They know these are big decisions, and you can take your time deciding upon them.

Again, this is EXTREMELY RARE. I don’t want this post to scare anyone, or make them question their relationships with their deities. I am only making you aware, so that you can keep an eye out for yourself and your loved ones.

The best way to assure that this doesn’t happen is to cast a circle. I have also made black salts, and drawn protective sigils. However, casting a circle can be done hundreds of ways with or without tools. Build up your skills at it, and trust that you are safe when you do so.

(IMPORTANT NOTE: I will not ignore the possibility that mental illness has a place in this. If you are experiencing dangerous or harmful voices, hallucinations, or urges, please speak to a licensed mental health professional. It is important that we do not blame everything on spirits, when there can be other very real, very dangerous illnesses involved.)

When i meet someone new, i always automatically assume they hate me... mainly because of my autism spectrum discorder. Even if i haven't told them about it, my brain assumes they know because i'm so awkward, nervous and very fidgety around other people. - And i know it's just my brain who is playing tricks with me.. and not reality! Yet i keep thinking about it. Sometimes it makes me feel insecure. I hate how hard it is to establish and maintaining friendships.. i wish it was easier. It's also very hard for me determine and distinguish when somebody is just an acquaintance or a friend. So i always end up being really closed off or i end up just infodumping. Do you have a similar experience?

[bewitching-me]

Same happens for me. At work I'm the only newbie who hasn't talked to anyone, I just say good morning or hi and that's it. I see my friends engaging with everyone, and I'm just like 🧍🏻‍♀️ and it's so freaking frustrating, because I always fear that they laugh about me or that they hate me, so I ended up being a loner even though I didn't want to. Besides my friends, I don't talk with anyone else

Witch capitalism is so funny because it's like:

"Hey! Hey! You like the moon, right? What about moon phases? What about this snake-thingy that's eating its tail? Can I interest you in a LARGE UNBLINKING EYE? What about the astrological signs? Do you want these shitty unsourced crystals? Something vaguely Harry Potter-ish? Clever wordplay with the word "witch"? This sinister looking pentacle? A poster with random herbs? This drawing of a tree!!? You're all some flavor of surface level western media style witch, right!!? Right!!?"

witchcraft things

that didn't work for me

and why

- kitchen witchcraft

i love cooking and i love working with plants, however incorporating spells into my food didn't work for me. i got way too distracted by the spell part, that i completely forgot to make the food taste good. and as much as i love magic, it took the fun out of cooking for me. because now, cooking wasn't something fun where i could experiment with flavors and textures, it was something i had to put thought into beforehand. and i like to be spontaneous with my cooking.

- protection spells

protection spells seem to be the most important part of the witchcraft community. and i do think it's important to know how protection magic works, but it's also very unnecessary to have protections up 24/7 if you're not famous or have many enemies. i tend to forget about my protection spells, so they just sit on my altar, untouched for months and i forget to make new ones. hasn't hurt me so far tho, so i'll be saving those up for when and if i actually need them.

- casting a circle

not gonna lie, i tried that once and never again. it felt so pretentious to me.. like i was in Chilling Adventures of Sabrina. and not in a good way. i stumbled across that practice on witchtok first, that was when i thought i was wrong for practicing my way and not how other people said i should. i don't think casting a circle is a bad thing to do, but it absolutely is a bad thing to do for me.

- bowl spells

bowl spells are one of my favorite kinds of spells because they're interactive. you put things in, you take things out. the energy doesn't feel stagnant and the spell is always working it's magic as long as you interact with it. ....but unfortunately my adhd made it very clear to me that those kinds of spells aren't something that works for me. i forget about them 5 minutes after i made them and they never get interacted with, so they don't do much of what they're supposed to. i would definitely recommend them to people who remember to take out and put in stuff tho, because the concept is great.

- scrying

gods, did i want that to work. divination is my favorite kind of witchcraft and i'm great at it! so when i learned about scrying, it was something i immediately got interested in and tried. i tried fire and water. fire worked a bit better, because the flames are dancing and water is reflective. that meant for me, i was always seeing things in it that were physically there, and couldn't concentrate on the scrying part. honestly i don't really remember why the fire method didn't work out, but i assume i got distracted really fast or lost in my thoughts.

- veiling

veiling can be done for many reasons. mine was, that i wanted to use it as a way to protect myself from all the different types of energy in public places. every person has their own life, with their own problems and their own current state of being. and since i have social anxiety, i thought veiling would be worth a try so that public places perhaps wouldn't get overwhelming as fast. well, that backfired because before i could try it, i realized i was trans and the head covering made me feel very dysphoric when i put it on at home. i never attempted anything similar again after that.

- ancestor work

i lost someone really close to me in early 2020. she wasn't a blood relative, but she was my dad's best friend, our landlord (who lived in the same house as we did by the way) and she saw me grow up since i was a baby. i was so desperate to try and talk to her. i tried to reach her myself, i asked other witches for help, but it never worked. after a while i decided to let her be, because the constant getting my hopes up and then being disappointed didn't help my mental health. i just wanted to know if she was okay now, but i think i just have to trust that she is. as for my other ancestors, i don't know anything about them and i am not really interested in finding out. i wasn't close with any of my great grandparents because we saw each other about once a year until they died. they didn't do anything wrong, but i don't want to force a connection.

- dragon work

damn. i really love dragons. all my life and with all my heart. and i truly believe that they are out there (not physically, like dinosaurs were, but in a similar way the gods are out there). i've done a lot of research on the topic, but my mental health got in the way. i don't have the concentration to reach out to them, nor will i be able to dedicate a specific amount of time to them regularly, which i feel like they won't like. i will try again when and if i get better, but until then it goes on this list of witchcraft things that didn't work for me and why.

The Hermit, Reversed.

This card and position represents the need refocus on my need to give myself the space to work on my spiritual growth. Day to day my life seems so busy and I tend to forget and postpone my own spiritual needs. Let this be a reminder that we all need to take the time to meditate and focus on what we need. What do you need today? Maybe that extra few minutes to breath, or take a relaxing bath with petals and candles. Connect with your inner peace.
