Good Practices for Grieving Witches

Grief sucks. It’s weird, it’s exhausting, and it never looks the way you expect. One minute, you’re crying into your tea, and the next, you’re furious at the universe. It could be anticipatory grief (I see you), grief over death, grief over a society we're losing, or anything else. Someone/something doesn't have to die for you to grieve. If you're a witch dealing with grief (or just a person, honestly), here are some things that might help:

🔮 For the “I have no energy” grief – Light a candle. That’s it. No elaborate rituals, no full moon graveyard walks. Just light a candle, maybe whisper their name, and let that be enough. If even that’s too much? Sleep. Spirits know how to wait.

🔥 For the “I’m so fucking mad” grief – Channel it. Burn shit (safely). Scream at the sky. Write down every angry thought, then tear it up or toss it into running water. Grief is messy, and magic doesn’t have to be polite.

🌿 For the “I just wanna feel close to them” grief – Make a little spot for them, if that feels right. A photo, a trinket, their favorite snack. Talk to them, even if it feels weird. Signs can be subtle, but sometimes they’re loud as hell.

🌊 For the “everything hurts and I need comfort” grief – Water is your best friend. Drink it, bathe in it, cry in it, leave an offering in it. Emotions move like water—let them flow instead of bottling them up.

Grief is a long, stupid road, but you’re walking it. However you get through it—whether you’re lighting a candle, throwing hands at the sky, or just taking a deep breath—it’s enough.

Doing some research on Deities, and Astraea caught my eye <3

Goddess of justice, innocence, purity and precision, representing all the good in the world. She's also referred to as the "Star Maiden" or "Star Goddess".

She became the constellation Virgo when she ascended to the heavens, due to the fall of the Golden Age.

In the Golden Age, there were no laws or rules because people were truthful and always did the right thing. There was no pain, sorrow, or turmoil. It was Heaven on Earth. Then humanity became corrupted, the people were wicked, greedy and violent, and many Gods and Goddesses left Earth because of this, Astraea included.

Astraea has not abandoned us, but will return to Earth when humanity is no longer corrupted, and the 2nd Golden Age will begin.

✨✨✨

Parents: Eos (Goddess of Dawn) and Astraeus (God of Dusk) OR Themis (Goddess of Justice) and Zeus (God of the Sky)

Symbols: torch, scales, stars and wings

Personality: sensitive, wise, purehearted and chaste

I think a big reason why "children are an oppressed group" gets (wrongly!) read as a "pedophile talking point" is that everyone treats children so terribly that actual child molesters can speedrun winning a kid's trust by like, actually respecting their needs and perspective, at least at first. Which means that the only way out of this mess is for all of us adults to treat children with respect, so that abusers can't use the rareness of that respect as a weapon.

Yeah I've been thinking a lot about how cults will prey on marginalized people and how it's so much easier to push an "us versus them" mentality on a person who already (legitimately, accurately) perceives the world as hostile to them
