I'm tired of giving long-winded explanations for both of these so I made a meme about both it

[image ID: the shaking hands meme. The hand on the left says "christian witches" and the hand on the right says "christian queer people". Where they meet in the middle it says "the Bible is the word of God but it was written down and translated by flawed and biased humans so it's our right and responsibility to spend time with God and discern what we believe His will to be".]

Devotional Acts - Archangel Michael

As requested by anon, I will be starting a series for Angelic Devotional Acts--actions you can complete as offerings for the archangels, instead of offering material items.

Archangel Michael is the Prince of Heaven and Angel of Protection. He repels negative energy, turns fear into courage, and helps with cutting negative ties.

⚔️ Cast protection spells on yourself and your loved ones

⚔️ Wish people safe travels so they remain protected

⚔️ Making sure windows and doors are locked before you leave

⚔️ Keep your pets protected in their home

⚔️ Learn protective symbols you can use

⚔️ Also learn different protection spells

⚔️ Cut off toxic people, if you can safely

⚔️ Pray a novena to St Michael

⚔️ Learn shadow work to transform your negativity

⚔️ Learn how to do cord cutting rituals

⚔️ Research the lore behind Archangel Michael and his stories

⚔️ Use protective herbs in your cooking

⚔️ Lift up your friends when they're afraid

⚔️ When you're scared, ask Michael for courage

⚔️ Light a candle for Michael, a protective flame

⚔️ Pray to Michael and thank him for protection

⚔️ Meditate to Michael and imagine a protective energy around you

⚔️ Buy a St Michael charm and use it as a protection charm

⚔️ Listen to loud, empowering music

⚔️ Taking the lead in situations

⚔️ Acting with confidence in times of need

⚔️ Help animals in need out

Do you guys have anymore ideas? Feel free to share!

Which archangel should I do next?

Prayer to Mother Mary

O Virgin Mary,

Mother of God and of Jesus,

Pray for us and for the world to rid our hearts of hatred,

May you bring happiness to the depressed,

May you stand up for the oppressed,

And may you bring us together to celebrate our diversity in unity,

May you always hold us close, and may you make us aware of the messages of mercy, justice and love of your son Jesus Christ.

In Jesus’ name, Amen 🕯

For all my fellow veiled witches, pagans, christians and more, here are some ways to veil discreetly in case your family isn’t accepting of it!

- Wear bandanas

-Scrunchies can be veils too

-Headbands

-Touques, Beanies and hats

-If you want to cover more of your hair, put a wide headband under your bandana and put your hair in a bun underneath.

music is underrated

Seriously, I've never seen anyone talk about music in modern witchcraft, and that's weird to me cuz I know most if not all of you pagans absolutely adore music. At least I do!

Plus, it has been like, primordial for witchcraft and religion in general since humans have been a thing. It connects people, helps achieve trance or specific emotions, gives you catharsis and is just perfect in every way.

So here's some help for implementing music in your practice if you're interested:

Listen to specific songs that will help you get in the right mood for the spell/ritual/sigil you wanna perform

Cast spells by dancing, create choreography-based spells

Meditate on a song that's important to you, ask why it's important, what emotions it gives you and why

Pay attention to the song you're listening, try to hear the instruments or beats in the back. I've noticed I can hear so many more "parts" of my songs after practicing Zen (not only after meditating, I mean as a permanent upgrade lol)

Compose magic songs/spells in song format

Compose spell lyrics for instrumental songs

Visualize an intention while singing with all your heart to a song that vibes with your intention

Put music in the background while doing your craft

I remember that I dreamt using a song for a spell, then I did and now every time I listen to it I get goosebumps and powerful feelings. I even feel that spell "activating" a bit even though I don't mean to (that's why we don't do hexes, kids! Jk, it was a good spell). I think I can even fully activate it again just by hearing the song if I want to, because it meant a lot to me even before I became pagan.

Seriously, mindfully using music and dance in your craft is really, really worth it.

Rituals under 5 mins

Here are a few suggestions for some ritual work that is under 5 minutes. Simple and quick!

Visualize your keys unlocking opportunities anytime you use them.

Use some herbal smoke, an incense, or diffuser to cleanse your home.

Turn your shower/bath into a cleansing opportunity to wash away all the negativities. Visualize the water as golden rain removing the bad.

Bless your morning coffee/tea with good vibes to be productive and creative for the day.

Close your eyes and take 7 deep breaths. One for every Chakra. Imagine each Chakra becoming aligned with each breath.

Bless your food with gratitude.

Set your intention for the day when you first wake up with an affirmation.
