Giving kittens to new brides.
people with ‘scary’ and ‘weird’ mental issues i love you.
i love schizophrenics. i love psychotic people, i love people on the schizospectrum, i love people with DID and OSDD, i love people with NPD, i love people with PPD, i love people with SPD, i love people with ASPD, i love people with personality disorders, i love people who hallucinate, people who have delusions, and people who have paranoia. i love people who are mentally ill in ways that are viewed as strange and scary by society.
it is not your fault that you struggle. you are valid. you are deserving of care and you are deserving of love. your issues do not negate any of that.
What I've learned from working with the deities..
•They're going to watch you when you are at your best and when you are at your worst.
•They are going to watch you make stupid decisions and learn from your mistakes.
•They will let you know with subtle hints that they are with you whether you realize it or not.
•They understand that you are mortal, and inconsistent, and flawed, and learning- they forgive.
•You will fall in love with things you may have not been interested in before (seashells, water/oceans/beaches, lavender)
•Your interpretation of your deity will not be the same as others, and its beautiful.
•There will be times where you fall out of practice, and your deities will sometimes wait for you, otherwise you will have to wait for them.
•Sometimes you just have to sit there and rant. Whether they lend you an ear or not, your energy won't be wasted.
•You might have self-doubt and feel as though your are not doing enough when it comes to your devotion- you are though. Always.
Beginner witch tip: You don't need to rush into deity work, much less commit yourself to a deity right away - if ever! The notion that you should is very much a product of cultural Christianity. It's okay to take your time when it comes to deities.
survey for witches* who keep sacred spaces
*Feel free to reply if you're not a witch but please share your path
For this survey, a sacred space is any area or thing which serves as the spiritual center of your craft. Examples might include altars and shrines (including those built inside of containers), natural areas, temple rooms (including astral ones), and digital spaces.
The question is: Do you notice any improvement in your physical/mental/emotional wellbeing after you tend to your sacred space?
"Tending to" might include dusting, organizing, cleaning, removing old unrelated aspects, adding new needed aspects, providing offerings of any variety, etc.
absolutely! whether it be reassuring signs the deities i work with are present (if its a deity altar space) / assistance from them, or a general boost of inspiration and happiness, i definitely think so!
Sometimes, when our mental health affects our worship, we miss out on opportunities to learn from our deities. We also miss the guidance and help they can offer us. Take a deep breath and reach out your hand to them, even when you are anxious or depressed. They are patient, loving, and understanding. They have seen humanity at its worst and they never left us. Let them help you through these tough times. Believe me, it can make all the difference.
diversity, not only in humanity but in life as a whole is a divine blessing. the ability to like and dislike, to debate, and to choose. its what makes each individual and each experience so neat. i love diversity
i love being a witch. knowing that i am a being in tune with the universe and i have the ability to, and have, brought things i wanted in and cast things i didn't want out, makes me eternally grateful
a whopping 98% of art depicting witches and pagans being exclusively women/fem presenting people isolates an entire portion of these communities :/
Sometimes it's your sacred duty to sit around naked on the full moon, waiting for your face mask to dry. I feel opulent and well tended to. Now; book, or esbat ritual?
listen
not every spirit/deity/entity that enters your space or makes themselves known wants to work with you
some of them are just passing by
some of them just want to be there to vibe
some might be lost
some might just be curious about you or what you’re doing
communicate, ask if they want/need anything, don’t make assumptions
Ways To Be A Garbage Witch
Look everyone, in These Trying Times we can't always afford things so we gotta make do with what we got. So here's some hot tips to help you become a garbage witch:
Save and use apple seeds, orange seeds, peach pits, cherry pits, etc. to use in your spells.
Make a spirit board/pendulum board out of an empty cardboard box.
Make drawstring pouches out of old clothes.
Use bag strings for binding magic or use them in small drawstring bags.
Shoelaces and drawstrings from old pajamas or sweatpants are fine for knot magic or turning into drawstrings for pouches.
Save glass jars for spell jars.
Study carrion animals, animals that eat garbage, fungus, and the process of decomposition in general. Learn about the importance of biodiversity, and the hazards of oversterilization.
But also study proper sanitation methods, and be aware of biohazards. Don't go living in a house fulla mold or fish through people's garbage for... uhhh... ummm... taglocks. Don't store chicken bones so they'll rot.
If you have a compost bin, write anything you want to "decompose" out of your life on a banana peel. Put the banana peel in the bin.
Learn how to repair broken stuff. (But also learn what you really shouldn't repair for yourself - EG, microwaves - lest you meet with a horrible fate.)
Make charms/talismans by cutting out pictures of things that correspond with your intent and decoupaging them onto wood, chipboard, or layered cardboard.
Make paper mache diety art/statues out of newspaper.
Learn more about crafting with scraps, packaging materials, old magazines, etc. (There's many videos on YouTube!)

Witch Tip
Dont deny yourself the right to write curses. Down the line they may evolve into excellent healing and protection spells. It’s silly to deny the human and neutral aspects of magic. Sometimes great things come out of the worst of times.
And one day you might actually need that curse. Not because you can turn it into a healing or protection spell but because this curse was designed exactly for the situation you’ve found yourself in.
Curses have their place. They’re not pretty spells created in happy times. They’re the thing you turn to when nothing else has worked or when no other punishment fits the crime that was committed…
So write those curses. You may need them one day.
