“Witches tend to be animists. The word animist refers to one who embraces the concept of animism. Animism is derived from the words “anima” and “animus,” the Latin words relating to the soul, intelligence, and having a living nature. In the eyes of the witch, everything is alive, and anything with physical matter contains life-force and intelligence. For the witch, nature is alive. The rocks, the water, the wind, the animals, the plants, the stars, the planets, and all things that we can perceive as existing within the material universe.”

Psychic Witch, by Mat Auryn

Been thinking a lot about my gender lately and how it relates to my deities/patrons... I’m starting to wonder if my problem with being seen as a “woman” isn’t so much a problem with the idea of being a woman but rather, the social expectations that come with being a woman -- many of which I meet simply because I enjoy them (doing makeup, sewing, cooking/baking, being motherly, etc.,) but I genuinely HATE the idea that comes along with womanhood which is: “well you’re just doing those things because you’ve been TRAINED to, because you’re EXPECTED to”

There is such a disrespect of women’s autonomy and I cannot fucking stand that. I cannot stand the idea that I am expected to be a certain way because of my gender or my reproductive system.

Which I suppose is why I don’t identify with women usually but when it’s a monstrous woman or a terrifying but beautiful goddess or a horrifying demoness, I just feel so strongly “that’s me!”

because they’re feminine but they also defy the social order, they cannot be FORCED into taking the role of mother or caretaker or homemaker. They make their OWN decisions and aren’t subject to coercion.

I still can’t identify as a woman though. It just feels so WRONG to me at this point. gender is confusing.

Wind Enchantment for Divination

A spell to enchant an object or piece of jewelry to help give the caster energy for divination and aid.

You Will Need:

💨 Piece of jewelry or an object 💨 Windy Day 💨 Outdoor space where you can work

Steps:

💨 Prepare yourself for the spell however you see fit

💨 With your object in hand go outside to the space you are going to be working in, if you can face into the wind

💨 Grasp your object to your chest and feel the wind in your hair and blow against you. Feel its energy merging with yours. Visualize this however you desire, this spell is heavily visualization.

💨 Hold out your object into the the wind. Visualize both your energy and that of the winds, swirling about the object, like a cyclone. Visualize this whirlwind being absorbed into the object

💨 At this point I often imagine almost like an eye appearing during this process, for this spell to help give you energy for divination work.

💨 Once you feel satisfied with the amount of energy placed into your object, thank the wind for its help however you feel is fit.

💨 Wear/hold the object whenever you are using divination, especially if its going to be a large session.

💨 Cleanse object when needed and may occasionally need to be charged with the wind, though not too often.

concept: a death god that is actually surprisingly supportive and on the side of the good guys, supporting actions and promoting policies that will lead to the kingdom growing and thriving instead of being destroyed, because the more the kingdom grows, the more people there are, and the more people there are the more people will eventually die, and when you’re an immortal god of death, you know there’s no need to rush. you’ll get them all in the end

i like how the responses on this post are cleanly split between “hey this is a great story idea i love it” and “this is absolutely terrifying”

Yes. A Death that is kind, and patient, and inevitable.

A Death that need not fight against you, that will often fight for you, because why not? It will gather you home eventually. Why not enjoy you first?

A Death that treasures those who fight it most ardently. That loves healers and defenders and survivalists and necromancers and mad scientists and immortal gods. That lets them pour everything they are into fighting it, denying it, adoring every desperate scrap of strength and will and brilliance and raw determination poured out against it. That catches you when your strength is done and all your will and brilliance run out, that gathers you close beneath a warm, dark cloak, and whispers well done, oh child, you were magnificent, well done.

A Death who will not seek to hasten an inevitable end, who will chastise those who seek to hasten it for others in Death’s stead, who will slowly and patiently plot and sow and siphon away from the great monsters of the world. Because who are they to hasten Death’s domain, who are they to deny Death its time and its place, who are they to cut short these vital glories that illuminate it so? Who are they to presume upon its will, that is so much larger and so much longer than theirs?

Who are they to call, and presume that Death, of all beings, should obey?

A Death that is not a hunter but a gatherer, who is always and eternal, who loves you, and can afford to wait. A Death who will fight for you and defend you, who will place its hand upon those who would speed you to its embrace, who has no need to rush you, only to greet you when you call.

A Death who is kind.

And patient.

And, before all and above all,

inevitable.

There is a reason they wield a scythe, not a sword. They harvest what is ripe, not take what is still strong.

my favourite Bernini statue isn’t a real statue, but the damaged clay and straw angel that was the model for the bronze statue.

WYRM ROYAL FAMILY - ISHTAR THE FEATHERED PRINCESS

The insatiable dragoness and daughter of ANU. Queen of lust and eater of her lovers (only the great GILGAMESH was strong enough to deny her advances). So-called “goddess” of the sensual experiences, she is of the feathered wyrm subspecies inherited from her mother’s bloodline. She often walks among humans in the form of a predatory seductress. Kings and princes that she fancies are at first subject to extraordinary sensations, only to be devoured when they bore her or driven mad and their kingdoms burned to ash for her amusement.

Petulant and malicious, she is favored by her father but simultaneously undermines his rule when she wishes. Of all the spawn of ANU, she is potentially the most dangerous.

I’ve been working with my pendulum a lot lately, trying to uncover the spiritual trauma that caused me to lose my Sight/block my Sight as a young teenager. it’s been FRUSTRATING because for whatever reason, my pendulum RELIABLY gives me “I can’t tell you...” as an answer to some of my questions.

Like, it’s helped me uncover some things (that the entity that I saw last is the cause of the trauma, that some of my past life memories are also blocked by the same trauma, that the entity meant me some kind of harm, that it also delivered me an important message... and that a part of me isn’t ready to know or is afraid to know -- despite the fact that all of my conscious self very much wants those memories back.)

But god, the “I can’t Tell You” so often just makes me want to throw the darned thing across the room.
