If you’re having to cite a literal fascist to justify your mystical views and your magick and your witchcraft, your mysticism is trash and your practice is trash and you’re trash and you know what we do with trash.

whenever i see a girl complaining abt her shitty boyfriend and she says that “guys are just like that!” i’m always so sad, because i know girls that are in happy and healthy romantic relationships with men! having a crappy, horrible boyfriend is not something that’s inevitable if you like men. if a man isn’t fulfilling your needs or if he’s simply just a piece of crap, you don’t have to stay in a relationship with him. not to be cliché, but not all men are like that!!! if your man ain’t shit, find a better one!!! it’ll all be alright, please realise and admit to yourself that you deserve better, and that better is out there!!! you need to put yourself first.

if Broadway doesn’t want bootlegs floating around then they need to get their act together and make legal recordings.  you can say all you want that theater is meant to be enjoyed live, but the fact of the matter is not everybody can get to NYC to go to a Broadway show.  not everybody can afford to take the time off of work and buy a plane ticket to NYC and buy a night in a hotel AND get the ticket to the show.  people want to see the shows, that’s why there’s a bootleg market in the first place, but it’s unreasonable to expect that everyone has the time, money, and ability to make it out to the one place in the world to see something on Broadway, especially if it’s a limited engagement.  so record that shit, slap some subtitles on it, and sell it so we can buy it legally.

Reblogging this every time I see it. Copyright is important for creators but it should not support cultural elitism. Affordability and accessibility of cultural content is key unless we want to live in a very divided society.

High-functioning anxiety sounds like…

You’re not good enough. You’re a bad friend. You’re not good at your job. You’re wasting time. You’re a waste of time. Your boyfriend doesn’t love you. You’re so needy. What are you doing with yourself? Why would you say that? What if they hate it? Why can’t you have your shit together? You’re going to get anxious and because you’re going to get anxious, you’re going to mess everything up. You’re a fraud. Just good at faking it. You’re letting everybody down. No one here likes you.

All the while, it appears perfectly calm.

It’s always looking for the next outlet, something to channel the never-ending energy. Writing. Running. List-making. Mindless tasks (whatever keeps you busy). Doing jumping jacks in the kitchen. Dancing in the living room, pretending it’s for fun, when really it’s a choreographed routine of desperation, trying to tire out the thoughts stuck in your head.

Stop teaching children that there is only one person out there meant for them. Let it be easier for people to let their toxic relationships go without fear of losing “The One”.

White people and people who practice eurocentric traditions: fucking realize saying shit like animal sacrifice isn’t real magic and real witches don’t summon demons is fucking racist

Brujas y brujos and other magical practitioners esp those in Africana traditions have ALWAYS worked with the spirits of the dead and animal parts and animal sacrifice and your fucking earth-centered European traditions aren’t suddenly somehow more valid and the only forms of magical systems and witchcraft that exist

To use those practices as a punch line to make yours seem more valid or to say witches who do those things don’t exist is fucking racist AS HELL and problematic

[latenighton]

Does anyone else love bad weather? Like the kind that’s loud and dark and draws attention to its self like pounding rain drops and thunder and lightning that seems just so close. And you can sit near a window and it’s dark outside and maybe you’ve got a candle lit or a lamp and it’s so warm inside and you’re wearing you’re favourite sweater and watching a good show or reading a good book and it’s beautiful outside the rain and the clouds and the sound of it all and you’re just so content and cosy and happy

good morning don’t fucking use essential oils around your pets especially birds and reptiles and cats spraying your pet with diluted lavender isn’t going to antioxidize them or whatever stupid bullshit you pulled off a holistic website

[dirt-syrup]

There are SOME essential oils that are safe for pets but many that can and WILL injure or kill your pet. Do your damn research just like you would for yourself

[justnoodlefishthings]

There are NO essential oils safe for your pets.

I did my research. I am a biochemist.

Essential oils are concentrated extracts, which are highly volatile. Their fumes are full of phenols, monoterpene hydrocarbons, phenylpropanes, and ketones. These compounds are toxic and can cause serious illness and death through extended exposure.

Let’s take a popular one: lavender oil. The active ingredient in essential lavender oil is linaool. Linaool is a cytotoxin, it destroys cell membranes. Inhaled and placed on skin, it can cause permanent damage.

“but what if you dilute it?”

Dilution won’t work. Long time exposure of a diluted toxin will result in the same damage as short term exposure of a concentrated one. Ingesting small amounts of radioactive material over time will give me the same cancer a gamma burst would. And if you dilute it extensively, you’re basically removing any effect you desired of the oil.

There’s no reason to use essential oils around pets. They make calming supplements that aren’t volatile and toxic. They make calming pheramone diffusers. If your animal is destructive (like a plucking parrot) then they’re understimulated and bored. Spritzing your pet with dangerous oils aren’t a substitute for reassessing and changing husbandry.

PSA about Cascarilla Powder

It is really annoying to me that people (especially a lot of white witches that I’m seeing atm) think just grinding up eggshells is all you need to make cascarilla powder

Newsflash: it’s not

And I really wish you those of who don’t even practice brujeria or hoodoo or anything of the sort would stop using the damn word and just say “eggshell powder” or something else instead bc what your making is NOT cascarilla powder

It just annoys me alot like can you fucking not if you don’t even know how to properly make it because your powder isn’t going to do jack shit

it’s like the blind leading the damn blind Jesus fucking Christ

If you can’t even do the research to learn how to properly make it why even bother touching it it’d be better suited for your damn house plants then for magical use

At that point it’s not cascarilla powder

I will get off of my soap box now but as a bruja this has been annoying the hell out of me and it needed to be said

[heartmindalignedspirit]

I KEEP SAYING THIS!!!

[faery-b0mb]

And yet you don’t even tell us what it’s made of or how to make it? I’m not buying it. Call me skeptical. But I’d like a source

[witch-vomit-deactivated20190906]

A bruja who has been taught through family and practices rootwork for ages: hey guys you’re using something wrong from a practice you don’t belong to and appropriating it can you stop

Multiple other practitioners of similar practices: yes I agree that’s not cascarilla powder

You, an absolute fucking dingdong with fingers in their ears: what??? what is reading comprehension?? Theres a source right here but I need a source??? Huh??? im not buying it

Why the fuck should I have to explain to you how to make it??? So your Wiccan ass can go ahead and continue to appropriate it?¿?¿? Why the fuck would you even want to touch or use it if you’re Wiccan and you literally have to clean the egg shells with purified spiritual water like Holy Water and fucking PRAY over the god damn powder and actually FIX THE DAMN THING?? An egg is a fucking SPONGE. it literally ABSORBS energy this is literally basic knowledge for brujos bc we use them for limpias. Why would you not clean it?! Like straight up it has NOTHING to do with y'alls traditions get out of here with that culture vulture bullshit

Like I said

IF YOU CAN’T EVEN DO THE RESEARCH YOURSELF WHEN YOU CAN EASILY GOOGLE POSTS FROM ACTUAL BRUJOS ONLINE ABOUT IT, DON’T TOUCH IT. IT’S NOT THAT HARD.

Carajo me cago en tu fucking madre yall need to be worshipping google gdi

Like again…..Y'all can use eggshell powder however the fuck y'all want but don’t call it cascarilla bc it’s not the same!!!!

[afrocentric-divination]
