☾ Welcome! You can call me Tay (ze/zem/zir). This is a sideblog; I follow from @illusionremember.
✩ Witchcraft & magical studies. Animist & agnostic, but lately drawn to Germanic & Celtic paganism, with cross-cultural study.
✩ Deeply interested in literature, cultural history, & the arts; this heavily influences how I think about witchcraft. I'm a storyteller & writer. Studied art history for a while, will geek out about architecture. Interested in science, but no expertise.
✩ Art, stories, symbolism, & metaphor are tools for creating and conveying meaning; I group magic with these — a language for communicating with the universe, the spirit, and each other.
✩ For me, witchcraft & magic are a spiritual practice & a mental discipline. I'm re-establishing my practice after a long break. Thought having a space to see what other people are up to and share some of my own thoughts would help stimulate my practice.

✧ Kindness first. Always. ✧ Always be open to learning. ✧ We are not beholden to singular interpretations or traditions. ✧ Humans are animals and are inherently part of the natural world. ✧ Magic & Ritual as the bridge between nature and culture, the physical and the imagination, the mundane and the spiritual. ✧ Pro-reworking, blending, & creating new traditions, and pro-understanding and respecting cultural origins, contexts, and peoples. ✧ Pro-critical thinking, inclusivity, restorative justice, scientific reasoning, & historical context. Staunchly anti-racist.
