CAREER WITCHES

I want to know what everyone does for a living and how you incorporate your magic into that. I’ll go first. I work as a caregiver for the elderly. I use my magic for health and sleep work in secret. For example, I draw a sleep sigil on one couple’s suede-type blanket every day i make their bed because they mentioned they haven’t been sleeping well lately.

I want to meet a beautician who brushes beauty spells into clients hair!

I want to meet a construction worker who enchants the foundation of a new house!

Lets see some good people!

stormbornwitch

I’m a teacher so I incorporate quite a few spells into my work. Some examples are:

✨Spells to aid in communication so that my voice carries clearly to my students.

✨Sigils embedded into PowerPoints and other activities to help my students focus

✨Spells to help me maintain the energy levels needed to consistently deliver fun and engaging lessons.

✨Glamours which portray a friendly and calm facade to discourage parents from taking out their frustration on me. This is also great for getting students to open up to you about any problems they may be having at school or at home.

✨Protection spells for my students who come from troubled households.

✨Study spells around exam time for the students who haven’t bothered to study until the week of the test and calming spells for my overachieving students who stress that they will not get a high enough grade.

I wonder how many teaching witches are out there… 🦉

Used to sometimes put a little magic into cocktails for the customers I liked when I worked at a bar. Little luck boosts, stuff like that. Occasionally little hexes for the real jerk customers. Had a few real good tip-boosting charms too. Not really sure what I can magic effectively at my new job. It’s manufacturing, so very different, and my style doesn’t generally weave smoothly into machinery (plus I’m in QC, so I’m not even *making* the stuff, just inspecting it to make sure it’s the right size/shape/material/smoothness/etc). I’m sure I’ll figure something out eventually though.

jaysbookofshadows

Working in an office, I have sigils on post it notes in various places to help me communicate clearly and have my voice heard. I also try to keep the energy around my desk clean and inviting so people feel like they can approach me with questions or concerns. If I have a day alone in the office, I'll clear the energy around desks of those I know need a little boost from the stress of the job. I also keep charms around my desk, guardians and such, and also enchant my hand sanitizer for good health!

👏 Stop👏Romanticizing👏Persephone 👏And 👏 Hades 👏 Relationship 👏

crypticbeliever123

The older versions of the myth actually suggest she went to the Underworld willingly and chose to stay to get away from her mother. Some of the oldest myths don’t even include Hades in the story but rather have Persephone go down to tend to the miserable souls she heard in the ground without Hades even interacting with her.

cthonisprincess

There is no “pre-patriarchal” version of the Persephone myth where she rules the Underworld on her own and Hades isn’t present.

Please stop spreading this crap and misinforming people.

Persephone was however, empowered by her marriage to Hades. Placing her in a pre-patriarchal context, devoid of her greatest challenges and triumphs REDUCES her agency as a goddess and a feminist figure.

crypticbeliever123

Who said pre-patriarchal? Because I sure didn’t. I’m just saying there are older versions of the myth such as the ones listed on this site:

http://tehomet.net/persephone.html

I’m not trying to misinform people. I’m trying to inform people of older versions of the myth they, much like yourself, might be unaware of. And seriously, pre-patriarchal? I literally never said that, nor have I ever used that term before now. But yeah, sure, go ahead and use that word all you like. Not like a version of the story where she became the badass queen of the Underworld all on her own without needing a man behind her makes her even more of a feminist figure as opposed to someone who was empowered BY her relationship to a MAN.

cthonisprincess

*Facepalms*

Oh wow, you read a website.

Now can you tell me the ancient sources that this story is referring to. Or at least some sources that are peer-reviewed and written by Classics PhDs.

The only source that states a “Persephone wonders down to the Underworld” tale is written by Charlene Spretnak in 1992 who, by her own admission, rewrote the myths so that her four year old daughter could read them and gain an interest in mythology. The tale is in itself a beautiful tale, but is a modern invention.

The actual tale of “Hades and Persephone” is found in Hesiod’s Theogony and The Homeric Hymn To Demeter.

Persephone’s empowerment came from the fact that her husband loved her so much that, despite living in a patriarchal society, he ensured that the would be his equal in everything. Besides this, the tale was written for women as it details the struggles that women faced then.

Persephone was quite often the goddess that many would call upon for aid. The tale of Orpheus is an excellent example of how they ruled together and made decisions together, with Persephone being able to persuade him to change his mind.

Hades and Persephone’s marriage was the ideal for the time and were often portrayed on the vases given to newlyweds. The were always portrayed as having loving, supportive marriage and he was the only major god that never had an affair (don’t believe that Roman bullshit).

myidiocyiscontagious

Alright well, what I was talking about was the versions where Hades kidnaps his niece, bribes Zeus to not do anything, and Persephone is sad and depressed and only gets to see her mother, who she loves dearly, for half the year every year.

I wasn’t aware of the actual marriage they’re said to have had, which gave them happiness. It still makes me salty that people assumes she LOVES him though. She doesn’t feel towards him romantically, but their marriage is strong from m their partnership.

cthonisprincess

Zeus was not, quote, “bribed” not to do anything. In fact, everything that Hades did in the myth was legal.

Ancient Athenian wedding preparations began under cover of night with the bride being ‘abducted’ to the groom’s house in a chariot. The groom would give the bride gifts, and the families would feast together. During the ceremony, the bride would eat a piece of fruit given to her by her husband, typically an apple or pomegranate, to signify that her needs were now going to be provided for by her husband. Later, after the ceremony, the marriage was consummated.

In the myths, Zeus had earlier promised Hades his choice of wife since he was given the Underworld as his lot. Hades desired Persephone as his bride and arranges the marriage with Persephone’s father.

He presents a gift to her (the narcissus flower in the field of Nysa) and after Persephone accepts it by pulling it from the earth, he takes her into his chariot to bring her with him to her new home.

He gives her further honours once she gets to the Underworld to show his commitment and love for her Persephone eats pomegranate seeds given to her by Hades, signifying that she is bound to Hades as his wife.

Scholars believe that it was after the seeds, that Hades and Persephone consummated the marriage before Persephone went to see Demeter to assure her that she was all right.

The stretch of time between Kore’s transformation into Persephone is anywhere from a couple months to a year in the hymn— nine days between Demeter’s search and finding out from Hecate and Helios that Aidoneus had carried away her daughter, and the few months to a year she spends in Eleusis at her newly-built temple the Telesterion refusing to speak with the Olympians.

Even when Persephone is recounting her stay to her mother, she says nothing about ravishment, or rape, or seduction. Not a single word, whereas the writers would have made that abundantly clear in other texts about the abductions of other women. Basically there is no real evidence that she was ill-treated, abused, raped or in general badly treated by Hades; in fact, the HHTD directly mentions that Persephone was a guest of honour in Hades’ household.

Hades gets the bad rap in modern society even though he was the only Greek god who remained faithful to his wife because he became a Satan analogue after the rise of Christian monotheism and trinitarianism.

The original myth was a warning parable and morality tale of sorts, meant for its ancient audience… a morality parable that no longer resonates with modern society because women are no longer the property of their father or husband.

The moral of the story is this: you should respect and consult with your wife and speak with your daughter before marrying her off, otherwise life at home will be a living hell, not just for the father, but also the new husband.

Demeter makes Zeus’ life very difficult because he did not consult her in his choice of husband for Persephone. She sends a blight on all of Zeus’ worshippers until he fixes what he did without her consent.

Likewise, Persephone unwittingly accepted the marriage proposal of Hades without knowing that she had been given to him and resisted being taken away to be his wife. However, once she realizes how genuine Hades’ love is for her, as seen when he gives her the gift of equality in both rulership and marriage, as well as a portion of his own timai (honor) the honor bestowed upon him by mortals, she comes to the decision to accept the pomegranate seeds, thereby accepting his offer as a husband. The acceptance of the seeds in myth is a code for sexual intercourse since this was the last gift offering by the groom before consummating his marriage with the bride.

Once Persephone is with Demeter again, she lies about the pomegranate seeds, telling her mother that Hades ‘forced’ her to eat them, though we already know that all he did was slip her the pomegranate and she accepted in secret before she was about to be taken away.

This is despite the fact that Hades gave her the chance to leave and never have to see her again and well, she had plenty of reasons to accept his marriage.

Intriguingly enough, there are Ancient sources that support Persephone loving Hades.

Virgil, Georgics 1. 36 ff (trans. Fairclough) (Roman bucolic C1st B.C.)

“Tartarus hopes not for you [Caesar in the guise of Hades] as king, and may such monstrous lust of empire never seize you, though Greece is enchanted by the Elysian fields, and Proserpine reclaimed cares not to follow her mother.”

–> Persephone prefers to stay with Hades than returning to her mother.

Ovid, Metamorphoses, X:

Orpheus singing to Hades and Persephone:

“If able, I would bear it, I do not deny my effort—but the god of Love has conquered me—a god so kindly known in all the upper world. We are not sure he can be known so well in this deep world, but have good reason to conjecture he is not unknown here, and if old report almost forgotten, that you stole your wife is not a fiction, Love united you the same as others.”

–> Just like in Metamorphoses V, love is shown as something that unites two persons. More specifically, it is directly mentioned by Orpheus that Hades and Persephone are united in love.

Lucan, Pharsalia, VI:

The witch Erichtho calls upon the Underworld deities to allow her to bring back a dead person.

“…to Persephone who shuns her mother in heaven…”

“… I shall tell the world the nature of that food which confines Persephone beneath the huge weight of earth, the bond of love that unites her to the gloomy king of night, and the defilement she suffered, such that her mother would not call her back.”

–> Persephone is directly mentioned to have a dislike towards her mother, Demeter, and is specifially mentioned to have a bond of love with Hades. The so-called ‘defilement’ is a direct reference to the pomegrante and the loss of her virginity (In that time period, a virgin having sex was referred to as “defilement”).

Claudian, Rape of Proserpina

The brief summary of this is that while Hades is taking Persephone to the Underworld, a terrified Persephone cries and laments her fate. But Hades feels genuine remorse for the fact that he had to abduct her and comforts Persephone by wiping away her tears and swearing to her a good marriage. Immediately after this happens, Hades is no longer a gloomy and frightening figure to Persephone but is instead a cheerful and kind god. Persephone immediately perks up once she is aware of her situation (she is simply getting married), and a beautiful and joyful wedding is held at the underworld.

It’s a shame that Claudian never managed to finish his tale because it’s a beautiful take and directly hints at the fact that Hades and Persephone had children as this theme is brought up several times.

Lucian’s Dialogues of the dead

A man asks Hades permission to go back to life and he refuses constantly until Persephone gives a suggestion. Persephone addresses Hades as “my husband” and he says “Since it’s Persephone’s pleasure (I grant the favor)” or “I cannot refuse a lady”.

–> Despite the short dialogue, we can easily see that Hades and Persephone are depicted as possessing a peaceful marriage and are presented as a couple who rule with equal power, unlike the dialogues of Zeus and Hera where she actually cries for the things Zeus does to her (cheating).

And we can see generally, from the vase paintings or other texts (like Aristophanes Frogs) that the Greeks were in the belief that Hades and Persephone marriage was ideal. And in several religious cults, and in some cities, they would be the divine parallel of what an ideal marriage should be.

In the depictions (literary, artistic, etc.) where Hades and Persephone are shown together, they are always shown to be happy. Persephone is never portrayed as a miserable wife and Hades is never portrayed as a cruel husband. Hades and Persephone were idealized by ancient Greek women themselves.

It’s Hades and Persephone, not Zeus and Hera, who were depicted on pottery given to newlyweds. The fact that Persephone was much more prominent as a happily married queen, rather than the actual goddess of marriage, speaks volumes to how this story was thought about and regarded by the culture that owned it.

emergency tarot reading commissions

I’m struggling heavily with finances right now — I have roughly $58 to last me until I get paid next week, but my car insurance is due at the end of this week and is around $100. I have to buy gas and my depression medication today which will leave me at around $40.

I also owe around $300 in federal/state taxes, which I can’t afford as I live paycheck to paycheck and all of my money goes to bills, groceries, or gas.

I’m offering emergency tarot card readings, $3 for a 3 card spread, $6 for a 6 card spread, and $10 for a ten card spread. I have two tarot decks that I use — one that is fat themed and based on the four elements, and another that follows the traditional tarot set up. If there’s a specific spread that you want (I have many reblogged in my “tarot” tag) feel free to request one and I can adjust the price accordingly.

If you’d like a reading, please message me on my main blog zuyashaa or on this blog. Once we’ve discussed what kind of reading you’d like (and if you have a deck preference), I’ll give you my email to send me a PayPal payment.

Readings include photos of the spread and each card, along with a written explanation, and if you want I can put them in a PDF for you and email it to you, or post it on this blog for you.

I hate asking for help like this but have no one to turn to for financial help, and I don’t want to ask for donations without offering something in return. If you can afford a reading and would like one, I would truly appreciate the help. If you can’t then a reboot would be greatly appreciated as well! Thank you so much for taking the time to read. ❤️

support a witch through her surgery

hello wonderful witches,

i’ve made one post before about the financial complications i’m facing as a result of a large, grapefruit sized ovarian cyst that needs to be removed. my surgery is scheduled for april 16th, after which i will need to take 2 weeks off of work for recovery. neither one of my jobs offers paid sick time due to a legal loophole, so i am left with no supplemental income during my recovery.

i recently updated my shop with new items i’ve been working on, including grimoires, herbal booklets, and herbal ritual blends for as little as $3. every single item in my shop is under $10. if you are able to help in any way, i would appreciate it so much.

why wouldnt non natives only be able to use white sage bought from native people in your opinion??? its literally a plant that also grows in the wild. I literally have some that grows in my backyard. NO ONE owns the earth but the earth herself and her creatures and plants and dirt. you gonna make it so we can't have feathers either because natives used feathers also in their culture? sorry but i use freely what the earth gives to me

I’m ok with it, personally, as long it’s bought from natives.

But you? You’re not allowed anymore. You can’t touch anything. Specifically YOU, Anon.

Because you literally cannot fathom the idea that we may have been using a plant for THOUSANDS of years, were banned from touching our traditions by people who stole OUR land (not fucking your’s, colonizer), and now the plant is SO fucking over harvested due to shitty non-natives. Which is why many native people don’t want to let y’all touch sage.

Also you spouted that bullshit “no one owns it” bullshit. Y’all only pull this out on native people when we draw a boundary. Never on the colonizers that murdered us and stole our land.

Now get out of my inbox.
