Cannot stress tf out of the importance of discernment. Be careful of spaces or people that tend to feed and enable delusions rather than teaching how to be mindful and how to discern the mundane from the magical.

TLDR: If you practice witchcraft and/or are a pagan and also work with Mother Mary, Please DM me because I'm working on an art and research project and want to interview you.

Hello everyone! This post is a call for any type of witch, pagan, or other magical practitioner who works with Mother Mary.

I am working on an art research project about witchcraft, paganism, and Mother Mary and how/why people work with and connect to her in their magical practice. So weather you work just with Her, Her and other deities, or have some sort of syncretistic situation, I would love to hear all about it for my project. Also please reblog this so I can reach as many potential interview subjects as possible

(description under the cut bc I don't want to clog up anyone's feed with the project description)

The project: I will be casting Mary statues out of plaster and then decorating them to go with a matching mini altar based on the different ways people I talk to work with Her. I will then be writing a paper about the experience of creating this and the subject of the work.

If you decide to contact me, I will generally be asking about your history with Christianity, your methods and procedures with worship/working with her, if you incorporate other deities into your practice, and other information about your practice. You can give as much or as little information as you want. I will ask if I can directly quote our conversation in my paper, if you are uncomfortable with this and do not want to be quoted or want your quotes to be anonymous, that it completely ok. You do not need to be comfortable being quoted to participate. I am looking to publish this paper in an academic journal (if they'll take me) or on it's own public website so keep that in mind.

I am looking for personal experiences and personal gnosis! You do not need to be some sort of expert in Mariology or paganism or witchcraft!

We will first talk over tumblr to make sure you qualify for this study and then move on to a Zoom interview if you are comfortable with that or email interview (email because it is a better medium for longer responses and easier to cite and look back on than social media chats)

Thank your for reading to the end and entertaining my crazy project idea. Please message me if you would like to participate and if you know someone who might by interested please send this to them.

🕯✊🏾A Spell for BLM✊🏾🕯

Peace and healing & Justice and Protection

I wanted to do a spell to help with the protests and the Black lives matter movement so I chose to do to spell candles, meant to work together. One to bring peace and healing and the other to bring justice and protection.

Keep reading

[thirteenssonic-deactivated20201]

as a non-american, i’m not able to actively participate in the protests. as a witch though, i’ve designed some sigils for those who can!!

these can be invoked in a huge number of ways. some simple ways to use these are:

trace the sigil onto your skin with your finger

trace the sigil in the air in front of you and walk through it

draw the sigil onto your skin with a marker

draw the sigil on a piece of paper and carry it on your person

whatever method you choose, the most important thing is concentrating on the intent of the sigil (the statement written above each one) while you trace/draw.

hope someone may find these useful. stay safe, stay strong! <3

A Spell to Protect BLM Protesters

Although magic is no substitute for genuine activism, not all of us are able to attend protests, donate money, or even be outspoken about our support. This spell allows you to magically lend your energy to the cause.

What you will need: 

a sheet of white, red, or black paper

a black pen

a protection oil, a protective essential oil like myrrh or rosemary, or salt water

Performing the Ritual:

Write the words “Black Lives Matter” in the center of your paper. As you do so, visualize these words forming a connection between yourself and the protesters who are a part of the movement. 

Draw a circle around the words, moving your pen counterclockwise.

Say: “I cast protection around those protesting on behalf of the Black Lives Matter movement. They are under my protection from anyone who would do them harm or oppose their goals.”

If you work with sigils, runes, or some other kind of magical symbols, feel free to incorporate symbols for protection and power into your circle.

Take a little bit of your oil or salt water on the tip of your index finger and use it to anoint the circle at each of the four cardinal points (north, east, south, west), starting at the top of the circle and moving clockwise.

Say, “May this [oil/salt] protect those protesting on behalf of the Black Lives Matter movement. May it shield them from harm and surround them with a wall of protection and light.”

Focus your energy on the paper, and visualize the protests going on around the country right now. Focus on sending your energy to those protests to protect and support those participating.

I’m a Reiki practitioner, so when I did this spell I also incorporated a distance Reiki session to send Reiki energy to those protesting, and to add an extra layer of protection. If you practice any kind of energy work, that would be a beautiful thing to incorporate into this spell. 

If you worship any deities associated with justice, feel free to call on them during this ritual. 

Finally, if you have an altar, fold up your paper and place it on your altar once you finish the spell. Keeping the paper in a sacred space will allow it to keep receiving energy, and you can come back to pray for/send energy to protesters again in the future. 

What to do next

If you can, donate to organizations that contribute to the cause, like Black Visions Collective, Reclaim the Block, or a similar local organization. 

If you can’t donate, raise awareness on social media and in real life. (For my fellow white folks: try to focus on sharing stories from POC, rather than talking over them. Yes, we should use our privilege to raise awareness, but we should do that in a way that keeps the focus on those who are directly affected by the issue.)

IF YOU ARE ATTENDING A PROTEST, be smart and be safe. Keep your face covered, don’t talk to reporters, don’t take pictures (especially if you use iCloud!), stay the fuck away from anyone with a camera, and don’t post about it on social media. 

[ladycherri]

Hey fellow witches of Tumblr. I know we are all aware of the state of the world, and many out there who are comfortable with hexing are going to go straight to the source. I, myself, am not comfortable with this and am looking for ways to protect and support those protesting. Perhaps some kind of shield? I don't know. I can't be out there so I want to use my magic for something.

If anyone can help please let me know.

[shattered-angel789]

I'll help. Maybe we can use a shield to help trump during these hard times

[ladycherri]

Please understand I am looking to protect protestors and have no interest in protecting that man.

Tarot Spread: Getting to Know a New Deck

This is my little twist on your typical deck interview spread - it’s how I like to conceptualize meeting a deck [spirit]. It can be used to get to know a new deck, or even to get reacquainted with one you’ve had but haven’t spent much time with.

SAMHAIN MASTERPOST

When is Samhain? October 31st to November 1st. It is the halfway point between the Autumn equinox and Winter solstice!

What is Samhain? A sabbat marking the end of the harvest and the beginning of the darker half of the year. It is also a time to pay respects to and remember the dead. It is also sometimes called the “Witches New Year.”

Activities to celebrate Samhain may include, but are certainly not limited to:

Taking a nature walk to enjoy the last bits of the harvest season before the cold sets in. 

Decorating your home with seasonal decor and autumnal colors (foods of harvest like corn, acorns, pumpkins etc. make good decor)

Set up an altar to honor your ancestors 

Prepare a nice dinner and set places for those who have passed

Tell stories about those who have passed with shared loved ones 

Visit the cemetery for your own loved ones and for those who do not have anyone left who remember them

Hold a seance

Any type of divination/divinatory guidance

Join the community! No need to celebrate the entirety of the holiday with others as Samhain is probably the most private of all the Sabbats, but hosting or attending a ritual or feast can’t hurt anything.

Foods/Herbs/Spices associated with Samhain:

allspice berries

broom

catnip

mountain ash berries

mugwort

mullein

oak leaves

rosemary

sage

pine cones

straw

corn

turnips

apples

gourds

nuts

mulled Wines

beef

pork

poultry.

I hope you all have an amazing Samhain, and I also hope you are just as excited as I am for the new season!
