This blog is for kitchen witchery (my focus is on herbs and fruit at the moment), moon magic, and reality shifting. I do paid spells and divination.

My DM’s and askbox are open for other questions and advice.

Do no harm, take no shit, and let those blessings be! <3

One of my witch besties clowned on me earlier today for wearing dyed glass jewelry instead of real crystals. Girl I’m not wearing genuine crystals as my daily jewelry just for them to fade in the sun. My real crystals are tumbled and in my bra

a neutral reminder that while being a hater can be a fun indulgence you can never find long term happiness by spending your time constantly hating on things and you can’t make long term friends if the only thing you have in common is something you both dislike; you need to love and be passionate about things. being petty gets old. you need to be a lover too

The role of beliefs in shifting based on the survey of people who shift on command + personal hypothesis

1) Beliefs: not everything, but a lever among others

Many people claim that believing = shifting. However, according to the survey, the average response regarding the importance of beliefs is around 3/5. This number is very significant and challenges some common assumptions in the community:

→ It shows that beliefs are seen as important, but not sufficient or omnipotent.

My personal hypothesis:

Beliefs would act more like an amplifier or a stabilizer → but not as the sole trigger of the shift.

25% of people say the moment they shift is unpredictable.

2) Mindset and belief ≠ same thing

Some people in my data report having shifted without an "ideal" mindset , that’s powerful.

This breaks several common myths:

❌ "You have to be positive"

❌ "You need a high level of faith or confidence"

❌ "You need to know it’s going to work"

And instead confirms this:

✅ Shifting can occur in calm or neutral emotional states, even sad or tired ones, if they allow enough letting go.

✅ Belief is not synonymous with control , it’s not a remote control.

People who are ultra-rational or have a highly active critical mind are not always at a disadvantage.Those with mental flexibility, cognitive plasticity, and an ability to enter altered states seem to be the most likely to shift easily.Even if it’s not an absolute rule, it seems helpful ,maybe working on your mental structures through, for example, meditation, new activities, and learning to let go of ego, could support shifting far more than precise methods or repeated affirmations.

More than 50% of people who shift on command rated the importance of their beliefs at 3 or lower.

3) Role of the unconscious and neuroplasticity

My results , especially those showing successful shifts among people with strong inner dialogue, hypervigilance, or dissociative mechanisms , suggest that:

The unconscious might be more important than conscious belief.

It's a matter of mental architecture, not just conscious willpower.

People who are ultra-rational or have a highly active critical mind are not always at a disadvantage.

Those with mental flexibility, cognitive plasticity, and an ability to enter altered states seem to be the most likely to shift easily.

Even if it’s not an absolute rule, it seems helpful , maybe working on your mental structures through, for example, meditation, new activities, and learning to let go of ego , could support shifting far more than precise methods or repeated affirmations.

58% of people report a strong, constant inner dialogue,showing that having a highly critical mind is not necessarily an obstacle to shifting.

Only 25% say they do not naturally experience altered states of consciousness.

4) Belief ≠ pure autosuggestion.

Tumblr or TikTok discourse often pushes the idea to the extreme that

“what you believe becomes real,” like:

“If you assume you’ve shifted, then it’s done.”

But my study shows:

Some people “assumed” and nothing happened.

Others didn’t assume anything consciously… and still shifted accidentally.

(Many say that shifting happens unpredictably or that they feel like they are pulled into a reality sometimes without their conscious consent.)

This suggests:

Shifting seems to operate on a deeper level than verbal or mental assumption.

It’s about creating internal coherence between perception, emotion, and the unconscious , not just repeating “I shifted.”

Testimony from an anonymous shifter #1

In response to the question:

“Have you ever shifted without control, script, or intention ,and if so, describe the experience.”

The feeling? Uh, I guess it was a little exciting, but also unsettling.

I knew I could always shift back for safety, so I wasn’t TOO worried, but it felt weird. Basically, I just asked to shift anywhere, I didn’t care where. So I ended up shifting to early 1900s London. At first, I thought I was in Peaky Blinders but I’m not sure, I didn’t stay long.It was very disorienting, since I had no digital devices and none of the safety nets scripting usually gives. So after the first day, I left. Normally I include spells etc. in my script, but this time I just went for it blindly. I looked totally different, and people treated me differently too. It was a weird moment, so I don’t remember much, but I do remember it felt really strange. The best way I can describe it is like sitting in a speeding car with no seatbelt.

Anonymous testimony #2

Sometimes, I wake up in realities that are neither planned nor intended. They’re usually alternate realities (though they vary a lot , sometimes completely different from here). When that happens, I think it’s in that moment that I need time to remember that I’ve shifted and that it’s not my “original” or desired reality. Sometimes it happens when I intend to change, sometimes even when I don’t. These realities feel just as normal as any other.

5) Belief as internal permission

My survey suggests that beliefs:

– Don’t necessarily trigger the shift.

– But they can remove mental blocks, like an unconscious green light.

Belief then becomes a kind of permission granted to oneself to leave CR (current reality).

6) Ego: an unstable variable in shifting

Many shifters say they "believe", that they are "ready", that they "think they can do it"... but they still don’t shift.

Why? One hypothesis comes back:

– The ego believes it wants to, but another part of the self doesn’t follow.

This joins a central idea:

the gap between the conscious mind (ego) and the deeper structures of the brain or the unconscious.

The ego says "I want to shift", but:

– it tries to control

– it fears "losing control"

– it clings to rigid methods or ideals

– it sees failure as a personal threat

Consequence? The more the ego takes over the process, the more it becomes a personal value test, and the less the brain can let go.

7) Advanced hypotheses on beliefs and ego

✴ Here are some hypotheses based on my data + shared experiences:

– Shifting is easier when the ego fades or falls asleep. → This explains shifts under hypnosis, drowsiness, substances, or moments of mental emptiness.

– Cognitive overload seems blocked. → Overthinking "if it works", "if I believe enough" strengthens the ego and self-identification = cr self.

– Useful belief is passive, almost silent. → It’s a "I allow myself", not an "I must prove".

Only 16% of people say they have a very anchored identity in this reality.

8)The role of the unconscious

Beliefs don’t seem to be only mental.

They also live in the body, in emotions, and in unconscious associations.

For example:

A person may consciously believe "I can shift"...but unconsciously associate shifting with fear of disappearing, failure, or loneliness.

(I believe working gently on unconscious beliefs without ego could really help the process, especially through hypnosis or meditation.)

And the opposite:

A person may say "I don’t fully believe it"

...but their unconscious is ready, emotions calm, imagination aligned, and boom, it works.

→ That explains accidental shifts.

They bypass the ego, will, and conscious contradictions.

9) Emotion as an unconscious trigger

My poll reveals that emotional state has more impact than stated belief.

And not in the sense of "you have to be happy."

On the contrary:

→ Gentle sadness, calm solitude, or even fatigue can sometimes open more doors than excitement or euphoria.

Why?

– Because these states are:

• Low in mental agitation

• High in receptivity

• Associated with a temporary dissolution of the ego

These are not “positive” emotions that facilitate shifting,

but low-resistance mental states. (This isn’t universal , emotional relationships and other factors may come into play!)

10) Conscious belief vs unconscious belief

Many think that "strong belief" or "assuming" is enough.

But my poll shows:

– some people shift without consciously believing

– others don’t shift despite great faith

This strengthens an important idea:

→ The body and unconscious believe differently.

It’s not about repeating or affirming,

but about allowing the inner self to feel total permission.

We could say:

→ Conscious belief = intention, verbal discourse

→ Unconscious belief = inner climate, deep coherence. And that second level is more decisive.

The majority of people seem to think that breathing and meditation are the things that helped them shift most easily, perhaps because ego detachment is greater during those times?

Anonymous quotes from the survey, translated:

“I believe that if I fail, it’s because I didn’t really want to shift.”

→ This shows that conscious will isn’t enough, and that non-shifting can be a form of unconscious protection (or other factors).

“I often shift when everything turns black and I come back here without understanding.”

→ Dissociation + total mental release = favorable state.

“I’m tired, too many thoughts, but sometimes I shift anyway.”

→ Proof that mental chaos doesn’t always prevent shifting. It’s not an exact science.

12) Shifting = co-creation + subconscious alignment

A new hypothesis that could emerge from my post:

What if shifting isn’t a controlled creation (as some claim),

but a co-creation with a vaster unconscious part of us?→ A part of us knows how to do it.

But our ego, our analytical mind, our inner tensions... prevent this natural process.

So:

→ Conscious belief is a key

→ But emotional and subconscious alignment is the doorway

Emotional stade reported after shifting

What if belief were just an access code?

Maybe:

→ Conscious belief is a password for the unconscious

→ But if it’s not deeply accepted, it’s like an incorrect code

→ You can believe with your mouth, but if the body says “no” (through fear, tension, or deeper doubt), nothing happens.

If belief were enough, half of us would have shifted years ago.The true doorway might lie deeper,in the body, the unconscious, and the subtle state of emotional surrender.

A quick way to do glamour spells on-the-go would be to bring a pocket mirror with you and draw a sigil or symbol that coordinates with you intention on the mirror over your reflection using chapstick, oils, or just tracing the sign with your finger. You can also say a short incantation over it to strengthen the spell.

things i realised after shifting

— There was no “oh my god i shifted” moment. it all felt very natural to me. You’ve existed in your dr since forever, your ‘cr’ mind doesn’t take over when you shift, hence why it’s so natural when you shift.

— There’s no right way to shift. I’ve shifted in different ways (sleep paralysis, lucid dreaming, just simply thinking about being there etc). You can shift in any way you like. my last shift i simply went to bed and it happened! Don’t get caught up with worrying if you’re doing the right thing and go with the flow.

— You most likely shift by allowing yourself to do it and not forcing it. That’s why people are more likely to shift on accident and not when they’re forcing it because there’s no pressure. You have either shifted or not. Decide you have and trust yourself.

— It’s the easiest thing in the world because you do it all the time. When you shift back it’s like “wait it’s that easy?”. Yes, you don’t need to affirm 500 times, visualise, meditate. It’s simply just deciding you are there and trusting yourself.

If youse have any questions please let me know <3

Your consciousness is not in your body. Your body is in your consciousness.

You are not in your reality. Your reality is in your consciousness.

You are not within time or space. Space and time are ideas within your consciousness.

[ogprettyprincess]

your reality is in your consciousness.

[ishifttoplacesiprobablyshouldnt]

yeah some people don’t believe in reality shifting but some people also don’t believe women can orgasm so I stopped trusting other peoples opinions a long time ago

[lillith-shifts]

I forget people don’t believe that even though there’s a lot of proof otherwise. I’m saying this about both parts

[hrrtshape-deactivated20250705]

Hey girly girl, how to shift? Like, I can't reach the void state, so that's out. Methods don't work for me, cause I get frustrated and roll over to sleep. Manifesting IDK IT TAKES AGES... and affirming there my thoughts drift off.. and rn I am unmotivated to shift when I try, but I rlly do WANT to go home. ☹️

　　　　　how to shift : your all-in-one guide 　　　　　　(the only things you have to know…ever!)

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　ּ   　*　 ˖ 　 ་

— ok first of all, deep breath. shifting is not as elusive as it feels right now, i promise. it’s not some mythical beast you’re trying to tame; it’s more like inviting a very old friend into your space. shifting is already yours. you just have to grab it like a divine right. because it is   .  ་  ˖ 

i , what even is shifting? shifting is the art of moving your consciousness from one reality to another. it’s not magic, it’s not luck, it’s just focus and belief wrapped in a little cosmic bow. think of it like choosing which movie to watch. you’re the one holding the remote.

ii , forget the void for a sec : the void state is not the only way, nor is it the end-all-be-all. think of it like one specific door in a house with infinite entrances. if the void’s being dramatic, just walk around it. shifting doesn’t need that kind of fanfare. you can shift in any state: sleepy, frustrated, even mid-yawn.

iii , methods, shmethods : methods are tools, not rules. if you’re trying one and it’s not vibing with you, ditch it! think of methods as cute little recipes; if you don’t like what you’re cooking, toss in your own spices. and guess what? you don’t even need a method. your intention is the main character here, and everything else is just the supporting cast.

iv , manifesting doesn’t have to take ages : manifesting isn’t about sitting there like a monk waiting for enlightenment. it’s like planting seeds: you plant them, you water them, and then you trust the sun to do its thing. start small. affirm gently. even a passing thought like, “ugh, i’m so over this reality” is a mini-manifestation in itself. you’re building the vibe brick by brick.

v , affirmations are your sneaky little sidekick : if your thoughts drift, let them. you’re not running a military bootcamp in your brain. affirmations work even when you’re distracted because they’re sneaky like that. say them casually, like you’re humming a song. “i’m already there” or “it’s happening now.” keep it simple and breezy.

vi , unmotivation nation… we’ve all been there : listen, shifting doesn’t demand motivation; it demands surrender. the kind of surrender that’s like, “ok, universe, you win. take me where i need to go.” you’re allowed to rest in the in-between. you’re allowed to feel blah. you’re allowed to be human and divine at the same time.

vii , you already want it? guess what. it’s yours : wanting to go home is half the battle won. the desire is your proof. it’s like your reality is already calling you, whispering your name through the veil. stop thinking of it as trying and start thinking of it as returning. you don’t try to breathe, do you? you just breathe. shifting is the same.

꒰ basic steps, simplified :

◞ set your intention : decide where you’re going and get crystal clear about it. script it out if that helps.

◞ prepare your space : make your environment cozy. this isn’t mandatory, but it helps set the mood.

◞ choose a method or freehand it : julia method, raven method, bla bla bla method, affirming till you fall asleep, visualising, just vibing, it’s all valid.

◞ focus or daydream : picture your DR, feel it, or simply say, “i’m already home.”

◞ surrender : let go of the pressure. relax into the process. let the universe work its magic.

꒰ some final tips :

◞ romanticise the process : make shifting feel dreamy, not stressful. light a candle, sip some tea, wear your favourite socks. vibe check your environment.

◞ detach from the outcome : this isn’t a college exam; you don’t need an a+ in shifting. let the energy flow.

◞ sleepy shifting is underrated : drifting off with your DR in mind? chef’s kiss.

◞ turn frustration into power : that “uuuugh why isn’t it working” energy? channel it into something fierce. you’re the god of your reality. act like it.

that's it. that's literally it. you don't need ANYTHING else except your mind. bam.

remember, you’re not chasing shifting. you’re already holding hands with it, swaying gently in the wind like a little cosmic dance. shifting isn’t something you achieve; it’s something you allow. you’re the prophet of your own life, the controller of the sands. so go forth, messiah in training, and shift like the world is your oyster. because it is.

[shiftthemoon]

reality shifting isn’t hard. you’ve been told it’s hard because everyone’s too scared to admit it’s not. they cling to their 800-step methods, their must-have crystals, their perfect conditions because they think that if they let go of that control, they’ll fail. but here’s the thing: the more you try to control the process, the more you convince yourself it’s out of your control. and that’s the problem. that’s why so many people feel stuck. shifting isn’t some big, far-fetched thing. it’s just you. it’s always been you.

we’re conditioned to think we’re powerless. think about it—school, work, society, all of it drills this idea into us that everything has to be proven, earned, validated. so, when you hear about shifting, your brain freaks out and says, wait, wait, this is too easy, this can’t be real. and then you spiral. you overcomplicate it. you make yourself think you need the “perfect” script, the “right” subliminal, or that you have to meditate for three hours while the stars align perfectly. like, no… you don’t. all of that? it’s fluff. it’s noise.

at its core, shifting is belief. just belief. no, really, let that sink in. you don’t need to “do” belief perfectly. it’s not something you master through sheer willpower. it’s something you already have. you’ve believed in things your whole life. you believed in gravity without needing proof. you believe your favorite songs are beautiful without needing to explain why. belief is natural. it’s effortless when you stop overthinking it. that’s the energy you need to bring to shifting—trust. trust that your mind knows what it’s doing, and that if you let it, it will take you there. every single extra thing you pile on? the overthinking, the doubt, the need for guarantees? that’s what’s slowing you down. not the “lack of progress,” not some mythical “block”—it’s you convincing yourself it’s harder than it is.

and let’s talk about social media for a second. oh my god, the shifting community on social media… i get it. it’s comforting to see other people on this journey. but let’s be honest—how much of that content is actually helping you? like, really? 90% of the time, scrolling through shifting advice isn’t inspiring; it’s overwhelming. everyone’s got their own opinions, their own “best methods,” their own rules. one person says scripting is a must, another says it’s a waste of time. one person swears by affirmations, another says visualization is the only way. and before you know it, you’re sitting there questioning everything you thought you knew, wondering if you’ll ever get it “right.” spoiler alert: you already know how to shift. you don’t need a thousand voices telling you what to do. in fact, the more you listen to them, the harder it becomes to hear yourself.

take a break. seriously. log off the apps. give yourself space to breathe and think. ask yourself: why do i want to shift? what’s stopping me? what feels right to me? no tiktok trend, youtube guide, or reddit post can answer those questions for you. only you can. and i know that sounds scary. we’ve been conditioned to think we need external validation for everything, but shifting is a deeply personal thing. you don’t need a step-by-step tutorial. you need to trust your instincts. that’s it.

and let me be clear: i’m not saying methods or subliminals are bad. they’re fine if they help you feel aligned. but they’re not what makes shifting happen. you are. methods are just tools. if you use them, great. if you don’t, that’s great too. because the truth is, shifting isn’t about doing things “right.” it’s about letting go of the idea that you need to.

so let me break it down for you. the only things you really need to shift are:

1. a desire. you have to want to go to your desired reality. no brainer, right?

2. belief. this is the big one. you have to trust it’s possible. no “what ifs,” no “but hows.” just trust.

3. persistence. if it doesn’t happen right away, that’s okay. don’t give up. if you’ve ever learned to ride a bike, you know that falling doesn’t mean you can’t do it—it just means you’re learning. shifting is the same.

that’s it. no fancy rituals, no endless research, no “perfect” conditions. the process is simple because it’s natural. you’ve probably done it before without even realizing it— the only reason it feels hard now is because you’ve convinced yourself it has to be.

stop making it harder than it needs to be. shifting isn’t this unattainable, mystical thing reserved for “chosen ones.” it’s something anyone can do. you can do it. your mom can do it. that anti-shifter lurking in every crevice of shiftblr could do it. you’ve always been capable. but you have to stop getting in your own way. stop doubting yourself. stop relying on others to tell you what’s possible. this is your journey. own it.

and above all, be patient. shifting is not a race. it’s not about how fast you can get there or how perfect your dr is. it’s about trust, intention, and focus. log off, tune into yourself, and let it happen. shifting has always been yours to claim. it’s not something you need permission for. it’s not something you need to earn. it’s just you, your mind, and your belief. always has been, always will be.

poppet curse!

warning! this is a curse, so if this isn’t your thing then please, keep scrolling. for those that are still interested, here’s a tutorial on how I personally have made a curse on a very hurtful person… with pictures. ;p

so! all good curses start with some herbs. these pictured, are the ones you’ll need for the inside of the poppet. pictured as well are some black thread and a pen and paper, some sharp things (rusty nails, glass, etc) and what isn’t pictured is fabric.

additionally, you’ll also need a tag lock of the person, to which I used cut up photos of them that I cut one by one.

then you’ll need to make your poppet! I hand sewed this one (im sure its obvious, but it doesn’t need to look pretty, i promise) and while I was doing that (and filling it) I was thinking about all the hurtful things they’ve done to me, and how I want them to feel that in return. that little paper with the eye; that’s a letter I wrote expressing how i felt. I folded it up and drew an evil eye on it (to promote their negativity coming back to them), and stuffed it in the head of the doll, so that person would always be thinking of that situation. now sew the rest of it closed.

now you’re going to drip red wax over the edges of the outside of the stitching and over the head and chest. then you’ll sprinkle some cayenne powder over the wax, followed with crushed red pepper. after that, seal it with some black wax, and youre done!

since this isn’t safe to bury outside, i recommend putting it in a small box or container that you don’t care about anymore, and keep it hidden somewhere dark and out of sight. dont think about the poppet or that person anymore!

“is shifting real?” hey quick question are you fucking kidding me
