24 Year Old Magical Practitioner of 11 years Philosophy Student and Druidic Hedge Witch Provider of education and personal experience, not moral authority
I know people have probably heard this a ton of times, but I feel like it's my turn from a couple recent events
I do not fuck with generative AI. If you even so much as a mention you utilize it you're going on my block list.
I've had to block someone a week or so ago for defending their AI generated image, and today blocked someone I was closer mutuals with upon discovering their use of gen AI. Not gonna be naming them here, creating beef just isn't my style.
Even if you utilize generative AI as a legitimate work tool (ie creating spreadsheets), you are still contributing to gen AI's overconsumption of water, unbalanced power over economics, theft of millions of people's literature and artistic work (including the destruction of rare antique books that are no longer being printed), and many other ethical concerns. Until those concerns could be reasonably sorted out, using gen AI for anything at all is entirely unethical no matter if you're a witch or not.
I'm normally not the type of person to make a DNI post, if I ever see anything else I don't agree with (ie transphobia) I simply block and move on. But the aforementioned people have told me they've felt inspired from my philosophy and practice, but the potential reality of any of them putting their own iterations of my thoughts and ideas through AI makes me very uncomfortable, as one of them described they "bounce ideas" off of AI because they felt it was too much of a hassle to discuss with real people.
Edit: Also want to be transparent about my own usage of generative AI in the past as an older teenager through early twenties. Mostly just chatbots, but also a good amount of image generation. It wasn't until late 2023 or so that the economic, environmental, and intellectual harm of it was made aware to me. At that point I had a full blown dopamine addiction to chatbots during a hard time in my life. I wasn't able to fully shake off my usage of it until around mid-2024. If I'm going to condemn those who still currently use genAI, I feel it's only fair that I'm honest about my own history with it as well.
I'm very pleased with how productive today was! I've been having such a good time retracing my steps in the history of my practice, and this evening I visited the farm with my dad to pick up something for dinner and dessert, as well as general shopping for our veggies.
They've been steadily putting in their fall decor, and I'm so excited to see it all put up as the month goes on, and it was nice to see the kids playing with the animals outeide! It was a rather domestic day in my practice, but farmlife is a very important aspect to it for me!
I wanted to thank you for your post on witchcraft and eating disorders last month. as a baby witch and a fat girl, I feel so much pressure between these two sides to be "at peace" with my body yet also to make myself look good. I want to be healthy hard stop, but the lines of what would actually be healthy for my body are blurred by what everyone else wants me to be. there's no satisfying conclusion to this ask, I'm still struggling with binge/restrict tendencies - but your post gave me some comfort.
Awh, I'm so glad that my post had helped even if it's just a little bit! I don't remember why it was on my mind so thoroughly that day, but with this message I do want to add a bit more.
(If anyone hasn't seen the post anon referred to, here it is)
I have quite a lot to say on this subject, but to keep things sweet and simple; what you're going through isn't your fault and millions of others are going through or have been through similar experiences. Humans have always been worried about beauty standards, and inevitably social media has become extremely toxic and predatory. Not to mention evolution has not caught up with the fact we have a plethora of food. As a species, we are DESIGNED to hold onto body fat because for 99.9% of human history that's how we've survived. And the beauty, food, and weight loss industry have completely hijacked and weaponized it all for the sake of money.
It's hard to learn in this era, but the quality of the body matters so much more than the number on the scale. It takes a lot of time for that to really click with your subconcious, but I know you can do it!
There's some people on YouTube who have made video essays on this sort of thing, as well as other modern problems we face, and while the titles feel very doomer the videos themselves are actually quite informative! They give their own anecdotes of how they've experienced the problem they're talking about in their own life, and towards the end of the video they give reasonable and realistic steps into how you can make a change for yourself and/or how the world itself is changing/can change. They're quite inspiring, and have helped me with some of my own troubles! And my dms are always open if anyone needs to just vent :)
Today I want to emphasize that your practice is not meant to be the same forever, and that's okay! Change doesn't mean anything was necessarily "wrong," it just means that you've gathered new knowledge which has created an opprotunity for beneficial growth. While I believe daily work is important to the sanctity of one's practice, so too are cycles of rest and stillness. But there is a difference between stillness and stagnation, rest and burnout.
While you should never pressure yourself to be in a perfect "mood" for your practice all of the time, if you've noticed more than half your days of the week you've lost satisfaction, fulfillment, enchantment with your practice, then that's a signal something needs to change. Too often do I see practitioners who attempt to simply "push through it" only to end up burnt out for several weeks or perhaps months. Then they go back to their practice with the same methods as before, only to rinse and repeat.
I'm happy to talk further on this in another post! But if your practice ever makes you feel stuck or it loses fulfillment, retrace the history of your practice back to its foundations to find what no longer sticks and make room for something new.
I have so much information stored in this noggin and on my phone, so I am putting my book temporarily on hold in favoring my time towards my grimoire. A lotttt of what I'm going to be writing is the philosophies I've learned over the years; what's new and what's old, what's changed and what's stayed consistent, and such. It's something I'm eager to be working on and maybe I'll share some things from it on here!

Definitely going to be up to mostly just my daily/weekly/monthly upkeep for a while. With the time I'm dedicating to my studies and personal work, I just don't have any time or really much of a need to do any particular spells or rituals that are out of the norm. I do want to remember to bring my phone with me on my walks to share some pictures here more though!
It's hard to get into it all because there was SO much, but yesterday was very enlightening from a very important historical book I stumbled across on The Internet Archives to discussions I has with my Spirit Guides and Familiar. It was all just much needed feelings of inspiration and new lessons, and I feel like a snake which has shed my skin very overdue!
A few days ago I was invited by the whimsical @witchothebogfolk to participate in this cool little game, and after some time to think I've created my own list of "13 goals of a witch!"
If you're tagged, your challenge is to create 13 goals for your own magical craft. These can be practical, philosophical, devotional, ethical, creative, practical, silly, or whatever. They don't have be profound, and they don't have to match anyone else's practice. They should be principles that guide your craft specifically. When you're finished, tag a few people to add their own 13 goals.

1. Finding a steady balance between the worship of my religion and my practice (my brain is terribly all or nothing).
2. Give myself more grace in the imperfections and challenges of my practice, and to grow upon them.
3. Continue to develop the book(s) I want to publish!
4. Start developing an actual long-term grimoire for myself rather than scattered notes/memoirs, more of a magical journal and general research than anything else really.
5. Restore and preserve nature and nature's spirits in my community.
6. Continue my cycle of rediscovering myself.
7. See, know, and understand the world from all different perspectives and walks of life.
8. Continue to explore the Otherworld and find balance between my spiritual life experiences and responsibilities with my physical.
9. Restoring the sanctity of magic and wonder to the world and the lives of others.
10. Be a source of healing for others (who do not disrespect my peace), to know when my well is replenished and can be shared vs dried out and need to be conserved.
11. Always continue to expand upon my already existing knowledge and never be shy to accruing new knowledge where applicable.
12. Encourage myself to do and explore what makes me scared (with the safety measures I can readonably implement).
13. To teach my subconcious and inner child that uncertain change is hardly the threat it frequently seems to be.

I'll be tagging @cursecuelebre @etheribot @fauna-the-teenage-witch @hellboundwitch @lost-at-thecrossroads @owl-eyed--witch and @web-witch to join in this cool game if you haven't done it and if you'd like to! I always enjoy these more philosophical style games!
Unfortunately not super eventful as Mondays are my first of two long days at work! Just practicing some prayers and some usual things amongst my spirit guides. Although I am going to be seeing what I can do for my work schedule so I can have more time in the mornings to actually feel ready for the day instead of just get up and go.

Spent most of the day with my boyfriend! We spent a lot of time outdoors, went to the library where I got The Origins of Modern Witchcraft by Ann Moura. I already know a decent about the history that shaped witchcraft how it is today, but from my skimming she was bringing up some aspects I didn't know about and I wanted to look deeper into the topic! She learned her craft from her parents and grandparents and is a historian, so I'm hoping to gain some quality insight! After the library and breakfast we went to the local park that has a very active land wight that always says hello, so while boyfriend took a nap in the grass I did my own spirit work.
Now I'm sitting in bed after having done a much needed transmutation spell for my anxiety. The extention cord that my lamp is connected to bit the dust, so I just have some candles lit with a fireplace/music video on my TV for some warm light, and honestly it's quite a vibe. Might be my new routine when settling in for bed! Right now I'm brainstorming some morning and/or nightly things I can incorporate into my practice. My AuDHD likes to fight itself where I deeply want to have structure, but I feel most motivated in spontaneity. So to alleviate this I'll make a list of several things I could potentially choose, and pick that day which one(s) I want to do. I'll give an update if it works well!
Other than my lavender post I wrote yesterday, as well as some work done for my book, today was just some standard daily work and the beginning of my beginning of the month upkeep! Cleaned off my altars, recharged a few things, and am working on getting something special for my guides' altar!
Welcome to my Herbal Compendium, the little series in which I tell you all about plants that can be found right at home while foraging and/or in your local grocery store! Here we go over a plants physiological properties, medicinal uses, and mythological tales or folk stories to explain their metaphysical correspondences. Today we are talking about the peaceful lavender!

An herb well known for relaxation and sleep
Lavender is one of the most popular herbs you can find in any garden, herbarium, or wellness shop, and for very good reason! It isn’t an herb that just has a pretty smell (although it does have aromatherapeutic purposes), but the oils in the flower and the flower itself offer several medical and physiological benefits beyond esoteric utilizations.
It is most often used for relaxation because it contains linalool and linalyl acetate, which exists in other flowers, but is most present in lavender. Linalool has been conducted in several studies as a promising natural compound in treating depression and anxiety by intervening pathways of neurodegenerative and behavioral disorders. When consumed as a tincture or tea, or applied topically as an oil it also has anti-inflammatory properties to reduce inflammatory related pain such as joint pain or menstrual cramps, as well as decrease the appearance of acne, fine lines, and dark spots (although topically it should be diluted to negate skin irritation). Not something that’s a permanent fix in and of itself, but it is a useful tool to work alongside other methods of these various treatments! Linalyl acetate is similar, but not the same, going a step further to act as a mild natural sedative for sleep and even to interrupt or prevent seizures. When in the form of a highly concentrated oil, lavender has been historically utilized as an antibacterial and antimicrobial to clean dirt and prevent illness from Ancient Rome to even being used as an antiseptic in both World Wars.

From Cleansing to Love to Divination
The use of lavender as a cleansing and aromatherapy agent was first found in ancient Arabia through distilling oils, but the Romans are what really popularized it throughout Europe. They named lavender after the word “lavare” which means “to bathe” as they utilized steeped bundles of lavender in their bathwater. Before then lavender appeared frequently in the Bible as a symbol of cleanliness and purity, even turned into its own cross for protection either to be carried or hung above windowsills or doors. Ancient Egyptians used lavender as one of the many herbs in their embalming process due to the strong and soothing fragrance, but it’s also said that lavender was a fragrance Cleopatra commonly used for seduction. Throughout folklore in Europe, lavender became quite popular in love workings as well! Putting a sprig of lavender under yours or your love interests pillow to dream of one another, or to bring a vision of your true love in your dreams. On its own or in a mixture of other plants, lavender comes up repeatedly as a tool for protection, divination, and seeing beyond the veil.
Lavender was commonly used in conjunction with other herbs to achieve a particular esoteric or physiological goal. It was a popular reagent to protect people against the plague in the middle ages! Lavender is one of the herbs theorized to have been in Four Theives Vinegar, an elixir that was used by graverobbers to steal from the deceased victims of the Black Plague without contracting the plague itself. During the Plague itself Plague Doctors had their bird-like masks as a way of storing antibacterial herbs, including lavender! At the time we didn't understand how illness was passed from person to person, the belief for most of human history being that illness was caused by bad smells. Which isn't entirely wrong!

How This Can All be Applied to Your Practice
Lavender has proven itself to be a very versatile herb! One of my favorite uses for lavender in my own craft is for beauty magic and to act as a stabilizer for my spells. I don't just use tea for drinking, but I also fill a spray bottle with it or pour it over a paper towel to enchant tools like my mirror for enhancing the sight of my own beauty or jewelry that I wear to either attract romance or calm my surroundings. I also enjoy drinking lavender tea, as a little ritual before bed, although I have very active dreams without it. And it is helpful that we can utilize lavender in nearly every beauty product we could own to magically enhance their effects!
Lavender, as a calming and cleansing agent, I use it in nearly every spell I do. This is of course wholly optional! But in my experience lavender clarifies my intentions in my spell quite a bit, allowing the spell to offer me just the amount of challenge and growth I need without turning the spell's effects too chaotic. Spellwork is meant to get to its goal along the path of least resistance, but sometimes people (including myself) don't recognize the unintended consequences of the spell or their actions depending on the casters state of mind while casting the spell, or things they simply don't see. I find lavender can negate that to a degree, especially as someone who can have an anxious mind every so often.
Finally, I have gotten a lot of assistance from lavender in my spirit work! Often in combination with mugwort and a few other herbs, I think it's somsthing that helps to clear my mind, soothes my soul, and relaxes my body in a way I need to commune with spirits be it in my day-to-day life or while actively crossing to the Otherworld. Of course, this includes divination ad well. Clearer minds allow for clearer messages and finely tuned intuition for deciphering and recognizing those messages. This could be while you're actively utilizing a divination tool, or looking for a sign throughout your day!

This series is inspired by my love ecology! The earth has gifted us with immeasurable bounty, and I want to give back. The earth is suffering from human activity, as such so are we, but we have the ability to mitigate or even reverse it. If you have the means, consider donating to The Nature Conservatory, The Rainforest Trust, Clean Air Taskforce, or any other organization you know and trust! $10 can prevent the warming impact of ten tonnes of greenhouse emissions! Even if you can't donate, I hope you learned something useful and can share or reblog my post with your friends! Knowledge is power, and there are so many ways of supporting the planet and our local ecosystems from our homes to volunteer work. When everybody makes reasonable and consistent strides into taking care of the earth in our every day lives, no matter how small, the continuous ripple effect is felt throughout the world and amongst future generations of plants, animals, and people.
Just some small daily prayers and beauty magics were done yesterday! My sister has been holding a witchcraft course and her next course is going to be all about altars, she likes taking my help/inspiration during her courses so I spent some time writing what I thought was important to include about altars and providing her with pictures of my altars current and old.
It make me so irrevocably angry that we have progressed so far in scientific advancements to do so many absolutely incredible things for the world and ourselves, so much that we treat our species like gods because of it. And instead of using the big brains our species gets so prideful about, we use it to just kill fucking everything. And for what? Money? Some imaginary thing that was arbitrarily assigned value just because we all collectively decided it has value? When in reality it's fucking worthless because most people who can actually do some goddamn good with it instead hoard it like dragons and most of what they have never gets touched.
And don't get me started on the politicians who love to brag about how proficient we are in our scientific development. "Oh, we're the leading country in innovation, humanity's never reached such a level of scientific understanding before." And then when the scientists they're preaching about give them the research and studies to show that their policies are killing millions of plants, animals, bugs, and therefore people and the planet itself, those same exact politicians turn around to say it's a HOAX?? And cut funding for literally anything to do with the health and wellness of anything that shows signs of life?
And people who complain about the wildfires, how expensive food has gotten, how unbearably hot summer's gotten, yet so heavily advocate for the "science" that they clearly don't know jack shit about tell me that my spirituality (which reveres fungi and tress and bugs BECAUSE THEY LITERALLY KEEP THE ECOSYSTEM RUNNING AND THEREFORE KEEPS US AND EVERYTHING ELSE ALIVE) isn't real and lacks intellectual structure?
Absolutely fuck you, you gargantuan waste of oxygen. The shit my dog takes in the backyard is more intelligent than you'll ever be. How in the world did we end up in this absolute hellscape of a timeline, we really are the dumbest fucking species on this planet.
Thank you for coming to my enraged TedTalk, some idiot redneck pissed me off and I had a tad bit of a spiral
Reblogging cause I definitely had a moment this morning, but I refuse to take myself off the hopium. It fucking sucks that the big wigs with the money and power to make huge change simply choose not to, but that doesn't mean nothing can be done. I got my village's monthly newspaper in the mail, and here's what we've accomplished this past month, what we're working towards, and what the rest of my state has been doing to help the environment. (This is only from my local paper, I'm sure if I looked into each township, city, and village paper I would find SO much more than what's listed here!)
My village
- Opened up a community garden for free gardening, biology, and ecology education to all ages
- Conservation efforts have made massive progress to controlling invasive plants
- Our farmers market moved to somewhere more accessible for other townships to participate in, and has inspired others to grow some of their own herbs and crops
- Provided information for how people can grow native plants to support polinators into the winter
- We've been having a massive problem with beaver dams contributing to flooding last year, and instead of getting rid of the dams we're placing piping and fencing to allow water to keep flowing as needed without displacing the beavers or removing their dams
My state
- Home owned farmers are getting together to supply access to fresh, chemical-free food for the community
- Several acres of land have been donated and bought purely for conservation
- New regional trash authority has been approved across several towns and cities to sustainably process trash and recycling
- Outdoor recreation has been becoming popularized amongst young people with more time and access to community events
Other points of hopium from the newspaper
- Over the past 100 years the whole state has gone from 20% forest cover to almost 65%
- Climate education mandate has been in legislation for a few years for grades K - 12
- There has been a massive rebound in several major animal species in the past 50 years
Anyways the point is: Yeah, things are shitty. But we can still do something about it and make a notable change. People are fighting, and it is making an impact. I plan on getting involved in local volunteer work for at least one day a week, preferably two or three a week when I can manage. I've canceled some subscriptions so I can donate to conservation efforts. As always I'm concious of who I vote for when elections come around. Even if in your disability or life situation you can't donate or do physical labor, educating yourself on ecology and the environment really is a great thing! Advocating for programs, organizations, and fundraisers on renewable energy or reforestation, teaching your younger family members the importance of the environment, even just setting a little pot of wildflowers out for the pollinators.
Long term change doesn't happen in a single wave, it's a constant ripple effect that we all can contribute to one way or another.
It make me so irrevocably angry that we have progressed so far in scientific advancements to do so many absolutely incredible things for the world and ourselves, so much that we treat our species like gods because of it. And instead of using the big brains our species gets so prideful about, we use it to just kill fucking everything. And for what? Money?

Holidays Don't Have To be Extravagent in Order to be Sacred
Samhain Ultramarathon 8/100
╚════════════════════════. .៚.╝
Fridays are typically my least active days, being at work until 9PM Thursday only to come in the next morning for 7AM... yuck 🤮
But today was still quite productive! I don't have time for celebrating Lughnasadhe tomorrow due to work and my time with friends, but I had a nice little celebration today! My dad and I walked to the village center where we ordered dinner at the country club and ate our food at one of the outside tables that looks out at the meadow, which offers a beautiful view of the mountains. Afterwards we went to the center green where there was live music, artisan shops, and free meals for the community.
It was a very pleasant time, and I talked with our pastor about how Lughnasadhe is today into tomorrow, which led to us talking about the harvest and autumn, and appreciating together the general cycle of life and nature as well as what we're both looking forward to in the fall! After we got home I made some teabags out of the dried leaves from my mint plant, to which I gave thanks to my plant and offered it a drink of my moonwater. By chance it also came time for a newly annointed candle for my spirit guides!
While not entirely planned nor exactly a Pagan organization, it was lovely getting to celebrate in a semi-traditional way out in nature with some good food, music, a lovely community, and the little bonfire that is my spirit guides' candle lol. Either way, celebration is what you personally make of it. Nothing has to be wholly traditional nor up to TikTok aesthetic standards. Holidays aren't about performance, they're about genuine connection and reverence to what's being celebrated!
╔.៚. .════════════════════════╗
This was one of my most ideal celebrations for the holiday! Right now my current way of life makes it difficult to celebrate the Wheel of The Year in accordance to traditional celebrations, so I often just observe the four equinoxes. While simple, this was such a lovely change of pace, and I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend regardless of how you celebrate, if at all!
╚════════════════════════. .៚.╝
Please enjoy this picture of my dog not wanting to sit pretty for a photo lol
Today's my first day back at work, unfortunately one of my long days 🙃
So not much has been done today. Really just experimenting with my prayer/meditation beads as well as praying to/with my mint plant, which has just recently begun to flower!
I can't remember what user it came from, but I read a story about how someone went away and asked their friend to water their plants. One of them was a prayer plant, which is the name of the plant, but the friend mistook it as a personal name or a plant that you pray to. I thought it was a cute idea, and I am very fond of my mint!
Today I did a very much needed deep cleaning of my altar for two hours, both physical and magical, as well as a general organization of my altar and everything else on my dresser. It was kind of fun though as I've had this dresser since childhood, and as I was cleaning I was watching/listening to content from my childhood!
I've also set my moon water jar out on the window sill, having used the rest of what I had in my tea. Before I go to bed I'm going to put a command strip hook above my door so I can finally hang my iron horseshoe! I also bought some bee themed meditation beads which I'm still figuring out what mantras or chants I want to use for them!
Prayer/chants/mantras aren't wholly my thing, but it's hard for me to create a solid daily routine as I work a different time every day. But this is something I can definitely have the time to work with every day.
I've been forgetting to post my Samhain Ultramarathon!
Omg, I got back from my vacation this week so everything I've been doing has been quite simple for the sake of recharging and it completely slipped my mind! 😂😅
Okay let's go lol
1 - July 23rd: My siblings and I went to the lovely Edward Gorey House! I bought a perfume special to the House that I would like to enchant for glamour magic, and I also bought a book of Greek Myths which was illustrated by Edward Gorey. Had a pleasant conversation with the cashier about it when she asked if I'm a Classicist!
2 - July 24th: Stayed at the vacation house for some much needed alone time while the family went to the beach, we had already gone a few times so I was satisfied. I meditated out in the backyard just to briefly connect with the spirits there and thank them for our stay. I also finally got to where I want to be in writing my witchcraft book!
3 - July 25th: Unfortunately not much was done today as we were packing up and getting ready to go home. I did buy some fun antique iron tools to use in my practice! Thinking a lot about how I want to use them, as well as some goodies I got from a beekeeper earlier in the week.
4 - July 26th: Officially home! Definitely a big day for rest, much of all I could do was greet my familiar (I kept him home to watch my cat and the house), give him an offering of moon water, and light a candle.
5 - July 27th: Did some much needed cleaning around my room! Didn't have as much time as I'd have liked before going to my boyfriends, but things still feel just better overall. I cleaned the desk beside my bed which I like to use as a space for rituals, and I tried out some new pomegranate tea for a bit of beauty magic.
6 - July 28th: Left my boyfriends early due to oncoming storms, and stopped at a bookstore to buy another philosophy book (I have no bookshelf space for more books lol). I was really tired today so the only thing I did was light a small spell candle for myself on my desk while I called my boyfriend and gave him prompts to draw (he's an incredible artist!) I talked to him about one day wantint to make my own tarot or at least oracle deck, and he seemed really interested in doing the illustrations for me!
And now today, July 29th, which I'll upload separately today!
