iām a little witch with clinical depression, which always seems to worsen around wintertime. i want to be active and present in my practice, but i always feel so lost and drained this time of year, and itās started to creep up right around now. i feel so unmotivated and empty.
witches with depression- any advice?
Oh theyāre going to need salvation.
Not just making it illegal, but making being gay punishable with death.
This is one of the many reasons why I walk by every single red bucket in the run-up to Christmas. Theyāre not getting my money, I donāt care how nice the people ringing bells are.
Ever since the time they threatened to close all their soup kitchens in NYC if a law that did something as simple as allow companies to extend spousal benefits to their employeeās same-sex domestic partners I have refused to buy from them or donate to them.Ā
Itās that time of year again! In case people donāt knowā¦ the Salvation Army is shitty peoples.
Also, the married women are not paid (and therefore canāt qualify for assistance if they should ever divorce, etc). And worthĀ āof courseā less than a man.
ā In the Armyās case, the agreement for compensation is that the officer allowance be paid jointly to the husbandāthe check is written in his name. Officially, the wife is a āworker without expectation of remuneration,ā and her husband receives 40 percent more of an allowance as a married man than he would as a single man. ā

hey since that season is coming up again!
To my American followers. Donāt support Salvation Army. Not only are they homophobic as shit, but Iāve also heard that they abuse a lot f homeless people. They only care about money, please donāt donate to them and give your money to charities that actually help people
Never donāt reblog.
a singular scuit. just one.Ā
an edible cracker with just one side. mathematically impossible and yet here I am monching on it.
āscuitā comes from the french word for ābakeā, ācuireā as bastardized by adoption by the brittish and a few hundred years ābiscuitā meant ātwice-bakedā, originally meaning items like hardtack which were double baked to dry them as a preservative measure long before things like sugar and butter were introduced. if you see a historical doccument use the word ābiscuitā do not be fooled to think ābeing a pirate mustve been pretty cool, they ate nothing but cookiesā - they were made of misery to last long enough to be used in museum displays or as paving stones
ātriscuitā is toasted after the normal biscuit process, thrice baked thus the monoscuit is a cookie thats soft and chewy because it was only baked once, not twice
behold the monoscuit/scuit
Why is this called a biscuit:
when brittish colonists settled in the americas they no longer had to preserve biscuits for storage or sea voyages so instead baked them once and left them soft, often with buttermilk or whey to convert cheap staples/byproducts into filling items to bulk out the meal to make a small amount of greasy meat feed a whole family. considering hardtack biscuits were typically eaten by dipping them in grease or gravy untill they became soft enough to eat without breaking a tooth this was a pretty short leap of ājust dont make them rock hard if im not baking for the armyā but didnt drop the name because its been used for centuries and people forgot its french for ātwice bakedā back in the tudor era, biscuit was just a lump of cooked dough that wasnt leavened bread as far as they cared thus the buttermilk biscuit and the hardtack biscuit existed at the same time. ācookiesā then came to america via german and dutch immigrants as tiny cakes made with butter, sugar/molasses, and eggs before ātea biscuitsā as england knew them due to the new availability of cheap sugar- which is why ābiscuitā and ācookieā are separate items in america but the same item in the UK the evolution of the biscuit has forks on its family tree
I love it when a shitpost turns into an actually interesting post.

Things I wish somebody had told me in the beginning: witch edition
This is not a competition. Take it slow, enjoy the journey. You do not need to learn every crystal correspondence within a week.
Keep a journal/Grimoire/Book of Shadows if possible. Fill it up as you go. Do not just put the information somewhere to wait until you āhave timeā or āhave more energyā (although these, and many more, are understandable reasons). It is less work to do a little all the time than try to catch up all at once.
You donāt need to be anything to be a witch. You are one, regardless of your gender, skin color, religious interestsā¦ If you think youāre one, you are. Witchcraft is a path, a tool, not a religion.
Wicca and witchcraft are not the same.
It is totally okay to take breaks. Setting aside your craft doesnāt mean you canāt come back and continue where you left off.
YOU are the most important tool. You do not need that expensive cauldron, or those rare herbs that have a double-digit price. Of course, supplies are needed for more complicated/powerful spells to help you out, but they are not necessary.
If your path changes, that is okay! If you were first interested in spells but then decided to focus more on deities and their worship, thatās okay!
On that note, itās also okay to not know what your path is.
Like all people, witches have their opinions about various things. Listen carefully to both sides, research, but in the end make your own opinion that fits with your morals and worldview. Neither side is necessarily wrong, but both can be true.
Trust your gut/intuition. It knows a lot. If someone says X has Y correspondences, but in your opinion has Z, then this is true to you.
When researching things, remember to be critical and not trust everything you read blindly. Cross-reference.
Educate yourself on closed religions, slur words, racist symbols, appropriation of cultures and their words (see:smudging, chakraā¦) Do not be angry at yourself if you have used them before - you are always learning and growing as a person.
When in doubt, ask. The community is friendly and many are more than happy to help you. Asking never hurts, but donāt treat others as your Google.
Do not abandon science nor common sense. Witchcraft is powerful, and certain areas have direct influence (using herbs, for example), but it does not replace healthcare, therapy, or otherwise being healthy.
Practice safety. There is a reason why people tell you in rituals/spells/etc. to do things to protect yourself. When doing witchcraft, you are dealing with great powers and energy - sometimes that might be malicious.
Also, some general things like fire safety, checking for crystal toxicities in various substances, and herb properties are important to keep track of - these are physical things that can seriously harm you; and definitely work. Do not doubt that.
Do not lose yourself. While witchcraft gives us great power, it sometimes makes us lose ourselves. One might become so absorbed in their path that they forget things like eating, checking on friends, doing hobbies, and so forth. This path is part of your life, but your life does not consist only of the path.
Have fun! I believe this is one of the most important things. Witchcraft does not need to be serious; it can be Legos, glitter, pop-culture gods, sigils doodled with eyelinerā¦ The possibilities are limitless!
This is hella good everyone read it
Some great advice here.
What would it take for someone to sell you three āmagic beansā for $10 at a farmerās market?
Specifically, what kind of person would you buy magic beans from? You have no way of knowing if the beans are actually magical - they probably arenāt. But just how colorful a character would a magic bean salesman have to be before you willingly spent $10 for the experience of buying magic beans from an eccentric stranger?
I wouldnāt buy $10 magic beans from a young man with an undercut and suspenders with sailor tattooes on his forearms. He might be a nice guy - maybe Iād be friends with him. But I would not spend $10 for the experience of purchasing magic beans from him, unless they were actual real magic beans and he could prove that.
I might buy $10 magic beans from a small child in a wizard costume. It depends. Maybe if theyāre really committed to the role - then Iām purchasing the privilege of interacting with them.
I might but $10 magic beans from an incredibly sexy, mysterious lady with long opera gloves and glittering eyes, but probably not - I might give her money just for smiling at me but I donāt think sheād really have the right vibe for selling magic beans. Potions, yes. Not beans.
Iād probably buy magic beans from a wild-haired, cheerful witch in overalls and mud boots, but that wouldnāt really be about the beans, itād be about finding excuses to talk to her.
Iād absolutely buy magic beans from a toothless old person dressed entirely in hot pink or chartreuse who answered my questions with rambling non-sequiturs and told me long, scandalous, scientifically impossible stories about how things used to be.
I would buy three magic beans from the white haired woman who sits on the back of her pickup with dozens of jars of jelly laid out on a table in the abandoned fair ground. She doesnāt sell jelly; she sells potted plants. If you compliment her on her wooden sandals though, she will give you a jar of jelly. She asks if my children are twins every week, and is disappointed they arenāt twins every week. I would buy three magic beans for $10 from her.
On another note, I have traded a crocheted snowflake for ten acorns with a small, barefoot, blonde child in a white dress I encountered in the woods. Two of the acorns sprouted on the way home and I now have them growing in pots.
dude at some point the signs for the goblin market and the farmerās market in your town got switched but your fae are too polite to say anything when you keep coming back
Spirit Work: Red Flags!
Spirit work has always been a huge part of my life, ever since I was a wee two year old toddling around my grandmotherās house. In my two decades of talking to the otherworldly, I have run into horrible spirits and gotten into toxic situations. Evil spirits (and morally grey ones) can and will deceive you. This is a list of signs that the spirit youāre interacting with is toxic or may hurt you.
1. You feel anxious, scared, or a sense of foreboding when interacting with them or when they are around.
This is also known as a sense of dread. Some spirits have heavier energies, but if you are feeling dread, trust your intuition and BANISH immediately. Cut all contact.
2. The name they give you keeps changing.
Some spirits have personal reasons to not give you their true name. This can be a red flag sometimes, but not all of the time. However, having a name that never stays the same is a red flag. Itās a form of deceit and manipulation.Ā
3. Itās too good to be true.
If a spirit comes to you likeĀ āYOU ARE THE MOST POWERFUL HUMAN EVER, I HAVE A MESSAGE FOR YOUā or some over the top theatrical stuff, itās usually a trick. Donāt let them in your life. This isnāt to say that a spirit coming to you and claiming to know you or want to help you is always bad, but be wary.
CW: assaulty, abusive stuff next
4. They manipulate how you feel towards them.
Some spirits, typically those that feed off of sexual energy, will put you in a haze. You will see no wrong in what they do. You may be very sexually attracted to them out of no where or somehow just give in to their advances. This can also take the form of unhealthy levels of dependence and even worship.
5. They manipulate how you feel towards others.
Just like humans, bad spirits want to isolate you and make you more vulnerable. You may find yourself getting into more fights with friends or family. You may have several falling outs and not know why. The spirit will literally be a voice just telling you everyone is horrible and against you.
6. They hurt you.
This can be emotional, psychological, or physical. Scratches, bruises, bite marks, sore limbs, all of it can happen. They can break you down emotionally and break you psychologically. This is usually coupled with gaslighting.
7. They make you feel powerless.
These spirits know they can be banished, so they will make you think that youāre too weak to do so. They make you give in and give up.
8. Unwanted switching/possession/oppression.
Once they have enough of a hold on you, these spirits will literally take over your thoughts. They can even take over your words and actions. Switching is a common thing in spirit companionship, but non-consensual switching is a huge red flag.
What do I do if there are red flags?
Remember that you are always in control. You are the conjurer, you are the medium. No matter how powerful a spirit claims to be, you can always get rid of them. Banish them and ward yourself. Step away from spirit work and tune out of the other world until you recover. Focus on the mundane until you have healed.
