spring is coming. Spring IS COMING. You will stand on soft grass again, and feel the sun kiss your cheeks and shoulders. you will eat of the same berries as the animals returned from their hibernation. you will hear the air alive with your collective breathing.

Its the witch’s way to go against the grain. Be punk as fuck in a world where cruelty seems to outweigh morality.
Random stoned thought... there is a difference between being a witch, and practicing witchcraft.
I'm not here to say what classifies a witch.
In my experience I have found now that I have devouted my life to my witchcraft and actively pouring my time and effort into it, with pleasant results. I have crossed the threshold of practicing my craft and living it. It has woven its spider fine thread into every part of my life, albeit some way more subtle than others.
So for those that feel that they are not ready for that title just quite yet. It's okay to not be a Baker and bake a delicious cake at home and enjoy the delight it brings to your life. The same is for witchcraft.
Their is alot of potential in the air this spring, don't waist it.
I’m not saying witches are reckless, but I am saying that there sure are a whole lot of us who look at the warnings, glance at the instructions, and then throw out the guidebook like, “Fuck it, I’m a witch.”
If it can be jerry-rigged, so it shall be.
This might be controversial but I feel like some gentiles who are basically just advanced history nerds need to stop wearing nazi hate symbols and pretending it’s sacred to whatever ancient European religion they decided to start believing in to escape their Christian upbringing
Roleplay that you’re an ancient viking worshipping Odin or Thor all you want but don’t go around wearing symbols that have been widely co-opted by white supremacists for longer than you’ve been alive
I get the sentiment, but the Nazis basically plundered any cultural symbolism they could associate with Germany in order to build a nationalist empire. The symbols weren't theirs to begin with, and the people who want to take them back shouldn't be treated like the people who stole from them.
They also killed millions of Jews and people are still killing Jews today while wearing those symbols, so maybe don’t go around looking like someone who wants to murder Jews. Is your European historical roleplay really so important that you want to go around looking like someone who wants to kill Jewish people?
If you actually cared about jewish people and people of color, you would not want to adorn yourself and tattoo yourself with symbols that are known to be used in a modern context as symbols that white supremacists use to signal to eachother. Maybe the ancient European religion from thousands of years ago you started worshipping to piss off your catholic parents used to use those symbols in a religious context. But today, in the year of 2020, that is no longer the meaning those symbols have.
as someone who is Hindu, the swastika was a very important symbol to us and historically we (Hindus) would paint it on our doors and floors during holy days but i have never seen it painted here in (Canada) except for within our temples.
we don’t do it publicly because we know what it means to anyone who would see it
The swastika was a prominent indigenous North American symbol as well for several tribes.
Most notably the Diné, Hopi, and the Passamaquoddy. For some tribes it’s known as the whirling logs.
the Diné, Apache, Hopi, and Tohono O'odham all signed a proclamation in 1940 denouncing its further use due to the appropriation from the nazis
Like. Whatever European pagan religion you’re tied to doesn’t make it okay or kind to use it publicly.
A lot of cultures had that symbol in some shape or form and yet you don’t really see it anymore because those people have the common sense not to use it publicly and outside of its specific context so that it doesn’t inadvertently fan the flames of antisemetism.
The safety and peace of mind of Jewish people isn’t collateral damage for you to play heathen with

A little early, but my art for St. Lucy’s altar arrived yesterday (from @owlkeyme if you’re curious) so I couldn’t wait.
A prayer to St. Lucy: Saint Lucy, Light-bearing daughter of dawn! Preserve my eyes so I may see the glory of creation. The glow of the sunrise in the darkness, The flicker of the flame that guides me, The radiance of my inner light, Saint Lucy, Bold and brazen woman of light! Guide me to my inner strength so I may be like you. Able to stand my ground and be unmoved, Able to tame the fires used against me, Able to see the truth with eyes reformed, Saint Lucy, Crowned in the flames of Grace! Extend your hand so I may rise anew from the rosy sky. I dispel the darkness before me. I stand tall within my power. I accept the precious gifts you offer.
Sometimes I think I’m funny
the gods have had mentally ill worshippers for as long as they’ve had worshippers.
the gods have had chronically ill worshippers for as long as they’ve had worshippers.
the gods have had neurodivergent worshippers for as long as they’ve had worshippers.
they won’t be offended or think less of you just because your devotion looks different to able-bodied neurotypical devotion. they understand.
On Intuition
When I was a kid with a Silver Ravenwolf book tucked under my arm, a charm from my witchy grandmother, and not a clue in the goddamn world about what I was doing, I achieved a lot.
I was 10 years old with a big imagination and a big heart and wanted to help everyone I came across. I didn’t have money. I didn’t have social ties or basically anything other than an underdeveloped magic practice, a deck of waterlogged tarot cards, and a library card.
Not one person ever questioned a single fucking thing I did. I was making all sorts of shit up as a 10 year old is one to do. And I didn’t really even get a structured practice until … . let me not tell that lie.
It all worked out because there was nothing and no one in the way. I thought it would work, and it did. Every time.
I would be a terrible witch now if someone had questioned me or my methods. I have such fragile self-confidence as it is. One of the few things I am unabashedly confident of is my magic.
When I was in college a girl had a headache but also had an allergy to both NSAIDs and Acetaminophen (Aspirin and ibuprofen). So, I went outside, stole a rock from a bunny. Literally. There was a rabbit on a rock. I gently shooed away the rabbit, and took the rock back to the girl and told her to hold it in both of her hands and concentrate all of her pain into it. It worked.
I rode around with that rock in the back of my 1992 wreck of a car until I traded it in a couple of years ago. I would just hand it to people for healing. I have no idea why I left the rock in the car. I guess it was just time.
That was a long story just to say whatever it is, go with it.

This hit the feels.
