“Our notions about happiness entrap us. We forget that they are just ideas. Our idea of happiness can prevent us from actually being happy. We fail to see the opportunity for joy that is right in front of us when we are caught in a belief that happiness should take a particular form.”
— Thich Nhat Hanh
Medication Helps Me Be a Better Witch
I might be preaching to the choir some on this one, but many people still believe that mental medications dampen your spiritual connection/power. I have pretty severe combined-type ADHD and a mood disorder called cyclothymia. Here's how my craft has changed after being put on medication, including oh-so-scary mood stabilizers:
I haven't had a panic attack in months. I still feel genuine happiness and sadness, but it's within a healthy range so that I don't flip out in either direction. This helps me think things through a lot more rationally than I could before.
I have a lot better discernment. Because I have a better grip on reality, it's a lot easier to tell when something is genuine vs. wishful desperation.
I'm not shredding my wallet from impulse-buying witchy tools or supplies I like the look of but will never actually use.
I can get moving. Executive dysfunction sucks and stopped me from doing a lot of spells, meditations, etc. I'm still developing discipline, but it's a lot easier to follow through now. I also don't leave offerings rotting on the table for days anymore.
That frantic urge to rush is curbed, so I'm more content slowly building strong skills in the basics instead of taking on too much at once.
My interests have kind of shifted. As I've worked on myself, I've noticed I used some aspects of the craft as coping mechanisms, and they no longer serve me like they used to. That's fine, and I can be comfortable shedding them without fear or guilt.
All those snoody wellness tricks actually help some now. Nothing is worse than the "Go outside! Have you tried yoga??" people. (You ever just wanted to mug somebody?) You can't go outside if you're issues are keeping you paralyzed. With some of the pressure alleviated. I can actually do yoga, sit outside, take showers, etc. more easily. It's not a miracle cure, but it feels nice.
Remember to take your meds today!
I think the fast paced society we live in currently has brainwashed me into thinking i can upgrade myself and my life just as fast as when i restart my computer or phone. I have forgotten the natural cycles of life… how the moon takes her time to be full or how the crops take their time to grow their fruits.
i finally fully understand manifestation: it’s literally just KNOWING. no ifs, no buts, JUST KNOW. no wondering how or when, just knowing that it’s 100% coming. get EXCITED because it’s literally done !!!

I love how the search function on this site is absolute garbage. I can look up a post word for word and I will NEVER find it
Pro tip:
Wanna find a post?
Write out what you remember into a Google search.
After you write that out, end with site:tumblr.com
Google will search for your text on just tumblr
In my experience, it’s way more effective than searching through Tumblr
(you can use site:SITENAME.com to search any site btws)
This usually works but for some reason a lot of posts get indexed on google from a person’s URL based on the posts that were recently reblogged on page 1, meaning that this is only a tiny bit more reliable.
I HAVE a solution to this, you have to write down site:tumblr.com/post “ “
and then write a direct quote (could be a fraction of a sentence) into the quotations, I’ve been doing this for years, and it’s so useful, it works like 99% of the time
(the more popular a post is the more likely you’ll find it)
you’re a genius holy shit
BEE DAGGER !!
i’m forever a lover of the stars and the moon
Tag yourself! Reveal Your True Form would be me! (Spoiler: I am a dragon!)

Raise the vibration
I’m very excited for my latest craft experiment, where I rhythmically slap sale rank oil paint onto a canvas and I see how long it takes to dry so that I can finally touch the paint textures I stare at so longingly in museums. 12 hours in, still wet. I am beginning to think this might take longer than I thought which you can imagine is quite a burden, as I am absolutely horned up to rub this paint.
You guys sound like you know what you’re talking about but I’m gonna touch it every twenty minutes just to be sure
I’ve put this canvas to age in the basement like a fine wine, along another recent masterpiece of mine “I put the paint on me hand and I slap the canvas like a bongo”
Paint slapped on 6/9, as of 6/22 (I mean actually it was a couple days ago but I didn’t fully check the dryness then so I can’t be sure):
It is rubbery feeling and the peaks of paint move when you flick them. The texture is not at ALL what I expected tbh and it makes me excited to try a different experiment, thick brush strokes, you know, those mad thicc ones that swirl real good
Here’s an additional shot with my coffee cup for a further sense of scale so people will understand that these canvases are small and therefore stop sending me asks about my supposedly gorilla sized hands, you bastards, you rotten bastards scared of the hands your minds gave me
I don’t know shit about art but isn’t this like a great example of art that pushes the boundaries of what art is? Like you’ve got your canvas with paint on it, but your reason for putting the paint there is totally different than why most people put paint on stuff. It’s like a study on texture or something.
Agreed, this is really cool and also I love the fact that you really wanted to touch some paint, so you just went out and bought a bunch of paint and made your own painting for touching purposes. That’s striking me as really really cool right now for reasons I can’t entirely articulate.
For reference: Really thick paint on a piece of art is called impasto. Another really fun way to do it is with a painting knife: you can make each stroke SUPER SMOOTH like cake icing, but with visible, touchable texture between the strokes.
More impasto:
art by Jan Ironside, who does THICK IMPASTO FLOWERS THAT I SO WANT TO TOUCH
You LITERALLY sat down to watch paint dry…
Museums should have stuff like this on display JUST so you can touch it. With a sign like, “Feel me up! I won’t alarm!”
make good art
Only thing about thick impasto is that the paint can get a bit sharp sometimes. Like, I’ve cut my hand on dried impasto paint because the paint stroke was that pointed. -.-;
Every reply on this post is delightful
sorry this is not relevant at all but ive seen this post many times and EVERY SINGLE TIME “ stop sending me asks about my supposedly gorilla sized hands, you bastards, you rotten bastards scared of the hands your minds gave me” makes me spiral ive never laughed so hard thank you
I feel like the line between “fluffy uwu self care” and “get your shit together self care” is thinner than people seem to think. Like, sitting in a quiet space with a book and maybe some twinkly fairy lights gives me the spoons to go call my damn doctor like I’ve been meaning to. Bath bombs or shower steamers make me feel content and/or sparkly, which gives me confidence to go out in public. (Plus, I bathed.) I dye my hair funky colors so if I feel like people are staring at me I can say it’s at that instead of whatever my anxiety wants it to be.
The two are not mutually exclusive, is what I’m getting at, and I never see that mentioned, just either “self care is being nice to yourself” or “self care is kicking yourself in the ass to function for a few hours”. Kick yourself in the ass with niceness.
