Raven @ravenandmoon - Tumblr Blog

Welcome

(edit : i find important for you to know that even if this is not my main blog, i still use it like if it was so it will evolve often...)

My tumblr name is Raven (from France - 26 years old). I'm Transmasc Genderfluid (they/he/she) & Asexual and I love cooking, writing (I currently work on 3 or 4 projects), I also love gaming (Mirror's Edge, Baldur's Gate III) and reading.

I'm devoted to Apollon (Mousagétês), Hekate (Enodia), Aphrodite (Areia/Philommeidês/Aphrogeneia).

I'm close to, and I've shrines for, Erebos, Hermes (Diaktoros/Trikephalos), Dionysos, Artemis, Ares, Selene, Athena, Nyx, Hera, Hestia, Zeus, Hepaïstos, Calliope and Hypnos.

I also worship Melinoë, Asteria, Helios, Asclepius, Thanatos, Persephone, Hades, and Eris, but I wish to have shrines for some of them but it's a work in progress.

There is something quite weird looking back at some pictures of my rituals and such, I feel like something has deeply changed but I don't know what I just feel extremely sad about it. As if I miss a part of myself while trying to get back on my practice.

Witchy asks

Do you believe in ghosts and spirits? Any experience with them?

What do you believe happens to us after we die?

How would you describe your personal beliefs/path/practice?

Do you think life is guided by fate, free will or a mix of both?

Do you think dreams have meaning? If so, have you had any meaningful ones you can remember?

Do you carry any good luck charms/talismans on you? How did you get them if so?

Do you believe people can feel the energy others have? If so, do you think you're good at doing so?

Are there specific celebrations you observe (eg. Sabbats.)?

What deities do you worship (if any)? Can you talk about how you connected with them?

What tools do you think are the most important in your practice?

Do you have any stones you favor? If so, which ones?

Ignoring birth month associations, is there an element that you most heavily identify with? Why?

Do you prefer doing spells that are cast and then forgotten? Or do you prefer longer lasting ones, like jar spells, that you keep around?

Is there anywhere spiritually significant to you that you'd want to visit someday?

Do you believe in things such as karma, or the threefold rule?

I have random followers I have an attachment to for no reason and whenever I see them in my notes I'm like "awww it's them :)" and it makes me happy. Listen to me....you never know the full enjoyment you bring to other people's lives

#for fun #not helpol #like “Omg!! they're back!!!”#sometimes I feel like a dog with that reaction but hey it's ok XD #< prev tag #<- same tho

Funny thing is that as a librarian what I hate the most at my own place is to sort my own books. I already know it's a pain in the ass why would I bring that hell in my own home. Meanwhile, I love judging those booktok and bookstagram sorting systems like, "yeah the rainbow sorting is cute i guess... until the 5 books long series you enjoy as a different color for each books...".

#I can't even go with alphabet because I've too many different format and 3 shelves to work with #now I have manage to put almost all my sci-fi and fantasy novel together but the key word is almost #not helpol

Fuck Your Magic Antisemitism: A Lesser Key to the Appropriation of Jewish Magic & Mysticism

I am once again asking practitioners of magic, mysticism, and occultism to defer to Jewish voices and Jewish practitioners about the history and real-life impacts of appropriation of and theft from Judaism and Jewish mysticism instead of deferring to the opinions of non-Jewish occultists. I am also asking you to use discernment when engaging with revisionist history perpetuated by non-Jewish practitioners who profit or benefit from said revisionist history, such as claims that Jewish practitioners willingly "shared" or "gave" our practices with/to other communities, the refusal to acknowledge Jewish authorship, or the speaking over Jewish voices/attempts made by non-Jewish practitioners to speak for Jewish practitioners.

Now, I understand this can be overwhelming and many may not know where or how to begin, so I want to drop a recommendation. Fuck Your "Magic" Antisemitism: A Lesser Key to the Appropriation of Jewish Magic & Mysticism by Ezra Rose is an excellent place to start. This zine, which you can download for free (please leave a donation to support the author if you are able, and please share their work), is a wonderful treasure trove of history and resources. Per the author's description of the zine: FYMA is 'a guide to understanding the history and results of antisemitism in western occult and esoteric movements, from the origins of "Solomonic" magic in medieval and Renaissance ceremonial grimoires, through the late 19th & early 20th century occult revival's "Qabalistic" ritual, to ongoing appropriation and demonization in the 21st century. A labor of love & spite, the zine is both a personal and academic look at a widely ignored topic.'

I have recommended this zine several times and have said that I think it should be required reading in witchcraft and witchcraft adjacent communities, and I stand by that. It's very, very good, and it is absolutely packed with thoroughly researched, cited, useful information.

Learning "small talks" is hard but it's saving my sanity in my work days because no more awkward silence !

#hermes deity #also I feel more social than ever doing this instead of talking for hours about “deep stuff” just to soothe my anxiety

BG3 obsession goes so hard I use the xp system for my own organization (this is fun)

ravenandmoon

now my goal is to find out how to make my most productive time of the day worth it without giving up on my sleep (because those times are during the night and the morning)

BG3 obsession goes so hard I use the xp system for my own organization (this is fun)

Dionysos presence feels strong in my mind right now

First time in my life that I have almost all my shit together and turns out it is just because my internship fit my chaotic brain (I got to do hefting yesterday and today this was so much fun, I did complain about not having music while doing it but it turned out alright). I also get to do repetitive shit but it comes with the fact that I am almost always on my computer which is basically hell for my eyes so I shift between : lifting heavy stuff, doing repetitive things we have to do, working on my main project, and speaking to people (I hate meeting new people but talking to the one I know soothe my anxiety).

#personal thoughts #slice of my life

Decide I would try again the experimental mindset thing because this could actually be the way I just need to stop thinking that it is "all or nothing"...

#personal shit #organization #goals

apparently, trying to daily worship deities when you barely keep track of what day it is, is, in fact, hard.
