Seeking Asteria

Please call me August. I am a 31 year old Enby in the US. I am a witch and a spirit worker. I just like to reblog things I think are neat. I am very tired.

This is a perfect example of why we need things designed for a variety of body types.  Far too many plus-sized clothes are skinny clothes just made bigger, which rarely (if ever) have the desired effect.  Not only do things not look the same in this context, it’s fair to say they were not designed (or redesigned) to look good on these different body shapes.  The options are often mumus or things not really designed for you.

This man has come up with a variety of amazing outfits that look fantastic on his body. We need more of this.

I love you sir. You are gorgeous and we should say so.

To expand on the crumbling of the patriarchal edifice of the family.

If society agrees that children can know themselves, and have a right to self determination…. Everything else that Conservatives argue they have a right to exert over children crumbles. As just two examples….

ALL corporal punishment rightfully becomes recognised for the assault it is.

Failure to appropriately consider the wishes of children in medical care and provide information in an age appropriate way is recognised as child abuse and malpractice.

Children are entire people, they deserve all of the rights, privileges and protections afforded to adults.

"Stop saying 15 year olds with weird interests are cringe, they're 15" this is true however you should also stop saying adults with weird interests are cringe because who gives a shit

I want to share some wisdom from my high school art teacher.

In my AP Art class, there was a girl who was just starting to experiment with mixed media. At this point she was still playing around, trying to decide what direction she wanted to go with her portfolio. So one critique day, she brought in an abstract canvas with some rhinestone highlights and painted and real peacock feathers. She loved sparkles and peacock feathers so she thought she’d try introducing them a *little*. And after everyone had given some input, the teacher gave her his advice, VERY roughly paraphrased here:

“So here’s the thing… I do not like this style. These are just elements that do not speak to me personally, but I see that you like them, and you’re doing interesting things with them.

“My biggest critique is, I only merely *dislike* this piece. I want you to make me HATE it. Go crazy with the things that you like. Don’t hold back trying to make it palatable to people like me. Because I am NEVER going to like it. And if the audience does not like it, it should drive them crazy seeing how much YOU love it.”

Her portfolio was chock full of neon colors and glitter and rhinestones and splashes of peacock feathers and it was a delight. Our teacher despised every piece lol, but she got great marks and I think even won some awards. And more importantly, she was happy and proud of the results. Because she didn’t limit herself by trying to appeal to people who were never going to enjoy what she enjoyed.

Takeaway here: be as cringe as you want. Don’t limit yourself based on other ppl’s tastes. They’re not you, and you are incredible 💕

This is your witchy reminder to research the author, their background and the source of the information contained in any books that you're reading. There is way too much n@zi bullshit surrounding modern occultism/spiritualism/witchcraft. So, beware of what the roots of that knowledge you're gaining might actually be.

[seeking-asteria]

I took a step back from witchcraft and spirit work for a lot of reasons. I was frustrated by the people parading themselves as leaders of communities while they sneered at anyone who had differing views, opinions, and experiences. I was frustrated by the cults of personality, small as they were, that I saw being fostered. I was frustrated by the people I saw pushing for unhealthy practices, failing to question their experiences, and falling further into their own worlds of unhealthy coping mechanisms. Mostly, I was tired.

I still am. Less so, but I’m still so burned out by the bullshit.

[crazycatsiren]

My one word of advice for the "baby witches" out there: it's understandable if you turned to witchcraft as a rebellion against your Christian upbringing or environment. I myself became a witch to piss off the Catholic Church back after they pissed me off. I get it.

But it doesn't make sense if you're basically still doing Christian fundamentalism but now with a pointy hat in a pentagram.

Not respecting people's boundaries? Unwilling to be open to diversity and different opinions? Acting like your way is the only way and only you're right all the time? Disregarding people of color and ethnic minorities? Getting into other people's business with your own beliefs? "Blessed be" as a "go fuck yourself"?

Think about it for a minute here, does all of the above feel just a bit familiar?

If you're not becoming a witch to be better and do better, then why did you even become a witch in the first place?

No more sterile white boxes.

Your boundaries are their limits.

hey hi hello can you reblog this if you’re a trans-inclusive witchcraft or paganism blog i am fighting for my LIFE out here

Weekly reminder that it's not okay to illegally download and distribute free copies of recently-published books from a niche market where the authors depend directly on monthly royalties to pay their bills.

Books are a luxury and if you can't afford a title, save your pennies or check out a copy from your local library. There are plenty of free resources and public domain texts available in the meantime.

It's worth mentioning that plenty of authors in the witchcraft and pagan markets make a point of providing free resources and advice to the community on a regular basis, myself included. To take that information and then turn around and steal from us on top of it is not only petty, it's cruel, especially considering the financial hardship we're all facing in the current economy.

Download overpriced textbooks and public domain titles, not witch books.
