Things I think are red flags in the spiritualist community and why:

❗️ Those who claim to speak for deities or who claim to receive messages (about other people) from deities :: I’ve had many people in the spiritualist community contact me claiming that their deity gave them a message for me. Sometimes I’ve had people be respectful and ask me first “can I give you a message from ____” and I appreciate that but I always tell them “no.” Other times I’ve had people send me messages that start with “My Goddess ____ told me you’re relationship is in danger of…” with a whole message attached, from this stranger, proclaiming their God/Goddess told them to tell me this. I find these interactions to be super uncomfortable and I think they cross many common sense boundaries. I’ve also been told by self proclaimed psychics that “God” wants me to know [insert something scary, toxic or dangerous here] and that now that they’ve told me this, I’m reasonable for what happens next. — This goes without saying but if you’re actually seeking out someone who works with, receives messages from or claims to speak for deities because you want to get a message, then obviously take this warning with a grain of salt. But also be careful of those trying to manipulate you and scare you into obedience with these sort of claims.

❗️Anyone who claims to be an authority on magic or witchcraft :: “This is the only way to do [insert very general practice here] and if you do it differently then you’re not an actual witch (or you don’t practice real magic).” Usually these types of toxic spiritualist lurk in Wicca communities (no offense to my wiccan witch friends, a lot of y’all are cool) or they’re, unsurprisingly, culturally appropriating a closed practice that they’re actually not a part of or have any rights to.

❗️ Witches who culturally appropriate from closed practices they have no rights to and aren’t a part of :: I’m sorry but non Indigenous American 20 and 30 something year old “shamans” on Instagram, Etsy, YouTube wherever selling dream catchers and smudge sticks will never sit right with me. And if you even hint that they’re doing something wrong by profiting off of someone else’s culture they either block you or claim some long lost relative from 200 years ago was apart of X culture and so they use that to claim some sort of rights to it. I don’t trust these people.

❗️ Anyone who suggests that you use drugs to “open up your psychic abilities” :: This is really just a red flag in general lol. Don’t take drugs from random strangers and don’t start doing drugs just because some white woman with dreads and dirty feet told you an acid trip would help you get to the astral plane or receive messages from your “spirit animal.” Just be careful who you’re trusting in these situations.

❗️ Anyone selling “spirit companions” :: This is an ethical issue with me and also I’m just hardwired to not believe that the rock or bottle you purchased for $40 is anything more than a rock or bottle. These “spirit shops” are cringe at best and scams at worst. I do not trust them and I don’t trust people who participate in them. It gives very much LARPing vibes. — if you’re interested in the idea of something kinda like “spirit companionship” I suggest looking into chaos magic, specifically Servitors. It’s not exactly the same thing but at least you’re not putting your trust into someone claiming to capture spirits to then sell or “adopt” (as they like to call it).

❗️ If they claim that you’re disability or mental illness is at all related to your spiritual practice or is some sort of karmic thing :: I don’t trust anyone who says that the voices people, with mental illnesses like schizophrenia, hear are demons or spirits or god. And you’re not disabled because of some “generational” curse (or any curse). If someone tells you these things I suggest you politely excuse yourself from any further interactions with that person.

Vegans of tumblr, listen up. Harvesting agave in the quantities required so you dont have to eat honey is killing mexican long-nosed bats. They feed off the nectar and pollinate the plants. They need the agave. You want to help the environment? Go back to honey. Your liver and thyroid will thank you, as well. Agave is 90% fructose, which can cause a host of issues. Bye.

Also, eating honey literally helps bees and in no way harms them. In fact, if honey is left in their hives it will ferment and as a result it will begin making the bees very sick. Please just eat the fucking honey.

I work on a farm with bees and I’m telling you, honey harvesting is good for bees!

Calico Cat

The cat is the watchful guardian of the patronus world, and embodies the dichotomy of things, often managing to be two opposing things at once. Fickle but somehow also loyal, they tend to be quite clever and alert individuals who know when to move and when to take it easy, and as such have excellent patience when it suits them. They may seem laid back, but do not forget that the cat is a hunter. Calicos are hailed as extremely observant, lucky cats, and those with a calico may have an uncanny ability to make things happen or to affect outcomes to make them more favorable. Whether or not they actually move to do so depends on the person. Calicos can be quite rare as far as cats go, but tend to be affectionate, “sweet”-natured people who bond well with others but still manage to maintain their independence. The calico coat color is special in that, due to its weird genetic combination, it can’t really be bred for. Black and orange are the cat’s two base colors, and white is a color mutation. As this is tied to the X chromosome, nearly all calico (and tortoiseshell) cats are female. Male calicos exist, but are extremely rare and tend to be sterile or suffer from health problems as nature’s rules say they are not really supposed to exist. Tri-colored cats have been a popular fur type and a symbol of good luck since time immemorial, particularly in places like Japan, and are associated with good fortune, protection, and purity. They’ve found their way into paintings worldwide, and even their own works of fiction writing.

House Cleansings & Blessings

practical and simple ways to cleanse and bless your home 🌿

🌿 burn cedar sticks or cedar incense. cedar helps drive away negative influences, energies, and spirits. really good herb to work with when moving into a new space. helps with protection on all levels.

🌿 sprinkle a blend of salt, sage, and mint on the floors to soak up all the negative energies on the ground and vacuum up when you feel it has picked everything up. clean out all that salt from your vaccuun and dispose of it in the trash outside (not in nature)

🌿 diffuse lavender oil. lavender oil is very protective and helps bring serenity and peace into a space.

🌿 manifest abundance and prosperity by meditating with citrine and placing it in your home. place a clear quartz next to it to amplify abundant energies

🌿 make a crystal gird out of selenite, black tourmaline and white jade. these crystals will create a barrier of protection around your house and they will cleanse the hell out of it.

🌿 place pieces of selenite in windowsills, this will purify energy coming in and out of the house. immediately raises the vibration of the room

🌿 when burned, palo santo releases a cleansing smoke filled with healing energies. great for filling spaces with good health and fortune

🌿 ask your spirits/deities to cleanse, protect, and bless your space and leave them offerings when you are done

🌿 sandalwood incense raises vibrations, cleanses, offers psychic protection, and helps to open up psychic awareness

🌿 amethyst is not only a enhances the intuition and increases calm energies, it is also very protective and will shield you from psychic attacks

🌿 work with the elements for protection, meditation and visualization works well

🌿 visualize an impenetrable bubble of protection surrounding your home protecting you from all lower energies

🌿 visualize a waterfall pouring into your space washing away all stagnant and negative energy leaving your space with abundant and healthy energy

🌿 put mint leaves all around your house, in your windowsills, in your shoes, jewelry boxes, altar, etc. to protect you from evil intentions. also good for protecting your home from misfortune

🌿 wind chimes will warn you when a negative spirit is around, there sound will also help drive them off your property

🌿 cinnamon is extremely protective, i love dressing candles with ground cinnamon for cleansing and protection

🌿 burning dragon’s blood incense will create a wall of fire protecting you and your space, also a really good incense for clearing bad spirits

🌿 sleep with a lavender sachet underneath your pillow to protect you from psychic vampires

🌿 labradorite protects you and your home from demons

🌿 placing a vase of flowers in a room will lift the energy and invite positive energy in. use different flowers for attracting different things example sunflowers for happiness, roses for love, marigolds for success and creativity, etc.

I have this planner with these absolutely ridiculous pages with like “motivational” quotes on them that are just these bullshit things like “Let your heart sing” and “Always believe in your dreams”

and like that’s always struck me as such meaningless bullshit, I’ve always hated those. They’ve never had that element that truly motivates me.

So, I took matters into my own hands and I made my own artsy motivational wallpapers. Enjoy.

Freud was wrong about a lot of things but he had a point when he said that humor is a form of socially acceptable aggression
