Help maybe?

Haven’t touched this blog in forever but I’ve had several friends and even a few strangers give the same vague warnings and most of them then have no immediate recall of it or are just like “oh adhd, just had to get it out” like it wasn’t terrifying. All variations of “don’t trust him” “blue “right (the orientation) is important” “why aren’t you talking to him?”. When I first asked who ‘he’ was my friend literally screamed in my face “you started the conversation!”and then couldn’t remember it at all. Some friends have even had dreams of a male figure trying to interrupt our conversation and touch me but I can’t see him at all.

on top of that my life is sort of falling apart. I’m at risk of homelessness (again), my jobs up in the air, a lot of friends are suddenly ghosting me, and I’m sick. Like the worst case of tonsillitis I’ve ever had that nearly had me hospitalised and does have me bedridden, a week before the play I’m goes up so that might have to be cancelled. I’m feeling like something is attacking me honestly.

I don’t know what is happening but it’s been about a month of slow build up and it’s spooky and I don’t like it. I’m a very simple kitchen witch. I deal in tea’s, occasionally food, and maybe some sigils. Most of my practice is just redirected home worship of the Christian god. Idk how to handle whatever this intenseness is.

someone keeps reaching out to me and idk if it’s a spirit or a goddess but I would like to know how to politely ask her to please stop and leave me alone

[christowitch]

Honestly if it’s a Goddess you just kind of poliely smile and say thanks but I’m taken. If it’s a spirit you might need to put up some wards or bless a piece of jewelry with shielding from spirit.

[kitchenwitchupinthisbitch]

When I feel something is bothering me and I'm unsure of what it is and want it to leave me alone, I always say Thanks but no thanks.

[sigils-n-tea]

I’ve tried that a few times, but she’s continuing to reach out to me so I’m not sure if there’s a communication issue on my end or if she’s just ignoring me.

She doesn’t feel malicious in anyway, just very insistent. She keeps trying to give me shells? Which is sweet but I don’t want the shells.

@christowitch would you have any recommendations on warding resources? That’s not something I’m educated on at all

my girlfriends grandmother basically sold her to the fae and we’re fucking losing our shit

[serving-count]

Right so I'm christian but facineated by witchcraft and similar and always wanted to try it, so is there a way the two can mix? I'm not that find of the church's patriarchy and stuff but Christ and Mary are big with me and God and that. A bit of a ramble but any guidance or advice in starting out with witchcraft (can you do it as a non-binary? I'm so out of it I'm sorry) and with the christian side of it? Thank you :)

[sigils-n-tea]

There are plenty of Christian witches! And plenty on non-binary witches!

Unfortunately you do get some nastiness coming with both sides of that. Some pagan witches, or non-religious witches, insist that Christians can’t be witches. A lot of Christians also insist that you cannot be both a Christian and a witch but it’s simply another way to connect with God.

You also get a lot of transphobia and misandry coming from certain groups of witches, they have an idea that only Women™️ can be witches. But there are many trans, non-binary, and male witches out there.

As for getting started, I’m probably not the most helpful being a spoonie and still finding my own path. Following some witch blogs that align with your path should be helpful though.

I reccomend looking through the baby witch and christian witch tags.

Hope that helps a little!

I just love how perfect it was explained even without using words.

this would be great to teach children and maybe new Christians what it means to be washed clean of sin through Christ.

Spirit Work: Red Flags!

Spirit work has always been a huge part of my life, ever since I was a wee two year old toddling around my grandmother’s house. In my two decades of talking to the otherworldly, I have run into horrible spirits and gotten into toxic situations. Evil spirits (and morally grey ones) can and will deceive you. This is a list of signs that the spirit you’re interacting with is toxic or may hurt you.

1. You feel anxious, scared, or a sense of foreboding when interacting with them or when they are around.

This is also known as a sense of dread. Some spirits have heavier energies, but if you are feeling dread, trust your intuition and BANISH immediately. Cut all contact.

2. The name they give you keeps changing.

Some spirits have personal reasons to not give you their true name. This can be a red flag sometimes, but not all of the time. However, having a name that never stays the same is a red flag. It’s a form of deceit and manipulation. 

3. It’s too good to be true.

If a spirit comes to you like “YOU ARE THE MOST POWERFUL HUMAN EVER, I HAVE A MESSAGE FOR YOU” or some over the top theatrical stuff, it’s usually a trick. Don’t let them in your life. This isn’t to say that a spirit coming to you and claiming to know you or want to help you is always bad, but be wary.

CW: assaulty, abusive stuff next

4. They manipulate how you feel towards them.

Some spirits, typically those that feed off of sexual energy, will put you in a haze. You will see no wrong in what they do. You may be very sexually attracted to them out of no where or somehow just give in to their advances. This can also take the form of unhealthy levels of dependence and even worship.

5. They manipulate how you feel towards others.

Just like humans, bad spirits want to isolate you and make you more vulnerable. You may find yourself getting into more fights with friends or family. You may have several falling outs and not know why. The spirit will literally be a voice just telling you everyone is horrible and against you.

6. They hurt you.

This can be emotional, psychological, or physical. Scratches, bruises, bite marks, sore limbs, all of it can happen. They can break you down emotionally and break you psychologically. This is usually coupled with gaslighting.

7. They make you feel powerless.

These spirits know they can be banished, so they will make you think that you’re too weak to do so. They make you give in and give up.

8. Unwanted switching/possession/oppression.

Once they have enough of a hold on you, these spirits will literally take over your thoughts. They can even take over your words and actions. Switching is a common thing in spirit companionship, but non-consensual switching is a huge red flag.

What do I do if there are red flags?

Remember that you are always in control. You are the conjurer, you are the medium. No matter how powerful a spirit claims to be, you can always get rid of them. Banish them and ward yourself. Step away from spirit work and tune out of the other world until you recover. Focus on the mundane until you have healed.

Lucid Lemon Tarts

You will need:

Curd

2 large eggs

1/3 cup lemon juice, approx. 2 lemons

1 egg yolk

¼ teaspoon vanilla extract

½ cup sugar

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold

1 tablespoon heavy cream

¼ tsp salt

Tartlet Dough

1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour

1 stick (8 tbsps) unsalted butter

¼ cup granulated sugar

¼ tsp salt

1 egg yolk

Witchy Ingredients

Lemon Juice

Vanilla Extract

Instructions:

1. Cut the butter for the dough into the all-purpose flour, making sure to cut off small chunks at a time.

2. Using your hands, crumble the flour and butter together until it has a nice, sandy/crumbly consistency.

3. Fold in sugar, egg yolk, and salt. Stir until combined. Once uniform, fold and knead with your hands on a lightly floured surface.

4. Spray or grease a mini-muffin tin. Roll out the dough so as to cut it into rounds to fit the tin. You can also take spoonfuls of dough and press them directly into the tin, using a small shot glass to press down into the dough to create a well.

5. Bake tartlet dough at 350F (175C) for about 20 minutes, or until nice and golden. Set aside to cool while you make the lemon curd.

6. Heat your lemon juice in a small pot until steaming, do not boil. 

7. In a separate bowl, whisk eggs and gradually add sugar and vanilla until well combined and uniform in color. Slowly whisk in hot lemon juice, stirring to combine.

8. Return mixture to pot and heat over medium, stirring constantly. You want the curd to reach a temperature of 170F (75C) but if you don’t have a candy thermometer, cook/stir until the mixture coats the back of your spoon without sliding off.

9. Remove from pan and cut the butter reserved for the lemon curd into the pot in small chunks. Stir to combine.

10. Cool the lemon curd before spooning into the cooled tartlet cups.

Where will you incorporate Kitchen Magick?

Lemons - Lemons, funnily enough, have a planetary connection to the moon and are frequently used by water elementals. Good for use when trying to please/make an offering to Diana. Longevity, happiness, friendship.

Vanilla - Associated with venus and most often used in love potions. Water elemental and feminine. Vanilla is thought of as an ingredient well-associated with hospitality, calmness, soothing, and mental clarity.

Tips/Tricks

If you undercook the lemon curd and find that the consistency is too lose when you add the butter, just pop it back on the stove and heat/stir it over medium until the consistency is thick enough to be spooned into the tartlet cups!

My tartlets are above! I added some candied lemon peel for a little decoration :)

A note for baby witches

Western media likes to portray witches as either synonymous with Wicca, Medieval High Ceremonial magic, or just straight-up crazy goth girls. Some people are into those things, but that’s not the only kind of witchcraft that exists.

There are magical traditions in every culture and religious pursuasion, but it’s an inadequacy of the English language when we assume “witch” must equate to Wicca, Medieval High Ceremonial magic, or otherwise vaguely metaphysical traditions rooted in Europe.

Go research magical traditions in other cultures. There are TONS. If the gothic white European spin on witchcraft doesn’t work for you, look elsewhere. You don’t have to be Wiccan to be a witch—Wicca is a religion, whereas witchcraft is a universally-practiced phenomenon that transcends religious affiliation.

You don’t have to summon demons or draw pentagrams on everything to be a witch. You don’t have to follow Wiccan beliefs. You don’t have to celebrate Samhain or meditate with crystals or do tarot. You don’t need a familiar, you don’t need to obsess over ghosts or want to curse people. You don’t “need” anything but your own personal convictions and beliefs, a healthy understanding of what you want in life, and a willingness to learn and change. Anyone who tells you that you “need” to buy all these fancy supplies and subscribe to a specific religion in order to be a “real” witch is deluded. No one defines your magical practice but you.

For all you baby witches who have no earthly idea where to start learning about witchcraft, I absolutely recommend Judika Illes’ “Encyclopedia of Witchcraft”. She’s an incredible author whose books are rich with historic, anthropologic, and culturally-diverse information about witchcraft. You’ll learn about the history of the Witch Craze of 15th century Europe; famous grimoires; the origins of witchcraft, and their roots in older female shamanic traditions; various spirits associated with witchcraft; and a whole encyclopedia of magical terms from many different cultures. It’s SO useful. Please read it.

If you want to get into witchcraft, don’t feel obligated to only study Wicca or medieval European occultism. There’s so much more to it than that. If you find Wicca or High Ceremonial magic really speak to you, cool! But research the hell out of witchcraft in general. Odds are, there’s a tradition or practice that really speaks to you on a deep, spiritual level. In the end, you want to feel more connected to yourself and to nature through your practice. It should never make you feel “bad” or uncomfortable. It should feel like coming home.

Sorry this was kinda long. But read “The Encyclopedia of Witchcraft” by Judika Illes! Seriously, it’s a baby witch’s jackpot.

here’s my take on himalayan pink salt: it tends to be listed  as associated with love and friendship and positivity because it’s pink, but do you know why it is pink? because of the high iron content in it. iron, as in blood and rusted swords. think of it: blood salts. warding against fae tricksters, perhaps a blood substitute for some workings, an ingredient for binding oaths and for curses, a powerful but personal protector. strength, revenge, rawness. nothing wrong with the original associations, just a thought. i personally wouldn’t consider it as strong a purifier/energetic cleanser due to iron technically being an impurity.

Ancient moon priestesses were called virgins. ‘Virgin’ meant not married, not belonging to a man - a woman who was ‘one-in-herself’. The very word derives from a Latin root meaning strength, force, skill; and was later applied to men: virle. Ishtar, Diana, Astarte, Isis were all all called virgin, which did not refer to sexual chastity, but sexual independence. And all great culture heroes of the past, mythic or historic, were said to be born of virgin mothers: Marduk, Gilgamesh, Buddha, Osiris, Dionysus, Genghis Khan, Jesus - they were all affirmed as sons of the Great Mother, of the Original One, their worldly power deriving from her. When the Hebrews used the word, and in the original Aramaic, it meant ‘maiden’ or ‘young woman’, with no connotations to sexual chastity. But later Christian translators could not conceive of the ‘Virgin Mary’ as a woman of independent sexuality, needless to say; they distorted the meaning into sexually pure, chaste, never touched. —Monica Sjoo
