I think witchcraft has rules and has no rules at the same time.

And the rules, or the lack of thereof, depend on the individual witch, on their personal life and beliefs.

(I haven't posted in.. quite some time..)

It'd been a bit since I redid my altar space, but I took time to clean everything up and reorganize Artemis' place. I think I want to set it up on a wood block or something for good measure (but it might already be too much as is.)

In my experience with Artemis, she hasn't asked for a lot. She'll be quiet for a while but always reassures me with my anxiety on possibly doing things to upset her.

Ever since... yeah. She's been silent, and all I feel is the anguish and rage. I'm planning on making her a proper offering bowl soon, but in the meantime, I'm trying to light her candle as often as I can. I just want to support her and my loved ones so much right now..

Does anyone else do some spell work and then leave it there for a bit? It's hard to find the time to clean but at least it looks awesome and the vibes are immaculate in the mean time!

are people that lazy to need this

[earliestest]

While I’m sure there are people too lazy to spin a fork, keep in mind people like this person who may be suffering from arthritis or a neurological disease or nerve damage or a thousand other conditions that might impair their ability to do things as simple as spin a fork to eat spaghetti. 

These are used with people who can’t grip well: 

This is for Parkinsons’s: 

For people who can’t even bend their joints: 

Here’s a product that guides your hand from your plate to your mouth 

This one holds a sandwich 

Like I get it. I used to see things like the fork and think “that’s fuckin’ lazy” or that product that holds a gallon and you just tip it and pour. But then I started working around the disabled and impaired and found out that these products aren’t meant for lazy people, they’re meant for people who need help. 

So maybe next time you see something, instead of thinking “Wow, are people that lazy?” just be grateful that you’re able to do the things you do every day and take for granted, like being able to feed yourself and wipe your own ass because you have enough coordination and bendy joints to do it. 

[lemonpixycat]

This isn’t specualtion either; the majority of products from commericals that we think are funny or silly are autally MEANT for hte disabled.But they are marketed towards the abled because the disabled aren’t considered a viable enough demographic on their own. the Snuggie for example? Created for wheelchair users.

[grannythots-deactivated20190917]

This is actually really nifty.

[toothmuncher3000]

oh my god of course the snuggie was for wheelchair users

[bungleboobs]

The fact that anyone buys these products besides disabled people drastically lowers the price of them. These would normally cost hundreds if not thousands if dollars. Because if spent time and money creating it, the company wants to get more than that back. And they can’t do that if they sell and market these primarily to disabled people for $20-$40 a piece or whatever. They’d lose money on production. If they can sell hundreds of them to everyone, they can lower the price drastically and therefore disabled people don’t die while trying to scrape up the money to buy these things and be a bit more independent.

[mistersaturn123]

I never considered that last part and that’s actually genius

[ruffboi-mags]

Like yeah, a handful of people ARE that lazy.

But those are the people who use these products even though they don’t need them and thus allow the price to be lower for those who DO.

So honestly in this case good bless the lazy and those prone to gimmicks because they are invaluable to the elderly and disabled in this sense.

[alwaysatomicconniseur]

@thebibliosphere Look! People learning about disability and why to be kind!

[thebibliosphere]

The normalization of disability aids needs to be a thing precisely so they can cost less.

HOW COULD YOU FORGET

[witchesversuspatriarchy]

You are a witch, they should be afraid of you

[starry-eyed-wolf]

Over the past few years the crystal family has grown exponentially. While I do use then in spells and the like I'm glad they now have a 'home'. I think they seem to be quite happy and content!

The shelf I thrifted and repainted. It is being held to the wall with command straps for the time being but it should be fine.

(The chips in the jars on top were a gift and came in a set but I'm not sure where they're from exactly. They mostly seem real but the clear quartz and "rock crystal"... probably glass lol but that's alright)

when i got home after the new years celebrations last night, i took off my boots and found this pin stuck in the bottom of one of them,, a good sign for the new year perhaps ? :-)

Low Energy Witchcraft

I'm neurodivergent and i experience really intense burnout. I get to a point where I struggle to even get out of bed, take my meds, remember to drink water, let alone practice. But, when I want to practice i have a list of things i can usually do. Everyone's experiences with burn out/low energy are different so this list may not apply to you, and that's okay. Take what resonates, leave what doesn't and i hope you enjoy my silly little list :)

create a playlist and infuse it with an intention. eg, a money spell playlist filled with songs about wealth.

draw sigils with soap when in the shower. (you can also use a wet wipe if you can't shower)

found some juice? give it a little shake and use the ingredients as a spell.

have food that has grains as ingredients? wow! an abundance spell!

the classic add intention to your tea and coffee.

bind your hair. for me with is as simple as putting my hair in a ponytail.

watch a witchy video. while not technically practising witchcraft, sometimes all you need is to sit back and relax to connect with your practice.

when I have a decent amount of energy I'll grab a large pillar candle and carve sigils into it. I use it as a long-term spell; all I have to do to activate it is light the candle. I like to light one of these spell candles when I'm having a bad day.

if you're religious, pray. Even if you're lying in bed. Even if you haven't showered in a week. If it makes you happy and you can, do it

burn some insence! it smells good, you don't have to really worry about forgetting about it, it's good for cleansing. it's great!

take a nap with some crystals. any restorative crystals or calming crystals work great! just make sure that they aren't geodes or roughs. i'd hate for you to hurt yourself while sleeping.

if you don't have any crystals for your nap, set an intention instead. please let yourself rest.

It's important to remember that you're allowed to take breaks from your craft. If you're forcing yourself to practice when you have no energy because "that's what a good witch would do!" then you're probably going to make your situation worse. it's a great way to fall out of love with witchcraft. give yourself some grace. rest is infinitely more important than 1 full moon, 1 new moon, or missing your daily/weekly/monthly cleanse. You aren't a bad person if you don't pull your morning tarot card or check the astrology forecast for today. and you aren't a bad person if you miss your daily prayer. take care of yourself. your health is WAY more important than your craft. Go get a drink of water and take care of yourself <3

Tonight’s Sturgeon moon, August 11th, 2022

Fishing tribes named this full moon the “sturgeon moon” since the sturgeon in the Great Lakes are more abundant this month. A few tribes called it the Full Red Moon because, as the moon rises, it appears red. It was also called the Green Corn Moon or Grain Moon.

This moon will be the last super moon of the year. The surgeon moon marks the end of summer and the beginning of the harvest season. If you have been struggling with unproductivity, the sturgeon moon has shown up in the sky as a sign of positive change. This moon brings emotional healing, so if you went through heartbreak recently, the pain should ease a little with this moon.

Take this time to focus on your heart chakra and ask yourself what you can do to make your life better.

In other news I got my hands on herbs and learned how to make a money bowl/dish so I'm sitting with my abundance spell complete with an oil and herb dressed candle in the salt dish with more money/abundance herbs and I feel so offical!

-Not to say I wasn't before and absolutely you do not need all of the things to do stuff (literally bought herbs, the dish, salt, etc at the dollar store) but I don't know it does definitely feel heightened and more intense which is pretty cool. Also I've never put herbs on a candle before so the random sudden crackles keep scaring me lol but they also scented the candle just enough to give the room a hint of spice and it is very nice.

[starry-eyed-wolf]

It's been, what, 2 days and like half of the water in my ward is just gone. I added more moon water but I honestly don't know.

Nobody would've drank it, I live with cats but they never go in the room and they easily would've knocked things over/around getting to it if they did. I do have skulls a little buckle for Hades and Persephone but I don't exactly work with them or anyone. I don't know if someone/something mistook it as an offering (literally moon water charged with confidence and love, and a piece of clear quartz in a little glass dish) or what. I guess if someone needed or wanted that it's cool obviously but just concerning lol I'm sure the ward itself still works fine (it still feels very light and calm) but I don't know I worry.
