Hey everyone, I'm back from hiatus (kind of), and I decided to make something cool looking about my favorite background witch, Sarah Bernhardt!
Just to put this out here...
If you’re a part of this new ‘Witch-Tok”, and falling in with the false claims, bad practices, and disseminating of terrible, bad, wrong information, then I have one request.
Stop. Just stop.
You have baby witches, who’ve had no advantage of an elder to teach them, being given information like: “Belladonna seeds are good to make into tea”. Which will, at the very least, make you bad-trip for hours, or days. At worst, (and far more likely), it will kill you as every part of it is toxic to living things.
Either talk to an active, practicing witch, or do some real research, before trying to teach baby witches.
Also, in agreement with a youtuber I watched recently. Baby witches, if you’ve had a bad day, and are interacting with these ‘big bad’ ‘witches’ who are claiming they hex people all the time? No. No they aren’t. Those who do those sorts of things don’t actually talk about it. They definitely don’t fucking brag about it.
I say these things as a practicing witch of 23 years.
I will also say that if you are a babywitch (or other) with questions, I would be glad to answer them to the best of my ability. If I can’t, I can at least send you to good resources.
I'd love to call this a friendly witchy reminder...
Im just not that friendly
In all my years as a practitioner I thought I heard it all but then someone hits me with:
"Oh, yeah? Well Im a witch"
And....?
Im not sure when in the last few decades we began spouting our practice as a threat or boast
Am I supposed to immediately freak out and swoon? Am I supposed to be fearful or in awe?
Tacking "witch" as a title on yourself proves nothing and it doesnt make you "omg edgy" or some type of unique creature.
We all want to be the hero of our story. We want to be special and stand out from the crowd. But dont spat out "witch" or "pagan" or "wiccan" like it suddenly makes you nifty neato bambino
You want to be respected? Act respectfully
You want to be understood? Give the effort to understand
You want to be loved? Complete acts of love
A title doesnt magically make you awesome and a religion or practice doesnt make you so much better than another person of another religion or practice
Thats right being religious doesnt make you better than someone else and this applies to every religion.
Practicing witchcraft doesnt somehow make you better than someone who doesnt
If someone claims that they are so much more morally just because of their religion and practice, run.
And don't look back.
We are viewed to be like those we associate with. Choose who you befriend carefully and with forethought.
Thanks

That’s it. I’m about to fucking exit tumblr. I thought this was a good place for me but lately I’ve been feeling attacked and it’s messing with my mental health.....
Like all of a sudden, it’s a BAD thing that I’m writing letters to my future romantic soulmate/past life Husband.
Let me live. Is that fucking okay? Is it okay that I miss my past life husband? Like can I just write my damn letters in piece? That’s the only fucking way I’m not crying every three seconds and falling apart because of how much better I think my former life was...
Like Jesus - Fucking - Christ.
So my tags aren’t working properly...like everyone
With that update tha tumblr did that makes posts with external links not show up in tags, presumedly as some farce of an idea to shut down the porn bots...my posts with links aren’t all popping up when you search.
If you’re having that issue, especially if you consistently link to outside sources such as Patreon, Twitter, Instagram, Ko-Fi, Etsy, PayPal etc:
This post tells you how to fix the external link issue.
But what does that mean Barberwitch?
That means my witch Tip Wednesday posts that all finish with a link to my Etsy, kofi, or PayPal are scattered and hit or miss for searching. I estimate about 1/3 of content that is tagged the same is viewable through the search function. I spent 10 minutes going through my archive trying to find a stupid post about a stupid thing I do to make stupid witchcraft because any stupid word I typed in the stupid internal search bar, stupidly refused to bring up the stupidly accurately tagged post because of the stupid stupid STUPID GLITCH!
I have to go back and manually redirect all the linked posts through my year of weekly posts to make them function...I will have to sort through Text Posts, Asks, Photo sets and everything just to make sure that THE TAGS THAT I USE WITH FLOURISH TO MAKE SURE ANY POSSIBLE SEARCH TERM WILL MAKE IT APPEAR IF YOU THINK “Hmmm. I think Barberwitch has a post about...stacking spells. Or about tarot something, or trad craft, or something to do with datura? Maybe it was about spirits? Idk. I’ll search a phrase and it’ll pop up.” Will maybe work if you happen to be lucky enough to find the post that didn’t implode.
^Me reading those posts not thinking it had to do with me until this happened.
🤬Barberwitch
They took Practical magic off of Netflix and I’m hurt
Current Feels. I don’t feel better after animating this. Seriously considering cursing a bitch.
Hi everyone, I'm back with witches in angry mode~! Yeah in case you didn't know, I have a headcanon that witches become big, scary, and monstrous when angry, based on some stuff from official media. This time of Shao-Yi, a background witch that isn't as well known as Sarah, but still has a lot of fans. Me included!
