Currently reading a neat book called Becoming Dangerous that's a collection of essays on queer community, witchcraft, and rebellion, and I just. Pretty much every single essay so far focuses on sex in one way or another.

And I get it, that's a core aspect to the lives of a *lot* of people, no hate to them, but I think the problem for me is that sexual relationships are taught to really be the only way you can be emotionally close to someone. It's the only way community can really happen.

For all the love of found family tropes, people in the wild will always be assumed to be dating, if not fucking, if not relatives, all before they're possibly considered friends.

And being friends is treated like the budding flower of "something more". I can still remember how it stung to know that one of my incredibly queer friends admitted to struggling with understanding platonic relationships and intimacy. I remember the surging frustration and anger when my mother told her boyfriend I was having a sleepover and the boyfriend asked if it was a sleepover or a Sleepover wink wink nudge nudge.

Because you're never "just" friends, right? It always has to be the groundwork for "something more".

Storms forbid you enjoy the company of someone you're not romantically and/or sexually involved with.

Storms forbid you're fulfilled by it.

Seeing a lot of things about Beltane related to sex, particularly male/female sex. How do my fellow queer witches - especially aromantic and asexual - honor and celebrate?

Don’t do it hoe (A Spray to keep someone from falling in love with you)

For all my fellow AroAces out there who are tired of this happening 😔🙏

Timing: Best performed on a Friday (for platonic love) or a Waning Gibbous since those are associated with relinquishing unwanted things and warding

~~~

Ingredients:

Spray Bottle

Orange Rind, preferably dried

(Black) Salt

Egg Shells

Mint Leaves

Dried Rose Petals

River Water or Holy Water

A slip of paper 

~~~

Notes: Make sure you clean and purify the river water before use, and don’t drink it. Do not drink this spray in general

~~~

Instructions:

For general use

Get a spray bottle and meditate on your intent with it in-hand

Pour the river/holy water into the spray bottle

Begin adding each item in, saying “Never fall in love” for each one when you add it

Once you’re done, hold the bottle and say: “For no romance but still for love, for friendship and platonic affection, may this spray protect me from unwanted advances and defend my relationships from unwanted romantic feelings.”

Focus on your intent and write a sigil for ‘protection from unwanted people/love/affection’ or a pride sigil for ‘AroAce/Aromantic/Asexual’ on the bottle. Here are some ideas:

You can breathe on the sigil to activate it, or choose to activate in any other way you want

Charge every so often under the light of a Waning Gibbous moon ✨

For use on a specific person:

Get a spray bottle and meditate on your intent with it in-hand

Pour the river/holy water into the spray bottle

Begin adding each item in, saying “Never fall in love” for each one when you add it

Grab the slip of paper and write the person’s name on it

Hold it to your heart and say “May your love for me never stray from friendship. May our bond never waver, and your heart never fall in love with me. May we never drift away in our platonic relationship.”

Focus on your intent and write a sigil for ‘protection from unwanted people/love/affection’ or a pride sigil for ‘AroAce/Aromantic/Asexual’ on the bottle. Use some of the ideas listed above

You can breathe on the sigil to activate it, or choose to activate in any other way you want

Charge every so often under the light of a Waning Gibbous moon ✨

I have 2 friends.

That's it. 2. 2 people that I consider to be more important in my life than sunflower seeds.

I kinda want more people like that.

Like enough to have a decent group chat going on.

This is a ramble. Dm me.
