I NEED HELP

I hate asking for help, but I’m kind of freaking out. Things are finally starting to look up; I’m getting things in order so I can go back to school and get my financial aid reinstated and I know what I want to do. But my account is in the red because of bills that had to be taken out and overdraft fees, and those same bills are coming up again very quickly. And I have no money for gas to get back up to the area where I’ll be going to school in. Right now my account is at -126.71. The two bills are $60.75 and $64 and the drive up to North GA is 6 hours so it’ll cost roughly $50 for gas to get all the way up there.

I’ve been advertising on other social media sites about the Tarot and Rune readings that I do, but I’m sharing them here, too, now: All Tarot Readings are $25, 1-Rune Readings are $9, and 3-Rune Readings are $15! Donations are also very very very very VERY much appreciated as I am doing all of this on my own right now. And finding a job as an openly trans femme has proven to be more and more difficult in this state. All payments for services/donations go through my PayPal here

I do also make and sell wands on Etsy! That link is Here

All wands are handmade and spoken over and imbued with properties to suit the wielder’s purposes. Wands range from $25-30 and Custom Wands start at $30! Shipping time on the store currently says within 3 days, and I will do my best to do that, but considering how broke I am right now, it may take a few days longer, and I apologize for that.

Any and all help would be greatly appreciated! Help a trans witch out! <3

And she was dazzled to find sea spirits in her veins, A howling storm that stirred her very bones, Lightning and hail in the depths of her eyes, And eternal siren songs in her heart. She found herself to be A maelstrom of power And strength And beauty. And she thought to herself, 'How dare any mortal think me less than the Goddess that I am?'

Help a Trans Witch Out

Okay guys, I’m not having any luck on the job front, and it isn’t looking very good for me at all. I’m currently trying to go back to North Georgia so I can go back to school in the Fall. I’m already going to have to pull out thousands in student loans, and that really scares me. Apart from that, though, I still don’t have a job in the North Georgia area, I don’t have enough money to support myself and get an apartment...I’ve been staying with my mentor and her family, but I cannot stay there for much much longer. I feel like such a burden. And right now I’m back in Southeast Georgia (my hometown - I don’t recommend it) and I can’t head back up until I can get an eye exam, which my mom has agreed to help me afford. But Verizon just took out their money ($60.75) which has put me back in the red and I have another bill for auto insurance coming up (~$64) in the next two weeks. AND my car is acting up, so I need to at least get an oil change, which is roughly $30. I’m not really staying afloat like I need to, and it’s starting to spur on my depression and anxiety to new heights, and as much as I hate hate hate admitting it, I NEED HELP! It’s not easy for an out and proud transwoman to get a job in this backwards state.

So if you can help, I do $25 Tarot Readings, including Love Life Readings. These readings can be done over the phone, via text, over Skype, through Facebook or Tumblr Messenger, and of course in person if you’re in the state of Georgia or the Jacksonville area of Florida. All payments go through my PayPal and will be going towards my survival.

If you want/can help but don’t want/need a reading, feel free to donate to my PayPal: PayPal.me/cherrythegoodwitch

Please ignore the use of my birth name (I go by Cherry) as PayPal would not allow me to change it. Any and all help, donations, and shares will be GREATLY appreciated! Blessings and light to you all!

They call me witch because they wish

To strip away my power,

They don’t see how much work and how much pain

It takes to build that power up every

single

day.

When you are a transwoman and your very flesh crawls

At the sight of your body,

The hair you never wanted,

The sound of the bass in your voice that they hear as a tell tale sign

That somehow you aren’t who you say you are,

When you are a transwoman you spend every morning,

Every day

Building yourself back up.

Makeup is my Glamour,

My woven spell of confidence

And if they could read the words behind my painted lips

They would know that I’m unhappy.

The light that I shine when I’m walking in the world,

their world,

The “real” world,

Is too often a mirage,

An illusion,

A hologram,

A mere watercolor that I wash off each night when I get home.

I’m not comfortable here.

I’m not welcome here.

And I can see that in every stranger’s eyes,

The way their mouths turn down

And all around me are looks of confusion,

“Are you a boy or a girl?”

And I just want to smear the colors on my face away and scream,

“I am she! I am woman!

I have shed my skin more times than you will ever know!

I am not some pretty little doll who has it all,

Who doesn’t have to worry about a thing.

I am a bundle of nerves masquerading as human,

I am a volcano pretending to be dormant when really

I could blow at any minute,

Spew forth my insecurities and the intricacies of the pain that is

Dysphoria.”

I want to tell them.

I want them to feel what I feel,

How alien it is to be in the body that I never asked for

And to have to pretend it’s okay every day.

I want them to understand that it is normal for me to take

One

Two

Sometimes Three hours to get ready for the day.

You don’t know the meaning of the phrase “taking forever”

Until you have to stare at the body you’re maintaining,

Drag a razor over the hair you once tried to light on fire,

Slather primer, concealer, and foundation over your

Face,

Your neck,

Your chest,

Hide every little thing that might make someone suspect

That you don’t naturally have smooth skin.

You don’t know confusion until you are staring,

Glaring,

Crying at your penis,

Willing it to turn itself inside out because

Maybe then they would get it,

Maybe then that guy could love you,

Maybe then they wouldn’t stop you from peeing

or fixing your makeup

In a goddamn public bathroom.

They call me evil...

But evil is denying someone

Who already tried not once,

Not twice,

But four times

To erase themselves from existence

the right to still be alive.

Evil is saying that I am a pervert in disguise

When I’ve been assaulted and approached by guys

So lost in their male privilege that they had’

The audacity to claim that they could own me.

They call me witch,

And it’s true,

there’s magic in my blood,

My veins that I once considered dragging a knife across

Burn so bright and hot

With such intensity that I cannot stop moving,

I cannot rest,

i cannot break down in peace

Because there is so much work to do.

My power is in my will to live,

Something I didn’t even know I had until

That fourth attempt failed, too.

I

Am

She.

I

Am

Woman.

And damn it,

I am alive.

[laureldiosa]

So it’s been a while since I shared my face with tumblr. My makeup skills and confidence have been improving a lot lately. ^ v ^

[laureldiosa]

You know what makes me happy? Doing Tarot readings for people. Whether it’s online or in person, I always feel so connected to the energy, the cards, and to the person I’m reading for. It makes me feel more comfortable and secure in ym craft. ^ v ^

So, anyone wanna set up a reading or two this coming week?

[laureldiosa]

My transmasculine and transfeminine family,

You are beautiful.

You are powerful.

You are so incredibly magical.

You are unconditionally loved.

You are important.

You are needed and wanted in this world.

You are valid.

You exist.

And I wish you nothing but the best.

May all your dreams prosper and

May your journey be full of reasons to smile at yourself and your body.

Stay strong and know that you are worth so much more than you think.

With sincere love,

A trans femme who’s tired of seeing my family disappear too young in life.
