Cosmic Witchcraft 30 Day Challenge! [Link]

Day 2: “Your personal definition of your path.”

Whenever people ask me about my craft, my go-to description is “eclectic”. I don’t stick to just one type of witchcraft and thus, don’t label myself as a green witch, or a kitchen witch, or a spirit witch, etc,.

Being eclectic just means that I draw from a broad range of crafts to make this monstrous amalgamation that I now love and practise.

Eclecticism allows me to tailor my witchcraft so that it works for me, and me alone. No eclectic witches will follow the exact same path as our paths morph to suit us, our lives, and our circumstances.

Cosmic Witchcraft Challenge, Days 20/21

Day 20: try divining with the stars and share the results? So... I’m not really sure quite what this is asking me to do. But I figured I’d share a bit about the stars and how I interact with them.

Well, well before I started being a serious Pagan, I would pray on the stars. Not to God, or the Universe, but to the stars. It would be silly things sometimes. I remember wishing to be a Dragoon from Legend of Dragoon. It would be serious though too. I remember wishing for people everywhere to not suffer anymore, that I could just take that upon myself instead if they had to. Thankfully moved past that, but I still wish on the stars, with that little chant of Star Bright, Star Light. And... I still feel like they’re on my side. When I feel scared, and alone, the stars are there for me. And I feel like they help me still.

Day 21: your zodiac sign + its associated major arcana tarot card & description? I am The Emperor. Which... is interesting. That keeps showing up lately, I wonder if this has any importance for me.

Cosmic Witchcraft Challenge Days 19 and 20

19: meditate to ambient music and share your experience? This was kind of uneventful. I just meditated, but... I'm new to trying to get anything different out of meditation so I'm not surprised. 20: I'm not really sure what a planetary square is, and googling it just seems to give me squares with numbers, I'll have to try this another day.

Cosmic Witchcraft Challenge, Day 18

share a song(s) that gets you in the mood to do magick: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rItC252B74c

So, a bit about this kind of music. It’s done in a language called Hymmnos. Almost universally, which is fairly rare for any kind of music that I’ve found, not only do I like it, but it gets energy going for me. I think it’s just what Hymmnos is about. It’s about emotions. If you had to get to a central trait that the language is about, it’s feeling, it’s heart, it’s passion. Love, sadness, intense feelings in general. The songs tell a story, all of them, and it’s very beautiful. This song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e6XJ_GAlRHI is the one that I feel fits me best of songs I’ve heard in general. It gives a good idea of how I feel about trying to live in this world. But almost all of them are very beautiful and just... speak to me.

Cosmic Witchcraft Challenge, Days 16 + 17

Day 16: favorite crystals or minerals + their associated planets Day 17: make a glitter jar and share a photo So, I can't really do the second, but the first is easy. Aquamarine, Lapis Lazuli, and Amethyst are the stones I like best, Rose Quartz too. Googling it I got Jupiter for Lapis Lazuli and Amethyst, Neptune for Aquamarine and Amethyst (I could see Lapis Lazuli here too), and Venus for Rose Quartz.

30 Day Magic Challenge, Days 14+15

So, yesterday was a low spoon day, today I’m a bit better. Let’s see what we got. 

Day 14: Favorite Magic related story (epic win, funny tale, etc) Day 15: Favorite Flavor Text

For the first? I’m not sure any wins really come to mind. Sadly the games I play don’t tend to get too out of hand. I found it funny a game where I managed to get Venser and Tamiyo’s Ultimates, that was kind of unusual. But none really come to mind.

For the second, I’ll just answer broadly. I tend to like flavor text which explores the block, the story, and lore. I’m not really a big fan of comedic flavor text (sorry Maro). There are some pithy comebacks that are kind of fun to read, but that’s about it.

Cosmic Witchcraft 30 Day Challenge, Day 13

Day 13, what are your favorite kind of spells to do? Hmm. So, this is just going off of what my usual trend seems to be, I could be very wrong. But I feel more inclined towards spells that heal or protect. I think generally I want to try and balance situations very broadly and help them grow, so I could do more negative kinds of magic. But magic that helps the situation get better is more my cup of tea. More specific than that though? I’ve never done much in the way of magic, I have one thing I’m intending to do. I suppose if my rituals of sorts count then I’ve done plenty of general warding for my prayers, but that doesn’t quite seem fitting.

Cosmic Witchcraft Challenge, Day 12

Day 12: How does your relationship with deities relate to your craft? Ooh boy, so this is a biggy. I much more strongly identify as a Pagan than a Witch, the latter is something I’m kind of trying to claim with myself because I do want to work magic, and that at least feels like something I could connect with.

So how? Well, I’m much more likely to, at this stage at least, try and ask the Gods for help with my problems than try a magical spell, though I do try and keep correspondences in mind. I imagine when I get more comfortable doing things on my own though they’ll still be a big part. Whether it’s just asking for Their guidance or possibly more involved workings, I wouldn’t want them to be that far removed from my magical workings, it’s just a matter of... for lack of a better way to word it who is doing the heavy lifting. I’d like to be doing that someday, so I’m trying to get used to that.

Specifically relating to the Cosmic angle, I have a few Gods I work with that have strong solar/lunar aspects to them, and even a couple that are more broadly star related. I don’t really work with any deities that I really associate with other planets, but I could probably make a case for them being tied to the energy of that planet at least.
