Basic safety/responsibility tips for new witches ✨

-Always maintain adequate ventilation & precautions for anything burning: candles, incense, cooking, etc. Do not leave flames unattended.

-Make sure your herbs/aromatics are pet AND human safe. Check for allergies & read up on ASPCA guidelines.

-Read up on cultural appropriation in witchcraft. Smudging, hoodoo & voodoo, Kabbalah, etc are closed culture. Respect practices that aren’t yours to take.

-Pseudoscience is not magic. Magic is about empowerment, not coercion. Crystals will not heal your anxiety any more than a good book. Cure-alls don’t exist, and anyone selling them is a scammer, not your friend.

-Wicca is Not the only option for witchcraft, & was designed to be inherently transphobic, racist and antisemitic. Try to explore other witchy communities to see what feels best for you.

-You will make mistakes. That is okay. Be willing to learn and ready to accept the consequences.

I really like my job, and not only because I enjoy things I do, but also because my company cares about it’s employers. In particular, they organize activities for people. I went to a jewelry master class today and it was fun! Also I already knew what design I would do :D

Soooo this is my craftshit “drunk master” style. It’s really hard to do letters! Especially when you are not good with your hands :D Amma little clumsy, but still wanna show you my ring!

IT IS A DESIGN!..

👏 if you won’t change the terms you use when marginalized people tell you it’s appropriation, you’re not fighting for anyone’s freedom, you’re just an arrogant colonizer 👏

This goes for Kabbalah, tulpamancy, egg cleanses, Lilith worship, Vodou, and every other closed practice that’s not yours.

listen. Lilith being “closed” was something pushed by zionists like user jumblr-protector-golem/will-o-the-witch/jewitches, user rose-in-a-fisted-glove, user keshetchai, user hachama, user athingofvikings. you’ll find plenty “nonzionist” or even “antiantizionist” rhetoric on their blogs.

Lilith can be jewish, and judaism can be closed, and this isn’t simple maths, judaism isn’t a monolith, and Lilith does exist openly to this day, factually, and real jews (and ex jews) who worship her and our gentile friends have the human right to worship our chosen entities. Thank you ☮️

Given that you called people who are explicitly against Israel’s genocide of Palestinian people (like Jewitches) Zionists, I find it doubtful to believe the rest of your “sources” say what you claim, either.

But either way, you still have to listen to Jewish people who tell you to stop appropriating their culture. Even if they’ve done very, very bad things. You don’t get to steal a marginalized person’s culture just because you disagree with what they’ve done. That’s not an excuse.

Lilith IS Jewish. Both antizionist and Zionist Jews alike tend to agree on this, because, as much as it sucks that some people are so mislead by colonizing propaganda, we’re all still Jews! And if you’re at all a “friend” of Jews, you’ll respect if literally a single one of us says this is a closed culture practice… and tons of us do.

Go find another baby killing “deity” to worship, and leave us alone. Peace and love.

“And if you’re at all a “friend” of Jews, you’ll respect if literally a single one of us says this is a closed culture practice”

The same can be said equally in the reciprocal, if literally a single one of us says this is an open cultural practice. And many of us have.

No… That’s not how oppression works. Marginalized people get to decide when they’re oppressed or having their culture stolen, and it’s our job to listen. Even other marginalized people of the same culture don’t get to take that away from them.

You don’t get to decide that something’s open culture if someone else of that culture wants it closed. That’s called respecting each other and acknowledging that while you may have had only positive experiences with goyim stealing Lilith, plenty of Jews are tired of our culture being stolen just so culturally Christian wannabe witches get to parade around with their made-up Antichrist hero goddess Lilith (I say made up because this is in no way who Lilith actually is or what she does).

Sorry, but you clearly need to do some self-educating on how cultural appropriation actually works before you get any other asks answered.
