Quick Note on: Coins as Signs

Why do my deities always send me coins from their countries?? What's up with that? Always when they've fully embraced me.

To be clear, the coins don't just *fall from the sky*. I've collected random coins over the years as long as they are different from dollars and escudos, but I don't really try to differentiate between, say, the imagery in the euros; a euro is a special coin and automatically goes with my other magpie shinies in the jar. But then when I start a devotional practice with a deity, the coin MAKES itself found. Mind you! They live in a container I open maybe every couple of years.

In the past I've found a 50 euro cent coin on the floor in my house with "Éire" (Ireland) written on it and harp imagery when I asked Bríd to bring me a part of Ireland for my altar after my devotion to her really picked up; mind you, I've never been to Ireland and it's been many years since I visited Europe AND there were no other coins in my stash from there.

Fast forward to tonight, just now. I was going through my coins to find gifts for trading at a Samhain gathering after an incredible day of reciprocity with Hermes, I find a 1 euro coin with "EYP0" on it with an owl and what appears to be olive leaves. It gave me pause and I was like, "are you freaking kidding me", *eyes my altar like Hermes is physically there*, and then I go "oh you." Again, no other coins from Greece in my stash and I've never been to Greece.

Other things of note: how does it connect to the lore of that deity? (Just what sticks out to me immediately)

- Bríd comes from a culture where there's often lore about coins related to the Good Neighbors

- Hermes, god of trade and merchants (money) as one of his epithets. This coin was also found in relation to something I was doing with him in mind (trading and community building with diverse practices)

Special coins just always seem to find me when a deity embraces me. Sharing this as I think it's a realistic way that signs may be cent (ha! sorry) to some folks.

Hey ya'll, I have a question for any witches out there. I have a big fear of wasps but I also love them. My family tends to attract a lot of bugs, and animals in general--I think this happens because there is a tendency towards lack of boundary in my family.

Recently I've been worrying a lot, about my future and my past. I've been trying to figure out what trade school I want to go to, planning financially and trying to move away from my home state and ultimately away from the USA permanently if I can. I've also been having lots of trauma coming up and I've been exercising setting boundaries a lot more/I'm working how I communicate.

All that being said, my partner just found a dead wasp in my hair. Does anyone have an idea what that means? It feels significant, especially because I've been seeing lots of signs recently and because the way I've been moving through the world is changing. I think especially my shift in thinking and communication.

Any ideas are welcome and appreciated. Also ask me any questions if you want.

˚* reasons I've always been/ wanted to be a witch without having known what they meant*.

now that i have researched a lot about witchcraft and witchy beliefs i noticed there were so many things that I've always believed in or done since i was little that are main factors/ included in the practice/ beliefs. So here are a few of them:

sorry for the long post + total rant!!!

1. I have ALWAYS been interested in witchy things, from the first witchy movie i ever watched. After that which was probably harry potter, i was obsessed with it. Merlin, grachi (latam show), nowhere boys, fucking hocus pocus and any tv show/ movie that had anything to do with witches, I've watched so many of them. *i also always dressed up as a witch in halloween like the few times i have dressed up (cus it's not a tradition where i live) so yeah lol there's that, even at parties when i was older.

2. I've always been interested in the elements! Since I found out what they were when I was little I always found a great peace in them. One of my favorite shows of all time is Avatar: TLA (a show about the elements!!), i also loved the nowhere boys and other things. And just felt a connection with them ⛤

3. Since I was little I've always collected rocks/ stones, and things I found that I felt attracted to. These included any pretty little rocks, sticks, I found an old key once and some lost earrings maybe or stuff like that. I have a little chest where I keep my favorites.

4. I've seriously always wanted to be a witch. Like from all those movies I obviously wanted to have magic, who wouldn't. But it was more than just that, I didn't mind that it wasn't like harry potter, I saw stuff about the history of witches, and how they were killed and felt personally affected in a way, or just sad. And it's exactly that that I wanted too, like doing spells, rituals, protection, connecting with the energy of the universe.

5. I actually wanted to be a witch so bad, that just with my imagination (at least that's what I thought) I tried to do so. What I mean is that with my collection of things in that little chest, I used to take out the rocks/stones, and other things (including dice, an old key, and a lot of school pictures of me for some reason, etc..) I put them out and tried to somehow meditate with them or pretend that I did (picture me being 7-10 maybe) and try to make wishes and stuff. So as now I know everything is about intention, who knows, maybe I really did do something..

6. This is kind of a long one, but it's really the biggest one. You know how everyone tries to see if they have telepathy/teleckinesis, or super powers when they're little? Well I obviously did too. But even though I may have not been Matilda, I tried so so hard to actually see if I had anything (idk why child me was so optimistic lol). So well I started seeing if I could actually make things happen. I focused very hard and tried to do a weird thing with my hand, like a pattern, and being like "make the tv work"(IN MY HEAD BTW), or "make the traffic stop"/"i want to go to this restaurant soon", along with other sorta small things.

So I kept it a secret, aka told some friends and my sister about it a few times, didn't believe me but let it go, so I just acted like it was a game/ joke in a way. I still do tbh. But I kept doing it idk why, I just wanted something to happen and turned my hand like 3 times or something, and waited. And it might've worked like 30-40% of the time, probably less, but it was good enough for me.

So yes, I was probably just a crazy and weird kid, but the thing is that, even if you don't believe me, they actually worked a lot of times, not everytime though. But they did. So I pretended to have a little super power, and thought to myself, "well if I'm the protagonist of a movie I can't just tell people or it will stop working (matilda again ✨) or they'll just say I'm crazy" second one being very much true.

So do I still do that all the time? Yes!

Am I probably just crazy and it all has a logical explanation but I try to kid myself into thinking it's real because a part of me just wants to fucking be in harry potter? Yes.

So yeah everyone in my family actually legit say "ana, do your magic thingy this won't work"/"okay then try to do this" or other things everyday, and still get surprised when it works.

But do I have proof that it's happened? Well no. Not exactly at least, but since I do it so often sometimes I just pretend I'm doing magic like exaggerating around ny friends/family and then boom! the pizza finally got here, the tv started working again, the wifi came back, we didn't have the test today, i fixed whatever was wrong with my brothers phone/anything with just doing the same thing he did, and many other things.

So again it could all just be a very recurring coincidence, or it couldn't..

All I know is I won't stop doing it because it also brings me peace to know that it might work, even if it doesn't every time.

7. Me being psychic! Ever since I can remember, I've always had this feeling that something was gonna happen before it did. It's hard to explain because a lot of the times, after it happens I say to myself, I knew this was gonna happen, for some reason, because I felt like it would even if I didn't know what it was or recognized the feeling at all.

However, over time I've found it so much easier to recognize it and it's way more explicit, like I get a feeling of knowing what's gonna happen, or what could Never happen. If someone were to tell me "so there's a 50/50 chance person A ends up doing thing A or thing B" and i just immediately feel it and even if I don't always say it I just know "actually option B will never happen, it's just not going to happen". And most of the times I'm right.

I found out about the term "claircognizance" about 2 weeks ago and found that from many lists of signs you have it, i have most if not all of the signs each time. So yeah, I've just always had this thing in me, and everyone around me always says it's not possible and that I'm crazy, but now that I saw other people have it too, it's honestly a relief.

However, as cool as it is, it also gives me so much anxiety. I'm generally a very anxious and irrational person, so for example everytime I get in the car or a friend/ family member is late to something, my mind goes wow I'm gonna die, they're in a horrible accident, etc...

So if i know that a lot of the times the things that go through my mind will actually happen, it just makes it worse. However, I have over time found it easier to recognize what could be real and what couldn't. So yeah, there's that.

8. I've never been very religious, yet I've always believed in the Universe and its energy. I know witches come from many religions, but I still think that believing in the balance and energy of the Universe is a big part for a lot of witches if not all? And that's something that has always been inside me. I tried to follow Catholicism at school, and I couldn't put myself to believe in everything. After a lot of years, I came to the realization that I wasn't really fully an atheist, but I believed in a higher power, and really wanted to believe in an afterlife. But most important, I believed that there was balance in the Universe, and that there was energy everywhere. I believe in karma a lot and well a lot of witchy things, before I even knew it was close to paganism/ witchcraft.

9. I've also always loved astrology and believed in the zodiac signs and everything. Everyone around me doesn't so when I talked about it they went "oh, you couldn't possibly believe those things right?" and as with all of the above I had to keep a low profile and say it's just for fun or whatever. But apart from that, I just always loved astrology, the stars and the moon, even if I've never studied it fully (I really want to).

10. I've always been really drawn to greek mythology. And tbh any kind of mythology. I don't work with deities, at least not yet, but I've always loved everything about mythology. Everytime we talked and learned about it in class I was really passionate and again in movies and books (like Percy Jackson). So I guess in a way it also relates to witchcraft/ paganism?

11. I'm pretty sure I've always wanted a familiar? Well, I only learned what a familiar was a short while ago but when I did I realized I kind of always wanted one. Like when I was little, I of course really wanted a pet (a puppy mostly) but it was more than just that, I wanted one that would be just mine and like with me All The Time. I didn't get it btw. But well this was also because of this movie "The Golden Compass", where people have dæmon (which by definition was the physical manifestation of a human soul in that world, taking form as an animal that was literally like half the soul of the human who had it, and it never left one's side). So I really wanted something like this for some reason, I even asked for my birthday/ christmas for at least 2 years after I didn't get a dog (when I was maybe 8-9) to not have a pet, but have *something that would be like a partner (?) that I would have by my side most of the time* /whatever definition I gave to was really a familiar i wanted in a way. (I got a puppet! like an actual wooden string puppet haha, to be fair I probably confused my mom a lot)

Anyway, I just find it funny that when I was so little I wanted to have a familiar, and now that I know what it is, I want one more than ever.

➸ Well I'm sorry for the unnecessarily long post about just some random signs (in my opinion) that I've always been/ wanted to be a witch.

These are just a few I can think of that I feel are just interesting that I've always been drawn to these things and everything.

I'm 17 now, and now that I'm researching and trying to implement witchcraft/ paganism in my life, I really feel so relieved and more excited about my everyday life than I ever have before. Even if no one irl besides my little sister really supports it very much, I really like and want to be part of this community with all I've got:)

Please tell me your opinions/ comments in all/ any of the things I mentioned, I would love to hear what you have to say, and specially if some people relate! Also I'm still pretty new to everything so if anyone wants to dm me/ be friends/ just be mutuals on tumblr let me know!

Thank you for listening.

Blessed be.

Someone tell me if all these fucking mice in my house eating everything on the floor is a sign from something before we kill them all off.

There's always one person in the friend group who knows things they shouldn't, and who gets texts at midnight that start with "okay this is going to sound weird but." The one who picked that crystal up off the shelf before she knew why, who feels the full moon in her bones, and who has never once trusted a person her gut told her not to. If your friends have ever looked at you and said "you're literally a witch" — half joking, fully meaning it — this one was written for you. Here are 9 signs you were always the witch friend.
