I wanted for a long time to write about my link between studying and witchy stuffs. Because for me they are the same thing. Therefore, I will try to express the benefits to be a witch as a full time student and how it helps me staying focus and sane !
Firstly, being a witch it's a lot of studying. You need to read books, make your own research in various subjects such as history, sciences and social sciences. You need to educate yourself and be curious. Don't judge things but study them to try to understand and be able to articulate not an opinion but a clear view of what are pure garbage and what are interesting.
And on this aspect, these are qualities perdectly in line with your student role. Studying, reading materials, thinking about the quality of it, asking questions, read more, improve your critical thinking skills.
Secondly, the link with nature. As a cerebral person, sometimes you lose yourself in textbooks, abstract thinking. Being a witch encourages you to take a step back and observing the nature around you. A lot of celebration are linked with the season's cycle. It's helping me feeling grounded in reality. I must observe seasons passed, the weather's change, the nature evolving. I have to open my eyes and don't bury my head just and solely in books/knowledges.
Being a witch, it's also having a spiritual practice and don't rely solely in reason, rationality. It helps me make peace with situations I can't control. And I'm not supposed to control either. I get conscious of my energy, understanding how it can work and how to use it well. For example, making spells it's quite therapeutic for an anxious person like me. My practice of the tarot it's the same for me : it gives me the opportunity to check my mental state, how I'm coping with life. Without it, I will be lost !
I hope it helps... I really wanted to do this kind of tumblr. To conclude, be well all of you 🥰
