🍄 ABOUT ME 🍄

Hey there, I'm Ara (formerly Neona)! I'm in my mid-30s, married, AuDHD, bi, and my pronouns are she/they. Virgo sun, Aquarius moon, Leo rising. I figured since I'm back on this blog after so many years I'd make an about post to pin!

Been practicing witchcraft off and on (more off tbh, due to life circumstances and lack of energy) for about 15 years or so, and I've been reading tarot for just as long. I don't feel like I know enough to teach anyone anything though, so please don't ask for advice. There are much more experienced practioners out there who'll give much better tips than I could! That being said, don't be afraid to reach out and chat! I may not be the most social person but I do love making new friends!

I follow Lady Hekate and Queen Ishtar. Lady Hekate for many years now and Queen Ishtar a bit some years ago and again recently. I've been agnostic most of my life so I don't know if I'd really call myself religious, but I do feel their presences so idk?

I don't really have a set way I do my practice as being many flavors of white I'm not exactly sure of most of my heritage (besides Lithuanian and German), so I don't have just one type I connect with, I more just do general stuff. I should look more into my heritage but that hasn't happened yet, and I stay away from closed practices. Used to do exclusively spell jars as that was all I could do in the limited quarters I lived in but I'm branching out now that I have more space and energy. I love learning about so many things when I have the brain power to do so.

Outside of witchcraft and spirituality I love sculpting (currently just with clay, may add more mediums in the future), painting, drawing, playing video games (Dead by Daylight, Stardew Valley, Skyrim, Kingdom Hearts, Mass Effect, and Okami are some of my faves) enjoying nature, looking at the sky and clouds, and pointing out the moon to anyone who will listen.

Fair warning: I have no patience for intolerance and bigotry. Any Nazis, fascists, racists, homophobes, transphobes, and others of that kind will be swiftly blocked. Same goes for users of genAI. If y'all see I've reblogged anything from someone like that, or that I've reblogged a picture created with genAI, I assure you it was not intentional (it's getting so hard to tell these days), so please send me a DM letting me know which post it was and the issue and I will thank you and remove it!

My other blogs include:

Keysandcrossroads - my devotional Hekate blog

Lovesexandwar - my devotional Ishtar/Inanna blog

If you have any questions, please feel free to send me a message! And remember to be gentle to yourself and others! 🩵

the more time you spend in active recovery from any given self destructive behavior or addiction the more you understand the common conception of the "relapse" as defined by a broken "streak" to be, like, so bad for one's own well-being that it would be funny if it weren't resulting in just a lot of misery and death

I told my girlfriend to think of quitting vaping as training her endurance by seeing how long she can run before she gets tired, then doing it again and hoping to go further next time. She said it really helped her.

Kitchen Witch Recipe: Lavender Simple Syrup

I remember the first time my ex-girlfriend mentioned lavender in her coffee. I was skeptical, but not for long. Lavender in my coffee is still a favorite.

On the witchy side of things, lavender is great in spellwork for peace, calm, and sleep.

Ingredients

1 cup water

1 cup sugar

1/4 cup dried lavender (or 4 tbsp)

Combine ingredients into a saucepan.

Bring to a simmer until sugar dissolves.

Put heat on lowest setting and let lavender steep 15-20 minutes.

Let cool and strain into glass jar.

This is great in tea, coffee, lemonade, etc.

Two seemingly contradictory beliefs that we actually must strive to hold simultaneously:

You don't owe anyone anything

Meaning: you do not have to make yourself suffer for the convenience of others

We owe each other everything

Meaning: we could not survive without each other and everything we do to help another is crucial to ensuring our own continued survival

You don't need to be a doormat, but also don't get comfortable slamming the door when you have the resources to extend a hand instead.

I need non autistic people to realise meltdowns are a real debilitating thing that has a serious effect on your mental and physical health NOWWWWW!!! The way its been trivialized and lessened pisses me the fuck off. It's not a tantrum and it doesn't come from "being too weak-willed" it's painful and it's embarrassing AND MOST OF ALL IT'S INVOLUNTARY!! Don't claim to be an ally to autistic or disabled people and then make fun of people who have meltdowns. Literally get the hell out of my sight

[livingvampires]

"autistic people are fine as long as they don't have meltdowns and aren't weird And aren't annoying and only like the things I like but don't like them in a weird way and don't talk or carry themselves in an unconventional way and only stim in a way I deem acceptable if I allow them to stim at all (stimming is cringe if you only do the hand flaps but the hand flaps are the only acceptable one) and don't make it obvious that they're autistic"<- what these people fucking sound like

[space-queen]

you know what?

i don't think enough people are taking advantage of using desiccant packets in baneful workings

dry em out! 😂

[breelandwalker]

To help match with intentions or mechanics, one might use this with baneful spells for:

Reduction

Dwindling

Withering

Stunting of growth

Removal of a vital resource

Denial of metaphorical nourishment

Malefic preservation or stasis

Have fun!
