This is What it Feels Like to be a Ghost

31 yr old, alt eclectic witch. Just a misguided ghost. A kitten in an alley at night. A monster hidden beneath a glamour of innocence.

I don't know if I would consider myself to be an animist or not, but I absolutely adore feeling how alive everything is. Everything feels so distinctly alive to me, more than just "living," and I wish there was more adequate language to put these feelings into coherent words.

The heatwaves coming off the blacktop generated by the sun on a cloudless day. The smell of petrichor after it rains, decorating everything with shining droplets and leaving puddles for the birds to splash around in. The church bells that fills the valley with a song every few hours and echoes through the trees. All of those things possess a spirit of their own in some way.

To me spirits and life aren't just narrowed down to one thing. Not just one spirit per rock or tree or animal. A spirit can exist from a collection of natural occurrences, changes, and inhabitants which I can sometimes commune with through emotions rather than words. Maybe this is what some people mean when they refer to Spirit with the capital "S."

Never let anybody ridicule your beliefs. It’s human to find divinity in the mundane. It’s human to turn to the divine for answers. It’s not a matter of intelligence, like some would like to think. It’s a matter of human nature and instinct.

So leave some honey out for the fae, find omens in the patterns of the clouds, or hang wind chimes outside like your grandma used to do. Don’t let anybody call you anything other than human.

Takes your cheeks very gently and looks you straight in the eyes.

Your sense, your relationship with your deity can be anything. It is unique. Personal. No one has the right to tell you how you should treat them if you both are happy and you don’t harm the others. All other opinions are just dust blown away by the wind, worthless.

I’ll take that. What’s the base haunting stat, and do I lose this privilege if I find an afterlife, or does this lock me in as a wandering and restless spirit?

I want to start celebrating Deipnon so I'm making a list of wildlife-safe foods that can be left at crossroads or cemeteries.

Feel free to add on to this!

🖤 Birdseed

🖤 Unflavoured meat or fish (boneless!)

🖤 Mealworms

🖤 Wet cat/dog food

🖤 Fat balls (in winter when food is scarce)

🖤 Mixed nuts (non-salted!)

🖤 Chopped apples (Occasional, some wildlife can get drunk off fermented apples)

🖤 Chopped carrots (ensure any produce is pesticide-free)

🖤 Raw mushrooms (Always check and if unsure, stick to store-bought white cap)

🖤 Most veggies (avoid bulb veg like onions, leeks & chives, can be toxic)

🖤 Berries (Same as apples)

🖤 Eggs (raw or cooked, great for foxes)

🖤 Crushed eggshells (good source of calcium for many critters)

🖤 Cuttlefish bone

As a general rule of thumb, you should avoid cooked, baked or seasoned food if you're leaving offerings outside as a lot of human food is not safe for animal consumption.

*amending to say that I live in the UK. More specifically, the north of England. Whilst I would imagine that the diets of mammals and birds may be similar enough, I still urge people to do some extra research in to your local fauna.
