I'm moving platforms over to Substack, so be sure to check it out if you want to stay up-to-date on what I'm doing!
Wild Shit I have been told about Witchcraft and Paganism in my IRL.
“Eating Meat blocks your natural Psychic Gifts.”
“The only way to share power with another witch is drinking her blood.” ((Scary!! and there is a story there. If my brother sees this you know who I’m talking about.))
“Only Women can be witches, men are warlocks.” (From the same person who said the above quote)
“You can’t worship Freyr you are a woman.” (Not directed at me but I overheard said to a friend who was Trans Masc btw..)
(Getting called the R slur by a family member.)
I might have more but I think this is retched enough for now.
"You shouldn't wear that elven crown, it will block your third eye"
"Omg! I see an entire spirit voodoo family!" (While in someone's living room. In the Netherlands
"Piercing your ears will block the leylines of your body"
"You shouldn't trust him, I was doing a reiki initiation and he showed up astrally in the living room just to disturb the healing"
"I am from the Pleiades and can change your DNA so you don't get cancer"
"I'm a bit dissapointed, I was expecting to actually feel wind while being initiated with the element" (we were indoors with all windows and doors closed)
I'm sure there's more, but this was wild enough for now
Reminder that:
The Christianization of Europe and the witch hunts are two completely separate things.
The witch hunts took place in the early modern period, well after Europe was Christianized.
The witch hunts were driven by conspiracy theories. It's literally a predecessor of QAnon.
Many conspiracy theories of the witch hunts were repurposed antisemitic conspiracy theories. (For example, blood libel and Satan worship.)
Lots of Christians practiced folk magic. They didn't usually call themselves witches.
Witchcraft was associated with polytheistic religions by Christians. Polytheists didn't call themselves witches. Whatever they were doing, they had their own words for it.
Modern witchcraft is a modern construct. It is not a revival of a genuine pre-Christian tradition of any kind.
Modern witchcraft cannot be "colonized" because it's literally a modern creation made by white people. However, modern witches are capable of doing colonialism, such as when they promote pseudohistory about other cultures.
Y’all I’m being so serious when I say this: go to the library for witchcraft reasons.
You can usually find books on witchcraft, yes, but there’s also field guides on local foraging and wildlife, cookbooks, books that teach you how to craft and DIY, books about environmental protection and stewardship, books on how to use herbs medicinally, books about other religions, cultures, and spiritual practices. My favorite local library even has a seed swapping program and fantastic resources to research your own family history!
Go to the library for witchcraft. Please. :) <3

Racism in witchcraft and pagan spaces can look like pseudohistorical narratives being promoted as fact. This is because pseudohistory often minimizes or erases POC's suffering at the hands of white people, promotes misinformation about their cultures, and promotes cultural assimilation.
Get your history from credible scholars, including non-white scholars.
I got a sewing machine for mother's day, and wanted to show off a few of the tarot cloths I made. ❤️ by no means are they perfect, but I had so much fun learning!
Racism in pagan and witchcraft communities can be dismissing the issue of cultural appropriation by claiming it doesn't bother the gods and in fact they want you to do it.
true story. I was teaching a class on chaos magic at my local metaphysical shop a few weeks ago (not usually my cup of tea, but the shop owner was out of town for a few weeks and wanted to keep her calendar running as normal, so I volunteered to help out)
during my class I had mentioned that, while chaos magicians tend to use a very 'eclectic' approach to their magic, that it is vital to stay sensitive to other cultures and avoid appropriation. one of the students, an older gentleman, looked right at me and said "the gods don't care what race you are!"
only adding on this comment to say that, yes, this is an excuse that many people will try to peddle to you. don't fall for it.
Tuesday Witchery: Still Standing Candle Spell
A little something for when life insists on kicking your ass.
Materials
Red candle
Black peoper
Coffee grounds
Dress the candle with coffee grounds and pepper or sprinkle the two in a circle around the base of the candle.
As you light the candle, think about what's been weighing you down. Don't hide from it. Face it. Embrace it. Think about all the things you've survived before, and how you're still here.
Take a moment to focus on the flame. Feel the warmth and take comfort in it.
Say, "I remain. Again and again, I remain."
