Worshipping With Executive Dysfunction

Ironically, I’m writing this to avoid doing my Work Job. Let’s get into it.

Set an alarm so you remember. Pick a specific time you’re going to worship, because “later” never comes and “sometime this evening” rarely does either. Instead, set an alarm so that you already have that time set aside in your mind, and so that you don’t mentally blow past it when that time arrives.

Keep everything in one place. Keep the offerings near where you would offer them, as well as anything you might need to do it, like matches or lighters. Make it so there’s as little travel time as possible between you and what you want to do. 

Think through the ritual setup beforehand. Sometimes the offering part is easy but getting to that point is overwhelming, especially if your tradition involves ritual purification or invocation rituals. Boil it down to the bare essentials and capture the essence in a way that doesn’t have so many steps, if you can. (Ex: Is that personal purification rite just an ancient way of washing away germs, and if so can we just mindfully wash our hands and fulfull the rite’s function?)

Start with something little. Getting started can be the hardest part. If you don’t have the energy for an entire offering ritual, break it into pieces. Just do the setup and approach the rest later if you need. Or just put on a playlist to get into the mood for now. Or take a couple deep breaths to refocus your brain. Ease into it as slowly as you need. 

Think ahead with your offerings. Will you have the spoons to clean up after? If you’re like me and run the risk of not removing an offering for days (or weeks…) then think ahead to what can stay there a long time, just in case. Nobody likes cleaning up the altar and finding mold in the offering dish. Incense, water, and dried plants tend to work well, as do nonphysical things like music and poetry.

“While I’m at it…” If you catch yourself in a spot with good momentum, try to get a rite done while you have the energy instead of putting it off. It can be something simple, but use the energy and the drive while you’re on top of it since we can’t always guarantee it will be there in even an hour. 

Keep things similar so that you don’t have to rethink every step, every time. A rock solid routine with what a ritual looks like helps it become a lot more automatic, and therefore a lot easier to actually do. Routine becomes habit.

Remember that something is better than nothing. Anything that helps you touch base with your Divine and keep them close is a good thing, and most people don’t give an offering every single day. Don’t waste time beating yourself up for not performing at the level you wish you could. Instead, celebrate the love it takes to do something at all for them through your Executive Dysfunction; you’re already pushing yourself and striving to do your best for them, and that’s incredible. Hang onto that.

Witchy/Metaphysical Stores in Colorado!

So, I know this might be rather specific, but I’ve seen lots of posts recommending stores for other states, but haven’t really seen one for my own. Most of them are in the Denver Metro Area because that’s what I’m most familiar with, but I can add more to this post later if y’all have any additions. Because of the current pandemic, I’ll also be noting whether they have limits on the # of people in the store and/or curbside pickup. There’s currently a state-wide mask mandate so assume masks will be required for all of these stores!

Also, a personal note: Some of these stores might promote some pseudoscience. I didn’t look into it that much when doing research for this post, but I’m just making an assumption based off of general trends in metaphysical/witchcraft communities. I personally don’t endorse any pseudoscience or “alternative medicine”, and an simply listing stores based on any witchcraft related products they sell, not any potential pseudo-scientific products or services.

Goddess Isis Books & Gifts (2775 S Broadway, Englewood, CO 80113) -   Customer limits, curbside pickup as an option. They also have temperature checks at the door! (https://www.isisbooks.com/)

Herbs & Arts (2015 E. Colfax Ave, Denver, CO 80206) - Customer limits, curbside pickup. (https://www.herbsandarts.com/)

For Heaven’s Sake (4900 West 46th Avenue, Denver, CO 80212; also has a location in Lakewood) - Customer limits, curbside pickup. (https://forheavensake.com/)

Springs-Spirituality-Metaphysical-Store (27 E. Colorado Ave. Suite 104, Colorado Springs, CO 80903) - In-person shopping by appointment only. No curbside pickup, but does to same-day delivery to the Colorado Springs Area. (https://springsspiritualitymetaphysical.com/)

Celebration Metaphysical Center (975 Garden of the Gods Rd., #C Colorado Springs, CO 80907) - Customer limits, curbside pickup. (https://www.celebrationcenter.store/)

Also, two general recommendations for non-witchy places to get stuff that could be useful to your craft (Not going to give any specific stores because there’s a lot):

Asian import stores! Many asian import stores have cheap candles and such for sale. :)

Rock shops! We have a giant mountain range, so of course there’s PLENTY of stores in CO that sell gems and minerals.

Calling All Disabled Witches

Part of my pitch for my upcoming book is to make Witchcraft as accessible as possible. I'm not making it truly accessible if I do not incorporates Magickal content for disabled persons!

Now, I am disabled myself, but I don't experience every disability there is and I certainly don't speak for the entirety of those who have mine.

So this is where YOU come in!

If you want to be a part of this ambitious project, send me your experiences, tips, spells, etc. that are associated with your disability! Most, if not all, depending on the amount of submissions, will be incorporated into my book and you'll get a really cool credit!

Visualization has always been one of my strong points when it comes to magic... But also a weak point.

One part for being autistic, at least in my personal experience, is heightened visual thinking skills. You know how people say, "Imagine a teapot. Now rotate that teapot in your head," or something similar? That's what I'm talking about. Because of that, I've always found it easy to do visualization exercises and other such things.

HOWEVER, Because I also have ADHD, I can't maintain any image for a long period of time. My mind jumps around at a million miles a minute most days and I can't keep my attention on something for long enough to do a very simple visualization spell to completion.

It's definitely a blessing and a curse.

[voxywitch]

Haven't been working on witchcraft much recently because of the Big Sad™ (depression lmao) but I'm hoping on doing an oracle card reading with a new deck for the first quarter moon tomorrow.... Maybe I'll begin a divination journal too? I'm hoping on getting back into this now that I'm feeling a bit better. c:

Stimmy Witch Tips

Here are some magickal tips for people who, like me, stim for whatever reason. 

Charge your stim toys and slime in moonlight to cleanse

When playing with kinetic sand or slime focus on putting your negative feelings and energies into it as you squeeze and twist them in your fingers. Be sure to cleanse afterwards

Play with different toys, slime, sand, etc based off of their colors for easy color magick such as orange slime for motivation, green squishy for learning/education, yellow sand for inspiration, etc

Enchant your squishies, fidget cubes, spinners, tangles, etc to bring you peace of mind, relaxation, focus, motivation, or whatever else you may need it for

Use Glitter bottles for meditation and scrying

Drag sigils on your fidget spinners, so every time you use it, you activate the sigil on it

Draw sigils in kinetic sand or slime then to activate squish and squeeze it

Use plushies based off of their appearances such as what animal, food, or fruit they are based off of

When making slime, stir clockwise to focus on putting intent into the slime you are making such as for it to bring you peace of mind or focus when playing with it. Or stir it counter-clockwise for intents like banishing negative thoughts or anxiety when using the slime

I love deco slime so add in items that relate to your intent like bead color and shape, glitter color, confetti, etc

For those of us with wandering minds, use fidget toys or stim toys to help you focus when chanting, working on a spell or meditating

After an exhausting spell, ritual or curse use your stimming toy or object of choice to help relax and rest after a spell well done.

Use glitter bottles, orbs, and wands/sticks to represent the stars in the sky or other cosmic bodies for cosmic witchcraft

Glitter wands also make wonderful wands! Especially for spells related to motion, water or wind, the sky or stars and anything related to the colors in the wand

For those who love paint mixing, choose your colors based off of intent and mix them together as the spell itself 

Use gifs and videos of stimming to help you during spells and keep you calm if needed or to just add added intent from the things in the videos

Chewing stim toys are great for anger relief, think about all of your frustrations and anger going into the chew stim or anythign else you wish to banish from yourself, then soak in water or cleanse in the sun/moonlight

Orbeez are great for color magic and mixing them with your fingers and hands to charge and activate the spell. Just do not ingest

Hope this helps all of my fellow stimming witches! Stimming toys, slime, sand, etc etc are all great to use in witchcraft. I personally love slime and deco-slime. I always use it after or during a spell to help me keep my focus. 

Hope you all have a wonderful day dears!!! ^0^

Another page in my BoS/Grimoire explaining what magic is! This page is a little sloppier than what I usually make because I wanted to get it down before my ideas left my head, haha. (I'll probably clean it up later...)

(sorry for the crappy photo! I tried out a new scanning method and it was really finicky.)

Reblog if you’re a witch who believes in science because saying witchcraft, Gods, and/or magick causes COVID-19 is not only stupid, it’s reckless.

[voxywitch]

shsgaghsjs so a little update! After considering everything, I decided that I want to try out actually worshiping a deity and trying to become a devotee or whatever the terminology is. I don't entirely know if this will work or if it'll be the right path for me, but you never know until you try, right? I've always kinda believed that there might be gods and goddesses out there (just... not as creation figures) so this won't be a huge leap for me? I think? I just need to restructure my thinking. I'm going to try and reach out to Apollo because I've always felt connected to him, and he's the god of many of the things that are important to me (specifically medicine and the arts/music).

If I find out that deity worship is something that isn't right for me, that's okay! If it does end up being something that is right for me, that's even better! This will be a process with lot of trial and error but I can't wait to see what happens. :)

Question for those who work with dieties! 🤔

(if you don't want to read the whole thing, just read the bolded text at the end.)

Hi! I've been meaning to try to attempt working with dieties in some form or another but because of how I personally choose to honor/acknowledge dieties... It's difficult. I have no hard feelings towards anyone who considers themselves religious or does "believe in" gods/goddesses/dieties! Everyone is entitled to their own beliefs so long as they aren't harming anyone else! It's just not my thing, you know?

My beliefs are like this: I do consider myself to be mostly athiest, but I honor/acknowledge dieties as a representation or embodiment of a concept. For instance, if I were to do a love or beauty spell I would likely "ask" Aphrodite for help; but it wouldn't be like asking another person for help, it'd be centering my focus on the embodiment of love and beauty in order to better conduct the spell.

The problem: I would like to start trying to work more closely with dieties in a way that isn't just a passing use (which I'm starting to realize is probably disrespectful). I find it comforting to seek guidance and help from dieties, even if it's probably just me talking at nothing. However, my beliefs make the two-way communication aspect that I see as a part of diety worship/work "tutorials" nigh impossible. I can communicate, but I simply can't receive messages back.

*Would it be possible for me to work with a deity that I feel strongly attached to, even if it's one-sided due to my "lack of belief"? And if you think that's possible, do you have any tips for how to go about it?*

(NOTE: some of you might find my beliefs to be wrong or maybe even disrespectful. However, I'm looking for guidance and answers, not insults and rudeness! Please be respectful.)

[voxywitch]

More grimoire pages, this time about tarot and oracle cards! (Ignore the app watermark in the bottom left corner, I can't do anything about that lmao)

[voxywitch]

Hey, I noticed that a TERF had followed me, so let me just make it clear that TERFs are not fucking welcome here. As a trans person myself, I don't support your disgusting and harmful ideology.

[voxywitch]

More grimoire pages from last night 👀 I made a few mistakes but other than that it's pretty good so far.
