✨Welcome to my online witchy journal✨

🌱I'm AJ!🌱

I'm 26. I've been practicing witchcraft for over a decade. I live in the beautiful Rocky Mountains. I'm an anthropologist and photographer just trying to make life a little more magical.

(wow look at that! Thats my own photography!)

🌱My practice mainly focuses on the Norse pantheon and practices, both traditional and new age. However, I'm always learning new things and new practices that I find interesting and are open to me so feel free to ask questions! I'm sure I have some sort of answer.

🌱All of the witchy posts: Warlocket Speaks

🌱 Practices I'm actually good at:

Divination such as: Tarot, Pendulum, and Runes

Crystals

Herb Lore

Spirit work

Candle work

Sigils

Meditation

Astral Projection

Spell work

Low-Spoon magic

🌱And remember! DNI if you‘re an antivasker, don't believe in science or medicine, are a terf, exclusionist, homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, etcetera etcetera...

If you do some of the same stuff or just want to be friends, interact with this post! I need to fill up my dashboard! I have two devotional blogs: @thegreatestmother @laufeyjarsonlove

Low energy land spirit work

Please note that I would recommend properly greeting land spirits before talking to them, or making offerings to them. If you're intrested in reading about my thoughts and experiences with land spirits, give this previous post a look!

Open the window and let the outside air in. If your window is equipped with a screen against bugs, you can place a drink at the window for a few hours to serve as an offering

Taking a walk around the block, spotting the nearby trees, gardens, flowerbeds, rock formations...

Journal about your personal relationship with local natural spots, indigenous plants, wildlife...

Become interested in local birds! Birds are among the most common types of wildlife to be observed in urban areas, which makes it all the more relevant to do so. Setting up birdhouses also makes for a great offering!

Limit the amount of processed foods in your diet

Read up on plant identification in your area

Engage in artistic activities in order to depict nature! It might seem silly, but it's a good visualization exercise, and any time spent meditating upon the land spirits may be considered devotional. Drawing, painting, writing... no matter your activity of choice!

Reflect on what local issues might affect them, especially concerning environmental protection

Leave a bowl of clear water outside as an offering

Do your part to respect nature: composting, recycling, saving water and the like make perfect devotionals

Talk to them regularly, if only once a week. Spend a moment outside to tell them of your appreciation for their presence and protection

Use natural elements to decorate the house: get flowers when available, pick up the acorns or fallen leaves that strike your fancy...

this is incredibly reassuring to read as someone who is currently sitting on the fence of their spirituality and craft, because my fatigue has made everything that much harder. Going out for walks, going bone hunting or cleaning up litter, or whatever else I find myself doing to connect with the world around me is difficult when its too hot or too cold outside for me to cope with. When taking a few steps feels like a mile.

I do a lot of these things already. I always have, and I used to see them as integral parts of my connection and worship, but I think I lost that. It is good to be reminded that your whole life can be a prayer and dedication with every small step.

Remain hopeful my friend, there are lots of solutions to this sort of fatigue! As you can see, I’ve had to find them myself. It’ll get easier to navigate, I promise.
