*Wipes dirt from my skin and miasma from my soul*

Beloved,

It’s time to reawaken. It’s time to reconnect. It’s time to drench myself in my desire and let my hunger sing me to freedom.

My desire is a magnet and my compass. Feeding my desires and satiating my hungers brings me in fuller alignment with my highest self and in better position to move in my purpose.

After a 10 year journey of healing, struggling, and finding my way in the dark after a substantial trauma that ripped me away from my deepest self, I am re emerging, born fresh and hungry, and reorienting myself and my life in alignment with the things I want the most. I am reconnecting to the more ecstatic elements of my witchcraft practice, and growing closer to my nature as primordial and as a being of Faerie. I have been practicing witchcraft for 23 years, but the last 10 years has been a lot of internal, personal alchemy and I’m finally ready to open my practice back up now that I have healed some major wounds and restablished my sense of self, my boundaries, my desires, my goals, and my broader connection to the Worlds.

I am a being of many things. I am gentle and kind. I am loving and compassionate. I am angry and vengeful. I am petty and cold. I am ravenous and insatiable. I am intimately acquainted with scarcity and lack, so I know the medicine of indulgence and excess. I am poison in the way that I can be both healing and harmful. I can be both uninhibited intoxication and sober clarity. I am wild and I am reserved. I know danger and safety and can embody them both. I am peaceful, not in the way that many people are harmless, but in the way that I know I am capable of immense harm but choose not to act in that way unless truly necessary. I see no value in doing needless harm, and prefer to move in love, to be generative, connected, community minded, and compassionate. I know both calm and rage. I am beautiful and vain, and yet I can be fearful and unaware of my worth. Aesthetics and appearance matter to me, and yet I know the moments and contexts in which they are meaningless. My magic is born out of alignment with myself and my spirits, fits of passion fuel it to grow.

I am not quite sure what this blog will become, but I imagine it will be a combination of images and posts that inspire me, some reflections or journey experiences, thoughts and words that inspire me, especially as I read some books on ecstatic craft and trance possessory work. I may develop a tag list as this project evolves. This is an adult blog for an adult audience. Expect spirit work, ecstatic Witchery, trance and possessory experiences, journey work, altered states, sex, vampirism, faerie nonsense. I may sometimes frame my posts as love letters to myself, my craft, or my spirits. This blog is for me. I walk a wild, crooked path that I don’t expect many will align or resonate with. I speak in riddles and breathe poetry. I have made peace with the all the above and I expect, if you wish to be here with me, that you make peace with it too.

Yours in Desire and Passion,

V 🌹✨

Otherkin and pagan issue please don't leave hate comments I'm trying dude

ok uh random post nonsense but hiii I'm Jude and I'm a fae otherkin and a practicing pagan witch. Anyway I have two cousins who are pagan and one of them (who is a practicing witch)greatly wants me to work with the fae and will not shut up about (I would kind of like to work with the fae) but since I'm a far otherkin that seems kinda offensive to fae/not a good idea. Anyways advice from literally anyone with knowledge appreciated

[arethinn]

Some Pagans think the whole idea of faery otherkin is offensive to the Folk in the first place, because they view it as impossible and as play-acting by idiot humans with something that is real and should be taken seriously; but I'm going to assume that isn't what you mean, unless you are consciously just playing around for fun (in which case I would suggest that "otherkin" isn't the word you want to use, and yeah, Themselves might find that offensive if you then tried to approach them for a working relationship).

If you're not doing that, and you do really mean that you know yourself to be fae, then I am not sure what it is that you are picturing would be offensive. It can certainly mean that the Others will react to you differently than they do to humans, so it is possible that it might not be a good idea to do faery work with these cousins specifically, but that depends on your relationship with them. Do they know that you're otherkin or is that something you'd be afraid of them finding out?

[tuiliel]

I'm fae otherkin and work with fae, and yeah it can kinda complicate some things, but it makes others easier, so it kinda evens out ime. But yeah you may not want to do group things with people who aren't mythic kin? Otherwise I am not sure what problems you're anticipating

Cultivate your sanctuary. There needs to be a place you can go to and step back from all the mortal trappings of this world.

Today's Affirmation:

The more I stand in my Power and my Truth, the easier my Way becomes.

The more true my inner alignment is, the more my external world is pulled into alignment with me.

I dance on the warp and weft of Fate, and find my way forward with ease.

vi. prayer to the riders

thunder on the rooftops: the wild hunt rides out baying as they cross the western skies stormclouds boil, lightning crashes the wind whips rain across our cheeks— or snow falls like a blanket to the earth hooves spark on nothingness and the northern lights erupt across the stars

we watch as they gallop, we earthbound dreamers our faces tipped to the heavens the hunters are a cavalcade; the hunt rides for its own tell me, then, if you would have what is theirs— who rides for you? and more than that who do you ride for?

dare to reach after them and you might just find you can fly

There is some slim evidence that the concept of the aos sidhe may have been or developed from pre-Christian Irish gods (not the Tuatha Dé Danann, precursors to them). Certainly the general concept of powerful, mercurial human adjacent Otherworldly spirits is widespread both in Europe & further.

However there is no evidence to support the idea the sidhe or any other fairy-like beings were ever seen as entirely benevolent, wholly beneficial beings historically. Nor were any (most?) Gods tbh.

The idea of the aos sidhe, or fairies, etc, as potentially dangerous isn't Christian propaganda.

Yes, there is evidence of various attempts, especially by protestant sects, to demonize fairies et al. These attempts were largely unsuccessful and resulted in fairies et al being crammed into Christian cosmology as slightly scruffy angels or mostly meh demons, yet always their own distinct category.

The idea of fairies as purely helpful guides to humanity is a 20th century concept coming from the new age movement, further rooted in theosophy. It's an outgrowth of a wider idea in those paradigms that centres everything around humans. It cherry picks only stories of good interactions to accept as true while ignoring or denying anything else as anti-fairy propaganda

Globally every culture has a variety of spirits, some good, some bad, most mercurial & capable of being either in relation to humans.

#NotAllFairies can be dangerous, but honestly like 95% of them.
