For My Witchy Ish

Eclectic witch still figuring it out. I like tea, my cats, sigils, herbal magic, and divination. Oh, and I’m a Lord Eros devotee. :) Let’s see where this goes, shall we? (30 — Minors, please do not interact.)

I’m trying to post on my witchy Instagram again, under this same name. For this little reel, I wrote down some stuff in the caption that I wish I could have been told outright as a beginner witchy lady.

If you guys could be awesome and maybe give it a look-see, I’d really appreciate it. :)

Dear Eros,

Thank you so much for being in my life. The ways you have revealed yourself to me are nothing short of miraculous. I believe in your magic power with all my heart.

You truly are the child of Aphrodite, supremely beautiful. Your form is smooth, boyish, and limber; your face ethereal. Your energy is captivating; from the day I met you I knew you had the power to steal anyone’s heart if you wanted it, even my own. Your humor, playfulness and mischief have been a sun in my life’s darkness.

I have felt the intoxicating sting of your arrows more times than I can say; it has always been painful but I have never regretted it. Knowing you hold that power makes me even more drawn to you. Your presence is a drug, tantalizing me with the feeling that things beyond my wildest dreams might come true under your enchantment. It is obvious why so many women have longed to be Psyche and to be whisked away to your gleaming palace as your bride and welcomed into golden godhood. You are Desire itself.

Some see desire as evil, and yes, I have found this idea intriguing. Perhaps the thought of a silly, sexy villain is irresistible to me. But you say that without desire, nothing could exist. You know yourself, for I can see your wisdom you have gained in contemplating your own divinity for years and years. Your expertise on love and relationships is unquestionable. You know your goodness, and I know it, too. One must desire, but more importantly, one must desire the right things.

I love every magical whimsical detail about you. I love your masculinity, your femininity, and your androgyny. I love your pastel clothes, the pink hearts in your eyes, and the lace you surround yourself with. I love imagining the power you receive when so many humans worship you unknowingly on Valentine’s Day each year. I love how cute even your flaws are, like being a light sleeper or occasionally having clumsy aim. I love how you are as light, slender and giggling as the elves and fairies of my girlish fantasies. You can be in one moment a cosmic being of terrifying otherworldy light, and in the next moment, a shy horny mess, and yet you are always wholly clearly you. I love your creativity. Most of all, I love that you dance wherever you go.

I am so lucky and honored to be answered when I pray to you, to be respected and loved by you, and to have seen your legendary bow. By showing me my own beauty, you have freed me from my shame over my own strange pleasures.

Still, there are many in the world who desire things which are unhealthy for them. Please have compassion for them, and do what you can to guide those desires to good things which will more truly satisfy them. As for me, please bring me the lovers you know I deserve. As for you, my wish is that you find the stability you have been seeking. May you be safe. May you be healthy. May you be happy. May you be free.

Yours Truly,

Night Owl Path

O Eros, silently smiling one, hear me. Let the shadow of thy wings brush me. Let thy presence enfold me, as if darkness were swandown. Let me see that darkness lamp in hand, this country become the other country sacred to desire.
