Hello, I'm Rue. || 30s. She/Her. Queer, black, and married to a wicked witch. I read tarot, (badly) throw bones, and on the rare occasion I might ask the shells.
Keep it secret, keep it safe. My practice is a mix of African diasporic magic, european folk magic, southern conjure (with a dash of granny magic learned from my wife), and spirit work.
While I've been practicing witchcraft off an on for ten years, my practice has evolved in that time and looks very different from where it began.
I'm Spiritual but not religious. I consider myself to be an Independent Pagan, and my relationship with the divine is very 1:1 and deeply personal. I find that when I commune with them by myself, I get the clarity that eludes me when communal practice comes into play.
I speak to Spirit, and Spirit speaks to me. I've been a spirit worker for a little over 5 years, and it began with venerating my spiritual ancestors, and over time some of my physical ancestors have made their way onto my altar.
I do a lot of Introspective Spirit Work, but I find myself frequenting the Other Side as my practice and spiritual connections grow and evolve over time.
This is my personal witchcraft blog. Anything I write is a reflection of my personal thoughts and practice. I don't speak for other practitioners, just myself. If you don't enjoy my content-- block me. I think it's important to curate the space you want for yourself online. 🧿
As an aside, while I do feel minors have a place online and in community, my blog is not that place. I do not want minors following or sending me DMs/asks. This is a hard boundary and I ask it be respected.
Other Places:
@syristones (bougie auntie energy, self-love, affirmations, + vision boarding)
@cricketbugs (homemaking, nature, interior design, vintage glam)
@berrycobble (throwaway thoughts, memes, + funny things)
My Instagram and Pinterest are both also @ironandrue! (My insta is not strictly for personal posting, and I occasionally sell readings and such there.)
If we're moots and have interacted here before, you can ask for my Discord ID also!
I like to think I'm a kind person, and as a kind person that means I have zero tolerance for disrespectful or unkind behavior. This is not a blog that's friendly for bullies, racism, bigotry, transphobia, sexism, or other behavior of the like. I block people, and I very rarely argue.
At the end of the day, the day gotta end and what really matters is if you're happy with you and your life. Spend time building a life of joy and kindness because really that's all anyone's got.
