Predators. They're predators.

Annual reminder to Witchblr: Lilith is not an ancient Pagan dark goddess. She's a demon from Jewish mythology and she's a closed entity of Judaism. If you're not Jewish, then leave her alone.

Might fuck around and create a fantasy world in my mind to distract myself from the pressures of reality.

Hey I saw your response to a different anon about tarot and I just wanted to say that many many many Romani who actually grew up with the traditions agree that white people shouldn't be using tarot. The history of tarot was indeed started as playing cards but Roma are the only ones who divined from it. There is still much descrimination today for doing traditional practices and seeing white girls living their dream doing tarot is extremely disrespectful. Seeing you call it racist for someone to call out CA was absolutely revolting. Please do not spread the hateful misinformation you are. Please listen to real Roma

Alright, I'm breaking character for this one because it involves me personally.

Again, as far as I know, saying tarot is endemic to romani culture is akin to saying moneylending is endemic to jewish culture.

As far as I am aware, the roma are not the only people to divine with tarot cards, and they did not invent the practice.

And again, the author of this blog is ethnically Romani. Although I am fairly isolated from the culture, I have access to people who aren’t. When I asked my culturally romani family members about this, they said they had never heard of this concept.

Now, that doesn’t inherently mean I am correct. I am completely open to the fact that I may be wrong about this. However, it does mean that I am going to have to ask for proof beyond “I saw some people say this somewhere“ because as far as I know, the earliest citation for romani people using tarot for divination people is from Elphias Levi’s Key of Mysteries (1861), and the earliest citation for divinatory tarot as we know it was from by Jean-Baptiste Alliette in approximately 1780, when he and Antoine Court published a guide for performing cartomancy with the Tarot of Marseilles.

Additionally, philosopher and tarot historian Michael Dummett noted, in his book The Game of Tarot. "it was only in the 1780s, when the practice of fortune-telling with regular playing cards had been well established for at least two decades, that anyone began to use the tarot pack for cartomancy.”

So, If you have a primary source on tarot being used for divination by romani people prior to 1780, I’ll have to reconsider.

Pls keep your “Blessed Be”

Someone asked me “what’s wrong with Blessed Be” earlier today and I cannot find my previous post on this so here we go. 

The phrase Blessed Be is from a very specific Gardnerian Wicca ritual called the Five Fold Kiss. This was the origin of the phrase. In this ritual, a cis man and a cis woman play the roles of the Horned God and Mother Goddess in a fertility rite during which they kiss each other’s genitals to bless their fertility and sacredness in the Wiccan religion.

The issue is that quoting this blessing outside of the rite doesn’t remove its context and now we’re in a situation where the person you are quoting it to did not consent to participate in the ceremony or the meaning behind these words.

I’m not Wiccan, not cis, not heterosexual, and I absolutely under no circumstances want my womb/genitals blessed. Continuing to say “Blessed Be”  once someone explains why they’re uncomfortable completely neglects consent.

If you want to say something nice please consider some of these alternatives.
