Introductory Post

Updated 9/1/2022

| Basic Info

Name: I go by Jayde, Jay, Asteris, and Aster, so feel free to call me by whichever one suits your fancy.

Pronouns: Any pronouns are fine and welcome really, so feel free to use your favorites. I have certain preferences at certain times but they change too frequently to really matter to me. I identify as nonbinary and gender-fluid.

Age: 18. I only really share this so that those who don’t feel comfortable interacting with people around this general age know.

Extra: I struggle with dissociation and consider myself part of a system, but that shouldn’t really come up much here.

| Witchy Stuff

I’ve been a practicing witch for about 3 years now, and still consider myself fairly new to it. A lot of what I’m currently focused on is experimentation, developing/fine-tuning my personal craft, and digging deep into my own philosophies and beliefs.

I do not follow any particular tradition or path as far as I’m aware, I’m just doing my own thing and taking inspiration from what makes sense to me (without appropriation). My practice follows a pretty animistic framework, but I don’t really have a good catch-all way to describe it other than eclectic, as I’m building this path from the ground up and it’s currently in a very fluid and evolving state.

Main Magical Interests Include but are not limited to:

Divination

Spirit and Deity Work

Pop Culture Magic/Paganism

Art Witchcraft, as well as wordcraft and writing magic

Sigil magic

Hearth and Home Witchcraft as well as working magically with the concept of thresholds

Interacting with nature through an animistic framework and connecting to the land around me.

Interacting with celestial bodies and other cosmic stuff in a similar animistic framework.

Definitely more I can’t think of at the moment. I like learning about pretty much everything.

| Miscellaneous

- I’ve got ADHD and a plethora of other mental (and some physical) health issues that affect my day to day life. I do consider myself a spoonie for these reasons. Because of this it’s a bit rare for me to make original posts, as I am pretty constantly fatigued.

- I’m a college student, which also impedes my ability to make any sort of original content. I’m an art major, and I’m also currently working towards a writing minor and potentially more.

- On that note, I am an artist! I haven’t really put much of my stuff out there on the internet yet and have no art account to promote. I am, however, always willing to talk about art stuff and any art that I happen to post on this account can be found under the tag #Jayde Does Art Stuff

- Some general, non-witchy interests of mine include psychology, astronomy, art, poetry, gaming (both video games and tabletop rpg type stuff) and more. Passing interests I haven’t had the time to really explore yet include computer science/coding, botany, and philosophy.
