#Witch! Heal Thyself!

[herbalfaerie]

I don't wanna "heal" my inner child, I wanna "give her a big sword."

[vulpine111]

During my next plant medicine experience, this time with a Sacred Healer from Emporium Black, I will be meditating on lessons from the Queen of Cups card throughout more shadow work writing exercises. 💚🥰 The main message from this card is to treat yourself with compassion and sympathy.

It's okay to care about and support yourself. Here are some other questions I'll be answering in a notebook for further healing with my root chakra. I found them on Google. I decide to focus on just 10 at a time, plus anything I didn't finish last time I sat down to do this.

1. Do I trust my own judgement?

2. What am I willing to compromise on?

3. What am I not willing to compromise on?

4. What are my strengths?

5. What are my weaknesses?

6. How can I improve my boundary setting skills?

7. What was my biggest disappointment as a child?

8. What was the most important lesson I learned as a child?

9. What is one thing I would tell my childhood self?

10. How can I use money to create a more fulfilling life?

[skeletonpandas]

Every moment of your life is essentially an investment in yourself. You are gonna spend it anyway. You might as well care for your self and find what you can wherever you are.

I know life itself is exhausting...but this has been all I could find.

Life's meaning.

It's what you make it.

shaman

this is something always in the back of my mind because of my own experiences.

my special interest is spirituality/the paranormal. ufos, cryptids, ghost, reincarnation, enlightenment, witchcraft, ritual, mythology -- you name it -- i love it!

that is because i have had paranormal experiences since i was a toddler.

my earliest memory was having a precognitive dream, then experiencing deja vu because what happened in the dream HAPPENED irl.

ever since then there has always been something slightly off about my perception of reality.

i have also had near death experiences. and ufo exp. and a faerie once. and lucid dreams. and astral traveling. more deja vu. repeating numbers is the most consistent and normal thing i exp anymore.

every now and then i'll have a weird dream. feel vibes.

but i am also autistic. and have cptsd. i've always felt different than other people. even before i knew that. i'm trans. i'm brown. i'm more intelligent than average.

these characteristics put together.. just make me a super minority. but i have read a few times from different sources that people who were "odd" or had different sex/gender characteristics were generally shaman. before western colonialism.

but it may be true that "odd" (disabled/neurodivergent/queer) people are more connected than normal to the spiritual world.

what is odd is that there is some correlation(?) between neurodivergence and intelligence/creativity. as well as between these two things and being queer.

so there is a physical, mental/emotional, and spiritual "triple threat" circumstance going on here.

outsiders. pariah. misunderstood.

but now it is much more normal. it is more acceptable. and that is good. and hopefully that means we are advancing into a world where everyone can be themselves and be supported to their full potential.

bc that is what this is really about. everyone being fully connected to who/what they are on a deep level. on the deepest and most intimate levels.

and i think that is what a spiritually advanced/connected or self-actualized (abraham maslow) person looks like.

Hail, Holy Queen, Mother of witches

Our muse, our fate, our life, our doom

To thee we do cry proud banished children of Eve

Rejoicing in this; thy verdant valley

Turn then, thy eyes of star-fire toward us

And after this, our beheading, may we be made worthy of the fruits of the Serpent

O’ shinning, O’ dreadful, O’ Pale queen

Drown and incinerate us, that we may be made worthy to bear the fire

Hail, bright star of the sea!

Heavens own Queen blest

Ever Shinning

Gate of heavenly healing

Font of magic

Taking that sweet Ave

That the serpent spoke

Peace confirm within us

Hailing Eves name

Break the captives fetters

Starlight upon the waters pour

All our ills expelling

Every bliss implore

Show thyself a Queen!

Sorceress all exceeding

Most beauteous and shinning

Freed from impurity, preserve us

Broken and remade

To our oaths keep us

Make our way secure

As the sea, by thy sky-strung pearls

We navigate

Through the highest heaven

To the darkest depths

We honor thee

You who light the way

1. Delayed Response: I appreciate your email. With Vicente absent, I assumed he would update me upon his return, which is why my response has been delayed.

2. Defense Adjustment: Initially, I didn’t see option one as a viable choice, but I would like to proceed with it now. I want to adjust my defense to focus on Disability Discrimination, which will allow me to consult a psychiatrist regarding my mental health and its impact on my living situation. This is particularly important given my late rent payments stemming from L&Q's slow response to maintenance issues.

3. Open Communication: I’ll ensure my phone is always charged and close by, ready for your calls to discuss these options further. Thank you for your prompt updates regarding my case.

4. Exploring Existence: I find myself reflecting on the nature of wizards, witches, and the concept of God. Is God within me, within the universe, or something beyond our understanding? In the entertainment industry, the "talented" often cast spells through their art and intentions. Language itself is a spell, and the real magic lies in our intentions.

5. Mainstream Influence: There’s a reason for mainstream success; it relies on the intentions of those who influence the masses. We often say that society is entrapped in a "Matrix," unable to think independently and create their own realities. Those who have mastered themselves can create art that reflects their truths, which in turn influences others.

6. Intentions Behind Art: The terms "wizards" and "witches" come into play when we consider how individuals manifest their realities. Communities often form around shared intentions, and these energies can be powerful. Religion, social media, and the arts all carry energetic intentions that shape our experiences.

7. Self-Discovery and Creation: The Bible's wisdom of "know thyself" rings true for me. We all possess the ability to create and manifest our desires. As I step into the spotlight, I remind myself that my journey is for me. Fame should not be about serving others but about honoring my own path.

8. Separating Art from the Artist: The question of whether we should separate an artist from their art is complex. It’s easier said than done, as the identity of an artist is often intertwined with their work. Yet, we must consider the consequences of their actions, especially when they misuse their power.

9. Historical Context: Reflecting on the darker aspects of history, such as colonization and exploitation, raises questions about accountability. Should we apply this same scrutiny to artists whose actions contradict societal values?

10. Personal Reflections on Relationships: My experiences with love and relationships have been transformative. I’ve learned from younger and older partners, each providing a different balance to my understanding of connection. Whether through youthful energy or mature wisdom, these experiences have shaped me.

11. Emotional Healing: I recognize that my journey towards healing has involved navigating vulnerability. As I open myself to love, I seek partnerships that reflect my growth and understanding. I’m grateful for those who have come into my life, teaching me valuable lessons along the way.

12. Cultural Shifts: The world is changing, and we must adapt our perspectives. Relationships across age gaps have long been a part of human history, yet we are now called to examine these dynamics critically.

13. Seeking Balance: Moving forward, I am committed to forming connections that align with my values and experiences. I want to engage with individuals closer to my age, fostering mutual understanding and respect.

14. Conclusion: Let's embrace this evolution in our understanding of relationships, art, and personal growth. I appreciate your willingness to explore these complex themes with me.

Best regards,

Sainey (Yenias) Kanteh

In a world where spirituality and religion often cross paths yet remain distinct, witchcraft emerges as a beacon of empowerment and ancient wisdom. It's a practice that honors the earth, respects the cycles of nature, and embraces the magic that flows through all things. From spellcasting akin to prayer, to the universal rule of 'Do No Harm,' witchcraft offers a unique spiritual journey for those who seek to walk a path lit by the stars of their own making.

[mystical-shadows]

The 13 Goals of the Witch

1 Know yourself

Know yourself– “Know thyself”- inscribed on the Temple of Apollo at Delphi. Where the high priestess prophesied, and that was originally dedicated to the Goddess Gaia. The journey we take to know the God and Goddess is often a journey to know ourselves as well. Like DNA spirals, they are intertwined, inseparable. The Charge of the Goddess says “And you who seek to know Me, know that the seeking and yearning will avail you not, unless you know the Mystery: for if that which you seek, you find not within yourself, you will never find it without. For behold, I have been with you from the beginning, and I am That which is attained at the end of desire.” We are not asked subject or bury ourselves, to disappear, in order to find the Goddess. It is in finding ourselves that we will most truly find her.

2 Know your Craft

3 Learn

4 Apply knowledge with wisdom

Know your craft/Learn/Apply knowledge with wisdom– Never stop learning. There is always more to learn. On one hand, Wicca is quite simple. It is a religion that worships a pre-Christian God and Goddess, reverences nature, and practices witchcraft. On the other hand, there are so many facets to it, you can spend your whole life studying and barely scratch the surface. History, mythology, quantum physics, magick, folklore, herbalism…the list goes on and on. And it’s not just knowledge for the sake of knowledge. It’s knowledge to know the God and the Goddess better and to grow in our relationship with them. It’s knowledge to grow in our Craft. It’s knowledge to help heal this world, to do our part to end the evils that threaten us. And it’s knowledge to hone our Craft, so we leave something even better and more complete and more accurate for the next generation.

5 Achieve balance

6 Keep your words in good order

7 Keep your thoughts in good order

Keep your words and thoughts in good order– This is one of those ideals that is in every religion. Your thoughts are basically the oxygen of your inner life. And your words are the expression of that inner life. Thoughts that you allow to get away from you can poison your soul, and they will spill out of your mouth. Note that I am NOT speaking about the sadness that comes along with depression, or the thoughts that come along with anxiety, or what have you. I’m talking about choosing to dwell on the harm that someone did you, or continually thinking negative thoughts against yourself instead of working to think thoughts of self-love, or allowing your temper to get out of control. Revenge, fury, self-hated, bitterness-these need to be purged like the toxins they are.

8 Celebrate life

9 Attune with the cycles of the Earth

Celebrate life/attune with the cycles of the earth– These are givens for a religion that reverences nature, that honors not only human life but plant and animal life as well. Everything participates to some degree in the immanent divinity and thus, everything is sacred, which should affect how you act. The Goddess and God are not only transcendent, they are immanent, and they are in the trees and the waters and the air and the animals to various degrees. Don’t take life carelessly or needlessly. Realizing the sacred nature of Nature makes us aware that she has lessons to teach us, and the Wiccan religion believes she does this through the Wheel of the Year and the monthly cycles of the moon. Ignoring those and not making any attempt to celebrate them or connect with their mysteries is missing out on a large part of what Wicca is about.

10 Breathe and eat correctly

11 Exercise the body

12 Meditate

Breathe and eat correctly/exercise the body/meditate– The body and soul are inexorably linked during our life. What you do to your body affects your soul. And your body is made up of earth stuff. It’s linked to the Earth. It has lessons to teach you, too. The fact that your body can help in the creation of life shows how important it is. Take care of it.

13 Honor the Lord and Lady

Honor the Lord and the Lady– the reason we’re Wiccan. We’re not Wiccan to get whatever we want through spells, or to get warm fuzzies when we go out in nature. We’re members of the Old Religion, after all, and the roots of the word ‘religion’ means to “bind, connect, or cleave to”. We are looking to bind, connect and cleave to the God and the Goddess, however we see them as. Wicca without deity is something that many seem to be trying for today, but I would strongly argue that is not Wicca. That is witchcraft. Wicca worships/reverences/honors (whatever term) the God and the Goddess.

The 5D laws of Sacred Life ~ Divine Earth

I have experienced vibrational rape on every level, every dimension for the sake of another's ego, clout, the false and arrogant unhealed bidding system of what the devil wants, the wounded arrogance of selling human flesh and spirit in ego driven lack wounding

When you sit, dear ones, sit, before you wound the soul of another - know 10X's it will return and wound you and you will face until you have accepted and cleared It whole;

why are there addictions, obsessions, black magic, the chanting and ceremonies of taking, wounding, raping, bidding on the chakra's the name, the soul of another - when there is such emptiness within to seek what it takes

I have seen my images been chanted on, mirrored to darkness and giving myself to the devil, the jars of doom and hatred of the divine for a belief I am, the sense and essence I am - the discrimination of the witches that know not universal laws, and know not the truth of all essences of all foundations of life, so too I was the lesson for others, I was the story to what Source is, true prophets are, and for that to be, my sacred tongue, my sacred voice, to bring light beyond light, life, and what was done behind closed doors and fooled the innocent - I AM

The slashing of the sacred in my dreams and imprints, projections and spells of death sent day-after-day and I called judgement years ago = the continuing hate, discrimination, evasion of my life on every level and in every realm - I have seen you all - I know the precision of a thread of vibration and the intention of a word - this is what I know; truth is, value is, the story is; humanity arise, we are better than the abuse of another

Heal thyself - so your wounds do not become another's - know thyself and all is well - it is really that simple

The abuse of another, because you think, want, ache to take, to know yourself as another - or have or fill yourself with what is already within - the devil is only that of a wound and pain, trauma and drama that at some point was not your fault and in such, the master is one that sees and forgives all to create cycles of love and light -

Break the cycles of pain, trauma, abuse, and misguidance of the universal creational laws - creational laws supersede all human magic and unlawful witches, warlocks, and underground masonry groups egoically corrupting communities with greed, selling and bidding of life - wake up dear ones - wake up - who are you -

Arise - we are far more intelligent than the taking of another - in any way - you are love and light - heal thyself listen to thyself - forgive and let go - Source is

the devil works this way - to feed what is bottomless; and the devil will always come knocking for it is built on nothingness - the temptation to feed, the wounds of envy, greed, gluttony, jealousy of 7 sins, the wounding of the inner child;

we return to earth again and again until we get this -

Life is sacred;

All life, all children, all women, all tribes, all children, all elders - there is no religion better or above another, we are the loving grace of new life - sacred true easy and fulfilling - Soulful living is this way

Anything before you - transmute it - to peace, light, good will - all is grace

Blessings and light

I just want to take a second to be appreciative.

A little over three months ago I was correctly diagnosed for the first time in my life, at the age of 43.

I learned that I have been SURVIVING BPD (Borderline Personality Disorder). The news, while a welcome key to solving some of the subtler mysteries of a painful and isolating life, hit like a ton of bricks. I have been resolute in ending my own life 4 times, beginning at the age of 18.

I was hospitalized for the standard week, then rereleased into the wild. The system has been giving me the old brush-off, as the system does. Therefore, I've spent this time researching, learning, and educating myself about this monster (me) that lives in my brain.

In this pursuit of truth and knowledge I have also been leaning into my previously undertaken study of Gnosticism.

Here's where the magic happens:

My studies of both mental health and Gnosticism have converged and become a big blinking neon self-help guidepost.

Yesterday, after meditating, I experienced crazy synchronicities all day and felt comforted and secure for like... two hours, which is as rare as a vacation.

I am grateful for the amazing minds that have paved the way of knowledge and truth.

Fuck the system.

Do your shadow work.

So tasty. I made some for my asthma flare up that’s been going on. Good anti-inflammatory, and it has a nice mellow taste with a bit of honey. 🐝🌿
