[astro-witchery]

~~~ 🅘🅝🅣🅡🅞 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My name is Sasha. I am a cosmic/astro/lunar witch. This means: I do a lot of rituals around the moon cycles, I tend to also do intention setting based on lunar phases, and live my life by astrological and cosmic patterns and magic.

I am also an astrologer (I’ve been practicing and studying for over 6 years). I’m a Sagittarius sun, Sagittarius moon, and Cancer ascendant in Tropical Astrology. {Scorpio Sun, Sagittarius Moon, and Gemini Ascendant in Western Sidereal.} I study all types of astrology but I’m most well versed in Western Tropical and Western Sidereal Astrology.

I also do tarot, oracle, & dabble with other forms of divination. Plus, I believe myself to be claircognizant and use this to help aide in my witchery.

I consider myself an Agnostic Pagan and Witchy. I am also and animist. I identified as a Hellenic Polytheist for a while but have recently decided to explore my ancestry and it’s relation to other spiritual paths (absolutely not in a folkish or racist way btw!) I am adopted and it’s always been really hard for me, not being able to explore my ancestry and do ancestor work within my spiritual practice.

I am possibly a mix of Anglo-Saxon, Devon, & Cornish descent. My adopted family is of Scottish, Welsh, & French descent. I’m still putting together my biological family tree. This very hard for me to do as I don’t have a lot of access to info being an adoptee. (I am not claiming I have certain rights to cultures because of this, I am just trying to learn about my ancestors and their spiritual practices to find answers about my own inherent beliefs about spirituality that I was born with.)

I have always had a love for religious and philosophical studies. I had very profound spiritual experiences at a very young age (for example: I knew I was reincarnated without even really knowing what death was or about spirituality). Most people in these spaces have a similar story to starting off Christian and not being satisfied (or being traumatized) by their church. I grew up Baptist and when I could explore other options after I left home I did.

I currently research: Christian Sects (especially Catholicism and Greek Orthodoxy, but also really enjoy niche fringe sects and “folk Catholicism” or “Christian Witchcraft”), Pagan and Polytheistic religions (Hellenic Polytheism, Proto Indo-European Polytheism, Anglo-Saxon Heathenry, Norse Heathenry, & Celtic Polytheism or more specifically Cornish/Devon/Welsh Druidism), Hinduism, Buddhism, Atheism, and honestly I could add more to list but I don’t want to ramble on. This does not mean I am an eclectic witch or that I mix pantheons or practices, I just enjoy reading/studying all types of world religions and I’m still searching for the right practice for me.

This is just a place where I can share and reblog helpful info and share aspects of my craft ~

I'm still figuring out my beliefs but I consider myself an agnostic pagan witch. I don't know if I believe in the supernatural or deities as literal entities or not. I lean towards yes, at least to some extent, but due to how my brain works I'm just never going to be 100% unless I get some sort of evidence in the affirmative (I don't think there's really a way to definitively prove they don't exist). This really got in the way of my practice for many years because I was constantly second guessing. In a lot of magical systems belief is step one and any doubt will keep it from working.

However, a few months ago I found Sedna Woo's channel on Youtube and she introduced me to a new way of thinking of it. My current philosophy is that it doesn't matter if my witchcraft is a placebo or if there is at least a partial supernatural explanation, if it works it works. It doesn't matter if deities are literal individual entities (the explanation I would like to be true), facets of a whole, or figments of my imagination if I derive comfort from worshiping them. Could change if I ever receive unmistakable signs or communication, but I am trying to accept that in all likelihood that will not be something I ever experience.

the trees you grew up with have not forgotten you. their branches still whisper your name in the breeze and their roots remember the paths your feet once traced through their shade.

In the AO3 Demographics Survey 2024 - an unofficial demographics survey of 16,131 AO3 users - 17% of respondents identified as Christian, while 69% identified as having no religion.

me when i realize. i can worship deities without 100% believing in them because the concept of them and things they represent are real either way

[theghostwizard]

I want to pray to things that are real. Things that I can touch and see.

I want to pray to my local library, for being a haven for me since before I knew how to read.

I want to pray to the trees in my backyard, that lead into the woods my mother and I used to make regular pilgrimages through.

I want to give offerings to the little demon poppet I made, and kiss the top of his little head to thank him for making me feel less lonely.

I want to pray to my apartment building, my water heater, for keeping me safe and warm.

I want to pray to my body, myself, for making it this far.

I want to be grounded, show gratitude, and live fully in this singular life of mine.

mid-war Fire nation religion was probably a lot like Catholicism methinks but I won’t elaborate cuz then I’ll scare away the hoes

[birdtheology]

If polyamory (the term, not the practice) came out of polytheistic Paganism and monogamy is promoted by the vast majority of monotheistic traditions, what kind of new relationship model do you think the agnostics should come up with?

[arrowheadedbitch]

Perhaps the worst thing about growing up christian is the way the issues convert. What the fuck do you mean I have pagan guilt now.

[malefixium]

Hey. Your matter recalls cosmic explosions and you tasted oblivion before you learned your own name. Fear nothing.

[altarcat]

reading the oddessy in english, which is rlly cool as a hellenic pagan... but whenever i see stuff ancient greek related im just sorta reminded that people tend to just go "oh, greek gods are fake stories lol" instead of respecting it as an actual religion. hellenism is older than jesus himself, and still id never flat out claim their god isnt real. please, for the love of all the gods, including yahweh, just respect us.

[bookmothic-dyke]

I have no obligation to morality.

I believe in no great and singular god above me and above all.

I believe in no heaven, nor any hell.

There is no reward.

There is no punishment.

No tally.

No game.

No rules.

So why am I a good person?

Because I fucking want to be. And that’s all the reason I’ll ever need. Even if you think I’m not. I know I am. And that’s good enough for me.
