#lots of Agdistis and no Dionysos which is interesting

[thegodwhocums]

(I'm a little late to the party but this is a good practice, hello hello)

WORKING: 1. recovering from an extremely impactful unbinding in July which led to me leaving my exploitative job and asking my long distance partner whether they would consider moving to be nearer. 2. I have the strong feeling that my altars are no longer properly configured for working at, but when I approach them to rearrange it feels like they aren't actually the problem. so maybe it's me! currently troubleshooting. several time sensitive workings are pending altars coming back online. 3. in process of building a relationship with a particular hollow tree to serve as a ritualistic Mouth of the genderfuck Earth daemon Agdistis, for the purpose of receiving buried offerings inside it. 4. drying herbs and saving seeds from the garden! harvesting vegetables so @flamingkorybante can jam or pickle them! not sure if explicitly magic but very magical.

RESEARCHING: my ability to ask a tree for consent to participate in a formal spirit relationship AND interpret the tree's response correctly is in serious doubt so I'm looking into techniques that might help me feel more confident of the answer I receive. I'm also going back to basics and restarting my channeling process from scratch, which is involving me rereading Yulia Ustinova and various other sources. Rocket and I continue to work on expanding access to the Agdistine Order tools, which involves researching the mechanics of Mystery transmission.

CRAFTING: I'm making a cloth eye mask with labradorite eyes stitched to the outside as a sensory aid for channeling. I'm making incense from invasive mugwort and motherwort. I gotta get to work planning and painting the cantastoria for the paradosis of the Agdistine Order.

This is going to make me sound like a cantankerous old bitch, but meh, I'm gonna say it anyway.

Witchcraft is too commercialised nowadays.

It's great to see so many witchcraft books and supplies available. I can walk into kmart or big w and find witchcraft books, tarot cards, and crystals now.

The problem, though, is that everything that's readily available to the masses (i.e. the first thing witchlings may interact with) is all so watered down to be socially acceptable that it gives a warped view to new practitioners while being simultaneously useless to experienced practitioners.

As much as I love how personalised the craft is, I genuinely wish more experienced witches published their personal grimoires and gnosis. I would love to see what others are working on/what works for them.

So here's my plea: if you're an experienced witch (I.e. practising for over 5 years and working your own path), please share a little titbit of what you're currently working/researching/crafting.
