Possibly the most important article I've written. How can we as witches help out during this hellish and doomy time?

I would REALLY appreciate reblogs are shares for this article.

I kind of hate it that when I try to look up certain questions, I just get the bible and SO many things saying 'get the holy water' like NO??

I just wanna know why I have an incubus feeding on my dreams every so often. Like, it doesn't feel 'bad'. Actually feels refreshing, makes me feel better when I wake up. And it only happens maybe once a month, it's not a constant thing.

Can someone just explain this to me, so I don't have to see posts that say 'oh demons bad grrr Jesus holy water god blah blah blah'.

i will be starting a new series on fixed stars and their use in astrology.

fixed stars are the physical stars in the night sky that compose the constellations.

galactic anomalies like black holes and nebulas linger in our skies, each aligned to a different part of the zodiac. modern astrological systems involving the fixed stars and other heavenly bodies are sparse.

for the past couple of years, I have been working on a branch of study called Galactic Astrology.

this is what I will share here ::

feel free to put in any requests for specific stars to be analyzed first. examples include - sirius, betelgeuse , andromeda galaxy, orion::

((a modern disambiguation for these celestial spheres has yet to be written, so I will be updating many of these sources to reflect modern times. ))

rituals in everyday life

so i was reading New Moon Magic: 13 Anti-Capitalist Tools for Resistance and Re-Enchantment by Risa Dickens and Amy Torok for some inspiration on the Virgo new moon and that chapter of the book contained something that got me thinking.

the authors discuss how a ritual is a repetitive action that accumulates results over time, not only in a magical practice. so for example, a skincare routine is a ritual with the accumulating goal of improving the condition of your skin as well as maintaining its health.

so i wanted to shortly reflect of some aspects of my daily life that could be seen as rituals and this may inspire you to look at the mundane a bit more magically too! if you're pagan like me, you could also see these rituals as actions you do for the gods, as offerings or devotional activities.

showering

this one is the obvious one. showering is the ritual to keep yourself generally clean. i never really thought of it as a ritual because i don't enjoy showering too much but i always feel clean and rejuvenated afterwards. having a shower or a bath could then be seen as a small cleansing ritual, getting you ready for the day ahead or purifying you from the day's troubles.

similar to this could be routines such as skincare, brushing your teeth, cutting your nails and other body cleanliness or maintenance tasks.

taking meds

for me this is specifically taking my testosterone which i do every day. it has become a routine so i don't really think about it much anymore but i should! it is a commitment i am making to my body and my happiness and similarly to the shower one, it is something that makes me feel happier and more in touch with myself.

if you also take meds, you can also think about the action as a ritual that prepares you for the day ahead (if you take them in the morning) or as the maintenance of your body and/or mind. if you don't take meds you could instead apply this to other morning routines such as eating breakfast, cooking food, taking vitamins or having a cup of coffee.

evening routine/ritual

in the evening i do multiple things that calm me down and set my mind into "getting ready for sleep" mode. i used to struggle with sleep a lot due to my adhd but i have since incorporated things that help me fall asleep more easily. now that i'm assessing this routine through a different lens, it seems more like a ritual, a series of motions that help me set my mind onto something and achieve my goal.

during my evening routine/ritual, i first take my melatonin which helps me to fall asleep in a timely manner. then i go floss and brush my teeth. after this i usually turn my laptop off, directing myself away from my desk and towards the bed. finally, i do my evening skincare routine and go lay in bed and while i sometimes still go on my phone or read, i am usually able to fall asleep soon enough. in a sense, this is a ritual that helps me fall asleep and have a good rest.

studying/going to school

while i have recently finished my degree, now in retrospect i see studying and going to school as a ritual which helps me build my future. thanks to education i have been able to not only learn many important and interesting things, i have also learned about myself and figured out what I want in life. while school and studying isn't always fun (let's be real, it's mostly not fun) it can be really beneficial to you, your sense of self and your future. so, you can think about it as a long-term ritual.

if you don't study (anymore) you can still apply this to other aspects of your life. for example, if you're looking for work like me, you can think of applying for jobs as a prosperity ritual, same thing with going to work. you could also see reading a book or doing research the same way.

other things that you could see as rituals

hanging out with friends - a ritual that maintains friendship, brings happiness and support etc.

cleaning your room/house, doing laundry, taking out the trash etc. - a ritual to keep your life and home organised and clan

charging and cleaning your electronic devices - a ritual to keep them working and in good shape

doing groceries - a ritual to keep you going and/or help you stay healthy

binding - a ritual to make you feel more comfortable in your body and/or to help you pass

+ add your own!

Trying to plan some pagan and witch zine collections in relation to perspective/experiences on different subjects.

(ex: how our practices fuel or inform our environmental activism or outlook, spells on that subject, tips, etc)

I'll be doing all of these at some point, just wanted to gauge interest here :)
