Cyberwitchery 101: How to Build a Temple out of Spotify and Regret

How do Spotify shrines work? What’s the principle behind Pinterest altars? Can you stretch your magical practice over a goddamn video game? (Short answer: yes.)

It doesn’t matter what you believe in — Asgard, Orun, rebuilding Shaolin, or a first-class return ticket to Eden. The masses aren't going to sign up for your utopian ideas anyway. Witches riot. That’s what they do. 🔥

The Birth of a Cybercult

Grab a bit of trickery, sprinkle in some time, and you can spawn a cult of Daozi (the Chinese god of crazy harmony) based on Twin Peaks memes. Or you can build an Ishtar shrine... on OnlyFans. (Your mileage may vary.)

There’s this thing — a symbolic field. You snag something from it — a fap-worthy or terrifying or just emotionally-charged image. It could be a song, a poster, a damn book. It strikes you. It owns you. You stuff it into your personal pantheon. Boom — you’re a fan of Avril Lavigne now. (nevemind.)

From Worship to Priesthood

Eventually, it’s not enough. The "deity" calls you to priesthood. (No, actually, it’s your own inflated mental fragment pulling you into that mess.)

Take it from someone who’s initiated in Ifá: Without inner resources, no spirit calls you anywhere.

You build a shrine: your rack of albums, your Pokémon Genji poster wall, or that classic Catholic flex — Sacred Heart of Jesus watching you stay a virgin till marriage.

You start preaching: "New Testament of Clíodhna", "Apocalypse of Nergal", "Psalms of Avril"... whatever trips your trigger. If you can admit it’s all your own need for meaning — congratulations, you have critical thinking skills.

Going Viral (and Suicidal)

And then... You go viral. Likes. Reposts. Outrage: “Where’s Jesus’ Heart, why are there dildos?” The hurricane begins. Your inner narcissist is delighted. Your wounded radical is healing. The Divine Blessing™ descends.

You might even get serious about your cult:

Like Wiccans grinding through the Wheel of the Year before calling themselves witches.

Folk witches posting cryptic graveyard shots with a bottle of cognac and bleach-blonde hair.

Occultists writing grimoires and masturbating intellectually over "traditional craft." (All equally valid coping mechanisms.)

Eventually, entropy wins. You get enough fans and haters. You implode under the weight of your own ego. You feel like dying for your "god."

(But hey, at least Pinterest makes it easy to hide your shame.)

How to Dismantle Your Cybercult

Pinterest board? Set it to private.

Spotify playlist? Archive it.

Tumblr blog? Nuke it from orbit.

Sims 4 Loki family? Delete them from your library, break your pact with the northen trickster.

Physical altars? Way harder. You have to atomize every artifact, spread them like meaningless trinkets across your home.

Pro-tip: Always have a quick exit strategy. It's all performance art in the end, darling. 🎭

Final Blessing

Cyberwitchcraft in a post-consumerist world is a treasure. It saves you (and your friends) from doing dumb stuff in public. It turns your random fandoms into sacred rites. It sanctifies your trash with the golden spit of the plebs.

Drink your Tie Guan Yin, darling. The goddess who hears the world's screams is busy tonight — somewhere, another rad-trad is having a meltdown. 🌚

Unearth and equip the gems 💎 of your mythos. Your story is your greatest power and your greatest weakness. Wield it wisely with personal mythology.

Two of the core beliefs of Holy Witchery is that witchery is a spirituality of connection and it is all based in relationship. To that end the way we honor, regard and interact with all things is through the lens of animism. All things in the world are relatable, available for interaction, relationship and an energetic dance that deepens and expands our capacity for experiencing a rich, meaningful and magical life.

De-Mythologizing Ourselves and Others

[willowdarcyartist]

Little #intuitivepainting in #sepia #watercolor. I think I will call it "Mother Moon Sings to Grandmother Time". I bought this waterbrush and some hot press watercolor paper today that was on clearance at Artist and Craftsman supply in SE Portland. I had all these errands and chores to do today and art supply shopping was one of them. It was like a nice little artist date fit in between all the annoying stuff I had to take care of around it. #mythicalart #myth #mystical #personalmythology #art #surreal #dreamart

I spend countless hours on design and layout in Photoshop and InDesign. Making a proportional sunray layout like this was not intuitive for me but it basically comes down to making a triangle, transforming, and pulling that little circle in the middle of the transform tool down to one of the triangle points and rotating from there. Especially helps if you lay down a 16 point shape before hand to measure against.

It can be tedious but I am genuinely trying to create the coolest book I've ever seen which is a tall order! It's worth it though cause I think the results are incredible.

A moment of deep gratitude captured by Harry Johansson, the creator of EcoPaper. This was several years back when I was leading a play shop on re-visioning your personal myth. Someone had just shared what they had envisioned as we sat around the sacred fire. What is your dream for your life? Let’s create a story that supports that and break the scripts that may be keeping you trapped or playing small! #heartopen #gratitude #appreciation #personalmythology #awakenyoursoul #sacredfire (at Live Oak Campground) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwWUY1lFS04/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=3r9cziwiv8im

What do you think about all the time? What are the things you tell yourself over and over again? Really pay attention. It's the words we say to ourselves repetitively that weave the constant magic we are embodying. 

This is why being acutely conscious of what we say to ourselves, because what we say to ourselves is the expression of our deepest beliefs. Are they limiting? Are they rooted in scarcity? Fear? Expansion? Faith? Hope? 

Know yourself and uncover what is driving the foundation of your manifestation.

1, 8, and 23!

1. Tell us about your current project(s)  – what’s it about, how’s progress, what do you love most about it?

Duelism is about people who sword fight professionally and are celebrities for it!  The story follows Ken, an aspiring duelist, and his best friend Ryo! Pretending I don’t see the second question!  What I love most is the relationship between Ken and Ryo.  Well, I hope it’s as layered as I think it is.

23. What’s the story idea you’ve had in your head for the longest?

Virtuous Heart..........*takes drag of cigarette*........I haven’t heard that name in years

I first started to develop virtuous heart around age 15-16 and i’m now 22 soooooooo.....it has gone through a game of telephone with my own selves and idk exactly what happens but there’s a girl who defies fate <3 also found family stuff <3 n it’s like a battle shounen if it were written for girls <3

Creative Play and the Arts Knowing the archetypal personality that governs one’s Creative Play Nature (CPN) and how best to access is a secret to a happy and productive life. How we create is how we find our joy and best relieve stress. The CPN is different from Career Nature. Ideally one learns both of these and then it is possible to keep them in harmony. When one mistakes these then one can have a frustrating time with both their creative endeavors and their financial ones. When unknown successes in these fields are often random. #archetypal #archetypalpsychology #creativity #psyche #play #mindfulness #healingart #magicalart #personalmythology #myth #archetypalart #visualmeditation #archetype #astrology #transformation #tarot #astrologersofinstagram #cosmic #vedic #advanced #unconscious #sun #moon #mars #mercury #jupiter #venus #saturn #rahu #ketu https://www.instagram.com/p/BqVCUmeFrjb/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1h3acrrrt1pc2
