Broke Witch Help

We all go through times where we don't have the greatest amount of money in our pockets, especially with the economy these days no matter where you live in the world.

You don't need to buy things to be a legitimate witch, and here are a few things that can help you figure out how to get things you may need for your craft if you don't have a lot of money.

Grimoire/BoS Alternatives

Your grimoire and/or Book of Shadows doesn't have to be fancy at all! You can always get the most basic notebooks and use these as ways to write down your personal experiences, things you've learned and spells. Even this isn't for everyone.

The notes app on your phone can totally be your magical notebook, but if you want a specific app you can always start a secret tumblr page just for yourself or even get an app like Penzu where you can get one free online journal for free!

There are of course other apps that you can use, but the important thing is that you can freely write what you want! I just started a dream journal on Penzu myself and it's been really helpful!

Herbology

People don't realise just how easy it is to go outside and pick things up sometimes. Woods are everywhere and as long as you have a good education on what it is you're picking up then you can totally pick up plants and leaves in your local woodland. I would usually link to a source about the topic at hand, but unfortunately I think this is one everyone will need to research about their own area as different plants grow in different places.

Crystals/Stones

In all honesty the first stones I worked with were rocks I picked up off the ground, I felt their energy and worked with them how they told me they worked better. If you aren't someone is able to read energy this way, you can definitely still use rocks you've picked up from the ground. Whilst stones like amethyst and quartz have good qualities and look pretty, stones from the ground can still be pretty powerful. They're just as natural, and just as part of natures way as the ones we have attributed certain abilities to.

Knowledge and Fact Checking

As I'm sure everyone on this website is aware, the internet isn't the best place for gaining knowledge and fact checking is always best before making a decision on whether information is truthful or not. The truth is, books about witch craft and paganism are just the same anyway. Unless there are many sources saying the same thing, it's important to question and fact check everything you read. Whilst books can be an integral part of the craft for some people, they aren't necessarily the most important thing.

Anything we find in books we can find on the internet, and all media needs to be questioned. This part of my post is mainly a part to say, don't feel bad for not having a library of books on the craft. There are many ways to learn.

If there are any other things you may need help with please do let me know. If you have any extra insight, please also add to this.

Here’s some 1970’s occult books my Dad gave me a while back. This stuff is gold!

my favorite books about reincarnation and past lives. after reading these, i no longer just believe in the possibility of reincarnation, i feel a deep sense of knowing it to be true. we can't yet explain it with science, but just because we haven't been able to explain it yet, doesn't mean we never will.

if we open our hearts and minds to the idea of past lives, we can unlock their potential healing power and a path towards spiritual transformation.

When stress & the world become ons so overwhelming… go with the flow… Tao te Ching teaches how to develop personal power through living in alignment with the Tao, or ‘going with the flow’, being in harmony with Nature…

I listed to this and I didn’t understand much but go with the flow stayed with me, and even if I didn’t get, I internalized that… then imagine reading it again!

Love to explore new reading genres! Have you read this? 👀❤️ ❤️

More about this and my other published books:

[raining-tulips]

I have recently started reading "The Spell of the Sensuous" by David Abram and 16 pages in I have highlighted almost everything. He speaks so highly, so beautifully, of the earth, of magic, and indigenous cultures...and I've begun to see little pricks of light I often associate with spirits flashing in my vision as I read.

I hope the book continues on this way. I feel like there is a wealth of Knowledge within it.

A day on which I reflect on my shortcomings as a parent.

Hello, dear reader. Today was a difficult day. I wish I could say that every day is a good day. I know that, when most people ask how I am doing, they don't want to know how I'm actually feeling.

I can say it was a productive day, even if it wasn't an enjoyable experience. I started on my schoolwork for English Composition 1, a few days ahead of schedule. My key to success, other than diligence, has been doing things ahead of time. The floors were picked up and swept, the clothes folded, and I patched my jumper and a unicorn-puke-colored dolphin that my daughter received on her last vacation with her papa. I also finished up the next weekly spread for my bullet journal.

The negative side of the day is on behalf of the children, unfortunately. I know that, when I had the kiddos, I signed up for whatever difficulties will arise. This isn't another parent griping session, I promise. My kids are both sweet, imaginative souls. Today just wasn't their day. I found myself hollering a lot more than I would like. I'm not so much upset at them as much as I am upset with myself for how I handled it all. The whole thing set me off for the rest of the evening until I just ended up crying silently in my chair. I choose how I react to things in my daily life. I know that an adult must respond, not react, but I ended up reacting anyway.

There is a book at church about the beautiful mess of childhood and parenting, and I may borrow it. All the books I've ever picked up there have been fantastic. There was one about personal growth, and how our biggest changes happen in the darkness. It's called, Learning to Walk in the Dark, by Barbara Brown Taylor. There is an LGBTQIA+ devotional that is beautifully written. I picked it up on Pride Sunday, along with a book called Why Did Jesus, Moses, the Buddha, and Mohammed Walk into a Bar? by Brian D McLaren. I haven't gotten that far into the last one, but it has been rather lovely so far.

I hope you'll pardon me. I don't much like talking about religion as it is a sensitive subject. Honestly, talking about it in the last paragraph makes me feel like some cringy Bible-thumper, even if I know that isn't the case. Please know that, no matter your religion-or absence of religion- my page will always be a safe place for you, reader.

As always, thank you for reading. I hope your evening is a beautiful one!

Love,

Natay
