Love this quote from Gabrielle Bernstein’s book “Super Attractor” ✨✨✨🩷✨✨✨

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

[thelordofsirius]

“The problem of human existence is the forgetfulness of the Divine essence of the Self and the identification with the body as the Self. Through concern with the body and its needs and desires, the true Self becomes identified with worldly concerns and the fulfillment of desires of the body, mind and senses. This is the development of the ego and individual soul. This identification with the desires of the body 1s what leads the soul to further ignorance of its true Self. It is the pursuit of desires that keeps the mind occupied with worldly thoughts such as the fear of disease and death of the body, the pursuit of pleasure and happiness, and the eradication of things which cause displeasure. Gnosticism, Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism and Ancient Egyptian Religion all emphasize the need to practice detachment and dispassion toward the body. These disciplines relieve the pressure of the lower desires, which impel a person to run after the illusions of life. These traditions hold that only through detachment is it possible to calm the mind enough for it to perceive the transcendental reality.”

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.

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!

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.
