#you know I used to mostly blog about witchcraft and paganism

[afniel]

AH I REMEMBERED WHAT I WAS GONNA SAY EARLIER but it's kind of stupid, lmao.

So my partner is getting into brewing beer and I got them a Tilt, which is a Bluetooth hydrometer. It measures specific gravity and temperature, which are things you want to know so that you don't kill your yeast or whatever. Except the sensor's Bluetooth range is super short, and it basically runs via a phone app, and the temperature we're logging currently is the crawlspace, accessible via the staircase closet. So they were like, wait, what do we do about this, because I can't leave my phone in the closet, that's my alarm clock.

In a kind of ridiculous turn of life imitating art, I was like, hold up, I got just the thing right at my desk. Bam. Old phone. We just needed to scrounge up a charger because the battery is so dead that after charging just enough to power on it claimed it was at 53% (to be fair to it, there is a very real chance that it's correct, and it just holds no charge at this point so the capacity is just THAT low) and now it lives in the closet logging sensor data.

And I was like, you know...didn't I just solve a major story detail with a much larger version of this...yeah, no, this is all vaguely familiar somehow, power supply issues and all. Kind of cool that the concept works though. Kind of weird that it came up at all?

We are not gonna talk about the fact that I still have at least two more ancient-ass phones in a drawer where that came from because look, man, sometimes you just need a camera/mic/mini computer with Bluetooth and wifi that fits in a pocket, and people just get rid of these things, but not me. I actually could build a shitty security system out of them if I was reaaaally inclined. I mean. I'm not. But it's technically possible.

For real though, If I pick up any stupid maker projects I still high-key am thinking about slapping Bluetooth into a necomimi headset and running that through an Arduino and learning to code just enough to let me skip songs/change the volume on Spotify with my brain, because it's entirely doable, and I mean yeah I could do that on my phone remotely too, but that's not funny, now, is it. I'm just not sure it's $350+ of parts funny. Kind of a big investment just to prove the point that haha look I am the extremely ADHD type of lazy where I would rather solve a problem via the most convoluted and complicated Rube-Goldberg type ass machine way possible rather than just perform a single simple action.

YEAH I'VE BEEN THIS SCATTERED ALL DAY AND I REALLY SHOULD GO TO BED SHOULDN'T I. I started playing Satisfactory. Mistakes were made. I'm going to dream about conveyor belts again and I did it to myself...

All about me!

I just feel like it’s time to put a little post about me!

My name is Ashlyn and I’m from New England America, my pronouns are She/Her ~ Age is 22 - I am bisexual ~ Neurodivergent

I’m a pagan and a witch based upon my ancestry, Hellenic polytheism and Norse/Germanic paganism and witchcraft.

I’m mostly started out as a tarot reader then became a witch and a pagan, I practice mostly folk magic and Ancestral Magic. Right now trying to find a traditional magic practice. I do a lot of knot magic and needle work presently.

My guardian animal: I don’t know if that’s the correct term but Bears 🐻, I always had dreams/nightmares about bears since I was little and when I did a tarot reading on what my familiar spirit is the bear came up.

Why I started this blog?

I guess the main reasons to keep a digital record of my experiences, thoughts, lessons, etc. to share my experiences so I thought maybe it can help people find what they are looking for and learn about it. Also a chance for me to learn about other people’s perspectives and ideas. I’m always open to learn more and share more information the best I can.

Also I like to swear in my blogs because I like to, I don’t do it excessively but it’s prevalent if you aren’t comfortable with it.

My hobbies!

I read a lot. Not just one subject, Fantasy, Fiction, Historical fiction, Non-Fiction, and Classics. I might post some book reviews and recommendations on this blog. My favorite book is LOTR it’s my cozy and feel good book, Tolkien also had a lot of pagan inspiration for his stories.

I also write! Short stories to writing long stories about whatever comes to mind. I write fantasy and historical fiction, but also horror and thriller. At times I write poetry. Sometimes when I’m bored use my tarot for a creative writing project.

I like to do crafts. Especially when it comes to paganism and witchcraft. I sew and embroidered poppets, sigils, or symbols. I wouldn’t say I’m neat with a thread and needle but I get the job done.

Video Games I love Halo, Skyrim, Fallout, AC Valhalla and Odyssey, Animal Crossing, Red Dead Redemption.

Hiking and Foraging in nature

Witchcraft and Tarot cards (obviously)

My Likes!

Season: Autumn

Holiday: Yule/Saturnalia

Music: Anything that sounds good to me: Right now Opera is my most listen to. From Opera to Oldies to Folk music to Heavy Metal to Pop songs. R&B is a guilty pleasure of mine and a couple of rappers and hiphop artists. So again I kinda like everything.

Animals: I love cats I have three of my own, Rabbits, Squirrels, Deer, Horses, Bears, Ravens. I like any animals but those I wanna say are my top ones 😂

Insects: don’t necessarily like them but spiders and moths are pretty neat, but Honeybees or bees in general are my favorite they’re quite special to me. Hopefully one day I start beekeeping.

TV Shows: Penny Dreadful was amazing if you like dark horror, witchcraft, in a Victorian setting that incorporates a lot of classic horror stories like Frankenstein and Dracula highly recommended it with Eva Green and Helen McCoy. I don’t have a favorite movies or tv shows definitely but Legion, LOTR, Immortals, Harry Potter movies, the show Vikings. Are great and anything like it just 🤌

ASMR/Meditation ambiences

Smell of burning wood

Tarot cards and reading and finding anything that I can do with them that is new

[badlifedecisionshotline]

☆-《HI Intro-post!》-☆

The crossroad board!! Still work in progress! Feel free to suggest topics and other such things for me to reasurch <3 My inbox/asks are always open

《Im Evesul -collective name (now for just one alter) = (a DID system) and this is our main blog regarding religion and witchcraft!》

Pronouns are fluid: but i mostly feel Male, so feel free to assume as such

I have been a witch for 2 years! So far i have worshipped: Loki, Hecate, Satan, Apollon and now Evine & Bendis [lesser known new god with Dacian origin + one with barely any information about (I'll provide information on him eventualy on my blog!)]

I love nature deeply, and im always cautious that i rispect the spirits! Sometimes just jumping around like im having an explosion of energy or just quietly walk around, exploring in silence. Its like an on and off switch, no in-betweens XD

My main is generaly for anything and everything i find cool, support (sometimes politics, sometimes art, people, lgbtq things)- this one will focus on witchcraft and paganism (or at least try to XD)

Speaking of which, I am a queer and lgbtqia+ person myself. So homophobes, transphobes aren't welcome. I also have a friend who believes was a spirit that's half animalistic in a past life (or multiple) and i support every kind of therianthropy there is. (Becouse the term is quite literally turning into an umbrella term recently)

I also support: age/pet regressors, POC people, xenogender, neopronouns, Women in general due to mysoginy and any opressed group

The block button is a good friend of mine, so if you hate any criteria mentioned or something else, I'll add in the future on this list, i will block you

《On a similar note but partially kindly- Wicca isn't fully welcome》

• Yes, i know your community and religion can change and be different over time. This is why my opinion might change. I dont have a problem with it due to its age, but due to the fact that whilst reasurching , i *felt* my Diety get physically repulsed at the mention. Which is enough for me not to feel comfortable around the topic.

—Feel free to tell me sources in comments or reblogs or your own experience, good and bad. And know i won't try to invalidate them, im open to learning about it first, a lot, before my opinion can become rigid.

If you're a person uncapable of not acting like a toddler and reblog against it, and every other sentence starts with talking shit about it— you're blocked. I dont need to try reason with a child with bad manners that mommy never thought them.

《Same for Wiccans who dont want to admit its problematic origins (ehem... Gardener was buddies with a famous Allister.. And no, i didn't mean from Hazbin hotel)》

~Much love, Ev <3

My oath to myself -wrote when sleepy ok? Keep that in mind (topic: forgotten gods)

Witchcraft update!

Kinda long so under the cut

I've been mostly focusing on reblogging political stuff to this blog but I still want to share my journey with my craft. Loki has reached out, very loudly. In a way, this has been a long time coming. We have a very long history together, rocky as it's been:

He and Aphrodite were the first Gods I reached out to. I had developed an interest in Loki between my obsession with viking vampire Eric Northman and Marvel, which led me to the actual Norse mythology. I also made it clear I knew he was different from his Marvel counterpart, just to assure him I was taking this seriously. However, after several loud hints (slipping and falling flat on my ass in the rain just before work, breaking a plate on my shift, even losing half of a cookie to my tea the night I contacted him) I got the feeling he didn't want me. I was sad at first, but respected his wish and moved on to other Gods.

Then I got my tubes tied. I came out as trans. I was hospitalized and finally put on medication after years of being afraid of it. Then, I got my name changed just two months before my top surgery. I was on my way home from my court hearing, and I thought of Loki. "Love Again" by Dua Lipa came on instantly. That was what made me realize he didn't reject me because we weren't meant to work together, but because I wasn't myself yet. Things didn't progress between us then, but still, I knew he was there.

More things changed. I got into a relationship, and opened myself to polyamory. Moved to MD to be with my now spouse. Started a soul-bearing memoir about suicidal ideation. And, finally, got into pop culture paganism, reaching out to my beloved goblin King. That was when I really started to feel like I was on the right path.

It was around this time last year that Loki finally announced himself, for real. I started having dreams about him, and guess what? It was the Marvel version I saw. A couple of my pagan friends who work with Loki say he appears to them in that form too. He was basically telling me not only was I on the right path, but I was being led back to the place I started, with him, except this time without the shame around pop culture deities. He knew I needed my goblin first, because that was the step I needed to take to unshackle myself from giving a fuck what others think. That doesn't mean Loki LIKES Marak, in fact they fucking hate each other, but they both do their best to stay civil.

Loki literally does not give a fuck which way I envision him, or if I engage with him via Marvel content or mythological content. He knows I love him either way, because basically everyone I've ever fallen in love with has had a streak of Lokean chaos. Including the goblin.

His presence started to get really loud. Here are a few signs he sent:

1. A spider moved into a geode we have in our living room right as we started talking again. Felt like I was living in a Ghibli film.

2. A dream where we were having sex while "Good Luck, Babe" by Chappell Roan played in the background. GOOD LUCK, BABE. "You're nothing more than his (the goblin king's) wife." Subtle as an eight-legged horse.

3. My spouse's missing Del Toro tarot deck showed up, after missing for MONTHS, right around the time I was looking for a way to talk to Loki properly. My spouse hadn't had much luck with it because the guidebook was obtuse as all hell, and they actually had to use a cheat sheet from another deck to supplement. No wonder Loki wanted me to use it instead.

4. Found a rune set in my favorite knickknack shop when I'd never seen one there before.

5. So I've been trying to lucid dream for like, over a year, to see my goblin. Loki not once, but twice sabotaged these efforts by sliding into my DMs instead. First time in his natural redhead state, the second time as the Marvel version. He knows I'll have him both ways.

TL;DR Loki said "no, no, no, come back when you're the unapologetic little freak I know you're meant to be. There you are! Now pay attention to me :3"

[shouldhavestayedawayfromhere]

Since some people started following me recently after reading my take on US politics, I just wanna make sure you know what my blog is about.

I'm a pagan, I worship demons, I do witchcraft. My blog is safe for neurodivergent and queer people of all kinds, people with mental illness, systems, including endos, radqueer community, non-/alterhumans, people of any religion and other marginalized groups. My blog focuses on pagan/occult themes. I don't talk much about politics unless I feel the need to, but I have a clear stance. Nazis aren't welcome on my blog and will be blocked.

If you're here to hang out, you're more than welcome to! My DMs are open, I love to chat. Don't be shy, I don't bite (mostly). :)

[jasper-tarot-reader]

your preferred name, nickname, or initials: GreenIvyDusk (my blog name)

your pronouns: she/her

your question: I wanna ask the spirits for some help in my retrospectitve work (some know this as shadow work but it is a more broader term for self-reflection) regarding my pagan/witchy path. Just a general advice card is what I need recently.

background information around your question: I wanna do deity work/getting into pagan faiths but I am not really sure where to start, where to go, as I do not accept any level of racism and genderphobia in my craft/fait being LGBTQAI+ myself too. I believe people are equal, and should be such as. How can I start as a yte person so I will not tap into cultural approrpiation? It gives me a lot of anxiety on how to trust resources and find trustworthy sources for learning... I wanna avoid creepy red flags in summary. <3

Hello GreenIvyDusk! As a fellow queer white person who's unfortunately stumbled ass-first into appropriation without realizing it, I understand the stress of trying to get started while not being a super huge dick. Luckily, before we even get started with the reading, I have a few recommendations for you:

on @jasper-pagan-witch, I have a beginner tag, an appropriation tag, and a discernment tag that you can dig through at your leisure

another good resource is @breelandwalker's Advice For Beginner Witches along with her book Grovedaughter Witchery (to date, that is still one of my favorite witchcraft books ever) - and if you're podcast-inclined, this directory of her podcast episodes for beginner witches may also be helpful

if you want to avoid New Age bullshit specifically, check out @creature-wizard's pinned post and resources page

While these resources are mostly witchy instead of religious, there are some bits that apply to deity work and worship, and they build a good base for you that you can then apply to other things.

The key, I have found, is understanding that you will mess up. That's guaranteed. The key is to react well when you realize you messed up. There are always going to be people who hate you for one reason or another, but as long as you make amends (when necessary) and drop the appropriative stuff instead of doubling down on it, most people will give you a break. Don't beat yourself up, simply do better.

(As for avoiding things that have appropriative elements...gods, that is so fucking difficult, as even the best resources have parts that make my eye twitch. Sometimes you just have to accept that you have wasted money and time on something that simply can't be stripped of the parts that make you go yikes, but other times, you can simply ignore the appropriative or suspicious elements.)

(Please note: all of the above was written before the cards were drawn.)

Now, onto the reading! Since you didn't specify the particular spirits you wanted me to ask, I have selected the In-Between Tarot by Janine Worthington and Franco Rivolli, which belongs to Cernunnos. My patron Athena has also now called dibs on the Dungeons and Dragons Tarot by Adam Lee and Fred Gissubel, so we'll be using that too. Their cards for you are the 10-Ace of Swords and the 3 of Intelligence.

Let's start with Cernunnos's advice. This card shows the wife of a now-dead Roman captain being given the news that he was killed in battle. She is now released from the stress of having to wait for news about his fate, despite the fact that his death is hard and her heart is broken. This is the end of the road, where something is over after a long period of stress and pain, but the beginning of something new. The choice is to stand still or move on - onto the next road, into the ditch and underbrush, into the woods or desert or tundra or city, wherever you choose to go next.

Athena's message is similarly Air-aligned. This card, depicting a weeping dryad who is seeking aid from a party of adventurers to save her forest after it was destroyed by orcs, is about finding a way to heal and learn from anxiety and emotional pain. As understandable as your worries are, there is no need to stress yourself to death over them. In time, you will learn ways to figure these things out yourself and how to fix what's wrong. But in the meantime, simply find what works for you to help you. Be respectful, continue learning, and heal your heart.

...Huh, I didn't expect two broken heart references here. Anyway, regardless of where your path - magical, religious, or a blend of both - carves itself, never lose the fact that you are always learning.

I wish you the best going forward! If you feel so inclined, please feel free to send feedback in my ask box, leave feedback in a reblog of this reading, and/or reblog my reading guidelines!

[sanguine-inkwell]

I feel like I've neglected the blog again, so! Mod Smoke here again. Time for an update on the sanguinarian shenanigans.

I've added a few books to my reading list, and the one on my bedside table is Energy Magick of the Vampyre by Don Webb. I tend to keep my own council and use several grains of salt when it comes to witchcraft, especially when people start spelling magic with a k, but I can definitely see how this could scratch some of the itch. For better or for worse, there's something predatory and preening about the nature of the vampire, and the more educated you are about yourself and your options the easier it is to take your urges out for a little run in healthy ways.

I'm on the fence about auras, energy, and all of that, but I'm a theatre kid at heart. The power of presence and presentation, the intersection of stage magic and religious ritual, is absolutely a real tool. Mod Glass is more straightforward about it- she definitely believes, and to my eternal bafflement she manages to feed on trees and flowing water. I can definitely believe in that, and the way she's a little less primal after sitting in a park for an hour. Clearly something is being achieved there, so it's possible- I'm just tragically doomed to my own version of cynicism, and thus the awkward anxiety of trying to ask the butcher for blood.

(I still haven't.)

I've got my coconut water, my pomegranate juice, my aesthetic and my interests. It's enough for now. I don't know if I'm flourishing, but I'm nearer that than not, so I'll take what I've got.

I think in a lot of ways it's easier to separate what you "should" want from what you do want. Especially when you're a teenager, you want the validation of community- community for its own sake, to some extent, but also a mirror to tell you you're real.

I fell into that when I found the otherkin community, pagans, all of it- if I let myself keep on with that, I'd still be content with the idea that dragons are supposed to crave eating rocks or hoarding shiny things. That's not what I need, or even what I really want. I want community, and I'm not going to find it by conforming to any standards, or I quite simply wouldn't be me. I try to hold onto "build it and they will come", for better or for worse, but I do go looking in my own way.

You don't net as much weird, queer, and othered community in the Bible Belt as you might expect unfortunately. It's a work in progress.

Back on the more direct topic though, I'm having fun snatching the other mods for deep philosophical discussions over drinks. I think it named itself Mod Citrine...? It's not on here often, mostly because it's even less inclined to the kind of theatrics I get up to. No roses and candles and gothic spires for that one. We feed on different things, I think, when it comes to blood- and that's why I can't entirely write off the possibility of some strange unquantifiable energy being involved. It's incredibly, deeply intimate for me, and for a moment I could almost convince myself I do have powers beyond doing mostly even eyeliner wings. It's definitely not the same kind of power or even hedonistic high that comes from sex, but I can't define it to save my life except through poetry.

For Citrine... it prefers not to call itself a vampire except by the strictest definition. If pressed, it'll say alterhuman or otherkin, but mostly for someone else's benefit so they can slap a label on and move on. It's not a vampire with all the bells and whistles the way myself, Glass, and Key are, with the gothic yearning and nocturnal tendencies and the fifteen different types of black lipstick on top of the hunger for blood. It calls itself an object spirit, a thing that had enough sentiment attached to it to get reincarnated, with some urges left over. Objects aren't animals, aren't primal the way animals are- but the desires and dreams attached to them are human, in a way, as much as they're not, divorced from the breadth of human emotion and distilled into inhuman too-clean drives, the way a storm or a mountain has drives.

Even so, it has a relationship with blood, just like I have a relationship with blood, and that interests me. I come at it from the perspective of a vampire, the hunger of the human predator that seeks to thrive, and then beyond thriving seeks their own pleasure. Citrine comes at it from the perspective of a sword, skill and fulfilled purpose and occasionally even as an offering. Not a biological hunger, not in the same way, but a hunger of purpose. Maybe ideology or identity. It makes some sense. As a vampire, I have to feed. The community itself is proof enough that the definition of feeding is varied. A sword would want blood, and specifically blood, because that's what it's built for and meant to do.

Needless to say, next time I make my substitute I'm offering some and seeing what it thinks. Partially for science. Partially because I'm pretty sure it'll work and I want to see the look on Citrine's face. Join me in pretentious vampire hell, I drink pomegranate juice out of wine glasses and it's very very fun.

That said, dinner's almost done, so I'll leave off here. Have a good night!

[eclectic-misfit]

✉️ ; welcome!

you can call me azriel or solis :). this is a religious blog and i'll talk mostly about paganism and witchcraft.

ABOUT MY PRACTICE

☆ — i'm an eclectic pagan & an omnist, though my practice revolves around the few religions/paths i feel most drawn to.

★ — atm i'm focusing mostly on hellenic polytheism, a bit on norse paganism; i'm planning to get into kemetic paganism as well.

☆ — i practice witchcraft from time to time, but it's not something i use frequently. i still have a lot to learn and my path is constantly evolving!

ABOUT ME

★ i'm fluent in italian and english; i've always wanted to study languages and i'm currently learning spanish, dutch and mandarin chinese.

☆ i'm part of the LGBTQIA+ community — i'm non-binary (boyflux) and achillean aroacespec.

★ i'm neurodivergent (w/ multiple mental health conditions) and i struggle a lot with social interactions and being active on social media. still, i'll try my best to interact with others <3.

☆ i'm also chronically ill and this deeply impacts my energy levels, so i do apologize if it takes me a while to respond.

DNI

!!! DO NOT FOLLOW & DO NOT INTERACT IF:

• you fit basic DNI criteria, you are a proshipper/terf/zionist;

• you don't respect neopronouns xenopronouns/xenogenders;

• you disrespect others' religions/you disrespect any entities;

• you appropriate cultural/closed practices you're not allowed to engage in.

i block freely, though not often; sometimes it's not about serious things but it can happen if i feel uncomfortable.

— guide to tags

i'd love to meet and get to know more pagan and/or witchy people, so do not be afraid to dm me or say something in my inbox ♥︎

[afniel]

I realized I don't have a pinned post, so...here is a pinned post, I guess?

Hi, I'm Nevi, though I won't be mad if you forget and just call me Afniel. I've also gone by Moppy since 1998 and that's still how I sign my art.

I'm an ace+arospec but also pan nonbinary trans man, which is only the short version of it because gender and attraction are a complicated fuck like that. He/him or they/them are both legit.

I'm in my 40s, so if that's something you don't want to interact with, I respect that and won't be mad if you block me. This is generally a safe-for-life blog now, though I do swear a lot. It wasn't always SFW/SFL so beware if you scroll back in the archives too far. I've changed a lot since starting it.

I don't have a DNI, and I don't usually notice others' DNIs. If you don't want to interact, don't. If I don't, I won't. Very simple.

I'm disabled and have chronic pain and fatigue, mostly from fibromyalgia.

I've also got the ADHDtism so don't be surprised if I'm overly literal, miss the point, or if I'm extremely fucking funny at words (evidently this is a real side effect, lmao).

I've got some kind of Traumatic Dissociative Thing and I'm definitely a system of some type (I don't want it diagnosed on paper for reasons and I've got it pretty well managed). I'm the only one of me who currently blogs but that might change at some point.

Less important stuff under the cut!

On syscourse: I was not born onto this earth for such a brief and brilliant time to waste it telling people that I know what goes on in their head better than they do, and I don't think anybody else was, either. Endogenic, traumagenic, whatevergenic, I just believe people when they tell me how they are.

People always want some kind of stance on pro/anti stuff also so here's mine: the relationships between fiction, reality, censorship, freedom, responsibility, and harm are far too complex to reduce to two binary sides and I don't stand with either side.

I'm pagan but I've gotten so lazy about it. I actually used to blog mostly about that and witchcraft. True story. It's been a while though and I mostly don't now.

I draw and the art mostly goes on @moppy-art.

Gatekeepers are such a lame concept in general. If you consider yourself one, consider reconsidering, because that's a shit hobby to build a personality around.

I write and that goes here under #Nevi Writes, and on AO3 as Afniel.

I'm a nonhuman weirdo and that goes on @actias-android.

I'm working (slowly) on a whole entire classic Mega Man fangame from the ground up starring Roll, and that goes on @megaman-r.

Vidya james meems go on @moon-lord-big-naturals.

The Mega Man hyperfixation hellscape blog is @being-so-normal-about-reploids.

I think that's it? I'll add/update as needed.

[bison-appreciation-club]

hi hi! you said in your intro post that you're celtic pagan, and sadly i don't know what that is ;( could you explain it to me plz?? i absolutely adore witchy aesthetic and would rly appreciate it if you could tell me what you know, you seem smart :3

sending nuzzles!!

hi, anon! thanks for the ask.

as with all religious beliefs, celtic paganism will mean different things to different people, so I can only share my experiences.

firstly, paganism is defined as a religion other than one of the world religions (think Christianity, Hinduism, Islam, Judaism, Buddhism), specifically a 'pre-christian' religion. this basically means is that its a religion that was replaced by christianity. think of the ancient greek, roman and norse pantheons.

when I say celtic paganism, I mean celtic neopaganism. famous examples of celtic neopagans include the wicca. I'm not wicca, however. (the celts refer to gaelic speaking peoples. think druids)

lots of celtic pagans try to replicate celtic festivs like imbolc and samhain. the main touch points of celtic belief and worship stem from the acknowledgement of the power of nature. there's a lot of gods and goddesses and different customs to observe. (Wikipedia link about celtic neopaganism below)

personally, I don't follow any modern celtic religious practises, mostly because they're not historically accurate. I'm a celtic reconstructionist, meaning that I try to replicate genuine celtic worship. i can't speak gaelic, although my family have lived in Scotland and Ireland for generations, and while I'm attempting to learn more about my culture and heritage, I'm always cautious of the cultural appropriation present in most forms of celtic neopaganism.

most celtic pagans have lots of festivals. I don't go to festivals, as I prefer to worship privately. most of the time I don't actively worship at all. it's just nice to have something to believe in and fall back on. I only converted a couple of months ago, so I'm hardly an expert. I know there will be lots of excellent celtic paganism blogs on tumblr if you want to learn more, but I'm yet to discover them :(

i love the witchy aesthetic too. I used to be a witch myself, but I don't practise it as much as I used to :( I just don't really have the motivation any more. I have a naturecore/slightly witchy aesthetic blog where I'll post more about witchcraft and paganism, which I'll tag below

thanks for the ask, sundorwine! I hope this makes sense! (Sending nuzzles back :3)

i've only just found this blog (sorry) and i'm too tired to scroll all the way through it (sorry again). so what sort of things do you do? like tarots, gems, etc.

my family is christian but i don't buy it. i'm looking for some spiritual belief to see if any seem to vibe with me, if that makes sense. so i have some questions for you!

what exactly is witchcraft and what does it involve?

is this the same as paganism?

are there any parts of witchcraft you don't believe/ think is a hoax? for example, i believe in an afterlife but i don't believe in mediums. i believe that ghosts can communicate with everyone and everyone has the capability to communicate back!

these are all genuine questions and i'm sorry if they come across nosy or if i've said something wrong. i'm just terribly nosy.

oof ok so i just wanna preface this by saying that a) i'm a beginner and still figuring out what i believe in and b) witchcraft is very subjective so if you disagree with stuff i say that's completely fine and even encouraged. your practice is personal to you and you should create your own unique belief system!

what sort of things do i do? there are different paths of witchcraft – for example green witchcraft, hedge witchcraft, sea witchcraft etc – and i'm an eclectic witch, so i combine many different aspects, although i'm mostly a green witch and an elemental witch, working with nature, plants and herbs and using the four basic elements in my practice a lot. i also make sigils a lot and am learning to read tarot!

what exactly is witchcraft? soooo you know how i said it's subjective? yeah everyone's craft is different and everyone has different definitions, so the short answer to this question is i have no idea. especially since everyone has different ideas about how it works, too. for some people, it's theories about physics and dark matter and science that we just haven't discovered yet (i'm always wary of the people that use science to explain their beliefs since it's nearly always pseudoscience, but many say things like 'well what we consider science now would have been magic centuries ago' and that's fair). some people are animists, and believe that everything has a soul, and they can use this in their working while honouring nature spirits. there are people similar to animists except instead of everything having a soul, everything has an 'energy' that can be harnessed, which is one of the most popular beliefs. also, many believe that you use energy from living beings and use things like herbs and crystals to channel this. this last one is the one i believe in the most, with a dash of animism in that i believe that every living thing has a soul (it's more complex than that but yeah). but you are a witch if you are aiming to indirectly manipulate what happens to you using spells. that's vague ik but that's what we all have in common – manipulating the future

is this the same as paganism? nope! many pagans are witches and many witches are pagans, but there isn't a full overlap. paganism is the worship of nature-related or 'ancient' deities. animism, which i mentioned before, comes under paganism too

are there any parts of witchcraft you don't believe/ think is a hoax? im going to only half-answer this question, just because you should come up with your own beliefs and mine are unique to me, i guess. also i'm still figuring out what i do and don't believe. it's very good that you are already doing this, and try to just think 'do i believe this' every time you read anything about witchcraft, partly because that's a great way to form your own opinions and partly because the witchcraft community is fraught with pseudoscience. one thing to be careful of is 'new age' which is a belief system that has taken over a lot of modern witchcraft but is incredibly problematic for a number of reasons. @ pondering-the-kaiju has some great resources about this in their pinned.

lastly, if youre looking for beginner resources, @ breelandwalker is brilliant, and also my favourite youtubers who i HIGHLY recommend are chaotic witch aunt, the hearth witch, the green witch and the witch of wonderlust. seriously, if you're looking to start out, watching a few of their videos is one of the best ways.

yeah so those are your questions answered – if you have any more please ask and i'll answer to the best of my ability! don't worry about being nosy lmao i enjoyed answering this

especially if you're looking for a spiritual belief as an alternative to christianity, i'm happy to talk about my personal pagan worship and other pagan belief systems :)

I Deactivated My Facebook Page

Yep, I did it.  It was about time.  Ever since the birth of the algorithm, even though I had thousands of people on my friends list, I think three of them saw my posts (sarcasm, kind of).  True.  I had been reading about "shadow banning" on YouTube, Facebook, and a couple other platforms, and I wanted to see if this is what happened to my FB profile, so I logged into my other profile (come on, we all have one), and even though I was on MY OWN FRIENDS LIST, I saw virtually nothing -- no posts --  when I went to view my main profile.  I thought, boy this is odd, I'm my own friend, but I see virtually nothing.  I'm thinking this must mean that other people on my friends list see virtually nothing as well.

I think I figured out why.

I've been promoting my books on FB for years, literally YEARS, and I got a nice bit of back and forth, responses, comments, and the like, until FB started charging you to "run ads", to pay for "sponsored" ads, and I've seen quite a few of these ads come through my feed from other authors.  But, hey, I don't make enough money off of anything to pay for promotion, and I'm not really sure how much I trust their spiel:  "If you pay us $50 for an ad, it will be shown to 3000 people".  No, I don't believe it.

So, there you go.  

I have a private page now, consisting of family, a handful of people I know from The Real World, and a few internet friends I've had for years that I've become very fond of -- and I have a few more of these people that I need to reconnect with.  Less than 30 people so far, and it feels much more cozy than 4000 people who were mostly total strangers.

I do want to say that with my private page I have now, I did take the opportunity to create three new public pages at Facebook, and I'm going to give you the links to those pages here:

The Mystic Crone click HERE

I began this page with a few posts which include episodes #30 to #37.  From now on, when I post on The Mystic Crone Blog and The Mystic Crone YouTube, I'll make sure that I post the latest podcast on this Facebook page.  Let it be known that there are a slew of podcasts @ this YouTube, if you haven't checked them out, and as we say -- spiritual readings are Timeless.

You'll find mystical readings inspired by Spirit using the tarot.  They say that once you reach a certain age you become invisible, and to an extent, that's true. However, with age and invisibility comes a certain sense of power.

"Reclaim your power, O' ancient one. Walk the paths of your ancestors, communicate with the spirit world, and challenge the shadows. The universe will be still to hear your whispered words of wisdom." ~ Mystic Crone

Spirits n' Stuff click HERE

I have 22 podcasts uploaded to my Spirits n' Stuff YouTube, and I managed to post all of these to this new Facebook page.  I will certainly try to post new podcasts, as they're created, to this page as well.  You can subscribe to this YouTube channel to be notified when I upload a new video.Spirits n' Stuff explores the world of spiritualism, the supernatural, the paranormal, cryptids, myths and legends, hauntings, and the unknown.

BOOKS by Amythyst Raine click HERE

At this Facebook page, I've created ten posts, a post for each book, including info from the back cover text, a banner created for each book, and in the comments you'll find a link to purchase each book at Amazon.  I won't be creating anymore posts on this page.  Basically, you'll find my books here with the info you need to browse & purchase.

Amythyst Raine is a Best-Selling author of metaphysical books on tarot and intuitive reading, witchcraft, Wicca, paganism, women's mysteries, new-age spirituality, the pagan Goddess, gray magic, and green witchcraft.

There you have it, my new experience and journey on Facebook, going forward.  I would be absolutely thrilled if you visited these pages and click the like or follow button, feel free to leave comments, watch podcasts, buy books, or enjoy an intuitive inspiring spiritual reading.

who runs this blog?

Hi, my name is Kenny. I’m a 22 year old, non-binary queer. I’ve been in the practice for about 10 years now and tho I am by no means an expert, I have some experience that I like to share on occasion. My focus is divination (oracle mostly, mountain card reading, pendulum, some tarot, etc) but recently I’ve been finding myself wanting to stretch my legs and try out some new stuff.

I am also (currently) a pagan who just kinda goes with whatever and is trying to reconnect with ancestors, the earth, and my deities. I also have an interest in Judaism and Jewish Mysticism, but unfortunately I don’t think it’s my time to convert just yet. I have a lot of learning and growing to do before I feel ready to commit to something so big and life changing. So in the meantime I’ll be trying to have as much fun as I can being a pagan witch

If you made it this far, thank you for reading. I don’t have any DNI’s (mostly bc the people I would list would not respect it) but I do have a ‘will be blocked on sight’ list:

my blog is for adults and if you do not have an age/range somewhere on your blog you are going to be at risk of getting blocked. this is also an LGBTQIA+ safe blog, and especially a trans safe blog. you will be blocked if you are a terf or any flavor of homophobic. and if there’s any sort of racism in your current tumblr, you will be immediately blocked.

TLDR; if you treat others with kindness, i will return that kindness. and if not, i am liberal with the block button

if you read till the end, give this post a like so i know who’s read it :)

I am and always will be anti-colonisation, and I stand with Palestine. I post resources on my ig and tiktok with the same handle as main because that's where I have a following

Looking for more pagan friends so PLEEASEE don't be scared of messaging me 😭

I plan on making informative masterposts in the future. Religions that I know the most about are hellenism, kemeticism and I'm beginning to get into Slavic paganism, but you can request other (open) religions/practices and I will try my best to look into it

Please let me know if I reblog or post something misinformed/offensive, especially since this blog is mostly for saving stuff I could use in the future

About me

I'm Polish so English isn't my first language, so sorry if I misuse some words lol.

I've been in witchcraft circles for around 10 years now, strictly pagan for around 4-5. I'm an Aphrodite and Khonsu devotee :)

I have autism, ADHD and DID (fictive host). I'm trans and questioning between straight and bi.

I'm sorry I don't know how to make pinned posts 😭 I'll probably update it someday sparkle on

[chaoswitchgrimoire]

I lost my grimoire, and decided to remake it from scratch. I can’t afford a new leather bound notebook right now, so I figured tumblr was as good a place to compile random information as any. This blog is mostly for me, but anyone can feel free to read it, whether it’s for witchcraft purposes, just learning about witchcraft, inspiration, or even just reading it like you would a fantasy novel lol. I don’t care who reads or follows, just be respectful of beliefs and be a kind human. I won’t be posting my shadow work to this blog, since that’s deeply personal, but my digital grimoire will be a collection of my own beliefs, practices, spells, and observations. If I use the wrong tags, just let me know and I’ll change them.

Info about me for context, I suppose:

I am a chaos witch (duh). I’ve been practicing witchcraft since late 2021. I am Pagan (VERY new to it tho, so still figuring it out). I am a middle worker (someone who works with angels and guides to learn and do good as well working with your inner child or “shadow” in order to heal), but at the moment I’m mostly focusing on shadow work. My practice spans just about everywhere in my house, and I am neurodivergent so my practice is all over the place and very sporadic. I’m also a pyromaniac, so I burn a lot of candles and incense. I might even make a post dedicated to some of the incense I use and what I use it for.

That’s it for my little intro, I think. I’m gonna have a sort of post masterlist/table of contents to help keep myself organized here:
