Unpopular Opinion Time

The doodle you make or the picrew you use, the poorly executed poetry or basic bare bones prayer will ALWAYS be better than AI generated offerings.

I am sick of having my feed flooded with practitioners, pagans and other polytheists using AI. Specifically deities like Brigid should never be offered AI in my opinion, it’s essentially a slap in the face.

AI generated spells aren’t shit, it’s what a computer assumes will work based off of what it can gather from internet trends and research. MAKE IT YOURSELF, ask a human for help anything but AI.

There is no place for Artificial Intelligence in these spaces.

Hot Witch Tip!

Use grains in your money bowls!

Grain was really valuable, especially before modern currency. This applies to various grains but in all cultures across the world.

Use whatever grain feels most applicable to you and your practices. For me, that's rice!

If you're unsure what to try first, rice or wheat are great/safe options to start with. But you can also use a grain that's tied specifically to your culture/folk practice. Quinoa in South America, millet in East Africa, etc.

for my fellow witches who practice christian folk magic and use the rosary, I've written a special set of prayers for Palestine. Feel free to use and distribute this if you wish.

I've been learning and doing unorthodox shit from and with my grandmother since pre school. The idea of there are prerequisites to doing magic work is fucking beyond ludicrous, not to mention white supremacist.

A Prayer to Joan of Arc🗡🖤

Feel free to use this in your practice and to connect with Joan of Arc! She’s a wonderful saint, I love Joan a lot and hope that others may find this prayer helpful too. They’re a great spirit to go to when first starting to work with saints, as she can help with so many things. Joan is someone I regularly go to for protecting myself and others, they have such a powerful presence.

Blessed Joan of Arc

Filled with love and understanding for those who call on you,

you have compassion for those suffering through grief and desolation.

Dear brave and holy leader, help me to carry the weight of my battles,

I pray to you and ask you to keep me under your fierce protection, take my hand and guide me

Fearless Joan of Arc, ride alongside and fight with me

amen

[pagan-culture-iz]

Welcome to Pagan culture is! The culture blog where pagans and folk practitioners can share experiences!

Rules:

No dissing other religions, especially historically oppressed ones like Judaism

No hating on other’s practices if said practices are respectful of others cultures and lives

No “there are no closed practices” bullshits. Fuck outta here with that

Must be a folk practitioner or a pagan to submit culture asks

Asks must start with “____ culture is” if you are submitting a culture ask

I reserve the right to not answer any asks I don’t want to, regardless of reason

No folkism/volkism (the belief that in open practices only the people from that background can practice. Again, open practices.)

Questions about paganism are fine, even if they aren’t from practitioners! Just please no disrespect!

Have fun!!!

[afrocentric-divination]

I think when we talk about the craft, abundance workings and magic, manifesting, and just trying to be more comfortable in a capitalist world, results get overshadowed when the person who got hundreds to thousands of dollars expands on their story.

And this is not to say that the person who got 20x what they asked for shouldn’t share their experience, it’s nice to hear those experiences because it shows that it is possible to get that. But in the world that we live in now, a lot of people are just trying to get just enough. Just an extra $500 a month. Just $4-5k a month (to move out because they keep asking for 3x the rent). Just $1k to fix their car. Just an extra $300 a month so they can go to the grocery store a second time a month. Some people are not looking to become rich. The majority of people are just trying to live.

So when you go out and do your abundance working and spells, just know that you don’t always have to shoot for the stars, or don’t feel bad because you didn’t. As a folk practioner, alot of people are just trying to get by in another way. And that is more than ok.

hello! how are you? I hope you're well

I would like to know where I could start reading about folk magic, maybe you can give me some advice, thanks!

hello!

truth be told, as a mostly closeted witch, I don't have access to a ton of books about witchcraft. to get started in learning about folk witchcraft, I would definitely recommend chaotic witch aunt on youtube. Frankie is an Italian-American folk practitioner with some incredible insights into folk magic. this video that they made with Olivia from the witch of wonderlust is a great one to start off with, as they both talk about their individual experiences with folk magic. they also have plenty of videos recommending books, which I'd encourage you to check out.

there's no specific resource for this, but I'd also recommend researching the folk magic of your specific heritage and consider if that's something you'd like to incorporate into your practice!

Full Moon in Libra,April 6th 12:34am

This full moon is occurring on April 6th at 12:34 Eastern standard Time. This full moon is taking place in the zodiac sign of Libra. This full moon is all about the government, politics, authority and power and how it is interacting with our lives.

With a Capricorn ascendant, This full moon is going to be centered around hierarchy, governmental power structures, as well as tradition. These ideas are going to be brought into focus during this time, the idea of the future versus the past is a heavily present theme. There's definitely going to be a lot of energy directed towards the corporate world, as well as businesses in general. On a personal level, this is a time to really establish goals and go for them with gusto. Be determined, be disciplined. We are being called to do so. There is a heavily karmic theme to this moon and justice is being dealt by both destiny, and spirit as well as by human hands. The ascendant is involved in a grand cardinal cross denoting massive changes and initiating radical new beginnings.

These themes of justice that are entertained during this full moon are only further embellished upon by the presence of the zodiac sign of Libra. With this Libra full moon conjunct the MC, the public is being called towards a collective justice that is going to be influenced by 9th house matters i.e. higher learning, travel, geopolitics, spiritual institutions and of course politics. There's going to be a rebalancing, especially in the realm of religious politics. Themes of spirituality, religion and higher ideologies, particularly justice are especially poignant during this moon as Jupiter is also involved in a stellium in the sign of Aries.

The Aries stellium taking place largely in the bottom of the chart, especially clustered around the IC and in the third speaks to civil unrest, chaos in the home place, emotional volatility, nightmares, and high levels of stress and anxiety during this moon. However! I cannot stress enough the oddly fortuitous quality of this moon. Many miracles, especially surrounding faith and spirituality will be occurring. Similarly our dreams are being reborn! We have been in a period of figuring things out and the direction we want to go. That direction is being made clear. Will we fight?

With Ceres still in retrograde motion, environmental catastrophe and upset is going to continue to happen. Now placed in her dignity of Virgo, mistakes are getting higher and the urge to fight for our mother earth is going to be reaching a fever pitch. Make sure that you're using your voice to advocate for better changes and greener changes for our environmentm

There's going to be massive developments in the world of technology that are going to revolutionize the experience of how we handle information. This is going to be directly connected to our values, what we value and how it connects to money.

On a lighter note, this full moon is highly fortuitous for matters of the heart and connections. Please could even be financial and business connections. If you are feeling amorous, take a risk! The result might surprise you. Be creative, be artistic and have fun.

Happy full moon!

Workings

Money

Justice

Love

Power

Luck

Other than the default "witch", other titles that I think suit me are "sorceress", "medium", and "wise woman".

Plus high priestess of cats, of course.
