#witchy ramblings

[divine-crows]

Things that feel magical to me that aren't inherently magical:

The rush of my blood and the burning air in my lungs when I run

The lilting, drowsy feeling as I awaken to the sound of birds chirping

The sound of a conch shell mimicking the roar of waves when I put it up to my ear

Comfortable silence with those I cherish

Rainstorms followed by the shining sun

Sitting (alone) in nature with a hot cup of tea

The warmth of the sunlight on an otherwise cold day

Random, unprompted midday naps

Babbling brooks and crashing waterfalls

*listening to one of my churchy podcasts and the hosts start talking about how historically in the church and traditionally in Christianity as a whole, women were the ones anointing with oils and giving healing blessings when nowadays in the LDS tradition at least that’s now exclusively a priesthood/mens responsibility*

One host: “Let’s take that back - so long as we’re not using the consecrated oil they use for priesthood blessings, what’s stopping us?”

Me, listening to this in the car: Christian witches Christian witches Christian witches!!

#queerstake #christian witch #not saying they were advocating for anyone to go into witchcraft specifically but like #I felt Validated okay? #by the way the podcast was At Last She Said It #this week’s episode was on blessings and this came up in the second half #witchy ramblings #faith and magic

I found a random side table thing yesterday in a dump spot. You bet I picked it up and am fixing it up to put at my altar (for my herbs and light sensitive crystals)

#witchy ramblings #someones junk is deeeefinetly my treasure

#witchy ramblings #my talking #grimoire challenge thing #i guess it just seems that way because its second nature at this point lol

I lost my last grimoire when I left my ex (long story). I'm pretty disappointed bc the notebook I used has sentimental value beyond being my grimoire. Currently my grimoire is actually just pages of the small dollar store notebook I travel with that also contains my notes for my doctor's appointments. Witches do what witches gotta do 🤷 I'll get a better notebook someday and copy it down.

I don’t understand how non Jews will be like “Lilith is based off of the Mesopotamian goddesses so that means that I can work with her” because for one, Lilith is exclusively Jewish and though she was inspired by other deities that people were worshiping around the time, she is still Jewish. Respect that. And two, since she’s based off of Mesopotamian goddess, go work with those goddesses instead? Why work with a spirit from a closed religion?

You know, I've made red salt plenty of times. The one on the left is how it typically comes out, as I use dragon's blood resin to get the coloring. I decided to use the ink instead this time for the one on the right, so I can try working with the resin in a liquefied form and wanted to see what it'd look like and its consistency. While the color is beautiful, I'm terrified it will turn into a hockey puck! So far, so good. Will keep y'all updated on my test batch!

On another note, it's time for some salves to be poured tonight! I've got two batches that finished infusing. And since I personally hate vodka and need to find a way to finish it before the big move, I've got enough to make two. Definitely the deep sleep one, not sure about the other yet.

Ace of Cups

Hello!! I'm participating in @a-witch-named-crow’s tarot study challenge, and the first day is Ace of Cups, so here we go :)

Suit and Numerology

The suit of cups represents our emotions and heart, how we express emotion, and how we connect with others. Positive aspects include relationships and intuition while negative aspects include loss and emptiness. Since it's a cup, the associated element is water.

Aces represent new beginnings, potential, and opportunity.

Ace of Cups

This card represents many things, such as relationships of all kinds, emotional release, and spiritual fulfillment.

It's a time to accept your emotions, whether they are new or being repressed. Be open to them and don't lock them away. This can be through thing such as emotional release or a new relationship.

Ace of Cups is a good omen for creativity and growth in new projects. It also represents a time to explore your spirituality and is a reminder to have joy in the present moment.

Many people also associate this card with fertility and emotional changes in life, such as pregnancy and marriage.

My Interpretation

I use the Cosmic Slumber deck and what I saw varied greatly from the general meaning of Ace of Cups. I love this deck, don't get me wrong, but it had more of a negative vibe for me.

The card is set against a deep ocean. An overflowing golden goblet is being held over it by a hand with a red sleeve. There's a magenta-robed blonde in the cup who's reaching up out of the rim for someone/thing out of view.

Before I looked at what the books said, I tried to intuit it. I saw the blonde as someone who feels like she is drowning, unaware of the hand supporting her from below. She's waiting for the help of someone who's long-gone, rather than leaning on the one already there. Despite her not recognizing what help she has, she is still being supported. To me, this says to be grateful for what you have and to not look too far into the past or future.

Wildly different from the definitions above, I know. Now that I've done my research, let me try again.

The ocean could represent her emotions, same as the water in the cup. She's getting overwhelmed by her emotions because she's been repressing  them; she needs to face them. The hand supporting her could represent other people in her life that she could turn to. It's not the time to be stagnant and waiting for something that may never come.

I just know that moving to Ireland will do wonders to my craft and to be fair I can't fucking wait to experience celtic paganism up close for a long period of time

Cartomancy but make it genderless, but cut out the monarchs, but change the suits, but no not like that, because earth isn’t money- it’s never been money- earth is food and plants and animals and your home and my home and our relative, and water isn’t a vessel for it cannot be contained because water is connection to others and to self and to spirit and to past and to present and to future, and fire is not a rod or staff -fire consumes and prepares and destroys and renews and enlightens and reveals, and air is not a sword- the truth may cut but it also comforts and a sword might protect but can it reflect? is a sword knowledge and wisdom and understanding? And the devil does not enslave us to worldly addictions but greedy emperors and empresses do and I love the fools journey but the Christian symbolism makes my skin crawl with religious trauma and neither Waite nor Smith were Jewish which makes some of the symbolism feel appropriative and I want a deck with trump cards that tell a story and suits that speak to the elements and cards to associate with astrology but WS is feeling more and more restrictive and I don’t care how many artists reinterpret the imagery I need something more expansive than that but more structured than an oracle deck and this is just my opinion, my frustration, my feelings, my confusion, my ignorance, my half baked/half naked thoughts so if I hurt your feelings or ticked you off by writing this post please ignore me and have a nice day and I hope you see a beautiful moonrise soon goodbye

To the small handful of other LDS witches out there that follow me or otherwise: I just got my hands on a copy of Early Mormonism and the Magic Worldview by D. Michael Quinn. Would folks here be interested in me like, writing up some posts here about my thoughts as I go through it?

I would probably write one post for each chapter or group of chapters depending on length and subject matter.

I’m probably gonna do the thing anyway for my own benefit but I wanted to gauge interest so I know what kind of target audience to expect if any.

I used to think that being a witch was making it an every day thing, with intense memorization and studying all at once... It isn't like that though, witch craft in it's core is about intention and magic and simply seeing the world around you can be just as good as going out of the way to spend money.

New year's eve into new year's day, the husband and I stayed out with our friends past 2am. Then last night, we went to a coworker of the husband's for dinner. Today, we went grocery shopping.

So, you see why I haven't gotten anything I've planned on done.

Tomorrow though, I can sit down with one of my new tarot decks and my laptop.

All of the things I’ve been through since becoming homeless has made me think very deeply about my religious beliefs and about my path as a brujo. From being kicked out on the streets by my sister to be stalked and harassed by someone I genuinely trust, I’ve been through a lot. Going through so much traumatic shit in the span of 2 years has made me realize that witchcraft for me has to do with helping myself and helping those around me with what I got so they won’t have to go through the things I went through or if they are, to making less painful. Whether that be through prayer or through a spell. It also made me realize how much I am grateful to my ancestors and G-D and just the universe especially after trying to take my life last month. Even with all the things I went through, they never left me. They kept giving me signs that they were with me the whole time, even when the majority of family disowned me after coming out as trans; they never left and it’s because of them that I’m still here and because of that I thank them. I’m obviously here for a reason so I’m gonna continue on my path
