December 3rd, tomorrow is the night of the Supermoon!
Make some supermoon water! This type of moon water is pretty rare since this event happens once a year! There are quite a few amazing potions/spells you can do with this precious gift!
Just thought you guys should know about this early! 🙂
(P.S. I’ll post some 😀 )

n. Someone who arranges matters to give themselves vexation. A self-tormentor.
Some might equate it with “masochism”, and it does sometimes get used in that context. However, it has always had a distinct connotation, and those of you with manipulative family will know the sort I mean. The one who always must cause some sort of “drama” that puts them as the victim so that they may spuddle and get attention. Or the one who is always crying “woe is me” over any old thing.
Example: You have a collection of key chains, pockets of every kind, and yet you still toss the keys in the one pocket you know will swallow them into oblivion, and cause you to spend fifteen minutes dumping out your purse in a parking lot. Stop being such a seek-sorrow and buy a carabiner.

Not quite this specific situation, but I know the problem that arises with it.
A lot of folks don’t really think about it when they’re in their own home. Their religion is a part of them and their home is most likely where they practice alongside everyday life. It may not come to mind that one of their guests doesn’t follow the same god as them, if any god at all.
If you are open about not agreeing with them, you could tell them that it would make you uncomfortable to pray with them. You could ask them what the next best thing would be if they don’t like that. There are mundane things you can do to show union with the rest of the guests that isn’t necessarily religious. One of those thing is joining hands. Another one of those things is bowing your head in respect, not of their god, but of your host.
If you aren’t open about it, bowing your head or joining hands can certainly be your way around it. If anyone asks, you’re just saying the prayer in your head.For me personally, I keep it under my hat. People have always had ideas, but few really know. When I go to a guest’s house and they wish to pray over a meal, I just bow my head. Like I said before, it’s not out of respect for their god, but for them. Though usually, if it’s a close friend, they know.
My family are most (if not all) southern birb and raised Christians and only my husband knows that I’m pagan. When Grace is said at family gatherings we all bow our heads while the chosen person (usually a male family member) says the prayer.
I usually bow my head, but mentally say my own thanks to my God. No one needs to know and no one has ever questioned if I was participating.
Hey followers, I need your help. As you’ve seen in the shop, my Deity and POP series oils come in these adorable 3ml crystal corked bottles. I get these bottles from a seller on amazon that seems to be the only place I can find them. The seller on amazon, in my opinion, charges way to much for these and I have been looking for another source to buy these bottles, hopefully in bulk. This shot I posted was from ArtisanWitchcrafts who used to sell them a long while ago.
Has anyone come across these bottles to buy aside from amazon?
Signal Boost! Anyone seen these bottles online? Help a witch out!
I’m supposed to go test drive a car today but I’m having serious anxiety about the whole thing. I’ve never test driven a car before, never walked into a car showroom/garage since I was a kid, I don’t know what the process is or if I need to take anything with me and I’m expected to be able to do this on my own and know all of this automatically simply because I’m a grown-up.
It’s awful, and good luck! Just remember, as a witch, that you are walking into a den of glamour and lies. Wear clarity and grounding like a cloak and shield. Know what you want. Do not be swayed. You can do it!
You’ll need your drivers license and perhaps your insurance card and that’s really about it.
If you plan on buying the car, you’ll need a way to make the down payment, but don’t worry about that unless you really want to buy a car today.
They only make money if they sell you a car, so they will do everything they can to alternately make you comfortable and pressure you into signing today. Do not sign anything unless you are utterly sure it is the right thing to do. They will always have cars. They will always be able to offer you a deal. You have the absolute right to say “no, thank you,” and walk away.
Most of these are tips for buying used cars, so they may not apply for you. I hope these are helpful for anyone looking at cars though.
Don’t let the appeal of “oooh pretty car” distract you. Check that the seat levers work, radio, windows, sun/moon roof if applicable, open the trunk and hood, pay attention to if the car makes noises when it’s idling, the way it feels when you accelerate and brake, if there’s any odd noises or it feels off at all when you’re braking.
Make sure you’re comfortable in the driver’s seat and when you get in and out of the car. Imagine being out for the day and getting in and out constantly. Does it feel comfortable for your height, joints, size, etc?
Sit in the backseat to ensure it’s roomy and comfortable for people riding with you. Check the trunk for room and inspect the spare tire to ensure there IS one and that it’s in good condition (no dry rot or separation on the sides, deep tred, etc).
Overall whether the cars runs well and is comfortable for you are the key points to check. Good luck and happy shopping!
Please do not approach strangers or people who you know don’t want to be approached by you and then insist that they’re your astral sibling and that you really feel a genuine connection with them. I assure you that you are being creepy as fuck when you do that. It will not improve your long-term relationships to try to forcibly adopt complete strangers or your stalking victims into your spirit family.
See, this is the kind of thing I think of when people talk about problematic behavior.
Any time someone tells me they’re a bride of (insert being here), I give them the squinty side-eye. Any time someone starts talking about being an embodiment of a deity, squinty side-eye. Any time someone starts talking about being spiritual kin to something or someone who has had no ability to vet or sound in on the subject…
Yep. Squinty side-eye.
Look, guys, I understand how hard it is to live in this world, feeling alone and ostracized or misunderstood. I understand how strong the drive is to find one’s tribe, and also how imperative it is to find leverage in this world over things which make us feel unsafe.
The thing is, if the coin by which one purchases said feelings of belonging or safety is the safety, freedom, or stolen sovereignty of another being, then how are you any better than those you fear or dislike? How are you not as much of an abuser as those you claim to stand against? How is your cause right?
As a witch, I’m honestly not terribly enamored of the “woogy,” aka “stuff that only I can see.” This applies to my own woogy and anyone else’s. I don’t validate people’s beliefs or feelings in general, that’s not my goal. I figure the truth manifests itself in ways that are undeniable, so if someone tells me about something that I can’t perceive myself, then it’s not real and they’re either lying or delusional.
The reason I look at things this way, is because I had too many people come into my life and claim we had a past life together, that they were all powerful otherkin, that they had the sole loyalty of a deity behind them, that they were kin to incredible forces.
Then they turned around and weaponized all of those connections and beliefs, and used them to create a hostile narcissistic environment around themselves for all who were near them, including my family. For years, we have struggled with these people and their makeshift cults. We’ve watched people fall down the rabbit hole with them, hoping for Wonderland, only to land in a garbage dump. We’ve helped people get out of that place, get free of those people. We’ve helped people heal after their battles are over. We’ve worked to help each other grow and heal past those wounds.
And we’re still healing.
This is toxic behavior to me. If it ever comes across like I am a hostile, angry, mean-spirited person with tendencies to curse first and ask questions later, I apologize to all of you for that. I can only say that I have reasons for being how I am, and I work every day to make sure that side of me is kept firmly under restraint, but if you ask me to arm you, I absolutely will do that because there really are monsters out there, and their snares are incredibly appealing.
In short, if your feelings matter more than other people’s safety, you’re creating a hostage situation, and you need to understand that some of us will respond accordingly. We understand what you’re doing, and we have learned how to protect ourselves.

Judgement
Things are coming to an end and things are starting to move forward towards something greater. Lets celebrate on what we can create in the future as we learn from the past. Times are changing and there is no room to wallow in self-pity of what was. Smile darling, better times are ahead.
