What is shadow work because i can’t find any info on it.

thetwistedrope:

the divine is full of monsters;

incandescent giants who lick their gold teeth,
whose mouths are full of crumbling cities, who breathe
death and fire and revelation and madness while
diamonds crack like splinters of bone between their gums

their whims are carved in stone, sand, pillars of salt
their feathers sticky with luminescent blood, their fingers
thunderous with creation, lightning in their eyes
that crackles and hisses from every direction of the sky

the divine is not static and humane; the divine does not play nice.

they will eat everything you are.

they will leave you reformed in a roar of light, peel away layers of you like birth
and with a saint’s conviction you will know that nothing feels more like luxury,
better to be blinded by brilliance than close your eyes to awe-

for your lips are always being kissed.

your mouth is champagne roses. you will eat lotuses. your lungs are perfumed and 
your bones will blossom into stars. your blood is wine and you are clothed in light;

your skin threshed wheatlike until the gold of you shines.

Sorry for not clarifying! I meant, what are your thoughts on Wicca relating to witchcraft? Like, do you believe it’s legit?

:

Unless if you’re a traditional witch (and even then, the line gets thin), Wicca is likely the ancestor of your witchcraft. 
Wicca caused the re-emergence of witchcraft in the public. It is the backbone behind all of the movements that have happened. 
When most people write about tools, they write with Wiccan beliefs, even if they don’t know it. 
The athame? A Wiccan tool.
When people write about the Wheel of the Year, that’s something that became popularized by Wicca. 
Anything with the words ‘The Goddess’ referring to an overarching female deity? Wiccan. 

Now, trad craft is a little different. There are many traditional witches who came to trad craft after leaving Wicca, some who did the opposite, etc. Traditional witchcraft is a reconstruction of pre-Wiccan witchcraft, meaning that it majorly excludes things that are singular about Wicca. 
There are some traditions that look very similar to Wicca, but are not Wicca. There are some traditions completely removed from Wicca.

Either way, Wicca definitely spurred the growth of traditional witchcraft, as it was a gateway for many witches to find witchcraft in the first place, no matter if they stayed or moved on from it. 

I personally never went the Wiccan route. I definitely practiced modern witchcraft, heavily influenced by Wicca, but I didn’t stay there and it was very much not for me. For others, it’s good. They just need to know where they come from. 

Wicca in the beginning was not what Wicca is portrayed to be now. Many of the so called ‘rules’ didn’t exist in the early days. 
However, whether someone wishes to be involved with Wicca, like the early days or like now, it doesn’t matter to me. I’m not Wiccan, so it’s none of my business. 

I’ve known some brilliant witches and practitioners who are Wiccan. I don’t think that being Wiccan means that the person is uneducated in witchcraft. It only denotes a different approach to an age old set of concepts. 

cloverfeels:

honestly some of y’all want a significant other so badly and can’t understand why you can’t find one, but have no sense of boundaries or healthy expectations of what a relationship is like. in a committed long-term partnership you get left on read, you wait for texts back, and you can forget about each other when you’re busy. sometimes you fall asleep without saying goodnight and sometimes you’re too caught up to text each other before 6pm. that’s how it is. thinking that you can’t be deeply, beautifully in love and still wait more than “1.75 hours” for a text back is such an unhealthy and unreasonable expectation of what love is, and you shouldn’t be in a relationship if you can’t allow the other person to exist on their own apart from you. if you’re projecting your anxieties and insecurities onto a partner who doesn’t even exist yet, then you aren’t ready for one.

Lol, friend, your blog is one of my absolute favourites because you don’t dress it up in a happy perfect bow. When dealing with powerful things, don’t screw around. You’ve never made me feel bad about anything, ever, merely cautious and it’s so important to be cautious. Ignore the ones with their panties in a bunch and keep rocking!

:

Thanks, friend! 
Cautious is good. Cautious is important. It saves people from making big mistakes. 
If I say something mean unintentionally, I would feel bad if someone said they were hurt by it.
If I make posts that someone disagrees with and thus feels shit because I’m pointing out a different perspective, I have no guilt. That’s life. And it makes us better. 

nine-for-a-kiss:

I found the most unsettling poem I must have written as a very young teenager. It sounds like some kind of invocation.

Half past twelve is underwater
east and west and north and south
one goes over and one goes under
one is a hungry mouth.

 She is the world and she is the window
the starlight and the bramble wreath
one is a carp and one is a minnow
one is nothing but teeth.

The wind is soft and the water’s shallow
and what has been will never be;
hands of stone or hands of tallow,
we will find them. One-two-three.
