Things I Wish I Had Known When I Started Practicing

pastellewitchcraft: Chakras are part of closed practices. Find a different theory on energy centres and how they work. I have my own here but there are many more that exist. Do your research. Question everything. Don’t follow Tumblr posts blindly. Do your research, make sure that research is credible. Some authors out there are shittyContinue reading “Things I Wish I Had Known When I Started Practicing”

deerhoofandrabbitsfoot: Do your research!! I love old spells. I mean, that’s a pretty big part of being a Traditional Witch for me. That being said, old spells are not always good spells. You need to do some research when dipping into old books and folkloric spells and I have a story that really demonstrates why.Continue reading

nightshadeandroses: Decolonize Witchcraft and Spirituality! That means: Respect closed practices! Either go through the proper channels to be initiated or leave them alone! Respect indigenous and diasporic cultural traditions! Many of these cultures were nearly wiped out by colonization. Respect the boundaries of what you can and can’t practice as an outsider. Purchase crystals fromContinue reading

nightshadeandroses: Witchcraft is a Skill: Reminders 🔮That means it requires work and effort to get good at it. 🔮Just like you wouldn’t expect yourself to become a master violin player or a master chef in a short period of time, don’t expect to be immediately amazing at witchcraft. 🔮Some people have innate abilities that helpContinue reading

spiritscraft: We need to change the narrative about boundaries in witchcraft-you may need to push your comfort zone, it is really a thing you may need to do. That being said you still can decide that something is more than just uncomfortable, it is not right for you. Seek the difference. It is part ofContinue reading

it’s 5:30 AM so let me be honest and talk about one of the real problems with making fun of other people’s magic because it’s not what you were taught

hellboundwitch: What you were taught is not the end all be all of magic! Like, it’s really that simple. I’ve seen people mocked and ridiculed for their practices that are say, totally legit hoodoo workings, but it’s not what white people in Europe did 500 years ago, so it must not be real. And that’s, honestly,Continue reading “it’s 5:30 AM so let me be honest and talk about one of the real problems with making fun of other people’s magic because it’s not what you were taught”

greysorcery: Dear Witchblr Community: A PSA: Dear babes, I’ve been noticing a trend going around our community that is not sitting well with me. I am calling it the “This-Isn’t-Magic Effect”. (I cannot tag them directly) The admin of this blog start off by trolling out beloved community. Trying to fill our space with hatredContinue reading

teawitch: Witchcraft is not a competitive sport. You lose nothing by being pleasant to another witch and accepting that their practice is their practice. You don’t have to explain how your rituals are better, your altar is more correct, your gods (or lack of gods) makes your practice better, your tools are more authentic. WeContinue reading “Witchy PSA”

pvwitch: What I really wish people would understand about cursing and hexing, it’s not always about revenge. It’s not always about getting back at someone who hurt you or someone else. Sometimes it’s the only way to express how godsdamned word-spitting incomprehensibly fucking ANGRY you are with the evil choices someone has chosen to lead.Continue reading

THE NEWBIE WITCH – WHAT OTHERS OFTEN DON’T TELL YOU ABOUT BEGINNING THE PRACTICE

neveira-the-witch: You will find lots of articles on tumblr for newbie witches but I realized when I started practicing that a lot of things were missing and I was kind of ashamed to ask because I felt stupid. This post is for people who have just started practicing or are planning to. If you haveContinue reading “THE NEWBIE WITCH – WHAT OTHERS OFTEN DON’T TELL YOU ABOUT BEGINNING THE PRACTICE”
