doesnt my father understand that i cant have my sister in the room because i need it to be a positive space. i cant have her watching over my shoulder because this is an important fucking thing that i need to do for this womans health and her familys safety,, having a child with me while i do it will ruin the energy in the room and the spell wont work correctly

You know what?

My ancestors would have wanted pasteurization, vaccines, antibiotics, disinfectants, birth control, psychiatric medications, pain management, anesthesia. My ancestors would have wanted to be able to keep their loved ones around longer, and not lose them too early/too soon to childbirths, injuries, bacterial infections, mental illnesses, and diseases that are curable and/or preventable in our modern day life.

Modern medicine saves lives.

This past week or so, does anyone feel strange, like something is coming, something big is going to happen? Even my body feels strange, lingering headache, my skin is breaking out for no reason, and my body, the only way I can describe it is...I cant sit still, I keep stretching, moving around and such?!?

Anyone else??

"I'm starting witchcraft, what do I need-"

I'm going to stop you right there, homie. You don't need anything. In fact, you'll probably regret getting everything now. You'll end up with so much you don't want.

Don't even get me started on those witchcraft "starter packs"

I began my practice with a single candle—just one. A white, three-wick Bath & Body Works candle I already owned. I learned the phases of the moon, traced sigils with quiet devotion, and stirred intention into my morning coffee. I printed my first tarot deck on plain paper.

Even now, I don’t have much. Another tarot deck, a handful of colored candles, but my magic still lives in my spice rack. I steep my water in the light of the moon and sun, letting nature do the work.

A cauldron is wonderful, but so is a simple pot. A tiny, ornate bottle of sage is lovely, but so is the sage tucked in your kitchen cabinet.

You already have everything you need for the craft. Even if all you have is yourself.

I will perhaps have people mad at me for this, but it’s my passionate opinion that we, as Hellenists, or really any ‘pagan’ worshippers, should not demonize Christianity, & should not hold ourselves above other religions.

Not being Christian is now not the default, & in many ways, non-Christians are mistreated, however this was not always the case. There was a time when worshippers of gods familiar to us were the colonizers, & the oppressors, who martyred Christians.

On top of this, when you see yourself as inherently better than Christians, you are likely to fall into the fallacy of being unable to see your own Christian influences. Many of you speak of divinity in a way reflective of Christianity, many of you hold onto the idea of humans as inherently dirty. Sometimes, you’re influenced by other traditions & you don’t even notice- for instance, I’ve seen Wiccan practice touted as if it’s something ancient or inherent to Hellenism.

Sometimes I see people lamenting the fact that there are churches instead of temples, saying outright that it would be better if everyone was a Hellenist. I feel people forget what it was once like when there was only temples- it was not free, it was not safe for women, for foreigners, for the lower class. Believers in the Theoi did not become more moral then Christians solely though their faith in the Gods.

We have just as much potential to be harmful, bigoted & cruel as Christians. If you do not deconstruct, & if you hold anger against others for their faith, you are not breaking a cycle, you are continuing it.

Annual Witchblr reminder that Hecate's origin is ancient Greece, not Wicca.

Hecate being three formed (Trimorphis) represents her domain of the crossroads, not the maiden/mother/crone triple moon goddess. Hecate predates Wicca and its triple goddess by at least couple thousand years.
