TERFs have no place in spirituality

Lilth does not support you. She is Queen of the downtrodden and nonconforming.

Aphrodite does not support you. She is the mother of the trans and intersex.

Hecate does not support you. She has long protected women of all sexes.

Gaia does not support you. She is the Mother of Radical Harmony.

The Gods you claim to worship will only support your basic needs as children of this Earth. The Gods you claim to worship will never support you beyond that. They love you as any parent loves their child, but they do not love you for who you are. You and your entire wretched movement have the blood of innocents on your hands. Only Tricksters and Gods of Evil will ever love you truly.

How dare you twist the words and teachings of the Most Holy of Women. How dare you take their messages of love and harmony and self-acceptance and make them something muddied and evil. How dare you destroy our Mothers’ good names like this.

The next life will see you punished. Of this I have no doubt.

Finally after 8 years I had my first endometriosis resection. We removed adhesions and scar tissue from 3 different areas. My surgical team was absolutely amazing! But I couldn’t do this without my amazing support team of family, friends, and fellow endo warriors. I know this is a small step in a life long journey but I feel hopeful of living a more comfortable pain free life. I’m sharing my story in hopes it can educate others because for a disease that affects 1/10 people who menstruate it is rarely talked about and leaves people uneducated. If you are experiencing painful periods TALK TO YOUR DOCTOR. Don’t let your pain be ignored or brushed off. You deserve to live pain free.

Hekate Devotional Acts

We are chugging right along! Up next is Hekate in my devotional acts series! And in case anyone is wondering, most of these come right from my grimoire that I keep in-person (because I feel like it brings me closer to the Gods). So, here’s some devotional acts to do for Hekate!

Be nice to animals, especially ones with black fur (black dogs and cats are two animals associated with Her)

If you’re a witch, do a small spell dedicated to Her

Thank Her when you go through or come upon a crossroads or intersection (this is good if you live in a city or suburban area)

If safe to do so, take a late night walk

I can’t do that where I am, so instead, I’ll sit on my roof and watch the stars and clouds late at night

Practice divination

This is a good one if you’re a witch too, although everyone can do it

In my experience she likes tarot readings

Rearrange your altar space

I find this to be relaxing for me, and a really good mix up every few months

Other Gods like it as well, in my experience

Sit in a dark room with only a candle burning and meditate

This one sounds odd, but it is not only relaxing but symbolizes (in my mind) Her torch guiding you

Learn about the history of witchcraft

This is a bonus for me because I love history, but She also may like it if you venture out and learn about something She controls/presides over

Read stories about spirits

This is a good act in general regarding Chthonic deities, since They are all connected to the Underworld in some way or shape

Love yourself, because the Gods love you

And many others!

Also, we’re almost to 500 followers? When did that happen? Holy crow? Thank you to everyone, new and old and in between, for following! It means the world! <3!!!

P.S.–Next wardrobe post is in the works, as are some playlists! Stay tuned!

🌕Full moon in Aries advice🌕

This tarot reading is valid from the full moon to a week after it (Oct. 13th - Oct. 20th)! This reading is general, and made for entertainment purposes. Therefore, i won’t take responsibility for any action that is inspired by this reading. Use your sun, moon or rising for this reading! Have a lovely full moon everyone! 🌻💕

Aries, please don’t overwork yourself for a compensation that is too low. You should put in the amount of effort and resources that you get back, whether that is in your career or platonic and romantic relationships. Have the self-respect to stick up for yourself when you feel like you are being unfairly treated. Also, make plans. What do you want? Make a clear plan for how you can make those things come true or appear in your life. 

Taurus, sometimes you don’t need to push your agenda during arguments. If you feel like things aren’t going anywhere, why do you keep trying to prove that you are right? Sometimes it’s better to just let things go for your own sake. There are truly better things that you could be doing with your time right now. If there is something that you have been wanting or needing to start working on, you should. That thing is a chance for a new start, and might leave you feeling creatively invigorated or in new spirits.

Gemini, if you run away from the sudden change that you might sense is going to happen, it’s just going to get harder to accept. Things might not develop in the way that you wanted, but trust that it’s going to turn out in your best interest. It’s not something that is worth loosing sleep for. Truthfully, take care of yourself and talk to someone if you need to. Change is hard to deal with, but in the end it’s going to turn out fine.

Cancer, take some time out to spend with people you love. It’s fine to let go of all responsibilities and just focus on the enjoyment sometimes. You are going to feel refreshed and other things are going to feel easier if you just take a day or two out to hang out with friends. There is nothing wrong with just having fun for a change, instead of worrying about being unproductive. Life is supposed to be enjoyed, it’s not a measure of how much you can produce all the time. 

Leo, don’t stop because things didn’t turn out the way you wanted them to. There is a way forward, but it seems like you might not have found it yet because you are so focused on the mishaps. Work on your manifestation. If you communicate with the universe that you are open to receive, you are going to get what you you want or the confirmation that what you wanted wasn’t in your best interest. Be open to new possibilities, even if it isn’t completely in alignment with what you believe is the best outcome.

Virgo, there might be good things coming your way if you let go of the control sometimes. It’s not necessary to plan everything, as it’s going to restrict you as a person. I get that it might be because something hard happened, and that control feels really secure. But you have to move on and forgive yourself. Keeping track of and planning your life out to the detail is exhausting. Let yourself rest. 

Libra, you might benefit from spending some time on your own, seeking closure about something that happened you. It is nice to be around other people as it is a distraction. But a distraction doesn’t make you get over or finish a certain part of your life. It’s only going to delay the moment when you feel like you can finally move on. So why not spend some time on your own, healing and reflecting and working on what needs to be worked on?

Scorpio, balance is always key. Act in moderation. Just because you are doing things excessively, doesn’t necessarily mean that you are going to give anything back from it. It might as well just give you more stress than necessarily or burn out. You don’t need to prove yourself, so give yourself some rest for a change. Connect with yourself and the universe, even if it’s just for a bit. There are benefits to just spending time with yourself instead of constantly working. 

Sagittarius, if it feels like you aren’t acting according to your personal values, or like your life is taking a turn that you don’t like try focusing more on the long term outlook of life. Sometimes it’s better to have a clear long term plan set out so that you know where you want to be in for example a year. That makes it easier for you to act accordingly, instead of just doing what you think is best in the moment. 

Capricorn, stop looking for happiness in other people, material things and accomplishments. You should be happy now, not when you have the thing you want. Show some respect and love for yourself and try working towards enjoying being yourself despite the things around you. You are so much more than the things you surround yourself with. Set your focus inward, and try taking care of yourself for a change. Fulfill your emotional needs. Spend time with yourself.

Aquarius, you are taking way too long to make up your mind. What is it that is stopping you from moving forward? At this point you might loose the opportunity because you can’t make the decision. You need to sit down with yourself and actually figure this out instead of just beating around the bush. You have thought about it so much. At this point do you really think you are going to get this new revelation, or are you just scared of making the definitive choice?

Pisces, you already know what’s going on. Trust your intuition, instead of second guessing yourself. Before you act though, you should try finding as much of the truth as possible, because your current gut feeling might just be based on the wrong assumptions and information. Though, if you try your best to seek out fairness and truth, it’s going to turn out fine.

Have a lovely day! 💕

Basic Prayer

Hail Hades, Pluto, Lord of the Underworld. You have many names to describe your greatness and I pray that You accept my few. Your power is great and as vast as the core under the earth. God of Below, hear my prayer, if it pleases you.

I do not expect special treatment, but ask that You watch over me and guide my steps, though I am not worthy. I ask that Your wisdom guide me and Your stoicism strengthen me.

Hail to You, Hades. I praise and I thank you, even if you make no action. I am open and listening. Hail to You!

(This is my go to prayer, one that I wrote myself. I decided to post it in case others would like to use it. I pray this in the morning and evening, or at least, I try to.)

Full Moon Spell to Increase Psychic Abilities 🌕🔮

With the full moon, it’s a great time to cast a spell to help increase your psychic abilities. This spell is great for both beginners and experienced witches.

✨ You will need:

✨ Wine, juice, or herbal tea (some suggestions; red wine, hibiscous tea, 

✨ A bell or chime (none available? Try a ‘gong’ phone app! Just make sure to keep your phone in airplane mode to avoid distractions)

✨ A strong smelling incense, cologne, or perfume. Something strong and musty is best. 

✨ Begin your ritual for your spell by casting a protective circle. Don’t forget to ground yourself! The full moon can make us anxious, and we want to be fully grounded during this spell.  Start by ringing the bell once. Let the sound flow through your body. Feel the sound. You can recite or say to yourself “I hear the power.” Take a sip of your ritual drink. Let it sit on your tongue before letting it flow through your body. You can recite or say to yourself “I taste the power”.Light the incense, or spray the perfume on your body. I use frankincense for its psychic traits. You can recite or say to yourself “I smell the power.” Now let yourself sit and notice all your senses. Your power is all around you. You can recite or say to yourself “I AM the power.”

✨ End your ritual as you normally would, and finish your ritual drink. This is a great time for divination, tarot reading, or meditation.

Hey I just found out that apparently fascists and the like are using cottagecore to subtly recruit people, by disguising fascist rhetoric with cute cottagecore/trad femme aesthetics. So I just wanted to say that this blog is not, and will never be in support of fascism or anything resembling fascism in any way.

🕯️🌿 banishing spell to break someone’s hold over you 🌿🕯️

I’m in a time of transition right now, and as I’m going through all of these big changes, I realized that I was being held back by certain unresolved relationships in my past. I designed this spell as a way of letting go of those people and freeing myself of their influences, so that I can move forward without all this emotional baggage. 

What You Will Need:

a small black candle (used for banishing negative influences)

a piece of paper with the name of the person or thing you want to let go of written on it

sage (for cleansing and purification)

an obsidian stone (associated with psychic cleansing, protection, grounding, and personal transformation) (side note: this is also one of my favorite stones to meditate with!) 

Optional Components: 

fresh or dried basil (wards off negativity, promotes love and happiness, and is associated with peace in many cultures)

a selenite crystal (an extremely powerful cleansing stone, especially for cleansing emotional energies)

a rose quartz crystal (associated with forgiveness, healing, and compassion) (if you don’t have rose quartz, I would recommend using a pink spell candle to bring the energy of compassion and forgiveness into the spell.)

I had two different people I wanted to let go of, so I had two black candles and two pieces of paper. Ordinarily, you should just need one of everything.

Note: This ritual involves setting objects on fire. For this reason, I recommend performing it outside.

Casting the Spell:

Begin by getting yourself into the right mood for magic.  Maybe meditate for a few minutes, put on some instrumental music, burn your favorite incense, etc. 

Take a moment to ground and center yourself. 

Cleanse your space. You can do this by lighting your sage and wafting its smoke around yourself, your tools, and your general area. Close your eyes, inhale the smoke, and feel yourself being cleansed and blessed. 

Light your black candle. As you do so, begin thinking about the person or thing you want to let go of, of the effect they have had on your life, and of the reason(s) you need to be free of their influence.

Take the piece of paper with the person or thing’s name written on it, and hold it over the candle flame. PLEASE BE CAREFUL NOT TO BURN YOURSELF. Hold the paper over the flame only long enough for it to light, and then set it down on the ground. It should continue to burn.

As you watch the paper burn, recite the following incantation: “[Name]’s hold over me is broken. He/she/they/it has no power over me. I am free of his/her/their/its influence.” 

Repeat this incantation as many times as feels right to you. If you follow my blog, you know that I like to work with the number nine in my magic, so I repeated it nine times.

Allow yourself to feel all of the pain and frustration that this person or thing has caused in your life. Acknowledge these feelings – they are a normal and valid part of our emotional healing process, but they are no longer serving you. You have passed the phase in healing where they are useful. Focus on these feelings for a moment, and then let them go. Feel them being carried away from you, leaving you free of their weight.

If you chose to include basil, use the candle’s flame to light it. Watch the smoke rise and smell its sweet aroma. Feel peace and happiness flowing into you to replace all the pain you’ve just let go of. (Again, be careful not to burn yourself!)

Once you feel at peace, blow out your black candle to end the ritual. I find that with banishings and other “letting go” or “getting rid of” spells, it’s best not to prolong the spell any longer than necessary. Do what you need to do, and then end the ritual. Don’t give these negative influences any more or your time and attention than you absolutely have to.

Light your sage again, and do one final cleansing of yourself and your space. This will make sure that you are cleared of any lingering negativity, and I feel like it kind of just puts a “final seal” on the powerful cleansing you’ve just done. 

This spell is all about your healing and personal growth. It’s not about removing the other person from your life, or wishing any harm on them – it is simply a way of cutting the ties that allow them to control you. Because of this, I find that this spell works best after the person or thing you want to let go of is no longer a part of your life, and after you’ve had some time to process your emotions and allow yourself to grieve. Pain has its place, and sometimes we need to allow ourselves to feel it instead of trying to get rid of it immediately.
