Saints/Plants/Animism in Christian/Catholic Witchcraft
Does anybody else think of plants (especially when used in witchcraft) kind of like saints?
I think when I was first starting out in my practice I was really nervous about what I was allowed to include, not wanting to be accidentally practicing idolatry and all that other scrupulous stuff (which I now understand has a totally different definition than what I thought, lol)
But what's there to worry about? I don't think this plant is a god. I mean, maybe in the way that the Holy Spirit is in every living thing. But generally I think of them like saints: I am asking this rosemary for assistance in presenting my petition for cleansing my space to God. I am asking for this cinnamon stick's support in seeking God's protection.
Packing up April Saint of the Month boxes. (Yes, I know it's May lol... But I had to fiddle with the art for the candle labels a lot, and every chaplet is handmade and unique, and the booklet these are shipping with actually has footnotes, so this kind of thing just takes time!) #seraphinstation #karmazain #bigluckyhoodoo #folkcatholicism #folksaint #stexpedite #saintexpedite #bayouhoodoo #rootwork #rootworkersofinstagram #conjureartist #conjureart #catholicwitch #saintofthemonth #esoterichandmade https://www.instagram.com/p/Cd3miaCJTRn/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
I’m super proud of my altar 🤗. It has a rosary, an Virgin Mary statue, lavender and cinnamon essential oil, a pestle and a mortar, rain water, moon water, a cleansing spray, crystals and a pendulum.
"-Et tu sera la première sorcière connue; et la première d'entre toutes au monde; et tu enseignera l'art des poisons, l'art d'empoisonner les grands seigneurs; oui, tu les fera mourir dans leurs palais; et tu lieras l'âme de l'oppresseur par ta puissance" Aradia l'évangile des sorcières. . "-Vierge Marie, je viens te prier, toi que j'appelle ici Notre Dame de la Garde. Tu me présentes ton fils. Il me dit : "Voici ta mère". Je suis et je veux rester ton enfant. Garde moi la santé de l'âme et du corps. Garde la aussi à tous ceux qui me sont chers. Aide nous a être fidèle à la foi de notre baptême et obéissant à tout face que ton fils nous demande. Donne nous d'aimer tous ceux qui nous entourent. Que notre amour rayonne de bonté, de compréhension et d'indulgence. Aidé nous a servir toujours d'avantage nos frères. Soutiens nous dans les épreuves. Protège tous ceux qui souffrent dans leurs corps et dans leurs coeur. O Vierge de la Garde, ô la mère du ciel, je l'adresse à toi avec un coeur d'enfant. Prie pour nous ton fils Jésus. Obtiens nous la grâce d'aimer toujours plus et de lui ressembler chaque jour d'avantage." . Marseille ma mère, ma protectrice, mon amour.

I need help. I’m a Catholic Mystic and a Catholic witch. When I talked to my priest about this trying to find people like me he told me that you can’t be a witch or practice any sort of witchcraft/mystic. And i was very confused that why would God give me the ability to be a Mystic if I wasn’t able to use it? Also where should I get started? how is it okay and what part is not okay? please help.
Quick oracle card/charm reading. I can’t love myself in a healthy way if I don’t take personal time, establish boundaries and space for myself. It’s important to do the difficult work of undoing the fear and guilt of taking care of myself that dominates my thoughts; this weighs heavily on me and will require shadow work to uncover those uncomfortable thought patterns. But on a lighter note, There is much unknown to be uncovered about myself that will bring me joy, and particularly, let myself get up and move freely to flow and dance around will help with this.... #oracle #charms #runes #cards #catholicwitch #selfcare #mermaid #spiritwork #witch #divinefeminine #tarot https://www.instagram.com/p/BxgIy82DgPg/?igshid=ai259zekzjk0
any other witches with OCD out there? Need help distinguishing intuition from intrusive thoughts from emotion, and distinguishing intuition-guided ritual from obsession-led compulsion

Hey I’m Mads :) I have no idea how to use this app or anything of that nature, but I have decided to start making my own content (I’ll try)!! I haven’t been able to practice much but here is a list of the things I’ve done:
🍄I’ve made sun water
🍄I’ve used two sigils and they have both worked for me
🍄I’ve done tons of research and created a grimoire and a scratch notebook filled with notes
🍄I’ve cleansed and charged my crystals and I’ve charged my selenite with intent and am trying to see if it will help me sleep better and wake up on time
If anyone has any advice or just wants to be friends or anything like that I would love to talk :)

“Love feels no burden, thinks nothing of its trouble, attempts what is above its strength, pleads no excuse for impossibility, for it thinks all things are lawful for itself and all things are possible”
I just wanted to remind y'all that your identity as a witch is not determined by the amount of spells, meditation, manifestations etc that you do. I believe a witch is a state of being with spells, etc being a fruit of the state of being.
