Mediation Resources For The Witch Who Can’t Meditate 💫

Howdy! It’s your friendly neighborhood witch here FINALLY back with some witch tips. It feels like its been forever since I’ve made a genuine Tumblr post so here I am! I have a lot more free time + free space to really enhance my practice so I’ve gotten a second wind when it comes to witch blogging! 

Anywho, that brings me into today’s topic: Meditation! I personally HATE the act of meditating like listening to guided meditations and doing deep breathing- it really irks me. I can never quiet my mind enough and I end up getting really frustrated. What i’ve realized now is that meditation isn’t all that black and white. 

If I don’t do traditional meditations...then how do I meditate?

For me, i successfully meditate when I’m able to hyperfocus on a task for the pure joy of it. The ability to hyperfocus on something really brings me into that meditative mindset. Meditation- to me- is just giving your mind the ability to do whatever it pleases. In the ADHD world, we call this chasing the dopamine. 

Another Method: Mind Retreat

Another method to go about reaching that meditative mindset is to take a few moments to close your eyes, and really listen to what thoughts you’re having. Don’t try to filter yourself, just let your brain THINK! Listen to what your mind is telling you, and just let all of your thoughts flow freely, without judgement. Do this multiple times a day, just to give yourself a truly *safe* space to THINK! 

Meditation and Ritual 

You may often hear people telling you that you need to meditate before any spell/ritual/etc. This is true- to an extent. Many practitioners (to no fault of their own) will emphasize the importance of a completely clear mind when performing rituals/spells/etc. THIS IS TRUE, but for me having my mind completely clear is quite literally impossible. I used to fault myself for not being able to meditate “correctly” and not being able to have a clear mind when I was practicing. BUT NOW I understand that it’s not about literal clearness of the mind, but rather clarity of the mind. Those may seem like they are the same thing but when I think of a “clear mind” i think like- no thoughts (which i thought to be impossible but my mother informed me neurotypicals don’t have a constant never-ending monologue going on in their head) where clarity is a focus on the task at hand. Therefore, getting into that calm, meditative mindset is beneficial when going to perform rituals. 

Other Meditation Resources

I know that my approach to meditation is a bit different than what you may regularly envision, so I’ve linked a few other resources to help you along your journey. Feel free to leave me a DM or an ask (can’t promise I will remember to check my asks lol) if you have any questions or just want to talk :) 

Yoga With Lakshmi- Yoga can be very beneficial when thinking about meditation, as it’s a peaceful and calm way to approach clarity of the mind whilst also taking care of your body. 

5 Senses Grounding Exercise- I made a post about grounding (FIND IT HERE) a while back but here is another exercise to help ease anxiety and reach clarity of the mind. I’m sure you’ve heard of this one lol

Mediation Playlist- This is a playlist I found with a bunch of videos about meditation and meditation-adjacent things (I will be honest with you, I haven’t watched all of them but I want to give y’all multiple different types of resources) 

THERE ARE TONS OF GUIDED MEDITATIONS ON YOUTUBE IF THAT’S UR JAM! 

REMEMBER...

Meditation looks different for everyone, so don’t bring yourself down if you see someone doing something differently! Meditation is just another useful tool to help you in both your practice and your daily life. Remember you are important, you are loved, and you are going to do great things. Have a good day :)

Vlogger Sirius, responding to the comments on his Witchgram profile:

"To everyone asking me to take a pic\vid with 'my cute black dog' - I AM THE DOG. It's called being an animagus, read it up on Witchypedia (good article, but I don't recommend trying at home if you don't have someone who can teach you). I'll ask my wife to take more pics of my dog form later, thanks for saying I'm cute tho. I feel cute when I'm in that form 🐶🐶🐶🌟"

CitrineMystic's Guide to Navigating Witchcraft Spaces on Social Media

Do your own research on any information you come across

Be wary of spiritual predators - don't trust people that reach out to you saying they were 'called' to teach you, or offer deals that are too good to be true.

If you're going to make any kind of graphic or image to post online, make sure you put a watermark on it so that even if it gets reblogged or re-uploaded by someone else, it's still identified as your work.

Do your own research on any information you come across.

Don't worry if your practice doesn't look like the practices of others.

Remember that you only see what the people posting on social media want you to see.

Don't be afraid to use your unfollow and block buttons.

Do your own research on any information you come across.

Take breaks from social media when you need to.

Remember that there are people on the other side of the screen, and if you wouldn't say what you're about to comment to someone's face, you probably shouldn't be commenting it at all.

Do your own research on any information you come across.

Remember that you don't have to completely agree with someone's opinions to still find their content enjoyable.

Understand that most experienced readers and teachers know the value of their experience and expertise, and will charge accordingly.

And finally, do your own research on any information you come across.

Hello my dear Sisters and Brothers!

So Hecate I know what you are going to say, that I want to follow a fashion … Except that before judging read this post! I will be frank with you until the last minute I still hesitate to publish this post. For fear of criticism … But I have to talk about it too. To tell you why # Hecate.

You should know that this month it’s been 9 months since I started as a Witch. Since the beginning in all my research on any subject in witchcraft, I fall back on Hecate. Just yesterday I was doing more research on Danu and ended up on a YouTube video that talked about Hecate. But until a few days ago I “denied” it all because I didn’t want to be like the others and I was afraid of criticism. But my dear Arialdiel yes yes again she told me that I could not continue like this. That I had to go to her.

I hesitated a little while then yesterday at the end of the day I took a hot bath as usual! When I was leaving I felt the need to draw a symbol on my face in water (I will show you in the story), then to close my eyes, then instinctively I asked if it was Hecate and if the symbol that I had made with the water on my face represented the link between her and me. And to my surprise 2 times very quick but understandable answers. At each question, still with my eyes closed, I saw her smiling face with a cloak hood over her head darkening me directly. And these 2 times I had this feeling of well-being, appeasement and freedom.

As soon as I think of Hecate I see her almost as in the picture. As I explained not long ago to me Hecate represents the full bright moon. It illuminates our dark side.

Hope the posts get you more.

Join Me on Instagram!

I feel really bad that I can’t follow a lot of my followers back on this blog since it’s actually a side blog. If I was to follow you back, it’d just look like you got a random new follower instead of a follow back.

So...I made an Instagram for QCraft! However, QCraft was already taken so the instagram is actually Queer.Craft and I’ll start posting soon! I want to be interactive with my followers more than I am on here, especially since I intend to make witchy how-to videos on YouTube soon and I’d like to see what kind of things you’d all like to see.

I promise to follow back if you follow the Queer.Craft Instagram! I’ll be soon uploading posts of my crystals, boxes, smudge spray, plant, and notebook collection. (Please, if I post about buying more notebooks, yell at me to stop! It’s an ADDICTION!)
