Legitimately just tried to delete my Tumblr and all I keep getting is:

"We could not process your request at this time."

Either a BUNCH of people are trying to do the same, or Tumblr doesn't want people to leave. Hmmm....

I won't give the location, but these were taken at the family farm. One with a game-camera, and two when they came in view of the house.

There's magick in those woods!

Warlock but that's just semantics.

Could you please reblog this if you are a witch who isn’t Wiccan?

Does atheistic warlock count?

Speaking of radioactivity... There is also something scientists have observed called the "Hormesis effect." Basically, when you deprive cells from as much radiation as humanly possible, they become sluggish and fail to thrive. When you reintroduce radiation to the equation they become energetic again. Which suggests we get something from radiation that we need to thrive. We don't know what the healthy limit is for radiation exposure, but it's there...

Also, bananas are naturally radioactive. So is everyone reading this post. And so is the very Earth we stand on, the very air we breathe!

Reminder:

Everything is made of chemicals

Some of these chemicals have long and complicated names but are perfectly harmless

Elements in combination have very different properties to elements on their own (Chlorine is a poisonous gas used in WWI; sodium chloride is table salt. Just because a compound has something toxic e.g. chlorine, mercury, benzene derivatives in its molecular structure doesn’t mean the compound itself is toxic)

There is a safe and a toxic dose for everything (there’s a tiny, safe dose of arsenic or plutonium; there’s a toxic dose of water or oxygen)

Natural does not mean good (poison ivy, death cap fungi, box jellyfish neurotoxin, arsenic and radioactivity are all natural)

Artificial does not mean bad (medicine, increased food yields, transportation, clothes and the Internet are all artificial)

Information can be taken out of context and statistics can be used to mislead (Water (dihydrogen monoxide) is the main constituent of acid rain, it dissolves more substances than any other known liquid, it kills if inhaled, causes severe burns and has been found in all cancer tumours)

Remember all of the above next time you see a scare story about “chemicals” in food or water or read about an “all natural” health product or food! (Of course some chemicals can be toxic. The current West Virginia contaminated water tragedy is a good example. But don’t take all your science information from scare stories in the mainstream media! Scientific journals and textbooks are much more reliable.)

Spirit/Ether/Aether

All of the following post is my own personal opinion on this topic that I have come up with from contemplation and a multitude of research. I do not claim to be an expert on any subject.

Today I’m going to talk about ether. Ether is a BIG part of my magick. One of the most important elements if you ask me.

The fifth Element has been known by many names. Spirit being the publics current choice. The Greeks called it ether, the alchemists the quintessence, the Chaos magicians call it chaos (some, not all), and I’ve even seen some satanists refer to it as the Dragon Force.

So what is it? It is everything and nothing. It is the space in betwren the worlds that gave birth to them. Its the energy seed that blossomed into the universe. It’s what the gods are made of/have access to, and it’s the reason people call on them to give more power to their magick. In essence, it is PURE magick. It is what allows the change to occur from our magickal dealings… And it is why magick is volatile.

Ask any veteran witch/warlock and they’ll tell you that magick will always take the path of least resistance. Since it has the potential to become anything, it will leap at the opportunity to become something that “fits” as quickly as it can. If you don’t set strict paths for the magick to flow, it will turn into what you wanted, but maybe not how you wanted it.

Ether is both energy that creates and destroys. It can be seen as conflicting black and white energy, or energy that encompasses all the colors. And when it interacts with other elemental energies, it can change them in positive, or negative ways. It’s why you use ether to marry the elements together when you’re working with more than one. Allowing them to work harmoniously instead of against one another.

The gods have their duality because of this too. They often segregate ether into its creation energies and destructive energies. But one does not need the gods to do this! And one does not need the gods to channel more of this primal energy into one’s magick to make it more powerful.

I will post more on that later so this isn’t that long. But it can be done simply with a black and white candle in the places one would put the god and goddess candles. One for creation energies, the other for destructive. Channeling ether raw is intense. It’s a heavy energy that can weigh on the head. This may have something to do with the believe that “god energy,” or ether, enters through the head/crown chakra. I don’t deal with chakras myself, but who knows! The gods act as filters and help us manage it more easily.

A couple gods of magick:

One of the more famous gods of magick was/is Heka. The primordial Egyptian god of magick. He was said to be the embodiment of the mysterious and volatile force that the gods have access to!

Prometheus/Satan could be seen as one since they gave fire/knowledge to mankind. They gave us the power to challenge the gods and make reality how we wanted it, and that’s why Zeus/God got so mad over it. Because they hoarded that power for the gods themselves. Supposedly that is haha.

But I’ve rambled on enough for now. Hope the read was pleasant!

Rant warning!

Witchcraft is NOT, nor has it ever been, something to achieve a "higher calling!!!!!!!!!!"

Magick has always been used for the betterment of yourself, the community, or those that paid for services.

WE ARE THE ONES THAT HARNESSED THE WINDS FOR SAILORS THAT PAID FOR SAFE TRAVELS! WE ARE THE ONES THAT CAUGHT THE HEARTS OF THOSE YOU WANTED TO LOVE! WE ARE THE ONES THAT CAST OUT THE SPIRITS FEEDING ON YOUR FAMILY BACK OUT INTO THE NIGHT! WE ARE THE ONES THAT CONJURED YOUR FAMILY BACK FROM THE REALM OF THE DEAD FOR YOUR CLOSURE! AND WE ARE THE ONES THAT RAINED DOWN MISERY UPON THOSE WE DEEMED WORTHY OF IT!!!!

So spare me your damn self righteousness! You are less witch than I! Spare me your false dogma stolen and bastardized from cultures far across the sea! Take your "enlightened" self back to the place of light you crawled from and leave the real magick to those unafraid to harness it!

i just wanna know does bad luck follow me and my family, many bad things have happened to us, starting with things like financial problems, inability to sell things, anorexia, terrible depression and anxiety ive read that people can “throw” bad luck on you could you tell me is there is anything i can do to “undo” the bad luck casted on my family and me so we can all just be happier and calm and not think about money problems and all of the things that are truly upsetting and holding us back?

It would be incredibly easy to just blame all bad luck on magick and tell you that all you have to do to fix it is Xyz. But all you've said so far is just bad things have happened to your family; you haven't mentioned angering someone that may, or may not, have been a practitioner in the past. Most practitioners don't go around just cursing families with generational curses (which this would be since it's affecting everyone by the sounds of it).Depression is all too common these days because of how the state of things is. Annorexia, though horrible, can also be a symptom of being depressed while having the "ideal image" of a body shoved down everyone's throats. Many people have financial problems because this trickle down economics bullshit isn't working too well since the top isn't allowing shit to trickle down. At this time, it sounds as if your bad luck is just a symptom of today's world. If you are absolutely adamant that it is a magickal cause, I would suggest working with your ancestors (since it's multi-generational), and do a severing/throw back spell. Use a black candle to symbolize the bad luck. Rub it all over you (and your family if you can, otherwise just state you will take upon the bad luck of the family before you let the candles soak it all up), take a thread and tie it to you and the candle. Cut it. Then burn the candle in front of a mirror facing away from you while chanting "return to sender."

Just a word of warning to the new people just starting out on their path of magick (however you choose to define it).

Be careful where you get your information from!!! Not everyone has actually put effort into "learning" things they try to teach people.

I have been on my path for 10 years, ever since I was 18, and during that time I spent a LOT of hours researching different paths, reading occult books, and deciding what was best for my path (I grew up in, and still am in, the Bible belt, had no teachers in my area). But I've also encountered many people that were quite honestly full of it. So here are a few red flags for people to be wary of:

1.) Anyone claiming an ancient family line is most likely not someone you would be able to acquire any sort of knowledge/power from. Especially if that line is "druidic." So much was lost throughout history, and the Abrahamic religions have done a very good job of facilitating the gaps in traditional lines. The druids for example never wrote anything down, and even the druidic reconstructionists say that this is just their best guess.

**This is not saying don't trust someone who says their grandmother taught their parent who taught them. But the "ancient" ones that claim lines that survived the Inquisition/Crusades are ridiculous lol.

2.) Anyone saying they're a "natural born witch" and they just KNOW things. We all have had to start at the beginning at one point in time. Even the familial lines had to be taught how to work their magick. No one gets a free pass.

3.) Anyone claiming they learned everything they know from an ancient tome they found/inherited, but they can't show you because it's against their code/they lost it (I've met a few of these) but they haven't read a single book/studied any other legends or paths other than that mysterious lost tome.

**Notice how "ancient" claims are a pattern here.

4.) ANYONE CLAIMING THAT YOU MUST SLEEP WITH THEM TO ACHIEVE YOUR FULL POTENTIAL!!!!!! No explanation here needed, just run, report them, and warn others.

**On that note, anyone that makes a habit of sleeping with their students for that matter.

5.) Anyone unable, or unwilling, to explain how something works/why they think it should be done THIS way.

Just a word of caution for the fledgling witches/warlocks/magickally inclined. Question everything!

And now that song is stuck in my head XD

"'Cause I'm a hex girrrrrl! And I'm gonna put a spell on you!"

can anyone else trace their witchcraft back to the hex girls from the critically-acclaimed 1999 film scooby-doo and the witch’s ghost??
