I was allowed full access to any books, movies, and internet I wanted fully informed about our family beliefs and practices but I was given no supervision once I reached about 13 because my parents trusted me to stick to the rules or not as I felt and come to them if there was anything that I had questions about.

As long as I said where I was going, who I was with, and when I was going to be back and then phone if anything changed I was allowed to do pretty much as I pleased from 13 onward.

I moved back in with my parents after university and the first conversation we had was my dad telling me that if I felt like they were treating me like a child to please tell them because they had no intention of doing so.

password protected my computer so i had to get permission every time i wanted to use it

put a passcode lock on our pantry so we couldn’t eat without permission

regularly checked our internet browsing history

shut off the internet at regular intervals, including when i needed it for university homework

did monthly checks of our bank statements and would confiscate money if they didn’t approve of our activities

in response, i went behind their backs and opened a new bank account, got a secret job, bought my own groceries, and used the wifi from the school across the street. they didn’t succeed in disciplining me. all they did was force me to distance myself from them.

It’s December 1st, which means that Witchy Wishlists is here once again!

If this is your first time hearing about Witchy Wishlists, welcome, and please feel free to participate! The  idea is very simple: make a wishlist and post it to the #Witchy Wishlists tag here on tumblr. (And while you’re at it, you should probably tag it #witchy wishlist as well, since we inevitably get people misfiring there as well) 

Then, when you’re done, check the tag and see what wishes you can grant! We only have a few simple rules:

Your wishlist can have up to 13 requests on it!

However, you can link to external wishlists using your slots!

You’re not allowed to replace items on your post with new ones once you get them. 13 is a big number, and allowing the external wishlists gives you lots of freedom.

Only post your wishlist to the tag once! You can reblog it as many times as you like after that though :D (You’re allowed to make a new post every year, however!)

If you’re asking for physical items to be sent to you, please include your country in either the title or body of your post!

You may also want to include a contact section or leave your ask/tumblr IMs open so that people can reach you!

Witchy Wishlists runs from December 1st 2019 to January 13th 2020! Once the event is over, wait until December 1st, 2020 to post your wishlists again!

I made a post here about the spirit of this event, and I’d ask that you read it so that you have a better understanding of what we’re trying to do here. 

If you’re not sure about something, ask if what you’re doing is going against that spirit, and if it is…don’t do it. If you’re not sure, please ask me!

Remember: Witchy Wishlists is NOT an exchange. If you want to give in return to people who gift to you, check their wishlist if you’d like, but please don’t “advertise” anything you may want to offer in return – that’s the kind of thing that goes against the spirit of the event, and also makes people feel guilty for asking when they can’t offer what others may.

In addition, please remember that you don’t need money to participate in Witchy Wishlists. Many people ask for things that cost no money, or may be things you could easily or cheaply grant. 

You also do not have to ask for witchy things or necessarily be a witch yourself. I use “witchy” to be somewhat vague and it’s up to you how you identify!

So please make a list, and look for some wishes to grant!
