QUEER IS NOT A SLUR

We reclaimed it way back in the 1980's. It is the accepted term used in academia, in colleges and universities ALL OVER THE PLACE.

There are so many things that are touted as "necessary" for spellwork - grounding/centering, casting a circle, creating a sacred workspace, calling compass points/elements/deities, cleansing and warding everything in sight beforehand, using dedicated tools, etc.

And the simple truth is that it's all optional. If you feel like you want to do it or it's something that makes sense in the context of your working or your practice, go for it. But if you choose not to take these extra steps, it's not going to result in catastrophe. Your spells aren't going to fail just because you didn't create a circle or ground & center before your casting.

(And honestly, I get deeply annoyed any time I see someone claiming to be an educator or speaking from a position of experience being like, "You HAVE to do these things or you're DOING IT WRONG and BAD THINGS WILL HAPPEN." Like witch, calm your besoms and stop scaring the novices, that kind of absolutism went out with the 90s.)

THE LAW OF REVERSAL: That which is done by magic may be undone by magic.

Let's be real here, you can just renounce your baptism. That should be fine, and I'm sure god would understand. But baptism is a whole ritual, and you might want a counter-ritual for it to feel complete.

One of the few things The Satanic Temple does that isn’t actually terrible (except for their involvement) is “unbaptism rituals” at events like Pride or whatever. Usually they accept but don’t require a donation because that would be gauche.

For people who want that sort of thing, it can be healing especially if they — like you — would like to consciously undo something you were too young to really consent to.

But you can just do that! Sit down with each other, talk about what specifically you want to renounce, whether you want to incorporate fire instead of water, hail Satan or just curse God. Whatever. Like @cryptotheism said, you have options.

All of this stuff was made up by Someone (or more likely, lots of Someones) just more or less recently and reinterpreted and adapted more or fewer times.

But below is an example of a lot lower level of demand than some others, and it might be something that you adapt can for your needs. Or, it could be something you hate so much it helps you realize what you want and inspires you to make something new. Whichever!

This is based on a script of non-theists/atheist types doing a ritual. Change and keep anything that feels right to you.

The only advice we'd give as far as guidelines for a specifically Satanist unbaptism ritual is: "embrace the cringe". It's fine, and that's honestly part of the fun.

So see if you can find sincerity in your ritual rather than worrying about how serious or silly it is because that is likely to be how you get the most value out of it.

You don't need to set up shop as a teacher, content creator or influencer here. You can participate and be a respected member of the community without all of that. It's fine if that's what you're into, but you're not really expected to be or produce a product here.

Along those lines, understand that a lot of us are keeping personal blogs, and yes we will talk about personal experiences, which might not be intended for other people. If it's helpful to you, great. If you disagree* or (gasp) feel that it is UPG... yeah, it's a personal blog. Move along.

Witchblr is kind of a small world, and tumblr's block feature only works so well. If you can avoid unnecessary drama with people, that'll be helpful in the long run, 'cause you're gonna be seeing them around, and you'll probably have mutuals in common. Not to mention unnecessary drama is unpleasant for everyone and, well, unnecessary.

You don't have to share every moment of your craft. Most of us don't.

Have fun, be silly, make friends. There's a lot to learn and contemplate here, but also a whole lot of silliness (and terrible fire safety. Just absolutely piss poor).

I've mixed up what was going on in my mind with the spiritual before, years back. I experienced some highs from it, but I also experienced even more paranoia. That high of feeling invincible is addictive, but that only makes the paranoia worse. Looking at it in retrospect is frustrating at best. I got so wrapped up in my own personal narrative that I lost track of reality for a while. Fortunately I didn't have the time for it from the autumn semester of 2018 to the spring semester of 2020. Then when everything shut down, I was forced to face up to my undiagnosed mental illnesses. It was... a time, for sure. I actually kept that almost entirely secret even while it happened. I'm pretty sure some of my paranoia came from knowing that it all at least sounded pretty insane. I just didn't really see it until time had passed from when it happened.
