The Sheesh

The Hiding Place

Going down the witchblr tag is something that I do pretty often to keep my queue going and also to give attention to some lesser known witchblr blogs. It has become more and more often that I am seeing a lot of discourse (often seeing all different sides). There is nothing wrong with that. You have a right to share your opinion (tho you are not exempt from being judged for that opinion). I tend not to reblog discourse posts that has a subject that I am not fully educated on.

Here are the current Witchblr discourse trends as of 08/24/2019:

Blogs dedicated to spying in witchy discords and taking screenshots of “cringy witchy behaviors” for their blog

The effectiveness of doing spells/sigils/etc for the Amazon fires

Whether or not using honey is ethical 

The effectiveness of substituting items in spells that were created by someone else. 

Different interpretations of hellenism and kemeticism and which one is the “right” one

Twin Flames and how they work, what they are, how to find yours, and if a twin flame can be abusive or not.
