Kiara 🌒

I hate being bad with words

I wasn't ment for the human language

I wasn't ment to have so many complex emotions

I'm supposed to be a wolf

I'm supposed to just woof woof awooo bark growl wif wuf, not this human stuff

i miss my tail

i miss my muzzle

i miss my ears

i miss my fur

i miss my wet nose

i miss my fangs

i miss my claws

i miss my den

i miss my howl

Because you shouldn't have to buy a single thing to practice magic.

No crystals. No candles. No herbs. No fancy tools.

Just you, your intention, and 60 seconds.

Here are 10 spells you can do right this second:

1. The Invisible Shield Breath Take three deep breaths. Visualize a protective bubble forming around you with each exhale. Say: "I am protected." Use before stressful situations.

2. The Threshold Protection Stand in a doorway. Place a hand on each side of the frame. Say: "This is the boundary. Only what serves me crosses this line." Step through with intention.

3. The Mirror Visualization Close your eyes. Imagine you're covered in tiny mirrors facing outward. Any negativity bounces off and returns to sender. Use when dealing with gossip or jealousy.

4. The Grounding Breath Count Breathe in for 4, hold for 4, breathe out for 4, hold for 4. Repeat 3 times. Imagine roots growing from your feet into the earth. Use for anxiety.

5. The Posture Spell Stand up straight. Roll shoulders back. Lift your chin. Say: "I am powerful. I take up space. I belong here." Hold for 30 seconds. Use before anything that scares you.

6. The Cord Cutting Visualization Imagine an energetic cord connecting you to someone draining. Visualize cutting it. Say: "I cut this connection. Your energy is yours, mine is mine." Use after toxic interactions.

7. The Open Hands Spell Hold hands out, palms up, like you're receiving something. Say: "I am open to receiving. Money flows to me easily. I have enough." Use for financial anxiety.

8. The Five Senses Grounding Name 5 things you see, 4 you can touch, 3 you hear, 2 you smell, 1 you taste. This pulls you out of your anxious brain and into your body.

9. The "No" Practice Spell Say "no" out loud 10 times. Say it different ways: firmly, kindly, loudly, quietly. Feel how it sits in your mouth. You're practicing the spell of refusal.

10. The Crisis Mantra Say: "I have survived 100% of my worst days. I will survive this too." Repeat until you believe it. Use during panic or bad news.

If their support stops at "embarrassing" disabilities, then they never fully supported disabled folks to begin with.

As someone who was born with a disability that had some "embarrassing" symptoms when I was a pup, it really rubs my fur the wrong way when folks claim to support disability while also making fun of incontinence or lack of appropriate boundaries (listed as examples)

sing. it doesn't matter if you can't carry a tune to save your life. you can hum. you can mumble along to your favorite songs in the shower. you can sing Phantom of the Opera or Nirvana or Miley Cyrus. it doesn't matter. just sing.

experience nature. this can mean going for a walk, or it can mean just watering the cactus sitting on your windowsill. it can even mean watching a nature program on tv or looking at the stars through a telescope.

be in touch with the cycle of the moon. it doesn't have to be spiritual (but it can be if you want it to be!). take some time to just experience the moonlight. say a prayer. sing a song. memorize the names of each full moon.

reach out to your fellow wolves. wolves are social creatures. they need family, friends. if you have no one in "real life" to talk to, there are countless wolves online.

present yourself in a way that honors your wolf heritage. that could mean wearing earth tones. it could mean crystal necklaces. it could mean black nail polish or color contacts. you'll feel better. i promise.

Food. Now, I know there's a lot of different diets out there and not everyone can or wants to eat meat. And while it does certainly works great for food that makes wolf happy, it's definitely not a must. How about a berry salad (grey wolves, I see you and your blueberries!) However, if you decide to go with something meat based, here's a super secret tip. Ever wanted to eat raw meat because wolf brain said yes, but human guts very vehemently said no, you will die? Let me introduce you to German Mettwurst. Look it up and thank me later.

Nature sounds. Remember that pillow fort you may or may not be sitting in right now? Well, here's how to make the experience even more den-like. Grab your phone, or tablet, or whatever you have that makes sufficient and fitting noise, find a video of forest sounds and boom. Now with 50% more den-feeling.

It can be hard to get comfortable if your body is a lot less furry than it should be. However, there luckily is a remedy for this sin of nudity. Grab a blanket, or two, or five, and cuddle up. Also, from personal experience I can say that investing in a weighted blanket is one of the best decisions I ever made.

Sometimes you just need distance from it all. Grab your gear and head out to the forest, or to the park. If you don't wanna be seen, go at night (but stay safe!). If the outdoors isn't an option, turn off your phone, close the blinds, and watch a documentary. Let the whole world go quiet for a moment.

How did this become uncommon knowledge? Is it because of the thing lately to be All Nonhuman in All Ways at All Times? Like even I personally do feel nonhuman 100% of the time but someone who feels nonhuman only 10% of the time still fits the definition.
