Haven’t been here in A WHILE

I see that tumblr is alive again or something, judging by my email inbox😂

Came here to say that I created a calendar poster and it’s now listed on etsy as a printable🥰

It’s got New Moons (yellow) and Full Moons (green)🌚🌝

As you may know, I am from Ukraine and we have a war now. I had to leave my home to go to the safer place in the West of Ukraine.

So if you’d like to support me, you can buy my digital stickers on Etsy:

My stickers are mostly dedicated to Wicca and witchcraft, they are perfect to decorate your planner, bullet journal or grimoire!🌞

I am so bad at keeping up with my tumblr😂

Our Lughnasadh celebration🌾✨

It was very chaotic, but still satisfying😅

Interesting🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

Like you don’t believe in magick or in gods?

I think it’s totally okay to check if it works and if it’s real, but if you continue not believing in it and find out that magick is not real, is there a point?

I also have moments when I lose faith and it’s okay! Most of the practice works thanks to belief and Law of Attraction type of thing, where visualization and setting intention is the key.

But honestly you should do whatever, why do you need external validation for what you are doing in your personal practice (when it’s not offensive to anyone, and I don’t think wiccans would be offended)? If it works for you, you have time and energy for that, then it’s great! I am only questioning the utility of that for you

Here’s a life hack for y’all who is celebrating Lughnasadh making prosperity bowls and offerings that can literally save lives!!

Buy bird food at the pet shop, especially if you are going to use it for offerings in forests and stuff! All of the seeds and grains there are suitable for birds and any wildlife to consume.

Also don’t ever leave processed foods (especially bread!!) in nature!

Our amazing celebration of Litha🌞

It’s my first time organizing anything, so it was extremely exciting!

We found a perfect place in the forest near water. The plan was to have a feast and have some chat, to swim, to make God’s Eye and eventually to make our wishes and burn them. I wrote down a meditation for elemental cleansing and grounding before we made our wishes.

A couple of days ago I wrote in my insta stories (@julkooboo) about the fact that, having seen enough of my relatives, who are now happily baking Easter cakes (kulich, paska), painting eggs, washing themselves and their apartment on Maundy (Clean, as we call it) Thursday, I lack a great event and ritualism revolving around the Wheel of the Year. At the same time, I don’t want Christianity and paganism to mix at all (although it was Christianity that subjugated a lot of pagan traditions, I would like to take those back, of course). I had a thought that you can create these holidays, traditions and rituals yourself, but this cannot be compared to when you are already born into a tradition and everything is built for you. To which my mom replied that it was time to say goodbye to childhood. 🤯

It made me think that I really am already an adult and I can BUILD ANYTHING for myself.
