Alright. Y’all know how this works. That’s $1100 right there. 

Witchblr is not what it used to be (What Tumblr community really is?) In the last few years MOST of the really competent Witches in their craft have left due to Tumblr’s policies and because of the next unfortunate fact. 

Witchblr is dominated by bebes. Now, there is nothing wrong with being a Baby Witch. I love all of y’all. But a lot of the information that is circulating Tumblr is through the lens of a beginner. This means that what started to happen is that Beginners were talking over those with more quality experience. Most of the truly experienced Witch blogs have all gone, and I miss them. 

What qualifies as a beginner? It’s longer than you think.

Beginner years of Witchcraft can last anywhere from 0-7 years. It depends on how much time and energy they put into their craft, but ALSO the quality of their research and interaction with people of various practices and beliefs. 

Beginner Witches are in the beginning stages of learning about metaphysical principles, history of esoterics, and the underlying rules and principles that guide their craft. They still need additional foundation information/tools/resources/help whenever going to learn something. Now, I would say that no one leaves the Beginner stage until at LEAST 3 years in (and that’s 3 years where you researched and practiced DAILY). 

MOST of the blogs I see on Tumblr are Beginner Witches trying to teach or pass along scraps of information they’ve found on metaphysics and pagan religions. I wouldn’t say the information that is often put out is *wrong* but rather extremely limited in scope, and typically presented through assumption rather than experience. 

There’s nothing wrong with disagreeing with where you used to be. But it’s for this reason that I recommend not writing/teaching it until far later in your path.

Yes, it’s ok to be a newbie, we all start somewhere, and I always say: we aren’t born knowing. But that isn’t an excuse to never grow up. That isn’t an excuse to stay in your comfort zone. Witchcraft, and really any spiritual path, it’s about growing as a person through knowledge and bettering your abilities. If your abilities don’t get better, if you don’t learn new things, get a new perspective, or if you simply don’t grow as a person? If you look back a year from now and you’re the same? Same practices, same mentality?, then you’re doing it wrong and you’re now stuck. Congratulations, your “positivity” literally got you nowhere. That doesn’t mean you can’t get out of that though, simply put yourself to work, and you’ll start to see the fruits of your labor.

was there something bad about those ladies?

NOT TONIGHT.

Tonight they kept you safe. Tonight they made sure you get to go home. Tonight I am standing in an alley With a child who gets to hug her mother And tonight here are no pearls on the pavement And Zorro is still on the screen And tonight there’s nothing bad about those ladies

Tonight they’re the heroes I needed.

TOS

I am the original writer of The Sims 4 version of the 100 Baby Challenge. You must credit me and link back to this post if you repost this challenge anywhere or write another version based on mine. I hate to be bitchy about this but writing and updating these challenges is laborious and time consuming and I’m fed up with people copy-pasting my hard work and slapping their own name on it.

Objective

Your objective for this challenge is to give birth to 100 children in as few generations as possible. The challenge ends as soon as the 100th child is born or if you fail the challenge for breaking rules.

These will be a combo of low energy and bedridden activities! Please note that absolutely nothing is required in order to honor the seasons besides witnessing them and trying to admire the things they bring <3
