Raising Dead From My Bed

Not to be like “this blog and all of my posts are queer,” but this blog and all of my posts are queer. Terf and radfem witches are not welcome here. This content does not support you. “LGBT-but-I-hate-this-identity” witches and “You-need-to-be-this-binary-to-ride” witches are not welcome here. This blog isn’t for you just because I post witchcraft. You’re still not wanted. Jump off. ✨

Sit in the dark amidst a cemetery or a forest. Pour onto a plate / into a bowl enough tequila or bourbon to cover it and let three drops of blood fall onto it. Light a candle and set the whole thing ablaze, throwing mugwort and rue onto it. Call to any spirit of witches or strong women or powerful politicians whatever you want and say you open a doorway to this world. Draw onto the ground in front of you a line with a circle at each end. Wait till the alcohol and the herbs burn off and listen in the dark. Bring protection with you and make sure you have a strong and quick banishing spell to send back anything you bring to you. Bam voila you have your own personal entourage of spirits and creatures willing to help you and who may or may not trick you into bidding over your soul.

Most traditional witches are not completely referring to your blood ancestors. Most of the time they will be referring to the witch ancestors. We refer to them as ancestors because we all share the flame which makes us familial. All connected in one tree. Every leaf is a witch, every branch is a coven, every bow is the region’s traditions. And the roots are the the ancestors. Every leaf returns to the soil in which the roots reside. They support the tree.

I think it’s important to remember that you don’t need to know your ancestors and family that has passed to start working with your ancestors. You carry them with you, in your blood and in your DNA. Use that to connect to them, pray to your “known and unknown ancestors”, leaving offerings before a genderless human statue. Use a living plant named in reverence of your ancestors as a living link to them, maybe even feed it a drop or two of blood every so often.

On the contrary, I think it’s important to know which ancestors you are working with. Not all of them are going to be maternal/paternal especially if you are a witch and/or LGBTQ

Definately here for the craft ancestors. Dude, lgbt ancestors too. Ancestry is not only blood. Ancestry is adoption, patronage, vocation, and initiation. Summon up those gay witch ancestors with pride!

May Hestia bless wherever you call home ~

i recommend a spoonful of honey and a stalk of lavender tucked gently behind your ear for good luck

I had to argue with a bunch of crazy hippies this summer about it. Like no dear I’m not trampling on your “religious freedoms” I’m enforcing a burn ban trying to keep even more of the west from catching fire.
