#aro witch

Mortal enemy or not, the Aromantic witch and wizard do meet up every so often for a good pipe and to debate the latest in aromantic magics.

For all my fellow AroAces out there who are tired of this happening 😔🙏

Timing: Best performed on a Friday (for platonic love) or a Waning Gibbous since those are associated with relinquishing unwanted things and warding

~~~

Ingredients:

Spray Bottle

Orange Rind, preferably dried

(Black) Salt

Egg Shells

Mint Leaves

Dried Rose Petals

River Water or Holy Water

A slip of paper 

~~~

Notes: Make sure you clean and purify the river water before use, and don’t drink it. Do not drink this spray in general

~~~

Instructions:

For general use

Get a spray bottle and meditate on your intent with it in-hand

Pour the river/holy water into the spray bottle

Begin adding each item in, saying “Never fall in love” for each one when you add it

Once you’re done, hold the bottle and say: “For no romance but still for love, for friendship and platonic affection, may this spray protect me from unwanted advances and defend my relationships from unwanted romantic feelings.”

Focus on your intent and write a sigil for ‘protection from unwanted people/love/affection’ or a pride sigil for ‘AroAce/Aromantic/Asexual’ on the bottle. Here are some ideas:

You can breathe on the sigil to activate it, or choose to activate in any other way you want

Charge every so often under the light of a Waning Gibbous moon ✨

For use on a specific person:

Get a spray bottle and meditate on your intent with it in-hand

Pour the river/holy water into the spray bottle

Begin adding each item in, saying “Never fall in love” for each one when you add it

Grab the slip of paper and write the person’s name on it

Hold it to your heart and say “May your love for me never stray from friendship. May our bond never waver, and your heart never fall in love with me. May we never drift away in our platonic relationship.”

Focus on your intent and write a sigil for ‘protection from unwanted people/love/affection’ or a pride sigil for ‘AroAce/Aromantic/Asexual’ on the bottle. Use some of the ideas listed above

You can breathe on the sigil to activate it, or choose to activate in any other way you want

Charge every so often under the light of a Waning Gibbous moon ✨

Our group is aimed towards building a community for witches in the lgbt+ community and the allies who support us. A safe place far from phobia of your sexuality or misgendering. A place for anyone to share their experiences, thoughts, or ask for help when you find yourself lost on your path.

During this years [2019] pride month I've noticed harsh treatment or out lash from other witches towards the lgbt+ Witches and the community themselves. I personally didn't feel welcomed to speak freely in the pages I followed or some of the groups. I saw many comments in responses to lgbt+ witches saying that they're not welcomed because of their gender identity, or sexuality. As someone with many friends in the lgbt+ community as well as myself I know being accepted and able to speak freely is very important. For some who face difficulty being accepted at home, school, work, and even everyday life such as going to the store can raise high anxiety and depression as well as stress. Being able to express yourself is important and so is feeling welcomed.

Being a witch and exploring magick is one thing. It comes with its own challenges and negative feedback. Some have remained in the "broom closet" out of fear of those negative feedback from their families or friends.

That is why I personally made the page and group. To join witches of kinds together in hopes of being able to grow from each other and build our own individual paths from kindness, compassion, and acceptance. This is for the witches who gender and/or sexuality is other them the norm as well as the cis straight people who support us, who have family or friends like us, or just simply accept us as us and what we are and still want to support us.

This community is for the lgbt+ witches and our ally friends!

It doesn't matter our gender, sexuality, race, or religion. We are witches.

Part of building our paths while exploring magick is finding out who we are. It's hard enough doing that when we feel confuses, lost, ashamed, or like we don't belong. Let's make a place that will help each of us because inside of each of us is magick and power. You are magick. You are powerful. And most importantly you are welcomed.

Even if you decide not to join our group or follow the page know my statement stays true. We all deserve to be who we are. You deserve it. No matter what never lose your belief in yourself because that's where your real strength lies.

Thank you for reading this far. I hope we meet. Blessed be everyone. May your path be safe guarded and journey plentiful in experiences. So mote it be.
