#earthboundwitch

Last week, I interacted with someone I'd seen in witch tags that was going by the name of "Neta." They said they were relearning their practice and looking for recommendations. I, naively, recommended they utilise the pathandpractice tag (which I have followed and enjoyed for several months now, but don't post in as I use a private blog). I did not at the time suspect that "Neta" was not "Neta." "Neta" thanked me for the recommendation and we began a brief conversation in the replies, where we both exchanged words about a previous witchblr era we'd both known. I did not suspect then that I was speaking to someone who repeatedly hounded me during that era, who I'll simply refer to as A. During this conversation, "Neta" went on to try and sympathise over understanding the "toxic" treatment I'd endured. I now heavily suspect that "Neta" was in fact an alias for A, and that I was speaking with someone who, in the past, was very cruel to me, who would attack me in replies and, when I didn't behave or react as she wanted me to, would block me and then make vague posts about me on her blog. This happened across multiple blogs of theirs, because they would delete and make new blogs and do the same thing again and again. And this happened again when "Neta" blocked me for speaking with her about the accounts that I'd endured that treatment from a few years back.

It is my belief that the person "Desh" is coming here to stir shite up for is "Neta"/A. I was not "holding a grudge" when I spoke with "Neta," I was speaking with someone who had claimed they were understanding of the trauma I'd endured, and I assumed they had also experienced such things at the hands of the accounts that had done this to me.

Looking back, it now seems to me that "Neta" was A, who had come back to witchblr with a new name, a new alias, a new practice, and never identified herself as A, as she is like to do across various communities. I do not feel I have a "grudge", and in fact have never made public posts about what happened to me, only talking about it with my friends, many of whom were also there to witness the experience and some having their own unfortunate histories with A. It was not my intention to upset "Neta," and had I known whom I was speaking to, I never would have interacted with her to begin with, would've simply blocked and moved on (as I have always done in the years following my experiences with her), and they'd not have had their feelings hurt.

There was no intentional slight, as I was under the impression that I was speaking to "Neta," not A.

For any undue pain that may have caused, I'm sincerely sorry. I hope that A and Desh can both move beyond this, and that A can find healing and let go and move on as so many of us have had to learn to do. Again, it wasn't my intention to upset her. I simply was not aware whom I was speaking to and was under the impression that I was speaking with someone else. Had there never been deception from the start, this would not have happened. I regret that this situation has come to be, but I also do not feel that my very brief conversation with "Neta" should have resulted in (several days later) "Desh" appearing to hurl accusations of "holding grudges," which seems to be hypocritical.

EDIT [Additions and pronoun corrections as of 20-06-2026]:

Fuck it all. I'll post the old usernames, as "A" (who currently goes by Anna, but has gone by other names, such as Cia, Elizabeth, and Banana, to name a few) has been making posts attacking random accounts and users that they've never even had any interactions with, and I'm fucking tired of the bullying and harassment Anna continues to inflict upon others.

Meanwhile, it is claiming in a delusional, deranged, victim blaming mess of a post going after a multitude of people, the majority of whom seem to have no idea who Anna even is or why they've been tagged and lied on. In that post it claims that it has "never had anything to do with me." It never had anything to do with this account, that's true. As I've said before, i switched to private blogging because of Anna. My usernames are private now, but I'm also not the only one it mistreated. there are several of us.

The usernames it mistreated me under were amongwildjuniper, rainintherosegarden, and ean-amhran.

Other usernames it used when abusing and mistreating others were liminalblessings, minneken, unfashionablehouswife, serpentine-eyes, salfige, hrusewif, ghanekali (you can still search this username on tumblr and find minority users speaking on the abuse and appropriation A was perpetrating back then), herbalrog, balrogtheherbasaurusrex, sparrowinthebranches, stormgarden, littlelilacfox, serpentinthebough, thymeforeverything, chailatkes, and so many more.

Anna has a lengthy history of abusing, mistreating, harassing, and lying about others, as well as of lying about who they are (lying about their religion, their ethnicity, their race). It has been called out for allowing abuse of trans people in her discord server community - "Coffin Nail" - and then attacking the trans users who pointed out the abuse to her; has been called out for being a terf herself; has a history of lying on minorities with claims of bullying, attacks, harassment, curses, and so forth, especially minority women; has publicly posted hit pieces on substack to try and ruin minority small business owners' businesses and reputations; has a sordid history of inappropriate interactions with/behavior about minors; and more.

The short and short of it is though that Anna has been doing the same shite to people for well over a fucking decade and they're now trying to do it to users in the p&p community.
