Greetings, I'm Grey—an autistic, disabled, queer, non-binary (Agender) anarcho-socialist. I also grapple with mental illness. As an autistic person, I often struggle to explain concepts and processes in a casual or non-academic manner. Consequently, my content can come across as insulting or challenging to digest. To assist me in improving, I have started using ChatGPT. I kindly request that you take the time to read my content before forming any conclusions about me. Additionally, I encourage you to engage in conversation with me. This post may expand over time, but let's hope it doesn't become more obnoxious than it already is.

Now, there are certain things I do not support, and I do not want support from:

Fascists

TERFs

Culturally appropriative blogs/content

Racists

Homophobes

Transphobes

Xenophobes

Ableists

Antisemites

Zionists

Ethno-purists

Nationalists

Endogenic systems

Centrists

Capitalists

New Age bullshit

New Thought

Wiccans

Ceremonial Magicians

General assholery (I will fight you)

It is important to note that I do not align with ceremonial magic, chaos magic, Wicca, or any other formal tradition. My practice is entirely my own, rooted in Curanderismo and Mexica tradition. However, I rarely discuss my own craft, and when I do, it will be explicitly evident.

This blog is a compilation of the knowledge and experiences I have gained, including discussions with practitioners from various traditions. I do not reference magical texts as they are often non-secular and lacking in substance. Therefore, I will not recommend any magical texts to anyone for this reason.

I actively critique any content that may mislead beginners. The goal of my content is to foster critical thinking in approaching witchcraft. With the exception of specified instances, I do not blog about my personal beliefs or practice. Instead, I focus on magical theory. Remember, just because there is no "One True Way" doesn't mean all practices are effective. I incorporate ample links and text in my posts to ensure accessibility.

Please note that I am not a mentor. What you do with my content is entirely up to you. When discussing aspects of a closed culture, I will mark them with an asterisk.

Thank you for taking the time to engage with my content and for being open to discussion.

No exactly, that’s what I meant when I said gesture magic. Technically, pointing and whatnot is gesturing, and I knew someone would either ask or point out my error in not including it if I didn’t at least mention that.

Hey yeah believe it or not this is an idea that pop culture has pulled from the occult. Gesture magic is an actual Real(TM) thing, and has been used for quite some time.

It is, actually, one of the rarer of the occult topics and finding information on it can be very difficult. I myself haven’t spent much time learning it as it does not personally interest me.

Most gesture magic used in common paganism and occult practices can actually be traced from Hinduism. Because Hinduism is a sometimes closed practice, this may or may not be culturally appropriative. I would recommend speaking to a Hindu person about this topic as I haven’t seen anything written on it.

There are other sources of gesture magic. Certain sects of Satanism and Christianity have made use of this type of magic. However, I haven’t seen anything on hand gestures available to the occult, pagan, and witch communities at large.
