#hidden witch

I have always loved MollyLee Knox Ostertag's work, in particular the really cute, heartwarming tact of the Witch Boy trilogy's trans allegory and the way it feels so well built to walk that fine line of appropriately nuanced but still perfectly digestible for its intended teen audience.

Well The Deep Dark is more of precisely that style of writing and it blows me away just as much now as Witch Boy did the first time I read it. It's exactly the kind of book I wish I'd had as a kid, and the sort of thing that lights a little hopeful flame in the jaded dark corners of my heart. It's the sort of thing that helps me feel optimistic about a generation of kids who will grow up with this kind of story as their formative personal mythos.

I know I don't usually do reviews or recommendation on this blog so I dunno who this is for really, and it certainly won't have any particular reach, but if you find yourself with the chance to, I really can't recommend The Deep Dark enough. And of course everything else Molly Lee Knox Ostertag has had a hand in, even the one's she's not been the sole author on.

It dangerous

And no one needs the exact use in my craft make it your own so your spells and etc are connected to you not what I use connected to me.

I don't have anything linked to my witchcraft learning pages ,not one picture of my face or my actual social media bc I don't want my face connected to witchcraft.

I do not tell people I am a witch or share my actual spells or craft with anyone bc it's personal and sacred to me. I am who I am in public but also get worried or bring followed home or hate crimed .

I have a witch insta but my face is not on it or connected to my actual life or face. I do not put anyone as a witch if I happen to have a witch friend or people tell me their witches I don't out them or say anything.

Even though it's more normalized now it doesn't make it more safe.

Four Elements in my Gemstone style~♥ Individual elements and the group are available now in my shop! It would really mean a lot to me if you reblogged this post in addition to liking it!

I work in a very very Christian State, so I can’t exactly bring my witch stuff to work with me, if I need an extra pick me up. So here are some things I do to keep my groove going through out the day. 

1. Since it’s Rona time still, I clean my station between customers. I say a small, silent prayer to bless the cleaner with good intention and prosperity. 

2. I make sun water before I go to work and drink it thoughout the day. (stay hydrated)

3. I keep my notes app open all day and write down little positive messages. It makes my deities happy to know I’m taking time for myself. 

4. I clean up trash in the parking lot on my way in and out, making the Earth happy. 

5. I have enchanted my My Hero Academia lanyard with good vibes, so I can have a good day at work. 

6. I try to color code my outfits, to incorporate color magic. 

7. I do a nice self care ritual before I go into work, to make myself happy. 

I finally cleaned and tidied my altar! To energetically clean I used a cleaning potion (made by a wonderful witch friend, it has cedar, sage, palo santo and sandal) and I light an incense, this time it was of lavender, handmade with dried herbs harvested close to home.
