#witch vent

No offense to those who use it and i see it in a lot of my witch stores. The bad thing is all the books I see are wiccan related or have the “do no harm and it shall not be done to you” shit and I’m tired of it.

Baneful magic isnt a bad thing, its a necessary part of life. Choosing only one side of the magical spectrum is unbalancing yourself and very narrow minded. Cursing or hexing someone who deserves it isnt going to cause you to die horribly. If you have the right protections and give the person youre cursing a way out you’ll be fine.

My Tarot: Same!

My scrying: This is true, they say true things!

Me: *Has 3 dollars in my bank account, hasn’t eaten in over 18 hours, car battery is now dead.*

No one in my (remembered) family (known to me) practiced/practices or took part in anything religious beyond Christianity. And even then, the generation before me is predominantly non-religious (I have, like, one Christian cousin), and most certainly non-spiritual. They’re all quite content plodding along in the mundane - this isn’t a slight on them, just what it is.

But here I am casting circles, tempting fae, drawing sigils and casting spells ... And sometimes, it saddens me to read these “I’m an [x] generation witch” posts that read like they’re somehow above me. 

I’m no less valid because I’m the first (and probably last, I don’t want children) witch in my family; my magic is still fueled with energy, incantation and intent. So can we stop pretending like those of us not born to magic are somehow less, please.

I'm tired of seeing others art listed and tagged as every goddess or entity across all of history with no context or artist. We can reverse search photos, we can message for permission, it's literally a few clicks the thing we already do constantly.

You know, im beginning to understand why so many people turn away from modern medicine. I would NEVER in a million years stop seeing doctors for my conditions, but god damn is it extremely hard to be told “I’m sorry we just don’t know how to fix it” every fucking time.
