Concept: Black Technomancy 🖥️🔮 - The Cyber Witch

Mentally I feel like was been struggling to create content, art, write and even interact on social media, due to massive adhd burnout, during the past few months and year. I feel like I let y’all down but I’m slowly returning to my blogs an social media.

This blog grew super fast and which scared, then overwhelmed me. I got overstimulated and started overthinking everything. I also think I got overzealous and started too many small projects, confusing myself even more. I’m still learning that I need to keep things simplified for the good of my adhd challenged brain while struggling with executive function despite my grand ambitions. Slowing down, for the sake of clarity is something I’ll always have to work at.

Spiritually I’ve grown so much on my path in Hoodoo which has been incredible. I don’t know if I should make that a separate post for later but I just feel incredibly blessed and even more connected to myself, my people and the world around me. I’ve gotten wiser and I’m forever grateful for all things Hoodoo, it’s saved my life. I’ve watched people come in and out of this community, by way of the church, disinterest, witch wars and even psychosis. I’ve learned a great deal about myself and my own mental health, which has empowered me further. I’ve laughed, I’ve learned, I’ve thrown hands with big dogs and made peace with and gained more understanding of the metaphysical realm.

Most importantly my faith and hope in life has been restored, knowing that I no longer will be a victim of injustice. I’m blessed to know how to conjure justice, swiftly and without fail. No longer with head on swivel or on edge as a black woman, it’s given me deep sense of peace and relief. No longer a victim of unlucky circumstances, I am the captain of my own ship. It’s all so scary, exhilarating and mind blowing at the same time. It’s a feeling I wish and pray for every black person to experience in their lifetime. It is a weight that I hate to see us carry, which is why I do my best to spread the love of Hoodoo all around.

I’ve worked and will continue to work hard on my ancestral journey, choosing to venerate them over worship. Through veneration, I’m breaking inter generational trauma, curses and chains and laying the groundwork for a better life for my entire bloodline.

In the meantime, Happy Hoodoo Heritage Month!!

Idk how i didnt see this. Srry anon seems like tumblr likes to hide my asks.

Normally when i create a thoughtform it starts off as an idea...or a THEME of what they look like and what i want them to do. (Sometimes i draw them and other times i use a picrew) And from there i start thinking about how their powers would manifest and like...what purposes would they fufill. Alot of my process involves a kind of small ritualistic conjuring, a ritual circle and energy work. And then i would do a vetting proccess to determine bits and pieces of their personality and how quickly their sentitience or "independant thought" develops. Truthfully a thoughform can be useful for many aspects of life and magic. They dont have to be created for just one thing. Also what differs a thoughtform from a spirit is that a SPIRIT typically is already prexisiting with their own form where a THOUGHTFORM is an entity that is created and has the potential to become a spirit if well taken care of and preserved energy wise over time.

Hello, hello!

My name is Alyssa, and my friend Asabea and I decided to come together to create our first podcast on the subject of witchcraft! 

The world of witchcraft and magick is incredibly vast with many branches and a deep history in many cultures. We wanted to create a safe space where black/BIPOC witches can embrace themselves, relate to each other, and explore different methods of magick. This is a podcast made by black witches with black witches in mind, but open to everyone. Maybe you don’t identify as witch. Maybe you are a witch in the “broom closet”. Maybe you are only just a little bit interested in magick. 

Maybe you are not black/BIPOC. Either way we hope you will be able to feel at home here. We are not experts. We are documenting our spiritual journey so you all can learn with us. Ultimately, we decided: let’s create an educational and relatable podcast that our community can relate to. Thus, Melanin & Magick was born.

Our first episode centered on Samhain has been released on Soundcloud and embedded on our website. We are working to release our episodes on Apple Podcasts and Spotify in the next couple of days. We want to create a safe space of inclusivity for everyone to learn from.

New episodes will be released on a biweekly bases, following the moon cycle; we hope to release new episodes on New Moon and Full Moon nights! Each episode will be on a different topic in the vast world of witchcraft and we hope you join us on this journey!
