URGENT POSSIBLE SW PLEASE HELP

Okay, so my partner and I just moved into a mobile home/trailer. We signed the lease on the 20th, started moving in the next day. The trailer is one of the only ones still standing after tornadoes in December. Today we had another tornado and lost a tree outside of the backyard. Otherwise everything else is fine other than us being without power.

My partner smokes and goes on the back porch to smoke. It's 9:00 pm here, it's dark, my partner went out to smoke.

They had just let my dog in (we kept an eye on her, we know 1000% it's her) when they started to hear a whimpering. At this point it's been at least 10 hours since the tree fell and there hasn't been any whimpering at all until this moment.

They have me come listen and sure enough. It sounds like it's about a football field away but we both feel as if it's right outside our backyard. Without any rustling or anything it sounds like it's right next to the stairs of our back porch. It's louder, and more desperate. We immediately went inside and shut and locked the door. We checked on my cats and they were acting normal then we promptly locked the front door, top and bottom. The back door deadbolt doesn't lock but we put a mattress in front of it.

My dog isn't growling or anything but she is paying close attention to the back door. Occasionally she does the same but directed at the front door. We've grabbed our flashlights and have them by us but what do we do? I'm about five minutes away from a panic attack and I'm seriously worrying. What do I do? We know not to go outside or whistle at dark but what can we do to ensure we stay safer?

Important information, when my partner first heard it they got chills and immediately went into fight or flight mode without knowing why.

Also important to note, a neighbor's dog down the hill from our backyard starts barking like crazy whenever the whimpering is going on.

Please, please help. My mom's going to come in the morning to help us ward our property and we *have* saged the house (twice) since moving in.

It’s a god damn double edged sword and I wasn’t ready.

i’m confused idk why

I have a small ask.

I've started school again recently but I moved schools so I'm now centred in the city. I'm getting headaches quite often and am feeling really overwhelmed. I ga e a sigil on my bag (that I made specifically for this whole situation), my veil on or on me at all times and a butt load of crystals. But this stuff still happened. I also drink tea almost every morning.

Maybe if I read something like this I would have started Deity veneration a long time before? Well I don't know, because my situation was a bit different. But still it really resonated with my situation back in the days. So maybe reading something similar to what I'm about to tell you would have helped.

So, you really wish to start Deity work/worship but you're so overwhelmed by the internet or by the many Pantheons that exist, or maybe because even if you know the Deities that you will love to worship one day you don't feel connected to them at this moment (part of what happened to me), even if it's your favourite Deity from childhood.

When I talk about "being overwhelmed by the internet" I'm especially talking to the beginners. You see so many pages about Norse Gods or Greek Gods and you think that you should go with it because everyone does it.

Please don't think like that! I don't know if this has happened to someone but I was accidentally doing it and I was tired of seeing literally every post about Hellenism. I was tired. And let me tell you how an idiot I was. I LOVE the Hellenic Gods. I loved them since I was a child at school reading their myths, and I will forever love them and the history of their land. It was all this social agglomeration that drove me mad.

You don't have to do what everyone does! Or maybe because you're just starting and you don't find information about what you really wish to do... Trust your intuition! Not the Internet! You want to worship both Tyr and Zeus? But you can't find someone that worships them together? So you throw out your ideas? NO. Start worshipping them. You love them. They're Badass.

Now let's talk about if you don't "feel" any of the most famous Pantheons or if you don't know where to start.

I suggest you to do this: it's something that I find soooo important and I'm excited to share this thought with you and I really hope it will help.

Start to look at what your ancient ancestors or the people of your Land worshipped back in the ancient times.

An example for clearing this: you're French. Start researching what the Ancients of your land worshipped! Who the Gauls, the Franks, the Bretons worshipped?

Don't just find a deity connected to them and worship, start with doing research. Start reading the folklore, the mythology... and maybe you will feel something. Maybe you will feel warm, suddenly at home... and one Deity will pop up saying "hello, I'm here" to you, or "I was waiting for you".

Your ancestral blood is warming your body, and you will feel more powerful than ever.

This. This is what happened to me.

When I really started to connect with my land. And I can tell you that's one of the most beautiful sensations in the world.

I feel the ancient power of my land, of the people of my land in my blood, in my soul, just for worshipping Deities that they worshiped too. That they asked for help. That they offered libations of wine and fruits...

I love my Deities so much. And I'm writing this for them, as an offering, and as a Thank You for being in my life. I'm grateful everyday for venerating them.

And I really wish that you will feel this season too. And most importantly that you will find your true Deities. That you will feel at home with them.

And.... maybe.... if you do your research but you don't connect even with the Deities of your Land, maybe it's just not the right time! Trust your intuition, trust the universe.

The time will come.

If you came to this point, thank you for reading what my thoughts had to say!

I hope this will help you.

Glory to the Gods

Until next time,

Ok, so i just saw someone say that 'evil' witches are devil worshippers.

Now, im not saying they CANT be. But thats incorrect. Its incorrect to generalize it. Not all witches who practice dark magick are devil worshippers. Some don't even believe that the devil exists. And viseversa. Not all devil worshippers are dark magick practitioners. Some arent even witches. Its just like not all witches are wiccans and not all wiccans are witches.

Its also wrong to accuse witches who use practices that are known as 'bad' of being evil. Those practices arent necessarily bad. Practices like voodoo, hoodoo, santería, brujería, normal dark magick, etc. (also all of the ones i mentioned here are closed except the last one so please dont use them if you dont belong to them or their cultures!) are often accused of being bad. Why? Because of stupid generalization, thats why.

I'm not saying witches who use those practices cant be bad or evil. I'm just saying that not all of them are. Why are those practices famous for being wrong/bad/evil? Because of people who used it that way. Not everyone who practices them is like that and not everyone uses it for bad things.

Voodoo and hoodoo were used by enslaved people to get revenge and justice towards their enslavers and it was also used to help other people who were suffering. Is that bad? N o.

Hexes and curses were and are still used to get revenge and justice for people who harm, people who arent good people. Is that bad? No.

Can they be used just to harm people without any good reasons or out of spite or selfish reasons? Of course, everything can.

But why only see that side of things? Why only take the stereotypes and generalized/popularized things as a fact? To me, that is wrong.

So please, do not assume things. Research, get facts, inform yourself.

That's it haha sorry for my rant but I think this an be helpful for some people :).

This meditation is meant to help beginners who struggle to focus during meditation, assist those who wish to learn how to manipulate energy as well retrain those who may just need a refresher.

Start by getting into a comfortable position either sitting up with your back straight or lying down, whichever is easiest for you. Calm yourself, relax and softly slip into a meditative state, train your focus to your physical body, become aware of how relaxed and almost numb you become, then lift your focus right above your skin, feel and visualize your personal energetic field above you and all around you. Take in it's shape, color, texture and the way it moves around and within you. Is it right above your skin? Or is there space between your physical self and your energy? How much?

Take a moment to answer all these questions and take note of them, becoming intune with your personal energy is of high importance for this exercise.

Once you are comfortable and aware of your energetic field, begin to become fully aware of your breathing, breathe softly but deeply, note it's rhythm, the rise and fall of your chest, and link your energy to your breath. As you breathe in, visualize, feel and allow your energy to expand and swirl larger around you, and as you breathe out, shrink your energy back to you. Keep this up for as long as you can hold, or until it feels like second nature.
