Not every witch is comfortable with the phrase “blessed be” being used towards them for a number of reasons, the most common ones being that they don’t wish to have your specific deity’s attention drawn towards them, and they’re not following the same religion as you or even a religion at all. It’s a polite thing to avoid doing in general, but especially if the other person has voiced their discomfort with it. Instead you can use:

“Farewell”

“To your health” 

“Merry met”

“Until we meet again”

“Until then”

“Pleasant travels”

“Merry journey”

“Good health to you”

“Good fortune to you”

“Love and light”

“Until our paths cross again”

“Happiness to you and yours”

“Fair winds”

“May your journey be swift”

“Well met”

“May the winds carry you safely”

“May your forge burn bright”

“Go with peace and love”

“Guidance and clarity find you”

hey, i’ve been out of my practice for a while and i want to get back in it. i can’t follow you because this is a sideblog but i will be keeping track of the notes

especially looking for blogs about:

tech magic

pop culture magic

urban witchcraft

- intrusive thoughts won’t affect your magic or draw bad things into your life because there’s no intent behind them

- your deities are smart enough to know that you don’t mean your intrusive thoughts and to therefore not act on them or be offended by them

I do want to emphasize, again, that cults (and toxic groups with cult-like attributes, I’m using this term pretty loosely) don’t usually look like what you’d expect. A lot of toxic and dangerous religious movements are tiny and you won’t find much about them via Google. Cultish non-religious movements are the same way.

Start-ups, multi-level marketing companies, activist groups, fan groups, political groups, and internet gurus who run retreats can all be cult-like and dangerous. Tune your BS detector, ask family, friends, and experts for advice.

Here are some warning signs:

Pressure – pressure to make quick decisions, to give (or pledge) considerable amounts of money, to move in with a group, to abandon family or cut off friends. Elevated Leaders – anyone claiming special insight, special powers, or that they aren’t human. Demanding special treatment (compared to other followers). Misuse of funds or money collecting at the top. physical, emotional, and/or sexual abuse. Lack of accountability or oversight. Isolation – encouraging (or requiring) members to cut off family relationships, friendships with those outside of the group, leaving jobs, moving to isolated areas, taking away communication methods. Strong “us-vs-them” mentality. Vilification of ex-members. Love-bombing. Altered states of consciousness – long work hours, sleep deprivation, lack of access to adequate food or water. Otherwise unproblematic activities like meditation/prayer/chanting, but done for hours. Discouraging doubt – discouraging or punishing doubt and critical thinking.
