I’m Alex (they/them & she/her) agnostic secular witch, animist, 46 year old small business owner, vegan, punk, anarchist, feminist, zinester. https://linktr.ee/alexwrekk NO TERFs. No Nazis (I can't believe that's a thing that needs to be said)
I’m Alex Wrekk (they/she) I am an agnostic secular witch and have built my personal witchcraft practice over 15+ years. I am the owner of Portland Button Works and the Spiral House Shop I am an organizer for CritWitchCon, librarian at the Archive of Witchcraft, Magic, and Occult Zines (AWMOZ), I’m 45 year old punk,vegan, anarchist, feminist, and zinester (itt means I make zines). I identify as white, bisexual, and a relatively cis woman. I love DIY projects, building altars, making charms, collecting jars, filling my pockets with acorns, zines, travel, befriending crows with peanuts, my Jackie Cat, Ian B, my house and home and things I grow in my garden while living in my 120+ year old house in Portland, Oregon.
I have built my own practice and I do not discuss particulars about it very often. I call it DIY Witchery because it is built on my personal DIY punk ethics and methodologies. It takes a hands on and trial and error approach to witchcraft. ie: fuck around and find out magic.
I don’t cast spells so much a build them and then release them. From the outside it probably looks like cottage witchery set loose in a punk house of a philosophy student drop out. In reality, I probably draw a lot on folk magic, traditional witchcraft, and a twist of chaos magic for the fun of it.
I got tired of this being so long so I’m putting a “cut” here.
My witchcraft, as my politics, is intersectional and I work to decolonize my practice.
I do not give away spells or take spell requests, but I’m happy to help brainstorm ideas for spells.
Please note:
I am agnostic
I am a secular witch
I am a “soft” animist
I am not religious
I am not Wiccan
I am not pagan
I do not work with deities as deities but occasionally as archetypes
I do not work with spirits in a way that is relatable to others
I don’t work with auras or chakras
I do not work in the astral
I do not work with runes or ogham
What I post here: reblogs of things I think similarly minded witches might find useful but not necessarily things that are included in my practice, my answers to asks, witch humor, pictures of my garden, talk about the crows that I’m friends with by way of giving them peanuts and telling them secrets, and the occasional personal things or reblog-style correspondence with other tumblr witches.

When asking questions please keep in mind:
I do not give spells away but I will help you brainstorm ideas for spells.
I am assuming you are asking me for an answer that pertains to my style of agnostic secular witchcraft.
I will get to answering question when I find time to do so
Please do not send messages through the tumblr messaging system unless we have spoken before. Do not send me message for things that should be asks. I will not respond to them.

My day job is making custom button at Portland Button Works and running the The Spiral House Shop. We have a thoughtfully curated catalog of things related to witchcraft and magic, lots of books, zines, tarot decks, pinback back buttons, and more. I also have an Etsy shop here.
I wrote two zines about my exploration of secular witchcraft, Brainscan #33 & #34. You can find them on my Etsy here and in the PBW Witch Shop here.

Back home in Portland and I just saw a cedar waxwing in my garden! I've never seen one in the city. I heard a sound I hadn't heard before and saw the distinctive crest and lovely black goth eye mask. It was really into the hawthorn berries.
More scenes from the Yacolt 4th of July parade. The Volcano rescue Team sounds really cool like they rescue volcanoes or rescue people from volcanoes, but Yacolt is south of Mt St Helens so it's proximity to a volcano.
The ladies with the neat hair were on a Karman Ghia. A school bus dressed as Uncle Sam
The back of the guy with the long silver hair is my father. One float is an arborist with a kid on a tree with a mini chain less chainsaw, another is a chicken coop.
I'll leave you on a happy note, the last two photos are the library float and it has some banned books on the side of it.
Saw two UFO things up here last night. Some kind of light high up in the sky I thought it was a satellite. Then it turned on a dime in an unnaturally quick direction, then disappeared.
Up in Yacolt at a goofy small town 4th of July parade. I thought the patriotic stuff was silly, but this fucking white nationalist float ruined my day. It's a whole bingo card of fucked up symbolism from the christian nationalist appeal to heaven flag to the black code french monarchy flag to the stupid gadsen snake flag.

Sometimes you have to step out of your comfort zone and read that book that's more than a decade or even century old to learn more about magic and witchery.
You have to interact with literature and media that isn't within your own echo chamber.
You need regular confrontations with opinions and ideas outside your own bubble otherwise you. will. not. grow.
You must be able to read things critically, knowing that picking up a book and reading it does not equal you believing every word.
Learn about how others view the world, learn how people's beliefs work, learn how to intake information without assuming that every bit of information is on a binary of "good" or "bad" information.
This is the witchy version of me telling you, lovingly, to go touch grass.
Also I get the sense that very few people in DC are aware that federal officials wrote detailed analyses warning of the air quality health risks of the enormous 850K fireworks set to go off — and that the admin did not release those findings to the public
Following witchcraft blogs is an absolute roulette wheel on whether you're following a TERF or not and I can't stand how many times it's happened to me. Reblog this if you're a witchcraft blog and aren't a TERF and I'll give you a follow! On this blog we love and respect trans women!

We just got an email from an organizer for exchange students saying that people who own bookstores and open minded and friends and make great contacts for them and if we could let people know about this opportunity. Then went on to profile the kids that they like animals, sports, are kind, oh and they all are very very Christian.
Probably contacting a random bookstore that you do not know and not realizing they sell mostly books about witchcraft, magic, and the occult might make a poor fit for very Christian exchange students.
First henbane flower! First time growing watercress, I made a boggy place for it and set it next to the boggy pitcher plant I just divided and reported.
We now have motion activated light in all the basement lights, which is cool, but kind of unsettling to walk downstairs into a dark basement.
Last night we had a late full moon dance night and rearranged our dining room and it feels really nice. The whole house needs a big clean.
When you are a witch, finding a take out coffee cup full of piss on the curb outside your house might be a thing. @lemonbalmgirl took a photo of it when leaving the house and asked if it was fae coffee. It was not.
My cats are very cute and spooning in the middle of my bed.
I ate my first fresh green bean today standing barefoot in the garden. I love green bean season! When I was a child my mom asked me if I wanted to join the green bean team in a very excited voice. Of course I did! We grew green beans and I've loved them ever since! I share this story with kids when I volunteer at farmers markets with Master gardeners.
