!!VITAL SAFETY INFORMATION!!!
On the off chance anyone sees this before going to a protest: I've been seeing people say "sit down if you see someone not being peaceful so organizers can handle the situation."
do not listen to ANYONE that tells you to do this. EVER.
Intentionally or not, the person who told you that could get you or someone else killed.
NEVER sit on the ground in the presence of a police line. You are a sitting duck for the cops to aim less lethal munitions at you. They don't care if you are harmless. They will aim 40mm munitions designed to bounce and hit your legs directly at your head at point blank range because they think it's funny, and if you're not wearing a good helmet, you will die. I've seen it happen.
A sitting person is also an invisible obstacle for squad cars and cops on horseback. They will trample you on purpose, don't give them a way to do it on accident.
NEVER sit in the middle of a large standing crowd. You could be trampled in SECONDS. Visibility is extremely low when 1000+ people are packed into a small space. If any sort of action kicks off and people start moving frantically, they won't see you and you'll be trampled. I'm talking crushed bones, concussions, and worse. You also function as a weapon because people will trip over you and hurt themselves.
NEVER make a protester in a crowd more obvious to the police, especially if they are committing a crime, especially in a climate where people are being disappeared into government black sites, especially in a situation where that person is likely to be brown, black, undocumented, etc. This is life or death. This isn't about whether or not you agree with their action. Put your ego away.
NEVER trust unnamed and unaccountable organizers (IE every one of them you do not personally know) to handle "security". This is how movements are infiltrated and neutralized. You don't need cops in the movement to abolish cops.
We protect us. Respect a diversity of tactics. Be safe. Trust each other.
Food Bank Leftover Granola
Sometimes you come back from the food bank with weird stuff, and it sits in the back of your cupboard for months while you try to imagine what to do with it. This recipe happened because of a situation like that. I had a 32 oz bag of almonds, a bag of toffee baking bits, and a bag of prunes. With some other stuff I had in my cupboard, I was able to make literally the best granola I've ever had in my life. This is a great recipe even if you don't have all the ingredients. The toffee and syrup make it delicious, and every granola recipe needs rolled oats, but you can sub out most of the other stuff with equal proportions of something similar, and you'll probably get a good result. Anyway!
Here's the recipe:
3 Cups Rolled Oats
½ cup plain almonds
½ cup leftover whole grain cereal
½ cup melted butter
¾ cup pancake syrup
½ cup chopped prunes or raisins
½ cup toffee bits
big splash vanilla extract
Preheat your oven to 300 degrees. Combine everything except half the toffee and the chopped dried fruit in a big (BIG) mixing bowl. Spread the mixture evenly on a cookie sheet and bake for 45 minutes, stirring and flipping every 15 minutes to make sure it gets evenly toasty. Toss with remaining dried fruit and toffee pieces when its warm out of the oven, and store in a sealed container.
Serving Size: ⅓ cup
Recipe Costs: $9.43ish
Shopping Costs $24.13 if you bought everything from scratch from Fred Meyers. I don't recommend doing it this way, but you'd have enough to make two batches plus leftovers if you did. The price per serving in that case would be 55 cents per bowl.
Cal per serving: 282 cal
Makes aprox 17 small servings
I want to pick the brains of other witches, because I have some mixed feelings about phrases like "divine feminine energy." Is this meant to empower women and allow us to embrace ourselves in a way the world tries to prevent by shaming characteristics deemed "feminine," or is it just patriarchal gender roles inserting themselves into witchcraft under the guise of feminism?
The idea that women have an innate "feminine energy", defined by a series of immutable traits like passivity and emotional availability, is sexist and transphobic. It implies that gender expression is an unchangable, innate, biological process, when in reality, gender expression (while impacted by biology) is primarily a sociological expression. Maybe TERFS would argue with this, but that's boring and I don't care.
Alternatively, to recognize that you are a woman, you have grown up and grown into womanhood, that woman is both a label applied to you and a way that you see yourself, and to use your own personal definitions of that to further your magical practice, is not bad. Its identity work. If you want to call it divine feminine energy, that's probably gonna be fine for you.
It's kind of a weird balancing act between TERFS and tradwives who believe their vagina gives them magical powers on one side, and gender abolition on the other. Personally, gender abolition works for me, but if you vibe with womanhood, then expressing that in your magic is good!
The blood moon knocked me out!
My plan last night was to meditate by the light of the moon as the eclipse was happening and see what I felt.
Well, as the eclipse began to reach the midpoint, I started to feel anxious. Like, really anxious. Panic attack after a particularly big hit anxious, but sober.
Okay, I asked for this. I let it wash over me. Then my head began to hurt. I don't really get headaches. This was a bad one. It felt like a cold iron bar was being pressed across my forehead, like a could FEEL something pressing hard against my head.
It got worse and I was worried I was somehow about to give myself my first migraine, so I curled up and laid down. And I was out. Asleep.
I woke up with a start, gasping and everything, an untold number of minutes later and the moon was gone. No red, no glow, no clouds, empty sky. I felt like I'd woken up on a different planet, I had no idea what happened, but I only had 3 seconds to think about it because my head hit the pillow again (I literally fell backwards) and I was gone.
And then I woke up at 7am (the time I need to wake up today) without having set my alarm for it.
I've been having a hard time sleeping when I'm supposed to recently. The blood moon said "well let's just get that sorted out"
(if this happens again, I'll probably consider it a symptom of a medical event, but since I've never experienced it before and I think I'm pretty healthy, the moon gets the credit)

cheapest bean soup!
i made a bean soup in my instant pot when i wasn't sure how i was gonna afford lunches for the next week, it was so cheap!
2 cups (1 lb) of 13 bean mix- ~$1.50 from the bulk section at my winco, probably around the same if you found it in a package, honestly any beans would probably do, they all get kinda samey in a soup like this.
1/2 jar pasta sauce- ~$1.25 for the entire jar
1 small diced onion- $0.50
around 6-7 cups water (i just filled my instant pot until i was worried it might overflow, your mileage may vary)
seasonings (i can't really tell you what i used because i just kinda intuitively added stuff. cumin and oregano and garlic were definitely in there, as well as a kimchi seasoning and a korean bbq seasoning so idk, whats in your cupboard?)
I've been eating on it for 3 days and so far I've had it for dinner alone once, lunch three times, and made lazy nachos with it last night to serve 2, and i still have 2 or three servings left.
granted, I had a little more than $3.25 in my bank account when I went shopping, so I was able to get crumbled bacon and greek yogurt to put on top, as well as a big bag of corn chips to have on the side, and that has much improved the whole experience, but if I was really struggling, I could live on this stuff with maybe just a bag of fritos every once in a while and some cereal and milk in the morning.
this could also be made without an instant pot, but i believe it might require some soaking and a much longer cook time. benefit: it made the house smell delicious.
i got an apartment! i can do magic and cook and make a home and HAVE A HEARTH NOW!!! AAAA HEARTH WANDERS NO MORE
hey remember my money spell from a few days ago? I just got a check in the mail from my last job for $500.
do a money spell.
I couldn't handle waiting for the election results so i slept until 4pm. self care.
my last credit card just hit it's limit so I'd really love for that money spell to kick in, like, today

thinking about my hesitancy to do money magic as an anarchist witch, and how it comes from this belief that I only "deserve" money if I "do something to earn it" and how bullshit that is. I'm not the one who decided that the only way to have a sustainable life is to have cashflow. And I'm not someone who wants to do tasks, ranging from deeply immoral to an enormous waste of time, in order to have a good life. I just deserve that for being alive. I deserve security because I'm here and it's available, so it should be available to me!
So anyway, when I do money spells, I'm not asking for a way to make money. I'm asking for the thing they tell you to never ask for. I want money to fall out of the goddamn sky. I want money to fall into my lap. Because me, my family, my friends, my neighbors, we deserve it.
And so do you.
💸money altar, nov 3, 2pm💸
more photos for you to enjoy. none of these are edited at all, i highly recommend a candle in colored, faceted glass, the ambiance is unreal.
💸makeshift money altar💸
This is just a makeshift money altar made from a vintage golden glass ashtray, a green candle, dried California Bay (fragrant, dark green leaves like money, available in my area) and Purple Deadnettle leaves (from my community garden, super abundant, both purple and green are wealth colors, I like to use deadnettle for luck since its in the mint family and for persistence since its a 'weed'), the contents of a double chai tea packet (black tea, cinnamon, ginger root, clove oil, allspice, cardamom oil) some spare change, and all the dollar bills I have to my name right now ($17). Its on a greenish laptop stand because I don't have room for a permanent altar. I'm sitting on my purple yoga mat thinking about wealth + writing this post.
I did not petition any particular spirit of abundance, but all of them. I'm a broke BROKE bitch.
Feel free to reblog this if you feel it might have some use to you as a digital spell.
you can't kill astrology in any way that matters
the funny thing about trying to disprove astrology with science is that they succeed easily, but the only people that give a shit are people who would be personally irritated by astrology whether it was scientifically plausible or not.
these kinds of people tend to see astrology as primarily a categorization system, a way that humans are sorted into (scientifically arbitrary) moral categories. that irritates folks, because it smacks a bit of eugenics and it's fundamentally not a good idea.
but like, for spiritual people, that's really not the function astrology serves. like tarot, another spiritual tool that would not stand up to rigorous scientific testing, it's a self discovery tool. it's not a categorization tool at all!
like, yes, you can use it to say "all scorpio men are evil" if you want to. and plenty of people do. but that's not the purpose of or the most beneficial use case for the thing, and i think for most people who have incorporated astrology into their lives in a major way don't use the system to glorify and demonize their friends and family.
here's how it goes: Having a certain astrological sign gives you a certain sense of identity. For example, I'm a scorpio sun. A scorpio sun, I am told, is someone that is intrigued by the dark, the taboo, the macabre. That's true of me. When I read that about scorpios, I felt a sense that I should look into that deeper, incorporate that part of me into my personality more fully, because I liked the way the scorpio was described.
There are many Scorpios who would not like that description applied to them. They might instead appreciate the description of scorpios as alluring, mysterious, sexually attractive people. They might think about further incorporating that into their personality.
On the flipside, scorpios can be jealous. I can be jealous. Knowing that about scorpios helps me work on it within myself.
That is how most people use astrology. It's basically a rhetorical tool, or a self-discovery tool, or a divination system. And the people that use it do not care if it isn't scientifically accurate, because it is not a scientific tool for oppressing all the Leos, it's just a little bit of fucking fun.
yoga is hard. yoga is haaard. I've been trying to get back into it since i quit my job and I do not have the balance or the leg strength i once thought i had! Bird Dog Crunches in particular are killing me. It's included in this 30 day challenge which I got half way through as it was published, but now 10 months later, I can't even get through the first day because of those damn crunches. And I've lost ten lbs since then! My legs are also too big to do a lunge the way she does one in this video with her tiny bird legs. I've got really wide hips and fat thighs so my lunges are always too wide for my arm to go on the outer side of my body.
I tried day one and had to pause half way through to collect myself, and so today I'm doing a day 1 redo. Not feeling especially hot. But we keep it pushing.
