Well, to start things off you have to make sure everyone knows there’s a very clear distinction between witchcraft and Wicca. Wicca is a religion, a very electic religion but still a religion. You CANNOT be a ‘Christian Wiccan", mostly because Wicca has its own deities and  does Christianity. Also because the Christian bible specifically states that you cannot worship other deities.

On the other hand- witchcraft, in and of itself, is simply a practice. Not to be confused with a simple practice, because I can assure you it is not, witchcraft is a learning process that never ends. Much like a religion, you never stop working and improving. You’re always getting better, improving your skills in the craft, and subsequently growing as a person and spiritually. Witchcraft is defined as “practice of magical skills, spells, and abilities.” according to Wikipedia. In my opinion this definition does not serve it witchcraft justice, but in essence it’s absolutely correct. When practicing witchcraft you learn about herbs and oils and make spells, but the magic is more of a belief system. You see, in order for spells and talismans to work, you have to believe that they work. Some find that strength in a deity, some find that strength in nature, some find it within themselves, but the root is all the same. You must believe in order for anything to work. 

Christopaganism is the defined by Joyce and River Higginbotham as ‘a spirituality that combines beliefs and practices of Christianity with beliefs and practices of Paganism, or that observes them in parallel’. 

For some this means reading the bible and practicing witchcraft in routine mundane ways, like lighting an olive oil anointed candle and praying. 

For others it means calling upon the Christ Consciousness to help them be a better person. ((The Center for Christ Consciousness’s website defines it as “the highest state of intellectual development and emotional maturity.” They also say, “Jesus achieved this [higher state of being] in his human life, and was given this term [Christ] before his name as the recognition of his achievement of this spiritual status. This path is open to anyone regardless of their religious tradition if and when he or she is open to become a living vessel of love and truth on the planet and actively strives to attain it.”))

The short answer is that a christian witch is a follower of Christ that also practices witchcraft, but i find the theology interesting.

not my pic btw

this is seth

seth is concerned you may have forgotten your vitamins/meds today

or even worse, forgotten to love yourself

he is v concerned about you because he loves you very much and doesnt want to see anything bad happen to you

he hopes you are doing your best to get better, even if that just means brushing your teeth

he's proud of you, im proud of you

Here is a small list of somewhat-easy-to-get, and natural fertilizers for your plants (in this post I am mainly referring to plants that are mainly grown for food):

(DISCLAIMER: Most of the info I have gathered is from my own rather strange gardening experiences, so it might not work the same way for you as it does for me. However, that is also unlikely as I have double-checked my methods with other sources)

—

-Coffee grounds : They contain nitrogen, which is very important for a plant’s growth. It helps the foliage of the plant grow, and it gives it the energy to help it grow the fruit or vegetables well. Some plants do not require too much nitrogen, as they may either produce their own nitrogen, or, for some plants, too much nitrogen will not help them grow as you desire them to.  Nevertheless, all plants require at least some nitrogen, which you can give them through coffee grounds. When putting coffee grounds into the soil, you can either just scratch it into the first couple inches/ centimetres of soil, or you can just sprinkle it on top of the soil.

-Eggshells : They contain calcium, which is quite essential for a lot of plants’ growth. Calcium is essential for the plant cell walls’ developement and growth. If a plant has weak cell walls, then pathogens can easily invade and harm the plant. Strong cell walls prevent this.  Plants also need calcium for enzyme activity, for metabolism, and for other functions too. Eggshells are an easy source of calcium.  Before you put them in the soil of the plant you wish to fertilize with them, make sure to wash and clean the shells well and gently, and then crush them into tiny bits and pieces before you put them in the soil. 

Banana peels : These contain potassium and phosphorus , which helps play an important role in increasing crop yields and overall quality of the plant. Banana peels also contain magnesium, which is the central atom in a chlorophyll molecule. Chlorophyll is the pigment that gives plants their green color and it carries out the process of photosynthesis. Magnesium also helps in the activation of many plant enzymes needed for the growth of the plant and contributes to protein synthesis. The peels also contain some calcium, which I already spoke about in the previous part about eggshells. Before you put the peels in the soil, dry them, or preferably cut them up into small pieces and then dry them. This helps them dry more quickly. If you cut them up into more smaller pieces or blend them, they have a lower chance of attracting pests.

Onion skins : These are rich in potassium and calcium. To use them, you can either: a) Simply use the leftover, dry onion skins for mulching. The dry peels will decompose soon and enrich your soil with potassium and calcium. OR b) You can make fertilizer. Use the onion peels to create organic potassium-rich fertilizer for your plants. This will increase their disease resistance, their growth, and for strong stems. This fertilizer will be rich in potassium, calcium, and other nutrients.  To make the fertilizer: Take 2-3 handfuls or a bowl of onion skins and soak them in 1-liter water for the next 24 hours. The water will be colored and thick, strain it in a jar. Your onion peel fertilizer is ready. Give it to your plants about 3-4 times a month. !![DISCLAIMER : I have not yet tested out the above fertilizer, but I intend on doing so soon. I will share the results with y’all later] !!

These are all the suggestions for you guys that I’ve got for now, I’ll come back later with more tips and info later. If you are curious or have any questions for me, feel free to ask!
