I hope so

Stopped reading Psychic Witch because it's just not my flavor of woo. I appreciate the grounding and meditation techniques in the first couple chapters, though.

I was supposed to clear out all perishable food and I accidentally left an apple on my altar so uhh. Oops?

We're at the mall and there's so much witchy stuff that I can't buy because parents and I'm broke :(

Can you get in trouble for that?

I just love my path!! Like when I was Christian I certainly took a lot of interest in the theology and history of my religion, but the love I had for Christianity is puny compared to my love for this new path. I'm close to God, I have great plans and real, personal ways to get closer to God, and the more I learn about my chosen tradition the more I fall in love with it. The more I learn the more I internalize and it's actually doing good for me and my life. I might sound like a facebook mom right now, but I'm so fucking grateful for my path and spirituality and what I believe God has led me to. Pagan pride homies.

Me casually sitting here while my head is screaming, trying to figure out what religion I follow, if any.

Honestly, this has caused me so much stress and my mental health just went (insert sad kazoo noise). I'm afraid that I'm pretty much at a loss in the terms of religion. I know I'm not Christian but that's all I really know.
And when I do find a religion, I have a spurt of happiness with it, then it comes tumbling down on me with my toxic thoughts and doubts. I'm an overthinker which may play into it but this is honestly ruining a lot of things in my life. I truly do want to believe in a deity and gods, etc but I guess I just need proof or else my mind just refuses to believe. Sadly, I can't just have faith…

Same way with witchcraft. I have tons of crystals and tools, a nice altar, candles, herbs, etc. I do practice with it, do spells and all that good stuff but part of me is like "look at this nerd, you really think this is doing anything? You're wasting your time" And i hate that. I hate those thoughts because I just want something nice for once. I suppose I just don't have much luck with my spells therefore that toxic part says there's no proof and it's fake.
UGH it's exhausting.

I'm so happy for you, Owen!!

Not with the people I don't think
Nothing happened and it didn't rot or anything so it's probably fine

:D I might make honey cakes today, or at least some brownies or something, maybe jam tarts

starting to venture more and more into kitchen witch lmao

Yes! There are so many yummy things you can make <3
It's also rather calming

There are!
And yes, it's very calming, I love to make things so it's very fun for me

Catch me looking at the sky asking Ares if he wants to go to my band concert and then going "you're my dad! boogie woogie woogie" when he doesn't answer

OOP
Tell me if he goes tho

On that note, I signed up for a free class on the Dagda at the Irish Pagan School. It was super wholesome and the teacher was great. Imagine a Jesus freak but instead of Jesus he's crazy about The Dagda in all the best ways (like, wears Dagda t-shirts even). Dagda is like the chief god of the Irish pantheon and known for being a father of many and a foster father to even more- so the teacher talked a little bit about how Dagda can be a Dag-dad to us too and a positive masculine role model. It was just really heartwarming and a good intro to The Dagda for me.

Plus winter solstice is coming up, and that's when I celebrate the nativity of Aengus at the Brú na Bóinne and now I know more about his dad!

Thinking about working towards working at a UU church.
But being a faith leader is huge deal.
It's definitely something I'm interested in career wise, and one of the more likely options.

GUYS I made a friend and they're a witch

I went to Applebees and my waiter commented on my shirt (featured astrology and other witchy things) and we talked for a bit. Turns out they're Wiccan!

fucking iconic and hilarious

alsooooo my friend's grandpa went to australia and he had him bring me back a bunch of crystals! i have a geode, a couple other crystals and rocks that i'm working on identifying, and some genuine turquoise. made my entire week

So back at home I have candles from when I was wiccan and idk what I'm supposed to do with them now??

Did a cord cutting and it was a Lot. Don't have normal big candles or the patience to sit there while they burn all the way down so I used tiny birthday candles. And I got some jars and two candles from the dollar store
And I promised Ares a big candle for helping me find something so I got that at walmart and he's pretty happy i think mostly because his candle is bigger than the other two, but he also has two altars now since I left his in tact at my dorm

That's really cool, Pickles. I gotta say, the whole birthday candles idea definitely helps.
Surprisingly the Dollar Store/Dollar Tree has a lot of interesting things that you can use on your altar. I found a cute vase yesterday. It was black with a lock and key tied around it with ribbon.

Pack of 60, they burn down in like five minutes. It's great

i need it to rain because i have n o moonwater to cleanse my crystals. used dirt this morning, which still works but like- moonwater. rainwater is second best so ima go pray for some rain.

I think my cat tried to fight Ares

What did they do

I was working on the floor and I had his candle lit next to me because I was too lazy to put it back on the shelf and she walks into the room, sees the candle, tenses and glares at it, the flames start going wild, then she creeps up on it like she's going to pounce
And then I grabbed her and kicked her out before she could eat the fire. I really need to start keeping them out of her reach because she has tried to lick every flame at least once so far

Lol
Does Ares have a thing against cats?
