I have a question that was sparked by something Reed said the other day.
Does anyone else work with any deities, and if so then who?

Dinoysuis and the local Fae (not a deity, but who I work with so shrug)
(I still can't spell his name correctly, I'm so sorry.)

I'm a bit of a Christian witch, so I stay in the bounds of the Christian god, but I have theories about other deities in my personal belief. I do believe in nature spirits/fae and ghosts too though.

I’ve kind of been lurking in the background of this chat because I’m still trying to figure things out but I was wondering if there’s anyone here who doesn’t necessarily believe in gods.
You see, my stance on that is kind of loose. I feel like they could exist but I don’t think I can ever be sure. However, I do think there’s a sort of spirit in everything, if that makes any sense.

What are yalls opinion on witch names? Personally, I'm unsure of what to think about them.

So you're more of a witch who works with the spirits in the world?

I mean, I guess I think it depends on why you want/need a witch name.

Would a witch name be considered like, how picking a new name to identify by would be?

Not…. exactly…? I really don't know how to explain it, um…

I've never thought about/researched so I don't think I can be of much help.

Taking on a witch name is kinda like naming the persona/energy within.
You dont necessarily shed your outward life, but it is the name/being you take on while performing and/or conversing with other practitioners.

Ooh, that explains why they used it when speaking with me and not in the group chat. Makes sense. How do you know for sure what your witch name is? Will it just feel right or is there something else to look for?

mmmmm– I would go with what feels right, but also something that honors your patron god/goddess.

I dont personally have one, but other members of my circle do.

Hmm… definitely something to think about. Thank you, Eris.

That’s closer to it, I guess? I’m still an absolute baby witch. I’m still in the process of figuring out what feels right to me.

Me too. Anyways, it's not something you should rush, I don't think.

Got my selenite on the window ledge, did a full S C R U B of my face and body——oh the burns——and the incense is ready to be lit. The moon is shining brightly directly onto my back garden and boi am I tempted to go outside to pray tonight.. but alas, I can’t

Any suggestions for a new witch?

Well, what kind of things have you already looked into?

Just some simple spells on pinterest

Lemme ask you the question of why. Why are you looking into them?

I wouldn't rely on social media for guidance into the craft

It takes patience and learning which is kinda fun

Is it bad that i've been practicing for almost a year but I'm still afraid to do more then a money spell, my cards, and setting out offerings?

If it doesn't feel right for you to do more than that right now, don't. Go with your comfort level.

giving myself tarot readings

Mhm. Really it comes down to what you feel is right. Your craft is your craft, and you have every right to choose how you do so. Spells aren't your thing? No need to do them. Divination too difficult? Don't worry about it. It's up to you on how you practice.

I got rainwater :DDDDDDDDDDDd

I found out my spirit familiar's name and she is gorgeous!! Her name is Silverian or Silver for short.

I mostly stalk this chat and occasionally speak up, but I was wondering if anyone can help me out a bit?

so, it's kind of a long and weird thing. in short, my boyfriend's been dealing with this entity that would follow him home after dark, that gave off vibes of insane hunger and showed itself occasionally out of the corner of his eye. I wasnt sure how serious it was until I walked home with him just out of curiosity, and it turned out to definitely be something. very often, it seemed inclined to get us to look in reflections in windows or the ponds near his house? setting that aside for a second, there's another thing that seemed unrelated for a bit. he had this dream when he was younger involving a tree across a couple ponds from his house, that involved him performing a spell and trying himself to the tree, which is definitely dying. one day, he and I were walking in the snow, and something that was following us started leading us to that tree

while wandering around near it, I found a rock that was weirdly captivating for being just a literal rock, though it was kinda smooth. without thinking much about it, he asked me to grab it when I pointed it out, and tossed it into this hole in the tree that goes down into the trunk. I started seeing the thing that had led us there more often, once in a picture I took that day, and just on any walk I went on. we've been leaving little things for it, too, at the tree, and I've been talking to it

seems completely unrelated, until today, when we found one of the ingredients mathew had seen in his dream. I was just out with him and the entity that usually stalks us seemed to just be hanging around, more there than hunting, and giving off a very feline vibe. he had had a dream a little while ago about helping a very large cat across the street, which seemed to click with both of us. so, the two things seem connected and I'm not quite sure what's going on. the entity now seems to mean absolutely no harm, apparently satisfied with something, and just kind of hanging around.

I'm not worried, just curious if anyone knows what might be going on with either thing, or why they're connected?
