a day in the life of a green witch.

to honor nature and use it in our crafts.

it shows in the way we hang our herbs to the flowers strewn about our home. it's in everything we touch, and everything we see.

we respect nature, and the earth thanks us for it.

if you’re a witch who is caucasian you can’t:

do smudging

practice voodoo/hoodoo

be a bruja

be a shaman

call yourself a g*psy

have a spirit animal

do anything from a closed culture

you know why? because you’re not part of those cultures thus you can’t do or be any of those without appropriating it. also calling yourself a slur is fucking gross man. don’t do it. g*psy doesn’t mean free spirited it’s a literal slur for the romani people.

however, you can:

take aspects from open cultures and your culture

be a certain type of witch

do smoke cleansing

study herbology

have a patrnous/familiar

do tarot

make moon water

do basically anything that isn’t from a closed culture

do things from open cultures and your culture, don’t take from other closed cultures because, again, it’s cultural appropriation

and when i mean Caucasian i mean

Everything about a forest makes me believe in magic

stop what you're doing.

listen to me.

breathe.

it's okay to be overwhelmed at the idea of writing in your wip. it's okay to procrastinate. you have all the time in the world. it's okay to write in it months later, if you need that break, if you can't find inspiration.

stop stressing over your penmanship. it can be fixed. stop stressing over your word choice. that's what editing is for.

if your wip feels incomplete, don't start over. reread, plan, write. save the editing for after it's all on paper.

as writers, we often terrorize ourselves for not writing perfectly the first time. thing is, we don't realize that we're giving ourselves reason to stop writing. nothing you write will ever be perfect the first time, maybe not even the second time.

you just have to remember to breathe, come back to it later, and leave those worries behind.
