I Told My Mom That If I Were To Die Before Her, I Would Either Want To Be Composted, Or Have My Skeleton

okay I actually have another piece of advice for beginner witches that I've been mulling over.

I want to talk about ✨research✨

I think when some people hear 'research', they picture people reading thick textbooks or historical documents in a library, or tower, or bedroom or what have you , and they picture these witches deeply studying then coming out of that session with a thorough understanding of what they were studying and can apply it perfectly to their craft.

Now, some people might learn well like this and more power to them, but I know I don't, and if you're reading this and you're like me, I'm here to tell you that research takes many forms.

When you buy a witchcraft book, and I do recommend reading/listening to books, you don't have to finish it before trying things. Sometimes research is reading something you find compelling in a book, then going and trying it for a week before continuing reading.

Sometimes research means being in a community of witches, whether that's two friends or a local group, and trying out techniques they've described to see if they work for you.

Sometimes not getting the results you were hoping for is research because then you can figure out why and it improves your craft.

The point of this post is, don't be afraid to include practical application to your craft. I have spent a lot of time thinking I needed to perfect the knowledge in my mind before trying anything and I'm here to tell you that more often than not, it won't work.

You can't know what works for you if you're not working it (or something idk)

you gotta do stuff and not compare yourself to the image of a perfect witch that you've created in your brain

Gods give me strength...

I am so in love with this man it's not even funny...

If you need the threat of eternal damnation in an endless pit of fire in order to be a good person, then you are absolutely NOT a good person.

You're a bad person on a leash.

God I wanna dress like this so bad.... But I need to donate a bunch of clothes I have already. And none of them are like this. I wanna be the trash goblin man.

I had to take advantage of the occasion to make the joke.

After all, I still love The Smurfs, so here is the content of the canon characters, because I love them very much.

Wassup, Witches?!

This is to help us all through the next week!~

Remember the Magick won't work unless you will it too. It all starts with intention. You don't need all these tools to help you, just you and the universe!

Blessed be, and have a wonderful week my witches!

As a gender fluid, omnisexual, I'm gonna reblog this post, even though, as the previous reblog said, it's took forever to scroll through

The lag is real...

If you support gay marriage reblog this. If you're on the homophobic side, keep scrolling.

As a bisexual, it sickens me that some people WILL keep scrolling.

GET KOSA TRENDING.

STOP SCROLLING NOW!

AS OF FEBRUARY 21ST, 2024, WE GOT FIVE DAYS UNTIL THE DAY OF DECISION OF THE KOSA BILL, WHICH WILL CAUSE MASS CENSORSHIP ROUND THE INTERNET IF PASSED. OR DOOMSDAY. WE NEED EVERYONE TO KNOW ABOUT THIS AND CONTRIBUTE. I'M NOT GIVING UP ON YOU ALL.

WE'RE DOWN TO THE WIRE BUT WE CAN'T GIVE UP YET. IF WE GIVE UP, EVERYTHING IS OVER. IF WE DON'T, AT LEAST WE HAVE A CHANCE.

I'M THE ONE WHO SOUNDED THE ALARM, AND I'M NOT GOING TO CURL UP AND DIE YET.
