So as you can see this sp thread was posted by @/diorsreturn_ on twitter, you should really check her out she's amazing. Sleep paralysis is an amazing and unique way to manifest and shift. I've always been a void person but I'm focusing on sp now. It's not for everyone but if you aren't afraid of being in sp (which you shouln't fear really) then try it out and follow her steps! As she said it's super easy and don't overcomplicate it. Just do it!<3

Things I Wish I Knew as a Baby Witch

What type of a witch am I? This can be so stressful on the beginning of your journey. Like me... you may be looking up different types of witchcraft and which titles. The thing is you don't know yet what your journey is going to hold. Looking back I connected with different types of witchcraft. The witchcraft that you connect with may determine what title you'd like to give yourself. The good news is you don't have to decide right now because it's a journey.

Keep An Open Mind: To limit yourself in saying that you are a particular type of a witch and only do one type of witchcraft... may stifle your growth in your craft. You don't know what you connect with yet... I didn't. You have already claimed that you are a witch... it's a title. What type of witchcraft you go towards is your personal journey. Being a witch is enough. ✨

✨ Misconceptions About Demons ✨

Of all the topics in the witchcraft/pagan/any community, demons seem to be high on the list when it comes to misconceptions surrounding them. Considering the dark portrayal of demons & the lack of information on many platforms about them - this is no surprise. With demons being a favorite topic of many sites, it can be quite hard to find any accurate information on the topic.

1. Demons are evil

Demons are neutral spirits, and unless you do something to offend them, disrespect them, etc. they aren’t interested in harming you. Demons have better things to do than mess with random people for no apparent reason. If something is stirring up trouble in your house for no reason, that is a trickster spirit, not a demon. Demons aren’t only capable of aiding in negative workings either, and many can aid in positive ways as well. That being said, demons are not harmless, if you do something to offend a demon you will not have a fun time. Not all demons are helpful either, they’re individuals and each one has its own personality, and thus, some demons are more helpful than others. Demons may not always appear when you try to evoke them, and may not be willing to work with you even if they do show.

2. Demons are Christian

While today, demons are primarily associated with Christianity, a demon-like spirit can be found in almost every culture around the world. Demons have a history dating back as far as ancient Mesopotamia, and perhaps even further. The word demon itself originated as “daimon” in ancient Greek, which later changed to the spelling “daemon.” In ancient Greece, demons weren’t originally viewed as evil. Historical texts show the word demon was sometimes used somewhat interchangeably with God, with the distinction of “God” describing the personality of a God and “demon” describing the the actions of a God.

3. You can sell your soul to a demon

One of the moet popular ideas in hollywood is that of selling your soul to a demon. However, this is not possible to do. Demons aren’t interested in souls or any hollywood idea of a demon deal, though it is possible to make a pact with a demon. A demon pact is nothing as dark as anything from movies, and the stakes aren’t as high as rotting in hell for eternity. A pact with a demon, whether a one-time deal or long term commitment, is like any other pact you may make, the demon aids you, and you do something for it in return. This may include: making the demon an altar, doing something in the name of the demon, or offerings of some sort. In the same way working with a deity doesn’t always involve a pact. Working with a demon doesn’t always involve one either. In general, demons don’t work for free, so offerings are still necessary. Offerings do not equate to worship of the demon at all.

4. Everyone who works with demons is a Satanist

The first problem here is probably the villainization of Satanists, Satanists aren’t inherently bad or evil, and don’t sacrifice people or animals. As I mentioned in point number 2, demons aren’t an inherently Christian concept, so it’s possible to work with demons without believing in well, much of anything from Christianity. Though quite a few people who work with demons are Satanists or Luciferians, not all of them are. You can be an Atheist and work with demons. You can be a Wiccan and work with demons. You can be a Pagan and work with demons. You can be a Muslim and work with demons. You can be of any religion and work with demons. The only requirement is your belief in them.

5. You need to sacrifice something to summon a demon

Sacrificing to summon a demon won’t do anything to help make a demon appear. Though it is true that if you make a pact with a demon you’ll need to do something on your end of the deall. It isn’t going to involve killing any people or animals. The goriest thing you can expect from a pact with a demon is a drop or two of your blood. Blood from other beings is no good in blood magick - unless you’re using it as a taglock. Blood in general isn’t necessary in a demon evocation. The only result killing a rabbit for a demon evocation will have is animal abuse charges.

6. You need to offer blood for a demon to help you

Demons aren’t as interested in blood as you may think, and while the potency and meaning of a blood offering is often helpful - it’s not necessary. Even when blood is offered, you’re not filling entire cups full of blood or slitting a palm. It’s a prick of the finger. A drop or two of blood. Nothing more. A little goes a long way.

7. Demons will possess you

Unless given a reason to, demons aren’t interested in possessing people. The occurrence is pretty rare. They don’t need to possess someone to speak to people either, and are completely capable of communicating without a physical form in this realm. The only circumstances under which a demon may be inclined to possess someone is for the purpose of protection or a divinatory circumstance - such as automatic writing.

Hey! How can we find out a deity's preferred way of communication?

Hey sunshine! ☀️

That's a great question and one that I don't think I can give a definite answer on. Honestly my first instinct was to say "just ask" but I don't think that's helpful.

I think trial and error is the best way to figure that out. I went through a similar thing when I started working with angels actually. It took me a while of feeling things out before I concluded that Gabriel preferred tarot reading above any other form of communication, and that only came from trying other ways and seeing that they don't work for either me or him. I asked him once why he doesn't just speak to me (clairaudience) and he simply replied that he doesn't like it, it's uncomfortable. On the other hand, when Azazel came around, I had wanted to get a new pendulum to communicate with him and he simply said, "No need" and he's very eager to speak to me through clairaudience.

Some entities and deities will be straight up about it and simply start communicating with you through their chosen method, but sometimes you have to figure it out and that comes from trial and error in my opinion. Play around with things and see what works best, no one's expecting it to be perfect right away. Also, the way individual entities choose to communicate with certain people often varies so don't think that because your experience with a deity is different than someone else's it's wrong, and don't feel pressured to do what others do if it doesn't work for you. Your relationships with your deities are unique, and that's why sometimes it takes a bit to find your feet.

Thanks so much for asking sunshine! Ask about this on other blogs if you'd like, others will probably have better advice on this subject than I will. Also please feel free to DM me if I've misunderstood the question in any way.

Khaire! ☀️

you can always start over. you can always catch up. you can still be who you dream of being. it’s not too late for you.

🌹 tarot tips for sexual readings:

⎡QUESTIONS ⎦⇁ so, this is a simple trick but priceless. once you run out of ideas, flip what you asked the deck to the other person/perspective. if you inquired “how are they like in bed”, you now ask “how would they experience me sexually?”. i got the most eye-opening results with this ‘inverted question’ method.

⎡SUITS ⎦⇁ the minor arcana excel in nsfw readings. why? the four suits show you what type of tone is set to a t. swords are serious and thought-out sex with sharp movements, wands signify loud and aggressive romps in multiple places or rounds, cups are romantic, sweet and emotional, while pentacles are slow, trusty, and drawn-out lovemaking that’s domestic. 

⎡ELEMENTS ⎦⇁ don’t forget that the suits come with elements as well, and interpret accordingly. e.g. swords as air show you encounters that leave you breathless, wands as fire show you that both partners will be burning up with sweat, cups as water show you that it’s gonna be all wet and spit/kiss-heavy, while coins as earth are a more grounded experience without any horizontal positions, and that the person has your favorite scent.

⎡TROPES ⎦⇁ the major arcana are perfect to determine what kind of sex life a person wants overall rather than the details. see them as erotic archetypes that get to the core of the person. they show central sensual needs and most importantly, relationship goals. and, by the way: the kind of sexy clothes the person prefers to wear.

⎡REVERSALS ⎦⇁ unless you’re the utmost pro with a decade of tarot practice under your belt, or pretty advanced, make life easier and keep reversals out of sexual readings. for other questions yes, but i find that reversals are tricky with 18+ questions if you’re a beginner. especially when you focus on reading the imagery.

⎡DOM/SUB ⎦⇁ if you’re asking about bdsm VS vanilla: swords and wands are the kinkier suits. cups and coins are way tamer. in the same vein, you can find out what type of sexual role they prefer this way. hard doms come with swords if they are strict. soft doms, usually pentacles. brats show up as wands (exception: the king/queen/knight show a dominant). soft subs = usually cups. 

⎡COURT CARDS⎦⇁ if a royal appears for a person you’re asking about, you know that they are experienced or know their stuff. unless it’s the pages, those show you’re dealing with a novice or shy person (cups and coins the most in that case, swords and wands the least). the knights, 50-50. beside the knight of coins they are or have been the most sexually active at least.

⎡ACES⎦⇁ Most tarot readers interpret them as stages of initiation, like a first date, first time. I think you can add another meaning given their number in the suits (1): They can stand for the singular person getting it on by themselves rather than couple activity. The aces tell you the most about masturbation habits. On top of that, it’s how they want to become ‘one’ with their partner.

⎡HARMONY⎦⇁ if there’s one thing a deck can do, it’s this. the tarot will give you lightning-fast reflections on whether your intimate time would be/is/was harmonious or not, healthy or not. should you however get a card that is ambiguous in meaning, focus on how the image makes you feel like and you know the answer.

⎡SPREADS ⎦⇁ for a mysterious reason, the tarot seems to like 5-card spreads for sexual readings. it seems to be the sacred number right here. maybe it’s how the body has five outermost points, the four limbs and head. so, a star-shaped spread works wonders congruently.

THE MAJOR ARCANA - THE MOON

UPRIGHT: illusion, deception, misunderstandings, fear, mystery, secrecy, intuition REVERSED: strange dreams, insomnia, release of fear, revelation, admitting truths

Huhu 😗 I have a question about manifesting someone, you say that some BTS partners will do that. But I heard about free will. Is that not wrong? uwu thanks

hello love, before I explain what *i* think about this let me quickly give a short disclaimer. This is what *i* believe in and what makes sense to *me*. You do not have to agree, it’s up to you what you choose to believe in.

Okay so my believes in regards to this are based on the multiverse theory (you can google this, it’d be way too much to put this here as well). Basically every decision or thought you have creates a new universe. Which means there are multiple realities with multiple outcomes. Meaning that whatever you want exists already. Basically what I am trying to say is that you’re the only one having free will in your Reality, simply because it’s yours.

Let’s say you want to manifest your crush. There is a reality where you are and can be together. But let’s say your crush currently wants to date idk - Mila Kunis in *his* reality. There is a reality where this is possible and happening. Meaning both realities co-exist. You cannot take anyone’s free will away, because there is a reality for them as well. You ARE the main character in as well as the whole production team of your Reality. So yes, you can manifest whatever the fuck you want and no you are not taking anyone’s free will away because you are the only one with free will in your reality. Also you cannot just simply wish for something and it’ll appear, you have to be a vibrational match to it, meaning you have to put in work to attract it into *your* reality. And if you are a vibrational match well honey you better be sure that your crush WILL fall in love with you. You simply have to truly believe in it and put it in the work. Listen to your intuition and let it guide you :)

I hope this makes sense <3
