reblog if your blog is safe for trans witches, non binary witches, bisexual witches, gay witches, pansexual witches, closet witches, mental ill witches and all type of witches 🔮🌿
For those in the broom closet, or for those who are open, for baby witches and for the experienced, here are some back to school witch tips to help your school year be magical and spectacular <3
Draw sigils on assignments for good grades/to have your teacher appreciate your work, scratch them out really hard/fast or erase them to charge.
Charm your lip balm to be persuasive, or to be heard!
Draw a tarot card in the morning to see what you should be aware of for the day, or what you need to work on for the day.
Stir your morning tea or coffee counter-clockwise to rid bad energy, and stir clockwise to bring in good energy, luck, and any other sort of positive intention.
If you have a binder that acts as a book of shadows, place sigils on them to keep wandering eyes away.
Glamours, glamOURS, GLAMOURS!!!!! They work so well if you’re running late. I like to mumble them to myself and mediate on Rose Quartz when I’m in a rush.
Eat small snacks to keep yourself grounded, and don’t forget to breathe after each class. Trust me, I know it can get frustrating with obnoxious people.
Charm talismans/amulets/bracelets to help you be on time/remember your homework.
Put satchets in your lockers/decorate your locker to make it a little safe space or school-friendly altar.
Keep the list going! I started school Monday and I’m eager to see what else witches can do for school!
“What do I do if I want to—“
Go into the woods.
“How do I—“
Go into the woods.
“I am going through—“
Go into the woods.
Or if you live next to the sea, to the sea.
Or a desert, into the desert.
Or a grassland, into the grassland.
Or a park with as much treecover as you can scrounge- better yet, make a day of it, leave the city, and go into the woods/the sea/the desert/the grassland then.
Any answer to your question won’t come from another person, but from going into the wilderness. So stop talking, stop asking and babbling, and go.
An important lesson we can learn from plants, especially those considered "weeds", is that if a system does not work for you, grow around it.
Dandelions cannot thrive trapped under a concrete roof, so they twist and spread and sprout between the cracks.
Tree roots will find their way through foundations and bricks to feed the tree.
Brambles will climb up and over fences designed to keep them out, if what's beyond let's them grow.
A sunflower in a pot will face the sun, not the room it's owner so desperately wants it to decorate.
Do what you need to do to thrive, irregardless of what others think you should do.
For the witches and pagans who need to hear it, connecting with nature is supposed to be about like, actually observing nature over long periods of time, not doing stuff like hoarding endangered bird feathers and beach sand, or just meditating out in aesthetically-pleasing locations. Can you tell me exactly when your wildflowers and weeds start blooming? When do your bugs come out of hibernation? When do migratory birds come and go? How does the air feel during different times of year? If you can't do stuff like that, you aren't connecting with nature.
Types of meditation
1. Mindfulness meditation: Focus on your breath or a specific sensation, bringing your attention to the present moment.
2. Loving-kindness meditation: Cultivate feelings of love and compassion towards yourself and others.
3. Transcendental Meditation: Repeat a mantra to achieve a state of relaxed awareness.
4. Body scan meditation: Direct attention to different parts of your body, releasing tension and promoting relaxation.
5. Zen meditation (Zazen): Sit in a specific posture, focus on your breath, and observe thoughts without attachment.
6. Guided meditation: Follow a recorded or live guide's instructions for visualization and relaxation.
7. Vipassana meditation: Develop insight by observing bodily sensations and thoughts with non-reactive awareness.
8. Yoga nidra: A state of conscious relaxation achieved through guided meditation while lying down.
9. Chakra meditation: Focus on energy centers in the body, visualizing and balancing them.
10. Mantra meditation: Repeat a word, phrase, or sound to quiet the mind and enhance concentration.
Every ailment, physiological or mental, is molecular in nature, because human beings are a collection of complex bio-molecular mechanisms.
Every cure and treatment therefore should be based on a molecular understanding. Even treatments that don't involve direct usage of chemicals, like therapy, should be based on an understanding that what they're doing is interacting with a chemical system.
Any "cure" or "treatment" that's based on stuff like "higher energies" or "body thetans" or "the power of prayer" or anything that claims to interact with something other than the body and its chemical processes, is a sham.
Whoa there, pardner! What have you done to make sure that belief or practice actually originates in ancient times and didn't come from the imagination of a repressed Victorian romantic?
