For new witches:
You don’t have to accept everything you’re told, your journey is yours to create. Don’t feel pressured to label yourself or fit into someone else’s idea of what a witch should be. Trust your instincts, explore what resonates with you and remember that your craft is deeply personal and will evolve over time.
I love tearma.ie
You don’t have to have fancy crystals and herbs for spell jars btw. You can use sugar, coffee grounds, leaves, acorns, etc. Don’t fall victim to witchcraft consumerism.
“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.
Made this a while back and never posted it, but I figured I should now that I actually started T!!!

"get home safe" is a spell and i am casting it on all my friends
Hey babe that spell might not be working because your associations with an item may not be the same as another's and how you feel about an ingredient is what's going to impact how it influences your spell!
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.
I don't know who needs to hear this but YOU WILL MAKE MISTAKES IN YOUR PAGANISM AND WITCHCRAFT. We all do, to whatever degrees. Especially at younger ages or newer in our practice!
You will treat deities like Pokémon cards, or appropriate native practices, or lie about signs, or argue over things you are deeply incorrect on, or think every deity is calling out to you, or that you are personally gifted beyond anyone else, or think your dreams are all past lives, or think you can transport back in time, or ffs that youre carrying a gods child, or even beleive you have telekenisis.
You are not broken or incapable, you are learning and cringe and confused (and often a child!) Thats being human. Let go of your mistakes, delete those posts, don't grip on and defend them and kick and claw. You can let it go. Please do.
