Today’s tip: There’s only so many books you can read on a topic before they start repeating each other. Think of all the magicians & Witches who started when there were few books and no websites. Find mentors if you can, but start now. Learn as you go.

So many “it used to be okay to…” laments are really “I used to be able to do this without consequences.” Grateful to live in a world where more consequences apply to real harms.

Today’s tip: As in everyday life, intentions mean nothing if they are not followed by action.

Today’s tip: The point of group work is to merge with and move with the energy of the group. If you can’t or won’t do that, maybe a coven isn’t right for you. Try a study club or the like until you find people you really connect with.

This is what I try to always tell people: food banks can do way more with your money than you can, due to bulk buying deals. And they can do way, way more with your money than with the canned goods you didn’t want to eat

spoke with the executive director of my local food bank today and got this really incredible line: "if you donate 1 can of green beans, we can give away 1 can of green beans. but if you donate a dollar, we can give away 6 cans of green beans"

BE THE TERROR.
Goodnight everyone ☺️
In a world where you can be anything, be the terror in the dark who brings nightmares to men who call their female colleagues "babe".

I think we need to stop calling it empathy and go back to calling it decency. It isn't a favour you're doing someone else, it's you proving that you aren't a fucking ghoul

Today’s tip: I’ve had people say, “I want what you have!” Then when I start training the way I was trained, suddenly it’s, “I don’t want to do that to get it!” Even if you are extremely talented, it still takes hard work to turn raw talent into skill.

Today’s tip: Your Self is the combination of all you have known and done. It is this whole Self you should bring to your magic and rituals. Leave the petty stuff outside the circle. If you can’t, take a pass on the working and try again later.

Today’s tip: You can be both a Witch and a skeptic. Some things you will be told (especially history of) will be utter nonsense. Some will only sound like utter nonsense. Give yourself time to learn which is which.

Today’s tip: There is a value to spells that call for uncommon ingredients. The process of finding the hard-to-find adds more of your energy to the final spell.

Today’s tip: You’ll never learn everything about everything witchy, so just find what appeals to you and dive in deep. Share what you learn with others. Let them share their deep dives with you.

Today’s tip: Many books give shoddy history but solid magical technique. A Tarot book might say the cards originated as golden plaques on the walls of a temple under the Sphinx in Egypt, a fantasy. But the card interpretations might be worthwhile.

Today’s tip: It’s hard to tell someone what they will need for Witchcraft because it depends upon what they wind up doing. Get what you need when you need it. If you use it often, then stock up.
