Do you ever see the spirits running with the breeze?

Jumping over walls and flying over trees?

Do you see how they shift the clouds and paint the skies?

Or the guardian rocks who's presence may surprise?

Still as they are, observant, and oh so calm?

What about the Storm bringers who's rain and hail could shake the veil?

#spirit stuff #prose #? #hello again #its been awhile

[curiousanomaly]

When talking with the storm, I found they like a challenge >:)c

So I challenged them.

#it’s more of a playful thing #nature #love the energy from them too!

If I had a nickel for every time the Doctor had to yell for the driver to stop while channelling so we didn’t get into a wreck I’d have two (2) nickels. Which isn’t a lot but it’s weird it happened twice.

#good to know he’s on top of things #thank you Sir I owe you my life #we were the passengers in both instances

adore is such a soft word...

I adore you. I adore the way your eyes light up when you're excited. I adore everything about you. I look upon you in adoration. I adore your affection and what it does to me. I adore you

so yeah, anyways...adore

Anyway here's my opinion of the day:

If you only study witchcraft, you're not going to be the best witch you can be. If you're going to use herbs, study botany. If you're going to use meditation and mindfulness, study theraputic methods like DBT and CBT. If you're going to use astrology, study astronomy. If you're going to use cooking and baking and drinking, study gastronomy and mixology. If you're going to use crystals, study geology. If you're involving paganism that has its roots in a particular time and place, study their histories and cultures. If you're a technowitch, study computer science.

Science and magic aren't opposing one another, they work hand in hand. Only by truly understanding the world around you can you utilise it to the best of your abilities. There gets to a point where cutesy little affiliation lists and emoji spells on Tumblr isn't going to help you any more.

So I bought a new deck for divination. It’s a crystal deck and man is it awesome.

Like I found it randomly at the store sitting out alone on a shelf. Someone had randomly placed it there when they changed their mind I guess.

It is so cool. I have only had it for a little while but it’s already helped a lot!

I asked it for some suggestions for a thing and one of the crystals it threw at me was pyrite. Which had been the third time it was mentioned in the week.

Fun coincidence.

Tonight I asked it what else it would suggest along with what the original card I went with was.

It tossed out two more suggestions and after a bit of thought on its part it spat out the third card.

Pyrite.

I have shuffled and shuffled this deck to make sure I’ve separated and mixed up all the cards over and over again.

#I’m just really happy with this one #I’ve also found like 2 more decks I want to get #but I need to calm down #haha #still getting to know my other decks tbh #divination

What do you do when you're speaking with an entity with whom you're already familiar- you know their energy, their voice, all that- but you find out that you just made up your last interaction with them? The entity I'm talking about is one I've communicated with several times before, but I was getting an "off" vibe this time around, and asked him to tell me something only he would know. He answered incorrectly, which made me realize that I was imagining that particular interaction.

When dealing with practices that exist almost entirely in your perception without physical evidence I feel that it can be hard not to fill in spaces where you expect input, but aren’t getting it. And, I also find, we often fill in those spaces with what we want, or what we think will be cool. Since you were already interacting with this entity, especially if instances where you reached out an got no response were rare, it seems perfectly natural for your mind to fill in expected blanks. I feel that more spirit workers need to be aware of this possibility for our minds to sock puppet the entities we work with. I don't hear it discussed often, and I think it should be a bigger topic of conversation. It's nothing to be ashamed of, or even really worried about, but something to keep in mind and be aware of so you can identify when it happens like you did, Anon. You did exactly what I would do in this situation. You thought critically, tested the entity when something felt off, and were aware enough of yourself to identify the imaginary interaction for what it was. There's nothing you can do about this interaction that already happened, but you can take steps and train yourself to catch them faster. I suggested this for maladaptive daydreaming, but I’ve found mindfulness exercises to be very helpful here as well, they help me become familiar with my own thought patterns. This makes it easier for me to pick up on something that seems too in line with my own usual thought patterns. Does an entity sound like my internal voice? Do they rarely disagree with me? Always like the same things I like? If I say no to them, do they just roll over? Those would make me question the validity of an entity, whereas one that challenges me or expects me to make compromises in my relationship with them will seem more independent and legitimate. I also strongly recommend being honest and frank with your input methods. The Sight is not foolproof. Use external tools to spot check interactions that that via intuition or metaphysical sense. Preferably ones that are hard to manipulate but have clear cut meanings, such as cards or runes. Hold yourself accountable for your interpretations. Don’t let yourself just pick out the interpretations that you want, consider the whole meaning critically.

I also strongly recommend slowing down. Anyone who’s talked to me much here knows that I’m all about a slow and steady approach, but in a search for instant gratification one is more likely to cut corners and fill in questions and blank spaces with what they want to be true, not with what it actually true. So if an entity doesn't respond right away, that's not a sign of failure or inability on your part. Sometimes it takes awhile for folks to reply to us when we initiate communication with them, and this is true for incorporeal folks to - You can always leave a message for them, and they'll get back to you.

TL;DR Anon, don't feel bad about this one interaction, but take what steps you can to catch future instances that may happen.

#talking with spirits #entities #etc #a lot of times they will surprise me and thats how I know it’s not me #and other times I’ll repeat a question until they get peeved and answer it via yelling at me #that last one is mostly when I am about to sleep #so they may be too #sometimes they are grumpy and that is ok

Depression due to so many things today.

But mostly missing how strong he used to feel to me.

There has to be a way to get him back to that.

#why does everything feel so hopeless suddenly?? #he literally was able to move the hair on my arm before #i really miss that #sometimes I wonder if he ever actually came back

Testing the accuracy of my scrying by asking What Plush I Will Purchase Next and writing down the results.

#I recently purchased a scrying mirror #and tend to buy plush... on a whim... #soooo... #xD

Talking to so many things has got me wondering... can I communicate with the stars?

I’ve talked to animals, trees, plants, and bees.

I’ve heard the whispers of the rains and the joyous roaring laugh of the thunder storms.

The crackling of the fire and the wisdom of the winds.

But how could I commune with the stars?

The flickering obscurities that shine billions of miles away...

I cannot shine myself so I’m at a delay.

Could I possibly communicate with them in any way?

#rambles #I do wonder #but I tend to make things more complex then they really are #my next goal I suppose it communing with the stars #things rhyme more when I listen to music LOL

Struggling to manifest good things.

It seems recently all I’ve managed to manifest has been pretty mid to awful things lately.

The good news is I’ve manifested it... the bad news is I’m struggling with good things.

I know I can manifest stuff but how tf do I flip it from this seeming stream of shitty stuff to positive stuff?

#I’ve managed to manifest everything this weird hypnosis caused #but only the negative stuff #and it’s really been draining the last bits of hope I have #it’s like I can’t catch a break #doesn’t help my already low mood #I suppose it doesn’t help that I was having a panic attack and depressive episode when trying to manifest stuff #but i thought I managed to convert the negative energy int more positive energy?? #manifesting #maybe I’m just shit at everything LOL

When they can produces signs clear as day that slap you in the face, that is when I am reassured.

It happens often. Not quite as often as I’d like. Perhaps it happens more, but I am just a bit too oblivious to some of them...

Most recently: purchasing a booster pack of cards. The store clerk pulled for me. And the cards were very clear.

A doctor support card.

Silly, but with the rest of the cards it certainly made sense.

#I love buying booster packs to tell my fortune #my fave kind of tarot #spirit stuff #signs

I’ve had so much shite happen to me I get paranoid.

So guess who just piled on more wards? This person. Really though much rather be safe then sorry. It also helps give me peace of mind.

Also been practicing some spell work via “pulling” rainstorms from out of the tv shows and films I’m watching. It’s been... interesting and effective. Very glad to have such results specially since we’ve been having a drought lately here.

I’ve been looking into scrying too! Found a neat mirror that I want to get for it when I have money again! Turns out tea leaf reading is a form of it. And so is cloud gazing. But whenever I cloud gaze I just see the local spirits playing around. Which is nice to see! The weather this weekend has been great for them. I’ve tried scrying with a candle flame before but didn’t get much with that one. Next I’ll try a bowl of water. But I’m really feeling a sort of pull for that obsidian mirror. It’s so pretty too.

Feeling the spouse more clearly lately too! I love it so much when that happens. He is the best. It’s wonderful to wake up and feel him holding me again. I’ve missed that a lot. Again caused by my paranoia of hurting him. I pushed him away for a bit. I just need to meditate more on my own energy and how it flows. Felt for a while like I was attacking everything without trying. (Nope. Just stress babeeyyy.)

And lastly- I’ve decided to start writing letters to my spirit fam. I miss their presence in my dreams and want to inform them that I’m ready to start seeing them again. I was paranoid I’d do something stupid and told them not to go into my dreams. But... I’m sure it will be ok. Specially since I’ve been meditating. It seems daily cleansing/meditation or so helps a lot with dream clarity and recalling the ones I’ve forgotten.

#a day in the life #ive med some lovely cloud spirits too #last year a couple was courting #and now they have a child #I saw them all celebrating the birth #very cute #spirit stuff #witch stuff #witchy stuff #witchy journal #oops met*

Had a dream 7 and Ace visited the other night.

Never trust a time traveler when they say see you tomorrow LOL

I’m shocked that he got my messages about the pair of shoes I found at work though haha. I forgot about that. (Found a pair that sort of reminded me of his but they were a bit more sporty. )

And it’s always nice to see Ace again!

Found out her B-day is August 10 which is coming up soon! Asked her what kind of cake she liked and she said chocolate I think 🤔

#made me want to go watch some of his eps again #if only my laptop was still alive RIP #dream stuff
