ADHD Witch Tips
We need more adhd witch tips so here, have these. These are the things I have learned and seen done over the past 3 and a bit years of practicing witchcraft. As always, if you have anything to add, please comment them and I'll add them to the list with credit to you and a link to your blog!
Make witchy playlists with intention. Music is the most accessible way of doing magic in my opinion, especially if you're using spells that already exist. You can listen to these while working, traveling or just doing things around the house. If you sing along then you're adding to the manifesting power of the playlist!
Use really large spell candles so that you don't have to make a new one everytime you want to do a spell. I used to have 1 really big protection spell candle that I would light daily. Not having to make a new candle every time made me so much more likely to practice
Learn to meditate. I know, I know, hear me out. This is less of a witch tip and more of a mental health thing. You can meditate while colouring in, listening to music, cleaning, going for a walk. You don't have to sit down with your legs crossed. Mediation is an important skill that none of us do regularly enough.
stop caring about aesthetics. Are they nice? yes! absolutely! but unless it makes you more likely to practice then it's not worth it. caring too much about how your craft looks can also lead to burn out.
Be aware of your energy levels. Burn out is a serious issue among the neurodivergent witch community. Rest and pacing yourself is just as important as actually practicing.

Try to combine your hyperfixation and witchcraft practice. This could mean using sigils in fanart or dedicate your writing to a deity.
Use hearth craft as a way to motivate you to clean your home or to cook meals/eat.
Have affirmations on your phones home screen so whenever you unlock your phone you reminded of your intentions

If I have learned anything about witchcraft, everything has to do with intention and protection. You have to be clear in your intentions. You have to make sure you are protected and practicing safely.
Remember you are continuously learning and growing. You’re allowed to stop practicing regularly and then come back to it later. You’re allowed to change how to practice. You’re allowed to make mistakes but always make sure you still putting your safety first.
Your practice is valid and so are you🫶

Any witches wanna join a discord coven?
I want to create a community for witches, especially ones that are mentally ill and have a hard time staying on track with their practices due to their mental health struggles.
I'm gonna try and find bots I can use to help keep folks on track, and we can help each other as well. Please comment on this or dm me and let me know if you're interested in helping me out with it!!

If there's one thing that's been rather consistent in my capacity to get results from the weird shit I do, it's "avoid anything that takes a long amount of time, concentrate all effort into something fast and hard-hitting."
This goes even for relaxation exercises/self-hypnosis techniques. A lot of people do this thing where you relax gradually, relaxing each body part sequentially.
That's not for me. Currently what I'm doing is mentally counting backwards from ten, and with each number I imagine in my mind, a bit more tension or whatever leaves my body in a rather dramatic poof.
By the time I hit zero, I'm usually in a nice little hypnotic state. If not, I can repeat the countdown from ten again. Or sometimes even just count down from three.
Also, if I get an itch or an urge to move when that happens, I don't force myself to hold still. I try to move as quickly and "unconsciously" as possible - don't think about the movement, just let the body's autopilot handle it. If it sets me back at all, then I maybe repeat the countdown, or just count down from three. It seems to work all right. It's much easier to just scratch the itch and get going again rather than force myself to hold still while the itch continues for minutes, adding more stress that will set me back even more.
"If you do X then you have to start all over again from the beginning" is something that's only ever stressed me out - in fact, it was a very demoralizing approach for me - so I don't do it that way. I might just back up a little, or do it for a little longer, but I don't force myself to start over from the beginning. I find that my skill increases better if I allow myself to go through a whole process badly instead of forcing myself to start over from the beginning anytime something goes a little off-track.

I have ADHD and struggle to get the willpower to do chores sometimes.
But I found that researching and planning my shrine for my House Spirit gave me this sudden burst of energy and happiness and I was able to get an entire load of dishes going!
I've been seriously putting this off all week.

The winged figure atop the hill with wings as black as night. He raises them, hands aloft.
"Can you feel the power?"
He says in a dark gritty voice. The feathers scatter across the sky. Each one singing their song.
"Can you feel the power
Rising
Can you feel the power
Coming
Can you
Feel the essence
Within you
Rising outward
Becoming you
Through all the pain
The sorrows
Through the joy
Of days past
And tomorrow
Feel your passions fly
Feel your power coming in tides
Feel your power rising
Forming into
Your being
Feel your power
Your essence
Give to yourself
Power of Passion
Every hope
Every memory
Gliding
Drifting
Draw it in
See the hue
Now spread it out
Become You
You see the feather float before you, showing you images of what you must do. When you touch it, you feel something inside. It calls to your essence, urging you to grasp it. To take your dreams, your passions, with all the pain and suffering, with every joy you've ever felt. The emotions swell within you, you grasp it, and your power surges in its brilliant hue. At last, change has come. That is You.
Believe in yourself and all you've felt. Bring it out, become it. It's your magic. The power within. Show it proudly, and never give in.

I like big books and I cannot lie 🎶
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
some books I gave recently grabbed from the library.
I liked and wanna buy Do I Have To Wear Black? Lots of good info in there on funerary customs. I wasn't sure I was gonna like it because of the Wicca mentions at first but I was actually pleasantly surprised as I got into it. I sort of blew through it tbh because I'm not super interested in like the Kemetic or Wiccan customs, just the Norse/ heathen and Hellenic, but the very general parts at the beginning were really informative. Mortellus is a mortician and 100% definitely knows what in the heck they're talking about.
I skimmed through the Thrifty Witch book and Tarot Interactions before bringing them back because those I just need to have/ buy. I need to buy those. Thrifty Witch would definitely be more useful to me as a resource than something to read if that makes sense.
and similarly with Tarot Interactions, that is an absolutely fantastic excellent book from what I read of it, and I definitely absolutely need to have that as a resource. I also feel like that's something I wanna take my time with, not rush.
Werewolf Magick was meh. I soared through it. I was rolling my eyes at far too much of it to take any of it seriously, and by the time I got to what I was interested in/ what might have helped, couldn't understand it because of all the weird lingo/ jargon that he'd set up at the beginning. Admittedly that's my own fault obviously for trying to skip to the end, but the first part just made me cringe too much. There's too much mixing of different practices in a way that imo honors none of them, and then mixing it with crap like Wicca to boot. I just... no, I'm good, no thank you. I had gotten it out of curiosity, expecting it to not be much and... yeah, it was what I expected.
Witch Queens, Voodoo Spirits, & Hoodoo has been fantastic so far and I have got to finish it. I started it and got distracted and it went back on the shelf and I've gotta get back into it. It starts with Annie Christmas who is none of the things mentioned on the cover, lol, but I love the way it talks about our local myths and legends. Absolutely A+ 100% yes.
Weave the Liminal is... surprisingly better than I expected so far? I'm not quite sure what to make of it. We'll see as we go.
I've had the ones in that first three pictures checked out for a while and I really need to get to them. I was hoping the Shamanism Bible would give me some words to look up, a good place to start research into that but it feels like too much of a chore. The charm bag and ancestor books I just keep forgetting I have, and I expected the New Orleans one to be a quick read but again keep forgetting it's there.
Did I grab too many books? Yes, every damn time. I have maxed out how many I can borrow from the library. Oooops. xD
I absolutely had to grab The Holy Wild Grimoire though when I saw it on the shelf because that has been on my wishlist for a while and I love checking out books before buying them. I feel much better about purchasing when I already know I like them.

My baby altar. I don’t have a ton of space or a ton of things to practice witchcraft with yet but I’m on my way I think!

It’s funny how I went from not really practicing to actively getting back into witchcraft and relearning the ropes literally because I rejoined tumblr and bestie started sending low energy practices posts

I should be packing.
I move into a new apartment in 3.5 days and I am not packed.
But the ADHD gremlin that is my brain is not panicked enough to let me pack yet.
And so, we scroll.

your grimoire does not have to look good. like at all. when i first started out i kept ripping out pages because nothing was aesthetically pleasing. i got really burnt out and was learning nothing because i was spending all my time on planning out my grimoire pages. your grimoire does not have to look like the ones on tv shows or youtube. at the end of the day, it is just a notebook.
