Do you ever look at your calendar and see that February 22nd the day after Mardi Gras is marked as Ash Wednesday, I already did. Countless times to be honest.

If you're eager for the start of Lent then good for you or if not then that is okay as well just make sure to take care of yourself.

If you're in the religiously abused category and see Lent and the whole idea of fasting, giving alms, praying and giving something up for 40 days as a big trigger like I do then let me be the one to help (if that is okay with you)

If you're ex Catholic and no longer identify or associate yourself with Christianity like I am especially after making my faith renunciation loud and clear but are still stuck in a strict religious environment where the family is still stuck in a stage of denial that their child young or grown is no longer in the faith and attempting to reconvert and "bring back to the flock" unaware that their futile attempts will only push the child away instead genuinely accepting things as they are then you came to the right post.

This time of the year can be difficult for all of us and some of us don't have the capability to fast or abstain for 40 days since we need food and drinks to keep up our strength in the physical and mental sense especially in the physical side due to health conditions that make it impossible to do so and Christianity does not see that unfortunately and some don't even have the right to make the choice of not doing Lent at all.

Very unfair if you ask me. So very unfair. I devised a list for Anti-lent to use and feel free to reblog and add your own to the list

Instead of giving something up why not indulge in it. It could be food, a new drink you wanna try but the church says "No way, you're practicing abstinence whether you like it or not!" screw that and do the opposite.

Pick up a new skill. It could be writing, reading that is not biblical scripture, trying a new cooking recipe in the kitchen(please be careful if you do so. No one likes coming home to a kitchen set on fire.)

Question Church teaching and the rules. This may seem like a very hard one and heavily discouraged in Catholicism. I've done a lot of questioning as a child and there were a lot of rules that never sat well with me at all. Blind faith and blind obedience is not a good look on anyone

On Fridays, instead of not eating meat or going to a fish fry, eat meat anyways you need the protein(unless you're vegetarian or a vegan there are other means of getting protien). Treat yourself to hamburger, steak, any meat will do. The same applies for Good Friday instead of one meal have your 3 square meals of the day.

Practice self-care. This one, is a super important one! If some priest in his sermon says to give self-care for lent don't listen and do the opposite instead. Cut your hair, go for a mani-pedi, try a new fragrance, take an extra long bath or shower, meditate, do what makes you happy this goes with the indulgence portion.

Instead of giving alms, use that tithing money on yourself or donate to a more worthy cause because the church does not deserve even a single cent from either of us no matter how much they try to guilt you into dropping your hard earned money in the offering basket. If you have a paycheck splurge some but save a portion for whenever that urge to splurge comes up leave some as a "Don't touch until next payday or future adventure travel fund".

Set boundaries. If folks ask why you aren't giving anything up for Lent, don't answer because you don't owe anyone an answer as to why. That applies to families no matter how hard some don't believe in the concept of boundaries.

Take care of your mental health. As someone who was emotionally and mentally abused by the Catholic Church, this felt like something I should've done a long time ago. Find a good therapist or psychiatrist especially one that specialize in treating folks with religious trauma. I've been seeing a therapist and I'm still in the recovery process since I got mental and emotional scars that won't heal right.

If you're pagan like I am. Look into Easter's origins before Christians came and ruin everything like they always have for milenia. Self-reflect on Ostara and the arrival of spring means to you meditate on that.

You're free to reblog and add more to the list and you can hashtag it as well in your reblogs so be sure to enjoy Mardi Gras, dance, eat, drink(responsibly), catch some beads and maybe engage in as much debauchery possible just don't let the debauchery doesn't land you in jail.

Hey guys, love you guys ❤

When I don't ask my runes any specific question they tell me things like, "The breath of God and the primordial water nourish the seed of human creation." When I do the same with my tarot cards they say shit like, "Wash the dishes, whore. One day your parents will die."

Six Grounding Exercises

1. Tree Yourself.

Being ungrounded happens when you are out-of-balance. When energy is blocked, you are unable to access the support of the earth and the higher awareness of your spirit.

A simple grounding exercise involves the visualization of yourself as a tree. First, close your eyes. Next, visualize roots growing out from your feet. “Extend” these roots through the ground and going all the way down. Anchor them at the center of the earth.

2. Meditation.

Meditation helps bring about awareness. You notice the subtle energy changes within your body. You know if you are out-of-sync or if you have become ungrounded.

Practicing body awareness or moving meditations is helpful.

You bring your awareness into the now, rather than the past or the future.

You are aware of your physical existence even while increasing your spirituality.

If you are grounded, you are conscious of yourself and your current surroundings.

You don’t have to spend hours doing meditation. In fact, just half an hour a day is enough to expand your awareness.

3. Get Physical.

Physical activity helps to remove any accumulated toxic energy in your aura. When you shift your energy from an overloaded mental focus to a physical one, you can clear away any mental debris. Getting connected through physical activity does not necessarily mean that you must join a gym. All it means is to allow your mind a chance to take a break.

4. Nature.

Going out by the ocean or just being in nature is a wonderful way to revitalize. Working with soil or clay helps in grounding. Simply touching the earth helps. Gardening is a wonderful grounding activity as it reconnects you with nature.

5. Grounding Foods.

According to Ayurvedic Medicine, there are grounding foods that you can eat, and it suggests Potatoes, Sweet Potatoes, Carrots, Ginger, Avocado, Mango, Papaya, Grapes, Olives, Berries, Coconuts, Figs, Melons, Green Beans, Egg Plant, or Yams.

For flavoring your food, use warming spices such as ginger, nutmeg, garlic, cinnamon, cumin, coriander, and cloves. A dash or two of fennel and/or sea salt also works.

6. Grounding Crystals.

Obsidian

Black Tourmaline

Smoky Quartz

Jet

Blue Kyanite

Simply hold the crystal in your hands, and visualize any unwanted energies flowing outward, and into the crystal itself. Occasionally, you will need to cleanse the crystal by putting it on the soil of the earth to drain and clear it of any negative charges.

Hey witchlings I've got a tip.

Y'all should seriously experiment more.

Like as long as you understand things like why you're doing an action, the risk, or for example how to undo a spell, try new things. I'm begging you. My practice is built from scratch upon finding inspiration and then experimenting. You can do stuff you've never even seen in a book or online. No one is stopping you!

Magic to find a lost item!

I've seen tidbits like these circling Tumblr but I thought I'd make a post describing specifics.

Ingredients needed: Pin/needle/anything of that nature, and somewhere you can safely stick that item such as a pincushion.

What you do: Stick the sharp object into the pincushion with the intention of "pinning down" that item for you to find.

Optional: You can add oils to the pin, I would recommend protection oils so the item is returned to you safely. You can also surround the pincushion with crystals and/or herbs of your choosing to help get the item back.

Once the item is returned to you, remove the pin from the cushion and thank your tools for helping you get the item back.

Some methods of doing different spells. You can mess around with these of course! These are for people to add to and personalise for their needs. This is my first post so I might add more later.

Universal (can be used for whatever spell you want)

- Music can really be used for any spell you want, it's incredibly broad, whether this is ringing bells to cleanse, making a song for your needs or listening to music to ground.

Growth (or healing)

- If you're good with plants, you could literally plant something or place something that represents growth to you in the earth. Like burying an apple for example. (please make sure it is safe and won't harm the plants around it)

- You could do a project like knitting and you're growing throughout the length of it.

Protection/Wards

- Place your choice of protection/Ward somewhere in the entrance to your house/room. You want it so the person has to walk past it in some form. This could be salt under a doormat, bells above the doorframe, whatever is best for you.

SPELL JAR FOR LUCK

Hello all,

It has been a very long time since I posted anything but I am back to practicing as of recently! I hope to continue posting more of my grimoire for you all to see. To ease myself back into the craft, I decided to do a spell jar as I am moving house soon and I need as much luck around money and prosperity and abundance as possible.

What you’ll need:

Nutmeg - money, prosperity, protection, good luck

Cinnamon - success, healing, protection, luck, money

Poppy seeds - good luck

Thyme - good luck

Mint - wealth, prosperity

Dandelion flower - hope, wishing

Salt - protection, good luck

Honey - prosperity, abundance

Buttercup - luck, money

Hair and saliva (optional) - I wanted this to be as specific to me as possible, and I felt sacrificing some of my hair would be sacrificial to boost the power of the spell.

Steps:

Cleanse the utensils you are going to use such as the jar and any measuring equiptment.

Write on a piece of paper what you need luck towards - are you moving house? Do you need luck with an exam or a job? Try to be specific, but not overly so to allow room for adjustment. (Optional: write this in yellow, green or gold pen as these colours are associated with wealth or luck. You can also include a sigil of your choosing).

Put the piece of paper in the jar alongside the rest of your ingredients.

Once the lid or stopper is fitted, light a candle and seal the jar with yellow, green or gold wax (I used yellow).

Once you have done this, hold the jar in your hands for a few seconds and think of what this luck will grant you. Imagine yourself in the position you'd like to be in if this luck is granted to you. Blow out the candle you used to seal the jar and watch as the smoke dissapears.

[d3vilishd00dles]

so. recently I've gotten interested in witchcraft/hellenism again (haven't lost interest, just like...I dunno how to word it but like a hyperfixation with like.. 50% of the hyper??? iykyk.) and I've been researching, adding to my Amazon cart, looking things up, etcetera. I've had this interest for years now.

maybe five years back, my curiosity got drawn to Aphrodite, right? started seeing stuff about her, things connected to her, her usual symbols, even came across a bag of shells in good condition, literally in a place where I'd never find them normally, stuff like that. but at the time, I didn't feel ready to look into that 'cause I wasn't in a place where I could really get into it. I kept the shells for future purposes, tho.

time skip to now, that's happening again. but this time, I'm wondering if I'm overthinking things or it's happening more blatantly. recently, maybe two weeks ago, my brothers and I stayed at my aunt's for spring break and during that time, she had planned to give me a makeover, take me to get my brows done for the first time in my life, and got me some makeup. which I've also never had before. had no idea she was gonna do that, but it happened.

a few days ago I decided to start praying to her if nothing else, at least to start. I did a little introducing myself thing, was really nervous about it. as a first offering/devotional act of sorts, im trying to get more into self care (which is something I've never really paid attention to or felt okay with? like it made me feel vain or selfish, I'm not used to putting more effort into myself than enough to get by. I'm working on it tho). started using an actual face cleanser and moisturizers, Im trying to do it every day for her.

since I started–literally like 4 days ago mind you–we(the fam) went to the mall for the heck of it(something we've never had the funds for), I got new body care stuff, and I got witchy supplies for the altar I wanna make for Aphrodite in the near future but didn't think I'd get any supplies anytime soon. (i got her an apple candle!😁) ...what??? all of this is stuff that we've never been able to afford or didn't have the chance to do, but now all of a sudden it's happening?

my question is am I reading too far into this? like is this just something that happens to be happening by chance or...is it really Aphrodite reaching out/doing her thing or something? this all happened over the course of like two weeks and for someone with my experiences? this is a small yet jarring difference and I don't know if I'm just reading too deep into things. if anyone's got any advice or opinions on this, help a girl out🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

Two days ago, I took a hop on hop off trolley tour of the city these were taken at Centennial Park in Nashville, Tennessee and I'm still in Nashville until Sunday.

I saw this replica of the Parthenon where the nice tour guide said contains a very big and beautiful statue of the goddess, Athena. Part of me wishes to go visit since I felt it might be the closest I'll get to the real deal which is among the ruins in Greece.

I wish I could see that statue of Athena and maybe snap a picture and probably pray to her to grant me courage and wisdom but Tennessee is the buckle of the "Bible Belt" and folks there don't take kindly to polytheistic pagans like me and through their ignorance see me as a false idol worshipper or a something heathenous The gods tagged along with me for this trip and Aphrodite liked how my pictures turned out and told me I will get to see the real deal in Athens one day.

If Duck is another version of Witch then is the Fae/Witch baby going to be another version of Goose?

Duck and Witch are different characters! They have some similarities but they're independent of each other.

The fae/witch baby is a boy too, so he's his own little bundle of chaos. I don't think Witch is quite equipped to deal with a magical version of Goose...

Hope Elide Blackbeak Crochan Havilliard

Heir to the Wastes, Manorian First-Born (of 4)

Manon art foundation by @madschofield

~ Yes, Elide did cry for the first solid year of Hope’s existence, and at every single reminder since of her middle namesake.

Abilities

~ She has more Crochan blood than Ironteeth blood. She doesn’t have retractable iron teeth or nails. However, she can perform some Crochan magic like healing and glamours. She’s adept at flying and has her own deep purple wyvern named Lady (one-shot of how that name came to fruition soon).

~ She has shielding capabilities from Dorian and a basic ability to modify elements (air, water, fire, etc.) from that kernel of raw power passed down to all of his children.

Personality & Headcanons

~ Apart from her eye color, she’s her mother’s mini-me and reveres Manon.

~ “Mommy says I can be warm and not fuzzy.” Manon teaches her to be caring and assertive in the ways that feel most natural to her.

~ When Lord Westfall (Chaol’s father) came to Rifthold and convened with her father on some matters, “Mommy says I don’t owe scary men politeness, so they should earn my respect instead. Can you tell me some of your accomplishments?” Dorian’s howl could be heard all the way back to Anielle. Bizarrely, Chaol brought her a stunning set of bracelets next time he visited.

~ Dorian used to read to her as a little girl for hours at a clip, mostly fantasy books, and she was mesmerized. She was hooked on every word and couldn’t seem to fathom the fantastical creatures he described, despite the fact that she lived among so many. Was one herself really. Dorian never deterred her fascination, though. Likely because he was rather attached to the perpetual awe in her expression as she listened to him.

~ At five years old, she scared the shit out of Lorcan (who has barely since recovered) when he visited with Elide and ate the last of their pear tarts from Nesryn’s family bakery. She chased him around with Wind-Cleaver, proclaiming “off with his head” and laughing maniacally. Following this atrocity, both Manon and Aelin granted her official superiority over all other children.

Wheel of the Year: Yule

Photo by Ksenia Yakovleva on Unsplash ☽🔮☾🕯🃏🌕🕸✨🍃🍄🧿🌙✩ 🪄📚

Yuletide, Yule, Christmas… one of the biggest festivals in the wheel of the year and definitely one of the most popular ones, as it got adapted into Christianity and popularized as the "day of the birth of Christ". It is now known, observed and celebrated all over the world, be the country Christian or not. Even if Christmas is celebrated the 25th of December, Yule os more commonly celebrated between the 21st and the 23rd December on the North Hemisphere and between the 21st and the 23rd of June in the Southern Hemiphere.

Yule comes right after Samhain and before Imbolc. While pagan in origin, Christianity took from it, adapted it and turned into the majour festival of this religion.This is also one of the easiest to celebrate big time without needing to come out of the broom closet: a lot of the imagery of Christmas actually mirrors that from Yule, in fact.

Yule is the celebration of the winter solstice. Yule celebrates midwinter, and the longest night of the year. What this signifies is that the reign of darkness is over, the tipping point has been passed, and the reign of light is coming back. From now on, days are becoming warmer and warmer, sunnier and sunnier and life will start to come back to Earth, as winter winds down.

We don't know exactly where the origin of the word "yule" comes from, but it is suspected it might come from Old Norse, the word “jól", which meant a celebratory feast. The festival also has ties to Germanic and Scandinavian gods such as Odin, and it also played a part on their folklore.

Yule is a time for rejoicing. It mainly celebrates letting go of the old, accounting for the past year, cleaning house and making room for the new, shiny coming things. It's a time for rebirth, new beginnings and hope. It is also a time for reflection and introspection, to make sure not to repeat the same mistakes of the past year, and to try to steer ourselves in the good direction. It is also a time to chase away the darkness through joy and merriment: ignoring that the harvests have ended and our reserves are almost empty, let's celebrate and make merry for the good times are coming soon!

It doesn't matter where you live: Christmas, and therefore Yule, has become so popularized and commercialized that you probably can celebrate it inside your home and outside the house for the entire month of December. In most countries of the world illuminations, jingles, people dressed up as something or other and all sorts of shiny decorations will help you get in the holiday spirit. This is also one of the strong suits of Yule: you can still celebrate as much as you want, deck the halls and get into the holiday spirit… while still being extremely subtle about the fact that you practice witchcraft !

If you'd like to celebrate Yule, here you have a short list of options available to you. Some might be more adecuate to solitary practice, others might be best if you are part of a coven.Some allow you to get all materialistic about it, while others will help you keep in touch with the more traditional, raw side of the festival. Whichever you choose, make sure to enjoy yourself and look forward to the hope and hapiness this event brings us !

-Candles: Ever wondered why candles feature so prominently in Christmas decor ? Well, it's part of an old tradition where candles and fires were lit for Yule, both to light up the longest, darkest night of the year and to honour the Sun and call it home. Both candles and fire are incredibly popular motifs for Yule and many traditions include them, so if you can, light some: battery candles will do as well !

-Decorate: It's pretty evident that decorating is also a big theme in Yule. Christmas has become extremely commercial and big, lavish, expensive decorations have become the go-to; but just like with all the other festivals you don't need to break the bank to bring that holiday spirit home. Buying commercial decorations is not the only way to deck the halls: crafting your own, or collecting seasonal items such as pinecones, holly or mistletoe from nature are all fantastic options. Just make sure you are not damaging any plants or taking any protected species (holly is endangered in many countries) and you are golden !

-Crafting: Yule celebrates the longest night of the year, which means up until then the hours of night, of dark and of cold have been too long to go outside. This makes Yule a great festival to sit by the bonfire (or by candlelight) crafting decorations. Sew, crochet, felt, draw or create in any way that pleases you both to decorate your house and to offer gifts to your loved ones. I would recommend creating an evergreen wreath: they are so simple to make and so elegant !

-Bake: Like I mentioned just before, the days before Yule are too dark and cold to be out of the house much. The harvest season has also ended, so fresh ingredients are lacking: baking with dry ingredients such as flour served a double purpose back in the day (cleaning up the pantry from non-perishables that would sustain you through winter and starting the oven that would light up the entire house). Cookies and biscuits are traditional, but so are breads, pies, cakes, pizza… highly caloric, sugary food is favoured as well: you need to put on some weight to be able to deal with the freezing winter temperatures!

-Feast: "Feast", "festival"… close enough. You can't have a festival without feasting, and what are you going to do, not eat all those delicious cookies you just baked ? To really honour the season and bring some good luck and prosperity your way, make sure to share that feast with your loved ones or to do some charity !

-Share: While Christianity and Christmas might have popularized the "charity" aspect of Yule, it was always important to share during this season: those neighbours that weren't as fortunate in the past year might be running low on supplies and ingredients. Therefore, sharing is extremely important during Yule if you have extra, no matter what shape it takes: share your abundance by inviting your loved ones to a feast, give lovely gifts to those around you, share your time and joy by volunteering at a soup kitchen…

-Divination: Yule is close enough to the end of the year that you might be wondering what it has in store for you. Using a pendulum, scrying, tarot, tasseomancy… any way is good to discover what the future might hold and to look forward to it.

-Deep cleansing: Yule is a moment of saying goodbye to the past and honouring rebirth and new beginnings, so it is a particularly auspicious moment to make inventory, clean house and make room for the new and coming. This might be more metaphorical (looking back in the past year and letting go of what didn't serve you) or more physical, like really cleaning your house. Cleanse yourself and your house and don't forget to protect yourself to keep the wacky energies at bay.

-Shadow work: Yule is a particularly good moment for self reflection, for looking into the past and for being honest with ourselves. Shadow work will help you come to terms with the most painful parts of your past and of yourself, make a clean break with them and, if you can't let them go, make strides to integrate them into yourself and to start the healing process.

-Honouring: Yule marks the day where the Sun, the brightness and the warmth start to return to us. It would be a good moment to honour the Sun, honour your deities, honour yourself and everything and all that have allowed you to come to this place. Meditation, self reflection, gratefulness, offerings to your deities… all things that help you feel connected to yourself and the world, and everything that makes you feel grateful and hopeful for the future, works here.

-Decorate your altar: We can't have a festival without decorating your altar ! Add colours, motifs and themes that remind you of the season to your altar. It's also a good option to add offerings to any deities you might work with.

Colours associated with Yule: White, black, red, green, silver, gold Crystals associated with Yule: Black obsidian, red jasper, carnelian, calcite, sunstone Food associated with Yule: Apples, spices, wine and alcoholic beverages, baked items, meat, berries, sweets

Mabon

Mabon, also known as the autumn equinox (since day and night are the same length), is the time of year where we start getting ready for winter. It is the second harvest and it usually is between September 20 and 24. It's a great time to celebrate abundance, home and family. It's also a time for balance!

Great colors for Mabon are red, orange, yellow, brown and black. Wear them, paint your nails those colors, light candles with these colors, or use them any way you want!

Great foods to eat to be in the mood for Mabon are pumpkin, bread, soup, stew, but most importantly, APPLES! This is the time of year to cook apples, go crazy with it! You can make apple sauce, apple pie, or even those nice apple twist breads I've been making for three years. You can also just eat apples as a snack!

Crystals you should carry around/put on your altar for Mabon are bloodstone, tiger's eye, hematite, amber, citrine, smokey quartz and obsidian

You can also celebrate by going outside and admiring the change of seasons, or being thankful for what you have Practice gratitude! Meditate on it or make a list of things you're grateful for Spend time with the ones you love: have a dinner with them, watch a movie with them… anything!

Since it is a time of balance, meditating to try to balance your emotions is a great way to celebrate.

Getting in the fall mood by doing things that make you think of fall can also be a nice way to celebrate Mabon. Open the windows a bit to let in the fresh air, get cozy under a blanket… you can also watch movies or TV series that remind you of fall, listen to music with autumn vibes, or even go get a pumpkin spice latte, if that's your thing!

On that note, I wish everyone a blessed Mabon, and I hope you'll all enjoy this year's fall time!!
