please understand that i highly discourage actively killing an animal for your witchcraft. if you find roadkill or bones, purchase parts/bones/blood, or have hunter friends who are willing to let you harvest past the meat/flesh, please feel free (this is what i do.) if you are ok hunting animals for food and using the body for magick as well, go for it. but please dont mindlessly kill/sacrifice animals. its disrespectful towards the animals, the earth and the energies involved.

introduction~
hi there! my witch name is Lore! i’m currently 24 years old. i’m transgender ftm, queer, achillean & polyamorus. i have a beautiful partner who i intend to marry!! i’m autistic, have adhd and suffer from osdd1b & bpd. i am disabled and in chronic pain. i’m a gamer, artist and writer. i’m currently doing youtube (various topics), streaming and my art as a job. as well as sex work!
i am a pagan who practices witchcraft! i like the labels chaos, bone & cryptid witch! i focus mainly on the darker arts; shadow work, bone magick, dreams, hexes/curses, ancestry and more! i do practice and work on lighter subjects but my main focus is very chaotic, gremlin-y, dark and weird. i do taxidermy and collect/sell bones so i have decent access to the bones i use in magick!
in regards to paganism, it has a very small part in my witchcraft. i divine with my gods when i can but over all my religious practices are minimal and dont often delve into my magick.
i do worship multiple gods, mostly from the hellenic and kemetic religions tho i do delve into other open practices. my main god is Dionysus. my patron is Haides and my matron is Bastet. i also worship Persephone, Aphrodite, Hephaestus, Prometheus, Apollon, Artemis, Hekate, Selene/Mani, Helios/Sol, Pan & others!
i also honor some ancestorial mythological beings, particularly from mythos that i’ve always connected with; Ikarus, Medusa, Eurydice & Orpheus, Psyche, Arachnea, Achilles and more. i obviously dont worship them as gods, but instead honor and learn from them.
i also dont worship the fair folk, i try to work with them and honor/respect them. same with cryptids and other beings, i work respectfully, not calling upon them or angering them, studying and working as best as i can with them.
my blog will focus mainly on my practice, sometimes delving into paganism, but mainly focused on educating about the darker aspect of witchcraft. i dont believe in or personally practice the “love and light” mentality. there are shadows and dark things in the world, failing to acknowledge and use that is dangerous. i bless and heal and work with light but i also thrive best in the dark things.
