✧☆Introduction to Set Up☆✧
Everyone starts somewhere! Setting up for a ritual can be a whole process that some look forward to, some dread, and others simply see as part of the process. This can apply for home grown or found rituals alike.  More ceremonial practices might have their own rules for how one should set up for their rituals that are specific to them, but if you are making your own, you own this part of the process too.
Cleansing and Warding
More often than not you’re going to want to cleanse and ward a space before you do a spell. This cleans the slate and readies the space for your intent. This is also when you might ward against unwelcome spirits or against those who might seek to undermine your working. While not everyone is going to make a hobby of making enemies of other witches, the person undermining your working might even be yourself, your own self doubt, your own conflicted wishes.  This is the moment you leave that at the door. Cleanse out what does not serve you, ward against it while you work, and have faith in yourself to carry through unimpeded.  This is your space now.
Who, What, When, Where, and Why?
Who?
Who is going to be part of a spell can range from a group to those who will be present metaphysically.  Your guides might be part of this process, your friends might be apart of the process. You may even say a prayer to ask a deity or similar entity for their help with the proceedings. Regardless, those who are present should know that this is what is happening.  You largely don’t want anyone interrupting.  
What?
Spellwork often involves materials or other objects that correspond with what you are trying to do. This is your substance.  These are your elements.  You may want to make a checklist of all the components you will need, or construct the spell where you keep all of your witchy objects to have it be burnt, buried, or returned to nature to complete your spell. This is going to vary by spell.  Other things to consider are what you have your spell in, what you plan to do with it after, and how this can be done. (You wouldn’t bury forever a non-biodegradable vessel or burn something that produces toxic gas for example.)
When?
Those who prescribe more to astrology are going to use the position of the stars or phases of the moon to decide when to perform a spell.  Those that follow the equinoxes/ solstices, or the wheel of the year might pick times when the veil (the separation between the physical and the metaphysical) is thinner.  Those that follow saints or other religions might pick specific holidays to plan for when their guides, patrons, or deities will be able to offer them the most assistance.
Where?
 Many witches take to doing their craft in their home, and will have an altar of sorts that they do their spellwork around. However, many practitioners will also take into account place as an aspect of their working.  They may go out into the woods to get more help from nature or take advantage of very old corresponding trees that they don’t have to take clippings from in order to utilize. It also might be the best way to find a space that you can temporarily designate as your own, or where you won’t be bothered.
The ease of using an altar means that you have to be less concerned about not having everything with you that you plan to use.  If this is the case you can have everything set up ahead of time, or just in reach for when you need it.  However, if you plan to go somewhere else, you might want to pack a travel altar (a smaller, often easily concealable, altar to take with you).  This will act as your witchy toolbox.
Why?
Setting up as a process is important to many for a variety of personal reasons. As you progress as a witch you may do more rituatual preparation or you may do less.  It can help get you in the right headspace, involve divination to decide if it’s worth it, or just be a more literal act of preparing tools, objects, and a clean quiet space. Your reasons are your own, and all of them are completely valid ways to approach the craft.
Sealing and Taking Down
Once you’ve sealed, signifying that this now comes to a close you may want to start undoing everything you’ve put up to perform the spell. This begins the process of returning the space to the way it was prior.  If this is your home it might include taking down the warding around the spell.  If this is out in nature remember to take only memories and leave only footprints.  Usually in the reverse order that you put everything up. I still use righty-tighty lefty-loosey. Many also cleanse the space afterwards.
I have a tendency to leave things for a few days the way they are because I have the executive function of a goldfish, but whether you do this can depend heavily on location, living situation, and how much you put up in the first place.  If most of what you did was clean the house and light some candles this isn’t a big deal, but if there are tripping hazards, something a child or pet could get into, or something that could attract wild animals, you’re probably going to want to be prompt with taking it down.

On croit qu'il est facile d'espérer. Mais n'espèrent que ceux qui ont eu le courage de désespérer des illusions et des mensonges où ils trouvaient une sécurité qu'ils prennent faussement pour de l'espérance. L'espérance est un risque à courir, c'est même le risque des risques. L'espérance est la plus grande et la plus difficile victoire qu'un homme puisse remporter sur son âme. On ne va jusqu'à l'espérance qu'à travers la vérité, au prix de grands efforts. Pour rencontrer l'espérance, il faut être allé au-delà du désespoir. Quand on va jusqu'au bout de la nuit, on rencontre une autre aurore.  
- Georges Bernanos

Ephesians 6:12
For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.
II Corinthians 10:4-5
For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ

I want so badly to just be me.
I want to be free. To be silly. To be unburdened. I want to only support myself. To know I can. To have no worries. I want to be me! To let go of others opinions. To live without them. To live with only me, my guides, my intuition. Wow. Even as I’m writing this I can hear the opinions of others. Who looks at this account? Who reads my posts? No one. This is just for me.
I just want to be me. Please. I want to be gay and to be endlessly open to everything that life has to offer. I want to not be stuck in anything. I want to be so, so open to the universe. I want to be guided by me and by them. I am currently judged for who I am be the people around me. It shouldn’t be like that. But who knew it could be so hard to let go of the people who aren’t right? You still love them and care for them. There’s nothing wrong with them, really. But your intuition tells you it’s not right. You know. I know.
We know. I’m sorry. It’s hard. But you know. You absolutely know where you want to be. If you feel uncertain, just listen in. Pay attention to all the things you’ve said you “want”, but don’t feel confidence in pursuing. You are there. You know. Listen. Pay attention. Take action. You have everything you need.

"DJ culture in those days wasn't what it is now," adds Lavelle. "It was working class, it was hardcore. On the white front it was tied to football and on the black front it was the yardie and soundsystem lot. It wasn't as refined and intellectualised as it is now." As tough as it was, the overarching mood in the shop was one of acceptance. "The environment was socialist and anarchic and spiritual," Lavelle says. "It was beautiful and strange. You had people of different sexual orientations, people with different religious and social and ethnic backgrounds. The thing with Mark and Alan is they are incredibly intellectual but the music was never intellectualised. It was just music for listening to."

July 12, 2022
Yesterday, a kid I went to school with died. I did not know him well. I knew his sister more than I knew him, we danced & did color-guard together in high school. He was involved in a car accident where he suffered a herniated brain bleed, his brain swelled too large for his skull, and was pronounced brain dead. His family tried all they could. He signed up to be an organ donor and they kept his body on a ventilator so they could transport him to harvest his organs. There is apparently a walk all of the hospital staff does for an organ donor when they pass, and the family is given a flag with signatures and notes from the staff. His mom posted a video of them walking him to the transport vehicle through the hospital and showed his life-less body.
I know it may seem odd & morbid, but I am glad they showed that to the world. No one ever prepares you for tragedies like that, even though we are all subconsciously aware that it is always possible. It shows you the grueling, heartbreaking tasks you are forced to take after losing someone you love in such a way. Seeing that almost gives you the slightest preparation for what you may have to encounter one day. It makes you think about what you would do, how you would feel, if you could even move on, if you were in their position.
With my twin brother diagnosed with a brain tumor/cancer at the beginning of this year, things like this make you wonder even harder. I have learned how to block & negate the intrusive thoughts that would keep me up at night the first few months. When people ask questions & check on him, I do not cry like a baby anymore. The nightmares have seemed to stop as well. There are things, however, that I do not believe will ever go way. Feeling guilt for being happy and healthy, wondering why it had to be him and not you, constantly fearing for the future and the things I may never get to have with him, fearing for the things he may never have and experience, feeling like he’s helpless and that I have to baby him, watching him sleep when he stays the night so I can prove to myself he’ll still be here in the morning; I could go on forever about the things that will never go away or fade from my mind.
I tend to keep my suffering to myself. I deal with it in the moments that I am alone, it is how I have always been. I say that I am an open book, and while that is true, it’s also true that I hide my pain and problems from everyone I love and everyone that loves me. I fear pushing people away with the amount of love and care I have for them, so I always stop myself from telling them that I do care and I do love them. I stop myself from expressing that love and care (I obviously have a lot of work to do). Fear of the unknown, truly fear in general, has become the biggest motivator in my life both negatively and positively.
That is why I want to start doing this. I want there to be a record of the things that I think and feel but cannot always express. My fears, my hopes, my desires, everything. If anything were to ever happen to me, I think we would all be deeply happy that I started this. It may not be every day, it may not be as long as this day, but any times I feel the need to express and do not know how, I’m going to start typing it out. I want to record the highest of my highs and the lowest of my lows.
The permanence of physical death and impermanence of life is something that I have been forced to think a lot about this year. I am starting to find peace in this fact. I pride myself on being a deeply spiritual person, someone who tirelessly longs for that spiritual connection back to God, Source, Creator, etc. Through my journey, I continue to find that I feel more love and happiness the closer I get. I fear the things that terrify me less when I focus on my spiritual journey. I want to focus on that. I want to focus on love, on life, on enjoying the present beautiful moments that pass too soon. I vow to start fighting my fears. I vow to stop living in the fears, the what if’s, the past & future. I want to truly live and love right now.
My parents, my twin, my grandmother, my boyfriend, my boss, my current friends, all of my friends from my past life, my biological family, anyone that I have ever loved, anyone that’s ever loved me; I love you & care about you all so much. Life is the greatest experience with you all in it. Life has never been better. I look forward to all the memories I continue to make with you all. Every little thing means something to me.
Thank you, C. You have made me realize some really beautiful things about life today. I hope the other side is as beautiful as we are all told. Rest easy and happily.

Really do need to make a post for my cat but actually putting the entire situation into words sounds like the most daunting task in the world right now and also makes everything real so I am stalling as you can probably guess by the 50000 posts I have made in the last hour

Wow I just caught up on the "culturally christian" "discourse" due to being the type of jew who is allergic to being Part Of Jumblr and uh
Confused
I would be more than willing to have some good faith discussions w non-Jewish atheists about their feelings about the imprecise use of this term; with people who have Christianity Trauma who politely request to not be Called Christians even if that is part of their cultural background or upbringing (I am happy to not do this & always try to say ppl from culturally christian backgrounds because like... identity and Christianity are complex and I know and love a lot of people who have been horribly hurt by Christianity and I don't think it is productive or kind to insist to those people that they be aligned in some way identitywise with the institutions that have hurt them! As a jew I understand trauma very well and a lot of interacting with people and groups who have a lot of trauma is meeting them where they are, imo. I think it's important to do that.
But (you knew the but was coming)
I am UTTERLY BEWILDERED that even the people who are on the side of "this term is useless and you are stupid for using it" who seem to have like, interesting philosophical perspectives and mostly seem to not be engaged in outright antisemitism themselves ARE NEVERTHELESS happily rubbing shoulders w people who call jews and anyone who believes in anything "unscientific" 'fairytale cultists' and who happily assert that the very act of believing stuff that cannot be Obejctively Proven is like, oppressive and harmful
And if ppl are on your post saying antisemitic things and you do not block them or go "hey whoa uhhh let's not do that" then I don't trust you!
And like also
A lot of the jews participating in this discussion are getting violent anons calling them kikes and saying they should die in horrible ways!
WOW. THIS IS WILD AND UM. KIND OF DEEPLY ALARMING. TO ME. HI. WHAT THE FUCK.
