#PromoSky Howdy folks, new to #WitchSky

I've engaged in some magical practices for years, but I grew up evangelical & only started _really_ exploring freely last year

In addition to just checking out the witchy community more, I'll be documenting this next #YearOfMagick with daily social posts
me, nightly:
Time for some

Pendulum Board

I've been looking into a pendulum board to expand my divination readings and finally had the time and basic material to work on one for myself. It's just cardboard, tape, siccors and exacto knife, measuring tape, and a sharpie. Photos by Nona L. I googled how big a pendulum board…

I googled how big a pendulum board is, and it stated around 5" diameters, so I gave myself 5½" diameter cause there was also 5-10" diameter within the research.

> Magick takes mundane work

Everyone says this & I definitely agree as a general matter, but I've also had counterexamples; an easy type of such counterexamples to describe are luck spells

Why do some forms of spellwork (seemingly?) work without mundane work? (Learning Q, not argument)

#WitchSky
Magick isn't instant. It takes time to manifest spells.

Magick takes work, mundane work. After spellwork you have to put in mundane work. Something doesn't come from nothing. The mundane work you put in opens avenues for magick to work. (2/2)

I like this

I've gotten to a healthier place with all my family's craziness, and I'm pursuing a new career and planning a move (looking forward to getting out of this Hell Hole we call Texas lol). So some of that's already happened, some is aspirational, but I'm excited

How about y'all?
let’s talk about something good happening in each our life’s. i started eating healthier and exercising and feel so grateful for all the changes that is bringing

I find it kind of strange that I'm seeing a lot of people stressing that witch is a gender-neutral term lately

I get why people bring it up sometimes but I didn't think this was actually controversial 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯 the "witch community"

Was there something specifically that I missed maybe? lol

I do this, too, for my main altar that I use all the time. It is a workspace—and it’s a LOT of work, I think it’s appropriate.

I have definitely transitioned into this mindset over the last year or so lol
1 thing about being a Crone - You just don't care when it comes to shitty people. Having some issues at work but not stressing like I may have in the past. I've always landed on my feet. Tired of work being stressful, so I'm just gonna chill. What happens happens. Find some joy today! #witchsky

Confession: I like to call it my workspace instead of like "altar" or whatever (to be clear, this shouldn't be interpreted as any kind of negative comment toward the altar terminology in any way, shape, or form, I'm just talking about what fits best for me personally)

Happy Wolf Moon folks 🐺🌕

I've seen some circulating the idea that the name Wolf Moon is a Native thing, but as an FYI that's false, Euros brought that one I think

Cherokee (for example) call it no such thing, but rather the "cold moon" (ᎤᏃᎸᏔᏂ / unolvtani)

I find myself in an interesting position sometimes

I've practiced some forms of magick for decades, but only recently-ish (~ the last year) started learning more about some things that'd fall under what you might call the "pagan witchcraft" umbrella

Simultaneously old hand & student lol

I agree, tho I think it's best to interpret "protected cultures" narrowly; some practices are explicitly closed & you should stay away from those IMO but otherwise I wouldn't call it protected, but REALLY listen to Teela on "Educate yourself on what you're doing and why you're doing it"

#WitchSky
Witchy Tip 41

Cultural appropriation Is a real thing. Educate yourself on what you're doing and why you're doing it. Stay away from practices from protected cultures.
