I picked this up at a nearby pagan store while on a trip this past week: "Bending the Binary" by Deborah Lipp So far, this is a really good book, I'm enjoying it! https://app.thestorygraph.com/books/707ec572-9bfd-4e2e-ac93-633a7db0e957 #Pagan #Paganism #LGBT #LGBTQ #binary #Queer #witch #witchy #magick #PolarityMagic #PolarityMagick #Wicca #Wiccan

I truly cannot think of a good reason to curse or hex someone or something as opposed to enacting a positive working instead. I see this topic come up from time to time and the discussion always feels so immature. Of course sometimes people do horrible things! Working from anger is even very valid, but it must be controlled. Acting in the moments of blind rage before processing and pulling apart a situation will rarely get you what you really want -- let alone what you need. Someone does something horrible to you? Why not try to figure out why, and work that they may thus learn from their mistake, to suffer penance in the form of legitimate internal change, guilt with purpose, and then the kind of growth and amends that lead someone to stop a cycle of harm. You feel bullied, cast out, othered? Why not work that your "enemies" thus become your friends or your biggest supporters in an economic sense instead? Or that you find yourself with the people who will recognize you, be your real community? You're afraid because of the state of the world? Why not work that you may cultivate a garden of sanctuary for you and others like you, and in that work begin to create that which comes after dismantling, and also work steadily towards dismantling, intentionally, as to be aware of the collateral damage as it happens? Because ultimately we do better magick when we're fully aware of what threads of entanglement we're pulling on, stitching together, pulling out and shifting, weaving, entwining. Can you be *really* present in a curse? Sure! But if we believe in the doctrines of the flow of will and energy -- does feeding the rage really feel worth it, when positive deconstruction or growth or relation building can occur instead? Of course we're all angry, and scared, and grieving. We have lots of reasons to be. But I've yet to find a mentor who thinks that blind rage and casting hexes is the best use of our skill, and there's a few real good reasons for that. #Magick #Magic #Witchcraft #Pagan

Some of my clients are on journeys they don't understand. I recall pulling cards for a client before we did her channeling session and the result was *loudly* "there are two paths and one leads to your alignment with Will directly, and the other will test and push you because it will be the result of attempting to avoid failure at all costs". Our channeling session said much the same, with the ancestors actually hemming and hawing over whether or not she could even handle the truth at this moment in time. Though, as she was eager, it was decided she should be tested to see if she could navigate desire and ultimately hold strong to her values and purpose. The tattoo session was incredible, a solar plexus opening, an invocation of her ancestors and their guidance, a swearing to let go of the desires that were killing her spirit and mental health. For weeks she experienced intense mood swings, and her menstrual cycle returned immediately after the tattoo. She returned to live here again, and sadly things broke down, but it gave me the glimpse: she thinks it isn't working anymore, but it is. Everything she *needs* is showing up: the right interpersonal challenges, the right hurdles with her career, the right pressures to get her to stop obsessing about material gain because she's privileged enough to not need to worry and part of her path is relinquishing such things so she may focus instead on spiritual attainment and teaching. She thinks it isn't working because we have this assumption that magick just "works like that" - we see the positive "synchronicities" and go "whoah, magick!" but when things are hard we imagine we failed somehow, that this couldn't possibly be a part of attending to fate or Will or purpose because it's hard. Sometimes a spell works so well that you get pulled through a gauntlet of suffering and don't find until years later that that's what it took for you to really do that work and accomplish the magickal working. Call it coincidence if you wish, but those of us doing this work and doing it earnestly and doing it well can feel the threads entangling all things, and we see when something is the result of our interference or not. But this is also why this magick is *not* for everyone. I gatekeep my practice because I don't *want* to send someone out to suffer who isn't ready. The risk of a mistake or my being out of focus feels significant. Someone must be ready and willing to accept what comes and also do their own Work. That being said, despite that they're off on journeys they don't understand, I have never encountered regret after our time together. Because I think we all know magick when we see it on some level of our being, at least. #Magick #Spellwork

This month I'm going to release a newsletter called "The Beginning: On the Currents of Magick" that will include an excerpt from the book I'm writing (which, until now I haven't really talked about publicly). I aim to discuss what it is that underlies magick, avoiding the typical physics metaphors and getting more to the root of the metaphysical structure underlying the world (or universe if we'd like to use broader language) that lends to the existence of magick. Because, you see, there is a reason that we are capable of the kind of influence we are capable of, and we can couch it in terms of quantum entanglement and atomic vibration and things and that's all valid but more than reducing the spiritual reality of our world into the language of a discipline which relies on cold materialism to offer its answers, we need myth that we can use to ground ourselves in Practice. This is what I've been alluding to each time I discuss Context, and so here will be the beginning of the weaving of such myth: one that is so much older than my capacity for verbalizing it, but which I am being called to put down in a way which we can connect ourselves to nevertheless. #Magick #Myth #Paganism

A few hand tattoos from past years, earned in ceremony for all recipients. The third photo is my own left hand, which now contains more embeddings, that image was taken I believe right after finishing the middle finger sigil. #Tattoo #Sigils #Occult #Witch #InkWitch #Magick #Aether #Astrology
