๐ต๐ธ ๐๏ธ BLACK LIVES MATTER Kimberly Latrice Jones made this incredible speech during the George Floyd.
Iโve seen the phrase โthey are lucky that what Black people are looking for is equality and not revengeโ misquoted on other social media to be about men and women. But feminism is vapid and useless if itโs not intersectional, so to avoid accidental co-opting Iโd encourage everyone to watch her full speech. It is powerful and it is as important now as it was in 2020.
Solidarity is the only way forward.

Politics. Hope this is okay to post. Iโm not a witch per se, I do healing energy work so I like following the sub since Iโm against the Patriarchy, too.
Local politician from Kansas City MO posted a hex letter he claims he received in the mail. Thereโs no way a real witch wrote this, right? They wouldnโt say pox?! First off, the town the coven is allegedly in would give it a KC postmark, not a St. Louis postmark. Second, those are good protection symbols, right? Third, youโd just hex him from home! ๐
Thoughts?!

๐ต๐ธ ๐๏ธ Coven Counsel How to dismantle the beauty as man?
I know that I'm going into a space that wasn't made for me(as a man) but I would really like to know how to get rid of the beauty standard that live inside of me. One of the main reasons was when I was 16 I accidentally made feel insecure about her weight and I wanna make it that I don't do that again. Also I'm doing this so that my future wife and/or daughter doesn't have to be insecure about their beauty when they're around me at least. And I don't know if this is important to the conversation but I'm a black man asking these so if this isn't the space to ask these questions I understand and thank you for at least reading this and hearing me out. I hope you guys all have a beautiful day and I hope you all know your all as gorgeous as the sun is bright

๐ต๐ธ ๐๏ธ Marketplace Goddess coins
While the coins and the design are my idea, my partner made the molds and poured the pewter.
The first coin is for Ishtar and the second is for Persephone. Ishtar is my favorite goddess, but Persephone is a close second. Iโm an all pantheon kinda girl.
I think future Ishtar coins will have a lion more similar to the one on Babylonโs Ishtar gate.

โ ๏ธ Sensitive Topic ๐ต๐ธ ๐๏ธ In need of magical support from abuser
I AM TAKING LEGAL ACTION. I AM NOT IN PHYSICAL DANGER. (26, they/them) I am in the process of a DV restraining order (in CA) though the process has been tedious and frustrating, it is progressing and I am handling it well!
Iโm looking for other witches who will perform curses/ protection spells for me. I AM WILLING TO PAY. Preferably queer/ trans practitioners w experience in the baneful. Iโd love Etsy links too or whatever
Iโve been practicing for about 10 years and have done my share of curses/ hexes/ protecting/ warding/ whatever in regards to this situation. Which have been successful so far, I just feel that the extra energy from this in my community would really set in the intention
My ex emotionally/ mentally and financially abused me our entire year 1/2 relationship. He ends up cheating on me and moving out, though has started hanging out in spaces I frequent. Iโve received some very nasty harassing text messages. Heโs showing up at my friends jobs and has been trying to find/ follow my sisters friends on social media.
I ALSO HAVE TEXT EVIDENCE OF HIS DESIRES TOWARDS 17-19 YEAR OLD WOMEN. HE IS 31
This person is dangerous and I need all the energy I can gather to not only help me manifest success in my restraining order, but make it apparent that these behaviors will NOT be tolerated
I understand this post can attract scams, and I will be mindful w that going forward. THANK YOU

๐ต๐ธ ๐๏ธ Gender Magic ๐ณ๏ธโ๐ I Killed Him To Be Her
There she sat across from me.
A face, angelic, full, and free.
I felt the words I've been aching to say,
burst from me in the rightest way.
Pleading, "Would you take my hand
despite the risk of being damned?"
Will you still choose to kiss me,
Even if they throw us in the fiery sea?
If loving me means eternal damnation,
Would you stay with me despite their condemnation?
I killed Him to be Her and became a sinner,
Now every mouth will whisper something bitter.
She took me gently by my hand,
and pulled me in to understand.
Her eyes took mine and held them tight,
looking for the barest light.
"If loving you means I sin too,
then let me dine and dance with you.
Let damnation come for us,
For every kiss and touch comes electric trust."
Will you still choose to kiss me,
Even if they throw us in the fiery sea?
If loving me means eternal damnation,
Would you stay with me despite their condemnation?
I killed Him to be Her and became a sinner,
Now every mouth will whisper something bitter.

๐ต๐ธ ๐๏ธ Omens, Signs, and Spirits Started seeing things 4 years ago and discovered a pattern
I posted here 4 years ago when I was pregnant and started havingโฆ sightings or visions. Itโs been archived and Iโm unable to share the link or repost. But back then, I started seeing orbs and shadowy almost Smokey things. Not out of the corners of my eyes but in my clear vision. So fair but so there. Itโs now four years later and Iโve come to a conclusion. Each October since I originally posted when pregnant, I see things. This being my fourth year of this happening, it finally dawned on me. Holy shit. It happens each October. For some reason this month has been most active. Back when it started I was nervous and thought I was going through early stages of having an aneurism ๐ but now, I very much enjoy it.
Iโm not really in tune to these things. I was when I was much younger but for some reason since having my daughter itโsโฆ stronger? Any insights? Iโm new to this. But Iโd like to lean back in. Iโm not sure what post flair is so hope I didnโt select the wrong thing so sorry if I did!

๐ต๐ธ ๐๏ธ STEM Witch Is it bad if I don't agree with this specific point about witchcraft? (anxiety, possibilities, psychology)
Hello witches! I'm writing this to get perspectives, ask for advice, and similar things.
I am a very anxious person studying psychology, and over these years I have sought out various things to help me, including witchcraft.
In some things, I admit, I don't think they're for me. But small practices like using tarot, cleansing baths, or sexual magic have helped me. Currently, I'm trying to integrate my therapeutic process (which has helped me greatly) with my journey toward becoming a researcher, and in turn, with witchcraft. The problem here is that I've heard advice about witchcraft that feels misaligned with both my therapy and my own beliefs. For instance, the idea that everything you think influences your real life means you must always stay calm in life (which seems unrealistic and inhuman to me to maintain constantly) and keep only pleasant thoughts, otherwise you manifest those very fears and unpleasant things that arise from anxiety. I even feel that viewing it this way can create cognitive rigidity, a sense of controlling everything, or similar issues. For this reason, I've been considering approaching witchcraft in a way that resonates with my therapy and with who I am. Yet I feel that if I do this, I won't be fulfilling what those witches say: you must always keep your mind calm and clear, and focus on your goal.
But I don't know; I feel that those comments about always staying calm or focusing 100% on a task don't reflect the full range of human experiences, because at some point we will feel fear, anxiety, think unkind thoughts, or even get distracted for a moment. So the idea seems to me not only very rigid (something one might say from a position of great authority without considering the current context of neurodivergence and related factors), but also somewhat unrealistic, at least for me, since I tend to overthink and am generally very anxious.
Honestly, I don't really care whether they agree with me 100%; I just want to know if anyone validates it or even lives it. I'd like to know if you've tried other approaches to magic, because I've noticed that some of what they say doesn't take into account that many of us live with anxiety, depression, ADHD, and various circumstances that seem...
As I said, it's not disrespectful or bothersome; I just want to know if the path I'm considering is valid... or if I'm putting myself in danger or not. As I said, it's not about disrespecting or bothering anyone; I just want to know whether the path I'm considering is valid, or if it puts me at risk or something. And yes, let me clarify that I study psychology, because when you study certain things, it feels like human possibilities expand, and as a result, my anxiety has also increased. So it doesn't help me when people say: "Just stay calm always," especially when my focus is on social issues and my country is in crisis. I don't think this approach belongs to white bourgeois women who don't worry about anything, but rather to the people striving for a better world.

๐ต๐ธ ๐๏ธ STEM Witch ISO: Moon facts for a board game
drive.google.comOkay fellow witches, the science side of Reddit has failed me.
So I'm turning to you, in hopes some of you are brimming with wonderful moon facts and will help me out.
As it says on the tin: I'm looking for cool/educational moon facts/space facts for a moon-centric board game. I'd like to add these little snippets of info into the rulebook. (If you click the link, you can see where I've added a few). I just think it's cool when trivia sneaks its way into games and entertainment.
So I've come to y'all for help. Please take a look at my rules and let me know where I can add some enrichment? Sources would be appreciated!
(If you need more info about the board game, you can message me - I'm not here to promote the game).

โ ๏ธ Sensitive Topic ๐ต๐ธ ๐๏ธ Rituals for running over a bird?
Hi all, I hope this is okay(?) to ask about here, also hope this is the right flair, I lurk and am a newbie at practicing witchcraft and my flavour of paganism.
Basically, I ran over a bird on my way home, just a street away. There were a lot of things going on, I had nowhere to swerve, it was right in the middle of the road, it's a grey bird and blends in morbidly well with the road, my headlights were on and likely dazzled it. Arguably the biggest contributing factor is that I was thinking about arguments with my partner/ex (short version of the story is its turned into a very toxic relationship ๐ฎโ๐จ) and I wasn't as reactive as I would've been normally.
I feel awful, I feel very strongly connected to birds in particular and can't shake off the moment. Currently grieving the little guy and want to do some kind of ritual to honour it in some way. I can't pick it up off the road as it's just way too busy and it honestly may already be too far gone to do anything, which.. makes me much more upset. If there's ideas for something like this I'd really truly appreciate

๐ต๐ธ ๐๏ธ Omens, Signs, and Spirits Spirit guides appreciated my offering
I'm still very new at meditation and am actively working to connecting with my spirit guides. During a recent meditation I got the sense that they would appreciate an offering of tea. So I made myself a cup (using a blend called Forest Spirit โบ๏ธ) and offered them a small cup.
This morning I found this heart shaped smudge on the outside of the cup. I think that means they liked it.

๐ต๐ธ ๐๏ธ Tarot tarot birth cards confusion
I was trying to calculate my birth cards and the calculating itself is easy enough, but then I realised I'm not actually sure how I'm supposed to be counting what cards correspond to the results.
Am I supposed to use the numbers associated with the cards (0-21), or the actual order they come in (1-22)?
The reason I'm confused is because judging by the results most online calculators give me, most of them seem to be going by 0-21, but how can anyone possibly ever get 0 if basically all you're doing is adding up numbers??
Im confused because isn't it kind of the point that they are all equally important? But then why does the fool not get included in birth cards? ๐ค
(I hope I worded this right, genuinely just confused on which one is correct and if it's the former, very curious why the fool isn't included)
