so i might be stepping out of line making this post but i feel it needs to be made so yolo i guess.
i know a lot of millenials have a sort of knee-jerk negative reaction towards abrahamic religions (really mostly christianity and judaism) and i understand. really, i get it. my dad is a pastor, and he used his religon to abuse, demean, and control me at every opportunity. he regularly tells my sisters that he’s “so sad im going to hell” and other sundry passive aggressive nonsense, so trust me i get it. i understand how a certain religion can be triggering to someone.
but there is a very important point here, and i really hope you understand this.
you cannot let it make you prejudiced, and, let me be clear here, im talking specifically about antisemitism.
i know exactly whats going on in your head, because for a long time it was what was going on in my head. you hear the word “judaism” and you have flashbacks to sunday school and the old testament and all the times you sat in a church and felt personally attacked, and you associate that with judaism and jewish people because most of the things that upset you were in the old testament.
you can have your triggers, but you can’t let those triggers become an excuse to further marginalize a minority thats already attacked from literally every position of power there is. every major religion has leaders who are antisemitic, every country has a history of marginalizing jewish people, every person on the planet grows up in an inherently antisemitic world and has to unlearn that sort of toxic mindset.
and maybe this post should have been made by a jewish person, or somebody with more education on the subject than me but i think its really important that people don’t let their personal experiences with organized religion turn them into the kind of prejudiced person that hurt them in the first place.
as a romni i have a shared tragedy with jewish people, so i feel like it was easier for me to step back and be like “woah, your thought process here is super toxic and you need to stop” but i feel like a lot of white christian-raised people don’t really have that touchstone and need somebody to be like “wake up, what you are doing is wrong”
Enn:On ca Vepar og na
Other names:Vephar
The Forty-second spirit is Vepar, or Vephar. He appears like a mermaid. Vepar is an excellent spirit to evoke if you want to explore your emotions or behaviors prior to making a change. Good for cursing toxic emotions as well. He governs the waters, and to guide ships laden with arms, armour, and ammunition, etc. He can cause the seas to be right stormy and to appear full of ships. If you're in the Navy and you're stuck in a storm, call on him for calm seas, or to wreck the ships of your enemies. He is also the one responsible for making seas to be rough and stormy. . He's also good at intimidating enemy captains by making them think you're stronger than you may really be. Vepar is responsible for naval warfare. He's watches over the supply ships that bring the armor and weapons to troops. Also he makes men to die in three days by putrefying wounds or sores, and causing worms to breed in them. He governs 29 legions of spirits.
⬩Calm storms and cause storms
⬩Explore inner emotions
⬩Protection in the Navy
⬩Ask him what he will work you on⬩

⬩It is important to learn protections before trying to work with any spirits. You can get tricksters and parasites if you don't.
Cleansings- cleaning your space of negative energies. You can burn herbs or incense for this.
Banishings- forcing negative energies out of your space. The lesser banishing ritual is one of the most commonly used.
Warding- wards keep negative energy out of your space. Amulets, sigils and talismans do this.
Set up a your space and do a cleanse and banishing. Have wards up in your home. Meditation is to calm yourself and get your mind ready. The sigil (symbol) is what you draw on paper. The enn is what you chant or say to call forth the spirit.⬩
Okay so what's so bad about scarletarosa? I've had interactions with her before and seen none of what anon is describing
Have you even seen her blog? She's definitely up to some bullshit over there.

It is no secret that angels go beyond the gender binary. Lucifer, a fallen one, is no exception, and as a notorious shapeshifter they can appear however they wish at the moment. (...) But there is more to it, something that goes beyond LGBT characteristics. As beautifully exemplified in their mythos, Lucifer is the epitome of Queer.

Sea witchcraft
Sea witchcraft, also known as sea magic or ocean witchcraft, is a type of witchcraft that is centered around the sea and its energies. It is a form of nature-based spirituality that draws upon the elements of water, air, and earth, and the rhythms of the tides and the moon. Sea witches may focus on healing, divination, or protection, as well as working with sea creatures and the spirits of the ocean.
Here are some key practices and beliefs associated with sea witchcraft:
Connection to the Sea: Sea witches believe in the power of the ocean and its ability to heal and transform. They may feel a deep connection to the sea, and incorporate its energies into their daily practice.
Working with Water: Water is a central element in sea witchcraft, and sea witches may work with it in a variety of ways, such as using sea water in rituals, collecting rainwater for use in spells, or working with water crystals or gemstones.
Moon Magic: The phases of the moon and its connection to the tides is an important aspect of sea witchcraft. Sea witches may perform rituals or spells during specific moon phases, and use lunar correspondences in their practice.
Sea Creatures: Sea witches may work with the spirits of sea creatures, such as dolphins, whales, and sea turtles. They may also use shells, coral, or other oceanic items in their spellwork.
Protection Magic: Because the ocean can be dangerous and unpredictable, sea witches may focus on protection magic, using spells or charms to ward off negative energies or to protect sailors and fishermen.
Divination: Sea witches may use various forms of divination to gain insights and guidance, such as tarot, runes, or sea shell readings.
Weather Magic: The sea and the weather are closely connected, and sea witches may work with the energies of storms, wind, and rain. They may perform rituals to calm storms or to bring rain during droughts.
Sea witchcraft can be practiced both on land and at sea. Some sea witches may work by the ocean, incorporating natural items like shells, driftwood, and seaweed into their practice, while others may incorporate the essence of the sea into their practice by using items like sea salt, seashells, or sea-themed decor in their homes.
Sea witchcraft is a beautiful and powerful way to connect with the energies of the ocean and nature, and to deepen your spiritual practice.
Deciding what you believe is always a big step in life, especially if you decide to take the leap to work on the left-hand path, but things can still be hard. I see people decide they want to tread the path, but get stuck on what to do next.
It's something I hear all the time. So when you know what you want to do, but not where to start or even how to start, where can you go for information?
So you know what you want to do and who you want to work with (hopefully, but if you don't maybe take that step first), so what next?
1. Research. Do you know everything you feel like you should know about who or what you want to know about? No? Well when you can't always rely on someone to answer a quick ask or message, you have to turn to research. Do a quick google search! Look through free online libraries! Search "(book title) google drive" and see what happens! Even if you don't find what you needed, you'll know more than you did.
So now you know what you need to know, but you don't know where to go from there?
2. Find the way you want to practice. Do you want to be theistic? Atheistic? Agnostic? None or all of the above? Find people who believe what you do, or something close to it, and see what they do! Don't be afraid to take inspiration from people or even books or media that inspire you! Do you really connect with the prayers someone posts? Try your hand at writing your own! Do you like the concept of long, intricate rituals in a dark cellar lit only by candles while ominous chanting occurs? Well... try your best!
Sometimes, the way you want to practice may not be accessible to you at this time or you may not know how yet, but hey, that's what step one is for.
So you that know what you need to know and you know how you want to go about it, or at least have an idea, right? So how do we get what's inside your head and get it outside your head?
3. Dedicate a space and/or a time for your practice. You need a place to worship and to work with who you want to work with, so why don't we clean off that dusty shelf or maybe that section of your desk to start with? A few candles, real or electric can spruce a place up nicely, and maybe you can set out your favorite mug with a designated drink as a simple peace offering before you really get started. Clean it up and decorate it! Common decorations include: candles, incense, statues, crystals, pentagrams, inverted crosses, and maybe even an offering bowl!
So now you have who or what you want to work with, how you want to practice, and the beginnings of a space to practice. That wasn't so hard now, was it? Sometimes the big picture can be intimidating and it can be hard to figure out where to start, but guess what?
4. Spiritual and religious practice isn't constant, and it ISN'T a competition. Your practice won't be the same as someone who has been in this for a year, much less a decade, and that's okay! You're allowed to take things slow. You're allowed to not worship for several days or even months. Even people who have been Satanists for years and years still don't practice daily. Take things slow and make sure you do things in a way that makes YOU happy because eventually those resources you make and gather build up. What becomes 3 months to make a prayer that you're happy with becomes a prayer you can say daily that takes five minutes.
Do what feels right to you! Some people meditate and try to reach out astrally or spiritually, some light candles and incense and wait for a feeling. It is all subjective to what you feel is the right way to approach, but it also takes time to learn what that way is! Trial and error is NOT trial and failure.
Your problem might be that you're putting too much pressure on yourself to produce results, but that's not how this works. Take me for example (its Lucian, hi). I've been in this since 2011. I post a lot about research since that's something I do, but I don't post much about my practice at all and I've even been through periods of time where I didn't do anything with my practice for months on end. The times that I do something large and intricate are few and far between! Usually I find enough fulfillment in my practice to light a few candles, say a short prayer, and set out an offering of food or drink.
There is no minimum requirement to being a Satanist other than belief, so go out and do the devil's work!
A lot of witches use different types of water in their practices. Here are a few. And remember intention is very important.
Sun water - vitality, happiness, strength, positivity
Sun water is made by cleansing your preferred jar in your preferred method, filling it with water, and putting the jar out into the sun for however long you would like.
River water - moving on, changing, letting go, cleansing
River water is made by collecting water from a river in a jar that has been cleansed. (Boil before consumption.)
Rain water - growth, change, cleansing, protection
Put a preferred jar that has been cleansed out in the rain.
Dew water - beauty, glamours, love, fertility, calmness
Dew water is made by collecting dew in a cleansed jar. (Boil before consumption)
War water - used for hexes, curses, bad luck, general negativity
War water can be tailored to what you have on hand. You just want to put nasty shit in there or things like rusty nails, dead bugs, moldy things, vinegar. Do not consume this at all.
I hope this information helps some people. You can always use methods that work for you. Happy witching my friends !!!
