Kansas-sun-witch - ☀️Sun Witch☀️

I can feel a lot of energy. I feel energized but the local police were super busy today. One incident was a grass fire, but I have noticed that some people don't know how to act during planetary events.

planetary parade tomorrow !

that's literally so fucking cool.

i'm not making a post about it but i bet it'll be pretty magical. ✨️

enjoy!

I'm going to make dinner, clean up, and work on my Grimoire some more, and maybe even make another post.

I did settle for my 3 ring binder for now, I like having the ability to change around what goes where. I am also visual and touch person, having something in my hands helps me keep focused. Plus, with my current situation, I have no laptop and no home Internet, just my phone.

As for Calling Corners, I actually did learn a few things, thank you y'all for helping. I did learn some new names I wasn't familiar with so I was able to do more research.

Accidentally came out to my mom as being bisexual, and she was stunned and upset. She asked if that was just another way of saying I'm a whore.

lyrid meteor shower magic

the lyrid meteor shower will take place from april 16th to april 25th of this year, with its peak predicted to be on april 22nd. this meteor shower is named for the constellation lyra, with its radiant point originating from the constellation’s brightest star, alpha lyrae, also known as vega.

a lyre is a string instrument commonly seen in ancient greece and is associated with the myths of apollo and orpheus; it is said that the music produced by this lyre was so great that even inanimate objects could be charmed by it. 

"with his songs, orpheus, the bard of thrace, allured the trees, the savage animals, and even the insensate rocks, to follow him."

in addition, the tale of orpheus details the loss of his wife, eurydice, and his journey to the underworld to retrieve her, only to lose her again forever for not keeping his word to hades (you just had to look back, didn't ya?).

lyres are classically associated with the arts, specifically music (obvs) and poetry; harmony, peace, wisdom, and moderation.

herbs

calendula, chamomile, citronella, eyebright, hemp, jasmine, lavender, lemon, lemon verbena, neroli, orange, rose, rosemary, tangerine, vanilla

crystals

amethyst, angel aura, aquamarine, aventurine, carnelian, citrine, cobalt aura, emerald, fluorite, fire agate, howlite, labradorite, moonstone, opal, rose quartz, sapphire, sunset aura, tangerine aura, topaz

Developing your senses over time.

I was once reading a post about clairaudience and it absolutely changed my perspective early on about thinking I was making up hearing our gods. It went along the lines of how it feels to have a conversation with yourself in your head. Answering your own sentences and questions. But then comparing it to the feeling of having something or someone else answer your question. Changed my way of thinking completely. As well as Helios once or twice going “make me talk.”

I tried. It felt really strange, unnatural and awkward. Then he actually answered me.

I trusted myself a lot more from then on.

I don’t talk to other people with clairaudience so I’m unsure how it works for others, but for me, it was a gradual thing and by the time I realized I did have highly developed psychic senses, for a good minute I was under the impression I had some level of psychosis lol.

At first it was just singular words, then tiny phrases, and then I could have closer to full on conversations. I still have some days where it’s “off” and I don’t get anything. But on most I’m able to fully tune in, focus on a god or entity’s energy and what they’re trying to tell me. Giving channeled messages has been so fucking rewarding, especially when I think about how all this started for me.

When Lord Hermes encouraged me to start giving readings and messages I was unsure if I'd do well. But after doing this for a few weeks I know this is what I was meant to do. This is my path. I love it so much and I thank the gods everyday (and then some) for working with me in this way and how much they’ve encouraged me in my life.

Sensing someone in my room is enough, to be honest. Since I’ll head over to my decks immediately to see what’s up. And sometimes while I’m pulling I’ll get phrases, songs, and full sentences. But I don’t need it anymore, not always. It’s good for clarity, though.

I have lots of funny stories from a few months ago of some gods finding it quite funny that I was in such disbelief about my abilities. I doubted myself a LOT, so much. I constantly prayed to Dionysus for help on quieting my mind. That ended in many conversations about differing the voices of gods to voices that may genuinely come from my head.

And this is just about clairaudience, not any of the other senses I’ve developed that have absolutely spooked the hell out of me. Smelling things, seeings our gods in my minds eye, tastes that are usually unpleasant, and touches that feel like rubbing your socks on a carpet and then touching a doorknob ☠️

It’s opened me up to an entire world I can’t wait to indulge myself in and explore. And I can’t wait to be able to help others do the same too. I hope I can find friends that are like me sometime soon. I know they’re around here somewhere. 🩶

May the gods bless all who stumble upon this and feel a little seen. 💞

As somebody with ADHD as well, how do you balance a secular witchcraft practice and deity worship? Also, ty for showing me that I can separate the two!!

Good question! UPG and secular witchy things ahoy.

The way I see it, my witchcraft and my pagan practices are pretty much two separate things. When I'm venerating my deities or making offerings, that is Bree the Pagan doing the thing. While there may be special occasions where magical ritual as part of that, like around Samhain, it's not the focus.

When I'm creating or casting a spell, 99% of the time I'm not asking for divine aid, I don't require it, I don't think about it. I'm relying on my own resources and tools to make things happen. And while there may be some special occasions where I invoke my patrons for aid, usually for protection, that's not the focus.

So I'm a witch who also happens to be a polytheist pagan, rather than a polytheist pagan witch, if that makes sense. When I talk about my witchcraft, I talk about magic and technique and theory and such, but not my deities. When I talk about my paganism, I talk about my deities and veneration and my experiences with them, but not my witchcraft.

Surprisingly, my ADHD doesn't really affect my ability to compartmentalize in this way. I rather feel like it makes it easier to say The Witchcraft Is Over Here and The Paganism Is Over Here. Separating the two also helps eliminate a source of anxiety for me. Relying on the input of others to help me accomplish my goals has, historically speaking, been fraught with disappointment. So if I'm just relying on myself, it's easier to fully invest my energy and determination into the working, without the distraction of worrying whether the additional aid will come through or if I'm doing something "wrong" with regard to the inclusion of a deity or annoying them by asking for help.

So yes, it is perfectly possible to separate the two things. You can be a witch without being a pagan or a pagan without being a witch. Or you can be both without putting chocolate in your peanut butter, as it were.

Hope this helps!

I had a dream where I was in a witch's cottage and in the kitchen she had an iron rack for wooden spoons. Like this but with a pentagram in the center:

And above each hook was a little sign with things like "love", "healing", and "strength". The spoons were enchanted for those purposes and hung on their respective hooks for easy access while cooking.

And I think that's just such a cool idea.... Now to find or make a rack.

I have successfully moved. Of course, where I moved to also has many trials as well physically, spiritually, and family of course. As well as, trying to survive the town gossip. Apparently there is a feud between the town gossip queen and the goat lady, both of whom are neighbors. I told my boyfriend, that at least it gives me more Tumblr content. 😆
