There’s something about wandering in and out of London bookshops, alone, daydreaming.

Petting a mighty fine duck

5:37 PM | 23.5 hours to my next final :’)

~listening to~ pretend we’re dead by L7

me, at 2 am: there’s no better time than the present. let’s immediately start learning 3 different languages, write a screenplay and several poems, finish all of my assignments, read 12 new books,

here’s a hug,

for everyone trying and doing their best.

i see you.

and my heart is with you.

Crafting a Ritual

For witches who do not follow a defined path (Dianic, Wiccan, Druid, etc.) it can be difficult to identify where to start when it comes to spellcraft and rituals, doubly so if you are a pantheist witch, as there is no guiding book or authority (although this blogger is considering publishing some day!). There is no pantheon of god/desses to call upon, no specific cultural dieties to invoke, what rituals even make sense for a pantheist witch?

If we look at rituals as a whole, we see their beginnings tend to be around either folklore or priesthood, by which I mean either born out of cultural beliefs and superstitions (i.e. much of Gaelic Samhain/Halloween) or from clearly defined rites as determined by some organization (i.e. casting circles from Wicca). 

As a naturalistic pantheist, my aim is to focus my practices around the earth as much as possible, and not necessarily around these other origins. Although if you have a strong connection to a specific culture and their practices, I think it’s perfectly reasonable to incorporate them into your spellcraft. 

Determine Correspondences 

At their core, ritual items are about focus. We know we do not need them, but like anything we practice time and time again, it improves our connection to our spirituality and the outcomes we desire. The items we use are truly symbolic and corresponding to qualities or energies we’re using in our witchcraft. So step one is to identify what these are to you. 

While it’s perfectly fine to use other sources for identifying color correspondences for example, I encourage you to really research, contemplate, and experiment with what resonates for you. I often defer to the seasons, as we see the landscape change with theses energies, we associate white with rebirth (snow blanketed fields to be reborn in spring) and so forth. 

Start Simple

There is magick in the mundane as our intentions are more powerful than our resources. Green Witchcraft and Kitchen Witchery are abundant with information on herbs, moon phases, seasonal foods, and other associations that may be easily accessible and familiar. You may find purposefully creating a sacred space to drink homemade chamomile tea is the most potent spell for creating peace. 

Keep Learning

Knowledge is power, experimenting is the only way to find what feels right, what produces results, and what fits into your practice for the long term. It’s okay to be inspired from other practices, but be wary to be very thoughtful about how you incorporate them. If they call upon deities, your pantheist take might be to connect to creative energies or specific elements.

I find most of my ritual these days involves simplistic kitchen witchery and candle magick as they are central to my day-to-day. I hope this gives you a little push to start building your book of shadows and as always, feel free to drop by with questions and comments. 

Stretching 🙆🏾‍♀️ | 7.29.20

BUTT/GLUTES

I did like 40 thousand squats last night and cant even move from my desk to the copier

I alternated the kettle bell swings with the deadlift.. I also alternated wall sitting and pop squats. feel the burn and then don’t move for 3 days whooooo!

This is the village of Nukumori no Mori, or, in English, the Forest of Warmth, in Shizuoka, Japan. People say visiting it is like jumping into a Studio Ghibli movie.

she was bisexual, she was a lesbian… can i make it anymore obvious?

Reblog for good luck on a test you studied fuck all for.

my exam is tomorrow so🤞🏻🍀

shoutout to my empaths out there. i see you. people that feel the difference between sunday and monday energies when they are outside. people that can’t express their thoughts with words. people who feel the stress of others. people who get genuinely happy and feel relieved when they see someone out there catching their train. people who understand others without even knowing them. don’t feel bad because of being too sensitive. it’s a beautiful thing to be. i hope you may find someone that is like you, you know, to make the world a little bit easier for you.
