Fighting Consumerism in Magic

aka, little things to distance your craft from capitalism

Let’s all just admit that buying stuff is fun. That said, there’s a big issue of consumerism within the witchy/pagan scene. As magic work and the pagan “aesthetic” becomes more of a commodity in the mainstream, there’s a mounting attitude of needing All The Items in the highest quality (even if we’re not certain we’ll use them,) and big corporations mass-producing cheap stuff to make a buck off of a growing trend. Here’s some things you can do to help detach your practice from that and support other people in the craft:

  1. Go outside. Check your backyard or local park for local plant life, waters, roots, etc. If your work involves things from nature at all, you can probably find a lot of your supplies… in nature. It takes a little more time, but it’s free and then you’ve gathered stuff yourself! 
  2. Make stuff. This one is pretty straightforward. There may be key items to your practice that you can make yourself instead of buying it! That said, I know sometimes spending money is inevitable so I won’t dwell too much on this… let’s talk more about shopping:
  3. Shop mindfully. The price of a lot of items will skyrocket once it has a pentacle or other symbol engraved on it. For example, little mortars and pestles can be very pricey in witchy shops, but you could probably get a bigger one that’s actually food safe for less at a nice grocery store. Antique stores and international markets are now your new best friends.
  4. Support small businesses! Things are cheaper on Amazon, but the extra money goes to support real people, likely other practitioners. If you can, supporting small, local, independent shopkeepers and crafters does a ton of good. It also helps build and sustain a local community. 
  5. Shop based on need. Don’t get something “just in case” (unless it’s banishing or hex breaking stuff; those are decent to have on hand.) It’s tempting to impulse-buy a ton of niche items and ingredients, but unless you have a reasonable idea what you’re going to use them for in the near future, it’ll probably just create clutter for you to deal with later.
  6. Prioritize effectiveness over aesthetic. Ultimately your practice has to work for you, not just look good. I think making your work aesthetically pleasing to yourself can be an important part of really connecting with what you’re doing, but don’t make that desire burn a hole in your wallet and distract you from what brought you to this path in the first place. Altar envy is a real thing. 
  7. Recycle/Upcycle. Use old clothing fabric for an altar cloth. That old trinket dish makes a great offering dish. Enchant jewelry you already own. That jar of strawberry jelly you just finished off will work just fine for that spell. Things can be re-purposed and made into new things.
  8. Analyze your offerings. Special occasion wine isn’t a special occasion if you do it every time. Not every offering needs to be a grand gesture, regular maintenance is more important generally.
  9. Organize trades. Have any pals that also practice? See if you can help each other! You could trade different goods (that old mini cauldron you bought and never used for that abandoned tarot deck, maybe?) but also services. A protection spell for a luck charm. A reading for a reading. You help them with the laundry and they cook you a meal one day. 

As always, the goal is to foster a local community of individuals doing honest work, and shedding the consumerist mindset society taught us to make us spend more money. Take up the idea that you can do magic completely on your own with what you already around you, and if you do want to spend money, see if you can do it in a way that helps the world a tiny bit.  :)

An Introduction to the Tarot Series

I have been encouraged by my guides to start molding tarot with my spellwork that I have created this unique series, in order to cater to my lovely followers. These are not as advanced as my paid services (if you search “magick spell” or “magick spells” in my blog, you will get a full list of them), however they are efficient and work for those who need a booster in their lives. This is part of an effort to spread more positivity amongst those affected by the numerous disasters crashing into 2020. Hang in there, there is hope that everything will be over soon, and you will emerge reawakened and stronger than before.

These cards will be drawn up and posted daily, with spells programmed into the posts as directed by my guides, to automatically cast on you once you have reblogged them. If you do not wish to miss out on this opportunity for this series which will continue for as long as I can maintain it, please follow @rustling-fates for these to regularly appear on your Tumblr newsfeed. Please be on the lookout of numerous freebie events to come as well.

“Vitiligo is a disease that affects almost 3 million Brazilians and consists of the loss of skin color in certain body areas. Although there are numerous treatments to fight the condition, the most difficult aspect to cope with is other people’s prejudice toward those who suffer from it.

This is why Bright Side wants to present to you today the story of Mr. João, a man who decided to use the art of crochet to increase the joy and improve the self-esteem of children with vitiligo.

He said that his original idea was to make dolls for his granddaughter, and wanted to do something pretty special so that she would always remember him.

He decided to knit a doll with vitiligo, and so, Vitilinda, a pretty doll with spots and uneven skin, was born.

After the success of Vitilinda, João decided to do more inclusive crochet works. Next, dolls in a wheelchair came along, and everyone just fell in love with them, which made his work even more rewarding.”
