Apropos of nothing in particular.

Everyone should have a plan they can stick to to prevent scroll-induced psychosis & despair between now through the end of the year.

Something physical.
Something beautiful.
Something fantastical.
Something indulgent.

My system would LOVE to end this month with $150 in our account... it'd be better than the $20.80 currently sitting in there. 🤷‍♂️😬

Might I interest you in a #tarotreading? Or, if you'd just like to 'Buy Me A Coffee' because you enjoy the blogs... that'd be nice, too!

In my experience, the minute one believes themselves to be at 'the end'... they're met with another beginning. Back to 'The Fool'. I am weary of people who call themselves 'shamans', 'gurus', 'evolved'. Like, have y'all not read ANY of the Eastern texts?!? The Buddhists have lessons about this.

My grimoire this year represents our system's name --- 4 Isles & Co.

We're exploring what it means to be a collection of Isles, rather than 'a man who is an island'.

Obviously, this has us into sea shanties...

To the right is a person with long hair & no face looking into the pages of a book. They are laying down on their stomach with their feet kicked up behind them; very relaxed. To the left are words that read, "A grimoire is a collection of spells, secrets, & sometimes songs that are important to the witch it belongs to. If you're comfortable sharing... Select a song that is in your grimoire or represents its theme."

Some witches prefer to refer to this book as a 'book of shadows'. Both terms are valid 👌

It's #InternationalAsexualityDay & I'm letting you in on non-penetrative sexual activities that #asexual people still enjoy... like dancing

This is not me trying to obtain sexual attention. This is not me stroking my ego. Dancing is reclaiming the feminine essence that was stolen from me. #dance

I am fearful of people who believe in being 'happy all the time'. I am distrustful of doctors who prescribe 'strange things to feel normal'. In case it wasn't clear in my recent blog, I enjoy madness.

A scared expression is in the center of the page. It is in bold black. Surrounding it are the words, "False Evidence --- F.E.A.R. --- Appearing Real --- Select a song that strikes FEAR in one's heart." The words are written in neon green.

April 6th --- #AudiblyWitchyApril #MusicChallenge --- F.E.A.R.

Artists use their art to express themselves. Sometimes, it evokes FEAR. Sometimes, it evokes LOVE. Sometimes, it transmutes PAIN.

Did you know? There are 150 different species of aloe vera? Most of which are indigenous to Africa.

Also, aloe comes to us from the Arabic word 'alloeh'... which stems from the Hebrew word 'halal', meaning shining bitter substance.
Vera comes to us from the Latin word 'verus', meaning true.

For the record, I am implanting the belief that Lady Gaga is mother AND that we were all born perfect in her image. 😉👌🫶

In the background there is a group of people chasing a man who is running. In the forefront are words that read, "'A strongly held belief has a life of its own it can spread from mind to mind like a living virus & is fully capable of defending itself [through its hosts] when its survival is threatened.' select a song that represents the beliefs you put out into the world."

April 5th --- #AudiblyWitchyApril #MusicChallenge --- Egregore

In Western esotericism there is a concept called an egregore. It states that a group of people can intensely focus on a thought & it can take on a life of its own. Implant itself in people's minds.

You're probably right. I just didn't expect the conversation to take that nasty of a turn. Goes to show how naive I can be, sometimes 🤷‍♂️

is sextile [subtly harmonious energy] the N. Node in #Pisces & #retrograde. You may be transforming what you find beauty in. Your love life may undergo a change. You may realize you're being placed on a different path. Give into the realizations. Surrender to flow.

Add to that, the 🌙 who will remain in #Scorpio until 'round 6 P.M. [MST] moves into #Sagittarius today. This may prompt you to research the origins of that belief system you've been questioning. GOOD! Read a book. Listen to a podcast. UNCOVER the MYSTERIES.

Lastly, Venus in ♉ [one of her rulers] ⬇️

#astrology

The 🌞 is in #Aries & Jupiter is in ♋ --- they're squaring up with each other in a boxing match. The self, your ego & free will, is being asked to look at their belief system. Who is worthy of devotion? Are the gods real? Or, are they all dormant characteristic traits inside our psyche? ⬇️

Yeaaaaa. I got drawn into that discussion & I'm so upset that I 'took the bait'. I thought the OP was asking genuinely. I thought my answer would be 'helpful'. Will have to be more careful next time 👌

If you have German ancestry & you're wishing people a Happy Easter, your pre-Christian Pagan ancestors are likely rolling over in their grave.

Blessed Ostara from our house to yours 🌱

Colette has done it again! What a great look at this holiday & its origins! Thank you for sharing! Ostara blessings from my house to yours 🌱

Great take!

You're welcome to choose any other archetype related to community building if Christ doesn't resonate with you.

Thor, for example, is a Norse god who exhibits characteristics of one who brings people together.

LOVE IT!

Wow! This is serene. I'd write & write & write here. Also, exist... simply exist.

Look, I was an undiagnosed autistic child who happened to be forming a system of alters to combat perpetual abuse. What I'm trying to say is... I'm used to solo-play. Doesn't mean it's fun! It's only day 4 of #AudiblyWitchyApril #MusicChallenge... join in!

"There are better ways to talk about patriarchy." --- Starting with acknowledging that patriarchy doesn't = men. I'm not going to apologize for transitioning & identifying as a man. Nor am I going to tell you I immediately got respect once I was passing. Women in positions of power ⬇️1️⃣

The kind of love

Select a song that, for you, shows evidence of the nature of duality.

To the left is the symbols for Mars & Venus [representing masculinity & femininity]. To the right is a person's head with the brain highlighted & a person's body with the body highlighted. In the middle are words that read, "Duality - Masculine vs. Feminine OR Mind vs. Body"

April 4th --- #AudiblyWitchyApril #MusicChallenge --- Duality

In philosophy, dualism is the belief that mind is separate from body & vice versa. Theoretically, the mind could operate without the body & the body could operate without the mind. In spirituality, we recognize the masculine & feminine ⬇️
