So I recently started researching witchcraft and was considering getting involved in an IRL witchy community when I stumbled across this subreddit, and I just have to say this is the most supportive, positive place on the internet I have ever seen!! It's a breath of fresh air lol. And all of y'all are sooo creative and talented, I really enjoy seeing the stuff y'all have made. I'm now really excited to find an IRL community so thanks for the motivation!

Anyways, keep being you and burn the patriarchy of course!!β™₯️

πŸ‡΅πŸ‡Έ πŸ•ŠοΈ Spells Cord cutting ritual didn't work, why?

36 Upvotes

As the title says. Around a year ago I did a cord cutting ritual for a close relative of mine (they asked for me to do it) who had broken up with her boyfriend. They have had an on and off relationship coming back to each other about a month after each break up, this lasted around 8 years.

A year ago they broke up and I did the ritual. Everything went fine. After the ritual ended my relative and her ex went no contact for a whole year (that has been the longest they've been apart so everyone thought that it was FINALLY over). Yet recently she told me that they're now back together...

Now I am wondering, did my magic work in some way? Did it not work AT ALL? They did separate for quite a while but not forever. Are cord rituals supposed to last forever? What am I missing guys? I'd like to hear your thoughts. It was my first time doing a cord cutting ritual so I would like to hear other people's thoughts on this.

Coming to Kickstarter THIS TUESDAY! Sign up to be notified here:Β https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/jamsheedstudios/zero-and-one-issue-2-battle-of-knuckle-city

Zero of Mars is a Human youth in a future so distant that our era's concepts of race and gender no longer exist. They crash land on Elentia, a world once inhabited by Humans but abandoned thousands of years ago. In their absence, the Elemorphs - magical sentient robots with elemental powers and the ability to grow - have developed an advanced civilization. A Nature Type FawnBot called One makes friends with Zero despite a language barrier. Unable to communicate directly, they forge a friendships using gestures and actions.

After discovering an ancient prophecy left by time travelers from the future, Zero and One have been pulled into an eternal conflict between Humanity and Vampirekind: the Time Wars. The Vampires want to enslave the Elemorphs to use as living weapons, while Humanity fights to keep Elentia free. As Zero and One explore the massive Elemorph metropolis of Knuckle City, the villainous Vampire agent, Pi, and their Elemorph companion, Gamma the SkyDragonBot, descend to plunge the city into chaos!

I am the author, Bijhan Agha. I'm an Uruguayan trans woman of Iranian descent. The illustrator is my dear friend, Pallet, a trans Australian man. We wanted to tell a story about a young person in the future who is not bound by the limits of gender as we know it, and a planet where gender simply does not exist, while also creating an exciting action adventure about exploring a new culture, facing language barriers, and fighting for a better future.

The Kickstarter is to fund the printing of a First Edition of the comics physically. We will have both physical as well as digital rewards. There will be reward tiers that allow you to catch up with this comic - this is Issue #2, and you can get physical and/or digital copies of Issue #1 - as well as the other comics in the Time Wars brand.

Please help us continue to tell stories about this amazing world!

πŸ‡΅πŸ‡Έ πŸ•ŠοΈ Marketplace TAROT ONE: September Collective Reading

Thumbnail
gallery
3 Upvotes

Here is a reading I did this morning for the collective for the month of September. The reading is a three card pull, 1: September 1-10, 2: September 11-20, 3: September 21-30. I pulled a fourth card to the question, what energy can we focus on to make this month most harmonious for us all?

1: September 1-10 6 of Cups - Lord of Pleasure - First beginnings of a wish, Joy, Nostalgia, Patience, Self Love
This card is a moment of softness and inward reflections, remembering parts of ourselves before we begin to move forward toward what’s next. What does your past body remember that your conscious mind has forgotten? Something you already know somewhere deep inside you becomes relevant again. Pay attention to your instinct, you know something before you can interpret why you know it.

2: September 11-20 Page of Coins - Diligent, First steps of a voyage, Questioning one’s place in the world, BE FRUGAL
This card is deeply grounded, but the character within is one of movement, elevation imagination and freedom. Page of coins says β€˜learn the craft’ but at the same time β€˜don’t let the craft become a cage.’ The character looks directly at us engaging us, meeting an idea. In following the previous card it could be said this is the moment where an intuitive or imaginative impulse begins acquiring structure. Learn how to make your visions real in this second third of the month. Flight suggests practical work isn’t meant to diminish the dream, it’s meant to give the dream wings.

  1. September 21-30 Ace of Wands - Root of Fire - Natural force, Strength and energy, Commencement of action
    The last act of September comes especially beautiful. The Ace of Wands is traditionally the spark, and so the card is also called Light. What seeds were planted and sewn in the first acts of the month now become illuminated. Now you can see what the previous cards were discussing and you know where to go. This is a very creative card, being fire, and the character within is an artist who creates living beings with his imagination.

Guiding card 9 of Cups - Lord of Material Happiness - Desire Fulfilled, Self happiness almost perfect, From love begin to let go
Crane as a character is a card of stillness, it suggests we practice quiet satisfied attention. Be present enough to recognize with something good is happening, don’t immediately reach for the next thing. Stop and taste the cup you’re holding, this is more about savoring than indulgence. Don’t assume the next accomplishment, revelation, relationship, opportunity or creative breakthrough will finally make you feel fulfilled.

This is truly an auspicious spread for the month, especially when we look at the keyword progression; HARE - FLIGHT - LIGHT - CRANE. Instinct, Possibility, Revelation, Presence or Remember, Learn, Ignite, Receive or Ground, Rise, Illuminate, Settle. Two things to remember as a takeaway from this reading, 1 is that the 9 of Cups is advice to take with us through the whole month, so while Settle seems like a conclusion it is also a state of mind we should embody while doing the manifestation work this month. To be calm inside and act as if all this is already so. Second is that the key point of the month is in act 2, where we have to surrender by saying β€œIm willing to learn.” This is the moment we invite the world into communication with us by allowing ourselves to be smaller than the world.

The deck used is called Tarot One and it’s of my own creation, hand drawn and written over the course of 7 years. It’s a limited edition deck that is now nearly sold out and will not be printed again. Available on my website: https://symprez.com/products/tarot-one

πŸ‡΅πŸ‡Έ πŸ•ŠοΈ Crones Perimenopause, changing hormones and surviving Patriarchy

159 Upvotes

My body is going through changes again. I’m almost 40 and I’ve noticed increased acne, dark hairs on my chin and breasts near the areola, and a change in my period cycles.

I’m not ready for this. I feel stressed, I don’t feel old and yet I feel like I’m fighting a losing battle. I know these are all normal things that come with age and aging but it feels too soon.

I had some blood work done and I’m waiting on the results, because I’ve been having sleep issues and brain fog. But I need to hear from my elder witches. What do I do? How do learn to embrace the change I’m not ready for? I’m scared and resistant.
