As above, now so below

Clouds I charge you, build and grow

Is this what a shift is like?

I tried to do quads today! I think i had an extremely short shift or something after, I think my (phantom) shifts are more of a spectrum though, like spectrum of animal to human. Like I tried doing quads while going up the stairs and into my room, i jumped onto my sister’s messy bed that has loose sheets, and just started playing with the sheets without really thinking. Then my uncle walked in and I snapped back, he asked me some questions before leaving. Was that a shift? I mean it was more animalistic and very cat like, I’m very convinced that I’m a feline now, so it’s possible right? But i’ve only had phantom shifts so I wouldn’t know.

⛈️ Weather Lore ⛈️

Part I

Weather patterns have been noted and studied for hundreds of thousands of years. Meteorology has transformed from folk lore and observation to a well-understood science. However, Weather Lore remains an ingrained characteristic of many cultures. Some longstanding beliefs about weather patterns and weather predictions include:

1. “Red sky at night, sailor’s delight. Red sky in morning, sailor’s warning.”

This popular nautical saying is used to predict poor sailing weather. A red sunset indicates that sunlight light from the west is shining through the clouds to color the sky. This means that precipitation-heavy clouds are not present. A red sky at dawn, however, can be the result of light reflecting off of cirrus ice crystals in the clouds in the upper atmosphere, signalling incoming precipitation.

2. “Sharper the blast, sooner ’tis past.”

This old piece of weather lore refers to cold fronts. The belief dictates that the colder and/or harsher a front comes in, the sooner it will end.

3. “If there is a halo round the sun or moon, then we can all expect rain quite soon.”

This is a pervasive saying that is regarded as accurate. Meteorologists have determined that the so-called “halo” seen around the moon and/or sun is caused by light reflection off of cirrus ice crystals in high atmosphere clouds. Cirrus clouds are often the first sign of oncoming precipitation.

4. “If in the sky you see cliffs and towers, it won’t be long before there is a shower.”

Vertical clouds, referred to as “cliffs and towers” in the saying, are a sign of unsettled air in the atmosphere. Unsettled air is a sign of imminent active weather.

5. “If woolly fleeces bestow the heavenly way, be sure no rain will come today.” 

This saying refers to fluffy white (cumulus) clouds in the sky. Generally, when cumulus clouds are present it is a sign of calm weather. Hence the nickname for cumulus clouds; “fair-weather clouds.”

6. “When the icy wind warms, expect snow storms.”

The arrival of warm air during the winter can signal a low pressure system, which often brings active cold precipitation.

Finally someone gets me

A common attitude that I find absolutely insufferable is whenever people insist, "It's just the way things are."

"You just feel old when you're in your 30's."

"Some people are just assholes like that."

"Kids are just difficult at that age."

Like...buddy. Given all the horrors we've seen the past few years I think it's time we call a spade a spade. The only purpose these answers serve is to justify your feelings. They don't actually explain anything.

Why do we feel old in our 30's? Have we meaningfully differentiated "aging" from things like "fatigue from adult responsibilities catching up to us" or "sleep debt" or "fatigue from chronic pain"?

Why are some people assholes? Is it because they enjoy pushing others around, or is it a byproduct of something like insecurity, anger due to feeling powerless, mental health issues, stress, rebellion, trauma, fear, conditioning on how they ought to behave, etc? Have we asked people why they act like assholes sometimes?

Why are kids difficult at that age? Is it nature or nurture? Are they trying to communicate something they can't put into words? Are they bored and need enrichment? Is their behavior a symptom of a health problem? Have you asked them what's up? Do you have a history of respecting their answers, enough for them to confide you with the truth?

Sure, you don't always have to be interested in investigating the reason behind something, but that's a choice that says you're content with not knowing, rather than the reason truly being "it's just the way things are, are who are we to question it?"

Questioning things is why we have smartphones, ibuprophen, and elections, Greg. If we were fine with the way things were we wouldn't have bothered leaving the trees.

Don’t wanna send a pic of my alters cuz they are a MESS! But I still wanna talk about this.

Ok so I have an altar for myself and an altar for the deity I worship. My deity altar is on top of a drawer, it has a deity candle in the centre, a box for letters and drawing offerings, a tin box of offerings and a lighter. In the compartment under it is my altar. It’s got herbs, spare string, rocks, a twig that was my wand at some point but snapped in half, a few spells and much more. None of these things cost a lot. And it’s also pretty subtle. A drawer with a candle and two boxes on there? That’s normal. A drawer compartment? That’s also normal. No one has to know about my craft

quick question:

do you guys prefer minimalist altars or over crowded ones?

i just saw a video on youtube from a witch who's altar was very minimal, tidy, expensive looking (they had around 3/4 of those statues of the Gods that cost like $80 each and also a huge deer skull), and overall aesthetically pleasing altar.

it made me kind of insecure about mine because i don't have the money for all those things, and also, my altar contains all the stuff i use the most, not only devotional / worship related things.

feel free to reblog this with pictures of your altars! i'd love to take a look ^^

EDIT: thank you so much to everyone that has reblogged this and gave advice to me! it really has made me feel better. also, your altars look so cool!!!!! i love them all.

Of course my life is full of luxury. Of course I am rich and wealthy and spoiled. I am always taken care of. There is nothing that I can't do or buy or have. I get the best of everything because I deserve it. Money is always finding its way into my bank account. Money can't wait to come into my possession. I know that I always have enough money to buy the things I want, to do the things I want and to go to the places that I want to go to.

There is a major difference between manifesting something and working your ass off to get something. People will often say you can't manifest without working for it, that's bullshit! If that's the case you're just doing what the average person is doing, you work at something tirelessly, lose sleep, possibly suffer in your health, that's grinding not manifesting. This feels toxic to me, teaching people that you must work like a mule in order to manifest. Manifestation requires you to nurture your relationship with the Divine, beacause at the end of the day that's all it is. When working to manifest don't think of it as work just think of you matching the Divines energy, you're letting them know you are just as invested in what you seek to manifest as they are. Manifestation only requires that you match the energy of what you are manifesting, by overworking for what you are manifesting you are actually delaying it. It's saying that you only trust yourself and not the Divine, and that my dear is not manifestation, you're just working.

Note: This is my opinion and it's okay if it doesn't resonate with you.

A Witch’s Ingredients: Sand

Sand is an abundant resource that can be found across the world including along the coasts, through deserts and even in many people’s yards and gardens. Sand is rather easy to obtain and natural making it ideal for witchcraft. Though some types of sand may be harder to obtain, and more costly, than others, let this post be a guide on how to utilize it for its magical properties.

The History

Not much history on the use of sand in magic from what I can find that is a reliable source, but I was able to find some bits about its use.

Sand has been used in connections to rituals for the dead and in burial practices in many different cultures to a varying degree. In some sand was used for burying the deceased such as very early Ancient Egypt for its mummification properties before better mummification methods were invented and utilized. Placing sand into graves or coffins of the deceased somethings as a means to connect them to their homelands if that person was traveling into foreign lands or countries. Some stories speak about mixing the ashes of the dead with sand to be kept in the home. Other stories tell of people mixes ashes from fires or the hearth with sand and casting it out into the sea for lost sailors who could not be brought home. 

Sand was also used historical in some types of spell jars and vessels. In some places sand was put into jars and bottles and given to sailors to keep them connected to home even when sailing. Others said carrying sand could protect one from being lost at sea or from disaster, likely where the history of sand being used for protection properties came from. It has also been used in witch’s bottles and for burying spells for varying purposes. Some cultures would bury offerings to deities into the sand of beaches or deserts.

Modern Use

Sand is still a common ingredient for many sea witches and worshipers of ocean related deities to utilize in their craft and in their altars. Deities commonly related to sand are Poseidon, Aphrodite, Psamathe, Thalassa, Aegir, Neptune and Veles. Sand is also often used in altars to represent either earth or water when representing the cardinal directions or the 4 elements. Some will use sand to represent both in cases of smaller altars.

Modernly, sand is often used in spell jars and bottles when used in spellwork or as a vessel to charge, cleanse and bury objects or tools such as crystals, poppets, amulets and trinkets. Sea witches or witches with accesses to large amount of sand will often use it for grounding and circle casting. Some will use it for runes and sigils as well.

Storing Sand

For those wishing to store and use collected sand ensure that there is nothing undesirable in it - garbage, sharp bits of glass, decomposing fish or animals, insects etc. Shift it thoroughly to ensure anything that could be potentially dangerous is removed and if needed properly disposed of. Once the sand has been shifted ensure it is dry before you seal it into anything.

Wet sand can house bacteria and mold - which can also smell quite foul when the container is opened again. You can use the sun to dry it or indoor heaters at a safe distance. Spread it out thin and flat to help ensure it is thoroughly dried if it is damp or wet.

Once dried the best way to store sand is inside of glass or ceramic vessels. Jars and bottles are the most ideal. Ensure that they are sealed tightly to ensure no spillage or condensation can get inside.
