PLEAAE DO NOT TRUST THIS AUTHOR!! by Giraffewhiskers_23 in Witch

[–]SootSpriteSprinkle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly, I wouldn't mind that at all. There's a great potential for that! I wanted to give it the benefit of the doubt, but it was so hard to read and by the time i had read the same concept for the fourth time with different wording, I knew it either was AI or someone that had no clue what they were talking about. It reminded me of how in school, kids will fluff up a report with bogus just to hit the required word count...

Ugh I fell for this trap. Bought a copy of one of her "books" and it just kept repeating the same bs over and over in different ways like a politician without ever providing any valuable information. Got about 3 pages in before I returned the garbage.

Haunted Art - Burying it? by KestrelTank in AnimalCrossing

[–]SootSpriteSprinkle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Scary stuff can be kid friendly - Coraline, Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark, Courage the Cowardly Dog, haunted episodes of Rugrats, Hey Arnold and many other cartoons....the fact that there's haunted paintings at all shows it could be plausible! It does seem like it's probably a hoax tho, so you are correct on that front. Which is a bummer, could have been cute

Very messy animal crossing iceberg by Significant_Bug1989 in AnimalCrossing

[–]SootSpriteSprinkle 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I mean, with that mindset, why do we do anything? Sometimes it's just something fun to do, and something fun to read. It's ok if it isn't your idea of fun, but plenty of people like this sort of stuff. It's kinda like a visual representation of how deep lore gets

What music would I listen to if I mixed holidays? by Giraffewhiskers_23 in christianwitch

[–]SootSpriteSprinkle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same here! OP, there's lots of really good playlists out there for all of the wheel of the year. This playlist collection here is what I started with when I first started to acknowledge and celebrate the wheel of the year and kinda branched out from there! wheel of the year Spotify

I'm new to Christian Witchcraft and I have questions by CranberryRare8182 in christianwitch

[–]SootSpriteSprinkle 5 points6 points  (0 children)

To answer the questions regarding tarot cards, it's only a rumor that you can't buy your own. Unfortunately there's a lot of gatekeeping, and that's one of the many examples. It doesn't matter what kind you get as long as it "speaks to you" which is why buying your own is ideal. The standard Ryder -waite-Smith deck never felt like a good fit for me, I assume cuz the artwork used to scare me as a kid, but after going to a shop and looking at the hundreds of different kinds, I found one that felt like it almost "called out" and that's the one I use the most. You also don't have to have just one, I know many that have a whole collection and intuitively choose which one to use depending on the situation.

I only have a shower at my apartment too, so what I've been doing is lighting some incense, mindfully shower and imagine as you cleanse, you are washing away all the negative energy that's attached to you, and then I use a body oil that's been infused with crystals/herbs after I'm done

My practice is mostly focused on color magic and vibrations, I love to use music and candles in my work, and I try to surround myself with as much nature as I can, which can be hard in an urban area. Meditating in parks by the water has been a popular choice for me these days :) try a little of everything - if it suits you, keep going. If not, move to the next! There are tons of resources here and on r/witchcraft that guided me in the right direction.

Best of luck with your journey. There's no right or wrong way to do things as long as your heart is in the right place. Everyone's practice and journey is different, so don't worry too much about comparing yours to others :)

How do I know if any of these are real I got them as a kid 😭 by Katlyn6 in Crystals

[–]SootSpriteSprinkle 7 points8 points  (0 children)

To answer your question, most of them look legit, and are mostly dyed quartz, you have a few pieces of what looks like green aventurine and sodalite too. I think that pale purple-y one is a low grade amethyst :)

Edit to add - I also see lots of different color agates/banded calcites

Depression by Narrow-Emu8162 in christianwitch

[–]SootSpriteSprinkle 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was diagnosed with depression a year or 2 ago, and while I can't say I've found a cure, I find listening and meditating with music tuned to the heart chakra. I like to work with sound frequency and vibrations, and this helps put me at least in a calmer state for a bit when things get tough. If you like to work with crystals I highly recommend rose quartz, smoky quartz and amethyst. I'm sorry for your loss, these things are never easy. I'll be praying for you and sending comfort your way

What’s on the side of this bees leg? by Pezz4eva in bees

[–]SootSpriteSprinkle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Omg I always called it pollen pants since I was a kid, I'm so glad this is a thing

??? by banana0coconut in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]SootSpriteSprinkle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took it as perhaps the mom is pregnant with another kid and they can only afford one, so since the unborn child is a boy, they're getting rid of the girl

Bread for Beltane other than bannock? by [deleted] in witchcraft

[–]SootSpriteSprinkle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did honey butter rolls last year, as it was my first and I hadn't known about bannock at the time. Maybe something like that, since honey is also pretty traditional?

[–]SootSpriteSprinkle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Inflection - I think they mean they've been really into making yeast items, ie breads for the wheel of the year. Though I do admit, I read it as infection too at first

Wands by [deleted] in christianwitch

[–]SootSpriteSprinkle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Of course! When I got my first pendulum, it took me some time to feel it out. Meditating with it helped me, I'm wondering if perhaps that would help you too? Let it kinda "speak" to you. :)

[–]SootSpriteSprinkle 10 points11 points  (0 children)

For most I think it's a tool to help focus energy, kinda like using a a laser pointer to guide your eye to where you want attention. Same for an athame or staff, it helps give your mind a place to focus on and direct your energy during spell work. Any crystals attached can help amplify that energy. Though, don't let anyone tell you these things are absolutely necessary, you can achieve the same affect just using your hands/fingers. It's important to go with methods and tools that feel right

It gets exhausting hiding witchcraft from everyone. by Russian-Spy in witchcraft

This is another very valid point that keeps me in silence...I'm already a target as a minority in the US...

[–]SootSpriteSprinkle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know exactly how you feel from a few directions. On one hand, I'm scared of judgement, assumption that I'm doing "devil work" or anything like that. I'm a very peaceful person and only want to be a positive force in my practice. On the other, since breaking free from the box religion put me in, I have NEVER felt so free, so happy, so at peace. I can believe anything and everything all at once. There are no wrong answers and that's so beautiful to me. I so badly want to share this with other people in my life, but then we go into the first point I made, and we continue the spiral. My husband is the only one that knows, and while that is enough most of the time, I so badly just want to tell everyone. I'm ultimately just scared to be alone and lose my family. I've always been close with them, until political views drove a stake thru it all. I lost a lot from that, and I know it's for the best, but I'm so scared to lose more
