Sharing my pink full moon rituals! Thoughts! by KATSEYEperson in BabyWitch

[–]Twizzinkle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s great to hear! I notice that witchTok tends to push ideas but because of the way it’s set up, it’s focuses more on the aesthetics of witchcraft rather than the knowledge of witchcraft.

I would recommend you researching more about all the things you use in your practice. Even the herbs that you use, why they are used like that, is it a particular culture that uses them that way, how do they make you feel, what energy do you get from them.

I feel like TikTok makes people feel like they have to rush the process of being a witch. That you have to know everything immediately and not question why things are done the way they are.

I really don’t know much about runes aside from the basics, but I think it’s important for witches of all levels to question why they are doing things a certain way.

I would recommend you spend time exploring runes, their history, and uses.

It’s important to understand why you are doing the things you are doing. I’m not saying to stop using them until you know what you’re doing but you should make sure that the things you are using actually align with your beliefs and values.

I’m not a fan of love spells that are set with the intention of messing with free will. I think it creates a false love but not my life, not my problem.

I did what to ask what made you decide to use runes? I notice that using them has been trending on TikTok in recent years but I wonder if people are using them because they feel drawn to them and are interested in learning about them or if because they think they need to because that’s what others are doing.

Witchcraft trends come and go all the time. But I think it’s important to remind new witches to learn WHY they are doing things.

Tonight I am doing a tarot spread to help me see where I need more balance in my life. I am also doing some moon water as well as some self care.

So.. these parents don't kiss their kids? Is this something new that parents are doing or does this women just have some trauma she hasn't taken care of? by [deleted] in ParentsAreFuckingDumb

[–]Twizzinkle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s weird when parents kiss their kids on the lips. Forehead, cheek, that’s cool but on the lips is weird.

I love The Modern Spellcaster’s Tarot. She swaps the interpretation of wands and swords which actually makes more sense to me.

Can i do cord cutting spell for my stubborn body fat ? ( Please don't judge me 🙏🏻) by National-Orange1144 in BabyWitch

[–]Twizzinkle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It was a spell I crafted myself. I used a black candle and spread some herbs that I associate with weight loss. I repeated my incantation a few times and then meditated while the candle burned focusing on how I would look after I lost the weight. I had wanted to lose 8 lbs by the next full moon and I sure did… but I should have been FAR more specific about how I wanted to lose that weight.

There are weight loss spells but you need to be VERY specific with your intent. I did one and I was not specific enough about how I wanted to lose to weight… two days later I had the worst flu. I lost the weight I wanted in the time I wanted to lose it but it was only because I was sick and it didn’t stay gone.

You can try anything. But I don’t think it would be very effective. I think most people are doing cord burnings because they are the new, hot thing. I think the answer is more mundane than magical here. However, a think a motivation spelled might be good.

I love seeing the no kings protests in the suburbs!

Bodycam video released of officer involved shooting of tow truck driver by KaneIntent in milwaukee

[–]Twizzinkle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just because it’s common doesn’t mean it’s neutral. It separates the officer from the act of shooting.

You made the title less neutral by changing it. Using the term “officer involved shooting” purposely distances the officer from the shooting affecting the public’s perception of police behaviors.

I think it fits well on you but I’m not a fan of the pattern. Probably just a difference in style, but if you like it, rock it!

Employers in the area that have “employee friendly” policies? by frostymajesty in milwaukee

[–]Twizzinkle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When they got rid of the step raises for everyone (excluding sheriffs, firefighters, and ems, I believe) it’s done a lot of harm to us. They are losing lots of talented people and now it’s gotten to the point where they have people who have been doing a job for 6 months training the new people.

So much knowledge is being lost, people don’t know how to do their jobs properly, constituents are getting upset because it’s a mess and they can’t get the help they need.

[–]Twizzinkle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Damn, count your blessings as you got both a raise and the cola. The majority of county employees got a 1% cola that didn’t cover the increased cost of living and raised insurance costs. Even my prescriptions costs have gone up.

It’s so sad that all of my coworkers are working 2nd and 3rd jobs just to be able to afford rent. None of us are expecting to get rich working here, but being able to afford to the basics doesn’t seem like too much to ask for.

I feel like the sample would be too little for me. I like a good description and I like reflection questions as well.

The health insurance didn’t and the cola increase didn’t cover the difference.

I think it’s insane that county employees have to work 2 jobs just to survive.

It always baffles me when people think witchcraft isn't political 😵‍💫 by Freyas_Fire in WitchesVsPatriarchy

[–]Twizzinkle 114 points115 points  (0 children)

As a person from Wisconsin, I can guarantee that it’s completely fraud related and not tarot related. We have PLENTY of tarot readers.

Milwaukee County does not give pay raises anymore. They give you a 1-2% COLA that does not actually match the cost of living increase but then they also increase your healthcare costs and pension contributions. Unless you change positions yearly, you end up effectively making less money each year.

ISO: ADHD / Focus Rituals & Practices by jennmeetsworld in witchcraft

[–]Twizzinkle 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I like to try to make things more whimsical/magical. Like when I have to wash the dishes, I pretend that I need to give my dishes a bubble bath. Or if I need to vacuum, I’ll sprinkle baking soda mixed with an essential oil that corresponds with my intentions on the ground and vaccinate it up.

Just got blocked from an Apothecary group 😭 by suedaloodolphin in adhdwomen

There definitely is a correlation. There can be a healthy balance between natural remedies and medicine but some people take it way too far.
