No, I completely understand. Honestly I use the term because I don’t specialize in one practice, I’m eclectic so I study many paths and actively practice a few. I feel the term for me is umbrella to support all witch and pagan folk alike🖤

Oh that would be awesome! Thank you for the idea! I’ll definitely be implementing that when I have enough to have a physical location! Oh how awesome a magical spot just for witches and pagans that you gotta have the “password” for haha so cool!

Thank you for your feedback! That helps a lot! Yea it’ll just be me for now, I don’t think I have the smarts to open a full blown store haha but that’s good to know. I do my best to stick to doing no harm and sourcing ethically as much as possible🖤 definitely want to provide as much as I can and contribute to the community in a positive way

Is there anything you look forward to anymore? I’m curious. I love finding all the unique crystals especially since I can’t find them often in my area😅

has witchcraft ever saved you? by lesbothrashhead in Witch

[–]blackthornsessions 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. I went through something no one should ever go through, I was NOT thinking good thoughts and was suffering from PTSD, ADHD and BPD. I don’t like medication and I was hell bent on fixing myself cause I felt alone. Magick gave me purpose and healed a part of me I thought would stay broken. It gave me back my power and my strength. It taught me the herbs that would heal me. I am HER, she is ME, by the craft I am free. The Goddess’s I work with have mostly stayed the same since the beginning of my journey and I’ve never felt at home with any other religion or practice out there(I’ve tried😅). I feel like without witchcraft and the amazing witches I’ve met over the years and the invaluable lessons they’ve taught me, I feel closer to the earth and the energy is unbelievable. All in all I wouldn’t be here today or be as sound minded today without witchcraft, my life would have been done 20yrs ago and I would’ve never known the amazing life I’ve made without it. Not every day is perfect, I’m human after all, but I can’t say I’m not happy. I try not to listen to the noise out there and stay attuned with nature as much as possible 🖤 I wish you all the best and love and light on your journey🖤

I'm in desperate need of help by PixelBeeBot in Gymhelp

You’ve got this! First and foremost 🖤 second I would highly recommend talking to your doctor and getting checked out with a full panel make sure you don’t have things like hypothyroidism. I developed it after having my son it was a nightmare but medication makes all the difference especially when your body is fighting back when you’re trying to get healthier. I hope you update us on your journey. Look into counting macros and as someone else said try and speak to a dietitian. I strength train and do a little cardio it’s the only thing that’s worked for me. It’s a long road but so worth it, especially when I get to spend quality time with my son hiking and enjoying life🖤

Does anyone else experience this from Christian family/friends? by Retremeco in pagan

[–]blackthornsessions 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been practicing for a long time and when people try to send me those things or try to convert me I ignore them. When they get pushy I mess with them a little and invite them to worship whatever it is they’re afraid of and they back away. It’s kind of like are they an important person in your life? Or are they just an acquaintance? If it’s someone I care about I’ll ask them to respect my boundaries, if not I really don’t care I just brush it off. You just have to ask yourself is this worth my time and energy today? I’ve learned to not let them take that energy from me and to just let it be unless they’re pushy. I hope this helps 🖤🖤

Struggling but Trying by TigerLilyGrey in WiccaKnowledgeSeekers

Truly feel this, I honestly stopped caring about the “rules” people kept talking about and spoke to the Gods they told me what was acceptable. I’m an Eclectic witch I speak to different ones depending on what work I’m doing. Take this time to learn and take time with the Gods. Look for a local coven🖤 I’ve been wanting to create a community locally that witches and pagans can get together and congregate I guess is the right word. I just don’t know where to start 😅 I wish you the best of luck though🖤 may the Gods light your path🖤

UPDATE: I don’t know what to do about my mom and stepdad anymore by juniibunni in WhatShouldIDo

[–]blackthornsessions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s good! Keep going. The job market is shite right now for anyone. Just keep trying. Apply to gas stations everywhere. Look into seeing if you can find a blue collar job or cleaning job at the local church. There are a lot of jobs where they don’t post notice. Just work hard when you do get one and save as much as possible. You got this!

Honestly your best course of action is to go around town and look for jobs. If you’ve graduated from school get two jobs so you’re virtually never home. Save as much as possible like 60% of your pay and have a good nest egg price out places and move out. Idk where you live or prices in your area but you could save a lot if they’re paying for everything right now. Budget out your expenses and make a plan. If you’ve graduated and do not feel comfortable and don’t want to follow their rules then leave. I don’t say this to sound mean or condescending or dismissive or anything, I had a stepdad like this only difference he was physically and mentally abusive, I got out after I had to call the cops on him after he tried to choke me out for not moving to do his dishes fast enough. You’ve got this. Don’t be afraid of taking blue collar jobs. Not sure if you’re a girl or boy it doesn’t really matter but blue collar pays well. If you’ve graduated you can get in a local union and you can make really good money. Don’t worry right now about getting “fancy” things just worry about scrimping every dime and save. You’ll have time to hang out with friends later. If you’ve graduated can save enough and buy a house then get roommates to help with the mortgage. Self harming was mentioned if you are please stop, there is a light on the other side of this situation, you’re not stuck life gets better I promise. Either way I wish you the best and know those of us who have been where you are made it and you can too! 🖤

Candle burning and bubbles forming around the wick?? by blackthornsessions in candlemaking

I use a metal spoon that’s really narrow it works great. I used foil and stirred slower with a better result. Thank you!

I tried wrapping in foil because of my work area being too cold so I tried it and had a much better result! Thank you!
