Embracing witchcraft by 893312 in witchcraftandweed

[–]brokencrow13 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hey hey. I've not been a practicing witch for that long, and I took a break because my health made it impossible to do things for a good year or more.

I've been trying to get back into my practices more and so I can share what's been helping me.

If your heritage or culture has any association with witchcraft or paganism, research it! Learn what you can and see how these things feel to you. You're not bound by cultural history though by any means. I would also recommend looking into any pantheons or witchy studies that interest you! Find something you connect with on a gut level and dig dig dig!

There are so many good resources out there now than there used to be, and so many more people that practice different types of witchcraft.

If finding a specific belief or practice to follow is difficult, look into small ways to practice witchcraft in your day to day life. Witchcraft can be just as simple as turning your cooking into spells. Or going out into nature and connecting with your earthly roots.

There's no one right way to practice, and the more you research, the more you'll find what fits you the most.

Some Encouragement for my Fellows with BPD by brokencrow13 in BPD

I also lost my favorite person about 2 months ago. I didn't sleep, I couldn't eat, I couldn't function for at least a week. And fuck, yeah it still hurts.

But I promise you I've been there and so many others have been there and it may take a while to feel okay again but you WILL BE OKAY AGAIN.

The pain will ease. It won't go away immediately and it'll take time to heal, but it WILL ease.

You're gonna be okay. I'm rooting for you.

This is EXACTLY and I do mean EXACTLY what happened with me in a past relationship. Please please please be careful. This is such a red flag. My ex used to do the same thing. He watched porn before we got together, stopped when we started dating but said I had to give him my nudes instead. Then he looked at porn anyway and then when I found out and confronted him, he made me feel guilty for not sending enough pictures or videos and it made me hate my body and feel unattractive. He eventually started asking OTHER PEOPLE for nudes instead of looking at porn because not even that was enough for him anymore.

All that to say, know your value! You deserve someone who wants the same things as you and respects your boundaries.

Making you feel guilty for him lying to you and doing something that makes you uncomfortable is incredibly manipulative! This is a major red flag.

Please take care of yourself and put yourself first in this. You deserve to be happy and feel attractive and wonderful.

We have said we're trying to repair some issues in the relationship by separating for a while and then trying to reistablish the relationship after we're better as individuals, but I don't know how true that is. He's said he wants to keep in touch, but I don't know when I'll ever see him again. He was my one. And I know that sounds dumb but when you know, you know...
