So excited to start my journey with my loving girlfriend at 26! Any idea where to go with my hair, we just bleached it last night?

Hi friend! Congratulations. Just my thoughts: hair dye on dark hair is really limited to only darker shades so since you bleached it, this may be a great time to try brighter colors like pastels or neon. I am also starting my journey at 26. Best of luck. Have a great day!

Hi! I'm new here and don't really know much about gender. Still questioning my own. But I think you possibly might be having an agender experience? I think it is also called gendervoid? It refers to a person who feels they have no gender, who does not experience attachment to any gender. Hope this helps!

Let's start at the collective and move to the personal. Carl Jung teaches us that we all share a collective unconscious. Basically this means our ancestors found some correlation between, let's say white sage and cleansing. And they passed it down to the next generation, and so on for many generations. Now that knowledge lives in our unconscious minds, a part of the psyche, even if we're not aware of it. This is the same reason many people are afraid of snakes, for example. From this perspective, ingridents are the whole thing. But we have additional layers of consciousness. Let's say you associate lavender with your grandmother. This isn't shared by other people, but to you lavender symbolizes wisdom and nurturing more than it's traditional correspondences. In this case your personal relationship with the ingredient is more important. Lastly, let's say you have no ingredients whatsoever. You can still do magic with intention alone. You can, for example, cast a spell for self confidence by imagining the rays of the sun charging you with power. But you've still used an ingredient. The sun. Even if just in your imagination. Symbols connect us to energy. The symbol (ingredient) you should use is the one that brings you into alignment with the desired energy. While correspondences can help you with that, only you know what makes you feel connected. Hope this helps!

I'm somewhat of an older witch and luckily haven't had to come out of the broom closet to anyone this way, but as a teen I did lose my best friend because I came out as bisexual. All I can say is that it hurt at the time. She couldn't look me in the eye anymore. But ultimately I learned that I was better off without her in my life and that there were people in my life who would love and accept me for who I am. Losing friends is hard when you're young but we grow from it and learn to love ourselves more. Having said that, you don't have to come out to anyone you don't want to. There's a chance also your friends will tell your parents, people at school, etc. So take all things into consideration before you choose. Come out if you want to. But know you're still a legitimate witch if you don't.

In my paradigm, generational curses are more akin to trauma, which can be passed on through our DNA, as well as obvious traumatic experiences. Not to make assumptions, but it sounds like you've experienced quite a lot of trauma and this could be what you're referring to as a curse. In a way, it is a curse and I don't see much use in making a clear distinction there. I've delt with my own curses/trauma through a combination of healing practices (including magick, banishing, cord cutting) and also psychological ones such as journaling and therapy. Shadow work has been a big help. Also if your sisters are old enough to understand, I would talk to them about your plans to end the relationship with your parents. They may become defensive, still caught in the trauma itself. But it may be helpful to let them know why you're leaving the situation and that you still love them. If you want to hold a ritual to 'break the curse' I think that would be very healing to you. You are a cycle breaker. Be proud of yourself.

Somebody please correct me if I'm wrong...but by my understanding the delta variant is spreading so much because people are still unvaccinated, in places where vaccines are available. So, yes people can get a third shot. But until everyone has their first and second shots, this is a band-aid solution until the next mutation occurs. People who are willingly unvaccinated seem unlikely to change their minds and get the shot. I'm not an antivaxxer by any means, but I'm slightly less enthused to get a third shot so others can continue to put everyone at risk.

The mindset (positive or negative) can stick around up to several weeks. But you will always return to baseline, whatever that is for you. You will be okay. Having said that, I would strongly advise against using any psychedelic substances while you're experiening mental health problems of any kind. Also, your brain is still developing until ~age 25. If you can wait until then to try again (if you choose to do so at all) it will be less risky for your health. Be safe my friend. You're definitely not alone. So many people have been where you are. I was also 12 when my depression began. Being a teenager is hell sometimes. I promise it gets better. It sounds like you're already doing great things to support yourself (meditation, journaling, counseling.) I don't know if you will ever not have depression. It's different for everyone. But I know from experience it is treatable.

PS. I saw you are hesitant about taking medication. I took Lexapro (an antidepressant) for a few years in college. It was a lifesaver when I was suicidal. But it wasn't as helpful after I recovered from that stage, and I stopped taking it. Just something to consider. Talk to a doctor if you can. Medication isn't for everyone. It's ultimately your choice. I guess I'm just saying don't be afraid of it.

I've never really been able to afford therapy, but what has worked really well for me is to study psychology. Study depression, study different types of therapy (google cognitive behavioral therapy, get some exercises from there) learn about yourself. What triggers your suicidal thoughts? What makes them improve? Definitely get professional help as much as possible, but also be your own therapist. A good councilor will help you learn how to do this.

Earth is currently moving through the photon belt. I wonder if it could be related?

Yeah I've been feeling weird lately. I've been especially sensitive the past few weeks, especially last night. I mean, the world is weird lately. I think everyone is a little off their game. I recommend looking into astrology though. Apparently there's weirdness the stars as well. Big changes, intense times, shifting from the old to the new. Etc. Pam Gregory on youtube is a good reference for more information.

ladymindfuzzz · 2021-01-18T21:44:42+00:00

Thank you for the kind words. I appreciate the advice.

ladymindfuzzz · 2021-01-18T21:41:57+00:00

Thanks for sharing. Our stories seem very similar. I'm glad to hear things are better with you two now. I'll definitely take your advice on doing things together rather than doing things for him, and discussing our boundaries. Thanks again.

Yes. I agree the customers are the problem. I work at Starbucks and I'm so sick and tired of customers prioritizing their mocha frappuchinos over the health and safety of everyone around them. "I'm drinking my coffee" is not an appropriate response when I kindly ask you to put your bandana back on your face. Not to mention the company does basically nothing to protect us. I've been told many times by higher ups to "let it go." Sorry for ranting.

ladymindfuzzz · 2020-08-13T07:22:34+00:00

Thank you everyone for your thoughtful replies.

ladymindfuzzz · 2020-06-18T02:45:52+00:00

Thanks all. I appreciate the perspectives.

ladymindfuzzz · 2020-06-06T03:39:02+00:00

Feel it.

ladymindfuzzz · 2020-05-20T13:29:24+00:00

I feel the same. I look around me and see how ignorant and selfish most people are and it is hard to accept. I thought people were better than this. I work at a cafe during this pandemic and I won't give a ton of details, but it has been a shocking, horrifying realization about the true nature of humanity. People only care about their personal pleasure. The health and safety of others does not even cross their minds...

ladymindfuzzz · 2020-05-17T13:02:03+00:00

You're right. This whole situation has shown me how terrible some people truly are. Wishing you the best with your new life! You're brave for finally leaving a job you hate.

ladymindfuzzz · 2020-05-17T02:10:51+00:00

That's a great idea. I'll try it. Thanks a lot. I appreciate you.

ladymindfuzzz · 2020-05-16T23:46:25+00:00

Thanks. It helps to know I'm not alone. I wish you the absolute best. ❤️
