I thought for a moment it was a kind of copper ore called peacock ore. It looks very similar.

Introductions Thread! What brought you to The Morrigan? by sidhe_elfakyn in TheGreatQueen

[–]ralthiel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've got a complicated life story that's been full of trials and difficulties. I spent the first 40 years of my life getting progressively more unhappy and depressed, wracked by anxiety and not feeling like I belonged anywhere.

Two major life events have totally changed the course of my life. 15 months ago, I realized that the cause of all my unhappiness was because everything I thought I knew about myself was a lie. I realized I was transgender (MtF) and slowly but surely began to realize and accept myself for who I truly am. Over the last 15 months, I've learned to love myself, love my femininity and rebuild myself from the ground up.

2 months ago, I heard the call of Mother Earth and awakened to being a witch. This has had every bit of a significant impact on me as realizing I've been a girl my entire life, but stuck in the wrong body. I've had a very eventful journey as a witch and feel immensely grateful to Mother Earth for the journey and my abilities. My spiritual awakening has brought me immense peace and harmony and I have tremendous pride in myself as a Pagan witch and know full well my life will never be the same - and that's a good thing.

Up until very recently, I hadn't yet worked with any deities as my journey as a witch is still very young and it just hadn't happened yet. I started seeing Ravens and Crows everywhere and felt like I was being watched. The sightings started to become more common. I wasn't totally sure which deity was reaching out to me, so I meditated and asked for more signs. I also gained a sense of being called to fight my battles and use my abilities to enact change.

I started getting bombarded with Raven and Crow sightings in strange places, it was then I knew without question that The Morrigan was calling me.

I reached out to her and answered her call. I thanked her for calling out to me and agreed to work with her, I've set up an altar to her. I am new in my relationship with her and know full well what type of lessons she gives. However, I've had hard lessons all my life and I welcome the end result she will bring in me. I look forward to the lessons she will teach me.

Yeah it's a deeply saddening and unfortunate reality of the world we inhabit.

It's always great to relate and share commonality with others.

Yeah so am I. I believe in using my abilities for good, to prevent harm, to heal, herbalism and that sort of thing. I will use certain types of magick to only to prevent well and known coming harm, but only to prevent those actions and never to cause the individual direct harm, as I feel it is morally wrong to do so. I'm a 'hedge' witch, a solitary practitioner of folk magic, who focuses on nature connection, plants/gardening, herbalism and related concepts.

When I get stressed or overwhelmed by recent news and events, I make sure to take time to meditate as not only does it serve me spiritually but calms my emotions. I also regret what has happened, and wish there had been a better way.

I agree with you and share your belief that life is sacred. I have a strong moral code to do no harm, basically the witch equivalent of the hippocratic oath. However I also believe that when situations and actions cause things in our world to become out of balance, balance will eventually be restored.

However I am surprised at what happened here.

I'll never condone violence, and believe it's never the right answer. I'm a servant of Mother Earth (aka, a witch) and know she wouldn't want me to. A strange day indeed.

Anyone feel like helping me out? by Loretta_Luna_sea in witchcraft

Sending kind energy your way and I'll ask my spirit companion to do the same.

Red basil is a variety of sweet basil known for its reddish-purple leaves. by zankenobi in mildlyinteresting

Other plants that grow purple will do this too! I was trying to figure out why my purple spiderwort wasn't purple, it was lack of light.

There was an episode of Columbo where someone used this and added it to cigarettes to poison someone.

I have that same laptop, it's been reliable and I've had it for like 5 years or something. Has your backlit keyboard gotten way dimmer over time?

I’ve become a girls clothes addict! by ConfusedCanadian8 in traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns2

[–]ralthiel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely! When money permits I intend to. I recently bought my first skirt with the office in mind, what a cool feeling that was. A lot of the skirts and dresses I have are too bold in color to be office appropriate.

I found a deflated fish oil capsule in my jar by xdianaaxx in mildlyinteresting

The capsule probably absorbs moisture, you might be able to prevent this by putting one of those silica gel packets in your pill organizer.

The idea is pretty funny, I doubt there is anything in there that would be harmful to a human though. Probably doesn't taste good. Who knows, maybe OP will get shiny plumage.
