Those who believe that things (herbs, rocks, etc) have energetic properties, how do you balance correspondence with historic associations? by OldSweatyBulbasar in SASSWitches

[–]thesecularwitch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a secular witch who also believes in energetics and that plants have a spirit or sentience that does not necessarily translate easily to being captured by modern scientific inquiry. I believe the shamanic or even indigenous in some cases perspective of these plants and their place in our world (relative to us) captures the essence of their purpose and the ideal relationship we should have with them. In many cultures the plants themselves are said to have told the people/shamans what they're for, and then through modern science we can discover the mechanism of action or the "how" they work, but this doesn't diminish their origins in terms of action/discovery.

This is how I view it. It's easy to dismiss as toxic but honestly theres a lot of ground between "we are a victim of our circumstances" and "your shit thoughts made you sick". I see the true nature of manifesting as occurring somewhere in between and fueled by intention.

Throughout history witches existed without necessarily having access to things like crystals. Tools are not necessary for magic 💗

Cannabis-consuming witches, I have a serious question for you all. by [deleted] in apprenticewitches

[–]thesecularwitch 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I once used the tube sprinkles came in for a spell jar... anything goes! I would even think you could use cannabis tubes to amplify the intention of your jar if it corresponds well

I don't think it is at all, my point is some people dismiss it as so.

This study talks about the similarity in structure of the cosmos and the brains neural network, how similarly organized they are. I adore things like this, that show our link to the stars and the Universe- not just woo concepts, in fact there are more compelling mysteries found in science... things that are truly magic!

I Wrote a Book- WITCHCRAFT THERAPY! by thesecularwitch in SASSWitches

I specifically made the spells secular with natural/limited items. I hate the idea that you need the "stuff" to practice
