Going to a gem & mineral show with one of my #Kink friends today. It's great to reconnect our friendship since we're both often busy for months at a time. I'll be hunting for beads for my necklaces & now my hair pins. I've set my budget, hopefully I'll resist attempting to buy out the entire show.

I'm enjoying the hair pins. The tiny clacking sound of pieces hitting each other as my head moves is calming, satisfying even. Yup, I know it looks weird. "Who even does THAT?!" This Porch Troll does! Living my best life, vibing with my internal kid that loves dangling jewelry. #Witch #GayWitch

#PTSD Therapy later this morning. Send #kink forms to someone that requested them. Get over the shock of wildlife passing through my Porch Domain. Skunk! Remember my morning meds. Take a rest day for self care during the rain. Allow myself pain meds instead of toughing it out. Play #Witcher3.

Didn't realize that I completely went #ADHD hyperfocus all day on the hair pins... I was up at 1am. Other than 3 mugs of coffee between 6am & 10am, I never actually ate today until now @ 6:30pm. Oops! It's been a long time since I've forgotten to eat like that. Never even felt hungry, until I was.

And here's the 20 pack! All identical. I'm set for a while. Saturday I'm going to a gem show with a friend. We'll see what semi-precious stone bead deals I can find. #Witch #GayWitch #WitchSky

Finished for the day. Eros was irritated because he wanted up in my magic business but I did everything on the Porch to keep his nose and paws out of it. Alt text has descriptions and purposes. This is the creating stage. Next is setting spells. #Witch #Familiar #GayWitch #WitchSky #Cats #CatSky

2nd hair pin is done. This one is an Ancestral Protection piece. By Wood and Bone, By Sea and Stone... 4 elements right there. There's a whole spell with that beginning that the ancestors kept whispering in my ear until I wrote it out. They insisted. I finally did it. #Witch #GayWitch #WitchSky

So, the first hair pin is completed. Really happy with how this came out. Therapy pin: Blue moonstone for emotional regulation & healing. Black onyx for protection, grounding negative energy. (Similar to the properties of black tourmaline, just older by ancient usage) #Witch #GayWitch #WitchSky

Is it just Me?! Am I the only one always, without fail, drawing blood during the crafting process for magic tools? It's accidental but has always happened at random moment during whatever process I'm doing. This incident will likely cover working with this batch of pins. #Witch #Gaywitch #WitchSky

Heh heh!!! It has begun. First batch has arrived. 15 wooden hair pins. 14 pairs and a singleton. I'll have to sit with them, listen & look, feel out their individual magic. The next 20 are all the same pattern, with 2 holes. Those get here tomorrow. Ideas are definitely bubbling! #Witch #GayWitch

👀 I've ordered about 35 wooden hair pins. 20 with pre-drilled holes. 🤷‍♂️ I might have overdone it but I've got ideas I want to try out. This particular idea builds on my jewelry as part of my magic foundation. Especially as I incorporate the elements into it. #Witch #GayWitch #WitchSky

My next project. I'm going to add hanging streamers. I'm going to redesign the 1st one as well, making it less tangled. I'm enjoying hair pins since I realized I can use a bandana instead of hair. Sort of Jack Sparrow inspired. #Witch #Gaywitch #WitchSky

May your guns jam May your violence rebound May your voice be lost in crowds May your hate dissipate into silence May your crimes be prosecuted properly May your you inhumanity be publicly recorded May your investment in wrong doing reap no reward May your intentions be reversed & undone Every time

Runic talismans/sigils I've used this as my signature sigil for decades. It's easy, 4 simple lines. The concepts they encompass fit me easily. Can you figure out the layers, including the English letters? I use Germanic runes to honor part of my heritage, though I avoid the mythology connected.

These 4 are part of my core being. I saved them for a reason. If you can accept these things about me, we'll be just fine as the years roll by. If not, I wish you well as you depart. I'll not hold you back. #Meme #GenX #Gay #Autism

🤬 This motherfucker!!! Aaaarrrggghhhhhh!!! I have not yelled, "Fuck you!" at a video game in decades! I had the barest sliver of it's life bar left... mid final sword swing, and it killed me. Using enhanced Moondust bomb. Using necrophage oil. Using Quen Using full Griffin set #Witcher3 #Gaymer

I give my heartfelt thanks, O' Glorious, Joyous Bastet For the Felines you have sent Over the course of my life entire: Cinnamon & Sugar, Rocky, Spooky & Trouble, Rhino, Kiki, Sebastian, Psyche & Athena, Tigger, Prince Spicy & Finn, Tigger II, Eros & Helios #Witch #Familiar #PTSD #Gaywitch #CPTSD

I give my Grief to Eros For the lil boy barely Loved For the child assaulted In every way possible For the teen who tried to Simply die and end the pain Yet did not succeed For the young adult Ever the target for just being 1/2 #Witch #PTSD #Gaywitch #CPTSD #WitchSky #poem

Eros has strong opinions about the food bowl being nearly empty. As in, he sees majority bowl bottom & not what is actually still there. We have a standoff... neither budging, staring, & disapproving silence from both sides. Stubborn Scorpio hunan vs stubborn Pisces feline. #Cats #Familiar #CatSky

So, this is what the finished Wasteland personal caps look like. I'll keep switching the font color each year. Personal caps are a big deal for participants, often working on collecting as many caps as they can. Many update & change their personal caps yearly. Some even do camp(group) caps.

Portrait of a Porch Troll. Yup, left the Porch Domain with bandana & hair pin in it. Kilt, t-shirt, & my jewelry. Got positive public interactions. Apparently, "No fucks to give." translates as confidence with swagger. Been happening frequently when I go out, to my bemusement. #Gay #GenX #Witch

Eros: an Eldritch Horror tale in 4 pics. Direct your eyeballs to the 3rd pic. Note monstrous fangs in that boopsnoot & unhinged jaw! It's a trap, designed to deceive & bring tender digits to soft belly fur. Then 4 paws with daggers clamp down, holding you in place... See alt text. #Cats #Familiar

Debating the negative effects of murdering your #Familiar... karma, giving him more power as a ghost, pissing off Bastet. Fine, the jerk can live. Eros has decided 4:30am is my wake up time. It's already entered into #Cat Business™️ agenda memos. It's now set schedule in his feline brain. #CatSky

Wasteland runs on a bottlecap economy/barter. (Inspired by Fallout videogame NukaCola caps) People create unique personal caps to trade & collect. My first run had yellow lettering. This 2nd batch I'm doing blue. Naturally, a smart Troll employs child labor to apply the stickers to the caps! 💲👑

2nd batch mildewed, so given back to the earth in the flower-bed. 3rd batch... success!!! Fully dried, no mold or mildew. Still drying the 4th, Samhain batch. Weeded out potential problem bits. Halfway through drying. Still hopeful for this batch. #HebalMagic #Witch #Gaywitch #WitchSky

Yes, I was a genuine military brat. Looking at the retirement photo, I can see the #CPTSD already present. As well as the #Autism masking. My #GenX creditials in black & white. Maybe a bit of source for my #Gay attraction to military men...? I was big at every development growth stage.

Couple of things to ponder. These pair together nicely in my case . Often I post about internal things & people jump to conclusions. Or I go silent without explanation. Either case, best to mind your business & let me be. Pushing me, bad idea. #Meme #GenX #Gsy #Autism #ADHD #PTSD #ChronicIllness

So, a while ago I had posted a wish list of potential #Hex materials. On it was a Black Widow. A bit later, I thought the universe's answer was a Brown Widow specimen. I was content. This lady was just laying on my driveway, in plain sight as I brought in the bins from collection. #Witch #GayWitch

Porch Domain set up for a morning of reading. Took some recommendations seriously. This community here on Bluesky has actually changed my perception and my life in a positive direction. Especially as I'm in a shut down state. So, thank you, Bluesky #Autism and #ADHD! It means everything to me.

Got my copy today... it's print on demand and that's ok. I'm pleased to have been a part of the creative process for The Divine Diversity Tarot. It was an honor that Joe chose me to put words to his deck. books.by/joe-phillips... #Tarot #Witch #Gaywitch ##WitchSky

Something to ponder. Never forget: Words have power Phrases have power The order of Words has power Aloud or silently read, Words have power. Literally, the oldest magic of mankind is through Words. Heal or harm, Words can do it. #poem #poetry #Witch #GayWitch #WitchSky #Pagan #occult #occultsky

I stand in the Between At dawn and twilight Perception adjusting, mind opening I begin moving Dancing in the Veil Partnered with my Shadow My mirror, my secrets Remembering that forgotten Pain, horror, negativity I once rejected to survive Becoming power reclaimed Now again whole. #poetry #Witch

Proud of myself. Remembered to start the stew (originally intended for yesterday & forgotten) this morning at the correct time. Yeay me! Didn't use my reminder note the night before either. Remember, forgot about the stew entirely until this morning. Done is done, today works fine. #ADHD #AuDHD

There's some deep layers to this sentence. It applies to so many different things, processes, and growth.

Thank you for kindly allowing me to vent about personal therapy workbook frustration, aslyn (@audhd-psychnp.com). I bought the workbook you recommended and glancing through it, I see what you meant. It helped having a 3rd party validate the legitimacy of my feelings. #Autism #ADHD #PTSD #AuDHD

Killed my 1st Fiend! Beat it. My Lil 10 to its lvl 22! Bwhahaha!!! ##Witcher3

I was literally born an irritated Scorpio... The very 1st picture ever taken of me and I'm giving, "I'm already tired of your shit!" vibes immediately for posterity. That attitude has not lessened with time, only increased geometrically with each passing year! #GenX #Gay #Witch

This is my 20,0874th dawn. Given that I was born at 6:50pm, I have to remember to subtract 1 when calculating for how many dawns this flesh bag has experienced over time. Then almost forgot leap years, add 13. Just pondering how perception of time is actually surreal. #GenX #Gay #Witch

Stand down, your next in line has arrived! 🫡 #Meme #Gay #GenX #Witch (Meant to post yesterday, oops!)

-The abled always have suggestions you've already investigated. -Every diagnosis is a fight with doctors unwilling to do actual testing and resort to gaslighting. -Family would rather forget you than accommodate you. -When out, friends lose patience at the same rate you lose spoons. -We persevere.

Yesterday's postcard arrived from Aikaterine. Thank you! Made me think of Ashley the Clucken. Whom I put away Samhain evening and released in the morning. Neighbor was out of town. Ashley is pure white though. 😁

I did something I haven't done in at least a decade... I attended a birthday party. Cocktails and nosh. With only one friend I knew attending as well. It was ok but as the minutes ticked by... yeah, full understanding that this type of event isn't for me. At all. I'll pass. #Autism #ADHD #AuDHD

Eros getting his morning sunning baking in according to Official Cat Business schedule and protocol. Gods, I ❤️ this brat child! Also caught him this morning nosing through the current rose petals harvest... he just can't resist them for some reason. 🤷‍♂️ #Cats #Familiar #CatSky

Tomorrow is my birthday. I decided to do a full #Tarot spread, which I rarely do for myself. The focus was this coming year. I'll explain the reading in alt text. Fog covers beyond my Porch Domain, and as the Veil hasn't sealed yet, this is what the ancestors whispered this morning. #Witch #Gaywitch

Every mistake, every flaw, leads to a more complete, well rounded, experienced you. Perfect is a dead end that stops growing and learning.

Big white rose petals haul today! These are special, having almost all opened fully on Samhain. I'll keep this batch separate and labeled for specific uses. #HerbalMagic #Witch #GayWitch #WitchSky #Pagan

Yet another reason I adore this man infinitely! PS: The correct interpretation of what I sent is, "pharmacy and groceries!" #Gay #GenX #Meme

The crows are gossiping loudly in the trees outside the Porch Domain. Plus, they've been everywhere I've been today. Filed under: Signs the Veil has thinned. #Witch #Gaywitch #WitchSky

In my mid 20s, I was given a spiritual exercise. The assignment was to create a collage from magazine pictures that represented me. The totality. 25 years later... it still holds up. #Witch #Gaywitch #WitchSky #Pagan #Occult

This was the Halloween arrival. Thank you Karla!
