I haven't posted here in a while; Blusky is a little discouraging! Thoughtful threads and posts seem to gain little traction, but I may be doing it wrong... I am an Old, and perhaps social media has finally outpaced me.

Magic isn't just the big routines like the chants and yelling through incense smoke. It's the words, the feelings, and devotion of doing the actual act of sorcery - which can all be invoked without prescribed ritual. But how? Unless you follow a specific tradition, you're left to flounder. 1/16

A note on LED candles in #witchcraft - I live in an apartment with #cats. Live-flame candles are a risky part of witchcraft, adding chaos gremlins to the mix, with the potential of burning OTHER PEOPLE down, and I minimize the open flame as much as possible. LEDs are fine for offering light! 1/?

I've spent two days resetting and upgrading the temple. Moving furniture, spackling and adding new holes, putting up art. I've changed almost every shelf and wall. Today, the third day, I am preparing the candles and finishing touches before reawakening the space tonight.

Blessings on a Mars-Day; May you approach all conflict with grace, while never tempering your dignity. May all who see you kneel to your sovereignty, that you may respond in kind. May the arrows of your words fly true, and strike where they are meant. #witchsky #pagansky #Mars #Ares #blessings

Blessings on a Moon-Day - May all your troubles wane as the moon waxes, may each of Selene's 27 faces shine down on you with protective light. May your secrets be kept. #blessings #witchsky #pagansky #Monday #Lunar #selene #Hekate #artemis

New Moon Blessings on a Mercury-Day! Let your plans be fulfilled, so that you might rest. May your learning be easy, may your travels be smooth. Speak truth today, and watch it come true before you. As the moon waxes, may your confidence grow. #blessings #witchsky #mercury #hermes #pagansky

Blessed Deipnon to those that celebrate Hekate's mysteries! Tonight, lay a feast for the restless dead. Pray to the darkened sky for help in troubling times, and feel the Goddess embrace your efforts. If you are inclined, gift those ghosts a message, or put them to work. #witchsky #Hekate #Deipnon

A wonderful suggestion!

It’s not as cut-and-dry as saying, 'Do it yourself or don’t do it at all.' Some people lack the desire or ability to perform #spellwork, and that’s why professionals exist. Let’s stop pretending everyone must follow the same path or skillset. #witches #noteverywitch #occultsky #pagansky #gaywitch

Blessings on a Mars-Day; May you stand firm in your power, always. If you falter, may your comrades hold your banner high. May your name be defended in rooms you are not in, and may all false friends fall away. #blessings #witchsky #pagansky #Ares #mars #protectionmagic

Blessings on a Moon-day; May all of your secrets be kept safe and may your insights have the clarity of Selene at her brightest. May your power never wane, and may all of your nightborn wishes come to fruition. #blessings #witchsky #pagansky #Hekate #Selene #Moon #Goddess #witchcraft #bethemagic

Today is Holocaust Remembrance Day and marks the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz. 6 million Jews and many others were exterminated, including up to 15,000 gay men. It's important that we remember our past, especially now that we in the US seem to be on the brink of repeating it.

Blessings are meant to be shared; so I am. Feel free to repost them, share them with your own circles. I want to make this space more positive than the other platforms, and spreading blessings is the witchiest way I can think of.

Blessings on a sun-Day; May your world be lit with the rays of joy, may your oaths be held true. Let the shining light of the cosmos burn away pain, may you be victorious in all ways, against all foes. May the morning star guide you, teach you, and grant you wisdom. #blessings #witchsky #pagansky

Thou shalt accept that DEI didn't hold your career back -- you're just mid, bro.

Blessings on a Saturn-Day; may you get the severance of what no longer serves you, with the wisdom to let it go. May you rise to the occasion on every occasion, and the seasons pass under your fair hand. May you know the strength to overcome. #blessings #witchsky #pagansky #bethemagic

National treasure Selena Fox is on Bluesky!

I was just speaking of @rkelders.bsky.social's #CIRCE image last night, and how I think she's next to earn a space in my growing gallery of a shrine. Her eyes hold the intensity of a darkened sky, her hands stretched with power; she is a Witch Queen, and she's never looked better.

Blessings on a Venus-Day; May your heart be safeguarded by those around you. May you keep the defenses lowered in confidence that you are loved deeply, by the Gods, the Universe, and if by no other, than by me. May your heart be the babe-on-lotus; pure, open, and powerful. #blessings #witchsky

Blessings on a Mercury-Day; May the roads rise to meet you, and carry you to success. May the words come quickly, with wisdom and compassion behind them. May solutions to your problems be simple and clean. Let your mind work fast and your hands with clarity. #witchsky #Pagansky

Hail Zagreus Bromio - the times call for the emergence again of this one. Dionysos Eleutherios, the Liberator - liberation of the oppressed, the marginalized, misfits. May we be liberated from norms and nouns and may we be allies to those currently targeted. As we do this work, the Gods emerge.

Blessings on a Mars-Day; May your shield never break, holding fast against your enemies. May they be struck down by holy blows, and may their weaknesses be known to you. May your phalanx stand firm as you protect your brethren. #Witchsky #Blessings

Friend and mentor Jack Grayle is revisiting "GODSONG," a sorcerous journey through the ILIAD and ODYSSEY!

All the things we give up. Everything we say no to so that we can say yes to the divine. All the relationships we don’t follow up because there is this one. Lovers we have left, lovers who have died Because we couldn’t fully say yes to them. Because we can only say yes to this one. #BARBELO

Blessings on a Moon-day; may the winds guide you and keep you safe. May the Lady of 10,000 names speak yours in joy, and may the Lord of Light and Fury shine success into your every corner. #witchsky

A gentle reminder: this is my ONLY Bluesky account. I do not have "back up" accounts. I will never send you a private message. I will never try to solicit you for tarot readings. I do NOT read for the public. I do NOT have a "gmail" account for business. Do not fall for scammer accounts!

Another artist recommendation! @satyrmagos.bsky.social makes custom occult jewelry of the highest quality. Their works carry a weight and beauty that can't be captured on camera, and even unconsecrated, they *feel* magical.

Continuing my tradition of uplifting creators that inspire me - @rkelders.bsky.social makes transcendent spirit portraits that positively light up a space for worship. I am the proud owner of two of her prints, both regularly stop the breath in my lungs.

Happy holiday season from our temple to yours!

An up close and personal sneaky peak from my home scanner which isn't big enough to scan the entire drawing. Taking her to the print shop today! 🖤🖤🖤😁 Apotropaic Enodia, Phosphoros. Drakaina! In Nomine Hekate! 🔥🗝🐍🤍🐍🗝🔥

Looking for my people! I'm a #witch (for hire!) new to the platform. I practice historically-informed #witchcraft, #grimoiremagic #pgm #sorcery and operate a #temple dedicated to #Hekate and #Dionysus from my home. I love #horrormovies and #cats.
