Today’s ritual tip: A drum is like an additional person in your ritual. Bad drumming is as bad as a disruptive person in your ritual. The drummer should watch the rite leader and speed up, slow down, go quieter, go louder and the rite requires. #WitchSky #WitchTips #PaganSky #OccultSky #RitualTips

Today’s ritual tip: After a public ritual an elder said to me, “It’s not that they couldn’t raise energy, it’s that they didn’t do anything with the energy they raised.” It just fizzled out. What do you do with ritual energy? #WitchSky #WitchTips #PaganSky #OccultSky #RitualTips

Today’s tip: If you expect to burn a candle completely, put an insulating layer of salt, sand, or cat litter between the candle & the dish. Go double if you're using incense charcoal. Use with metal dishes, too, so you don;t scorch the surface under it. #WitchSky #WitchTips #PaganSky #OccultSky

"How do you know if you can trust a spirit?" The same way you learn if you can trust another living person: I take my time to get to know them & study their actions, values, motivations, and goals. You absolutely don't have to immediately trust any spirit who shows interest in you. #OccultSky

Witch Tip: One way that you can practice the skill of discernment is to use the "CRAAP Test" to determine whether or not a source of information is trustworthy and viable for your research. It's much harder for misinformation to lead us astray when we take time to evaluate sources first. #OccultSky

Light and Heat go hand-in-hand in physics and the metaphysical. So, if you're not a visualizer, instead of seeing Divinity as Light, it may be easier for you to *feel* Divinity as Heat. #WitchSky #OccultSky

Today’s tip: Focus on quality work over quantity. The conundrum is, it may take a lot of so-so work before you consistently get quality work. Keep at it. But remember, practicing with bad mechanics does not make you a better tennis player. #WitchSky #WitchTips #PaganSky #OccultSky

Today’s tip: It’s perfectly OK to look up Tarot card meanings in the book. Everyone starts that way. In time it’ll come together for you. Over time some cards may talk to you with different meanings; if that works for you it’s good. #WitchSky #WitchTips #PaganSky #OccultSky #Tarot #divination

Today's unpopular opinion: Cord cutting should involve the active use of a sharp tool to cut an actual cord. Watching and waiting for a candle to burn a cord is passive. There are many ways to do things but some things are more effective than others. #WitchSky #WitchTips #PaganSky #OccultSky

Today’s ritual tip: Before there was theater there was ritual. Theater's roots are in ritual. Don’t be afraid of being “theatrical”, theatrical is historically correct. #WitchSky #WitchTips #PaganSky #OccultSky #RitualTips

Today’s ritual tip: If you need to teach a chant do it before the ritual starts. Note that most people are not going to remember more than two or three lines of something new. It can be longer if lines repeat or if some people know it already. #WitchSky #WitchTips #PaganSky #OccultSky #RitualTips

Today’s ritual tip: If you want everyone to step a certain way or do hand/arm/body movements at certain times in the rite, explain and practice with the group before the ritual starts. #WitchSky #WitchTips #PaganSky #OccultSky #RitualTips

Today’s tip: Ancestor reverence doesn’t mean you revere everything and anything an ancestor did. Just acknowledge that without that chain of ancestors, you would not exist. Could be producing you is the best thing any of them ever did. Say thanks for that. #WitchSky #WitchTips #PaganSky #OccultSky

"The theory of democratic government is not that the will of the people is always right, but rather that normal human beings of average intelligence will, if given a chance, learn the right and best course by bitter experience." -W.E.B. Du Bois, educator, activist, and writer (23 Feb 1868-1963)

Today’s ritual tip: If asked to take a part in a ritual, don’t say, “I’m not ready.” You’ll never be ready. Just do it. The more often you do it, the more ready you’ll be. PS: They wouldn’t have asked if they thought you weren’t ready. #WitchSky #WitchTips #PaganSky #OccultSky #RitualTips

Dear freelance artists who worry about charging too much: I work on a TV show that outsources incredibly simple graphic printing because we have too much to do in house. I've seen the purchase orders - You are not charging too much.

Americans would be just fine “moving on” from the Epstein Files, if they’re replaced with the Epstein Trials.

The irony of a tombstone that would read ”here lies Donald Trump” is that he lies everywhere.

Where animism stretches our awareness to the web of connection around us, witchcraft teaches us how to feel the pulse of those connections, to feel out along the threads—forwards and backwards—and to act upon the knowledge gleaned. #WitchSky #PaganSky

Today’s ritual tip: You might find a poem or song or activity that you think would be great in a ritual, but don’t just toss it into any ritual, wait for a ritual where it fits the purpose. Just because we like it doesn't mean it's gonna help. #WitchSky #WitchTips #PaganSky #OccultSky #RitualTips

ICE isn't law enforcement without training; ICE is white nationalism with guns.

If Alex didn’t have a gun on him they’d have made up some other excuse like he had a crazed look in his eye or he made a verbal threat or that he was made of fentanyl. The specific lie is irrelevant. Just that there will always be one.

Today’s unpopular opinion: The Kybalion is great for understanding metaphysical thought as it was at the turn of the last century, but otherwise not terribly useful today. The whole gender thing now makes me cringe. I won't teach it again. #WitchSky #PaganSky #OccultSky #Kybalion

Today’s ritual tip: Think of the parts of rituals as components. You can use that circle casting again, quarter calls again, save things that work to mix and match in the future. Don’t need to do everything from scratch every time. #WitchSky #WitchTips #PaganSky #OccultSky #RitualTips

As a biochemist I cannot say it more. STOP W THE MILK. You need to wash with soapy water to get tear gas and pepper balls/spray off of you. It is NOT MILK-Soluble . Also remove clothing & leave outside by cutting the clothing off. Leave SHOES outside & even under clothing for gas. 👀.
