Today’s tip: Two things you need in the Witchy/Pagan/Druid/etc. communities: A thick skin and a sense of humor. #WitchSky #WitchTips #PaganSky #OccultSky

Today’s tip: From President Franklin D. Roosevelt's State of the Union Address on January 6, 1941, known as the Four Freedoms Speech: Freedom of speech Freedom of worship Freedom from want Freedom from fear Would make a nice chant, wouldn't it? #WitchSky #WitchTips #PaganSky #OccultSky

Today’s tip: I am an expert on some things but not all things. Even with my expert topics I can still learn new things. Don’t rely only on ideas you learned already, be open to the new. #WitchSky #WitchTips #PaganSky #OccultSky

Today’s tip: With my first working circle often when we gathered everyone would say they were too tired to do ritual but eventually we would. We were too tired to maintain unconscious shielding so we just surrendered to the process & ritual would be great. #WitchSky #WitchTips #PaganSky #OccultSky

Today’s tip: I just covered the bird cage and I thought, what am I going to do next, it’s too early to go to bed. And then I though, SAYS WHO? So I’m turning off the laptop and going to bed. You're the grownup, make the rules. #WitchSky #WitchTips #PaganSky #OccultSky

Happy #October, #witches!! I love the fall season, with the orange blanket of falling leaves and warmth of pumpkin spice lattes on a cool morning. Celebrate however you celebrate! 🎃 👻 ☕️ 🍁 🍃 🍂 #samhain #funny #memes #witchsky #pagansky #occultsky #turningofthewheel #halloween #ghost

I miss him.

Today’s tip: In magical workings, engage as many senses as you can: something to smell, taste, touch, see, hear. Movement will engage your kinesthetic body. Singing engages a different part of the brain than speaking does. Bring all of you to the altar. #WitchSky #WitchTips #PaganSky #OccultSky

Today’s tip: Aleister Crowley once said, one needs to be a skeptic outside the circle but a believer within. You can accept that magic is real without losing your grounding in everyday life. #WitchSky #WitchTips #PaganSky #OccultSky

Today’s tip: A paradox of magic is, you need to believe for it to work, but belief alone will not make it work. #WitchSky #WitchTips #PaganSky #OccultSky

Today’s tip: If you want to do something, change something, learn something, move somewhere, do it. Circumstances change. Do it now. #WitchSky #WitchTips #PaganSky #OccultSky

Today’s tip: There are times when the best you can manage is to do something half-@ssed. That’s still better than not doing it at all. #WashOneDish #WitchSky #WitchTips #PaganSky #OccultSky

From personal experience I can say that consciously choosing to not cuss online has changed my social media experience for the better. And I cuss less IRL, too. Not that I can't, I just don't. Explore this gift article from The New York Times. You can read it for free without a subscription.

New type of ‘sieve’ detects the smallest pieces of plastic in the environment more easily than ever before

Witchcraft may be your "path" but magic is a practice.

“The Christ-symbol is as much a product of the collective unconscious as it is of history.” new article in bio 🏔️✨📚 #pagansky #writersky #booksky #psychsky

Every year…

Today’s tip: If you played the piano, you listen to piano music. If you’re a writer, you read a lot. Of course, your playing or writing will be unique to you. If you do magic, no harm in checking out what other magicians are doing. It’s still your own. #WitchSky #WitchTips #PaganSky #OccultSky

Today’s tip: Special garments or accessories (scarves, jewelry, etc.) worn only for spellwork or ritual help shift you into a magical state of mind, an altered state of conscious where you are focused and ready to do the work at hand. #WitchSky #WitchTips #PaganSky #OccultSky

Even in this age of police bodycams and bystander videos, there are certain categories of footage that most media organizations won’t share with the public. But it’s hard to imagine today’s media suppressing, as they did in 1937, footage from the anti-labor crackdown that resulted in 10 deaths.

Today’s tip: Initiation in my world is a matriculation — a beginning of education — not a graduation or end of education. The rite turns a key in a door; you are given energy and insights that allow you to progress. #WitchSky #WitchTips #PaganSky #OccultSky

Today’s tip: Paraphrasing Starhawk, you can spend an excessive amount of time warding your home or you can lock the doors and windows. Start with the mundane. #WitchSky #WitchTips #PaganSky #OccultSky

Today’s tip: Fake it till you make it is useful for magic and ritual, not so useful if you don’t know how to drive a car, and is very useful when you are trying to be a better person. #WitchSky #WitchTips #PaganSky #OccultSky

Quote of the day: "Human kindness has never weakened the stamina or softened the fiber of a free people. A nation does not have to be cruel to be tough." -- FDR

Unfortunately, Bluesky is unavailable in Mississippi right now, due to a new state law that requires age verification for all users. While intended for child safety, we think this law poses broader challenges & creates significant barriers that limit free speech & harm smaller platforms like ours.

A foe to tyrants, and my country’s friend.

Today’s tip: Wanted to share this quote which applies not just to sports but to magical workings and ritual, too. "Worrying gets you nowhere. If you turn up worrying about how you’re going to perform, you’ve already lost." - Usain Bolt #WitchSky #WitchTips #PaganSky #OccultSky

"Years ago, I tried to top everybody, but I don't anymore. I realized it was killing conversation. When you're always trying for a topper you aren't really listening." - Groucho Marx #jokes #courtesy #listening

Today’s tip: Candles that burn unevenly can mean: 1. Cheap candle 2. Wick is not centered (see number 1) 3. There’s a draft 4. Something magically relevant. Consider 1-3 before moving to 4. #WitchSky #WitchTips #PaganSky #OccultSky

🌌 Ruminating traps us in a harmful loop of “why me?” Reflection, though, is a compassionate mirror for growth, asking “what can I learn?” Notice the heavy spiral vs. light clarity. Stop ruminating: ground, time it, release. #MysticMysteries #ShadowWork #AwakeningAlchemy #witchsky #mentalhealth

I have a weird relationship with curry. I like to eat it but I don't like how it smells. Same with chickpeas, good to eat but if I'm making them from scratch I dislike the smell while they are cooking. Anyone else experience this? (Just finished a bowl of curried chickpeas.) #food #foodmadness

Today’s tip: Dwelling on shortcomings gives them more power. If you insult yourself, follow it with 2-3 compliments. “I am such a jerk! But my hair looks good and my shoes are tied.” Did you laugh? That makes it even better. 🙃 #WitchSky #WitchTips #PaganSky #OccultSky

Today’s tip: When learning any skill there are points where you plateau, where it seems you’re not making any progress. Keep going. There will be breakthroughs. You’ll surprise yourself. #WitchSky #WitchTips #PaganSky #OccultSky

Don't waffle.

I’m an agnostic when it comes to afterlife or reincarnation. Nonetheless, I have had experiences for which the easiest explanation is reincarnation. As for an afterlife, I’ll find out when I find out. “The undiscovered country from whose bourn no traveller returns.” #WitchSky #PaganSky #OccultSky

Today’s tip: Equal and opposite reactions happen in physics but not in magic or life. Success with a spell doesn’t mean something bad will happen to “even things out.”. Something good doesn’t need to happen to equal out that bad day you just had. #WitchSky #WitchTips #PaganSky #OccultSky

Fines, fees, and criminal citations don’t solve homelessness – providing care and housing does.

Reminder: Healing doesn’t mean becoming someone new. It means becoming MORE you. 🌿 #witchsky

Today’s tip: Some people can’t handle the rising energy of group work so they use humor to break the tension. Unfortunately, that means you have to start building the energy all over again. Don’t be that person. Roll with the discomfort. #WitchSky #WitchTips #PaganSky #OccultSky

Witch tip: Scented candles from the grocery store. You can even match the scent to what spell, deity, element, or spirit you’re working with. Cleanse the candle, mark it and set your intention. Also, don’t need to pile a bunch or dried herbs, glitter, and crystals on top. Fire hazard. #witchsky

Today’s tip: Magical names are fun but don’t have to be super “witchy”. Simple is fine; in Gerald Gardner’s coven, people took names like “Elizabeth” and “Robert”. One group I knew finally forbad names that included “Night” or “Hawk.” #WitchSky #WitchTips #PaganSky #OccultSky

Witty placards ain’t gonna cut it this time, guys.

I’d better not ever hear the Democrats say they can’t pass something without 60 Senators because of the FiLiBuStEr again. The filibuster does nothing. You don’t have to break it. You just wait it out and pass what you wanted to pass LIKE THE REPUBLICANS DO.

I don’t know who needs this today, but here you go..

Today’s tip: It’s nice to do something witchy every day, but if you don’t, it doesn’t make you any less of a Witch. Nobody’s keeping score. (If somebody is, you don’t need them in your life.) #WitchSky #WitchTips #PaganSky #OccultSky

Today’s tip: Magic doesn't work miracles or do the impossible, magic nudges the possible into the probable. #WitchSky #WitchTips #PaganSky #OccultSky
