Medusa was a priestess of Athena before she was a gorgon. When Poseidon violated her, Athena was pissed. So she made sure it would never happen again, and gave her an armour no one could take away. The gaze that turns you to stone isn't evil. #mythologymonday #greek #greekmyth

#witchmadness26 Where in my chart am I called to lead? Lilith conjunct Algol on my Ascendant. Power here comes from refusing to make myself small to fit into neurotypical, patriarchal, able-bodied systems not made for me, that do not hold me.

Right now, my spiritual responsibility is towards myself. I hold up a mirror and to see where within myself I see the extraction gone too far. There is no lifeblood in a body made desert, giving everything without reciprocity. #witchmadness26

Looks how I feel

if you're embarrassed to say who you voted for might I suggest you RE-EXAMINE YOUR FUCKING LIFE CHOICES

Now more than ever I’m convinced losing Anthony Bourdain meant we lost probably the biggest person on tv who advocated for the wonders of meeting new people and calling anyone online who hated learning new cultures the children they were, ruthlessly to the camera.

Real safety in spiritual spaces means no bigots, no capitalist, patriarchal, extractionist ideology. reciprocity and respect. we don't all have to agree. we need to be protected our knowledge honored. safety to commune by dismantling systems of oppression. #witchmadness26

#witchysky #witchmadness26 I have become lighting and I strike myself first. I am choosing to release the conditioning of the christian patriarchal capitalist ways of being that have been internalized

Happy International Women's Day to the disruptors, the world creators, the weirdos, hags, punks and fairies. To all the sovereign queens🫰💖 🏳️‍⚧️

I get yelled at for saying this but for many hundreds of years people went to university not to get diplomas or be employable but because immersion in the humanities was considered foundational to a good life, and school must return to its original purpose: the joy of learning.

This is what it feels like to post on bluesky

Don’t be afraid.

Being visibly queer in public is an act of rebellion.

feels accurate

The fire we do not speak consumes us whole.

What part of yourself are you reclaiming this year, and how does that benefit your community? I am reclaiming my public face. I am reclaiming my voice. I am taking my name and saying, this is who I am. This is what my ancestors sacrificed for. I was on death's door for many years.

#witchmadness #witchsky Where have you mistaken neutrality for wisdom? I have spent most of my life in hiding. Hiding truths from the world, and from myself, to protect a vision of a perfect family, a perfect Greek diaspora daughter, a perfect student. The truths and tumult hidden beneath?

#witchsky #witchmadness Who does your magic protect beyond yourself? I am a midwife of the earth. I care for the animals and plants in my immediate community, I hold space from a distance for beings who are displaced, their pain unknowable. I care for the earth who's voice cannot be understood

What does being a witch require of you in today’s political climate? In this moment, as someone still disabled by invisible illness, my path requires informing myself and supporting my community who's directly affected by what's happening. My community is all over the world.

Catching up on #witchmadness if you have 70 likes from me it's because I've woken up and read the backlog. Will get around to the questions when the fatigue is less intense. Honoring where my body is at in this moment.

Do I actually like caffeine? Or do I think I like it because it makes me productive in a society that values output more than being?

as did most of my friends, apparently

It's always the fuckers with no #magick trying to tell you what to do with yours... #WitchSky

I AM NOT FUCKING LAZY. I am burnt out, overstimulated, and have been carrying emotional loads for YEARS that no one’s ever helped me hold.. I’M TIRED.

This year's energy is gorgon realness #witchmadness26

Back for round two thanks Michael 🖤

Reinstalled Bluesky, and I just realized I came back in March, during #witchmadness, quite on accident. Which of y'all sent out the siren call?

Anyways.

Να πω κάτι χωρίς παρεξηγηση. Όταν παίρνετε βοήθεια για να γράψετε ένα ποστ (τύπου ΑΙ) κάνει μπαμ, γιατί τυχαίνει να έχουμε ακούσει πώς εκφραζεστε κ απέχει πολυυυυυυ απ' αυτό το καλοφτιαγμένο κείμενο που αναρτατε. Δεν πειράζει, απλά να μην έχετε την ψευδαίσθηση ότι δεν το καταλαβαίνουμε

love isn't a feeling you fall into—it's a choice you climb toward every time you see someone clearly, flaws and all, and still choose to stay.

You know what I feel another spiritual responsibility is? Doing your d*mn shadow work. Just the first step of noticing your own emotions even. And if you have the ability to do the 4 other phases, fantastic. But even the first one helps the whole collective in ways we'll never witness.

This is my head. And I'm fucking pissed.

really tired of conversations about how we need to get people to spend more time offline that don't acknowledge that one of the reasons people ARE online is their access needs aren't being met in physical spaces. This is especially true for queer people and disabled people.

moving memories like a blood moon eclipse

My body was hurting so I pulled out a pot, added herbs and spices and made an herbal foot bath. I am the culmination of generations of women who worked fields, trekked hills, foraged medicine and food, and hid their pagan tools in Christian words. I am my ancestors' daughter.

Happy High Holiday to those who celebrate #plantsky #plantmagic #earthmagic #witchysky #witchmadness

The sphinx sits as a guardian of Thebes. All who wish to enter the city must answer a riddle or be killed and devoured τί ἐστιν ὃ μίαν ἔχον φωνὴν τετράπουν καὶ δίπουν καὶ τρίπουν γίνεται; What walks on four legs in the morning, two legs at noon, and three legs in the evening? #floklorethursday
