I have had a few bad crystal shop experiences recently with exploitative or unsafe people so wanted to make a general psa for other young women to watch out for someone who's energy seems off or bad. Just because they seem to be spiritual doesn't mean they are a safe person to be around, and if your getting weird vibes, don't feel guilty just get yourself out of the situation quickly and safely. xxx
This is my first altar, I've put lavender sea salt and rosemary as a protection guard and have various things which represent house spirits , a single binocular to represent intuition and my favourite book of poetry as an offering to Brigid as well as the red candle which is for her. I also have a protection candle which is a tealight with sea salt and black pepper for banishing negative energy . ( Crystals too!!)
Hi all, I don't know if I'm articulating this correctly, but does anyone else feel as if 'male centered' has become a new term to 'slut shame' or put other more vulnerable or insecure women down . I have heard both men and women use this term to criticise women especially online. I can't help but think it's being overused and is almost reminiscent of purity culture? As a young woman myself, I have definitely been friends with a few women who are truly 'male centered' and have put mine and their own safety at risk in order to garner validation from them, but I also think that shaming the woman is genuinely not going to get us anywhere. Of course some of us will be male centered, we literally live in a system which thrives on men, even if a woman is educated it still doesn't stop her from being caught in an abusive relationship with a man, and others from the outside may just put her down as being 'male centered' as it is much easier to blame her rather than the very system that allowed this to happen. It seems frankly unfeminist and uncompassionate to label a woman just seeking validation from a man as being merely male centered.
i have made a jar to draw general love , reconciliation with those i care about and happiness into my life targeting no one specific and i only wrote my name and DOB on the paper. I asked for more self compassion , platonic and clear communication from everyone in my life. Is this in any way unethical ?
