Hey everyone, this is my first post on this sub, but I've been on reddit for years. I made some blue candles this past week, to use in a ritual against generative AI. I wanted to post a picture in the hopes of at least inspiring others, if they feel the same way about AI as I do (as it seems, many people also seem to loathe this trend).

I performed my first Anti-AI ritual this recent Thursday, but plan on using these next three for this upcoming Tuesday. In my mind, it makes sense to have these rituals on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Anti-tech company Tuesday/Thursday, if you will.

Here is an example of the petition I wrote:

"Oh [Deity of your choice]!

I pray to thee!

May this generative A.I.

cease to be!".

I hope this inspires others. Even if you don't make your own candles, I'm sure that buying blue ones at the store would work too. Remix the petition as you will. I'm sure that everyone has their own way of doing their rituals. 😉💙

Making the actual fairies doesn’t take a lot of time, but adding all of the ending embellishment like glitter, Micah, wings, gems, and the fairy gardens do. I’m not really sure how to make it go any faster. Let me know if you have any ideas. I’ve considered making the wings out of clay or resin, but I don’t know.

Made my first bowl bowl today and hopefully it turns out well ! I added some glamour oil to it not sure if it will makes a difference. How often should I change my money bowl ? Understand that I have to feed it regularly does it mean just adding more notes and coins into it ? TIA :)

I just got my first spell book and I’m honestly so excited. I’ve been wanting to start learning more about witchcraft, and this feels like a huge step for me.If anyone has tips for beginners or things I should keep in mind while starting out, I’d love to hear them!

So I’m a diagnosed autistic witch, and in the past I’ve struggled with sound cleansing a lot

Before I got my cat, I would smoke cleanse, but I can’t do that now

So I decided to look into instruments, specifically different types of flutes.

I really wanted a kind that could play two or more notes at once, because harmonics are very sensory pleasing to me. So I feel like I can just close my eyes, enjoy it, and really focus on the cleansing aspect

Well I couldn’t find one that wasn’t tied to Native American culture, and I’m white, so I didn’t wanna appropriate. So I decided to try to make my own with PVC pipes

So I drew up a quick sketch, it should play three notes at once

How does your autism affect your practice?

I'm a beginner but I've drawn the same cards 4 times. I'm not super good yet but isn't it about self destruction or some bad shit? Well I need advice from the best cause I don't always know how to interpret the cards. Thanks in advance!!!( Oh and sorry it's a french version)

Some Tea Magic with Rose for health, meadowsweet for the aspirin like compound, and rosemary for healing. Rose has a sedative like effect, meadowsweet fosters peace, and rosemary for mental clarity. So a good calming tea as well. Oh and I’d ya smoke some weed it interacts nicely. 🙃

🫂🕯️Blessed Mercury Retrograde soul family. Mercury Retrograde is from June 29th to July 23rd. Have you been having a rough time managing your emotions this Mercury Retrograde? Trust me, you are not alone. Learn more about how to manage the energy of Mercury Retrograde in the following reading.

In Astrology, Mercury represents our thoughts, opinions, information, intellect, writing, speech, listening, and mind. Mercury is the fastest planet to orbit the Sun, it goes around the Sun in 88 days. This is why Mercury goes retrograde 3 to 4 times a year. We can see retrograde motion with a telescope. Mercury retrograde is an optical illusion created by the difference in speed between the Earth and Mercury as it travels around the sun. Mercury appears to be moving backwards during a mercury retrograde.

Mercury Retrograde is currently in Cancer ♋🦀. This Mercury Retrograde is about following your instincts and intuition, the voice within that shows you the best way forward. Spend time slowing down and connecting with your emotions. Try not to be judgmental, be kind with yourself. Many astrologers associate Mercury Retrograde with heightened emotions. Some people feel more nervous, scatterbrained, anxious, or a little more shaky during Mercury Retrograde periods. Mercury is a planet that lacks atmosphere so it moves from very hot to very cold fast. Many astrologers may see Mercury's dramatic shifts in temperature as being symbolic of powerful emotional changes, like a rollercoaster of intense emotions. Mercury Retrograde could also be a learning period for you where you are taught new things about the way you can communicate with others.

This is a great time for home, hearth, and family magick. You may be redecorating or renovating a home in your life. Now is a great time to get in touch with friends and family. You may be throwing a party, family reunion, or other get together with loved ones. You may enjoy reading and watching documentaries more at this time. You may be feeling sensitive about this Mercury Retrograde. Try analyzing your habits, feelings, and dreams by keeping a journal. You may want to work with water magick by speaking your intentions into water before drinking it.

Hey gals, guys and theys!

I just thought i would share my main altar + 1 altar for the Goddess i made. I have cats and i love them more than i love myself, so i decided no insense, harmful herbs, essential oils or candles (except for banishing, which i do in the bathroom with closed doors, and an occasional coconut wax candle close to the window for ventilation). My altar is inside a glass door cabinet - away from cats- and i use led candles when energy does not need to be consumed, and - im very proud of this one - my one and only cauldron umidifier. I add selene tears to it (moon water), and use them as a substitute for "energy being consumed" on candles. When i need a color candle, i paint my own led candles.

I worked really hard on building my altar (i painted the Horned God and Goddess myself) and still working on adapting everything for a cat safe experience, and i think its beautiful. My motto is: if using this will harm my cats, then its not for me.

Do you have your own practice adpated for the modern world and cats??? Would love to see it!

Hey everyone, I’m a beginner just getting into this stuff, and I found this chart of the “Witches’ Alphabet” (Theban script). I’m wondering if it’s actually accurate. Is this the correct version, or is there a different witches’ alphabet that people use today?

Any info or experience would help.
