I Feel Like Maybe We Don't Talk About Envision/envisage Shifts Enough Because They're The Type Of Shift

Jfc let me touch this before some weird conspiracy theory pops up

On the whole debacle, since it's revving up-

• Silvër and her pack (what everyone is calling "the p-shifters of 2020") are not All P-shifters Ever, and were disliked by other members of the community. She deleted and remade because other shifters were getting on her case, and eventually went silent because she was unable to handle the pressure. Her pack has never been "every p-shifter", nor does every shifter agree with her opinions.

- Additionally, most shifters don't approve of abusers or cultists in the community. It's why Silvër was ran out of it, along with other abusers. It's why when dodgy people appear shifters tend to avoid them or disperse elsewhere, and why shifters do warn others about cults and unhealthy groups.

• "P-shifting has never been used in a derogatory sense": It is literally considered a trait of "fake therians" in some spaces. It is not a positive thing in the therian and otherkin community to be a p-shifter. People get banned for claims of p-shifting. People literally refused to interact with Xem directly because the post was made by a p-shifter. This is the definition of derogatory.

• Reclaiming a term: if by "reclaiming" you mean "using it in a way that isn't abusive" then actually yeah, I don't have an issue with that. Which is what I've seen most who want to reclaim the term want to do so for. Like, p-shifting doesn't inherently equal abuser - there's multiple groups who have used the term without forming unhealthy groups or packs, so it's not inherent to p-shifting as a concept. (See the Were vs. Therian debate and Social Media Sites part of The Shifter Timeline.)

• I thought p-shifters weren't delusional! You're changing your tune!": I can't speak for Silvër and her pack's views, but I still don't believe all shifters are delusional. While the definition of clinical lycanthropy necessitates delusions, a p-shifter is ANYBODY who claims to physically shift. P-shifters can't ALL be delusional because there's a wide variety of reasons why someone (even incorrectly!) might consider themselves a shifter. I've written about it before. I personally don't have a problem with delusional or schizospec people considering themselves p-shifters as long as other shifters aren't pushed out of the community, something I mentioned when I said, "as long as other shifters aren't defined out."

▪︎The claim that "P-shifters are purposefully targeting endels and delusional people": How? The shifters here (excluding Silvër and her defunct group) are not a pack. There's no concerted hivemind or effort to do anything, most of us are quite scattered honestly. As far as I'm aware most of us either post in our own tags, have warnings for delusional and clinical folk, or block them. This also goes both ways, so delusional folk can (and do!) also block us if they see something they cannot handle.

If we wanted to target endels, wouldn't we be posting in their tags? Wouldn't we be privately contacting endels with sensitive materials? Wouldn't we be making a concerted effort to make their lives miserable? And for what - an acutely psychotic person is uncontrollable (from what I know) so making them suffer in that fashion would only appeal to a sadistic abuser. Yet this is online, meaning that anybody trying to abuse others in that fashion would not even get to see that. How does that benefit anybody?

Those using the p-shifter label currently seem to be doing so because they're uncomfortable with the label of "clinical" or implying that their shifting is in any way false. Which tbh is fair, and since I do feel they have grounds to the label (it's not like they weren't already considered p-shifters by the community in some instances) I'm not bothered by them "reclaiming it". That's my reasoning, anyway.

the cycle of life

you don’t need 60 mini spell jars from etsy. you need FRESH AIR and THE SUN. ppl stop feeding witch overconsumption to baby witches and claiming they ‘NEED’ something for their practice. it’s ridiculous.

i’m currently working on a large post for free / extremely cheap witchcraft tips because this drives me up the wall.

•awakening (1/3•

My awakening isn’t something I’m too open about. I cannot find a single person who shares a similar experience as I. Due to this, I’m fearful and anxious about publishing this post, BUT I want to. Perhaps I’ll feel less alone by doing so. With that said, here goes. 🐺

It started off around late summer to early fall in 2012/2013. I had just moved into new house with my mother and made a few female friends who were around my age. After getting to know them a bit as kids, they both introduced me into the supernatural. At first, they mentioned they were vampires and they “turned into one” with the use of “online spells” from YouTube.

From what I recall, I wanted to be a vampire alongside with them. These two girls “turned” me with the online spells and boom. I thought it had worked. I was going to simply live my life as a vampire. Of course, I was fooled.

Later on around the age of 12/13, I had discovered “werewolf spells” once again all online. I did one and I thought it had worked. I thought I was experiencing “symptoms”. I stated what kind of wolf I wished to be. A polar wolf with yellow eyes.

Before my true awakening, I discovered the world of physical shifting and the community. I was beginning my journey into it and tried out mental shifting through various methods on my own. I recall I tried to visualize myself as a wolf but nothing came of it. Disappointed but still determined, I kept going…

Soon enough, I had heard my “friends” no longer believed in the supernatural but I still held onto the belief of it. I even told myself, “no one will ever take this away from me. I’m determined to see this through and to discover myself.” My gut told me to keep pushing, for there is more out there than I realized…

•awakening 2/3•

At this point in my journey at the age of 12 or 13 years old, I knew I was about to discover something bigger than myself. Excited, I just kept going.

I was uploading videos on YouTube of myself. My posts consisted of me posting about “real werewolf spells” and spiritual guides. I truly thought my guide was a wolf and nothing else. I’d do quizzes as well back then to “help” find more about myself as a wolf and my guide. I was also in contact with a friend of mine on Kik messenger back when it was gaining popularity.

While discovering that there were others out there who had similar experiences and beliefs of my own (p-shifting), I realized I was a lot less alone and more focused on how to shift physically. I also had tried out meditation all on my own. I even joined a lot of toxic “packs” on Kik from the ages of 12/13-16?

For a while however, I still felt lost. Lost about myself and those around me. I didn’t know what was real and what isn’t. I didn’t know if p-shifting truly existed. I just kept wanting to genuinely shift…

February of 2015 hits. By now I had moved out into the countryside, went to a middle school where I was bullied and other traumatic situations were happening. I recall however that I didn’t feel entirely alone anymore. I had created my own online pack where a lot of drama took place and I thought I was encountering real p-shifters. While none of us could p-shift, we were deep in belief.

In February of 2015, I had met someone online. Let’s call her C. C was only 13 and I was 15. I’ve never forgotten this moment ever. When C and I had met, I immediately let her join my pack. Something in me told me she was a legitimate nonhuman. After getting to know her personal experience and life in DMs, we became close friends…

I remember as clear as day about this experience. It was winter and there was a severe snowstorm brewing. This was at nighttime. The electricity went out, we used candles for lighting, I had zero internet, and it was freezing. I recall looking at my phone while my data was in and out. Typing out a message to my pack, I was bombarded with messages…

It was about C…

•awakening 3/3•

As my messages from Kik were surprisingly delivered, C had vivid flashes of wolves. Visions from a deep meditation she had done.

While my memory doesn’t serve me well, I was in shock at what C had seen. I knew it wasn’t just make believe or lies… this was all real.

She managed to make contact with various wolves. She had seen an entire pack one at a time.

The winter storm was blowing and wind was howling. As I read through these messages, she had seen the following:

• a pure-ish looking white as snow polar wolf with yellow eyes laying down in snow.

• some sort of black wolf but I cannot recall what it was doing.

• a cream blonde wolf with white and pale green eyes. Medium in size. This was C’s vision of her wolf, Fern. Her wolf was standing side by side with mine. A silver looking black phase wolf with mahogany eyes by the name of Dusk…

I had seen photos of Dusk like a mixture between two reference photos as seen in the second and third photo. In shock, I was surprised that she had seen these wolves.

On the day of my near awakening, the electricity came on. I was all happy about it however curious of what else was said by C. DMing her, I asked about what happened. I cannot recall the conversation due to time, but she had shown me the photos. She suggested I look on my own for a better photo and see what I feel…

Feeling it out, I came across a photo of a particular wolf (timber I believe). I had shown the photo to C and she had said it was what she saw, expect for a few minor details were different.

At this point, I cannot recall how exactly I awakened or what triggered it, BUT I’ll always remember what I felt.

It was like something came to life again from a deep state of sleep. Dormancy if you will. I had truly felt something was.. with me. It was like another presenc but female in nature. At this point, I was told to meditate immediately afterward. It was like another being was with me and always had been… Dusk it was.

I only really remember feeling her in my mind. I felt her emotions and energy throughout me. She felt close to the surface and at the forefront of my mind. It was a new sense of energy. It was as if I could feel my wolf throughout my veins. From here, the rest is simply history.

Thank you for reading!! 🌸🐺

We've been seeing a lot of beings in the community being ridiculous about physical and biological nonhumanity so here's this for yall.

(Everything stated here is based off of what we've seen/read and experienced ourself. We're not trying to "indoctrinate" anybody.)

-Physical nonhumans who are physically nonhuman metaphorically (this is my body, I am this, therefore my body is this) are valid.

-Physical nonhumans who are physically nonhuman literally are valid.

-Physical nonhumans who are physically *and* biologically nonhuman are valid.

-Physical nonhumans who experience delusions regarding their nonhumanity are valid.

-Physical nonhumans who are literally physically and/or biologically nonhuman who don't believe themselves to be delusional are valid. (me btw)

-Physical nonhumans who are literally physically and/or biologically nonhuman who don't believe themselves to be delusional even after being diagnosed are valid.

-Physical nonhumans who experience delusions regarding their nonhumanity AND who don't want/have the energy (or for whatever reason) to double bookkeep when talking about those experiences are valid.

-And any other physical and/or biological nonhuman experiences I missed (sorry /gen) YOU ARE VALID.

-Physical and biological nonhumanity in any way or form is valid.

Everyday witchy tips

Not everyone has time for daily spells or rituals, here are some witchy acts to incorporate a bit of magic into your day!

Glamour magic while getting ready for the day, while washing your face first thing in the morning imagine washing away all negative thoughts. Draw sigils with sunscreen/daycream/foundation on your face, incorporate color magic (eyeshadow, lipstick, nails). Braid your hair with an intention for the day (being protected against harm, attracting luck etc.)

Color magic while getting dressed; red for confidence and strength, yellow and orange for happiness and energy, green for attracting luck and abundance, blue for focus and communication, pink for (self)love, purple for intuition and wisdom, black for protection, white for purity and protection. Gold jewelry for the sun, succes and prosperity, and silver jewelry for the moon and intuition.

Drinking herbal tea, start the day with a warm cup of tea. This can be made with fresh herbs from the garden, or from tea bags. Stir clockwise with a teaspoon or the teabag it self to put an intention in your tea for the day.

Crystals in pockets, bags, even your bra. Choose an crystal for the day, charge it with it’s intention and carry it with you.

Shielding from negative energies, imagine being surrounded by a white light that protects you. Or have a short mantra that you can say to yourself or in your head when needed, this can be as simple as 'I am protected against negative energies in any shape or from'

Showering, washing any lingering energy, thoughts or negative feelings away from the day. If you have trouble imagining negative energy washing off you in a color, see the soap you are washing off as this energy. Watch it flow away from you into the shower drain.
