Ritual

Hello again! :) I had another question if you don’t mind!

Is it true that our hair color matches fur? Like dark hair = dark fur? Light hair = light fur?

Thanks!!

hello, it's not a problem at all!

I'm not 100% on hair color matching fur color, but it would make sense. I've heard it depends on your DNA, since if you're a shifter with unique pigment genetics (dragon shifters for example. I've heard that they come in all sorts of colors and aren't limited to "natural" colors) your fur/scales/feathers etc would match whatever's been passed down to you through genetics/DNA.

10 Things About Our Life as Traditional Witches That Seem Fictional

1. Our talismans disappear into thin air when we no longer charge them with incantations. Not stolen. Not misplaced. Disappeared.

2. Our tarot cards are fiercely loyal to us. When someone touches my decks without my permission, bad things happen to them.

3. We have a standing order for vengeance against people who do or say malicious things to us. We don’t need to cast a curse each time.

4. We make difficult deals all the time. That’s why manifestation is safer than sorcery. It doesn’t require you to give anything back for a wish.

5. We cannot go a week without eating native food. It would weaken our ties to our lineage. Our magic would stop working.

6. We can decide not to pass on our gifts to our children. Sometimes they have the wrong temperament, or are too weak to handle it.

7. There is a hierarchy that emerges naturally. Even if there are some who are older than me, they will call me “Ate” (elder sister) if I am more powerful than them.

8. We can try to learn a craft, but if it’s not meant for us, we will fail. Likewise, we can ignore a craft all our life, but if it’s meant for us, we will shine in it anyway. By craft, I mean divination, healing, spells and the like.

9. We recognize other people who have supernatural powers. It’s not as vulgar as seeing a light above them or seeing a shadow tailing them. We just know. So far, for me, it's never someone with Zodiac sign tattoos or moon earrings. At least in my country, magical people don't make it their personality.

10. We subtly talk about the craft to those who don’t believe, because a part of them always wonders. And that faith — no matter how faint — helps feed our magic.

the "therians/nonhumans know they're bodily humans" crowd is gonna be real surprised when they meet someone who claims to be a nonhuman in all ways including physically, or when they're shown physical proof of shapeshifting or other forms of physical nonhumanity lmao

For new witches:

You don’t have to accept everything you’re told, your journey is yours to create. Don’t feel pressured to label yourself or fit into someone else’s idea of what a witch should be. Trust your instincts, explore what resonates with you and remember that your craft is deeply personal and will evolve over time.

how does one start to shapeshift? i knew i always could. i just. dont know how

sorry if you arent the one to ask about this! i dont know where else to go lmao

have a great wonderful day, wishing you warmth and good things!

it's all good!

I'm still learning the ins and outs of shapeshifting too, so I'm not super knowledgeable off the top of my head, but I know this doc made by @clownshifting has different methods you can try (amongst other information too) Shifters: A Guide - Google Docs

have a good day and good vibes yourself, thank you!

the trees you grew up with have not forgotten you. their branches still whisper your name in the breeze and their roots remember the paths your feet once traced through their shade.

just a PSA to ALWAYS RESEARCH HERBS/PLANTS BEFORE PUTTING THEM IN YOUR BODY

did you know that st john's wort can induce serotonin syndrome? which is life threatening (and very painful!!) btw

did you know that red raspberry leaf can worsen hormonal imbalances and irregular menstrual cycles?

did you know that ginger (yes!! that ginger!! the one that's in every other tea recipe out there!!) can thin your blood? which can be life threatening for people with certain conditions

and there's so much more this community as a whole should be aware of, especially when considering herbs to consume or apply to the skin

the resource i use most often is just this wikipedia article, although you should do individual research just to double check

i don't make this post to try to induce widespread fear of herbal remedies/a good ol herbal tea now and then, im just saying that not everything natural is good for you, and sometimes modern medicine is right. always consider consulting a physician before self-medicating or trying potentially harmful substances
