I Didn't Come Here To Get Called Out... 😬

Bit of a long story...

My name is Finn, and I named myself after the giant Finn McCool in Irish mythology. He created the Giant's Causeway.

Full myth from the Giants Causeway Tour website.

Here's the link if you want to read more.

As legend has it, Northern Ireland was once home to a giant named Finn McCool (also called Fionn Mac Cumhaill). When another giant – Benandonner, across the Irish Sea in Scotland – threatened Ireland, Finn retaliated by tearing up great chunks of the Antrim coastline and hurling them into the sea. The newly-created path – the Giant’s Causeway – paved a route over the sea for Finn to reach Benandonner.

However, this turns out to be a bad idea as Benandonner is a massive giant, much bigger than Finn! In order to save himself, Finn retreats to Ireland and is disguised as a baby by his quick-thinking wife. When Benandonner arrives, he sees Finn disguised as a baby and realises that if a mere baby is that big, the father must be far larger than Benandonner himself!

Following this realisation, Benandonner rushes back to Scotland, tearing away as much of the Causeway as he can in his haste to put as much distance between Ireland and himself as possible. And thus, the myth of the Giant’s Causeway was born.

okay I actually have another piece of advice for beginner witches that I've been mulling over.

I want to talk about ✨research✨

I think when some people hear 'research', they picture people reading thick textbooks or historical documents in a library, or tower, or bedroom or what have you , and they picture these witches deeply studying then coming out of that session with a thorough understanding of what they were studying and can apply it perfectly to their craft.

Now, some people might learn well like this and more power to them, but I know I don't, and if you're reading this and you're like me, I'm here to tell you that research takes many forms.

When you buy a witchcraft book, and I do recommend reading/listening to books, you don't have to finish it before trying things. Sometimes research is reading something you find compelling in a book, then going and trying it for a week before continuing reading.

Sometimes research means being in a community of witches, whether that's two friends or a local group, and trying out techniques they've described to see if they work for you.

Sometimes not getting the results you were hoping for is research because then you can figure out why and it improves your craft.

The point of this post is, don't be afraid to include practical application to your craft. I have spent a lot of time thinking I needed to perfect the knowledge in my mind before trying anything and I'm here to tell you that more often than not, it won't work.

You can't know what works for you if you're not working it (or something idk)

you gotta do stuff and not compare yourself to the image of a perfect witch that you've created in your brain

Maybe, just maybe if I lay down in the forest long enough the mushrooms will consume me and I won't have to deal with capitalism anymore... 🍄🍄🍄

Just admit you're not pro life...

You're Anti-woman being allowed to do what she decides with her own body.

Things will be a lot easier on you if you just admit it.
