I'm Up Already, Getting Jump Started On Some House Work, And Coffee Already Brewed. Said Good Morning

So I think, I realized what has been triggering my anxiety. On top work, trying to move, April 7, is when my step dad passed away. He treated me like I was one of his girls, raised me, taught me how to drive, fix irrigation systems, drive tractors, showed me how to work hard and be a good person, but most importantly...he showed me love.

It's been three years, but it doesn't hurt any less. I miss him very much!

Hello! Allow me to reintroduce myself!

I have managed to acquire some more traction on here, so I figured i would share a few things.

My name is Shelby

I'm a Gemini Sun, Scorpio Moon, Libra Rising

Like my intro header says my main Patron is Ra, but I do also communicate with Anubis

I'm currently a Sun witch with weather hobbies, but to quote video game character, "My muse is a fickle bitch with a short attention span!" -Sander Cohen, BioShock. I was heavily a divination witch, then I shifted to death witch, took a hiatus because of life, started off again with an interest in weather magic.

I'm also clairaudient, or at least have the tendency to be.

I still like divination, mostly Tarot, Oracle, and Pendulum.

Welcome to my blog, my asks and DMs are open. Come say hello!

At least in my part of Kansas, that tends to be the case. Even in bigger cities where I have to go if I want supplies or whatever, there's not much diversity. There might be a few other books on Hoodoo, Voodoo, and other beliefs and practices, but...mostly him and Buckland are almost like gospel.

You know, I also can't help but wonder just how Eurocentric some white witches' views of witchcraft are if they actually believe that something invented by a white man from Switzerland is a requirement for being a witch.

I HATE this insistence that we have a moral obligation to worsen our health for the "greater good!!"

"Don't ignore politics-"

STOP. STOP IT. If that's what it takes for you to survive, do it.

There's a reason in the mental hospital they block the news channels! It fucks people up! People find the world so damaged, future so hopeless, and situations so overwhelming they literally kill themselves!

Yes, yes, the activism guilt-tripping is supposed to be for those who simply don't care, but the disabled people who do care are the ones who wind up feeling guilty!

"It's a privilege to be able to ignore politics-"

No, it's a privilege to be able to pay attention to politics without having to be literally hospitalized.

Do. What. It. Takes. To. Survive.

"I need ALL of you to start paying attention-"

Wrong. You need all of us who are ABLE to start paying attention.

Do what it takes to survive.

They are asking you to join in a 70-mile hike up a mountain, where in order to win, as many people as possible must reach the top as quickly as possible! But you are in excruciating pain and have no legs! There is no accessible way up the mountain! In trying to climb the mountain, you will cause yourself irreparable harm and likely death! You feel bad, you're letting everyone down, you can't keep up, you're about to fall, but your friend is saying "hey, I get it, sometimes my legs get super sore, but you have to keep climbing! It's our duty! Keep going! The only way to save everyone is if we do this together!"

They DON'T get it. Even if they say "well I know so-and-so who also has no legs and he just uses his arm-strength and he's at the top already, what if I carry you for a few steps until you have your strength back?" You're not him! He's clearly aquired tools and strengthened muscles you have not, and might never be able to! Only YOU know what you can handle. Do not fall to your death because you feel guilty!

Survive.

Survive.

Sometimes, the biggest act of resistance is surviving.

I have this one! It's amazing!

If you're looking for additional information on working with the weather as part of your practise, I recommend having a look at Debra L. Burris' 'Weather Magic: Witchery, Science, Lore'

You can read a bit of it for free on Google Books to see if you're interested but it covers how to work with:

Whistling Up a Wind

Ocean Currents

Weather Fronts

Clouds

Rain

Snow / Sleet / Hail

Thunderstorms

Lightning

Tornadoes

Hurricanes / Cyclones

And a whole bunch of exercises and activities to do to build your understanding and confidence in doing weather related witchcraft.
