Things You Think You Have To Do As A Witch That You Don't Have To Do.

🚩 Witch Red Flags 🚩

These are some things that I consider red flags in witches I have come across before:

Believes only women can be witches.

Believes that magic/spirituality/energy/crystals can cure mental illness, physical illness, chronic illness, and disorders.

Doesn't respect closed paths or practices.

Tells others how their paths should be.

Won't stop telling witches they need to protect themselves from deities.

Thinks they are more powerful than anyone else, won't stop talking about how powerful they are.

Judges all witches with Wiccan rules.

Treats baby witches like they are somehow idiots and don't deserve respect.

Calls themselves a fancy title without being able to back it up.

Thinks hereditary witches are more powerful/better than first generation witches.

These are just a few I've noticed. If you know of any others, add them in reblogs or replies!

Why are ‘witch tips’ always like “use quartz as a substitute for any crystal!” and not the good stuff like “River spirits are almost always looking to fuck shit up, so if you rile em up and then feed them a name, they’ll lay someone tf out.”

Just letting people know that "Shifting", that thing on TikTok that was popular, isn't real.

Dream scripting however is, and has been used to help people cope with PTSD dreams and other negative dreams. It is a useful skill, but you have to understand that it is a dream.

Lucid dreaming is also very real, and very fun! I've done it multiple times, and it's a skill you can learn.

"Shifting" is dangerous because it ends up targetting mental ill people and vulnerable people who want to escape their current reality and believe they are actually going to another reality. This can cause them to ignore their real life, the real world, and their real health.

This is a very unhealthy coping mechanism and I cannot stress enough that "Shifting" is not real.

"Shifting" is dangerous to believe in because it can seriously impact people's mental health. And I am so sorry to those who do believe in shifting, I really want you to reach out to a therapist to try and find healthy coping skills so you don't feel the need to escape this reality.

Gentle witch little things

Simple things you can do to bring more love and positivity into the world:

enchant the bus or train you’re on, so that everybody has a pleasant day or a safe travel home

paint protective sigils in the misty windows of buses or shops when it rains, and leave words of encouragement and praise on public bathrooms’ mirrors

bless passing ambulances and firefighter trucks with speed and safety for their patients/destination

wear an enchanted lipstick/gloss for your smile to brighten the day of everybody you meet

enchant your spare change so that it gives luck to the beggars you donate it to; they need it, don’t they?

actually, just enchant your money, so that retail and low-wage workers can have a better day when they serve you

leave blessed acorns and harmless trinkets in various places like buses or waiting rooms; give other people something to wonder about and make their day, and kids an item to roll in their hands mindlessly

bless food and leave it for stray animals; let birds be messangers of hope and miraclous event for everybody that sees them

whisper encouragement to trees and grass you pass by; let them know someone cares, someone sees their beauty, and awaits their bloom

smile at children and pets; provide them with the positive energy that the world is trying to kill in them

leave motivational notes, praise and silly drawings charged with love and hope on post-it notes as you go; they can brighten the day of those that find them

kitchen ghosts

Please, don’t joke about someone’s weight, facial features, insecurities, trauma, appearances, misery and scars. Know that those things are very sensitive. Please be kind always.
