Things you think you have to do as a witch that you don't have to do.
You have to wait an x amount of time before you can do–
No. You don’t have to wait. There is no prerequisites for being accepted into witchcraft. You wanted to be a witch and now you’re a witch. End of story. Now, I would advice you work on meditating and protection because you’re just gonna need it on your journey, but to flat out say you’re not allowed to do anything else but protection and meditation for a disclosed amount of years or whatever, that’s ridiculous. Do what feel is calling you.
You shouldn’t hex or curse because–
You shouldn’t tell people how to work their damn craft. If they want to hex or curse you let them. Hell, a few practices see cursing and hexing as major part of their ancestors history. If you don’t want to curse/hex don’t. But you don’t get to tell me or anyone else what to do like that. So try again.
You have to do the spell in this exact–
Absolutely not. No you don’t. It is your magic. Yours! You know your limits, your strengths and what you can do. The spell will adjust. Use what you can. Do not worry about doing it down to the letter. Yes there are main components to a spell but even they can be altered to what you have. It’s about intent! INTENT! Do not think for a moment that you have to bend over backwards to a spell “correctly”. That’s just how they did it and that’s okay. Just follow the main points, I assume you know common sense, and you should be fine.
Bonding with entities
Small offerings here and there
Invitation to touch/interact
Questions about them in general
Talking to them about your day/feelings

Giving them a space/an object to inhabit.
Singing/sharing music with them

Ouija (if you would like to…you don’t have to. Also be careful when doing any of these things but ouija seems to give everyone the heebie jeebies)
These can also be used to bond with your deities as well.

Things I’d Advise You NOT To Do
Seriously…Don’t. These are things that I have stupidly done, or I have seen someone else do. It would be wise to listen.
Do not give spirits your name: To many people and cultures, your name holds a lot of power. I may not know much of anything about the fae or fae witchcraft in general but I have read many witches are not a fan of giving out their name. Lots of witches go by their ‘witch’ name for this reason. I’ve even read you have to say you may call me (insert name here). But I don’t even like the idea of calling people by their name when we suspect spiritual activity. Imagine hearing a malicious entity calling you by your name. Growling it. Whispering it in your ear. I don’t even like when people here know my damn name when they’re alive. Imagine unseen forces having you, having power over you by your name. Don’t give them your damn name.
Do not challenge a spirit without knowing what you’re getting into: I stupidly called out a poltergeist in my spouses family home and I called it verbatim, “a little bitch”. Talk shit get hit still applies and I got socked in the eye. My eye was aching and burning for minutes after I said what I said. The spirit didn’t want to be seen and I was threatening it. Be prepared for anything to retaliate. Cause it just might.
Never Panic: I don’t care that you’re scared. I’ve been scared. I’ve been choked. You. Don’t. Panic. You’re going to do nothing but feed the damn thing that’s scaring you and that is no good. You won’t think straight when you panic, you won’t be rational if you panic and you can’t communicate well when you panic. It is okay to take a deep breath even right then and there. And just try and calm yourself. It’s okay to be scared, but do not panic.
Don’t be afraid to stand your ground: Let them know you’re not to be fucked with. Don’t falter to them. Speak your piece and be firm and kind. If they are posing an issue, you let them know you’re not going to stand for it. Stand your ground.
Don’t just assume the ghost you called for is there: Spirits are just as capable of lying just like you are. You ever hear your name with a voice you’re familiar with? You ever hear whispers in your ears that sounds like someone. Make sure you know you’re speaking to who you wanted to speak to.
Signs a Spirit Has Visited Your Dream
Whatever you were dreaming about previously comes to an abrupt stop, and a change in vibrational frequency occurs after the spirit appears.
The dream becomes more lucid, and you are able to act consciously and communicate effectively with the spirit.
Your sensory perceptions become clearer.
The dream’s scenery reverts back to your room, and you see the spirit inside your room or beside your bed.
After the spirit has given you an important message, you wake up between 3-4 AM.
You will instantly be able to recognise the spirit, often telepathically hearing it’s name.
Upon waking up, you are able to recount the dream in great detail.
The dream is accompanied by the spirit’s symbolism, especially if it is a deity.
You meet the spirit through a door or gateway - the astral threshold.
Depending on what kind of spirit has visited you, you may wake up feeling drained and with a headache.
My companions need constant attention wha-
Unapologetic Realness
🌾 You are allowed to unlearn parts of you that do not align with who you are now 🌾
💌 You are allowed to re-evaluate your beliefs
🍃 You are allowed to change your mind
🦋 You are allowed to redefine your identity
☀️ You are allowed to let go of behaviors and habits that hinder your growth
you're a forest dweller, sewing your own clothes, tending to your garden and foraging mother nature's goods 🧙🏻♀️✨
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.

Reminders for Witches with Mental Illness, Chronic Illness, Disabilities, or Disorders
Creating boundaries in your witchcraft is healthy, respect your own boundaries and don't let anyone give you shit because of them
Taking care of yourself is just as important as researching your practice, you need to be okay before anything else
Making your craft accessible to your mental and/or physical disabilities is a right, not a privilege
Witchcraft can 100% be used as a coping skill for mental illness (as long as it is practiced carefully and realistically)
You do not ever need to disclose your craft to anyone
You are not less of a witch for having different needs than Neurotypical or Non-disabled people
Your craft is as unique as you are and that is a good thing
