Literacy is activism.
Reading is a political act.
Books are tools for liberation.

Mugwort delicately arches under the remnants of yesterday's rain. Rosebush in the background.

Mugwort is one of my favorite plants for witchcraft. It's used to enhance intuition, psychic powers, and makes dreams more vivid. The first part of its name, Mug, comes from its use in brewing, and wort can mean plant, medicinal herb, or a liquid used in brewing. #WitchSky #GreenWitch

& while I don't doubt practitioners can make powerful magick using the old material, I believe the hair/nails/etc acts as a fuel source rather than a connection in a spell providing as much time to manifest as the material takes to breakdown.

So old dna becomes difficult to access as they are no longer active in the present experience, even if time flows more like an estuary/ocean (& why past/future/simultaneous incarnations aren't easily accessible either).

I believe that each individual strand of dna in every living cell acts as tethers to the (progressing) present in a timeline for our souls which house our bodies within (& our Spirit(s) are immeasurably large housing our souls). & our Egos interrupt the present from within the body & 3D experience.

I don't believe that either shed or cut hair or nail clippings will act as a connection to a person in sympathetic magicks because of how our dna works. #witchsky

🔊 New Episode!

Yes, there are things I don't believe in! In this episode, I explore why I think new seekers might think they need to believe in everything they see or hear about magical practices. I also discuss how this could be avoided, and I share some popular beliefs that aren't true for me! 👇

Please excuse the typo. I'm typing and socializing with toddler niebling - not great for accurate sentences

Your welcome. I didn't include resources on the Lenape tribe, so that might also be something to look into if you for more depth if you wanted

And I think I'll stop here because it's probably already overwhelming. Hope these help. #witchsky #pagansky #booksky
