Hi, I’m Vix!
I’m an ordained Witch, mother, audhd, queer, exvangelical. I left the faith after 25 years of devoting my life to it. Now I teach practical, inclusive witchy practices for the exhausted, burnt out, neurodivergent, disabled, or in chronic pain.
witchcraft is for ALL. #witchsky

Hey Bluesky! It’s been awhile. I’m back on here since tik tok is getting flushed on the 22nd. 🙃

This is the face of courage and compassion. Thank you Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde for speaking truth to power on behalf of the marginalized.

We’ve also had to insulate our fish tank (even though it has a heater in the water), so that our betta, Rainbow, can keep it at a toasty 76°. Florida is not prepared for this. 😂 #pets #floridawinter

I think sprinkle is cold. 🥶 it snowed in Florida yesterday. She is not a fan. #pets #cattax #catsky #floridawinter

Yeah this is the struggle. I feel the need to start a garden and stock food and supplies and prep for every possibility…but is that my OCD fear or a legitimate fear?? Lots to bring up in therapy 😣

Feeling panicky today. Not gonna lie. Having OCD is especially difficult right now. I want to prepare but it’s hard to know what is essential and smart vs what is intrusive and obsessive thoughts. How are you prepping for the fall of the nation? 🥲 #witchsky

I like to think of the wheel tarot card as a Ferris wheel- sometimes you’re on top of the world…sometimes you’re at the bottom. The constant? The wheel always turns. The cycles continue. You won’t always be where you are. Don’t take the turning personally- it’s just the nature of the wheel. 💙

10/10 we are not alone. We are not the minority. The people have survived before, and we will survive again. Together. Divided we fall, united we stand. Do not let them push us apart. Do not fall for the lies and tricks. Care for yourself- care for your neighbors- get into community. 💙 u witches.

9/10 these things may seem silly or small- but honoring your needs and meeting yourself where you are at with kindness and care is very important. Today we grieve, we rest, we take care, we shut it all out if we need to. Tomorrow? Tomorrow we get to work. We organize. We support each other.

8/10 things you can do today to ground, connect and take care:
4. In the words of Donna and Tom- “TREAT YOSELF!” If you can, do something kind for yourself, something out of your daily norm, do that. Get cake at the grocery store, take a bath, buy that thing, have a movie night, pamper yourself!

7/10 things you can do today to ground, connect and take care:
3. Do something that will help you emotionally and mentally process what has happened. Journaling, talking to a wall, screaming into the void, art, music, dance, crying, calling a friend. Get the words out and let the feelings in.

6/10 things you can do today to ground, connect and take care:
2. Make sure you are meeting your physical needs. I’m talking practical- food, water, hygiene, rest. Your physical body is going to go through a lot, you must take care of it. If you have demand avoidance- do it as an act of resistance!

5/10 things I encourage you to do today to ground, connect and take care:
1. Sit in the sun (if you have it) connect to the earth in any way you can. Breathe fresh air- touch the ground- hear the birds- observe critters- physically touch a tree and ask it to carry your burden…

4/10 accepting the reality of where we are right now is gonna hurt like a bitch, but that is what is going to allow us to effectively move forward with tenacity. We have to understand where we are to get where we are going. The energy is so heavy right now, you need to care for yourself today.

3/10 but please don’t blame yourself for trusting your intuition. Please don’t throw out that connection to yourself. Today, it’s ok if you need to shut it all out, turn everything off and FEEL all of those things that we have been too scared to let in the past two months.

2/10 It sucks to have trusted your gut and believed in something that didn’t happen. But what if that intuition was you trying to help yourself survive and cope with a really scary and horrible reality? Right now, there’s no more escapism, no more ignoring, no more denial and that feels real shitty.

1/10 💙 blulu If you’re feeling hopeless, that’s ok. If you’re feeling stupid for believing that our democracy would actually do something, give yourself a break. You were brave enough to HOPE, to dream and to believe that there could be good in the world. I know it hurts right now…#witchsky thread⬇️

Yeah that’s not suspicious at all… 🤨

There was an ominous pop up message when we came back. I definitely like the vibe better over here

It doesn’t feel safe…is anyone else getting that? #witchsky

Tik tok is back…but it intuitively feels “weird”…I don’t like it. #witchsky

Another turning comes and goes. The waves of life mount, crest, and pass. There will be an ebb, and there shall be more waves. Cling to reason as your rock, and no wave will consume you.

This was super helpful! Thank you!

If the TikTok ban is making you feel voiceless, this can block the throat chakra. Drink chamomile, peppermint, sage, and/or lemon balm to help this energy center. #tiktokban #chakra #healing

100 Robins flocked to my yard today- Presumably on their way north for spring. Right after a profound dream and message from a passed loved one the night before. A sign-hope, guidance and connectedness. The mother still turns, nature moves forward, we are still just one of her creatures. #witchsky
