Witchy Heresy

Making space for honest gratitude. If we keep looking for all the bad, it's all we find - and it's easy to find. But looking for the places of deep gratitude, that takes more effort but provides a counterbalance.

Try to find ways to stay positive and resilient. They want us worn down and knocked out.Don't let it happen. Self-care is not selfish, it builds resilience. Prayers and rituals to center. Rest, do something that brings joy. Take care of the body. Then we can give again. #christianwitch #witchsky

Do you like the Sinister Affirmations cards? I've considered getting them because they just seem to resonate with me. 😂

Been a bit since I've posted. Fall is a busy season. Doubly so with health stuff with my youngling. But I am glad for the changing of seasons, the movement of the wheel, and the quiet of winter to come. Advent, Yule, much to wait for with hope. But first, spooky season. ❤️ #witchsky #christianwitch

Joined. Thank you for sharing this. ❤️

7 of Swords was the card drawn for the day as a whole, a "Big Picture" card. Given the events of yesterday in the US (and everything before) it makes sense it would continue today. What will I focus on? Things in my control. Gratitude, family, things that feed my soul. #tarotsky #christianwitch

While having a school bus pickup time before 7 for the youngling is early, beautiful sunrises are at least a benefit.

Seems big things are coming in the world when I draw three challenging major arcana in my morning read. Whatever comes today WE choose how to respond. We still have a voice no matter how much they try to intimidate. Personally, I'll always side with love, even if it's hard. #tarotsky #christianwitch

Seems like this should be obvious. And yet, here we are. Not recognizing God as Mother has caused extraordinary harm not just for women, but for everyone. And it goes beyond that to ignoring or downplaying the role of prominent women like Deborah, Sisera, Ruth, and others.

This week leading up to the full moon has been extraordinarily...energetic. Definitely a lot of chaos in the air. But also, my morning reads have been extremely clear and "loud." I'm hoping once the full moon passes the energy will settle. I like things sizzling, but this is a bit much. 😵‍💫 #witchsky

Anyone else looking forward to August 12th? #witchsky #christianwitch

For me, writing, sigil creation, anything dealing with smoke/fire, singing/music/chants, runic work, and working outside, even with mundane tasks when outside because it makes them magical to me, or my magic makes them better?

Feeling grateful to be able to find grounding in the turmoil. I've definitely remembered why I avoid news with the insanity that has happened so far this week. This is not the USA I grew up with and I fear it never will be. But my practices have kept me from giving up hope. #christianwitch #witchsky

Brad Onishi’s Answer To Fighting Extremism Isn’t What You Want To Hear “It’s like incredibly inefficient, non-scalable work. There is no AI for this.”

"If you want to deprogram people on an interpersonal level, if you’re talking about not society, not the public square, but if you’re just talking about a family member or your colleague, somebody in your church, you’re gonna have to just hang out with them a lot." sojo.net/articles/int...

When thrown in liminal spaces If we're being honest, we're almost always in some sort of liminal space.

Finally able to write again. I've missed it. #christianwitch #witchsky

No worries. I really thought I had missed something. For my mental health I don't read a ton of news, so I do sometimes miss larger things for a week or more. 😅

Ah. Well that makes sense. I do have at least one old classmate that I shake my head at and wonder about. I just thought they were minority, but maybe not, sadly.

For me, making time to get in nature. Because it's so hot the beach is my current go to. But typically my backyard works fine. I also try to do something that honors what I am passionate about. Making time to write or play my instrument. Then the more traditional meditation, prayer type activities.

Wait, what? Millennial here and all of this is abhorrent and friends my age are of the same mind (not supportive of any of this). I've not been aware that my gen was wholesale crazy. I mean, most of us are over or near 40, so certainly not got the blindness of youth going on. Did I miss something?

Can't fully express my gratitude for how beautiful (despite the heat) this morning has been. I know things are always in flux, but I've been so thankful for the stability of the last few days after months of everything up in the air.

Dr. MLK Jr. said "The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice." That is the lens I use for this spread. He had chances for generosity in the past. Present...there's no doubt he's enthusiastic and passionate...😒. Future well, unstable. How it will ultimately play out who knows.

Working my way through the book Jesus and the Goddess by Rev. Dr. Claudia Hall. It's a great theology book for those blending Christian and Pagan theologies. Much of it resonates with my own journey. For those curious to know more, definitely check it out. #witchsky #christopagan #christianwitch

Archangel Michael Oracle card. Depicts Archangel Michael with large gold wings, a blue robe, and a gold sword of truth with a background of stars set in a deep blue sky. The message says "Stand in your power. Be true to yourself."

Today's Oracle for the new moon cycle. A great reminder and message when things have just felt off. #tarotsky #christanwitch

So, went back to the beach this afternoon so the youngling could surf and wound up losing my glasses when a wave took me under. I see you retrograde. 😱😂

Mercury may be retrograde, but starting the morning at the beach is a great way to center, reflect, and stay groundednand also just recharge in the sun. There are downsides to living in Florida, but beach access is definitely a plus. 🌴🏖️👙 #witchsky #christianwitch

Just...can we not start WW3. But too late it seems. Putting it out there that I very much don't want war. Ugh! Stupid effing facisim.

Very thankful for the recovery journey my daughter is making. We've prayed for her, set intentions, and sent all the love and positivity to her we can. All the focus on being thin these days is killing people. So thankful for programs that help. #eatingdisorderrecovery #christianwitch #witchsky

Fun learning of the day: there is a pillow fighting championship. Like... it's a sport. 😳🤯 These people are serious too. Glad there is something out there for everyone. ❤️❤️

It's okay to not be okay. I'm reminding myself of that quite often. I'm also thankful for my faith, family, friends, and spiritual practices that get me through. #christianwitch #witchsky
