The Witchy Scientist

So, I’m here… just a bit quieter for now. 💙

If you’re struggling, it doesn’t mean you’re damaged. You just need a bit of extra support and perspective right now. & that’s SO OKAY. Ask for the help you need.

Love ya, witches. 🔥✨

I know it’s been quiet around here. Apologies. Grad school’s picked back up & well… depression is a right bitch. 🙃

But I’ve been here before, & I’m working on finding the help I need. ☺️ (I wouldn’t be a very good counseling student if I didn’t seek my own help, now would I 😉)

IYKYK. Fuck 🧊 🖕🏻. 🔥✨

Work on sitting with fear & understanding the truth. Not everything has to be a split second decision. Let us regain control of what fear takes over & create a more harmonious world. 💙🔥✨

Full Moon in Cancer - Fear is a vicious virus of the mind. It can cause us to act irrationally, & bypass critical thinking. A lot of the BS in this world can be boiled down to fear & the weaponization of it.

The Swan - You *can* have a warm, loving relationship with yourself. It may require work, but if taken seriously you can get there. The Swan reminds us that deep, long-lasting connections do exist, & you can have that with yourself as well. Self-love makes us unstoppable. ✊🏻🔥✨

That is such a win. Everyday you’re alive means the b@st@rds didn’t win. Your success isn’t erased by the horrors that persist. How you respond to those horrors is what matters most. Happiness & despair can coexist at the same time. Ignoring one for the other is where you take HP damage. 🔥✨

The 9 of Pentacles - It hard to find joy & honor the good things in our life right now. However, this card calls us to take a moment & observe our lives. Look at the things you wanted to have or make happen & now they’re here! You’ve worked hard & there’s proof! Also, you’re here, awake, & breathing

Hello, witches! Long time, no chat. Today is Imbolc (& full moon in Leo) & I’ve done a quick reading for us as an Imbolc reflection.

May Brigid’s blessings find you all. 💙🔥✨

Wearing rose-tinted glasses aren’t a death sentence, but one should use them appropriately. 🔥✨

The Death of… The 5 of Pentacles

An outstretched hand isn’t a sign of your weakness, it’s recognizing the limits of your current state. You can’t have darkness without light; know brighter days will return. 🔥✨

An image of my book bag adorned with flair. A SKZOO Wolf Chan keychain, and multiple pins: a Brigid’s cross, Folklore podcast, David Bowie, “Babe with the power”, “witches against fascism”, pentacle, victory red lipstick, fandom trash, and AO3 kudos.

Sometimes magic is…

Flairing out your: backpack, bag, jacket, whatever, and wearing it like armor! Don’t let anyone dull your shine. 🔥✨

Also: FUCK FASCISM!
