Reason Of The Witch (Krystal)

There's not enough commentary on the fatphobia, toxic beauty standards, and ableism in the witch community. Witchcraft ain't all thin nubile young maidens frolicking in meadows in flowing gowns (not that there's anything wrong with that 😁). Since when were witches about fitting societal norms?

🙌

Fatphobia still running rampant in witch spaces (witchosphere? Can that be a thing now?)

Please rant about this one day, lol

Don’t let nostalgia rewrite the real legacy of Pope Francis From abortion to LGBTQ rights, his papacy masked deep conservatism with soft language

Pope Francis wasn’t a liberal hero. He was just the least-bad guy in a centuries-old boys’ club.

I explored his legacy on some hot-button issues, separating his actual views from how people perceived him.

Why Are Chronically Ill People Forced to Hide Their Pain? And what would happen if we stopped hiding and showed the world the depths of our suffering?

“But you don’t look sick!”

We know. That’s because we’re trying really friggin hard not to. We’re hiding how awful we feel. We’re playing through the pain because that’s what’s expected of us.

Many disabilities are invisible. If we don’t choose to disclose, you won’t know we have them:

Tarot for self reflection is a powerful tool. Archetypes offer interpretations of cycles that reach deeper than language, meaning where words cannot. When I need more clarity around a topic I ask for details, then journal with the cards to see what themes come up.

My drugs of choice are always witchcraft and wonder.

It's not the statues and books, it's not the cute postcards and cauldrons. If you are not taking the time and dedication to do the work, recognizing the damaging patterns in your mind blocking your own power, you're just literally throwing your money away.
Do the work to connect w/ your inner #witch

When your movement pushes for discrimination, undermines people's rights, and tries to impose its beliefs on everyone else, don’t be surprised when people push back.

Respect for religion isn’t declining—respect for Christian nationalism is.

Celebrate International Women's Day by interrupting men with your unsolicited opinions and taking credit for their work. If they get upset about it, be sure to tell them that they sound hysterical and should smile more.

No gods. No masters. No oppression.

On #InternationalWomensDay, we stand for women's rights, bodily autonomy, and a world free from religious control.

Equality requires secularism.

Sure did! Love seeing others' processes and the myriad ways of working. Different strokes for different folks, eh?

#WitchMadness Day 7: How do you create and charge sigils?

@ltzwitch.bsky.social #sigilwitchery method is most natural and effective for me, being an artist, as well as appreciating the depth and process of associating and interpreting symbols. The creative process itself is the charge.

I adore this book. Bonus: super pretty! 😻

The delicate balance between staying informed and maintaining the remains of one's sanity.

Blessings powerful words! 🔥
I stand with my sisters and brothers! #witchcraft is for everyone , no matter race, gender, or sexuality. It’s about finding that inner fire and calling for your set practice and you will know when you feel it in your bones! #witchmadness #gaywitch #malewitch #witchsky

When we come across signs of other magic users working within our landscape, we should act exactly like we would on finding a bird's nest holding eggs – leave well alone. The wise witch respects others' moss nest charms, respects their twists of root, hair and bone. – #EmilyCBanting, 1982 #WitchSky

Not as much in the traditional sense. For me it's more along the lines of varying ratios of intuition+interconnection.

Keep building, keep practicing. No comparisons, just power. Your path is YOURS. Able-bodied, disabled, neurodivergent, chronically ill—your craft is not less because it looks different. A Witch does what is necessary, in the way they can.

#WitchMadness Day 4: How do you interpret reversed cards in a reading?

I don't. 😱

I am Witch. My praxis and outlook have numerous influences while also being a self carved path. I could (maybe) narrow down my myriad interests (which are also in flux, malleable, and evolving) to some recurring themes, but they don't neatly fit within a container.

Bava! 🙌

🖤✨

🧵Shout-out to the #SpoonieWitches & a reminder to shed internalized ableism and guilt if our practice doesn't look like others'. 🥄🖤✨
