“Don’t work with death, because then you invite it into your house.”
Death is already in my house. Death is everywhere. Death is what decays the plant matter that feeds my garden. Death is what feeds the herbs I use in my spells, for each grows from what died before it.
Death is what feeds my family – death of plants, the death of animals. I would not disrespect the spirits of that which feeds us by ignoring their sacrifice.
Death is the veil between my ancestors and myself, keeping them at rest and then acting as the gate for them to step into their next life.
When I do hospice work and sit with someone who is accepting their approaching death, I don’t tell them death is something to fear or avoid. I tell them death is the friend that walked beside them, every step of their life, maintaining the balance of the world, and waiting for them with open arms, to escort them to rebirth.
“Don’t work with death!”
I would not ignore life’s partner, not for arrogance or fear or ignorance. When I go to my own, I want to greet death with respect, acceptance, and gratitude.
blessed be thy patient mother she who grieves her sorrows and stands as strong as ever hurled so deep in mourning she let not these thoughts bring harrows
blessed by thy patient, valiant, victorious girl-friend and the strength she takes to bear
hail oh my mother Sigyn, all she has to bear hail oh my mother Sigyn, for i am in her care
a reminder from your science witch sister that it’s flu season, and haunting graveyards at midnight or walking barefoot in dark forests becomes much less romantic when you are ill, so go and take your vaccines and do your part to ensure herd immunity for the sick, the elderly and the young.
THATS THE TOE NECKLACE PERSON AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH
this is genuinely so fucking disgusting and horrifying. let her rest in peace and stop being a racist piece of shit with a CHILD’S REMAINS
Chiming in as a professional osteologist: this is wildly unethical and unfortunately extremely common. Big shock, but most bone hoarders are entirely ignorant of history and/or racist shit heads who powertrip off the opportunity to own somebody else’s remains. Most are unspeakably boring people who feel the need to pretend to be a witch / cultist / scientist / curator so that someone will think they are edgy and cool, and either don’t know/ don’t care that many older medical specimens were obtained before consent and professional codes of ethics were a thing. Inevitably, academic institutions clean up the messes that these idiots leave behind, and this behavior isn’t victim free. There is a huge difference between donated medical specimens, and whatever the fuck this situation is. Nobody ever consented to be shown off like a trophy by some empty-headed scene kid whose grasp of human decency is even shittier than her dye job.

and of course, at PEAK headassery, we have this:
What the ffffuck
Hey guys not to dip in on the discourse here but selling human remains on etsy directly violates etsy’s policies and i’d definitely not snitch if a couple (a lot) of people reported this.
can my followers who have etsy report this please?
Because it can be a bit hard to find out where to report things (it took me 15 mins on searching around because im dumb) I took some screenshots to help people report her.
1.) Report her shop altogether. She’s selling HUMAN REMAINS. Her whole shop needs to be taken down. I already reported her but here you can see the item that should be reported as well as where to report her shop.
2.) When you’re on the page for the item you want to report, scroll all the way down. Then click “Report this item to Etsy’
3.) This is how you fill out the report form. If you want to go into detail about the product, even better! Go for it! I kept it short to show off the reporting box
Just click report this listing and call it a day! I would recommend only reporting once- we don’t want to flood them with reports to the point where they can’t sort through them to properly take down her shop. I hope this helps!
may the bridges I burn light the way
