Needed: – The plant/s you are trying to help grow – Water in whatever you use to water the plants – This incantation
Steps: – Gather your supplies. – If you can do this in sunlight, that’s even better! – Hold your water in one hand. – Put your other hand on the pot of the plant. – Focus your intent on healing and aiding the plant in healthy growth. – Say/think while focusing energy into both the pot and the plant: “ This little plant needs to grow, Through the dirt may this water flow, Imbue it with healing properties, So that it may grow properly. May it grow uninhibited, and its beauty be elicited. Let it grow with strengthened will, Until it’s space is filled. I speak this spell with heart and mind, So bring to me what I seek to find.” – Water your plants as you would normally, or as is nessicary for your plants.

So I often see popular tumblrs getting asks and responding with a “google it”. You may feel like that’s rude and wonder why they’re being like that….
Here’s the deal. It’s really frustrating to get an ask that’s like “what is X” because that’s literally what you would use for a google search. You’re asking for a super broad description. It’s really tempting to just copy and paste your phrasing into google and link that for you because it brings up a lot of answers!
We are NOT google. However, we are human beings with experience. So the types of asks I love getting are something like: “Hey, I’ve been looking into X and getting conflicted answers (examples), what’re your thoughts?” Or “can you talk about how you use X/this certain aspect of X”?
a quick guide on grounding with bonfires or candles for elemental witches
🔥
to be done near a lit candle, or by a safe bonfire.
🔥
practice fire safety when doing this, and do not go too close to the fire! if no fire is available or safe for you, visualization is recommended
🔥
have a view/hearing of the fire to the best of your ability
🔥
visualize:
the way the fire crackles and burns away at the wood or wick, the negative and stagnant energy burns away from you. it turns to smoke and dissipates into the air.
the inside of you is dark and empty. there are only ashes left behind, pure and still.
each spark and flame fills you with new energy. the flames, their brightness and warmth replenishes and re-energizes you.
from the ashes a new flame is kindled within you, and it lives within your chest.
🔥
when you are ready, douse the fire you focused on in the appropriate method. you are not ending it, as the fire lives on it you, where its energies have spread.
The gendering of everything, including inanimate objects like rocks, in two binary genders which some will insist don’t correspond with human genders yet conveniently match up with all the Western gender stereotypes
An entire cosmology built around said binary
Getting angry when, e.g., a trans woman says, “Sorry, I would rather not be labeled as having any male energy” or if a nonbinary person tries to explain, “No,
my agender ass is not a mix of male and female energies, thanks.”
The emphasis on using heterosexual (and only heterosexual) sex as a metaphor for creation and fertility
The emphasis on sex in general over other forms of fertility
The pressure to engage in sex (particularly heterosexual sex) and the shaming of those who aren’t into it as being oppressive and blinded by Christian baggage or w/e
Breaking down the three major archetypes of womanhood based on the ability to reproduce. (And not doing the same for manhood. And not including nonbinary people at all.)
TE/RF/s. So many T/ER/Fs. The label may be relatively new, but neopagan spheres have been full of rad/ic/al fem/ini/sts who exclude trans people for decades.This is what initially drove me away during my first stab at the religion back in the 90′s. To this day I feel a jolt of fear when I meet someone who worships exclusively female deities.
This isn’t to say that there aren’t any Wiccan and Wicca-adjacent groups that don’t have these problems, or that groups of a more recon bent are entirely free of these problems. But I personally wasn’t able to find any acceptance at all until I discovered recon communities.
Man, I talk about this a lot. It’s always disheartening when I buy a new book on Witchcraft to read and come to find out it’s riddled with ~feminine and masculine energies~ crap. Now I research books beforeI buy them, but the $3-7 ones from the thrift store I pick up on occasion are a toss up.
This is especially true for my younger years. It was extremely disheartening and turned me off to witchcraft when I was younger.
Didn’t help that most Wiccan groups (FB and IRL) were just made up of racist, homophobic white soccer moms “embracing feminine energies/womanhood of witchcraft”. Not a good environment for my agender self.
I don’t see my broom as a masculine object, sorry.
may the bridges I burn light the way
