I love how people are like “Ew! Witches™ are evil!” and yet right now we are all just generally excited about bread.
reblog if you agree that people should not use the Gods as an excuse to spread hate.
ive seen way too mch of this on tumblr- people using Aphrodite’s name to support their TERF bullshit. Way too many people using the Gods to justify their nasty hatred for others. TERFs have no place in our community.
why the fuck is no one naming their children after greek goddesses? Name your fucking child Persephone?????? Bitch???????!?
If that makes you happy, my name is Demeter
In my experience, people named after Greek goddesses are some of the most ethereal, chaotic forces I have ever encountered.
Our Art Department’s nude model, for example, is a woman named Hera. She’s stunningly beautiful, rides a motorcycle as apparently her only vehicle, grows all her own food, and keeps bees, turtles, and a dog named Argus, who she walks around town with a peacock feather attached to his leash.
I am thoroughly convinced she is not of this realm.
I’m pretty sure you just met Hera.
why ghost hunting and not ghost observing? ghost anthropology? let me live amongst the ghosts like jane goodall and the chimpanzees
that’s commonly called witchcraft, susan
Also, it often involves a lot of yelling.
‘mysterious noise’
Me, annoyed; “Arthur, be dramatic all you like, but I swear to fuck if you break anything I will get the incense and salt and evict you.”
Eviction implies that you can charge ghosts rent.
What do you get from them? Collect calls from the other side? Cheat codes for tomorrow’s test? All the spoiler plots of your favorite shows? Finding out who is stealing your newspaper? Whose dog owner isn’t picking up after themselves?
Where’s Dial-A-Ghost when you need one? =_=
Generally speaking I hit them up for help when I lose things and also charge them with protecting the property, and in return they get candles burned for them and coffee offered for their spirit.
well maybe if adoption was more accessible to single parents and lesbian couples, witches wouldn’t have to go haggling for people’s firstborns
This is a really good point
All these beautiful wire wrapped sterling silver labradorite pendants are available at my Etsy Shop – Sedna 90377
