Bamboo Teagardens Is A Witchcraft Server Focused On Both Community And Mental Health. While Were Currently

Bamboo Teagardens is a witchcraft server focused on both community and mental health. While we’re currently rather small (we only actually opened for business two days ago), we already have some master witches around (myself and a bone witch for example, so we have novus and serusgen covered.)

We’ve managed to get a few partnerships too, and would really like to expand enough to start classes and such soon! Here’s an updated invitation as the last one became invalid.

New Server!

Hi everyone! I’ve been working hard behind the scenes and I now have my most fabulous brand new discord server open and ready to go!

It’s called the Bamboo Teagardens and we’re now open for business!

I have a habit of waking up at 1-2am with the exact answer to something I’ve been trying to work out the whole day or a dream I’ll later find out is a premonition so honestly yeah, I believe in the witching hour.

Do you guys actually believe the witching hour is a thing? I know it’s just generally accepted, but do you find your power and the supernatural stronger between 12-3 a.m? 

Why Ghosts aren’t Spirits

Ghosts are spirits is something I’ve heard a lot of, and to be fair, no one on here will probably take the time to read this, but I’d like to make the distinction between a stain, a spirit, and a soul. The soul, no one really knows about. The soul might get reincarnated, maybe it goes to heaven. When you die, your soul goes somewhere. Where? That’s up to you to decide for yourself. Your spirit is that part of you that helps your descendants, that can stay with your friends. Your spirit is a personification of you, a you that rejoins the flow, and can leave the flow to provide some guidance, if your will is strong enough.   With all that in mind, what’s a ghost. A ghost is your stain, it’s the stink of death, the ending of a cycle, it’s an imprint of what you meant to the world, unable to go anywhere because it’s not really a person, it’s just a reflection. This is what people think of as ghosts. They may haunt where you were buried, or where you died. They may haunt your house, wandering around without any real sentience. Just a reflection of what once was.

Is It None of Your Concern

Sometimes in life you gotta lean back and look at the reasons bad things happen.

It’s almost automatic by now, this is my fault, I hit this point because of my actions. And you know what, to a point it’s right, but once it hits that point.

Sometimes, rejection is just caused by you not having the same mindset as the people you’re dealing with, and I know it can hurt a lot when people you know well reject you but, sometimes it just wasn’t meant to be.

You just have to wonder if it’s time to move on, time to fly away and take whoever does really feel like you’re someone that wants to be with you, or is important to you away.

Because sometimes, sometimes you just need to lie back, and decide if it’s none of their concern what you do now. If they’re still on your path or if they’re walking a different way.

I didn’t want to have to make this post and I hate that I now feel that I have to. As a server owner and someone who’s been trying to make her own content, this has been an incredibly upsetting ordeal. This will be long and I’m sorry. I want to talk about The Hollow.  The Hollow is a witchcraft server, less than a month old. I joined it yesterday. The owners of the server are a former staff member of mine and her boyfriend, who on my staff in a minor position until yesterday. She goes by Kaleigh or K.K and her discord handle is Celtic Daughter. Now let me go further back.  Kaleigh joined my server in February. For those of you unfamiliar with my server, I run an 18+ witchcraft server. Kaleigh claimed to be 18. We didn’t think much of this at first. She was in my server for 6 weeks before she actually turned 18. I was starting a server birthday calendar and asked her about her birthday. She admitted to joining early, saying she had joined a week before, which is untrue.

Please note: she also claims to have waited til her birthday to apply for staff. She joined staff 3 days before her birthday. 

This combined with another incident led to my staff voting unanimously to ban her. What was the other incident? Plagiarism. Kaleigh and I were friends, so she told me that she was starting a witch instagram. She has now deleted her stolen posts, but the account was cropped tumblr posts and other images that did not belong to her. One of my staff members addressed this with her. 

The VERY next day, she had a new post. I don’t still have the image, she did delete the post, but it’s important to mention because it relates to what happened today. 

She first claimed to have written it, which is when I sent the link it was copied and pasted from. Then she claimed to have just forgotten where she got it from. 

She deleted the post. Today, in her new server, she did one of her “Talks with the High Priestess” posting it yet again. 

And when asked about it, claimed that she wrote it. 

Now lets talk about The Hollow itself. I created my server almost a year ago, opening it May 27th. I wrote my rules, made role names for certain things no one else was using, and had members choose witch levels upon entering. Here are some comparison photos from when I entered her server. I only had access to 3 channels and found so much. 

So many little details that made my server mine, just stolen. It’s incredibly upsetting and hurtful.

So why am I writing this? I didn’t want to. She was spoken to several times. I hoped that she would stop stealing content. Apparently that isn’t going to happen. I think the community should be made aware that this girl is blatantly stealing content without shame. Right now it’s me and that Beltane blog post, and I do still have photos of the other posts she stole but this post is long enough as it is. I don’t want anyone else to get hurt by her or stolen from.
