All I Want To Do Is Be A Smol Gremlin/goblin Raccoon Child In The Forest And Vibe. Move Out Of My Hassling

All I want to do is be a smol gremlin/goblin raccoon child in the forest and vibe. Move out of my hassling and shut in life style. And live in a small but quaint two story house in Salem, Massachusetts. Where I will have a living space all on the first floor. With just the kitchen, small dinning room and living room etc.

But then the second floor is all gremlincore and witchy aesthetic. And its all kind of a weird clash but has a lot of vibes to it. And I work on the side doing tarot and stuff in my craft. While also being a artist full time and stuff. And just be a boss, a bad bitch. Secret witch.

Thats all a girl wants XD

So I was looking up different rocks and stuff being the goblin witch creature I am. And now youtube is calling me out I feel attacked😭😭😭😂

This happened about a week or so ago. But around the 24th I had school. And of course I do my daily routine. A little happy knowing since the 24 kind of marked my transition into becoming wiccan. Making a first degree witch now. So I was happy knowing my practice and work feels like it boosted a bit.

But anyway. I do what I need to do. Go on the bus, get off the bus. When I get off I usually stand in a certain spot outside until they open the doors to let everyone inside the school. As I walk over to my spot I thought I saw some wrapper on the ground. But no. It was a live little bloomed rose. Note it is freezing freezing cold 30 and below. And the small little gardens around my school are all dead. Also V day passed so all the flowers and trash stuff would be gone or blown off.

I then remember that the fae can leave gifts of nature to you. And something clicked. The fae gave me a gift. I guess like a congrats gift or a thank you gift. Since I have been caring for our only and first house plant. And the fae love nature and of course when they saw me do that. And they might have picked up on me at work. Soooo yeah.

I was really happy and enjoyed my time with this gift. I decided to take a few pictures since I just thought it was adorable and kind of wanted to draw it. And maybe give it and a few other things in return. But I did not want to keep it neither. Since I am not that close yet with the fae. As lovely as they can be. For all I know it could have been a contract. And I did not want to burry it or leave it there out of the school. Since I did not want some aloof person taking the gift. So I set it under a tree near the front of my house. :)

Also I ended up putting it in a container and tried keeping it safe the whole day until I was home. XD. I really did not want to crush it or have it fall since I knew my clumsy gremlin self might do that. But thank the gods I didn't. 🌿👌

But yeah first time ever receiving a gift from the fae. As sweet as it is best to know my stuff 100% first. Not too bad for my first time neither.

So Ostara for me was not too good. I thought and planned on communicating with my first deceased guinea pig Gus/Gus Gus. Basically through out my Ostara day. I was working on the over load of school work. And I noticed one of my teachers posted something about loss and grieving. I did not think much of it since.. There is a lot going on. And I went to check on my current guinea pigs. And I noticed Simon limping and not walking right.

All in all I am scared for him I am keeping him close and watching him. If you can fellow witchlings please send some encouragement. We both might need it we are going to take him to the vet soon. It most likely a bruise/soreness. Since I feel nothing broken. Either way if its anything more we need to put him down. Which might be the hardest thing I can do/think of right now... Thank you🙏🔮🙏

Limited Hand Mobility + Witchcraft

For folks who have limited mobility in their hands due to pain, weakness, shakiness, or anything else. These are a range of ideas, not all of them may work for each person, but hopefully they’ll spark something that will! 

Looking for broader low energy, low mobility or bedridden ideas? Check out my bedridden witch series (click here!)

Tarot:

Tarot apps are a great way to pull a card with a tap or two (Labyrinthos and Galaxy tarot have been recommended). 

Place your deck in your lap. Feel for any loose cards, then pull them. 

Split the deck (doesn’t have to be even). The cards on either end of the split are the cards for your spread. 

Spread the deck on a flat surface, and move your hand over to pick (let your hands sense the energy), or pick based on intuition. 

If gripping/managing thin paper is tricky, some people use other objects for tarot readings. I’ve seen jewelry charms as a common one, but the possibilities are endless (cardboard, wooden blocks, etc.). 

You can do more than readings with your cards. Pick one per day and just spend time with it. Look at the art, pay attention to how it makes you feel. Learn the meanings of the card.

Pendulum: 

I have had success with using a pendulum while dealing with shaking hands. 

Let something else do the work! Hang it by an open window, focus your energy and let the wind move the pendulum for you. Use a pillow to support your arm/hand.

Use a pendulum jar.

Use a shorter pendulum that can be used with one finger. A string with a small crystal bead will do. 

Prop you arm/hand on a pillow.

You could also use other parts of your body to hold the pendulum (like your mouth or toes… wouldn’t recommend switching between the two though!)

Other Divination:

Runes may be easier to hold/use than tarot cards.

Use rune apps (runic divination was recommended).

Scrying (using a mirror or bowl) is hands-free.

Spells and Energy Work:

A lot of witches use their hands to focus energy during spellwork and other magical doings. While this may be helpful, it’s not necessary!

Focusing energy can be helpful. Use a crystal or other object and touch it in some way (with your hand, have it in your lap, whatever works for you). Use the crystal/object to help channel and amplify your energy.

I usually draw energy up from the earth (even while in bed) by placing my palms flat(ish) towards the earth by the sides of my body. So if I was lying down, my arms would be at my sides with my palms facing down.

Use visualization! A LOT of my magic involves visualization. 

Candles and Incense:

Himalayan salt lamps are a great way to bring a similar energy that a burning candle would.

I honestly really like electric candles, but I know they’re not everybody’s thing. Plus sides: if you forget about them they simply run out of battery, can be decorated–tape with color correspondences, sigils, spells, etc. (you could even print something and tape it on). 

Reed diffusers. Get the yummy smell that candles or incense brings without the flames and smoke. Plus you can ignore it for months!

Essential oil diffusers. Great way to get the correspondences that incense often holds. (please use safely and not around your pets).

Room spray. Store-bought or self-infused natural sprays are a great way to add good smells and/or correspondences. 

Recording information:

Voice text or dictation software are often accessible, though not always perfect. It is a great way to get things down that you don’t want to forget/want to reformat later.

Typing can sometimes be easier than writing, and journals/grimoires in documents are easy to organize, and to read. 

I’m a very tactile person and enjoy writing (even if it hurts/is difficult). My tarot journal is filled with terrible handwriting, random shorthand, and codes I came up with to shorten things (ie. a little symbol for each suit, then the card number). It doesn’t have to be an all-day process. 

I’d imagine that some tarot apps record which cards you’ve pulled, or have an option to save it. 

Odds and Ends:

Use compression gloves or other gear to support your hands? Add sigils or enchant them!

Same goes for any lotions, creams, balms or medications used to help; sigils, charging, enchanting, etc. are all great ways to incorporate magic. 

Teas are an easy way to get multiple herbs + their medicinal values without needing to do anything!

Into kitchen witchcraft? Using electric mixers can be very helpful.

Create sigils using a phone app (touchscreen) and your fingers rather than holding a pen.
