I Hate Living In The City. The Worst Part Of The City. Lots Of Factories And Trash. Whenever I Go Out

I hate living in the city. The worst part of the city. Lots of factories and trash. Whenever I go out to get some fresh air I regret it. The air is almost unbreathable. The streets are too crowded. It's easier to feel magic around me during the night and when it rains and snows. One of the reasons why I believe in witchcraft is how much I love rainstorms. The sound it makes against my window. It's smell. I just pull my chair in front of my window and watch it. I love going to sleep listening to it. There was a storm at night after I experienced something that made my mental health way worse. I forgot all my problems while going to sleep listening to the thunder. Everything was okay just for that moment.

Witches who feel connected to the night, storms, snow and the rain, do you have any recommendations for a new witch? Any ideas for things to do in summer?

Colour Correspondences: Pink

Light pinks bring in comfort and were found to have a calming effect. Meanwhile darker pinks are more vibrant and playful. Wearing a bright pink suit is a bold choice. It's not easy to pull off. The rest of this post is about my personal associations and they aren't based on colour psychology.

I associate pink with the self. Taking care of yourself, doing your skin care, taking a bath. Painting your nails. Wearing perfume. Forgiving yourself when you need to. I associate pink with romanticising daily aspects of life, seeing beauty in the mundane.

I also associate it with balance. Knowing when to eat healthy and when to eat a dessert. Thinking the best for yourself. Keeping your house tidy without becoming too overbearimg on yourself.

Mixing white into red and making it pink is like watering down your sudden anger to show your true intentions. When you are drowning in your anger you can hurt someone you love. For this reason I would use it for emotional control.

I think pink is an understanding colour. Keeping your cool unless what others do cause harm. Recognizing that people around you have feelings and reacting accordingly. For this reason I think it's also related to communication and therefore friendship.

(drama queen warning)

It's so different from what I thought religion had to be. Misogynistic, prude, self-loathing, belittling... Now it's just beautiful. Before I was told to believe without any signs. It made no sense because they would also say that there is one true god and our existence is a miracle already. If you don't believe you'll burn in hell for eternity. Now I can literally communicate and receive signs from a Divine being. Polytheism had made sense to me even when I didn't believe in anything but holy fuck I didn't think this was possible. I thought I had gone mad but nope, I'm most likely not and even if I am it is because my human brain demands it so I'm not too depressed. Which is, as far as I'm guessing, an evolutionary self protection mechanism that is normal. And unlike my previous beliefs it doesn't ask me to ask for forgiveness and drown in guilt.

Sometimes I just have to think about how wild deity work/worship really is. Like what do you mean it’s 10pm and I’m sat on my bed in my pyjamas with a biscuit and a fluffy blanket while also talking to a divine being???

Help I get scared while meditating

I don't know why but when my heart slows down I just get scared like it's literally gonna stop. Maybe focusing on my pulse instead of my breath could help but can anyone relate? I mostly focus on energy work because I'm in the broom closet. I just make energetic animals (that can fly usually, if they don't have wings they stand on my shoulder) using visualization and give them a mission.

Aphrodite Antheia

Aphrodite of the Gardens

I struggled with this a lot until I thought about it this way. Even if there is nothing beyond the material world my feelings are real. They are chemical reactions in my brain or something like that. They make me happy. Nothing else matters and this is the way I choose to live.

I'm still agnostic about what exists and what does not. But if a certain act at least looks like it works even if it's really just pure coincidence, I'm going to accept it because ever since I started thinking more about witchcraft everything's been more enjoyable.

As I’ve gotten into deity worship and have been more open about it with friends the number one response I get is ‘but you don’t really believe in that do you?’

and yes, I do, but if you MUST argue with me about it

I grew up non religious and described myself as agnostic for a long time, and I do still hold truth in that. I think it’s arrogant to say we know for sure whether there is or isn’t some higher powers. But if there’s really just nothing

WHO CARES

it’s fun to believe, it’s motivating, it’s energizing. Even if the gods aren’t ‘real’ in a scientific sense, they are real in my mind.

Even if when I die it’s all been nothing but a placebo effect, that’s okay!!

it’s helped me get by, it’s helped me be happy, and that is enough
