✦ Progressive, non-trad Roman Catholic* witch

* I was raised Catholic with very little structure or consistency, and I have lived most of my life as agnostic and scientifically-minded. I come from a background of not viewing God in the same ways that many do, or is depicted in the Bible, and I can't say that my views have changed much. I am embarking on a new journey to chase a calling I keep feeling by educating myself, and exploring my instincts and inspirations. St. Joan d'Arc is the one that called me into this direction.

I practice intercession of the saints and angels.

I perform tarot readings, prayer, devotions and offerings, and have done minor spellwork using flora, minerals, and herbs. I especially enjoy astrology and natal chart tracking.

More info about my beliefs can be found here. I will update and change my ideology and catalogue my beliefs there over time.

I love dark and horror content, please be advised! I may reblog such things especially including media as Midnight Mass (Netflix), FAITH: The Unholy Trinity, Ghost (band), and more. I love the genre especially when combined with existentialism, and I find a lot of meaning and inspiration in some of this content. I will tag these with Temple:Darkmode for you to mute if you do not like to see this kind of stuff!

I welcome Christo-pagans, Christians, Orthodox, Pagans, Heathens, Luciferians, and more as long as we agree on mutual respect, progressive values, protecting trans lives, supporting Palestine, etc.!

I am ESPECIALLY looking for mutuals that practice as Christian-adjacent that are interested in knowing someone that may see things differently.

Please engage/follow me if you vibe with anything above (and would care to see my content and what I share, of course)!

before I fall asleep; happy feast day for St. Francis of Assisi!

I didn't have time to sit down at my altar and pray to him, but I did try to honor him tonight with a modest pasta dish, Sicilian lemonade, and raspberry cuccidati, before assembling a small feast that I sent outside into the grass for my local bird population. I included my cat in the festivities with her favorite treats as well, of course.

tomorrow my wife is taking me out to a Catholic gift shop that I discovered recently, and I am very excited... ✧

2 Corinthians 11:14

you can make prayer cards for your own patron saints with just a little bit of blackout poetry, an old-timey cowboy portrait, and a few old issues of National Geographic (before they switched to that glossy late '80s/'90s paper)

bonus points if you have access to an old-school laminator
