first black people couldn’t go to church and pray without getting killed, then gay people couldn’t have a fun night out without getting killed, now jewish people can’t even have saturday service without getting killed. america is just lost at this point.
Honestly what kinda society will live in where we wake up, check our phones and there’s new notifications or just the news in the morning and there’s another shooting and it feels like all you can do is say “that’s horrible” and you have to go on with your day anyways. Like you’re just expected to go to work or carry on with plans like nothing happened.
I remember when the Pulse shooting happened and I cried at work and mourned the fact that people like me at being killed like that and just you know… the idea of people out there being killed for something like that. And while I was mourning the majority of my friends and family just did not seem to give a fuck and carry on with their days like it was just another day. And I imagine it’s the same for Jewish people right now. Like how are we this dead as a society.
That last line puts it into perspective, there’s just no hope for the people that need it and the ones that don’t need hope are often the ones who do not care about these things for more than a day, things are getting worse and more and more people are starting to realise that or don’t care, it’s truly is just plain hopelessness.
Witchcraft isn’t a religion – you’re all making it into this weird culty thing and Tumblr has turned it into something stale and conformed
Wiccan and witch are not synonymous – there are witches of all religions
There’s not a right or wrong way to practice – do whatever feels right in every situation
You don’t need to believe in any gods, worship anything at all, have crystals or buy things from Instagram witch shops (most of the time they’re just capitalists anyway)
You don’t need to declare what specific type of witch you are – you can strive to be balanced
You create your own rules no matter what – it’s a deeply personalized way of life or thought process to each culture and each person
if someone tries to dictate how you do what you do, they’re gatekeeping pricks and should be throat slapped
Be true to yourself – this is only about harnessing your own strength and emotions and figuring out what parts you play in the world, not about an aesthetic or a fashion or trying to be the best witchling for other people’s admiration
Try to have fun and stop taking it so seriously, you uptight nerds
