Ares and Aphrodite. I like their potential for chaos 😎

repeat after me:

on the other side of fear, there is relief. on the other side of fear, there is success. on the other side of fear, there is love. on the other side of fear, there is joy. on the other side of fear, there is contentment. on the other side of fear, there is result. i decide that my fear is not an ocean; it is a line.

Italian folk magic basics

Italian witchcraft, also known as Stregoneria, is a form of traditional witchcraft that has its roots in ancient Italy. Here are some basics of Italian witchcraft:

The practice of Italian witchcraft is often passed down through family traditions, and many practitioners are born into it.

The practice involves working with spirits, ancestors, and deities, and often involves honoring the elements of earth, air, fire, and water.

Italian witchcraft is centered around the idea of "la vita e bella" (life is beautiful), and emphasizes the importance of finding joy and beauty in everyday life.

The use of natural materials, such as herbs, stones, and crystals, is an important part of Italian witchcraft. These materials are often used in spells and rituals, and are believed to have specific properties and energies.

The practice of divination, or seeking guidance from the spiritual realm, is also an important part of Italian witchcraft. This may involve reading tarot cards, using pendulums, or other methods.

The Italian witchcraft tradition places a strong emphasis on the importance of the sacred feminine, and many practitioners honor goddesses such as Diana, Hecate, and Isis.

Some Italian witchcraft traditions also incorporate elements of Catholicism, and may involve working with saints or angels as well as other spiritual beings.

Overall, Italian witchcraft is a deeply rooted and rich tradition that emphasizes connection with nature, spirit, and the sacred feminine. It is a beautiful and powerful practice that continues to inspire and captivate practitioners around the world.

Of course the only person verbally offended by one of my posts is a pro-Israel Orthodox Jew. You guys are not the target audience here and I have a big “DNI ZIONISTS” on my pinned post. Unfollow me, block me, whatever; my people were colonised, and I refuse to take part on you colonising others.

I feel like when people get into deity work, deity worship or anything deity related we all kinda think that we NEED to communicate with them, we NEED to do tarot cards with them, we NEED to reach out and actively work with them. But I feel like that's not it. Yes, you can communicate with them if you and them want to. Yes, you can do tarot cards with them. Yes, you can actively work with them, but you don't HAVE to. I think you can also just light their candle, give them an offering and just spend 20 minutes or however long you want listening to music with them and just chatting to them about whatever is on your mind and they won't mind it. Because you are putting in the effort and your time to be with them even if it's not doing any of the things you see a lot of pagans and witches do on tiktok.

u know what makes me cry..... that one van gogh quote about life changing for the better..... “many people seem to think it foolish, even superstitious, to believe that the world could still change for the better. and it is true that in winter it is sometimes so bitingly cold that one is tempted to say, ‘what do i care if there is a summer; its warmth is no help to me now.’ yes, evil often seems to surpass good. but then, in spite of us, and without our permission, there comes at last an end to the bitter frosts. one morning the wind turns, and there is a thaw. and so i must still have hope.” yeah..... Crying....

Magickal Bath for when things get too hard

This is a bath I usually make during difficult periods of my life. It’s useful for when you feel sad, depressed, anxious, angry, overwhelmed, stressed, and all of those bad feelings we don’t wanna get stuck in. We all have some bad days, so I thought it’d be useful to share ‘cuz we don’t gatekeep in here!

Ingredients:

- A large pan with some water;

- Himalayan or Sea Salt: to purify the water and everyone who’ll bathe in it.

- Thyme: to protect you and to give you strength for challenging situations.

- Lavender: to soothe your feelings over a situation and to give you inner peace.

- Origano: to enhance your vibrations and to solve current dilemmas.

Put those ingredients in the pan and chant your intentions while you stir it clockwise.

You can pray (I often use the Hail Mary prayer for this one) or just say your intentions out loud, it doesn’t really matter. Stir it until it starts to bowl, then wait until it becomes warm (or at room temperature) to bathe with it.

I hope this post reaches people who need it. I’m praying for all of us who’re going through a lot. Feel what you need to feel, but it’s also important to let it go when the time is right.
