Tiwanaku, and Puma Punku are two of the oldest city complexes on earth with some scholars dating them back as 12,000 years. This would completely redefine how we look at the ancient world and also the origin of civilization, but there is so much opposition in the mainstream achiolog, because it doesn't confirm what they already belive. The mainstream would have them dated to the middle ages when the Inca enhabeted the aria, but this completely discounts the accounts of the Inca them selves who openly state they found those cities from past civilizations. But because of Eurocentric Archeological practices, history has been written so that Indigenous American history is a short one.

Native American plains tribes are a product of colonization. The proto plains tribes where Pueblo who Had escaped Spanish Missions. They came from a society with incredible Cities and were forced to become nomads to evade percicuttion and slavery.

I learned in a Latin Studies class (with a chill white dude professor) that when the Europeans first saw Aztec cities they were stunned by the grid. The Aztecs had city planning and that there was no rational lay out to European cities at the time. No organization.

Things I Wish I Had Known When I Started Practicing

Chakras are part of closed practices. Find a different theory on energy centres and how they work. I have my own here but there are many more that exist.

Do your research. Question everything. Don’t follow Tumblr posts blindly. Do your research, make sure that research is credible. Some authors out there are shitty (Edred Thorsson for example). Some Etsy shop owners appropriate. Do your research.

Support minority businesses! Support local businesses!

The best basic herbs to have on hand are: sage, rosemary, cinnamon, thyme, lavender, sea salt.

For the love of the gods, please ward. The first time you ward, you will most likely sleep upwards of 10+ hours because it is draining as hell but WARD. Wards will keep you safe from entities that seek to harm you.

ALWAYS have a good banishing spell and a good return to sender spell on hand if you need it. Here is Part 1 of a good masterpost on protections and warding.

Always be a skeptic. Don’t just believe things blindly. Is a god telling you they’re an actual god? Question them. Do your research on that god. Always question.

DO NOT INGEST ESSENTIAL OILS. They’re meant to be applied topically with a carrier oil. Don’t ingest them.

Some herbs will interact with your medication if you’re on them. If you’re on medication and want to try herbal remedies, talk to your doctor to make sure that your herbal remedy won’t negatively interact with your medication.

Tarot cards don’t need to be gifted or stolen in order to work. That’s a myth. However, if you feel like you’d like your tarot decks to be gifted to you, do that. Whatever you’re comfortable with.

Your first tarot deck doesn’t have to be explicitly Raider Waite Smith. My first deck was a variation on the traditional RWS style and it allowed me to read tarot more intuitively.

There’s no shame in using a tarot guidebook. There’s 78 cards that’s a LOT to memorize. I haven’t memorized them all and I’ve been reading tarot for two years now. Take your time and don’t be embarrassed to read tarot from a guidebook. I do paid tarot readings and still use my guidebooks.

If you’re worried about wasting food as an offering, it’s okay to eat them. I do it. Many others do it. If you’re still wary about eating the food, if you have plant friends, you can just bury the offerings (especially relevant for chthonic worshippers).

The Theoi website is one of the best for information on Hellenism. Every thing written on that website is cited back to an Ancient Greek text, or even several.

PLEASE PRACTICE FIRE SAFETY. If you’re burning an object in a metal bowl, don’t touch the bowl afterwards. You may burn yourself. Have something to put out a fire on hand should something happen. Don’t burn hair. Crack a window so you don’t inhale smoke. Be safe with fire.

Personalize your spells! If you find a spell on tumblr that you wanna try but don’t have an ingredient, go with your instinct and research what it could be replaced with! Tumblr spells are guidelines and you can modify that shit to your heart’s content.

It’s probably not obvious from my posts or what I repost, but I’m Half Cherokee. That being said, like many young natives (or half natives) it’s difficult for me to connect to that side of my family, because the tradition is dying. My family left the reservation many years ago, and long before our people were legally allowed to practice their religion again. It had two results. 1) We were allowed to practice again and Cary on our tradition.

2) when our Medicine man passed away he took our tradition with him, because no one was interested by that time, and because we had separated our selfs from our people we also separated our selfs from our past.

I have however been able to connect heavily with my mothers family tradition, as they were among the many closest pagans (druids) in Ireland. While it’s only recently that they’ve been allowed to practice as well, they haven’t been as hevily monitored as we were in the last two centuries, so their knowledge of their tradition is deep and heavily practiced.

All of this haveing been said, if there is anyone who feels like they can help me reconnect with that side of my self, or at least has any advice I would greatly appreciate it. I honestly feel like an outsider when it comes to my own people and I would do anything to not feel that way, and I can’t do that by watching Osiyo tv alone.

Calling all Native Witches

Hey! I need to make a directory, y’all.

Reply to this (or reblog, send me a message, whatever) to let me know if you are a native witch! We gonna make a LIST.
