Devotional Acts - Archangel Michael

Romanian countryside 🌾⛰️

i live in a small rural town. i've learned how to accept that my neighbors are liars.

My favorite simple wards to guard the home

Hanging rosemary above the doorstep, and/or above doors of the house for protection.

Sprinkling a line of dried red pepper on a windowsill, to counter a curse.

Placing a mix of dried & ground eggshells and black pepper in every corner of a room to keep out unwanted spirits.

Placing a decoration representing a witch in the kitchen, to keep away illness and to favor health.

Crafting an effigie (no matter how crude!) and make it into the guardian of your home by charging it with your intent of protection and placing it near the front door.

Crafting small witch ladders to hang around the house.

This and also, if I may add, beware of learning divination from TikTok as well, especially tarot and psychic senses like clairvoyance, because it’s 9/10 times a way to sell or promote something to you.

The way tarot readings are presented on TikTok is near always shallow, without context, and ignoring the fundamentals of tarot simply to sell readings to you. The creator will show you a random card, say the meaning is something basic (and sometimes not true!), then go on to promote their own reading services. Or those “no hashtags so it’s meant for you” videos where the Tower turns up and they’re like “omg your life is about to become so much better”. Let’s be real for a second here… 😭😭😭

As for psychic senses as a means for divination, nobody ever seems to promote grounding work, meditation, protection work, or even tell you HOW to do things. It’s always “here are five signs you have these abilities”, and the signs are the equivalent of “the sky is blue” (something basic), and the reason for that is because it feels somewhat relatable and good to hear, which makes you watch more nonsense content while still learning nothing.

TikTok is the most popular social media platform right now, so everyone can just hop on and say whatever they want while labeling it as true, and we all know how some people are greedy for money and fame, so, just like OP said… think for yourself and find more resources for magic! Your practice IS your own, but, let’s be real, TikTok is NOT a good place to learn magic on.

I say this with the utmost love:

I think witchtok is bullshit. I don't think much stuff on there is worth your time. There is much more Magick and learning to be done right in front of you that you will ever find within a screen.

There's a plethora of content out there, but it's all a tool. It's all other people's experiences. You need to find what speaks to YOU and center in on that.

There's nothing wrong with platforms that share genuine information (Tumblr, Reddit, on occasion Instagram, just from my own experience), but holy fuck do some of y'all need to learn to weed out bad info.

I'm so sick of seeing Witches influenced by, well, influencers. People just making little videos with the most basic information to get the most likes. People listing out these rules that they don't even know about or follow because they think it's some Cool Cult Info.

Stop listening to these people! Think for yourself! Fuck, don't even listen to me if you disagree! Your practice is YOURS.

You know what?

My ancestors would have wanted pasteurization, vaccines, antibiotics, disinfectants, birth control, psychiatric medications, pain management, anesthesia. My ancestors would have wanted to be able to keep their loved ones around longer, and not lose them too early/too soon to childbirths, injuries, bacterial infections, mental illnesses, and diseases that are curable and/or preventable in our modern day life.

Modern medicine saves lives.

New witch tip:

Practice is more important than study.

You need to fuck up in your path in order to learn and if it doesn’t work try again or try a different way.

Witches of the past majority of the time learned from their spirits so while it’s nice that we have a large community to learn from, pay attention to your spirits and learn from them first and foremost.

This witch is pro science, pro modern medicine, pro technology, while believing in herbalism, traditional medicine, and alternative healing.

FDA approved first, everything else supplemental, mundane before magic.
