Speaking Generally, But When It Comes To Witchcraft,

Luciferians and Satanists should really stop equating Melek Taus to Lucifer/Satan/Devil.

We may believe there's nothing truly evil about those beings, but the narrative of the Yazidi as Devil worshippers is something that directly contributes to them being subjected to genocide. Yes, Melek Taus refused to bow, but he is conceptualized in a very different way than Iblis or Christian Satan. And yet I've seen them equated in LHP books. I've seen Connoly describing the Yazidi as "ancient demonolaters", I guess to show how old her religion is, and completely ignoring how not only disrespectful but physically dangerous this equation is. And yes, actual Devil worshippers shouldn't be murdered as well, but outsiders labeling the Yazidi this way is something that literally kills people so please, just stop.

The Yazidi are NOT Devil worshippers.

New terf just dropped

Satanhasa/sideblog is a terf in the satanism community.

Screenshots below. I'd recommend just blocking them.

Satanism is not atheistic. It is a spectrum of beliefs that includes atheism but also different types of theism.

Everyone wants their brand of Satanism to represent true Satanism but falling into this fallacy negates the other 99% of Satanists.

Bedridden Witch: Bath Edition

For many of us, taking baths/showers is physically exhausting or impossible. Here are some ways to incorporate bath magic into your life without actually taking a bath or leaving bed!

Using wipes:

Wipes come in a variety of types, making them perfect. There’s usually a good fit for everyone, I personally enjoy the Burt’s Bees brand. I use correspondences to give my wipe-down a little oomph! I’m making this Burt’s Bees specific but you get the idea!

Cotton: Purity, healing, luck, protection. 

Cucumber and Sage: Recovery, growth, soothing. Protection, cleansing, wishes. 

Grapefruit: Cleansing, purification, energizing, healing.

Peach: Vitality, love, longevity. 

White Cypress: Grounding, purification, soothing. 

White Tea: Cleansing, clarity, blessings, glamour.

You can also draw sigils on the packaging, charge it with crystals, place the package in the sun/moonlight, etc.

Using washcloths/hand towels:

When I’m stuck in bed for a while, I keep a stack of washcloths and a vessel of water nearby so I can wash my arms and legs, or to put on my forehead to cool down. There’s a couple different ways to make this witchy!

Color correspondences for the washcloths themselves.

Use water charged in the sun/moon, or rain/storm water.

Charge your water with crystals or sigils. 

If you put the crystals in the water, which is not required, here is a list of crystals that cannot go in water:  [X] [X]

Infuse your water with some herbs beforehand.

If I’m placing it on my forehead, I’ll add a couple drops of diluted essential oils. 

Using a spray bottle:

Sometimes you just gotta mist yourself, which is especially helpful for the hair or days when it’s stuffy. 

I love adding some herbs or a bit of rosewater into the spraybottle.

Once again, you can use sun/moon and rain/storm water.

You can also charge the bottle with crystals or sigils.

I like to say a little chant: “Like the rains cleanse the earth, let this water cleanse me/my body/my mind”.

Sometimes I just spritz myself with rosewater.

Other things:

Dry shampoo. Use to refresh, glamorize, etc. Charge it beforehand if you so desire.

Lotion. Use to rejuvenate, heal, etc. Scent/ingredient correspondences!

Deodorant. Charge, scent correspondences, you get the idea!

Brushing your teeth. If you can’t make it to the bathroom, I like to keep a travel sized kit by my bed and spit into a cup (definitely different than the one I drink from). Don’t underestimate the cleansing and refreshing powers of brushing your teeth!

Anything else you can think of!

Low energy + ingredient magic for in the tub:

Pour some Epsom salts in there. Bonus points if they’re infused with anything. You know the deal, correspondences. You can also do this for a hand/foot soak if you’re able to access the floor and have a bowl!

Plop some tea bags in the bath. Mint really helps me with migraines and stomach stuff! You can also place them over your eyes/on your forehead.

Simple shower spell/glamour

Soak in positivity: a magical bath

Dark Sea Witchcraft

Many sea witches forget that the ocean is a dark, dangerous place, filled with deadly traps and monsters. This post is a collection of ideas on blending dark witchcraft with sea magick. (Note: I, along with many others, do not believe in the threefold law, so please keep your personal ethics to yourself)

Seashells are great for curses, as they can be broken into shards and put in a curse bottle. Research certain shell correspondences if you want a very specific curse.

Black sand can be mixed with black salt (or used by itself) for protective or cursing magick.

Saltwater gathered on the night of a dark moon makes the water even more potent for dark witchcraft.

Fish or turtle bones can be used in curse bottles or for divination. (Please only use bones that you find without actually hurting an animal. If you do sacrifice an animal, don’t be wasteful and please be humane. And definitely don’t sacrifice anything endangered!)

Shark teeth can be used for curses to cause fear in someone, or even bring real harm to them if used that way.

If you think on a broader scale, you can harness the power of the entire sea. Hurricanes and things like that are incredibly powerful, and are aspects of the sea. They kill many, many people, so I don’t recommend a hurricane curse, as they aren’t specific to who they harm.

Feel free to repost and add on to this!

HI! um this might be a really dumb question, and I hope I don't offend you, but is Luciferism the same as Satanism?

It’s okay, and no, they are not the same. Luciferianism is focused more on seeing our flaws, bettering ourselves, and aspiring to apotheosis by becoming more noble (think virtues) and divine. We educate ourselves about many things, such as languages, ancient texts, social issues, etc, and try to educate others as well. We embrace the aspects of humanity such as creativity, wisdom, and passion for learning. This can come in the form of Theistic, Agnostic, or Atheistic.

I am going to be a wuss and not define Satanism and there by avoid probably fucking it up. Just to be clear they are different, but one is no better than the other.

With either, Theistic practitioners may worship one of many entities given the title of Lightbringer/Morningstar or Satan. These titles are not exclusive to the basic devil type.

Lightbringers might include Jesus, Mary, Lucifer, Eve, or Prometheus.

Satans might include Ha-Satan, Shaytan, Samaul, Set.

The Divine Feminine in the Left Hand Path WITHOUT appropriation

When it comes to demonolatry, satanism, and luciferianism, most people tend to gravitate towards Lilith, which isn't great, considering that she is from Judaism, which is a closed religion.

So you're probably thinking "well shit Phi, who am I supposed to venerate as a feminine figure" and to that the answer is... read anyone BUT Lilith. Yeah, that doesn't sound to helpful does it?? Well, its actually more helpful than you think. There are MANY figures in the left hand path that can be venerated as your divine feminine.

Want an absolute Bad Bitch who doesn't take any shit? Look into Vepar, Astaroth, and Babalon to name a few!

Want someone who directly went against God? Eve! Shes the one who first ate the fruit of knowledge and got Adam to follow suit.

Want someone who could be motherly and deals with love? Gremory and Unsere are both wonderful choices!

Want someone who you could consider the consort of Lucifer? Diana in Stregoneria is considered to be Lucifer's consort. They have a daughter named Aradia who is considered the first witch!

"But I wanna worship someone that can be considered a succubus and help with sexuality!" Babalon. You're gonna wanna want Babalon.. like. She literally rides upon a 7 headed beast with a chalice of wine. Classy as all hell. People do tend to conflate her with Lilith but in my experiences Babalon is very distinctly different. If shes syncretized with any demon, it would likely be Astaroth. You could also work with Unsere and Gremory!

"Yeah but none of them call to me" and thats fine! If you keep searching through various hierarchies im sure you'll find someone that vibes with you! Plus, demons aren't bound by gender so for example, let's say you feel drawn to Sitri, a demon thats traditionally depicted as masculine, if she feels feminine to you, nothing is stopping you from venerating her in that way!

"But Lilith genuinely calls to me and I feel drawn to her" I get it..I really do. But if you wanna truly get the most out of working with her, look into Judaism. See if it resonates with you. If it truly does, look into converting. But don't convert solely so you have a free pass to work with Lilith.

"But I don't wanna be part of an Abrahamic religion!!! God sucks!!" Too bad buddy. Plus, the way God is portrayed in Judaism is VERY different than how they're portrayed in Christianity. If you don't wanna put in the effort to actually genuinely understand Lilith's source, why work with her?

"But I still hate Abrahamic religions!" Then check yourself. Do you really hate all abrahamic religions or just Christianity? Obviously its ok to hold resentment towards stuff that traumatized you, but to conflate all abrahamic religions together and act like they're the same is both antisemetic and Islamophobic. If your trauma is causing you to be a dick about stuff that didn't even tie into your trauma, do some soul searching and get help. Period.

Its easy to have a divine feminine figure in your LHP practice without appropriating closed cultures. Just use common sense.
