🍋🌞Solar Juice Witchcraft🌞🍋

Hello! Allow me to reintroduce myself!

I have managed to acquire some more traction on here, so I figured i would share a few things.

My name is Shelby

I'm a Gemini Sun, Scorpio Moon, Libra Rising

Like my intro header says my main Patron is Ra, but I do also communicate with Anubis

I'm currently a Sun witch with weather hobbies, but to quote video game character, "My muse is a fickle bitch with a short attention span!" -Sander Cohen, BioShock. I was heavily a divination witch, then I shifted to death witch, took a hiatus because of life, started off again with an interest in weather magic.

I'm also clairaudient, or at least have the tendency to be.

I still like divination, mostly Tarot, Oracle, and Pendulum.

Welcome to my blog, my asks and DMs are open. Come say hello!

I'm also struggling to finish this book. I'm not impressed.

Jasper Reviews "Psychic Witch" By Mat Auryn - A Fucking Dredge To Get Through

This is a book that's for a very specific audience.

This is a book for Wiccans or Wiccan-adjacent witches who can visualize, who practice "meditation" of some form, who believe in the very specific energy working system that the author describes, and who believe in the same sorts of magic/animism as the author does, i.e.:

four elements plus "quintessence" aka spirit,

a weird mangling of the concept of an inner child and shadow self brought on by modern people thinking that Carl Jung's shadow work was solely about "negativity" and "bad vibes",

everyone having a higher self,

everyone having a divine purpose,

three levels of souls,

auras,

cleansing and protecting before any and all actions even in your own space,

and so on.

I am none of those people. Mat Auryn's approach does not work for me, and I hated having to slog through 7 pages of introduction (aka Mat Auryn's backstory) only to get to the actual content and be sorely disappointed in this book that claims it can "be adjusted" to other people's spiritual/religious/magical viewpoints only to discover that it really can't. A lot of the things claimed to be universal (e.g. definitions of intuition versus psychic ability) are, in fact, not universal. I would argue this author up one side and down the other about this. Not in that the author is inherently wrong in their own definitions, but in that it's somehow universal.

I am also, as usual, docking a point for spelling magic with a K. I'm glad I own this copy, because I could go through with a pen and scribble out the unnecessary K.

This is not a useful book to someone who has already developed their own understanding of energy and energy work. But at the same time, it's so boring and stale (even with exercises all over the place) that I wouldn't want to give it to a beginner either.

Official Jasper Review: 3/10, not what I needed, and I don't want it.

Maybe other people get something from this book, but I just couldn't.

Actual Alternatives to "So Mote It Be"

"It is as I will it. "

"As I speak it so it is. "

"This I command."

This is by my power."

"This I manifest."

"By me and the powers that be."

"Because I fucking said so."

(Feel free to add some of your own.)

The complete 180 on your account confused me so much! Really vibing with the redesign, though! I hope it brings you so much joy <3

I will admit it is very much a shift. After seeing how popular my post about missing pastel witches was, and coming to realization that maybe that's a want that I can help with. Also, my Tumblr was growing dull, stagnant, and echoey, and it was becoming more of a curiosity and aesthetic account. I am happy that you like the vibes though!

alright i think we all agreed on #advwitchblr and also #grownasswitches so yall please use these tags so we can grow the community!

Finding My Way Again and Healing in the Process

After doing some deep thinking and working with Ra and Anubis, I was able to find my own joy again. But also, with healing it helped me discover what it was that I needed. And what I needed is different from what it was before.

I have dabbled with death witchy stuff, sort of fell off the wagon. That was a period of time that was hard with my husband at the time having a stroke, and when i finally got back on my feet I lived between a nursing and the town cemetery. After that, I took a break, and then I became interested in weather magic. Weather magic is awesome, and living in Kansas it will always be a part of my curiosity.

But of course, throughout my journey Ra has always been with me, and with that comes being attracted to the Sun, watching sunrises and sunsets, the color yellow, etc.
