Determination arises when we can see that life has nothing else to offer, except for our own spiritual growth and final emancipation. We need not change our lifestyle but our approach, our reactions, and our understanding of what is happening around and within ourselves.

luna-de-flores:

a spell to help cleanse and declutter any area or aspect of your life, leaving you with the perfect degree of minimalism for you.

☽ w h a t y o u w i l l n e e d ☾

• one white candle of any scent, size, or shape
• a piece of paper
• a pen or pencil
• (optional) clear quartz of any shape or size, the clearer the better

☽ s t e p s ☾

(note: i prefer to do this during a new moon as a representation of new beginnings, and this spell will be more powerful during a new moon, but other than that the lunar phases should not affect this spell.)

1. (optional) reflect on what it is you wish to declutter with a clear quartz near your heart or head for clarity. this clarity will aid you when you need to think clearly about what is it you need, want, and will discard.

2. write down whatever it is you wish to declutter, whether it be your room, your mind, your closet, etc. or something much more specific, such as the middle shelf of your bookcase.

3. light the candle closest to whatever it is you will be decluttering.

4. let the candle burn for a minute, and quietly observe the flicker of the flame. once the minute is up, place the paper you’ve written on over it, and let it burn. snuff out the candle once you’re done and let the smokey intent cleanse the area.

5. begin decluttering, and hold your clear quartz if you begin to feel overwhelmed. throwing out trash and taking out plates, cups, or other silverware is the best way to ease into this spell’s effect. you can move onto bigger messes later.

☽ n o t e s ☾

• sigils burned alongside the paper can be used in conjunction with this spell.
• this spell lasts until you go to bed, and can be repeated as many times necessary.
• this spell can be used as a foundation for a more specific, personalized decluttering spell. the clear and white colors allow for mixing and creativity to your heart’s content.

happy cleaning! šŸŒ™

only females can be witches, but magic is for everybody

100% factually wrong.

Anyone (except TERFs and Nazis) can be a witch, regardless of their gender and this TERF dog whistle bullshit is disgusting, immoral, and you should be shamed for peddling this hateful garbage.

I encourage everyone to block @juniperdyke and every TERF like her. TERFs can’t be witches. You’re not allowed.

This made me laugh so fucking hard lmfao try and stop me from doing magic dumbass

Males will never be witches 😘 die mad

@aphroditeisaterf

Soooooo a few things:

1. Hi! First off, yes; I’m a gay guy who is also a witch ā¤ļø Thankfully you saying I don’t exist doesn’t remove me from existence. Thank the gods for that.

2. Speaking of the gods, can ya stop using one’s name to spread hate?

3. I don’t think you’re a Hellenic Polytheist(sorry if you are I guess, but I didn’t see anything about it on your blog other than the title) but idk why anyone would think Aprodite, the literal goddess of love, would hate/exclude trans women. Like, talk to someone actually a part of the religion you’re ripping Aphrodite from. Aphroditus is a thing. Whether you follow the belief that Aphroditus is a trans version of Aphrodite or that Aphroditus is Her son, both lend themselves towards Her being accepting and loving towards trans people.

4. Also there’s no one correct interpretation of the gods? Sooooo if you really wanna be all Aphrodite loves terfs, you gotta let people have their own beliefs too. That includes understanding people are allowed to worship a trans woman Aphrodite.

5. More over, Hellenic Polytheism is super accepting of everyone on the lgbt+ spectrum. Blogs titled like yours are kinda the exact opposite. And just isn’t very cool šŸ‘

Aaaaaaand that’s about all I care to type for now.

@aphroditelovestwerfs please also read the above numbered list. I’m too tired to write this shit out again.

Gonna be totally honest, I didn’t read I thing you said. Men can’t be witches no matter how badly they wanna identify as such. It’s reserved for women. Point blank.

@aphroditelovestwerfs

Well that’s just being stubborn. I’m gonna keep being a witch whether you think I can or not. But if you can’t listen to me as a witch, listen to me as a Hellenic Polytheist. Read points 2-5.

ā€œI didn’t read a thing you saidā€ good that means we shouldn’t waste our time reading your points then lmao
