Random Witch Advice

That (mostly) doesn’t have anything to do directly with practicing, but is useful anyway.

Don’t test your abilities. Don’t try and see if your abilities are real. The universe can and will overpower your spiritual input and basically call you out on your bullshit and tell you to start being confident about your craft.

The best ingredients tend to be the most simple ones. You don’t need these expensive as hell materials to have a successful spell. Honestly, I’ve had spells where I get had a piece of paper, a pen, and a lighter, and guess what? They worked.

Moon water is such a useful tool. And so easy to make. Just make it if you don’t have any, even if you don’t need it right then and there. You might want it soon.

Are crystals necessary? No. Do they help a shit ton? Yes. Do you have to buy expensive ones? No. You could literally go to a craft store and find semiprecious gemstone beads - just make sure the beads aren’t man made replicas. Sometimes it can be hard to tell, so watch out!

You don’t need a black mirror or crystal ball to scry. Just grab a bowl, fix its energy, and fill it with water. Bam. Scrying instrument.

You don’t need a physical witchcraft journal to be an Official Witch. Sometimes, it’s just so much easier to make a labyrinth of links on a free make-your-own website and call it a day.

Tarot apps are better than no tarot.

If you can’t find a label for your craft and feel like you need one to be an Official Witch, you don’t. Just vibe, honey. Just go with it. You have a label that works enough on its own. It’s the word “witch”.

Check. Your. Sources. If someone posts something that seems sketchy, search into it. If someone posts something that’s to good to be true, search into it.

To follow up on the last one, when you notice misinformation, point it out (respectfully)! If the witch on the other end doesn’t budge, well, you tried, friend.

How To Help Trans, Nonbinary Communities Amid Reported Trump Policy Plans

The Trump administration is working on a plan to severely narrow the legal definition of gender, according to a report in The New York Times on Sunday.

The proposed policy, according to the Department of Health and Human Services, would define gender “on a biological basis that is clear, grounded in science, objective and administrable,” meaning it would define gender as either male or female as determined by genitalia at birth. Any dispute about an individual’s gender would require genetic testing. This would have major repercussions for the transgender and gender nonconforming communities ― particularly in regard to health care.

Roughly 1.4 million Americans identify as transgender, and as of 2017, violence against this community is on the rise.

Since the Trump plan was revealed, protesters have been gathering online ― often using the hashtag #WontBeErased ― and in person around the country. On Sunday night, several hundred people gathered in Washington Square Park in New York City.

But there is still a lot of work to be done to make sure the trans and gender nonconforming communities are protected. 

Here are some ways you can help:

Vote

You’ve likely seen people coming out in droves to encourage others to vote; it’s one of the most important things you can do as an American. Casting ballots at the federal, state and local levels affects transgender rights. Check Vote.org for ways to promote turnout in your area. Call your friends and family members nearby to go to the polls with you, and remind those in other states to vote too. 

Educate yourself

Being an ally isn’t just patting your trans or nonbinary friends on the back or retweeting them occasionally. It’s about respect and fighting for their rights. The first step to being a good ally is educating yourself on the basics — knowing someone’s preferred pronouns, avoiding stereotypes and learning what policies in government directly affect the trans and gender nonconforming communities. You can find a primer on those issues and more here.

Promote helpful resources and trans-led organizations

While many “prominent national organizations are not led by trans or nonbinary people,” many are and need help on both the national and local levels. Some of those organizations, according to Out magazine are: Audre Lorde Project, Casa Ruby, Familia: Trans Queer Liberation Movement, Fierce, Organizacion Latina de Trans en Texas, Southerners on New Ground, Sylvia Rivera Law Project, Trans Latin@ Coalition, Trans Law Center and Trans Lifeline. More comprehensive lists can be found at the Trans Justice Funding Project and Borealis Philanthropy’s Fund for Trans Generations.

Sharing numbers like the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 800-273-TALK (8255), the Trevor Project at 866-4-U-TREVOR (866-488-7386) and Trans Lifeline at 877-565-8860 can be immensely helpful for those in crisis.

Share the work of trans activists and journalists

Groups like Lambda Legal, the ACLU and the Transgender Law Center are legal organizations that ofter extensive information about trans rights and policies that affect them. Keep an eye on their social media pages to see if they’re holding events you can take part in or to share their messaging.

Additionally, sharing the work of trans and gender nonconforming journalists helps spread the messaging being put out by the community for the community. Too often, work about the trans community is written by people who are not members of that community ― which can be completely OK, as long as it’s done correctly. This piece in Them does an excellent job of explaining the problem with media organizations not hiring trans reporters to cover trans issues.

Some individuals to follow include Janet Mock, Laverne Cox, Chase Strangio, Tyler Ford, Trace Lysette, Amiyah Scott and Meredith Talusan.

I know there’s a lot of tension after Tumblr’s new policy annouced for December 17th, but reblog this if you aren’t leaving Tumblr so that other blogs can know they aren’t going to be completely alone!
