Introductory post:
Welcome to my side of the internet. I'm Caiden; and I've been a witch for five years now. My practice is eclectic, but I tend to focus on high magic.
I post about demonolatry, philosophy, astral projection, and sometimes art commissions.
Nice to meet whoever comes across this post. I hope you enjoy my blog as much as I like posting 😊
When I was little I thought my paternal grandpa wouldn't hurt a fly. And when I was older I was told he straight up abused his kids.
He used to take me on joy rides on his jeep and gave me my favorite candy when I was sad, yet did not do the same to his daughters and only son. Instead he whipped out his belt or grabbed a cinder block to throw at them ..... I feel so bad for my father and aunts.
I understand I've already talked about Blitz both literally and metaphorically brightening Stolas' life in a few different ways in a previous post, but can we talk about the fact that you can see this kind of thing play out with the rest of the I.M.P crew as well?
Like, just look at how much color entered each of their lives after Blitz became entered their lives in some fashion. Just look at the sheer contrast of dark and bright colors between the before and after pictures.
Even before I became a witch I've always wondered what makes destiny. I was very curious and often times I thought of things very deeply. And this is one of the thoughts I thought of very deep.
As a child I was raised Christian by conservative parents, and my mother always told me, "Kung ano man ang plano ng Diyos ito ang mangyayari,"
English translation:
"Whatever God's plan is it will happen."
As a child that never satisfied me. I was scared to deviate from that faith, but nothing of it stuck with me for some reason. Perhaps it was always my destiny to become a witch? Which begs the question, what makes destiny?
Now that I'm older, a deviant from Christ and more experienced in my craft I think I have found the answer.
I think life is like a multiple choice test. And each choice we make is free, as in free will, and that the results change because we go through multiple timelines each with a fixed destiny. Like how a multiple choice test has multiple answers and depending on your choices, you'll either get a failing or passing grade.
And if we dissect that even further, technically we can't escape fate. Because our destiny is fixed but not rigid in a sense, more so like water. Water is always destined to follow the easiest path and fill up space like a river, but depending on what happens (our choices) we can shape the river and charter a new path.
So each timeline has a fixed destiny, but we can abandon a bad timeline with better choices.
Our destinies are fixed grades, and depending on our choices we can either pass and live a good life or fail and live a bad one.
Fixed but flexible.
It's a paradox and I think that's beautiful.
Guys i just saw a post from a witch (im assuming a relatively new one) that was asking if we were allowed to make up spells…like yes dude, thats the point. Every single spell you can find out there was just Made Up by someone. There are no universal rules for this shit. Make up weird spells, i promise you its better than casting pre-made ones that dont feel right to you
Where do they think spells came from? Other than pure imagination?
Some New Agers are like, "you see, the reason we keep incarnating on Earth is so we can expand our consciousness, and before we incarnate we decide what kind of lives we're going to live," but can't explain why so many of us seem to keep signing up for lives that everyone agrees are the Absolute Worst.
Others claim being born into a shitty life has something to do with karmic debt, but I'd like to know what the fuck billions of people did to merit half the bullshit that's going on in the world right now.
I keep reincarnating because samsara is great. I love striving and watching everything strive with me. Transcending the material world sounds boring as shit, there’s probably not even bold jumping spiders.
For me, I think we get to choose whether we reincarnate or stay in whatever afterlife is the alternative to reincarnation.
And for those who reincarnate I don't think we get to choose what life we live. I think we're given random life as a starting point then karma plays out after birth. That could explain why there's such a shitty society and why so many of us are affected. We didn't choose this life, just that we chose another go in life without context. Whatever afterlife we might have had is probably a lot worse than this life or we were dumb enough in the time of choosing to choose reincarnation.
I mean, that makes sense. Right???
Question everything you read here. Use your critical thinking skills. Is what you’re reading true to your practice? It might not be, even if it’s true to the practice of the person sharing. The fact of the matter is that witchblr is just a bunch of people sharing their UPGs (unverified personal gnosis, for those who don’t know). Take what applies to you and discard the rest. Everyone’s practice is different and that’s beautiful! But that means what anyone here says is not universal
Also no one here is the authority figure on witchcraft, and if they’re pretending to be, RUN!!!!!
So yeah, take everything here with a grain of salt. That includes me. That includes those more widely known witch blogs. That includes every single one of us here
But also just because something isn’t true to you does not mean it isn’t true to the person sharing it. Don’t go attacking others because your UPG contradicts their UPG
Please include me in your lists of witches that you may follow, but listen to with a grain of salt!
What I have to offer is what works for me and what I have experienced. If my ways don't vibe with you then that's fine, since we are different.
my little pony equestria girls fanart in 2024? not as uncommon as you think
but fr, i rewatch all of the equestria girls movies like, 3 times a year, at LEAST. sunset shimmer was absolutely my gay awakening when I was but a tiny tot, and to this day remains one of my top cartoon crushes, AND has seemed to be a base for my "type" in fictional character crushes--ya know, reformed antagonist girls who are magical?
this fanart was inspired by this fanart by Dreamz (i think that's what it says) that I saw on pinterest earlier today. I had never thought about her transformation having a permanent effect or change on her before, and I love it. probably going to doodle some twilight with similar stuff later.
finals are approaching so i should like, ya know...focus on drawing frames for my final animatic but...sunset shimmer.
I love it! I love her!
