Do you ever get super frustrated by your illness? Today I started getting extreme muscle pain and spasms which I think are due to not being able to eat due to my illness. I sat in a room and cried because it hurt so bad and I couldn’t even get up to go to choir which is a passion of mine.

ALL THE TIME. Daily. It’s so damn frustrating to feel like your body is failing you.

Something that’s been helping me learn to accept it and minimize the self-hatred is realizing my body is actually trying it’s best. Now, it isn’t doing the a perfect job, obviously. If it was, I wouldn’t be in this situation.

I’ve been changing my thoughts from “my body is failing me” or “my body is giving up” to “my body is trying it’s best” or “after all this shit, it’s still going” in a sympathetic voice.

It reminds me of when one of my kittens tries something but their bodies and brains just aren’t equipped for it yet. I don’t blame them, they’re giving it their all. They just don’t have to resources or capacity to do it and it’s kind of adorable.

Yeah so anyways my pain-riddled body is actually the equivalent of a confused kitten that’s genuinely trying it’s best given the circumstances, and I’m proud of it even though it usually doesn’t do the right things.

So there’s a coyote wandering around our block and my house specifically. I don’t know what to do, so I’m coming to you the animal person. Also, hhhhiiii! *waves*

Give it space, don’t try to interact with it, don’t let your pets go outside.

Coyotes aren’t inherently dangerous, but can sadly be habituated to humans which can make them unpredictable (and therefore potentially dangerous).

Something I sadly see in the witch community sometimes is the combination of the awe of seeing a wild animal, and the sense of entitlement from being a witch leading to interactions that could be a danger to both themselves and the animal (by habituating it to humans acting a certain way). I repeat people, give them space.

Hey Mouse! So, uh, this sounds like a dumb thing, but here goes. Lately I thought there was something hanging around the house and I started talking to it a bit more and leaving small offerings (primarily honey). Then I fell into an emotional rut and had a dream that night- most of which is vague, but the clearest thing in my head that won’t disappear is this image of a cat- and i’ve got the details down, i think, and now it feels like they’re hanging around. would that be an actual thing? thank

I’m having a bit of a hard time understanding your ask, it’s been a long day and my brain is fried!

It certainly could be some sort of house spirit or other being hanging around 🙂

And are you saying you had a dream about a cat and now there’s cats hanging around?

Do you ever personify your tarot deck? I’m super new to tarot reading and but I’ve been trying to spend time with my deck and do simple reading with it but I find when I’m working with it I talk to it like a person. Like I use she/her to refer to it and I feel like it had a super defined personality. Is this stupid of me to think?

Not weird at all! I find that a lot of decks I work with have certain personalities and energies ☺️

Hello witch mom!! 🖤💜🧡 Wanted to ask if you read any good books that would do for a beginner witch? If so, I’d like to hear some of them!

A lot of witch books, especially for beginners, have some wonderful information! They also have some iffy information, or stuff that may not fit for you. That’s just how it is. You can always learn something from any book if you go into it with critical thinking. That being said, here’s some books I’ve read/have heard good things about that I would recommend:

I’ve purchased these books but haven’t read them yet:

Another thing to consider is the value of non-witchy books. Some of my best information is from books catered to everyone. You don’t need witch-specific books for things like herbal healing/remedies, crystals, astrology, etc. 

Additionally, don’t underestimate the value of online resources – you don’t have to drop a lot of money on books. 

Witches, feel free to reblog with your suggestions of books to read/avoid ❤
