Yesterday I learned that the stars that make up Libra were originally the northern and southern pincers of the scorpion. So, Libras are daywalker Scorpios then? Maybe it wasn't about the balance or striking arachnid, but the canoodling that Venus and Mars got up to along the way... Idk #WitchSky

Finally, whatever you do, write everything down - the good, the bad, and the ugly. It's all data! Revisit it enough over time and you'll spot where you're going wrong/right, potential warning signs of deeper issues, and ways you can optimize for better results. Most of all, have fun! Be well.

You need to know the "story" you're trying to retell (or at least have a good idea) before starting your retelling. 5. Try out a completely different kind of magic from your usual. Come up with a list of at least six kinds you think you'd be okay with and roll a die.

4. Ever found yourself curious about historical accounts of magic? Try reconstructing what you can and giving them a go!!! The most important skill for this? Deconstructing the "story" of ritual. This may be controversial, but both spells and rituals are forms of storytelling.

3. Go through whatever witchy and occult books you have and try out some of their rituals. You know the ones I mean - the ones that maybe just got read then stuck on a shelf.

2. Take something you already do and see what happens when you do it a little differently. For example, if you normally cast a circle using one set of associations, try switching them around to see what happens (if anything). What happens when you cast that circle counterclockwise? Get curious!

Some suggestions for those of you who might want to join Team Fuck Around To Find Out: 1. Pull a Tarot/oracle card/rune then challenge yourself to come up with a sigil, amulet, or spell that aligns with the meaning. Record your methodology and any results you get down the line.

IMO one of the best things you can do for yourself as a witch is to figure out some magical FAFO for yourself and to go out and do it. Even if it goes wrong, you still learned something and will probably also have a funny story to tell about it. #witchsky

I'm so glad I waited to see what you had to say about this. A lot of people seem to be reacting from a place of trauma right now 😞. As always, I'm grateful for your work, both here and in the lab.

Try to make sure as many folks see this as possible, but especially MAGA. A lot of the stages described in this video are already familiar. Draw those parallels. Make those points. You may not get far with them, but they are not your audience. youtu.be/8K6-cEAJZlE?...

I've found that with my brain, my thoughts just kind of freeze, then move on to something else. A bit of stimming to reregulate, and I'm good to go. Maybe it's the same for you too? May as well give it a try. 2/2

Weird recent discovery. Sharing here in case it's helpful for others too. Whenever your brain starts throwing out disaster scenarios, instead of trying to ignore them or reframe, try challenging your brain to imagine even worse. Like, "Okay, you wanna do this? Let's fucking go!" 1/2

I don't think everyone gets that there is no going back to how things were at this point. The good/bad news is that everything is crumbling. The good/bad news is that we need to figure out what kind of society to build next. And we all need to start imagining that "next" now.

It also reminded me of an essay a friend shared about AI and how it supports the far right. (Link here: newsocialist.org.uk/transmission...) Parkrose highlights human artists in her video & I think that's important too. Human vs AI. A more human-friendly way of living vs Tech dystopia.

It's embarrassing, destructive, and looks like shit: AI-generated art is the perfect aesthetic form for the far right.

I keep thinking about a vid by @parkroseperma.bsky.social about the need for artists in the movement. She's 100% right. Art is important, and not only for marketing purposes. It can also help us to envision futures and ways of being outside of the neoliberal box. Imagination -> innovation. 1/3

This is the second time she's posted against going to war. It makes me wonder about the internal convos about Iran, because between this and Rick Scott going on TV talking about how we "need" to destroy Iran because of nukes, I'm going to be watching this one closely.

Chuck Schumer just axed his book tour. One of the most entrenched powerful men in the Senate did that because the People got loud and pissed off. Do not let anyone fool you into thinking that we The People are not in charge. We run these rich fucks when we claim our power. We can stop this coup.

I think Trump is what my mother would call "daft t'right road," or in other words, smart in a way that ultimately benefits them. He also has expert manipulators too. But I think people have consistently underestimated him since he first showed up, and that's a mistake.

Minerva actually shows up a few times in DC architecture too. Here we have "Minerva Dictating The Constitution To Young America" (a motif that apparently appears in a few places in DC), and the Minerva from the Library of Congress, her Medusa-adorned shield down to signify peace.
