spiritual rambling, thoughts and frustrations

I’m sick and tired of wet rag witchcraft, religion and spirituality! Love light positive energy banish the negativity only love and healing! I’m sick of sickly sweet spiritual things I have a headache from pastels and lilacs. I’m sick of self help magic or magick with the unnecessary K I’m sick of anti negativity and false positivity I’m sick of phrases like ‘living my best life!’ ‘Self love!’ ‘Be your authentic self!’ Yuk!!


 I’m sick of religion and spirituality that sees these things as separate and that denies the reality of God, Gods and other spirits or even reject the reality of miracles and miraculous events in the religion’s structure, faith and traditional history. 


I’m done with the criticism of the occult communities against mainstream communities embracing moderate mystical metaphysical spiritual things! No one has an exclusive right to any of it no one has a monopoly on religion spirituality or the mysteries of existence. Who are you to say some can and others can’t? Who are you to ridicule another on their journey of faith or magics? Your multitudes of initiations and your copious amounts of drug taking and excessive drinking definitely don’t give you the right to be self righteous and judgmental. 


Stop stopping others from exploring their spirituality and spiritual transformation stop claiming cultural appropriation and persecution when the only persecution is self made and all individuals and cultures are guilty of cultural appropriation. Stop criticising condemning and boycotting! 


Start learning and start guiding and teaching when correcting it needed. Guide  and teach with real answers and truth not halfhearted responses or arrogant entitlement. Teach and open all the doors you keep barricaded with unnecessary rules of secrecy and an ego centric attitude that goes with it. Remember always you are not the god or power you worship but a fellow servant and pilgrim on the journey. 



I don’t believe witchcraft is meant to be about the attainment of enlightenment or some sort of spiritual transformation or transcendence. I really don’t think that’s the role of witchcraft. It may be a by product or mystical exploration in the practice of witchcraft but I don’t think enlightenment is the goal of or in witchcraft. 


I’m skeptical about witch cult theories and crypto paganism whilst I believe that folk religion and magic and folk lore and medicine may have syncretic and  connected links to indigenous cultures pasts and shamanic like practices but for the most part they are essentially Christianised and are a type of folk Christian practice rather then “underground paganism” or pagan witchcraft if there really was such a thing. I definitely don’t believe that real witches were executed during the witch trials in history. There’s no witchcraft religious persecution! Get a grip already! 


I have no issues with the Devil in witchcraft but would argue that this may not be the Judaic Christian understanding of the being at least in the medieval concept of him. Satan and/or the Devil can’t do anything significant without the will of God allowing him to do it. The medieval theology gave the Devil too much power, power he never had. 


Stop being anti Christianity just because you are a witch pagan or polytheist these modern traditions exist because of Christianity and the church. Stop with conspiracy theories they help no one and only perpetuate misinformation. 


“Also there is no such thing as a "traditional witch", witches are intrinsically eclectic, syncretic, and incorporate everything under the sun and moon into their practice, there is no such thing as orthodox witchcraft, so I see no contradictions here, I've known witches who used Christian prayers, I've known witches that took up with Santero orisha, it is all still witchcraft.”



There’s no such thing as a universal religion of witchcraft 


I’m sick of feminist bull shit witchcraft! I’m sick of the man hating stereotyping goddess spirituality bollocks!! Get over yourselves and stop perpetuating the evils that were perpetuated upon you women! Get a grip already and stop creating a false history about matriarchal cultures that never existed or supposed patriarchal conspiracies. Just stop it! It’s dumb! 



If all gods are one and if everything is connected then Christianity is as much a part of paganism, witchcraft and hermeticism as any other religion or belief system. 


Books of shadows and grimoires are not a form of scripture in witchcraft.
