For #nofilterwitchcraft! I’m feeling super under the weather today, so I decided to break out the good tea and French press. I do a lot of work with tea in my witchcraft. I don’t have the energy to spare to put my own into the tea, so the ingredients and whatever benevolent energy the universe wants to throw my way will just have to do. The tea is a rooibos vanilla chai mix from a local tea company in KC. Their website is www.dragonflyteazone.com!
I’m sure this is true of Tumblr and social media as a whole, and not just Witchblur, but it seems like a lot of witches, particularly if they are new, feel a certain degree of guilt when they see all these posts by Elder Witches with Ye Olde Grand Altar with Flawless Aesthetic and Perfect Perfectness at all times.
And let’s be honest.
None of us actually fucking live like that.
Our altars get dusty. Our workspaces get cluttered. Maybe our space isn’t very ideal to begin with, when we’re not carefully cropping out the crappy edges. Don’t lie: at most times apart from when we’re taking pictures for Witchblur or IG, it can look, well… not exceptionally magical. And certainly not as straight-up supernatural as it does after we’ve gotten done editing it within an inch of its life.
So I propose that on Saturdays, as an act of encouragement and solidarity to witches – and baby witches especially – who are feeling guilty for not being something that doesn’t fucking exist, we post #nofilterwitchcraft.
Take a picture of anything having to do with your witch-ness, that is not tailored for perfection, not carefully pruned, not super aesthetic, and throw it up on Witchblur or IG. It doesn’t have to be a working, per se. It can be anything, as long as it’s witch-related in some way.
Here’s mine.
This is my usual workspace, which is a tiny side table which usually shares space with my ugly speakers and in this case, also some random hair shit. Also in-frame is my extremely ugly early 2000′s fold-away caravan mattress (which I couldn’t be fucked to actually fold up today), and my cover-less duvet. In other words, I am more or less a mess.
Let’s see yours. Tag #nofilterwitchcraft and I’ll reblog if you want.
This is a wonderful idea✨
Got to remember this for next saturday! My workspace is always a mess and covered in incense ashes.
Feel free to post it whenever you want! I’ll check the tag and pick some to reblog on Saturdays though.
So I seem to be *actually* getting around to this on Sundays. Keep ‘em coming!
I can try to do this! Most of my witchcraft stuff is in boxes due to preparing to move. Most of my magic comes from these boxes rather than a nice little altar I have set up somewhere.
