WITCHTIP TUESDAY: Consent


 

WITCHTIP TUESDAY: Consent

Let me start by saying that I have very strong feelings about love spells. There are very few that I feel are acceptable, and that is because most of the love spells out there involve removing someone’s ability to consent to romantic interactions. As a sexual assault survivor, I understand the damage that is done to someone who has their ability to refuse or consent taken away. I feel that love spells that make someone believe that they are in love with someone else are mind control, a violation of that person’s being, and should never be done. They are akin to rape in my eyes. If you want to use a spell that will draw in love from the universe, go for it. You won’t be taking away anyone’s consent by doing so. Want a spell to help you find your true love? Go for it. Your true love is someone you will meet eventually anyway. You will not violate them by asking them to show up sooner. Want to make a spell to learn to love yourself? Go for it. When you love yourself, you will find sharing love with others is so much easier. You and your partner want to spice up your relationship with a spell you cast together? Are you consenting adults? If yes, go for it. But the minute you start talking about casting a spell to make someone obsessed with you, or think they’ve fallen in love with you (which they haven’t), or to break up someone’s relationship so that you can have a chance with them, I will want nothing more to do with you. I don’t have any respect for people who think they don’t need to ask for consent and cast spells that force someone to give it instead.

This time of year, you see love spells everywhere. So many of them talk about getting the attention of that special someone, or making that person fall madly in love with you. First, all you’re doing is making that person think they have feelings for you. They don’t really have feelings for you. Second, spells break, and they will stop feeling that way at some point. Do you really want to deal with that? And last, if someone you didn’t like put a spell on you to make you think you were in love with them, would you be happy about it? Would you be ok with someone doing that to you? I already know the answer is no, so why would think it was ok to do that to someone else? Where’s your empathy? Just because you have the ability to do something, doesn’t mean it’s ok to do it.

I know I’ve probably lost a few followers for taking this stance but guess what! I don’t care. I don’t want anything to do with people who this it’s ok to violate someone, and if you’re casting a love spell to force someone to give their consent then you are violating them.

I hope you enjoyed reading this. Have a great day. Blessed be.

WITCH TIP TUESDAY: YOU CANNOT CREATE LOVE WITH A LOVE SPELL

Image
  YOU CANNOT CREATE LOVE WITH A LOVE SPELL I am well aware of the fact that I am going to piss off a number of people who sell love spells with this post, and I really do not care. They’re selling magical roofies and they know it. Love spells do not create love. You can cast them to draw in love if you don’t focus on a specific person. They can be used to create desire or longing. They can create sexual attraction. In some cases, they can be used to control someone’s mind to the point where they think they’re in love with you, but they will never genuinely love you. Love is too complicated an emotion to be created by a spell. This isn’t some Disney movie where the spell breaks and that person suddenly realizes they were in love with you the whole time either. If anything, that person is likely to feel violated and run for the door, and they are right to feel that way. If you are trying to control someone with a spell, you are violating them. Consent is important in magic just like

Broken Post: 8/26/2020 WITCHY WEDNESDAY: Pistachios

 WITCHY WEDNESDAY: Pistachios I’ve decided to start posting things I know about herbs each week on Wednesday. If there is something you know about the herb, we’re exploring that I have not covered, please feel free to share that knowledge in the comments. Pistachios have gotten a lot of attention lately for being a healthy snack. Even though they are often called nuts, they are actually a type of seed and are related to cashews. Pistachio trees can live up to 300 years and are originally from central Asia. The seeds are high in protein, Thiamine (B1), Vitamin B6, among a lot of other vitamins and minerals. In ancient times, people believed pistachios could be used medicinally to treat problems with the liver and stomach, though there is no evidence that this is an effective treatment today. Magically, pistachios are most often thought of as being an antidote to love spells, and it is recommended to feed them to a loved one who is under the influence of a love spell. They can be used fo

  THAUMATURGIST THURSDAY: Garnet Today is Thaumaturgist Thursday, the day make a post about the uses of stones in magic. I hope you enjoy this repost about garnets. Garnets are gemstones that come in various shades of red and are associated with fire. They are the birthstone for January, and are considered a very lucky gift, and very unlucky to steal. Centuries ago, they were used to drive away evil spirits and demons. They are said to be powerful protection stones that warn you of danger, bring harm to your enemies, and cause those who would harm you to become spooked and leave. Garnets are also good for love, especially in the form of passion. Because of this they are often used to increase the libido. Some people use them to attract a compatible companion. They can also be used to obtain power and wealth. In short, there are many uses for garnets in the magical world. I hope you enjoyed learning a bit more about January’s birthday. Have a great day. Blessed be. https://www.e
