Finally someone gets me
A common attitude that I find absolutely insufferable is whenever people insist, "It's just the way things are."
"You just feel old when you're in your 30's."
"Some people are just assholes like that."
"Kids are just difficult at that age."
Like...buddy. Given all the horrors we've seen the past few years I think it's time we call a spade a spade. The only purpose these answers serve is to justify your feelings. They don't actually explain anything.
Why do we feel old in our 30's? Have we meaningfully differentiated "aging" from things like "fatigue from adult responsibilities catching up to us" or "sleep debt" or "fatigue from chronic pain"?
Why are some people assholes? Is it because they enjoy pushing others around, or is it a byproduct of something like insecurity, anger due to feeling powerless, mental health issues, stress, rebellion, trauma, fear, conditioning on how they ought to behave, etc? Have we asked people why they act like assholes sometimes?
Why are kids difficult at that age? Is it nature or nurture? Are they trying to communicate something they can't put into words? Are they bored and need enrichment? Is their behavior a symptom of a health problem? Have you asked them what's up? Do you have a history of respecting their answers, enough for them to confide you with the truth?
Sure, you don't always have to be interested in investigating the reason behind something, but that's a choice that says you're content with not knowing, rather than the reason truly being "it's just the way things are, are who are we to question it?"
Questioning things is why we have smartphones, ibuprophen, and elections, Greg. If we were fine with the way things were we wouldn't have bothered leaving the trees.

Manifesting more environmental activists while actively promoting it sounds like itād work. And thereās so many spell ideas possible that double as something that incorporates reducing, reusing, repairing and other stuff like that!
It would make a cool new path people can follow too!
Thereās just so many possibilities that I wanna talk about!
Stopping the big oil corporations is definitely a must, ofc we canāt just stop them in their tracks like that. But I do believe that a large amount of people can cast spells to present issues. Like stopping as much of their sales as possible. Which isnāt really enough to stop but itās still something that can cause problems and stress. Or cast spells to get more attention in real life or on the internet and start sharing about the environmental impact they cause. Add some persuasion to it too! Then we can get people to rethink and possibly refuse to buy/use their stuff. I really donāt know much about how big oil corporations work, other than the fact that they extract oil and sell it. Iām not sure if their target audience is big companies or individuals or a mix of both so feel free to correct me. But yeah, cause some issues, make them lose money.
now for spells. I know a lot of witches already reuse jars but I donāt see any other container? Glass isnāt the only thing you can use after all (As long as you donāt put it in the ground, iām talking about plastic) The plastic container for gum could be used for a spell instead of being thrown away, old clothes can be cut up and used to make sachets (Iāve only seen a few people doing this?) if you donāt donate it, I know lots of witches do this but repairing things with intention as a spell is amazing, manifest a meatless meal once a week if you can.
And a lot of witches buy crystals without knowing if they come from an ethical source or not. Or if theyāre mining too much crystals from one area. I feel like we need to do something about that. We also need to start telling people that they donāt have to have crystals. In my experience, an enchanted rock with a sigil or rune drawn on it works.
Iām sure someone has done this before. Planting something with the intention that something will grow as the plant grows. Now imagine something like team trees but with for each tree, thereās an intent set that helps the climate change issues.
Itād be very nice if we could make Antarctica just a little colder too.
also I really wanna hex a big oil corporations.
Ok so weather magick is possible, so can we get a bunch of witches together, or have as many witches as possible preform some spells together to slow down global warming?
Not cast spells with the intention of āending climate changeā I mean like, spells for colder weather, cursing the top 1% every time they make a decision that hurts the environment, just being environmentally friendly, manifesting more environmental activists and people actively trying to reduce their carbon footprint, stuff like that.
Itās just a thought but if we can get enough people, itād be possible right?
I tried to do quads today! I think i had an extremely short shift or something after, I think my (phantom) shifts are more of a spectrum though, like spectrum of animal to human. Like I tried doing quads while going up the stairs and into my room, i jumped onto my sisterās messy bed that has loose sheets, and just started playing with the sheets without really thinking. Then my uncle walked in and I snapped back, he asked me some questions before leaving. Was that a shift? I mean it was more animalistic and very cat like, Iām very convinced that Iām a feline now, so itās possible right? But iāve only had phantom shifts so I wouldnāt know.
I DID IT! I CAN FINALLY MEOW AND PURR AND HISS!
For people who want to record their spells in a grimoire or elsewhere and enjoy having an outline like I do. This is designed to make it as easy as possible to look back and see what elements may have effected the outcome for better or worse.
āļøName of Spell: Self-explanatory. āļøIntent: What do you want to gain from this? Whatās the goal? āļøTime Cast: Date, day of week, moon phase, etc. āļøIngredients/Materials Used: Consider adding their relevant correspondences or WHY you chose them in particular. āļøActions: What did you do? What did you say? āļøNotes: Did anything strange or interesting happen while casting? Relevant music come on? Were you interrupted? Are the candles acting weird? Make note. āļøOutcome: Follow up with the results! Did it work in the way you expected, or do you need to tie up loopholes next time? If it didnāt work, what elements of the spell could be improved?
ā¦If you want to flex your communication muscles but donāt want to be cutting deals or making things complicated for now. Just little things to try.
