I own a "mini" #TarotDeck , it's clearly made to be super portable or whatever. But I want a more normal sized one. Also, while the Waite tarot is a classic, I feel like it is somewhat lacking, hard to say in what way exactly though.
So, I started exploring and now found three different decks that I want! But, it's all #tarot so having three decks that fulfill the exact same purpose seems wasteful? Yet, I don't want to decide, I just love the looks of each of them...
So, question to all the witches and occultists: Do you own multiple decks and do you use them all? I'd love to hear from you!

I was informed by the love of my life that the fight against #homeopathy is much akin to the fight against #witchcraft , #astrology , and #midwifery : a war against women's ability to gain and maintain independence.
Kelly-Ann Maddox has done another reaction video about ex witches who converted to Christianity and who have some claims about witchcraft which are rather unhinged. Kelly-Ann has quite a bit to say about it.

Two minizines that you can make copies and hand out, or just keep one for yourself.
I will post this tonight with alt text. There's four panels and they are upside down text in parts so I'll do something different with them this evening or if anyone needs a PDF file (I've saved this with alt text) message me and I'll send you a copy.
Sorcière aux lapins J’ai enfin terminé cette nouvelle illustration toute douce, avec plein de petits détails. Je me suis challengée car ce genre de composition met vraiment ma patience à mal mais je suis plutôt contente du résultat.
C’est un peu différent des ambiances habituelles, donc n’hésitez pas à partager vos impressions
One of my dolls lives in a museum. You can meet and greet her in The Museum of Magic, Fortune-telling & Witchcraft in Edinburgh, Scotland. It's Frau Perchta from Germanic mythology. She is waiting for you in Folk Witch display.
If you run a museum or any other public space that you think could benefit from such doll, let me know. I'm open for discussions and creating the doll that you need. I just love museums and the idea of my witch dolls greeting people in public spaces. If my doll lands in your museum I will brag about it forever.
This subject is vital to not only magick, but liberatory work as well. We must put our actions where our mouths are and leave the trappings -- especially those that benefit us -- of an oppressive society in order to liberate ourselves and those around us. In order to do this, and to work any magick, we first must know ourselves.
Know Thyself: Looking Deeper Into the Delphic Maxim
For over a year, a few years ago, I hardly spoke. I had needed to go through the death of the person I was, and start over, and it's difficult to know what to say when you have no framework for what the conceptual container of Self is. It was vital in this period to be certain that the recreation was authentic: for too long I'd been a chameleon, simply adopting the mannerisms and interests of the dominant personalities around me. And so to an extreme degree, I went inward. While there is a risk of such a period devolving into the creation of narcissistic complexes, inwardness is so often a necessary balancing factor, and at the time it was critical.
During this time, I began avidly delving into esoteric topics, as well as reading, painting, meditating, and engaging in workshops centered around movement practices. I had a job, which tethered me to a shared societal reality with other humans, and my partner and I did many of these activities together, but we spoke very little, and I did little additional socialization.
As I was researching esoteric subjects, I kept coming across this phrase “know thyself”. Over and over, in various books and pieces of media. At a glance its meaning felt painfully obvious—perhaps even patronizing. Years later, however, I’m coming to understand and practice this doctrine more deeply. I hope to spare you some of that time and share some of my realizations and practical advice for embodying this maxim in your own life.
