missing my familiar a bit more than usual tonight :( divider by @strangergraphics || none of these pics are mine !

Across the Veil

I've been seeing frequently around the web of people looking more into spirit communication and working with spirits with spooky season rolling around so I thought that making a series on my blog talking about safety and how-to's would be a good idea and get a bit more engagement on my page :) If you're interested and want to know more before you get started click the 'keep reading'...if you dare

1. STOP GETTING ADVICE OR TELLING PEOPLE TO GET ADVICE FROM TIKTOK

I genuinely cannot express how DANGEROUS this is. I deleted tiktok nearly a year ago now, and to give credit there are respectful and knowledgeable practicers on there that do warn people, but for the most part people are giving harmful advice on what to do because they want something and want it now or they are teenagers with very little experience (respectfully) There are plenty of very old and wise websites that are run by very wise and in-tune witches or psychics that have been doing this for years and will give you real tips on what to do if spirit magick or communication is what you want to dive into The best way in my opinion to learn (at least for me) is to buy or look for older books on rituals and spirits but always double check the authors credibility and use your own intuition to know if they're spitting possible BS before you buy it

2. Never actively reach out or try to provoke a spirit.

When I was younger and realized what I was frequently seeing were spirits, I became obsessed and wanted to see them all the time or really test how close I could get and if I could possibly even talk to them outside of when I was sleeping. More often then not though, what I learned was that the spirits that you'll end up reaching out to the most, especially without wards or protection on you, are ones that are miserable, upset, or are looking for someone to latch onto to share their pain with or to not be lonely anymore. Spirits are shy and sometimes more afraid of you then you are of them. I often see them more in the reflects of smaller mirrors in my room that I have cleansed or lingering in isolated areas just observing; I once however had a spirit latch onto me for almost 2 weeks to the point I slept with my door locked and my familiar in my room and had to actively avoid dark zones in my mom's home for it to leave, and when I was much younger I had a spirit tormenting me at night for a year so much that I slept with a bible under my pillow and a cross in front of my bed to keep it away. 3. If you hear something talking to you in the woods or at night in your home outside of your protected place like your room NEVER talk back to it

In the part above I mentioned a spirit that latched onto me and made me lock my doors at night. I was probably 17 at the time and still living at home with my mom and younger sister, I was getting water and it was around 11 pm when I hear something around the corner and into the dark hallway outside of the kitchen where I had the lights on saying "What are you looking for Roxie?" in a distorted voice that sounded like my mom's but gave me the chills since I knew that it wasn't her. I looked around and she was in her room with the door shut, and it was just me and my familiar in the kitchen where he was eating before I promptly turned away and turned the lights off before heading to my room and calling for my familiar to also come to bed. For the next two weeks it became more and more persistent, hiding and watching in the dark corners of rooms to the point I could nearly see an outline of it. I had to lock the door because at night I would hear something touch the handle, or knock into the door and I would even hear a faint distorted meow that sounded a lot like my familiar but I knew it wasn't him because he was already in the room with me, often sleeping at the foot of my bed or sitting in front of the door just watching it. I never spoke to it or engaged with it, and only in my room where I knew I was safe I would lock the door and say, "I'm not going to share your misery with you, you need to leave." very firmly or would actively force myself to be positive and stay away from negative thoughts because that's the energy it was feeding off of.

Unless the ritual or spell you're performing is actively needing spirit guide or help to work or be strengthened, leave the other ones alone and it is just my personal preference and advice to only work doing the evening or early in the morning when there is still a bit of day light out just incase the wrong spirit tries coming to you

🍂 Seasonal Reminder for Witches and Pagans 🍂

Many animals are currently migrating in many areas around the world because it’s autumn. With the changing temperatures and weather, many may be searching for warmer or even colder climates. If you’re seeing groups or just many of them, it’s more likely that they’re migrating and that it’s not necessarily a sign. I’m seeing a lot of witches and pagans on here thinking they’re getting a grand sign by seeing flocks of birds, deer, butterflies, etc. In other words, nature just being nature. That’s not to say that it’s not possible that some of these occurrences may be signs- this is just a reminder that not every occurrence is a sign. It’s important to consider mundane explanations as well as spiritual explanations. Mental health can be more vulnerable in the colder months, so it’s important to remember things like this to prevent issues like spiritual psychosis. I say this not to put down anyone’s practices or beliefs, but as a way of looking out for each other 🫶
