a dreary ostara
Mar. 20th, 2020 09:39 amIt was absolute shit outside yesterday. Rainy, grey and definitely not what I was hoping for on the vernal equinox. Although I had a ritual in my mind, the energies just didn't seem right. Not to use it as an excuse, but I'd rather do ritual when I'm really feeling it instead of something that feels forced out of routine.
Instead, I did a 15 minute mediation and spent some time at my altar. Tbh, things have felt off in my practice for a bit now. Not everything, just a few particular issues that always keep cropping up for me.
Reason #1627 why I am growing to despise the "pagan community".
I see articles on healing crystals for immunity and sigils to boost your immune system and I just want to start smacking bitches. Then again, who am I to say that their magick wouldn't heal people? Something about it all is just so cringey. Like, if we hate the televangelists that do this shit, why is it ok for witches to make these claims?
Maybe I've become too skeptical? Like, yeah I think magick works but there are limits. We all see how that big internet curse on Donald Trump worked out:/
Science is a thing. It's not infallible though;old theories have been proven wrong by new discoveries.
Especially at a time like this, the idea of some sort of interventionist gods seems laughable. Then again, I have experienced things that tell me otherwise.
So...yeah..idk
There are a few trees that are special to me and it would have been nice to hear all the birds chirping in their nests and look for signs of spring on my neighborhood walk. Oh well.hopefully tomorrow will be a brighter day:)
