low energy witchcraft by @weak nest
*this list is curated by staff and includes all different energy levels
sigils are a quick and easy solution to almost any spell ! you can either create them w pen to paper, digitally draw them, or use a website to create them.
pinterest boards ! these are great for low energy and closet witches who want to have digital altars or manifest certain things.
playlists, you can make playlists for really anything ! spell work, deities, spirits, elements, etc
spending time around your divination tools counts ! think like hanging out w a friend
talking to spirits and deities ! tell them anything, ask for help, or just have a little hangout sesh
color magic ! certain colored hair ties, what clothes you're wearing, change your phone background, etc
change the clothes your wearing, brush you hair, brush your teeth, or take a shower for some simple energy cleansings
light a candle ! if your energy isn't enough to move to light one then use a candle app !
research and jot down things into your digital grimoire
use oils, scented perfumes, or wipes to help with small spells
meditate ! let yourself zone out and just relax for a bit
if you work with deities, include them in anything you’re watching or reading !
if able, think about your practice. is there something you want to change? something new you want to focus on?
rest ! this is by far the best practice and can help within your practice in more ways than one

Book Review by @rocky light
and why I wish I left it on the library shelf
Medical VS Spiritual
This is the main point of the book, intertwining spiritual health with that of the body and mind. Author acknowledges they are different, but does not elaborate beyond specific cases he has experienced. Acknowledges the difference "between clairvoyance and delusion is vast", yet prioritizes supposed miracles of delusion. Understanding a correct diagnosis is helpful and healing, but recommends to not speak with a doctor about hallucination, or other spiritual signs. Claims to be literally psychic.
Unhealthy / Unsafe stories
Several instances author quotes patients or cases he's experienced, many of which have an unsafe moral such as stopping needed medication, replacing medicine with meditation or to stop seeing a doctor entirely. Overplays the stereotype of people being institutionalized for fear.
Language Used about health
The language used in regards to mental health changes from objectifying, romanticism or straight diminish and dismissing. Going from regarding historical figures as being "clinically insane", to "spirtual wonders". Also very weird bits of the differences between "male spiritual forces" and "female spiritual forces".
An interesting perspective. One passage about how we use metaphors, how the burning bush of Moses may not have been literal. Instead the fire was a feeling he got from God, but worded it to the people so they may understand more literally.
Another passage about for those who are spiritual or religious; it should be taken into account of their health. That "any blaming of the patient for lack of faith or of spiritual failure, should constitute medical malpractice" which is an intriguing take.
Does provide actual bits of mental health advice; but nothing new or substantial. Very basic methods such as breathing techniques, stretches, and small activities.

Witchcraft and Aids by me
Aids are used by many people who have different challenges with everyday tasks! For example, visual aids such as glasses, contact lenses, and screen readers help with sight. Mobility aids like walkers, scooters, or canes assist with movement, and some include braces for the hands, legs, shoulders, or hips. Hearing aids include captioning devices and small audio devices that go in or near the ear. There are so many options to support different needs!
This post will go into ways you can incorporate witch-based concepts with any aids you may use!
Glasses/Contacts
In-ear/out of ear aids
Walking aids

Things you can do for worship when you are dealing with executive dysfunction
"Executive dysfunction is a symptom that happens with conditions that disrupt your brain’s ability to control thoughts, emotions and behavior. It’s common with conditions like ADHD, but can also happen due to brain damage or degenerative brain diseases."
I found this post by willothewitch on tumblr an amazing help when I was stuck in a dysfunction loop!

Energetic Cleansing Shower
by me
This is perfect for the new year, a monthly deep cleanse, if you feel a lot of negative energy around, or if it’s just been a while.
All affirmations, no visualizations needed (though you definitely can add them)
For my spoonie friends:
Don’t have the spoons for a full shower? You can do light touches/massages where the action is supposed to take place. Or I’ve provided a small alternative, marked with the spoon emoji 🥄
Initial Rinse
Ground and center yourself. Feel the water. Also a great time to do a small bit of meditation.
Shampoo
-# 🥄: dry shampoo
“I am washing away any bad habits, leaving them behind.”
Exfoliating
“I am ridding the old me, leaving room to grow and better myself.”
Conditioner
-# 🥄: leave in conditioner
“I allow myself to be ambitious and motivated.”
Body Wash
-# 🥄: baby wipes or other cleaning wipes
“I am washing away self doubts and insecurities.”
Final Rinse
“All lingering negative energy is washed off of myself and down the drain.”
Skincare & Moisturizing
-# 🥄: face sheet mask
You can say more affirmations or use this to do glamor magic and/or protections!!
remember, this is just a cleanse so if you need to add protections afterwards please do so!
