The little kitchen witchcraft joys:
When the noodles are meant to cook for 12 minutes, but you always make it 13, because 13 is your witchy lucky number. 😊

I would go a step further and declare that adults can have childlike fun on any day they choose and when it's convenient.
At least at home you can do all sorts of fun stuff, without others noticing (I mean strangers).
Feel like dancing around in your living room? Playing silly games? Dressing up in a funny way? Cuddling a plushie? Having a pillow fight with your loved ones or friends? Building a pillow fort? And I could go on.
All of that can be so healing or at least nice for your inner child.

"Hekate stands at the crossroads!
Let’s stop pretending this is complicated!
ICE is not about “law and order,” It is about fear, surveillance, family separation, and the state sanctioned erasure of human dignity. It is violence, white superiority, and is a by product of the hatred this country was founded on.
Hekate does not walk with systems like that!
Hekate is a goddess of thresholds, not borders. She is a guardian of the vulnerable, not an enforcer for the disgusting people in power. She stands with the exiled, the wandering, the unwanted, and the cast out not these men or the people that support them in the name of power.
If your version of Hekate is comfortable with detention camps, raids, and terrorized communities, then you are not honoring her you are domesticating her. She bends for no man!
Hekate has always been anti-tyranny!
Anti-state violence!
She is a torchbearer for those navigating darkness, not a protector for those creating it.
And let’s be clear: the current government enabling, expanding, and excusing ICE is complicit. Silence is not neutrality “I don’t mix politics and witchcraft” is a luxury afforded by privilege, a privilege I do not have.
You don’t get to invoke a goddess of justice, protection, and liminality while turning away from real people being harmed at the thresholds of this country.
Magic that does not confront oppression seems pointless to me. Devotion that refuses accountability is basically lip service.
Hekate asks us to be honest with ourselves even when it’s uncomfortable, and sometimes that honesty looks like saying: this system is wrong, and I will not sanctify it. I will not look away!
If you work with Hekate, then work against cruelty, against dehumanization and work against ICE.
Anything less isn’t devotion it’s avoidance."

Watched this video where a bunch of evangelicals come into a witchcraft store and I love how the owner explains to them that she isn't interested in their attempts of proselytism. She also asks them, "Have you heard about Aphrodite? Or Hekate? I think they are amazing deities and you could read something about them."
Later, she tells them to move onto the next location and that the conversation is over.
Found on Instagram.

“Any so called spiritual awakening that doesn’t result in solidarity with the vulnerable is an ego trip.”
Couldn’t agree more. Meanwhile plenty of spiritual self-proclaimed teachers and witches teach about self-optimization, or self-love, healing and such, while staying very, very silent on all the crises in our world.
I mean, of course I don’t expect everyone to talk about all the crises 24/7 and all day long (I don’t do that either)
... but at least a bit of that might go a long way.

Please note: This blog post is about spiritual/pagan/witchcraft/occult people. In order to shorten this, I sometimes just write „spiritual community“.

Thank you for sharing this wonderful poem. I didn't know about Mahmoud Darwish and looked up his Wikipedia page. Very interesting.

Nur als Hinweis, das Sonderregister kommt so erst mal nicht, siehe z.B.
https://www.fr.de/politik/pleite-fuer-dobrindt-queer-register-kommt-nicht-regierung-hat-kalte-fuesse-bekommen-93993207.html
Es kann aber nicht schaden, diese Petition dennoch mitzuzeichnen, da z.B. vor kurzem in BaWü diskutiert wurde, ob dort im Meldewesen frühere Namen (aka Deadnames) oder frühere Geschlechtseinträge eingetragen werden müssen.
