Possible Signs Of Mental Illness/Neurodivergence In A World With Dæmons

the only bella coronavirus au’s I will accept are the ones where bella realizes the politicians of the country would let a million people die in the streets as long as the rich got theirs and subsequently convinces the cullens to eat the rich. no i will not be accepting criticisms at this time

✨ How To Wake Witchblr ✨

We’ve all seen the hashtag #wakingwitchblr or the term itself at one point. Still, I found that there’s a lack of info on what you can actually do to make witchblr more active. 

So I took it upon myself to create a list of things that anyone can do to revive our amazing community! Enjoy !

1) Don’t Like, Reblog instead 📣

There’s nothing inherently wrong with liking a post, it’s just that due to how Tumblr works, liking a post does virtually nothing. Reblogging, however, lets that post be seen by more and more people. The surefire way to revive witchblr is by reblogging as many witchy posts as you can. 

But what if some posts just doesn’t fit into your blog’s theme, even though you want to support it? Well, you have a couple options:

Reblog anyway. Diversifying your posts actually makes your blog more interesting. You can always tag it as ‘off-topic’ if the different theme bothers you that much.

Create a reblog/spam account! I have one and it is so simple. The post may not gain as much traction compared to if you RB-ed in your main blog, but trust me when I say a single reblog goes a long way.

Share it on other social media. See that arrow-like button down there? Click it and you can share the post anywhere. Send it to your witchy discord servers or your insta groupchat !

 2) Get off the ‘Top’ page. Go to ‘Recent’ 💌

AKA reblog from lesser-known bloggers.

Not only will you support fellow witches creating content, this also give you a chance to talk to them and find your place within Witchblr! Which brings me to my next point…

3) Interact with The Community 💬

If I’m a witch who wants to move away from Tumblr, there will be only one thing that can stop me, and that’s the friends and connections that I’ve made here.

Join online covens and discord servers, ask your witchstagram and witchtok friends for their tumblr url, and just have fun together. 

Interacting with other witches, making friends, even just giving compliments or advices. This is what makes us a community. It’s what makes us stay here. If we don’t interact with each other, than we’re just a bunch of people who likes the same thing without any connection. That’s not witchblr.

4) Diversify Your Tags 🎪

There is a kind of… exclusivity, when you look through the hashtags of witchy posts. Witches only ever tag with “witchblr”, “witchcraft”, and “magick”.

This creates an accurate, non-spammy post, but it is also a post that will only show up on other witches’ dashboard and no one else’s. The community will never grow in this way because there will be no new people finding the community. It’s just an echo chamber.

Instead, diversify your tags. I’m not telling you to tag your ritual oil with ‘cars for sale’, but if you made a travel altar yourself, there’s nothing wrong in tagging it #crafting, #diy, #handmade, etc. 

Non-witches will then find the post and potentially become interested in the community, thus making it grow.

5) Make Original Content 🔮

Original content is the backbone of any community, and witchblr is dying because we’re not producing any. So if you want to revive witchblr, make content of your own.

No, it doesn’t have to be well thought-out. Heck, it doesn’t even have to be good. Original content can be anything! It can be you posting about a witchy thing that happened. It can be your drawing, or a picture you took. It could even be memes???

Or it could be a ‘how to wake witchblr’ post that you wrote because you have a script due 3 weeks ago and somehow this is your idea of procrastination

The point is: just click that ‘Make a Post’ button, and make a freaking post !

6) Share This, and Add Your Own Tips! 🖤

Now that you know these, it’s time to let other people know too ! I put a lot of thoughts into this post, but I have to admit that these tips will only work if everyone in the community is doing it. 

If you have other tips or ways to make Witchblr more active, feel free to reblog with your own addition too.

I love this community, and if you’re reading this post I’m sure you do as well. It’s not gonna happen overnight, but I know that we can be as active as we used to be. We’ve got the heart, we just need the action.

yeah ❤️

In honor of His Dark Materials coming out today/tomorrow, and finding out that the writers were playing DnD during production, here are my home brew rules for adding Daemons to a campaign for 5th Edition DnD.

(Feedback is welcome but this is my first home brew so please be gentle)

Religious Daemon Headcanons pt 1

*All the respect, of course. No offense is meant to anyone. This was just me pondering how daemons might work in various religious traditions, completely fictional*

During Catholic masses, daemons tend to be quiet and respectful. They are careful not to make too much movement, too many sounds, or draw too much attention to themselves. Some daemons that are small enough prefer to stay ON their person, while others remain next to them. Larger daemons often rest on the outsides of the pews, while bird daemons will perch above.

Muslim daemons pray salah with their humans. They receive their own separate prayer mats. No matter their form, as best as they can muster, they will perform prostration and bow in the direction of the Kaaba.  

Angels don’t have daemons, but jinn do.

A daemon knows as much Quran as their respective human. If the human is a Hafiz, the daemon is also considered one by both humans and daemons.

During kirtan in various traditions, daemons will sing alongside their humans, rather than staying silent. This is a contrast to some mass services, where only some daemons may choose to speak during the expected portions. More ecstatic forms of worship such as those found in Evangelical traditions also hold a significant amount of daemon vocality/activity within them.

There are some daemon form symbolisms that tend to carry on in each individual tradition. In Christianity, snake daemons may often invoke feelings of anxiety/apprehension in others. In Judaism and Islam, pigs may also be considered in the same way. Not as inherently “negative”, but connected to more stereotypes. Similarly, positive animals may be seen more favorably. For example, doves and lions in Christianity and cats in Islam.

In Hinduism, it is especially auspicious if you have certain daemons that are associated with one’s respective deity. For example, Calfs/cows for Krishna. There are numerous holidays revolving around the celebration of ones daemon. Just as humans have coming of age rituals, the daemons parents will often also celebrate the daemons respective rituals if they are involved.

Although daemon settling can happen at any point through ones teenage years, it is often expected for Jewish boys and girls to settle around their bar and bat mitzvah. It may not always happen, but there is an association between them. The same can be said for Confirmation, which often happens during high school.

There is no consensus on Jesus’ daemon (or Mary’s). Different scripture in the New Testament remembers his daemon differently. A lion, a pelican, a dove, a lamb. It could be, perhaps, that his daemon never settled at all. In Islam, all prophets are thought to have had never settling daemons, a reflection of their protection from sin and failure by Allah (swt).

There ARE cases of daemons differing in religious opinions than their human. The two are not always in sync with one another, and can feel differently. This is often a reflection of the persons own internal struggle. 

will eventually have more, just had what was off the top of my head. 

My ocean altar💙 on my life, my mama said “jingle shells are wish shells” and I stood in the ocean and made a wish for our current house and threw the jingle shell to the sea. She needs more work and I want to get an ocean sign or something to hang above it but I love it. So blessed and thankful and in shock still.
