WitchTip: spirit-teaching can be a profound gift, but ensure it’s tempered with wisdom and your aesthetic - don’t just do anything they say

So who is telling you can or can’t do something? I fail to see it in any of the comments. Secondly, someone from a specific culture sharing how to do a sacred ceremony to someone outside of their culture is their choice. Your friends were cool with that, good for you.

sebulas replied to your post: It’s My Opinion…
I agree completely. It is not our job to tell someone what is right and wrong. If we are knowledgeable about a subject, we would do the asker a greater service by fully educating them about the hows, the whys, the positives, the negatives.

It's My Opinion...
… but I am highly irked when witches/pagans/etc make an executive decision over which complete strange is and isn’t ready for information on topics they are uncomfortable with.
How hard is it to say, “I don’t do X because I don’t like it but here’s this tumblr blog/source/wiki page that will give you more details”? Or open up the question for followers to...

Wicca versus witchcraft
crowdog66:
I’m feeling rather tired today, so this will be a pretty short entry.
There’s a common misconception (fostered by a whole lot of Llewellyn Press books) that the terms “Wicca” and “witchcraft” are interchangeable. Well, folks, it just ain’t so.
Wicca is a religion founded in the 1940s by Gerald Gardner, in which most members (aside from the ritual and theological traits of the...

Ah, but modern weapons! Who wins? The one with a gun.
Actually, it’s whoever uses said weapons who wins. Or maybe the one who hurls the best curses.

Anonymous asked: When I was a kid, my (Christian) mom used to tell me to bless people who hurt me, because God would see my charitable thoughts and curse the undeserving person I was directing them towards. Now that I'm more or less an adult, I find this idea incredibly disturbing on multiple levels. I was kind of wondering what you, as a witch, would think of it.

Anonymous asked: I've seen a lot of anger about cultural appropriation lately (mostly towards pagan-paths today?)

Dear Knitters,
Yes, you’re pretty and cute. Now would you please stop filling the product images posted on Ravelry with your face and show off the finished knitting instead? Wrapping and folding a 55” shawl into a 3” band around your neck is not going to show us how talented you are at knitting, or how delightful the pattern is.
Sincerely, A Frustrated Knitter
Taking ideas on what to embroider because sewing gave me a migraine and my wrists need a break from crocheting.
Actually I know what I want to embroider but I don’t have the right material for that right now so now I’m taking alternatives.

I recently did my first craft fair. And at that craft fair, one woman picked up every one of my hats, tried them on, and made a sort of a noise in the back of her throat indicating disgust. Then she muttered, “I don’t really like these hats” before looking at the price tag for one of them and looking at me over her glasses: “Do you really charge this much?”
