OH hi, this isn't as dramatic as the title implies. Nice to meet you I'm Witchthief. I used to be active on other witch subs but life happens. A good friend of mine invited me over here, so merry met to all my fellow witches.
It's been interesting watching my craft evolve over the past couple of years. Every day I learn a little more about it. One thing we have started doing in my house hold is replacing the phrase "Bless you" with "Pazuzu" when someone sneezes. It's been nice, not being as tied to something associated with a different religious superstition.
The reason we use "Pazuzu" has to do with his story, it's one of the oldest stories in the world. I'll probably tell it here at some point, but the gist is this. Pazuzu is a very scary, very ugly demon. He was used by the ancient sumerians to ward off other demons. In sumerian the phrase "Zuzu" or "Pazuzu" was used as a "Begone evil spirits" supersticion.
"Zuzu", as a phrase has made it's way through a lot of languages. Bo3-Bo3 (Bwa'-Bwah) in egypt, Fufu in ugarit, and Phobu in greek. Another story I can tell another day. So if you're looking for a term to say instead of "bless you" try invoking an ancient demon of murder, slaughter, violence, good parenting (Yes really), Protecting children (YES really), and grandpa energy.
Yup, that should do it as a thing about witchcraft. Anyway, nice to meet you. I'm your local death-witch, Ereshkigal and Ishtar worshiping, Cuneiform reading, ceremonial-ritualistic, mildly unhinged, knower of ancient secrets and I can't wait to get to know you all better.
I want to thank everyone for assisting me here. I finally have a place of my own, they love me at my job and be,I've me. My coworkers are very encouraging. One even gave me a kuerig for my small studio apartment. Now I just need a bedframe and to get it cat here. Overall I love Seattle. I'm no longer limited by lack of transpo. I also don't mind the constant rain. I stepped in a couple puddles of water in the streets today to get back to my studio and didn't care it made my feet wet.
I just did my FET for my IVF a week ago and I know the Sunday spell didn't get done last week and I just got on after work and I see it's already closed.
Not that I had a request this time...
I'm putting this out a few days in advance, we haven't even had Halloween yet, but the veil thins as October concludes and November opens with a brilliant New Moon at 9 degrees, 35 minutes of Scorpio and immediately conjuncts the Scorpio Sun at an identical degree. Welcome to Scorpio season!
While Scorpio season is always a trip to the underworld, it kicks off with a real party this year. The Chandra Symbol for this transit is breathtakingly powerful:
SCORPIO 10: On a human nose a wart that turns into a diamond.
Destructive patterns come around to regenerative places when they are persisted in tenaciously, yet with an eye toward the destructive patterns destroying themselves. Immense wells of misery have accompanied you through the miasmas of [the world] being viciously against yourself. And when the misery and the hatred have spent their wastage and their fury, the inner-core self arises unscathed, and incorporates the darkness and the anguish into the ability to raise the dead, to generate miracles, to face everybody with the unfaceable. The veteran of severe internal battles turns around and acknowledges that there is something burning at the center of your being, an essence spark which is immortal and can survive and flourish in the thick of the worst, your own veiled yet potent inner light guiding the journey and never flickering. -- Inside Degrees, Elias Lonsdale
(The Chandra Symbols always round up, so 9*35'rounds up to Scorpio 10.)
For those of us who are Plutonic (meaning you have a chart or placements influenced by Pluto), you will really, really feel this. And how would you know if you're Plutonic? if you have strong Pluto influences in your chart, or if you have strong Scorpio placements (ruled by Pluto), this will be your season. Pluto rules death and rebirth and this Chandra symbol speaks so eloquently to it: we have been through the firestorm, through the hell years of Pluto in Capricorn (2008-2024), and this may well be the finale, where all the destruction wrought by these years, the well of misery, the hatred and the fury, finally consume themselves, as the Plutonic fire burns everything, including those who are stoking it. Look to your own worldview to see the temperature rising to a crescendo as all the parties fan the flames in their seething fury. As above, so below.
A very wise teacher right here in our community taught me things have to get worse, before they reach the tipping point to get better. Let's just hope that this is the turning point where the storm finally breaks: and apart from hope, there's also signs in the stars: Pluto has already gone direct and will be exiting Capricorn later this month (I'll save that for another post). Even the symbol is hopeful: "The veteran of severe internal battles turns around and acknowledges that there is something burning at the center of your being, an essence spark which is immortal and can survive and flourish in the thick of the worst, your own veiled yet potent inner light guiding the journey and never flickering."
I hope so too, for we have truly, truly been through the mill: For those of us who weren't lucky enough to live charmed lives, oblivious and unaffected, there are no words sufficient to describe all that we have seen. We are born under a specific chart to learn specific lessons, and what a hell of a lesson this has been. They always tell me that Pluto is the planet of rebirth too, so I hope that this is the turning point that brings about the rebirth we desperately need.
My favorite astrology teacher has mentioned that this is a season to grieve our losses, and my own personal journey with grief has taught me that unacknowledged grief festers like an infection that will ultimately kill us. It is better to look at the grief, to feel it, to transmute it, as Eckhart Tolle describes it, the sustained light of our Presence (attention) transmutes the pain into more Presence. We have all seen much these long last years, there will be plenty of inner work to do. I'll leave you to yours, as I do mine. This is our preparation for the rebirth: we need to acknowledge our losses, painful as they are, so we can draw out the salt and the gold from the ashes that remain: the essence of what has been purified, what cannot be burned by the flames, so that we can begin again, hopefully under friendlier stars and skies.
New moon is exact at 05:47 PDT.
Waning Moon, for those that follow that. New moon in about 5 days.

Hi, All! I hope all of you have a meaningful Samhain! Like Selena Fox, founder of Circle Sanctuary says in her podcast, I plan to have a Samhain season lasting over the course of several days. I’ll go over my final instructions paperwork, do a reading of cards and runes, have a ritual and more. I hope your Samhain is blessed!
Hello to everyone who reads… I was referred to this sub from someone in the r/paranormal sub. I shared an encounter I had about 3 years ago at my old apartment. I woke up because I sensed something in my room, as I came to, I noticed what looked like two young girls (about the age of 11-12) singing and giggling at the foot of my bed. They were chanting like a spell over me and giggling. But it didn’t sound like sinister laughter. Nor did it sound ghostly. Throughout this time I felt very euphoric and calm. But almost as soon as I began to wake, I could hear them start to shh each other. It was like they could sense I was waking and they knew they had to be quiet cuz they had been too loud. Normally, I would have NOPED tf out of there but I remember just looking at them, a bit confused what they were chanting cuz it was in another language. And why were they laughing? They seemed just as curious about me as I was about them. I remember being a little spooked but only because I was raised a Christian and anything supernatural you’re trained to believe is demonic, yet I’ve felt demonic entities before and you can always sense the energy shift, and it’s always heavy and predatory. This was nothing like that, it was the polar opposite. So I just shrugged them off and went back to sleep cuz I remember feeling safe like I was in a cocoon. And I have to emphasize how important that detail is, because I’m a scardy cat, I normally don’t see things (I’ve seen a shadow figure once as a child, and have sensed energy shifts a handful of times but that’s it.) I am psychic and would describe my gifts as clairsentient. I can predict things and I’m starting to have prophetic dreams. But I generally DO NOT see things and like to keep it that way cuz I couldn’t handle that shit lmao. So for me to just shrug them off and go back to sleep, like it’s nothing, that’s so not like me! Anyway, I haven’t seen them since, but the memory has never quite left me.
People in the paranormal sub have suggested they are fairies/fae. Which is odd to me cuz not once have I ever considered them to be real, let alone something I’d believe in since I don’t have Celtic blood (I’m black). So I’m kinda like what the heck did they want? What was this that I experienced? Someone suggested it may be an invitation to work with them, but how?
Idk any thoughts, advice or insight would be super helpful. Thanks !
Also, this cat adopted me today. I think my boys sent her to me
I have a basic understanding of this symbol because some years back a group of Witches and one pretty well known Priestess needed a grounder in their circle. I’ve always practiced alone but this one time I wanted to experience a group I felt I needed a coven. During the ritual was told that I could be put under so I did it. I was aware but definitely seeing things. When I came back I told the priestess what I saw and everything was explained to me except the part about the Triskelion. I was standing on it and it was glowing like the sun and spinning under my feet. Each of its three spiel parts were spinning while the symbol itself was spinning as a whole. The faster it spun the more it would glow. When I explained this to them not one of them could tell me what it meant. Not even the priestess. I was wondering if anyone can tell me what it means or what you think it means. It’s plagued me for almost 20 years. Sometimes I have dreams about it. Any ideas? FYI: at the time I’ve never seen a symbol like that or even heard of a Triskelion.
I added a wish on Wednesday for a sweet, bumbling, special needs pup to go to a good home. His perfect fit was found almost immediately. Thank you to everyone who lent their energy and love to this wish 💕
This could be my imposter syndrome but I’ve been practicing for about 20 years. But there are swaths of times that I feel like a girl playing witch. I’ve seen my spells work, I’ve felt them, I know the deities I work with are really there. But I feel like a fake.
Hi. I'm just wondering if anyone leaves offerings, particularly for the Fae/ Others? Not on our Altars, but in nature. At the moment, I take apples to my favourite trees, and water in summer. Little gemstones or no grow seeds. On each Samhain, my grandmother used to take a bowl of milk and a jar of honey into the woods for the Fae folk ( a family tradition, she was Irish) This year, I'd like to do the same or similar. There is a beautiful piece of woodland near where I walk my dogs and it feels like such a special area. I'd love to take gifts this year and I'm looking for inspiration and for ideas that won't hurt the environment. Thank you and just to add, I think you're all wonderful ❤️
Something I had asked for in the Sunday Spell has become a reality for me. I am really excited because it is an amazing opportunity that I am now a part of. So thank you so much, ALL OF US, for this magic we all weave together. And a huge special thank you to our ElderWitch for making this all exist! This energy we have is a real thing!!
Do you appeal to gods of witchcraft or magic to bless your work, to make things happen? Like Pan, Enki, or on the goddess side, Hecate, or others? What have your experiences or UPG been working with them?
I've had a very rough time in a material sense of late, and made a prayer addressed to "right hand path gods" for help. Enki was one who responded, though he's of a pantheon I was not into previously. I felt very strong energy, and that he would help but wanted to be my only god. There's not much about him online and what there is has a lot of disagreement about who he really was/is.
Can Tarot be of help seeing what would happen if you followed a particular god? Can you ask the cards more than once, if your understanding changes? This last time I asked, I got positive cards for Enki (Magician, 2 of Cups, Strength). The first time I'd pulled 3 of Swords, after initially reading some negative things online. Perhaps I should ask different decks...
Anyway, any thoughts...?
