A QUICK START GUIDE TO OWNING CRYSTALS!

Hi there! I've been interested in paganism for a while now but every time I try to look into it, I get totally overwhelmed! I was wondering if you could give me a basic rundown of what's out there, as in what types/religions are out there and any other newbie advice. Any resources you have with info would be great too! (ps i've been noticing a pull to the ocean lately so anything related to that would be amazing!)

It isn’t unusual to feel a bit overwhelmed when starting out. Just take a deep breath and meditate of what your reading and own research has drawn out for you.

Start a binder, this binder/notebook will possibly turn into your Book of Shadows (BoS), and will be your guide/dictionary for you. Put things in it that you’ve deemed important, or find interesting. Such as you having a pull to the sea. 

Types of Paganism are Wicca, Shamanism, Druidism, Native American practices, Fae, Celtic, Egyptian, Green Witch, Magick, and any other religion that is polytheistic (typically) or heavily dealing with nature and oneness with it.

My basic advice, is take all the research that you find important and write/print it out and place it in a binder of sorts. This will help tame the overwhelming feeling of it all.

Please stop trigger tagging with #epilepsy tw/cw/warning/etc.

I need every single person to understand how horrible tumblr’s tagging system is

I go into the tag for epilepsy and its all flashing lights. We can’t use our own tag because people without epilepsy fill it up with improper warnings.

Use ‘flashing’ in place of ‘epilepsy’ in your tags. You aren’t warning people of epileptics, you’re warning us of flashing lights. Please please tag properly. Epileptics say this endlessly and constantly and it’s ignored. You are risking lives by doing this.

Here’s proof of what I mean:

THIS POST IS 100% OKAY TO REBLOG, I ENCOURAGE PEOPLE WITHOUT EPILEPSY TO ESPECIALLY DO SO!

Welcome to Australia...

Where an already endangered species is on the brink of functional extinction...

Oh, and 500 million animals unique to this country have already lost their lives, upon homes that have been destoryed and lives lost of people as well...

I mean... we're only living in a literal inferno...

415 fires. Fuck are we dying...

Oh yeah and people are just fleeing to the damn ocean, you know?

Do you want to know what Hell on Earth looks like..?

Because there it is in all it's unfiltered, firey rage...

There it is... my home from space...

This is only the beginning. Our country has not only entered a new decade, it seems a new dawning era as well, because this flaming apocalypse doesn't show any sign of stopping any time soon.

And you know what saddens me? I've never seen Australian tragedies trending here on this website. I mean it's been going on for months and only now does it seem to really be getting recognized, even if it is only at #9.

And I'm going to be honest with you here - the internet, and media in general is so American centric, this website being no exception. You'd think that an entire continent being on fire for several months with devastating consequences would have more recognition, but no, it really doesn't. The most notes I've ever seen on a post about the Australian fires is at least a few thousand, and that's about it.

So just... please. If you can, with this post or any other post in regards to the fires going on down here, reblog. Because the only thing that should be spreading like wildfire, is a post about a burning country...

Couldn’t resist that bonus pic 😂

Inspired by that scene from Spirited Away where Haku remembers his real name

Bonus:

The Zodiac Signs as Pokémon Generation One & Explanation.

reblog to send your mutuals a hug. maybe just the thought is enough to cheer them up 🥺

Me too.

everyone around me underestimates how much i am willing to fight and argue for bucky barnes 

 he is my baby and if you call him a villain i will go steve rogers on your ass

Anyone who needs the answer to @nandamai’s question please see the comments. It’s a serious issue and one that could see AO3 taken off the internet if not adhered to.
