#WitchMadness2026 #WitchMadness #WitchMadness26 --- LAST DAY
If lightning struck through you tomorrow, what would change?
My partner knew a man who was struck by ⚡ multiple times. He said it affected him the same way a psychedelic trip gone 'wrong' leaves someone. A descent into 'madness'. ⬇️1️⃣
#WitchMadness #WitchMadness26
If your tarot deck could read you publicly, what would it expose?
Someone who has been through quite a lot, but persevered anyway.
A hermit full of big thoughts and ideas about the world.
#WitchMadness2026 #WitchMadness #WitchMadness26 --- Day 30
How does your craft support liberation?
Psychedelic education & advocacy...
'nuff said.
'Tis my mission to help people see the truth behind the 'war on drugs'. They don't want you finding a plant ally 'cause they don't want you healthy. 🤷♂️
#WitchMadness #WitchMadness26
What responsibility scares you most?
Being a teacher. My brain is all over the place most of the time, and I don't have the focus to figure out what approaches and materials are appropriate for new witches wanting to learn.
I just share stuff willy-nilly and hope ..🧵
#WitchMadness2026 #WitchMadness #WitchMadness26 --- Day 29
What does courage feel like in your body?
I sympathize with @gnome-and-tonic.bsky.social in wondering what this ? is asking. I'm also autistic & know1️⃣ing what emotions feel like in my body is HARD. So, I'm going about this using logic ⬇️
#WitchMadness #WitchMadness26
How does burnout distort your perception?
I suffer from this pretty regularly. You're mentally and physically exhausted to the point it feels like everything and everyone sucks. The negativity is a leech that sucks away your will to do anything remotely productive..🧵
#WitchMadness #WitchMadness26
What would dismantling ego look like in your craft?
This is a tough one to answer.
I have experienced ego dissolution, but it required the assistance of certain substances.
This is the path of the psychonaut, using meditation techniques and certain substances..🧵
#WitchMadness2026 #WitchMadness #WitchMadness26 --- Day 28
Where are you being called to act?
I know I'm meant to begin volunteer work of some kind. I'm just not sure with what organization. I was certain it was going to be with Recovering From Religion, but the more I attend their talks ⬇️1️⃣
#WitchMadness2026 #WitchMadness #WitchMadness26 --- Day 27
What promise are you making to your community this year?
That there will be a community. Ha! I've been on/off the internet for years. I've built communities in various industries & then ghosted them. This is the one I shall stick with.
Now I pull this card consistently 🙃 which is VERY silly lol
But the balance between that shadow and the upright? I guess? Lol version of this archetype guides my practice, my decisions, and everything I do. Even though I hated it 😂😂😂

#WitcgMadness #WitchMadness26
What shadow archetype stalks your practice?
I had to do some digging about this one, but what I came up with is the Shadow Sage.
I have a tendency to be hyper critical and have a tendency towards perfectionism that cuts me off socially from other people. I...🧵

What does ethical leadership look like in a coven?
I've already established that I'm not a coven type of witch. But, I've still got an answer to this ❓
CONSENT.
Person[s] who study POWER DYNAMICS [inside & out].
'Check & Balance' system.
#WitchMadness2026 #WitchMadness #WitchMadness26 --- Day 25
How do you share knowledge without hoarding power?
Simple...
Knowledge doesn't 'belong' to any particular person or group. ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS cite sources. And, NEVER consider oneself 'superior' for knowing things that others don't.
#WitchMadness #WitchMadness26
Have you romanticized persecution narratives?
No.
It's easy to lose yourself in sympathizing for people who have been persecuted for witchcraft, but what I feel more is disgust against those who chose to destroy innocent lives.
Weak-minded ignorant people..🧵
#WitchMadness #WitchMadness26
How do you handle spiritual authority?
It depends on the person.
Discernment is pretty key in determining who to consider an 'authority' on any subject, including spirituality.
If a person claims to have secret knowledge no one else does, they're generally full...🧵

[skipped a few days --- took a 'lil trip]
What does collective magic look like in action?
Unhoused people being fed & clothed. Mutual aid requests being shared until they're fully funded. Humans helping other humans.
#WitchMadness #WitchMadness26
What does collective magic look like in action?
Many things. I participated in a couple group chaos magick rituals in the past with #ProjektSolarSigil and #ProjektLunarSigil
Sigils were created with specific goals in mind, charged and fired off however the...🧵
#WitchMadness #WitchMadness26
What is my biggest insecurity about calling yourself a witch?
If any of y'all met me face to face, I have the energy of a fucking goofy goober, coming off younger than my actual age.
Just goobering it up, off in my own dream world half the time
Aloof.

Have you stayed silent because speaking would cost you followers?
Nah, not really. I share my opinions pretty freely. The number of followers I have is nice, but I'm not looking at numbers.
I'm not here to please people.
#WitchMadness #WitchMadness26
What part of your identity feels unsafe to bring into your practice?
Why?
There is a part of me that truly does not like humanity and how we've treated each other historically.
History is bathed in blood and exploitation.
This said, I try to be selective about ..🧵
#WitchMadness2026 #WitchMadness #WitchMadness26 --- Day 20
What boundaries are you strengthening this year?
Relational & time.
In my relationships [which are few & far between], I'm working to recognize where my feelings/opinions/beliefs/etc. stop & theirs begin.
In time, I'm working ⬇️1️⃣
Get it!

What (tarot) card(s) do you secretly resist pulling? Why?
The 8 and 10 of swords are rather unpleasant to draw. They represent entrapment/stagnation and defeat/ inevitable ends.
It is difficult to accept defeat and stagnation when one is invested in a purpose..🧵
#WitchMadness2026 #WitchMadness #WitchMadness26 --- Day 19
How do you respond when someone weaponizes 'balance' to avoid action?
I don't come across this because my practice is sovereign. If I weaponize it against my own pursuits, I employ discernment. Am I resisting? Or, do I need reevaluation?
Aries does not wait for perfect conditions. Aries bulldozes. Aries strikes the match. So what is your first move? Comment it. Claim it. Do not flirt with your own power and then ghost yourself.

Alright #WitchFriends, as we approach the Moons ingress into Aries... Enough drifting. Enough circling. Enough feeling around the edges of the thing. The Moon is preparing to cross out of the deep & into fire.

What part of witchcraft do you avoid because it demands discipline?
I am really bad about writing down things.
I have developed a preference for writing down useful information for use in spellwork; similar to a reference book vs actual spells cast.
