How Witchcraft Saved my Life ♥️
Witchcraft found me when I was 16 and completely lost….. I was a devoted christian for my whole life but couldn’t seem to understand the religion at all…. after studying it, I ended up deconstructing my own belief system by seeing the contradictions in the bible….. I also looked at the church and the people that were my examples of who christian’s should be. I never lost my faith in jesus, his teachings are a vital part of my day to day…. I also still have god in my heart, but not in the way most would think, I believe that god is a reflection of me, the trees, the wind…. I believe that when buildings become abandoned and nature takes its course so quickly because the lack of life in that space is God in my eyes. God is the universe placed in a term that is easier for us to comprehend. So, in this transition of beliefs I was probably in the worst spot i’ve ever been in, and so young too? I knew I needed to find a path that aligns with my beliefs and where I wanted to go…. I had always been intuitive, empathetic, and open minded, so when I saw spirituality I knew I needed to indulge myself in it further. Spirituality in turn led me to witchcraft…
Witchcraft gave me something back of mine that I lost in that period of my life a long time ago…. my sense of control. I found this path in the middle of getting diagnosed with my mental health issues…. so finding this path while getting slapped with things like Borderline Personality Disorder, Panic Disorder, PTSD, and OCD…. I knew I needed to grip onto it to stay focused and aligned in my process of getting medication I need and attempting to do DBT.
After I was put on a stable mental health plan, I had gotten removed from my home and was placed back in custody of my biological mother. I hadn’t lived with her for over 12 years at that point but I instantly knew this is what will save me from going down a negative path with addiction & my abusive relationship at the time, so I gladly moved in with her into her one bedroom apartment and walked to work to feed myself & her. I had to eventually drop out of high school when I had to focus on survival. In this moment, I was connecting deeply to my practice, my mother encouraged me to do readings for her and her best friend…. I ended up branching out and reading friends which was a huge hit…. My mother eventually got me my first tarot deck after going out with her best friend and her to get readings, this was when things shifted….
Reading nights, meditations with my mother, discussing abilities and exchanging stories about our experiences with the occult, come to find out that my family has always had psychic abilities running through our veins. I took that as a sign to be the one to carry out these abilities and be open about it to heal the generations before me. Using my voice as a witch was always important to me. In my first 2 years of my practice I studied, I did not perform spellwork, I was hesitant about other forms of divination besides tarot and wanted to know everything I could to make sure I do this right…. this focus saved me. I completely left my abusive relationship after learning about healing the sacral chakra and womb wounds…. I was pulled out of a state of doubt about my intelligence after having to drop out because I knew I was smart when research was my favorite thing to do, it reconstructed my view on myself and prepared me for the worst thing to ever happen to me….. I got sick. I was 19 years old and got SO sick, I couldn’t hold down jobs, I got fired from a cleaning company I adored working for, I had to start a cleaning business and abruptly stop because of my illnesses, and that eventually allowed me to bloom into my confidence and implement my ideas for the baked witch into action. This has led me to now. I wouldn’t want it to be any other way.
This practice means so much more to me than receiving desires and getting the outcomes I want. It is about gaining power over your mind, body, and spirit, and honoring parts of you that are good, bad, and beautiful. In the first picture I was 82 lbs, so beaten down by the word around me, I was underweight, addicted to self sabotage, and restless to find my purpose with no drive to go get it. In the next picture, I am in my most confident era, getting photoshoots done for my business that saved my life. I cannot stress enough to not hesitate towards joining this path. It is so worth it.

Witchcraft is often misunderstood, but it can serve as a powerful path towards self-discovery and healing. Many individuals, just like myself, have found that engaging with witchcraft practices—including tarot reading, meditation, and energy healing—helps align their mental and spiritual selves. Exploring the principles of witchcraft may lead to enhanced intuition and a deeper connection to the universe. Through rituals and routines, practitioners can gain a sense of control in their lives, which can be particularly beneficial for mental health. The act of casting spells isn't merely about wish fulfillment; it is a means of tapping into one's inner strength and agency. Additionally, the community surrounding witchcraft offers support and understanding, especially for those who have faced trauma or crises. Sharing stories and experiences can foster a sense of belonging and empowerment, allowing individuals to reclaim their narratives. As awareness of mental health issues grows, so too does the importance of finding methods—like spirituality and witchcraft—that promote healing. Ultimately, exploring witchcraft can not only illuminate the path to personal empowerment but also inspire others to embrace their unique spiritual journeys.
to the christian’s in the comments that WILL be getting deleted. this page is a safe space for WITCHES, you do not need to come in and tell me how to live on my page, and you sure as hell skipped over the part where I said jesus and god are STILL in my life. You have ZERO right to tell me that I am WRONG
