✨ Love and Light Can Burn You Out: The Witch’s Guide to Spiritual Bypassing ✨

Image
You can’t “high vibe” your way out of burnout. You can’t smudge away systemic oppression or positive-think your trauma into oblivion. You can’t light enough candles or chant enough mantras to make reality less… real. If you’ve ever been told to “just send love to it” or “raise your vibration” when your soul is dragging itself through the mud—you’ve met spiritual bypassing . And if you’re not careful? It’ll burn you out faster than any hex could. 💀 What the Hell is Spiritual Bypassing? Spiritual bypassing is when we use spiritual practices or beliefs to dodge the hard, messy, painful stuff we don’t want to face. It’s pretending we’re above anger, grief, or fear. It’s slapping a “love and light” sticker over a cracked foundation and hoping no one notices it’s falling apart. In witchy spaces, it can look like: “Everything happens for a reason.” “Good vibes only.” “You just need to align your energy.” “Manifest it—don’t dwell on it.” And while these ideas might sound h...

Self-Help is a Scam (and Other Spells They Don’t Want You to Know) - The dark side of self-help no one talks about.

Image
Let me guess. You tried the journal prompts. You made a vision board. You “manifested” like your rent depended on it (because it did). You even forgave your emotionally unavailable ex in the name of vibrational alignment. And still… here you are. Exhausted. Ashamed. Broke. And wondering if maybe you are the problem. You’re not. The problem is self-help culture —and I’m about to hex it lovingly into the dirt. 🔮 Let’s Start With the Obvious: It’s a Business, Not a Blessing The self-help industry is a $13 billion goldmine built on your belief that you’re broken. And it thrives by: Selling you the illusion of progress Making your trauma a personal branding opportunity Gaslighting you into thinking you just need one more program to finally heal It’s capitalism in a cauldron, baby—and they’ve got incense to cover the smell. 🔁 What They Don’t Tell You ✖ Healing isn’t linear. But they’ll sell it to you like a ladder, with each rung labeled $497. ✖ Growth...

Transmission from the Glitchstream – File 006: How to Be a Creative Witch in the Age of Doomscrolling

 The algorithm is not your muse. It’s a hungry little god that feeds on your exhaustion. And baby, it’s  starving . Every day, we open glowing rectangles and hand over our energy like sacrificial offerings. Scroll. React. Absorb. Compare. Despair. Repeat. They call it connection. We call it “keeping up.” But really? It’s quiet digital possession. And for those of us who are witches, artists, empaths, creators, chaos-seekers? It’s soul-leaking. Our magic  needs mystery . Our creativity  needs space . And none of that survives the rapid-fire assault of doomscrolling, trauma-bait, hustle culture, or influencer ritual cosplay. (You know the kind—hashtag witchy, but sponsored by burnout.) So how do we reclaim it? How do we cast in a world of constant distraction? First: Recognize the enchantment. Doomscrolling  is  a spell. A powerful one. It lulls you. Drains you. It binds your attention and feeds off your outrage. It’s not weakness that traps you—it’s design. ...

🕷 The Spell Isn’t Broken—You Just Got Distracted: ADHD Witchcraft 101

Image
Let’s be honest. You had intentions . You cleansed the space. You lit the candle. You said the words. And then… halfway through anointing your candle, you remembered you left laundry in the washer three days ago, walked away from your altar, and never came back. Congrats—you’re not cursed. You’re just neurodivergent . ⚡ The Real Magic Is in the Mess ADHD + witchcraft is a vibe. A chaotic , slightly smudged vibe—but still a sacred one. Traditional witchcraft often assumes you’ve got: A clean altar A full moon ritual planned three weeks in advance An attention span longer than a TikTok You do not. And guess what? You don’t need to. 🧠 Why the ADHD Brain Is Actually Witchy AF Hyperfocus = Spellcasting Trance When you’re in it , you’re IN IT. You could craft an entire shadow spell while forgetting your body exists. Pattern Recognition = Divination Mastery You notice the weird connections. You see signs in sidewalk cracks. You’re practically an or...

When Healing Feels Like Bullsh*t: Let’s Talk Rage, Not Reiki

Image
You lit the candle. You journaled. You said the affirmations until your throat dried up. You even let yourself sob under the moonlight like some kind of tragic indie film protagonist. But you’re still mad as hell . And if one more well-meaning crystal slinger tells you to “release it with love,” you might hex their chakra chart into next week. 🖤 When Healing Feels Fake Let’s name it: sometimes healing feels like performance art. You’re repeating mantras you don’t believe Trying to forgive people who’ve never been sorry And repressing anger because “high vibes only” is trending This isn’t healing—it’s emotional contortion . And it’s exhausting. 🔥 Anger Is Not the Enemy In many spiritual spaces, anger is treated like mold—unwanted, toxic, and something you should “clear.” Bullshit. Anger is sacred. Anger is the flare your nervous system lights when something is not okay . It’s not a weakness. It’s a spell screaming, “Something needs to change.” Suppress...

When the Screams Get Stuck in the Throat: The PDF Isn’t Late—It’s Just Refusing to Participate in the Capitalist Lie of Urgency

Image
—A witchy interruption, a middle finger to burnout culture, and a PSA from the screaming void. You were expecting a shiny new PDF today, weren’t you? A fresh little bundle of shadow work, lovingly stitched together for your weekly descent into the emotional trenches? Yeah. So was I. Instead, what I got was a cursed design session that chewed through my spoons like a possessed paper shredder. Fonts misbehaving. Layouts gaslighting me. Entire pages vanishing like interns during Mercury retrograde. And after the seventh round of screaming into the design abyss, I had a choice to make: Ruin myself trying to meet a self-imposed deadline… or hex the whole schedule and walk away with my spine intact. Guess which one I picked. 🖤 Not a Flake. Not a Failure. Just Feral Priorities. Let me say this once, loud enough for the burned out witches in t...

The Trigger Isn’t the Threat: A Witch Wound Reflection - Week Two – Safety & Sabotage

Image
Ever been told you’re too sensitive or too reactive —when all you did was name the thing no one else wanted to look at? That’s not drama. That’s clarity. But clarity makes cowards squirm. And when they flinch, they frame you as the threat. Let’s talk about the witch wound that hides behind “being nice” and “keeping the peace.” It’s not actually peace if you have to disappear to keep it. They didn’t teach you safety. They taught you to be agreeable enough to survive discomfort you didn’t cause. You weren’t loud—you were clear . You weren’t sabotaging—you were surviving . You weren’t broken—you were bending around other people’s fear . But here’s the truth, beloved wild thing: 🧨 You’re not the threat. You’re the spark. The flare. The damn signal fire. And they didn’t like what that light revealed—so they told you to dim it. And you? You internalized it. You learned to shrink. To soften. To pre-apologize. This week’s Ko-fi prompts are for the version of yo...
