Weird esoteric bullshit

I wouldn’t call myself a religious person. While I believe there’s deities out there, I prefer respect over worship. A lot of my spiritual practices are to help me make sense of myself, and to navigate daily life. They mainly revolve around hedge witchery and otherkin. There’s also soulbonds, but I ramble about them in a different shrine.

Before we dive in...

I appreciate any concerns you might have about my well-being, given my ridiculous beliefs. That being said, I know what I'm doing. Obviously I'm not perfect, but I can put all this aside when I need to.

Anyway, if anything I talk about here resonates with you, I suggest you look into the warning signs of spiritual psychosis and cults, before you adopt any practices. Keep yourself safe out there.

Witchcraft

I personally got into witchcraft after a little spiritual awakening in 2023, which mainly surrounded past lives. Other than that, I don’t think witchcraft runs in my family. Then again, I’m not well-connected with my blood relatives, so maybe I’m wrong.

My magic is rooted in what I make with my own two hands. There’s a handful of little rituals I try to stick to, but not many. I try to find spells that double as recipes. I stitch sigils into patches and clothes. One of my writing projects is a memoir of past life memories. I dabble in crystal work, but it’s mostly an excuse to have shiny rocks on my altar. Herbs are a lot easier for me to work with than crystals. Mainly because I can eat them.

Spiritual fictionkin

“Do you kin Nagito Komeda?” No, but I am kin with Killer Bean, which is objectively a lot funnier.

For those unfamiliar with the concept of otherkin, here’s a quick rundown. It’s identifying with someone/something that “isn’t yourself”. Such as an animal, or a mythical creature, or a fictional character. There’s varying interpretations of otherkin, not all of which revolve around past lives. I'm no historian on the subject, so if you want more details on otherkin's history, you're on your own. Otherkin is an involuntary identity. I don't get to pick and choose who I'm kin with. If you're willingly choosing to kin someone/something, that's typically what we call "kin-for-fun".

”Okay you pedantic fuck, who are you kin with?”

I’m not going to list ALL of them, for many reasons. Ranging from “this life STAYS in the past” to “there are people who would digitally crucify me for this”. Plus, there’s just a LOT of kintypes to list. Anyway, here’s the ones I’m willing to reference publicly, all together in a cursed blunt rotation:

For the record, the background counts. Not the Backrooms, to be clear, but the background counts. I’ll leave it at that. I also forgot to add Killer Bean and I'm too lazy to go back and change it.

You might think that I tie reincarnation to some grander purpose. While I've got nothing against people who do, the idea just isn't for me. I believe in reincarnation for it's own sake, as a natural part of life and death. I'm also not a fan of the idea that life is a prison to be escaped. It's not. There is no end to the cycle, and that's a good thing. The joys are just as indescribable as the horrors.

Alright now you’ve got the rundown on some of my lunacy, yippee.
