🔮Witchy Ways To Celebrate September🔮

• This is a good time for protection spells, bringing security and balance in all things; returning to the Earth.
• Decorate your home and altar with seed heads, berries, and fallen autumn leaves. Burn cinnamon and sage incenses and use orange and red flowers in your decoration. A set of scales or weights can also be used to signify the time of balance.
• Work with trees in September(all the time). Collection acorns and make simple garlands to hang in the trees as offerings.
• Cook with autumn berries or fruits that I listed previously! Start to make simple soups to celebrate autumn bounty and the change in season. I’ll personally be posting more recipes soon!
• Leave offerings for the spirits of the hedgegrow or your harvest gods to thank them for their bounty.

Tumblr @staff have been silent about the use of this site by white nationalist bloggers, while numerous other sites (see this post) have made actions to ban nazis/white nationalists/”alt-right”/fascists. Tumblr needs to know their lack of action is unacceptable. I love my tumblr community and want to stay, but if this continues, I will have to considering leaving.

I suggest we push back, and unite to boycott on a certain date. I’m arbitrarily suggesting September 1st – it’s nine days from this post, and that gives it enough time to hopefully get spread as far as possible. Boycotts only work if lots of people do it. Please consider joining me and logging off tumblr on September 1st, to let them know we’re serious about their apathy towards white nationalism.

Harvey Recovery

Hey folks, as some of you may know I live in a small, impoverished coastal town off of Galveston Bay. Our poverty rate is 71% below the national average, to give you an idea of how bad it is. A lot of the homes here are mobile homes (rv’s, trailers) and most are old wooden houses built in the 1950’s. The tiny neighborhood i live in unfortunately received a nasty amount of rain over the week; rising floodwaters anywhere from 6 inches to 3.5 feet. My house luckily received around 6 inches rather than the latter, but it being a one story means that everything inside has to be gutted. Including everything we own. We are hoping for some FEMA assistance but will most likely need more help. My mom works for a nonprofit that pays the minimum of what’s considered a livable wage, and she is the only one working in a 3 human 4 animal household, so we aren’t sure how we are going to be able to manage this.

My little brother set up a GoFundMe aimed to help us get back on our feet. All donations will go towards feeding us, transportation, and other necessities that are vital to keeping us safe. Depending on the damage we received, we may need the donations to relocate to a different state.

If money isn’t something you can afford to lose, please consider sharing this so others can see it. Thank you all so much.
