INTJ: Super withdrawn, swings between gratification and wanting happiness, and unhealthy single-mindedness. Existential angst. Needs people’s support but rejects company. Bottles up issues and then it bursts out.
ENTJ: Prone to attack others, often over the very issues they’re insecure about. Becomes a workaholic and ignores feelings of deep dissatisfaction, or stops giving a crap about anything.
INFJ: Despairs of all things, just can’t see The Point of it. Goes through days mechanically, without purpose. Resists all help, considering it to be probing. Can’t get anything done.
ENFJ: Laughs a bit too loudly and smiles a bit too widely. Escapes to private places, but feels lost. Tells their problems to someone close to them, but doesn’t accept any advice.
INFP: Isolate, isolate isolate. Sees the negative in everything and can’t see others’ love/affection for them. Loses their ‘purpose’ and drive, can’t find meaning in anything. Idealizes what they can’t have. Perpetual self-pity-party.
ENFP: Super excitable, overdoes everything. Cannot focus at all, and their own emotions/reactions are out of their control. Breaks down sobbing. Unwilling to actually move forward.
ISFP: Mull around in their own feelings, hates the world around them, because it’s failed them. Spiraling moodiness, “what ifs,” “should’ve done this,” but no one will ever see that. They themselves won’t admit it.
ESFP: Unusually critical, closed-minded, and overly concerned with matters of appearance over substance. Terrible sense of logic, yet argumentative all the same. Delves into the physical world in order to escape their mental one.
ISTJ: Scattered mind, unable to think coherently. Becomes judgmental and passive-aggressive. Super pessimistic, takes on a me vs. the world mentality.
ESTJ: Intensely prickly, will take offense at anything but prefers to strike first and strike hard. If you hit a nerve, they’ll cut you out of their lives (for the time being). Tries to act happy and in control, but actually really moody.
ISFJ: Withdrawn, tries to please everyone but is really passive-aggressive about it. Takes on a martyr complex. Refuses help while throwing a pity party because “no one cares about them.”
ESFJ: Seeks control of people and surroundings, bossy and irritable. Might manipulate others into feeling bad, too. Denies that they’re the problem.
INTP: Makes a lot of jokes about how things aren’t okay, but aggressively resists anyone’s sincere attention. Turns flat and emotionless, takes compartmentalizing to an unhealthy extreme.
ENTP: Scatterbrained, cannot focus. Swings between extremes of emotions, but makes a point to show a falsely sanguine face to people. Feels like they’re crumbling from the inside.
ISTP: Compulsive and reckless. Has a “screw this” attitude and pushes away actual problems. May or may not confide in people, but too down to take any advice.
ESTP: Use bravado and ‘self-confidence’ to mask their insecurities. Get a rush from attention, whether it’s positive or negative, and thus seek it out. Obsessive mentality, particularly concerning negative outcomes.
Thoughtforms are, basically, thoughts that have taken a shape or form. They can be made to do specific tasks, or they can be made into their own person and allowed to have free will. Some people can make them simply by thinking about them and willing them into existence. Others make an object to symbolize the thoughtform, and pour energy into it.
There is a specific practice for making thoughtforms as companions with their own free will, emotions, and thoughts, called Tulpamancy. I do not know much about this, and cannot say much about other than that it sounds slightly similar to what I do.
What Should I Have in Mind While Making a Thoughtform?
Try to have a design already in mind
Many people name the thoughtform based on the thoughtform’s purpose
Make a name sigil. It will give you something to funnel the energy towards
Remember, the thoughtform can evolve and become something else. If you don’t want this to happen, set limits
Research, research, research!
Why Even Make One?
Some people prefer thoughtforms over spirits for a number of reasons. They could simply be wary of working with spirits, or it’s just easier for them. I like the idea of having a thoughtform as a friend. That’s the whole reason I created my shop, Rowan and Sage.
It seems that in tulpamancy, tulpas are created to be companions. They spend most of their time in the person’s head instead of the outside world, which is what some thoughtforms do.
Note: Tulpa is an appropriated term, and was used only because of how it is used in tulpamancy. Neither of us condone the appropriation of terms and cultures. Please, only use the term thoughtform.
Bottom Line: Either way, it’s slightly like “Foster’s Home For Imaginary Friends”. You are creating a friend or whatever, and they are real. Some will have emotions and their own ideas, and others will simply do what you say. How they look and act is all up to you.
It’s okay if you don’t cast every single day. It’s okay if you don’t collect crystals, or work with spirits, or work with your astral self.
Just because you see other witches doing things, doesn’t mean you’re any less of a witch for not doing them. Your craft is your own and you should never feel that you must do things that you don’t like/agree with, or things that make you uncomfortable. You do not need to meet a certain criteria or fulfil anyone’s expectations but your own.
Of course I would always urge you to push yourself, but remember that there’s magick in the mundane too. Stir your drinks clockwise for positivity, sing in the shower and laugh out loud to charge your spaces.
“We may have been starved of supermoons in 2017, but January 2018 will offer two. Spot the Wolf Moon onJanuary 2, and a rare “blue” supermoon on January 31.”
THREE CONSECUTIVE SUPERMOONS
THE THIRD ONE BEING A BLUE MOON
Get ready, witches. Winter is coming.
There’s also a lunar eclipse on January 31st! This is a crazy special moon :0
Supermoon = moon is full while it’s closest to Earth in its orbit (making it bigger and brighter than usual)
Blue Moon = when a second full moon occurs within the same month as the one prior (each calendar month normally only has 1 full moon)
Lunar Eclipse = when the Sun, Earth, and Moon align perfectly (in that order) so that the sunlight reflected onto a full moon is eclipsed by the earth; thus, the full moon becomes dark for a short while
Three rare lunar events will be occurring on the same night. Immediately ensuing two consecutive Supermoons.
