“What I want is to be needed. What I need is to be indispensable to somebody. Who I need is somebody that will eat up all my free time, my ego, my attention. Somebody addicted to me. A mutual addiction.” 🍃✨
feeling down in the dumps due to all the energy wishing washing around lately?
Not being as productive as you’d have liked?
Feeling like you are caught up in a weird space?
💫Take a shower. 💫
Cleanse. I have been feeling like this for about two weeks now, leading up the the full moon with Saturn in Retrograde, Pluto in Retrograde and ALL the post Mercury Retrograde. Phew. So what does one do when caught up in this?
💫Take a shower.💫
Taking a shower for a human witch is like the equivalent of cleansing your (water liking!!) crystals under running water.
Use your Shampoo/Body Wash Scent as a Charm Correspondence! Mine was cranberry scented, so I used it to make myself appear attractive and beautiful/powerful for Bealtaine. Basically Witch’s Valentine’s Day.

A good friend who knows how my depression works warned me: This movie takes a VERY hard turn to the grimdark compared to the previous movies (esp. Black Panther and Ragnarok) and is extremely upsetting and frankly, cruel to the viewer.
I’m very glad I was forewarned because frankly this is the kind of thing that would have sent me into a depressive spiral. I *Strongly* advice against taking kids to this movie.
If you want more details, HUGE SPOILERS under the cut: (if on mobile, use tag filtering or scroll past now.
So there have been people in the notes trying to assure us that most of this is not perma-death, and some Not So Nice comments to the effect of “It’s Just a movie!”
1. Thank you for the reassurance, but it’s still upsetting to watch happen, especially if you’re not familiar with the original comic arc.
2. This warning is for people with Depression/bipolar/BPD/other emotional regulation problems, or people with small children who haven’t developed those skills yet. If you’ve got a handle on your brain chemistry, terrific! For those of us that don’t, spoilers and content warnings are important tools to prevent aggravated symptoms, or prepare ourselves for going in anyway.
3. If you DO like grimdark or liked the original comic arc, it’s apparently a very well-made movie and you will probably enjoy it. Go have fun, the rest of us will be over here.
Be safe, and be nice to each other.
Tacking onto this, because I cannot warn people enough:
IF YOU HAVE ANY TYPE OF MOTION SICKNESS YOU WILL PUKE.
They shake the camera EVERY DAMN TIME they want you to feel things. I’m on the good meds for it and I almost puked after ten minutes.
Seriously, I don’t know who designed this shitfest, but I want to punch them in the groin.
