I would pick their brain until it fell out

I can’t say I’m an expert at all, but my dad’s a veterinarian and I love researching animals and pagan stuffs, so I’d gladly try to find you information and answers to any questions you might have whether it’s by asking daddy dearest or perusing the internets (that is, until a true fox guru appears, haha. ^^)

Kyanite balances and aligns the chakras. It never needs to be charged. It balances male and female energies. It also never needs to be charged. I’m very excited to be working with this stone as my chakras are out of whack thanks to all the stress the week has given me.

Cassie’s texting me too. So I guess I’ll just explain her a bit also. The messages I get from her are always a little provoking, because she’s half convinced she’s a witch. Trust me, of all people, she definitely isn’t. She really likes drawing attention to herself and acting mysterious, but it…

Edit: LMAO OOPS. The above is apparently fiction. (The blog was created for a fictional character). I got tricked, haha. ^^ I am however going to leave my response to what was posted here for anyone who’s ever been in a similar situation, or needs/wants similar advice.

+ To the OP: You tricked me! Props for the realistic writing! Also, hopefully any advice you get from those who fell for it on Tumblr will help with the story line, finding realistic responses to your character, and finding information on the views of the pagan community for reference.

————————————————————————-

As much as I understand having a friend who’s claiming things for attention (I had a friend who had an undiagnosed case of Histrionic personality disorder —I say undiagnosed only because it wasn’t made official. We suspected it, and the school therapist agreed, but she couldn’t diagnose without a full report and enough clear evidence.) In middle school and high school there is a lot of attention seeking all around. If your friend has an attention seeking personality, she’ll jump on titles and subjects that she thinks are taboo because they gain attention from those around her. If that’s the case, I’d hope she sees a therapist or talks to a guidance counselor at school, because cries for attention are often cries for help. It may be a case of mild depression or identity seeking associated with adolescence, but still. I’d hope she has someone she feels safe talking to.

That being said, one is not ‘born a witch’ in the sense that it runs in the family line. You can be born into a family which actively practices witchcraft, and from a young age be taught to use magic(k) and identify as a witch. Magic(k) is about using energy to manipulate the world around you, and I believe everyone has that capability and even does so to different extents without even knowing it. What you can be taught from a young age is how to control it and in that sense ‘harness’ your magic(k). Of course some people don’t use Crowley’s definition of magic(k) but from a quick glance at your blog it seems you do. I believe people have different levels of ability working with different methods of manipulating the world around them.

It is a problem if she doesn’t seem to know the difference between witchcraft and Wicca, or what it means to be a witch. However, if she is doing spells of any sort or putting magical intent into anything she does, she is practicing witchcraft and should feel free to identify as a witch. You yourself can’t limit her identity, but you can make sure she knows what being a witch means and that she’s actually practicing if she still chooses to identify as one. As for being Wiccan, ask her about it and make sure she knows what shge’s saying and what the religion is about. If she doesn’t, give her a book on Wicca, send her links to reliable websites on the subject, or just tell her about the religion itself. If she’s interested in the religion, she should want to learn. Talk to her about her specific beliefs (aka what she believes about the workings of the universe, how it was created, deities, etc.) and explain what the Wiccan beliefs about it are. if she doesn’t agree with them that’s fine. So long as she isn’t part of an Abrahamic religion (i.e. Christianity, Judaism, Islam, and the sects thereof) tell her she doesn’t have to fit her beliefs into the mold of Wiccan belief if she doesn’t believe in it, and she can simply identify as pagan. Help her find her beliefs and her religion, so that she can find her identity and have something more to hold on to. Also make sure she has someone to talk to when things get rough. If she’s had any trauma in her past it may also explain any attention seeking she may do.

As far as the vampirism goes, that either could be simple attention seeking and identity finding, but she may also feel akin to that mythological creature. Some people feel they are not human, or only part human in spirit, and can have quite a bit more trouble finding themselves. Help her find communities of people she can talk to if she truly feels this way. If she’s faking it for whatever reason, she’ll either feel less unique and quit pretending, or keep at it for a while and then stop when she gets bored of it. But most importantly, if it’s not who she is, she’ll figure it out and try to find herself in a different way.

I think that it’s very important for you to establish your boundaries. If you don’t want her bleeding you, then don’t let her. Don’t give her your arm, because she might think you’re a willing donor and cut you. If you don’t want her cutting you, then she has no right to. Make it clear that she isn’t allowed. True, if she’s faking she might chicken out, but she also can be reckless. She probably won’t know how to handle a knife, how deep is too deep, and how big a cut is too big. Sit her down and talk to her. Tell her she has to respect other people and their boundaries, tell her there are people she can talk to if she truly feels this is who she is, and tell her that if she’s pretending for attention, it’s disrespectful to those who actually feel they are part vampire (I believe vampyre is the preferred spelling amongst these people). Also, make sure that she knows a fascination with human blood or gore is actually pretty common during adolescence. I had a fascination with it for a while too. (And my ex-friend who had histrionic personality disorder thought she was part vampire too —which of course was attention seeking and a delusion she had made for herself.) Your friend is either dealing with a part of her spirit and being that she doesn’t actually know how to properly control, or she’s delusional (which I say in the nicest way posssible. Sometimes people just lie to themselves, even if it’s just to see if there’s any truth to it.) Also be sure to ask her (more subtly that the way I am) how she feels around humans, and if she doesn’t understand, specifically when she sees blood normally (like if someone pricks their finger or scrapes their knee). If she seems confused, then she might be faking it, but if she seems unsettled, nervous, or ashamed (like she’s holding something back) or says that she has to hold herself back from wanting to drink them dry or rip them open, has to avoid going over to them, or has trouble being in the same room because she feels drawn to it, it may be a strong sign that she is part vampire in spirit. (From the posts I’ve seen by people who identify as vampire-kin or vampyre, they often feel some sort of pull) I don’t know anyone personally who identifies as this so I don’t know all of the details, but these are some ways in which I believe you can help her either realize it’s not who she is, or deal with who she is and find a community. Try doing some research on it so you can know the difference for yourself and help her along as well.

So basically, I’d say work with her, try to understand her, teach her, and research so that she can learn about herself and others (so that she has respect for people and their beliefs and isn’t too ignorant about the subjects). But most importantly, try to help her. Whether she’s attention seeking, ignorant, or having trouble finding herself, she’s lost and she needs a friend. I hope you’ll listen to my advice and I trust you know how to be a good one.
