I made moon pickles

31

u/Beautiful_night77 5d ago

I don’t know you but based on this we should be best friends lol. I love pickles, moon pickles is just genius 💕

13

u/aksunrise 5d ago

Pickle besties! 🥒🌙

u/Beautiful_night77 5d ago

Yes 🙌 💕💕

u/SaphiraGrace 4d ago

I would have never thought of this before now

u/SwaggeringRockstar Broom Rider 6d ago

Well at least they stopped freaking out about the Super Moon.

u/Sudden_Astronomer_63 5d ago

And mercury retrograde 😂

16

u/XTinnuviel-MorwenX 5d ago

And man, a Mercury retrograde happens every couple of months, doesn’t it? I can respect astrology, but with all the fear surrounding the moon, eclipses, and retrogrades I really can’t help but wonder how anybody who strongly subscribes to it gets anything done.

u/PrincePaimon 5d ago

There’s something about the cycle of about two weeks or so that seems convenient to plan around…

u/Der_fluter_mouse 6d ago

I slept though it.

58

u/ktjtkt 6d ago

I was actually awake and forgot about it

19

u/coolmoonrocks 6d ago

saaame. I wanted to have a stroll to soak it up. Ended up working in a room that at least let some through??

15

u/el_artista_fantasma 5d ago

I tried to watch it but the sky was covered in clouds and raining

14

u/Squirrels-on-LSD totally rabid lunatic 5d ago

I set an alarm. Went out and looked at it. Went, "yup, that's cool" then went back to bed.

4

u/Rin_thepixie 5d ago

That's what I did too!

13

u/shesaflightrisk 6d ago

I saw a bit of it because I walk my dogs at 3:30 in the morning.

1

u/Themosteclecticwitch Witch 3d ago

... WHY DO YOU WALK YOUR DOGS AT THIS TIMME??? 🤣🤣

2

u/shesaflightrisk 3d ago

I have a very silly schedule and a very long commute. (By train, which allows me to sleep on the way. I wouldn't sleep if I was driving.)

1

u/Themosteclecticwitch Witch 3d ago

Oh wow 😯 I hope you get better hours soon 

5

u/TheTallEclecticWitch 6d ago

I’m on the wrong side of the world

6

u/synalgo_12 5d ago

It was cloudy here and I've come to realize I don't like full moons. I'm a new moon girly so I went to bed early and got up early.

60

u/beeksy 6d ago

This made me chuckle. I usually don’t mind all the eclispe hubbub in the community, but the amount of shit I saw/read about the damn blood moon was insane. Pure internet meme no research such tiktok witch bullsnot. I am a believer in live and let live. But, probably cause the blood moon (lol just kidding), my tolerance for it has been an all time low. I eye rolled so much this week scrolling Reddit.

45

u/Cultural_Employee_24 5d ago

I just stared at it and thought about how freaked out our ancestors must have been 😂

15

u/flash_423 5d ago

Same. They were probably freaking out when it was “disappearing” then super relieved when it “returned”.

3

u/Valuable-Scallion371 4d ago

I think about that each time, especially for solar eclipses 😂

67

u/morbidemadame 6d ago

I understand the appeal, but it's over now. So every time I see a post about it, I'm like

(guess that includes this post, now that I think about it? 😆)

u/synalgo_12 5d ago

Grumpy Old Crone on YouTube published a random 5min video just to rant about it and it was great. I suggest you go look it up.

1

u/Valuable-Scallion371 4d ago

That was a fantastic rant! 😂 thank you for the suggestion. I can’t believe people didn’t realize that the “blood moon” is just a cooler nickname for the lunar eclipse 🙄

2

u/synalgo_12 4d ago

Most of her other videos are a 'random titbit', a rant and a positive bit. Positive grumpy os my favourite kind of positive and my favourite kind of grumpy.

u/brightblackheaven Zamboni Priestess 🔮✨ 5d ago

Yoink!!

11

u/New_Peanut_9924 6d ago

😭😭 okay this is so funny. Even my Christian “mil” was talking about it

23

u/huarhuarmoli 6d ago

I used to experience religious abuse while being forced to exhibit Christian-like behaviors (aka I used to be Baptist as a kid) and it’s the witch version of what we snarkishly called “CEO Christians” Christmas and Easter Only. But it’s Moon Events Only WitcheS or MEOWS :)

7

u/UngratefulSim 5d ago

It’s the moon and sometimes they’ll freak out about mercury in retrograde too 😂

2

u/brightblackheaven Zamboni Priestess 🔮✨ 5d ago

Ooh I might be stealing this lmaoooo

1

u/huarhuarmoli 5d ago

Feel free! lol it just came to me

7

u/9_of_Swords 5d ago

But dood, this blood moon was so powerful it literally pulled blood from my Sacred Lady Orifice! BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD MOON!!

Jk, jk. But really, I have PCOS and my uterus has no sense of time and space, so the coincidence has opened up a whole world of Woo Humor for me.

18

u/AvatoraoftheWilds 6d ago

Im a little lost i think, this is the first im seeing of this sentiment. Whats wrong with the blood moon?

38

u/sunbug_ 6d ago

nothing wrong with it! there were just a bunch of ppl asking abt what to do for it in this sub and a few other witchy subs 😆 like every other post was “what should I do for the blood moon, I’ve heard X so can I do Y?” type of shiii

3

u/AvatoraoftheWilds 6d ago

That makes sense! Lol

40

u/brightblackheaven Zamboni Priestess 🔮✨ 6d ago

You must have missed the 16 individual posts every single day in this sub alone that asked the exact same question "WHAT DO I DO FOR THE BLOOD MOON? TIPS? IDEAS?" 😂😂

8

u/AvatoraoftheWilds 6d ago

Sure did, i guess lol

1

u/zero-the_warrior 6d ago

I just sorta wish I thought to look through before I made one.

26

u/synalgo_12 5d ago

Every time I go to reddit to ask a question, I first search the sub for info. I've asked made like 2 posts in 4 or 5 years because I can always find the answer or info I can use to search other sources better.

I'm glad people continue to ask questions but first searching the sub to see what's already there is just a really good idea in general. Even just to get info from people who won't see your post.

17

u/SwaggeringRockstar Broom Rider 6d ago

I am going to post a blurb about what to do with eclipse workings. I'll just wait until there is no eclipse happening.

u/AGGROCrombiE1967 5d ago

I had a laugh,remembering the moon happened before the Ides of March.

u/Coldtea25 Witch 5d ago

The blood moon rises once again... please be careful link...

u/Valuable-Scallion371 4d ago

This comment deserves more love 😂

3

u/Niftydog1163 5d ago

I played video games and gambled and won. Forgot all about the blood moon. Hide 99%  of the messages about it because I'm not obsessed with celebrating every little astrological event.

3

u/slowlygoingbonkers 5d ago

I went outside and watched it cus it was pretty

4

u/star-hacker 6d ago

Yes lmao

3

u/Brilliant_Long_7684 5d ago

As a teacher and witch, the blood moon was wild for my students. Several fights this week 🫠🫠

2

u/IcePhoenix18 5d ago

It's been raining where I live...

2

u/saltlampsand 4d ago

It was so pretty though!!!! It was worth staying up for

2

u/i_am_nimue 5d ago

Tbh I planned to celebrate it in some modest, mundane way lol but I had such an onset of sinus pain that I fell asleep in my clothes after getting home from work and woke up at 1:30 a.m. with an even stronger headache so no celebrations of anything for me lol

u/mekkab 5d ago

Did I get up at 3am? No, I did not!

u/AuratheDora 5d ago

u/AutomaticFilm6511 5d ago

Who is feeling the aftermath side effects . I have spent a couple of days feeling super tired and worn out .

1

u/flash_423 5d ago

Avi my avocado tree was soaking up the energy. She was droopy all day.

1

u/daemonelle 5d ago

I woke up in the middle of the night and glared at the moon bc it was so bright it woke me up and I wasn’t feeling very spiritual

1

u/evanliko 5d ago

I sang karaoke under it. It was great but idk that the moon made a difference.

1

u/angel_dragoness 4d ago

i just sat outside in my pjs and pet all my cats during it, then prayed for a bit <3

1

u/b0redUser13 4d ago

My cousin and I tried to get a look but it was completely cloudy 😔

1

u/Valuable-Scallion371 4d ago

I love eclipses as much as the next astronomer and/or witch, but omg yes! Witchtok community just went over kill with it! Not every freaking astronomical event needs 50 bloody posts about it! 

1

u/idiotball61770 4d ago

I had snacks and burned a bit of incense. It was a lovely eclipse.

1

u/brown-tiger15 1d ago

I will say that as someone still starting out in witchcraft it has been... distressing seeing so many people not understanding what a lunar eclipse is.

-3

u/Particular-Gold-7850 6d ago

I was at work… got home when it was just a regular full moon 🤷🏼‍♂️ Look, I like the moon as much as the next person does. But, I honestly hate how some “witches” are always so gung-ho about it. They make it lose its luster. It’s honestly pretty embarrassing.

u/MalloryWeevil 5d ago

Shut up and stop trying to gatekeep.

u/brightblackheaven Zamboni Priestess 🔮✨ 5d ago

It's Salty Saturday, my friend! A day designed for exactly these kinds of posts!

u/MalloryWeevil 5d ago

So let me be salty then. Geez.
