breelandwalker:grimnirs-child:Tumblr, I really need to have a rant about this.This afternoon I went into my local park to visit my favourite trees, and discovered this. It’s apparently the remnants of somebody’s ritual: hundreds of fake fabric petals, pieces of wood wrapped in cord, empty herb sachets and several BATTERY OPERATED CANDLES.This so, so fucking irresponsible and unacceptable, I’m sorry. I don’t know how many solitary and group rituals I have partaken in that were held outside but went to great lengths to leave the absolute minimum trace of our being there. Other people love and enjoy and use and worship these areas. And if you want to do your ritual outside - why? Because you want to be close to nature? Then you have to take some responsibility, make an effort and make sure whatever you does has no negative effects on the natural world. Don’t leave things that are non-biodegradable, polluting or dangerous to animals like items with BATTERIES in. Have some consideration and don’t force other people who actually give a damn about the wellbeing of the area to pick up after you.If you think clean up is too hard, don’t do the ritual outside. End of discussion.THIS.Doing your ritual outdoors is not “getting close to nature” or “honoring the earth spirits” if you don’t fucking clean up after your goddamn self.Have some respect, witches. -- source link
