Witchcraft
Welcome to The Balancing Path by Sidney Eileen
I am a nonbinary, intergender, asexual, animistic, polytheist witch. I acknowledge divinity and unique natures in not just the gods, but in all manner of ephemeral and supernatural beings, spirits, living beings, and the souls that embody the physical objects and spaces around us. My practice is lifelong and of an intuitive nature, seeking fulfillment through mutable asymmetrical balance.
In this section you will find all the things I have written or created directly related to witchcraft, magic, and paganism.

The drama over Diana Paxson’s expulsion from The Troth found its way onto my socials, which I am very glad for.

It is a very rare thing, and yet it is so very important in order for a community to be a genuinely safe and supportive environment for all of its members, especially when inclusivity is a goal.

Neurospicy Take on Positive Affirmations
Positive affirmations as they are typically done, do not work for me, and I am certain that is also true for a lot of other people who are also neurodivergent, and others as well.
