fiber craft for grounding
This past year, my relationship with crochet grew tenuous. What used to be my saving grace left me feeling disconnected. I found solace in other fiber arts as well as journaling, but crochet was my first. It was special. I missed it, but the inspiration was…gone. In 2019 when I was on bedrest with my…

a walkabout with the time tiger: time and memory within spiritual practice
Time is an aspect of reality that is rather mind-blowing. The U.S. government is making moves to make daylight saving time permanent — which just goes to show how much of this is made up anyways. This is the thought I’ve had since childhood. It is a topic of debate among scientists, and has become…

childhood full of existential dread, or something
CW: alcoholism, death, suicidal thoughts Edit: just want to add this addendum that I am feeling ok in my life now, and am quite happy at times. The state of the world and society is easy to drown in, but I am doing my best to educate myself and teach my kids. I just wanted…

daily practices: write in your journal
The third phase of reigniting my journal practice was moving past the collage pages and showing up to write. Let me tell you, my brain has fought every step of the way. But, to be honest, that’s usually how it happens when something is going to be beneficial for me. I am only in the…

word witchery
Word witchery means that our altars, our spells and our devotion is built with language. We dance among pages, painting scenes and calling forth incantations. Energy lies behind everything: thoughts, words, actions. Much like the energy behind a written charm or a prayer, words pack a punch in witchcraft. Words allow us to weave together…

portals and prayers journal: prayers to everything
Outside of the portal entries the other side of this journal includes prayers. Prayers to deity, animal spirits, plants, my higher self, my inner child, archetypes, colors, places, spirit guides, a piece of writing, astrological sign, or the universe. There is no limit here. What do I mean by prayer? Many of us think of…

animism: a call to the land
Todays card pull, dreamland & soul check-in theme is connecting to this land. learning more about it, accepting it as my home. Having a cherished relationship with the trees. Conversing with birds. Catching a glimpse as rabbit tucks into the leaves of our hedgerow, skipping to the abandoned building next door. I dreamt of wolves…

returning to my roots: light is the new black
I, like many of us, dabbled in spirituality and witchcraft from childhood through my teens and early adulthood. It was edgy, it was fun, it was different — and it scratched a very specific itch that Christianity wasn’t touching. It afforded us some semblance of control over our lives, but I’ll be honest…follow through was…

in the midst of further awakening
Finally, one of the factors that has contributed to my further understanding of our spiritual world is my daily practice of sitting with my journal. I currently work with three journals: a commonplace book, a collage/junk journal that I have titled my Prayers and Portals book, as well as a daily journal which serves as…

into the Field
I have been on a book kick lately. I’d say I am in the middle of about 50 books (I haven’t counted but I wouldn’t be surprised) at this point. So many subjects have been so intriguing lately, and I can’t seem to read fast enough. That’s mom life though — anytime I sit down…

how praying the rosary has changed my practice
Praying the rosary seemed complicated, and like something I would quickly bore of. But another one of the aspects of Christianity I really felt connected to was prayer. One religion couldn’t just take the term prayer. I may be a witch, but I wanted to pray as well! So, I began my daily devotional of…

how i manifested our first home
Once we had the money for the down payment, we began looking for a house, and the perfect one went on the market a few days later. After that, all of the pieces slowly fell into place for us to get that house, so I like to believe that it was a little bit meant…

gratitude: sobriety in spirituality
to say, sobriety and spirituality can 100% go hand in hand. This is my experience, and as it’s personal to me, I wanted to ensure you all that anyone who tells you otherwise is full of it. The beauty of witchcraft is that we get to carve out our own path. It’s special to us.…

hidden messages: the realistic look of spirit communication
I think messages from whatever spirits we’re connecting to are meant to sit with us. Make space for it. Pull some cards in reflection of that message. Journal or free write what that journey looks like for you. It’s about those liminal times between communing with your spirit team, and utilizing those times to lay…

portals: thoughts on trance from a recovering alcoholic
ill working on ancestor and spirit connection, but its all a work in progress. That’s what witchcraft is, isn’t it? Creating portals to the places we want to go, casting spells to bring our intention to fruition and cultivating a practice that brings richness into our lives. Learn to trust yourself, as I am learning…

ethereal skies open my eyes
ook back now, and trying to remember the overwhelming feeling of comfort, and magic that I felt in the air. I wish I could’ve bottled it up for the adult me, because I know part of it had to do with the time, and that things will never quite be the same. But, I think…

struggling with the basics
hese are things that I am working on, and developing everyday. I am sure they will continue to grow and evolve along with my practice. I hope this helps, and if you find yourself struggling with these things, please reach out to me! I would love to connect with others who have a hard time…

Pressures we put on ourselves as witches
It’s all about energy. Making our own ingredients and tools puts energy behind the intention of our spell. Finding and supporting small businesses in the occult community also puts energy behind the intention of our spell. Both paths are valid.

deity work isn’t for everyone — and that includes me
WitchTok is lit up with talk of deities fading, leaving or disappearing. I can’t comment on your experience, just share mine. I don’t know what is happening in your practice with your deity, if it’s something normal, if it’s a sign you should see where your journey is heading next, or something else entirely. But…

My Best Friend’s Exorcism
I initially picked up this book because it looks like an old VHS tape of a horror movie from the 80s. I knew that’s what they were going for. I give this book four out of five stars, and while I love nostalgia just as much as the next person, it just isn’t enough to…

introduction to an average witch
invite you to discuss, engage, challenge and share as I want to create a safe space for those who are learning, as well as those who are no longer novice but certainly not expert (where I am). I know I struggled for a time once I had read all of my beginner witchcraft books, and…
