  • On this a Samhain Day

    I recently attended an event called Samhain Symposium and I have to tell you a few lights went on in my brain. This happened in a few different ways but the ones that really stood out to me I will talk about below. It seems that Animism (something I have known about, but really only…

  • Card Pull: King of Cups

    So, somehow I will be in control of my feelings today? I mean so far so good but at the time this was pulled the sun wasn’t even up yet. This could also mean that I have found some balance in my life and today it shows. Considering the imbalance I was definitely feeling just…

  • Card Pull: 7 of Cups

    It’s not surprising that I pull this card the morning after I have a therapy session where I spent almost the entire hour complaining that I want something more. Something exciting, something bigger, something to look forward to… but I couldn’t figure out what. Seven of cups indicates that I need to find balance between…

  • Magic For Others

    I was recently requested as a co-conspirator on some magic (I of course mean that in the most affectionate and cheeky of ways). The request was to hold space, light a candle, send out energy to assist and protect someone in their journey to being single and free of any strongholds being placed on them…

  • Spent Magick and Overwhelming Outcomes (both good and bad)

  • Calling The Circle: A Song.

    One of my goals as a newly returned Spiritual Witch was to figure out a personal way to call upon the elements and energies for a Circle. In general I don’t consider myself Wiccan because there is a lot of practices the average Wiccan does that I am not into but calling the corners was…

  • Retreat (part 2 of December Check-in)

    To be honest I feel like Arc Retreat Community deserves its own post and not to be just a part of December Check-in. So this will be a good way to do that since I got distracted by errands last post. You can read the first part of my experiences here. Don’t get me wrong…

  • December Check-in

    I think what I am going to try to start doing is in the first few days of each month I am going to create a witchy blog post about the month prior. Lets face it I do kind of need a little poke and kick sometimes to remember to check in here. Life just…

  • Witchcraft as Selfcare

    Some have never thought of it this way, and some might be saying well duh? Witcraft relies on many of the same things that acts of self care involve. For any non witches who might be reading I know you need a little explanation here. I mean… If you are reading and interested in this…
