That's a really good point. I would give myself extra care if I was going through something emotionally difficult in my waking life, it stands to reason that I should for my dreaming self as well. She is me, after all, and the sense of loss is the same.

This is beautiful, and resonates so deeply. Thank you for sharing this idea. ❤️

Sometimes I have dreams that I'm so in love with someone that I wake up heartsick and missing them. Not even people I know. This is a recurring theme that's surfaced many times and I've come to attribute it to my higher self. Anyone else have dreams like this? How do you interpret them? #witchsky

This is like the writer version of me walking around the house looking for my phone only to realize it’s in my hand. 😄

New book day! (Like so many other days, but still!) I’m impressed by the design on the edges of the pages. So lovely! Looking forward to reading it. #witchsky #booksky

Every time I post videos or am interviewed about witchcraft, people comment that I didn‘t do enough to explain what witches *believe.* Good thing I wrote a short, accessible book all about why that’s sort of a weird question: bookshop.org/p/books/witc...

Being ready means that I've seen to the mundane things related to preparing for winter and can turn my attention to inner work. I don't have any formal ritual traditions until the solstice, but do more journaling, trance & shadow work from Nov-Feb. Much more interior practices than anything.

This year's astrological date of Samhain is Thursday, November 6, 2025. I prefer to celebrate Sabbats on their fixed date, which is October 31 for Samhain, but it's still good to know alternative days.

Not quite, but I will be after Samhain. After that, it's full-on cozy mode and tucking in for the Big Dark here in the PNW, which really feeds into my spiritual awareness of winter.

Let me the first to warn you that sometimes witchcraft looks like cooking meth #witchsky

Or you look like you're on meth.

Woke up to someone saying my name, then went back to sleep and had misty, nostalgic dreams of people and places from my past. I might need to go walk around in nature for a while today. #witchsky

Embrace your craft, make it yours, and be grateful when it does not make any sense to others, cause secrecy and mysteries are the core of the craft, not the external overrated opinion of any stranger.

If you had to pick one reason you practice magick, what would it be? #WitchSky #PaganSky #OccultSky

I could come up with some intellectual answer but the truth is that it’s just deeply part of who I am. When I’m not practicing I feel untethered, like something is missing. When I stand at my altar I come into alignment with myself.

I struggle with it too. What a beautiful way to represent the Emperor! Much more approachable (IMO) than a stern dude on a throne.

This year we have accidentally broken more dishes in my house than in my entire life, ever. I’ve had to replace a full dinnerware set, and now some of them have broken too! I’m choosing to see it as an omen of breaking old patterns that no longer serve. Maybe I’ll break another! 😏 #witchsky

That’s interesting, I’ve never heard that advice. I’ve had my altar in my bedroom in the past because of space issues, and don’t remember having any issues with it. Currently my working altar is in my home office, and a spirit shrine is in my living room.

It really WOULD make a good chant! I love this idea.
