Sometimes the mundane leads you to the magickal; other times, the magickal lead to the mundane; in either case, the two are so connected in surprising, subtle, and potent ways. That is the real magick to me. /|\

Rest is a form of magick. Giving yourself permission to pause strengthens both spirit and spellwork. ✨💫

Music and witchcraft go hand in hand in my practice. Singing a spell aloud makes all the difference, transforming my intention into a dagger. #witchsky

Paulo Coelho is one of my favorite authors, because he imbues his stories with so much Truth.

This one reads like Druidic wisdom /|\

Sometimes we don't have any idea why or any logic behind what drives us.

Sometimes we simply feel called or passionate.

Sometimes intuition, blind yet certain, guides us forward.

Following it has always worked out for the best in my experience.

Healing has taken me from therapy and psychology into energy and body work then to financial literacy and back again, because everything is connected, and my poor sacral chakra has a lot of wounds to tend.

Money, Sex/SA, Trust Issues, and Fear or Trauma reponses all live here.

Poem by Andrea Gibson (may they rest in peace; with my gratitude for the words and light they left behind).

This one reads with such depth and truth for my animist, spiritual self, that I had to share it.

To know the divine is as simple as it is challenging, because words are useless distractions at the source.

Send your intentions then let life or the universe or the divine (whatever you call it) have its way in response to your choices and requests.

It's like a massage - sometimes painful or tense in places, but always healing once you relax into the work.

Sometimes we don't do the big ritual.

We are tired or struggling, so we don't light the candle and draw a circle, we just sit in the dark and reach out towards the divine with our hearts before falling asleep.

Sometimes that is the most potent magick. /|\

Before your next decision, pause. Ask your body: does this feel open or closed?

"Life is an unending series of complications, so it doesn't make any sense to be surprised by the arrival of the next one."
- Sam Harris

The trick is to lean in, learn to ride the waves and go with the chaotic storm of life's problems and challenges.

One of the most powerful lessons I have learned from grief and Shadow Work (IFS) has been to embrace endings. Combining that with recapitulation has made for potent and empowering transformations. buff.ly/IjqM8k6

Endings and Empowerment
Endings (failure, death, hopeless states, etc.) create fertile ground - harvest and plant carefully.

Everything that happens is a message; everything you do is a choice.

Exploring these two concepts has empowered me on so many levels and got me through the worst of my disability and mental health struggles.

Courage is being afraid and doing it anyway. It's Latin roots also point to courage as a form heart work or getting in touch with your inner truth and speaking it. To find that courage myself, I had to do a lot of sitting with fear. buff.ly/vIfjP8I

Years ago, inspired by the Day of the Dead, I dedicated today to honoring my ancestors and quietly reflecting as a rested post Samhain.

Now that I've said goodbye to loved ones, it has also become a time for remembering, self-care, and grief work.

Samhain at last!

Around midnight, I'll shift into remembrance and grief work, but today I find myself reflecting on the gifts of fear work: buff.ly/vIfjP8I

It was extremely challenging, but the insights made it seriously worth the work.

Tiz the season for introspection and grief work or connecting with and honoring what has come before, so it only feels right to share one of my most used rituals; a mental magick style spell outline you can customize and reuse:

"Shame is basically the fear of being unlovable."
- Brené Brown

Accepting yourself fully, flaws and all and owning your power ward of shame and unworthiness.

Connecting in an honest and vulnerable way to a trustworthy loved one combats it.

Some days inspiration and generosity burst at the seams with insights that demand to be shared.

Other days, empty or wounded feelings drag the day down and suppress even basic activity.

It takes both kinds of days to fully appreciate life and the beautiful mystery that is you.

I don't really do curses so much as blessings that kick serious ass until they teach the necessary truth or transformation... so maybe that is worse than a curse?

Basically, upset me and you may meet your own inner demons or just find your karma unleashed at full force.

Each of us has the power to sanctify.

Simply set the intention and apply your will in a mindful and disciplined way.

If it bothers you when someone else does not see the sanctified, you may need to reclaim your power or recognize how you've given it away.
