Amazing card a day journal layout!

For the first time ever in my whole witchy life, I did a tarot card pull of the day *and* recorded it. Honestly, I’m a little surprised. 13 of the days were cups cards, including almost the whole week of Felon47’s inauguration. And I have been super emotional all month. 😳 (Ignore my messy desk.)

Having a hard time with world news (and hormones) today. Thought this was such a powerful message "I won't give in to the lies. I won't give in to fear. I will hold on to the truth and to hope."

Sir PTerry intimately understood folklore and fauxlore. We're reading The Hogfather to the kids at the moment, an exploration of the dual God of Death and Rebirth (where each experiences the other), the nature and utility of belief and what it means to be human.

@tarasanchez.bsky.social you recommended an alternative to Goodreads I think? I've gotten rid of my kindle unlimited account and need somewhere for recommendations!

Mary Beard - Women and Power
You have to change the structure. That means thinking about power differently. R means decoupling it from public prestige. It means thinking collaboratively, about the power of followers not just leaders. It means, above all, thinking about power as an attribute or even a verb ('to power'), not as a possession. What I have in mind is the ability to be effective, to make a difference in the world, and the right to be taken seriously, together as much as individually. It is power in that sense that many women feel they don't have - and that they want.

Ugh, my department manager has just said that we're expected to do our office days in the new office from Feb 4th. That's right in 10 days! It makes my journey 50% longer.

I've messaged my people manager and refused.

"You can't easily fit women into a structure that is already coded as male; you have to change the structure" - Mary Beard 'Women & Power'

Reading around the issues I'm contemplating in BTW Wicca at the moment. This is such a helpful book.

These are the times our traditions were made for.

No, not as an escape...

As a reminder for what the world could look like.

Keep circling. Keep dancing. Keep holding community.
