and i need to address a few things, as well. i'm a pretty neutral page, and being uplifting to those just starting out in their practice is something i enjoy doing. positivity and encouragement is extremely important.
i've been seeing a lot of "you're a real witch when___" lately
no. just no.
you're a real witch regardless if you're self sufficient or not. look up spells if it's needed, find a mentor if it's needed, educate and find yourself with your pace. it does not mean you're any less.
you're a real witch if you don't have a grimoire, or you don't have your spells memorized.
you're a real witch if you fall into depression and find it hard to practice. make sure your deities know this, find little ways to keep them happy.
you're a real witch, regardless of race, sexuality, whether you're just starting out or you've been practicing for years.
you're a real witch if you're not gatekeeping.
don't discourage our young witches. they need reassurance too. there is no wrong or right way to practice, as long as you're aware of which practices are closed and shouldn't be used unless you're from that heritage.
you're a witch, period. stop telling people that they have to fit a certain criteria to be a "real witch"
i don't believe that you become a witch. it was within and around you all along.
every time you'd collect rocks as a child, or spoke to the moon when you needed comfort, or even when that warm, tingling sensation would hit you while walking in the woods. it was always the little things that didn't quite make sense.
it was calling to you, remember that. you're no less just because you figured it out later.
self care is going into a thrift store and buying random items that work well with your craft. jars, bowls, candle holders, spice shelves, otherwise nonwitchy objects that can easily be personalized. i've bought some of my most favorite alter items from thrift stores.
it's a surreal feeling. and i wanna feel it again.
For those in the front line, risking your lives every single day to ensure that black voices are heardโ I stand with you. You are brave, you are change, you are revolution. Be safe, be smart, cover your identifying aspects, research ways to counteract police attacks safely. Use sigils, use protection, BE protection. We see you, we hear you.
For those that cannot be there in the protests, I urge you to be loud. Share verified information, donate to organizations that contribute to the cause, support your local black owned businesses (they need us more than ever), join the July 7th boycott. You are just as important as these protestors.
Witches, these protestors and the like need us. June 5th, on the full moon, there will be a mass casting. Do your part. Spell jars, hexes, jinxes, curses, sigils, candle lighting, whatever you can possibly contributeโ I urge you to do it.
No Justice. No Peace.
We fight for the silenced.

do you feel it, too? everything feels off within the veil. the Earth is giving off signals, and no one can seem to read them. is she distressed? is she happy?
something's coming and it's eerie to see how many other witches feel it too.
moss โ
it grows everywhere. it takes over even the simplest of structure. but do not fret, because once you appreciate its' beauty, it will become your friend. it is necessary.
My moss terrarium that I made with my Grandmotherโs old tea kettle that she gave to me. In the terrarium are mosses, grasses, rocks, and clovers. One clover decided to sprout through the spout :)

Cork Planters | Carved Chalices!
If you have limited space, or you enjoy tiny versions of pretty things like the goblins we are, cork planters are the perfect option for you!
I typically use a pocket knife to carve out the hole, and then a dremel to smooth the edges and/or make a creative design! The nails are typically used for stability. Remember to use succulent specific mulch or potting soil!
I also enjoy carving mini chalices like above, especially for my altar! You can add all sorts of things inside, like herbs, succulents, salts, crystals, etc! Whatever your deity/ies may desire.

mushrooms are forest babies, sacred and protected and loved. respect them. they are a powerful tool.
your grimoire does not have to be full of water colors, or illustrations, or dried plants, or essential oil infused ink. your pages do not have to be pristine, you don't have to include aesthetic tapes, or pretty polaroids.
you're allowed to mess up. your grimoire can have tears, or burns, or coffee stains, or wrinkled pages from the time you spilled your tea all over the place. it can be written in .5 mechanical pencil led or crayon.
the point is, your grimoire is apart of you. and if you love it, then you're doing it right.

The forest will never abandon you. Once you become part of their family, they will protect you forever.
the connection a witch has with nature is undeniable.
it's incredible, feeling at peace inside a humid forest.
it's unexplainable, feeling the energy underneath the water when you reach through it's current.
the connection we have is inside of everything. the sunshine, the rain, the call of the wind, the fire that keeps us warmโ both inside and out.
we come from nature. we must treat her with respect.
