I recently moved…

and haven’t actually unpacked anything in like 2 months….its a process.

But today I unpacked some meaningful stuff that had actually been put away for 1-2 years due to me moving around a lot and not having places for things.

I’m finally settling in, so I FINALLY gave the place a good spiritual cleanse, lit some incense and candles with intention, and hopefully this will give me the push I need to keep unpacking and getting things together.

Here’s my little mantle altar. 🩷

Pomegranate

Six red seeds, one for every seed Persephone ate in the underworld

(The idea just came to me one day and I hadn’t seen anyone else do it so I thought it should be done!!)

Low Energy Witchcraft

I'm neurodivergent and i experience really intense burnout. I get to a point where I struggle to even get out of bed, take my meds, remember to drink water, let alone practice. But, when I want to practice i have a list of things i can usually do. Everyone's experiences with burn out/low energy are different so this list may not apply to you, and that's okay. Take what resonates, leave what doesn't and i hope you enjoy my silly little list :)

create a playlist and infuse it with an intention. eg, a money spell playlist filled with songs about wealth.

draw sigils with soap when in the shower. (you can also use a wet wipe if you can't shower)

found some juice? give it a little shake and use the ingredients as a spell.

have food that has grains as ingredients? wow! an abundance spell!

the classic add intention to your tea and coffee.

bind your hair. for me with is as simple as putting my hair in a ponytail.

watch a witchy video. while not technically practising witchcraft, sometimes all you need is to sit back and relax to connect with your practice.

when I have a decent amount of energy I'll grab a large pillar candle and carve sigils into it. I use it as a long-term spell; all I have to do to activate it is light the candle. I like to light one of these spell candles when I'm having a bad day.

if you're religious, pray. Even if you're lying in bed. Even if you haven't showered in a week. If it makes you happy and you can, do it

burn some insence! it smells good, you don't have to really worry about forgetting about it, it's good for cleansing. it's great!

take a nap with some crystals. any restorative crystals or calming crystals work great! just make sure that they aren't geodes or roughs. i'd hate for you to hurt yourself while sleeping.

if you don't have any crystals for your nap, set an intention instead. please let yourself rest.

It's important to remember that you're allowed to take breaks from your craft. If you're forcing yourself to practice when you have no energy because "that's what a good witch would do!" then you're probably going to make your situation worse. it's a great way to fall out of love with witchcraft. give yourself some grace. rest is infinitely more important than 1 full moon, 1 new moon, or missing your daily/weekly/monthly cleanse. You aren't a bad person if you don't pull your morning tarot card or check the astrology forecast for today. and you aren't a bad person if you miss your daily prayer. take care of yourself. your health is WAY more important than your craft. Go get a drink of water and take care of yourself <3

The Ultimate Grimoire Guide

So! I have been seeing a ton of grimoire ideas and thought I’d stuff them all together. A lot of ideas are from @manifestationsofasort, @banebite, and @pigeonflavouredcake. Check them out! They have a ton of cool stuff there.

What Do I Use For My Grimoire?

You can use anything for a grimoire! For a physical one, journals, binders, and notebooks are good. For digital ones, Notion, Tumblr, Docs, and even just your file folder are great.

What is a Liminal Space?

[iwitch-plus]

something i've noticed. people seem to think the most nature-y nature is forests. so forests are always prioritized for conservation, and planting trees is synonymous with ecological activism. my state was largely prairies and wetlands before colonization. those ecosystems are important too. trees aren't the end-all be-all of environmentalism. plant native grasses. protect your wetlands.

No outdoor pics due to the weather, but this is the skull I dipped yesterday! This is a later print where we decided to only hollow out the cranium. They feel a lot more balanced and are far easier to process.

in your 20s you must rediscover the joys of arts and crafts to stave off spiritual decay

[iwitch-plus]

A lot of "daily witchcraft" stuff just boils down to practicing basic mindfulness and self-awareness. That's not a bad thing. Like mysticism aside, yeah your little daily witchcraft practices are certainly going to yield good results if it's making you reflect on your emotions, identify your goals, analyze what food and drink you're putting in your body, ground yourself, and act with intention on a daily basis if you weren't doing it before.

Journal entry:

Creating a comfortable space for yourself is simultaneously the best and hardest thing to do

I’m struggling currently with making my living space somewhere I want to spend time at. I feel like a terrible cat mom (they have automatic feeders and I still make a point to spend time with them but still.) and I feel as though I never get to focus on my hobbies anymore because I don’t like being at my house so I spend my time literally anywhere else.

This also makes it hard to motivate myself to get back into my practice as well. Creating a new routine is a hard thing to do, let alone a hard thing to do when you don’t have a space that supports a routine you want to be in.

My boyfriend and I plan on moving in together potentially in the spring, hopefully at least a 2 bedroom house to rent so we have enough space to pursue our hobbies. I really hope that getting into a new space will help me grow, but sometimes I fear that I lack the self discipline to create new habits for myself and will end up in the same cycle I’m in right now and have been in for a few years.

As a person with adhd, my space is hard to maintain already but being in such a small space makes everything so much more overwhelming. Cleaning, doing things, even just sitting anywhere other than my bed and watching tv is hard.

It’s been a minute since I drew a tarot card for myself but I’m still trying to do that as a way to build a new routine. But otherwise I feel so stuck.

Thanks for reading ❤️ hoping for better days soon

I wanna be the village witch. Living in a cozy hut in the woods, talking to animals and forest spirits, brewing potions, helping the nearby villagers with their problems. They think I'm the oddest thing they've ever seen but their houses are always warm and their plates full so they are kind to me
