push yourself to fall asleep earlier - start with 11pm, then 10pm, then 9pm. wake up in the morning feeling re-energized and comfortable.

get into the habit of cooking yourself a beautiful breakfast. fry tomatoes and mushrooms in real butter and garlic, fry an egg, slice up a fresh avocado and squirt way too much lemon on it. sit and eat it and do nothing else.

stretch. start by reaching for the sky as hard as you can, then trying to touch your toes. roll your head. stretch your fingers. stretch everything.

buy a 1L water bottle. start with pushing yourself to drink the whole thing in a day, then try drinking it twice.

buy a beautiful diary and a beautiful black pen. write down everything you do, including dinner dates, appointments, assignments, coffees, what you need to do that day. no detail is too small.

strip your bed of your sheets and empty your underwear draw into the washing machine. put a massive scoop of scented fabric softener in there and wash. make your bed in full.

organise your room. fold all your clothes (and bag what you don’t want), clean your mirror, your laptop, vacuum the floor. light a beautiful candle.

have a luxurious shower with your favourite music playing. wash your hair, scrub your body, brush your teeth. lather your whole body in moisturiser, get familiar with the part between your toes, your inner thighs, the back of your neck.

push yourself to go for a walk. take your headphones, go to the beach and walk. smile at strangers walking the other way and be surprised how many smile back. bring your dog and observe the dog’s behaviour. realise you can learn from your dog.

message old friends with personal jokes. reminisce. suggest a catch up soon, even if you don’t follow through. push yourself to follow through.

think long and hard about what interests you. crime? sex? boarding school? long-forgotten romance etiquette? find a book about it and read it. there is a book about literally everything.

become the person you would ideally fall in love with. let cars merge into your lane when driving. pay double for parking tickets and leave a second one in the machine. stick your tongue out at babies. compliment people on their cute clothes. challenge yourself to not ridicule anyone for a whole day. then two. then a week. walk with a straight posture. look people in the eye. ask people about their story. talk to acquaintances so they become friends.

Hello, sweet ones - ♡ Depending on your personal preferences and unique path, *any* time of the year is great for practicing Magick, especially when you feel strongly drawn towards doing so! As such, please do take this post with a grain (or pinch!) of salt. ☺️ It is simply a list which I hope inspires those who are privy to or interested in incorporating certain elements + energies into their craft; specifically in regards to the times of the year. Now, then… ♡ Here are the twelve calendar months, and which vibrancies + practices each one has always seemed to pull me towards (based on their respective seasons, celebrations, elemental correspondences, etc.) I hope these ideas inspire you to carry out your own little rituals and divination tactics in more ways than one! Happy Magick Making! 🕯✨

• January: Acknowleding your deepest inner needs, and getting in better touch with the root of your spirituality. Welcoming one’s individuality through the process of self-discovery and instinctual magick (seeking out your path’s purpose, etc.)

• February: Focusing on matters of the heart, and unfolding what it means to be a guiding light for others whilst also showing sympathy to yourself. Cleansing, renewal, and youthful energies. Preparation and patience as the spirit begins to re-emerge.

• March: Noticing the ‘little things,’ demonstrating more appreciation towards the things you have, connecting to both the Earth and yourself through deeper breathing. Centering, stabilizing, inner reflection. Plant magick, second chances, and tension-releasing stretches.

• April: Believing in your passions and ideas well enough to really spark them to life; working on realligning your chakras. Reevaluation, deep introspection, and unblocking disregarded potential. Dream magick + manifestation.

• May: Remaining consistent in the reaching of one’s current desires, striving towards them with logic and realism. Harmonizing one’s ‘inner fire’ with grounding. Relationship and sexual studies. Paying special attention to communicatory matters, and doing so with an emphasis on unity and understanding.

• June: Trying not to dwell upon nostalgic images too consistently (namely, those which evoke much sadness or disconnect.) Soul-searching and spiritual enlightenment through cleansing spells + the organization of both your personal plans and your physical spaces.

• July: Embracing vibrancy, creating fresh memories, and expressing support in relation to unification + social issues. Emotional understanding through water-based magick; living in the moment.

• August: Maintaining a keen focus on your blessings. Fire and harvest magick, gratitude journaling, and pendulum-based divination. Self-sacrifice, tarot spreads, the acknowledgement of balance, and future planning.

• September: Winding down your energies and taking the time to ’re-set.’ The “Spring Cleaning” of Summer’s fading days, making way for seasonal transitions. Mental grounding, beautifying + harmonizing your altar space, and slowing your roll.

• October: Opening untouched doors with a fresh wave of inspiration + embracing that jolt of electric energy taking over the air. Creativity, curiosity, spirit connections, protective practices, and harnessing your psychic abilities.

• November: Delving into new projects with a fresh perception and a powerful sense of self. Passion, transformation, and preparation. Working heavily with one’s respective familiar, favoured deities, and/or spiritual guides.

YES the title’s inflammatory and trust me this isnt a bash against wicca as a religion. Just Bear with me PLEASE

As much as ive been loving researching wicca (despite simply being a secular witch atm) i have a huge gripe with neo-wicca as it stands in relation to their thoughts on cause and effect.

The “law” started with one comment from Gerald Gardner’s novel, High Magic’s Aid,

“Mark well, when thou receivest good, so equally art bound to return good threefold.”

Which actually means the opposite of “the three fold law” its saying when you recieve good things you’re obligated to do good onto others and the world as an act of gratitude and appreciation for what you’ve recieved.

because of this misinterpretation a poem was published in a magazine back in 1975 entitled “the wiccan rede” which isn’t the rede btw, the rede is just “an it harm non do what ye will” which is meant as a guidance to help you think about your actions, not a law. Because of that one poem we’re here with the obviously incorrect notion that absolutely everything returns 3 times as bad which im sorry but look at the world we live in with horrid people getting the best and the 1% and good people in ditches. No.

The wiccan rede isnt a law and wiccan never had a Threefold law of return until it got to the public and everyone misinterpreted simple lines of wisdom and teaching as laws because they were so used to the bible and commandments.

So in short, dear Rede-thumping, curse-shaming sub-type of neo-Wiccans:

That’s not what threefold return means.

That’s not what karma means/stop appropriating shit.

That’s not what the Rede says.

That’s not how Wicca works.

Some of us aren’t Wiccan anyway and don’t welcome evangelizing.

Frickin’ learn your history/talk to actual educated Wiccans.

Have you looked at the world, serious question.
