I need to clear the air about a review of Intuitive Witchcraft. I do NOT advocate self-harm, I do NOT think Wicca practices are mandatory, and I do NOT think every witch should be in a coven. You know that I got the receipts too. 🧿 Scroll through to see some screen shots of my book. The fact that this video spread misinformation about me to thousands of people is disheartening. It has been removed, so at least there’s that. I’m a little concerned it did damage to my reputation, but I know it’s not worth stressing over. I don’t have the mental capacity for petty stuff, but I definitely needed to get this on the record. I would welcome reviews on the big websites if you haven’t written one yet, with phrases like “so many options!” no mandatory beliefs or practices!” the section on a little pain was responsibly worded” (if you feel that way). I want to give a big shout out to the people who responded on Twitter yesterday with feedback about it. I captured some of it on the last frame. 💜💜💜 And guess what. So far, no one has DM’d me about it. I think the reviewer was confused, overly dramatic, or their fear-based thinking didn’t allow them to read the whole paragraph about a little pain. The rest of the review was actually nice. So yeah, my New Year’s Eve started off with a lot of wtf. I hope yours was better! https://www.instagram.com/p/CYNjBR_M0Q_/?utm_medium=tumblr

Found these cheeky buggers on a walk the other day 🌼🧡

I cleaned up my main/center altar for a Llewellyn promotion about my practice, intuitive witchcraft. This photo shows what I have before me ever morning—tarot, a candle, some plant matter for burning, a big singing bowl, and my book of shadows. It’s the place I take my coffee to sort through dreams and divine the day. I always follow my intuition about how many cards to pull, what to burn, whom to call upon, and how long to meditate. I love this altar and I’m glad to be able to share it with others! What does your morning/center altar look like? Do you have a morning practice? I’d love to hear about it. 🌞🌼🌟✨ https://www.instagram.com/p/BzNfmacjXcM/?igshid=m3cekk4qi0eq

Mercury retrograde and Hermes, in his role as a traveler to the underworld, have a lot in common. Both of those are about healing and putting old energies to rest. Our next Mercury retrograde starts March 5, 2019. Read on for survival tips.

I have galaxy ombré hair!! 💕💜💙🖤 When I’m not actively creating something, I express it through my appearance more. All of that magical energy needs to find an outlet. I’ve been having a great time since I turned my book in a week ago. I’ve danced with my fire girls, wrote a blog about how strange experiences make you look at the world differently, spent some time with my beloved, and went to yoga. It feels so good to expand my energy again! I know I’ll be back at work on the second draft soon, but for now, I’m enjoying my time. What do you do when you finish a creative project? Do you start on another one immediately, or take a break? Let me know. ⭐️🕯 happy imbolc to all my pagan friends too! https://www.instagram.com/p/BtY82-CgjC4/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=uwyg5jbkjo1q

I love the crackling sound that bay leaves make.

My town puts up snowflakes along the main road every year.  They’re actually sigils that promote a sense of community.  

Happy Yule! Do you know what you're doing to celebrate the longest night of the year? If not, check out my post below. I wrote a ritual for Yule that includes candle magic, bay leaf magic, intentions, bath magic, and more. It could be used for a solitary practice, or in a group. The theme is 'Rebirth of the Soul.' It was originally written for the current Blessed Be Box, but we decided to share it with everyone. 

Sometimes, a witch needs to don an energetic cloak. Whether you want to move through a marketplace relatively unseen or to sparkle like sunlight on water, a magical/energetic cloak might be just what you’re looking for.
