#finding your path

Balder, the Golden One

"He walked unharmed through every trial, yet the weight of fate still found him."

Navigating this unpopular path can be a bit tricky, especially since I'm doing affiliate marketing on TikTok as a side hustle while juggling school. I mean, it's cool that I have friends who support me and watch my live streams, but sometimes I can't help but think, "What if some people I know see me doing this?" It can feel a little awkward, right? Like, will they judge me or think I'm just trying to be a TikTok star or something?

But then I remind myself that this is my journey, and I'm doing it for me. I’m taking a chance, learning new things, and building something that could really pay off in the future. Plus, my family has been super supportive, and that really means a lot. They see the effort I’m putting in, and they're always encouraging me to keep going. If my friends see me putting in the work, maybe they'll get inspired to chase their own dreams too. It’s all about stepping out of my comfort zone, even if it feels a bit scary at times.

At the end of the day, I just have to focus on what I love and not worry too much about what others think. Everyone's on their own path, and I’m just here trying to make mine work. So, I’ll keep pushing forward, embracing the support from my family and friends, and showing up for my audience. Who knows? Maybe I’ll even inspire someone else to take their own leap of faith.

This is the spirit's forest ~blog~. Behind the mysterious haze of mist, you'll find the land most beautiful stars and lights ~writers recs, artists recs~, the path of Heroes, or Inspiration way.

Since the woods guardian is still very busy ~hardworking~, the spirit sometimes struggle to put her pen to paper. But she's trying ! She even started a book to write down her dreams and memories. Curious ? Maybe you'll be able to find it at the heart of the forest... Keep an eye open ! It may be hidden here or there, under a giant fern ?

Anyway, feel free to meet the guardian spirit ! Whether it be through inbox, messages, games, tags, comments... Even if she's a little shy and really busy, the spirit is always happy to meet new friends ! Don't forget : as long as your intentions are fair and sincere, you're welcome here 💕

Currently : in the forest ~on~ ✦ between the forest and the endless world ~on & off~ ✧ Retired, meditating in some unknown place ~off : back soon !~

I think a lot of witches get caught up in trying to fit into labels like “green witch” or “kitchen witch”. These labels are not bad and I think its good to use them as identities but they are not necessary parts of being a witch. Witchcraft is a unique path for every person and so labels come secondary. 

To find your path you must experiment with many things. Don’t do research on the types of witches, do research on the types of magic. For example, don’t focus on learning about sea witches, focus on learning about sigils and crystals and spellwork. 

Here are some good starting points for new or lost witches:

Meditation and grounding 

Sigils (using and making)

Crystals

Visualization 

Energy work

Divination

Here are some things you should wait until you have mastered the basics to attempt

Spells

Spirit work 

As you attempt various forms of magic, write down your experience in a journal or Book of Shadows. You can even use digital notes if that is easier for you. Take note of what you felt and what your results were. As you record your experiences you may notice patterns of what works best for you. Maybe your sigils are more effective than your crystals. Maybe you’re more skilled at energy work than spirit work. This will start to illuminate your path. From here if you wish to choose a label like “sigil witch” you may, but it is not necessary. 

Every path is unique so you cannot rely on others to find your path for you. It is through experimentation, research, and effort that you will become a full fledged witch. I wish you the best in your practice.
