so I'm afraid of bugs, like genuine phobia, screaming fit that makes my employer think I'm being attacked level fear.
However I am also an educated adult and practitioner of witchcraft who is damn well aware how important bugs are both to our way of life and the planet as a whole.
You can be afraid of something and still understand it's value and want it protected.
So yes I will rescue that spider rather than swat it. It's small but it eats so many pests
I will free the moth that's been stuck indoors flying after a lamp. Its a pollinator, we need those
I will free the critters and take them back outside.
I'll just scream like a banshee while doing it.
This is what witchcraft is to me, small acts of courage and compassion.
Throwing starfish because you never know how it might change some one or somethings life.
Small things are everything. They are the foundation I build my practice on. Small acts.

Hearth witchcraft starts with physically cleaning your space. Doing so begins the process of spiritually cleansing your space before you have even used a single witchy tool.
adapted from the hearthfire energy-drawing ritual from the house witch: your complete guide to creating a magical space with rituals and spells for hearth and home by arin murphy-hiscock.
this ritual is great for after a really draining day or experience, and the cauldron version is also related to other contemporary cauldron of poesy rituals.

hearthfire transmutation πͺ
initiate a basic light trance or meditative state, with whichever technique you utilize (e.g. breathing, mindfulness, humming, etc.).
visualize (or an alternative practice) your spirit-hearth, which is connected to your home-hearth. visualize it with a fire of some kind lit (including a candle, oil lamp, etc.).
visualize holding your hands out near the flame, and feeling its heat. imagine energetic bonds forming between your hands and the flame. imagine energy polluted with negativity flowing out of your left hand and into the fire, and fresh hot energy like lava flowing into your right hand, through your arms, chest, and entire body. this polluted energy is transmuted in the flame.
continue until you feel energized throughout your body, then move your hands away from the flame and place your palms together.
thank the spiritual hearth for this energy exchange. ground with a few deep breaths before opening your eyes.
cauldron transmutation π΅
initiate a basic light trance or meditative state, with whichever technique you utilize (e.g. breathing, mindfulness, humming, etc.).
visualize (or an alternative practice) a cauldron of cool water imbued with healing, comfort, and serenity.
visualize placing your left hand into the water, and expelling energy polluted with negativity into the water, where it immediately dissipates into nothingness. place your right hand in the water, and visualize blue, serene energy flowing from the water into your arm, to your chest, and throughout your body. this polluted energy is transmuted in the magical water.
continue until you feel energized throughout your body, then remove your hands from the water and place your palms together.
thank the spirit cauldron for this energy exchange. ground with a few deep breaths before opening your eyes.
for the first time ever, i celebrated something with queer, witch community. we lit a hearth together and performed a release and manifestation ritual together. it was beautiful. it was the community i have yearned and prayed to Hestia for, for so long. I am so grateful to my Lady for guiding me here.

What an exhausting week. I need to remember that I may be mostly recovered from burnout, but I still need to manage my spoons, largely to avoid a relapse.
I had planned to go the gym today, but I don't think it would be good for me. Which is frustrating, I want to exercise more and get stronger and fitter. But I won't be strong and fit if I burn out.
So instead, today I will do some gentle housework and otherwise rest.
Feta and courgette fritters for dinner, looking forward to that!
