Day 6: Iβve Always Wanted a Coven
When I was a kid, I used to secretly watch The Craftβyou know, that 90s witch movie that makes you feel like magic could be real if you wanted it bad enough. Back then, I didnβt even realize I was already feeling things... energies, shifts, intuition. I just thought I was weird. I didnβt know there was a name for it. I didnβt know other people could feel that too.
I've always dreamed of having a coven. Like, genuinely. A small group of people who just get it. People I could do rituals with, manifest with, charge our crystals under the full moon, talk about our dreams and signs and energies without judgment or second-guessing myself. People who feel like magic in human form.
But where I live, witchcraft isnβt really a thing. Itβs mostly people just going about their lives, beingβ¦ well, βnormal.β You know? Normies. And Iβm not saying that in a bad wayβitβs just, I havenβt found anyone who shares the same pull toward the metaphysical, the unknown, the energy around us.
Sometimes I walk past strangers and I feel them. Not in a creepy way. Justβ¦ thereβs this flicker of recognition in my chest, like they know too. Like weβre on the same frequency. And yet, nothing happens. No words exchanged. Just energy. And I get this gut feeling that maybe itβs just not time yet. Maybe weβre not meant to cross paths now. But I feel like those people? Theyβre my people.
I yearn for a coven. A real one. A chosen family of the spiritually sensitive. The in-betweeners. The people who feel too much and say too little because the world doesnβt always understand us.
Today, it hit me again. In college, I laugh and I talk and I blend in. But deep down, itβs like Iβm acting. Like Iβm performing βnormal.β And I know thatβs part of adulthoodβfitting in, being functional. But thereβs a difference between being functional and feeling like you belong. And lately, Iβve been feeling the weight of not belonging. Not truly. Not soul-deep.
Sometimes I stare into space and just wishβwish there was someone beside me whoβd look at the same moon and feel the same kind of magic. Someone whoβd say, βHey, letβs light a candle and talk to the universe tonight.β
I believe theyβre out there. Somewhere. Maybe reading this post. Maybe walking past me again tomorrow.
If you're out there⦠I see you. I feel you. And I hope we find each other soon.
