Day 6: Iโve Always Wanted a Coven
When I was a kid, I used to secretly watch The Craftโyou know, that 90s witch movie that makes you feel like magic could be real if you wanted it bad enough. Back then, I didnโt even realize I was already feeling things... energies, shifts, intuition. I just thought I was weird. I didnโt know there was a name for it. I didnโt 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 isnโt really a thing. Itโs mostly people just going about their lives, beingโฆ well, โnormal.โ You know? Normies. And Iโm not saying that in a bad wayโitโs just, I havenโt 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. Justโฆ thereโs this flicker of recognition in my chest, like they know too. Like weโre on the same frequency. And yet, nothing happens. No words exchanged. Just energy. And I get this gut feeling that maybe itโs just not time yet. Maybe weโre not meant to cross paths now. But I feel like those people? Theyโre 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 doesnโt always understand us.
Today, it hit me again. In college, I laugh and I talk and I blend in. But deep down, itโs like Iโm acting. Like Iโm performing โnormal.โ And I know thatโs part of adulthoodโfitting in, being functional. But thereโs a difference between being functional and feeling like you belong. And lately, Iโve been feeling the weight of not belonging. Not truly. Not soul-deep.
Sometimes I stare into space and just wishโwish there was someone beside me whoโd look at the same moon and feel the same kind of magic. Someone whoโd say, โHey, letโs light a candle and talk to the universe tonight.โ
I believe theyโre out there. Somewhere. Maybe reading this post. Maybe walking past me again tomorrow.
If you're out thereโฆ I see you. I feel you. And I hope we find each other soon.
