Today at noon I was the Wedding Officiant for Sarah & Jon’s Solstice Wedding at the Fitzgerald Lake Conservation Area in Northampton, MA. It is the first wedding I have performed since I moved to MA. Mazel Tov! I wore Holly in honor of the Holly King,

So, I have ADHD, and it can definitely make Paganism and witchcraft a little hard sometimes, so I compiled a little list of ADHD witch tips. 1. Use that hyperfocus to your advantage. If you find yourself really interested in a certain pantheon or really excited about a spell or something, don't hold yourself back. Make sure you don't get so invested in the thing that you forget to eat/drink/shower/use the bathroom, but feel free to spend a day just researching something. 2. Don't put things off. When I was a baby witch, I saw people saying that witches should spend several weeks working on a spell before doing it. I song recommend that for ADHDers, because after a few weeks, your focus will have wandered and it will be really hard to put enough energy into the spell. I usually spend a few days to a week working on a spell, and it's more than enough time. 3. Make meditation more fun. I know perfectly well that it's pretty much impossible to sit still in silence for more than five minutes when you have ADHD. Listen to calming music or a meditation podcast while meditating to make it a little easier. If you get a really bad urge to move, it's okay to shift around a little. Drinking a cup of coffee beforehand can really help. 4. It's okay to take breaks. Sometimes it's hard to stick to things when you have ADHD. If your path starts seeming monotonous and boring, it's okay to take a little break. 5. Accept that some things will be too daunting. You'll see witches posting seemingly amazing accomplishments in the astral world or with tarot or with their knowledge of crystals, and you may feel like you aren't enough of a witch because of how impossible these things seem. ADHD can make things feel like such huge tasks that sometimes you might not be able to do things that you wish you could in your path. I'm not saying not to try to learn how to do these things, but don't beat yourself up if it's too hard. 6. Use representations in your spells. It can be really hard to visualize if you're an ADHDer. If you're casting a spell on someone, as an example, use a poppet to represent them so you don't have to work as hard on focusing on visualization.

Homeward bound from the OBOD winter gathering on day 343 of #365daysofkitchenwitchery and the part I was most looking forward to was a return to hearth, to complete the family with this beautiful little cattington. One of the reasons we were apprehensive about getting a pet was how often we go away to conventions, gatherings and other such events. But we now have a great cat-sitter who comes in, feeds the nimkit and plays with her so she has a spot of company. Yes it costs money but it’s worth it so we can do the things that feed our spirit and the Bob doesn’t get neglected. So on our return we found this delightful gift from our lovely cat-sitter and then not long after that Nimbob was savagely attacking Santa. Business as usual again, hearth and home complete. #kitchenwitchery #catsofinstagram #oagan #spirituality #nimrodel https://www.instagram.com/p/BrN7NzRn6-d/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=94gjngnybdow
