Spellcraft Saturdays: Putting the “Craft” in “Spellcraft”

There are always a ton of people asking for spells, or asking someone else to cast a spell for them. Part of Witchcraft, however, is empowerment and empowering yourself to make changes in your own life. So, I thought it might be a great idea to discuss how to craft your own spells! It is […]

Lessons Learned

A (Typical) Day in the Life of a Parent of a Child with Autism Manoans and I went through an absolute rollercoaster over the last couple of weeks, and I wanted to talk about it here, as I feel it’s an important and teachable moment for other parents in our position. Nearly five years ago […]

Don’t Fear the Retrograde

I see so many posts around the time that Mercury starts its retrograde, and everyone seems to just freak out about it, honestly. Your computer is on the fritz? Mercury’s in retrograde! Your tarot deck exploded while shuffling? Mercury’s in retrograde! Your toddler wouldn’t listen to you and threw another tantrum? Mercury’s in retrograde! But […]

Making a Yule Candle

For when you don’t have the ability to burn a full-on Yule Log! Please forgive me, I know this post is a wee bit late, but I still wanted to share it with all of you! The history of Yule is a long and rich one. There are so many legends and beliefs from so […]

My ACOTAR Season 1 Dream Cast!

I know I’ve been posting a ton of Witchy content lately, so, today, I thought why not dip our toes back into the book-ish content? And what better way to do that than to freak out about the Hulu ACOTAR adaptation? I am both beside myself with excitement, and absolutely terrified, of this adaptation. ACOTAR […]

The Lunar Eclipse: Why People Say You Shouldn’t Charge Your Crystals During an Eclipse

First, let’s take a look at the general metaphysical properties and energies surrounding a full moon and a lunar eclipse, and then let’s take a brief look at the specific energies surrounding last night’s lunar eclipse. Again, there is some debate about this, and, again, it’s mostly because each individual’s practice is extremely unique and […]

The Lunar Eclipse: Should You Charge Your Crystals Tonight?

Here’s something that everyone is talking about right now! Should you charge your crystals, create moon water, and start manifestations during a lunar eclipse? The popularity of this topic is because there is a full moon occurring tonight/tomorrow (11/18-11/19/2021), which also happens to be a lunar eclipse. The lunar eclipse began at around 10:02 pm […]

As the Veil Begins to Lift…

I felt such a sense of gratitude and triumph two weeks ago. For literally months, my altars for my deities and my ancestors have stood neglected and empty. I had not the energy, and perceived that I had not the time to worship “properly.” The candles were cold, offering dishes stood empty, and incense ashes […]
