I have a post up about how to practice Abundance Magic as a Buddhist Witch. Hint: It’s not prosperity gospel in Witch drag.
Plus, a spell for subscribers.

“Buddhist Witch” might sound like a contradiction.
But karma, the Bodhisattva Vows, and the Dharma all show up in my spellwork as magic rooted in ethics, interconnection, and vow.

I did my love spell during a Libra moon, which is ruled by Venus. But if you're calling in love now, the upcoming New Moon in Cancer on June 25 is a beautiful time to root in care, belonging, and a love that feels like home.

I Did a Love Spell—And It Actually Worked

I cast a spell, not to control love, but to welcome it. Here’s the story. And the ritual.

I watched the new @netflix.com doc about Titan: Oceangate, the Titanic submersible that imploded a few years ago. And it has me thinking a lot about a larger cultural pattern that destroys truth-tellers. Charisma isn’t wisdom. Confidence isn’t care. And power will gaslight you if it can.

“Silence will never be the way.” Not when genocide is happening. Not in the name of the Dharma.

I recently attended a powerful online gathering about Buddhist complicity, Gaza, and the vow to speak even when it’s costly.

"For me, my Higher Power is the Dharma (the Buddha’s teachings), the moon, the elements, the ancestors, the web of interbeing. I found sacredness in zazen and spellwork, in shadow integration and ritual offering."

You know when you love something enough to stay with it, even after it’s broken your heart? That’s me and Zen.

I write about betrayal, sangha, and ways to find a community where truth is welcome and practice doesn’t require silence around harm.

You’re probably not smudging, so stop calling it that. If it’s not your tradition, there are better ways to name what you’re doing. I’ll explain--
✨ what smudging actually is
✨ what smoke cleansing can be
✨ how to practice with clarity + respect

“No” is a boundary. “F*ck this” is a spell.

Let’s talk about anger as sacred fuel, about what happens when we stop performing grace and start protecting what’s sacred.
⚡ why anger is holy
⚡ how “no” is a form of clarity
⚡ when walking away is spiritual power

NO Is a Powerful Spell. So Is FUCK OFF.
