This one time I was brewing beer with my buddy Khonsu when a scorpion bit us!
I've been encouraging my cat Phoebe to work on her art project. It's really coming along

Witches and magickal folks:

Do you write about your experiences, whether journalling, blogging, poetry, other?

How does writing about it impact your magickal practice?

I had some time to myself today, so I went to the cow place 🐮

If you’re having a rough night… know you’re not alone.

When you’re dealing with chronic illness, the isolation and abandonment can wear you down.

People expecting you to say you’re “fine” when you aren’t can wear you down.

The pain & fatigue can wear you down.

You’re wonderful. Just as you are
Nobody is more dramatic than me having a slightly busy day
🧙🏻‍♂️: Do you want some energy?

👨🏽: Lmao, no

🧙🏻‍♂️: Iris, are you sure you don't need a little energy? Just to survive?

👨🏽: Nah, I'm good. I'll just lie here, plastered to my bed, feeling impossibly weak 👍🏽

#ChronicIllness
It's wild that I can hear when my neighbour sneezes or when their baby's crying, but they can't hear me talking to my cat or singing "Hit Me Baby One More Time" in the shower
👨🏽: Ah, there's nothing quite like meditation

🤨: Iris, you planned a whole new book in your head while sitting in lotus position. That's not meditation.
I broke down my altar into two and made an ancestor altar in the living room.

It's basic and doesn't really sing to me right now. I'll work on it. I'll spend some time sitting in the vibrations.

Having altars all over the house sounds awesome!
Witches and magickal folks: If you have an altar, where in your home is it?

I'm reading a book that says you absolutely should not have an altar in your bedroom (Guess where mine is 😬)

I might have to move my altar or maybe have two different ones???

#Witchsky
I don't think that's necessary, thank you
🤨: Iris, did you...?
🤷🏽‍♂️: START WRITING THE NOVEL OF MY HEART, YES!

#Writersky #WritingCommunity
I need advice:

How do you start writing about (fictionalised) lived experience? I want to write the novel of my heart and make vulnerable art, but I don't know where to start

All my fiction before now seems so remote from my own experience. Help!

Phoebe has discovered the spare bedroom. She is spending #Caturday on her own. I'm slightly offended :(

The bonnet is cute! If I could get a beret that fit this well, I'd wear it all the time
My magickal set-up is changing subtly. Still a focus on crystal balls. Now I'm centering a picture of the ancestors

I feel like I haven't posted in a while. This is because I have a separate account for writing stuff and my soul is, like, 97% writing.
Well done! Have a wonderful birthday! 🎈🎉🎈🎉
🎅🏿🎁🎄 It's the most wonderful time of the year...🎄🎁🎅🏿

That's right! It's UK Black History Month. Unironically one of my favourite months. Woohoo! Black history!
