I hope your weekend is full of all of the good spookies & none of the bad ones 🖤

Absolutely - given some other hints, I think I now know who is trying to introduce themselves. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with me!

Absolutely keeping this in the bag of possibilities! I've never had a synchronicity storm with a plant, much less a baneful one before, so this is new territory for me.

I need some help, #witchsky. I've been having a lot of Datura encounters/synchronicities & I'm wondering if there are any specific goddesses with an affinity there? Other than a list of every moon god/dess, I mean. 😅

I've never minded sharing my space, as long as it is done respectfully ❤️

I have a very simple philosophy: if we're going to survive fascism, we're going to need a lot more pie.

You too, my beloved friend! ❤️

I'll never forget that moment. It was the biggest lightbulb!

I used to think it was normal to suddenly feel wildly irritated for no particular reason. Then I found out I was #autistic & someone handed me noise canceling headphones for the first time. Sensory overwhelm is one of those things you'll never naturally suspect b/c you grow up knowing nothing else.

You deserve all of the love and happiness in the world. I'm so happy for you 🥰

Ok hear me out: many #autistic folks like me struggle w/ hyper-empathy to the point of it being disabling. We also know that autistic brains undergo less rigorous synaptic pruning in childhood than allistic brains (we literally have more neurons). What if this is because we have more mirror neurons?

FWIW, I couldn't have gotten through it either without you. I'm so sorry for everything it cost you. Do what's right for you and find what brings you joy 💓. Your people will be behind you, whatever that is!

Thank you! I had a lot of fun making it 🥰

First spread of my new grimoire is done and I'm so proud 🔮🥰

A grimoire spread for Samhain, featuring history, rituals, correspondences, and other information against a black and purple Gothic style

Not exactly the most *ethical* man, but how fascinating are his stories to read?!

Don't get too caught up in trying all aspects of witchcraft at once. Pick up a few books that broadly touch on divination, spellwork, astrology, deities etc. and see what inspires you. It's perfectly fine to try one thing at a time and pick and choose the pieces for your own unique practice ❤️

One estate sale at a time! You'd be surprised how many gems you can find 🥰

Ahh that fills my heart 💓
