I'm officially out of the broom closet with my conservative evangelical grandparents. This should be really fun given their reaction to me wearing a hijab (🙀) while traveling in Muslim communities in southern Tanzania for work. #witchsky

GUYS. My last products came in the mail and they look SO GOOD. So I decided to do a Black Friday launch! I'll offer one-time boxes, a 3-month package, & monthly subscriptions. Purchases on Friday will get an extra crystal & handmade bookmark! More details/pics very soon 👀🥰

I'm launching a fun & witchy subscription box soon and I can't wait to share it with you all! It'll involve a personalized monthly #tarot reading, a ritual or spell, & a crystal specific to that month. It should go live in early December, just in time for gifts 🎁

Taking a big leap of faith & going to an in-person Hekate coven meet tonight. I'm walking in close to blind, so here's to hoping I don't inadvertently walk into a sex ritual 🤞🏻 (no judgment if that's your practice, just not my vibe!)

Do you ever feel, like a plastic bag

Lord, I can't change
Won't you fly high, free bird, yeah

I have a theory that the best predictor of long term relationships is whether your partner supports your changes or clings to a static version of you. When I met my hubs, I was* straight, neurotypical, atheist, wanted kids, & my biggest focus was a high-powered DC career.

How many of my fellow AuDHDers would rather sleep on the floor than in a bed? I L♥️VE snuggling my hubs, but my dream is having a separate bedroom with no bed & a big floor space with lots of pillows and cushions. How many of us adhere to neurotypical sleep norms that don't work for us just because?

So, I've been doing shadow work for a month or so, reading, mediating, doing rituals, etc. A smaller yet important vice I'm working on is my impulsive book buying. This is extra hard because right now I'm going through a book every few days. Anyway, the deity I'm working with most is #Hekate... 1/4

Our grandfathers (Black, Brown, & White) who stormed Normandy would like a fucking word.
U.S. Coast Guard will no longer classify swastikas, nooses as hate symbols
The military service, which falls under the Department of Homeland Security, has drafted a new policy that classifies such items "potentially divisive."

I love this version of the meal left for Hecate.
Hekate's Deipnon, a meal left at the crossroads every New Moon for someone less fortunate to pick up. 🗝️🖤 Blessed Moondark, my loves. #witchsky

Sorry I've been so MIA everyone, my health scare has kept me bedridden and in a lot of pain. I finally saw my surgeon today, so it looks like surgery will be happening any day now! Please keep your fingers crossed & candles lit that the mass in my uterus is benign 🖤

Finding out you're #autistic can be so beneficial. In addition to helping you find community, gaining context for life experiences, & giving insight into accommodations to make life easier, there are physiological quirks to be aware of! The most interesting one IMHO has to do w/ medication... 1/2

This is likely going to cause a lot of flooding/mudslides, etc. but tbh I'm SO excited about what this is going to do for our winter waterfalls & spring superblooms 🌼🌸
