For those who’ve
bought the journals and saved the prompts,
but still pause at the threshold.

It’s not that you’re afraid of the dark.
It’s that you remember how deep it goes.

Shadow work is real work.

You’re Not Afraid of Shadow Work, You’re Afraid You’ll Break Without a Guide

But the truth is: You’ve always had the strength. You just need a ritual that honors it.

That should be on a t-shirt! So true. Thank you for sharing. 💜

I'm not familar with Robert E. Howard's work but this is spot on.

All of us do feel a pull to something greater and evolve through it whether that be enlightenment or hardship.

Thank you for sharing. 💜

Your practice is first and foremost for you. It doesn't 'need' a reason but I am always interested to get peaks into the perspectives of other witches cause there is so much diversity so thank you for sharing. 💜

This aligns with much of my own motivations for magick. Union with the sacred through cycles of reflection, transformation and illumination. Thank you for wording it so well, khthoniaa. 💜

Winterlady, I love this answer. Gratitude is the foundation of all relationships and is the best place to start with any kind of practice. Thank you for sharing. 💜

If you had to pick one reason you practice magick, what would it be? #WitchSky #PaganSky #OccultSky

Witches do magick, yes, but they are also knowledge-keepers and wisdom-workers.

Science, art, philosophy, mathematics, literature, sociology, and more—these disciplines are all relevant to magick.

Be voracious in your quest to learn all that you can about reality. 💜✨️

Trance isn’t leaving the body, it’s syncing with it.

The breath becomes a tide,
the heartbeat a drum,
the mind a still pool.

When you start to sway,
when time goes soft,
you’re not drifting away.

You’re tuning in to the quiet current beneath everything.

The First Quarter Moon reminds us: spells don’t live in journals, they live in action.

If you’ve been holding back, waiting for the perfect time, this is it.

October opens the door. Light the candle, speak the words, move the energy.

The Moon has already said yes, now it’s your turn.

Life is in full swing for me right now so haven't been online as much as I would like Gibran is pretty niche.

I have never read Rumi but have seen his quotes in many places. I will add him to my never ending reading list, lol!

Mother Moonlight @mothermoonlight.bsky.social · 10d

There are few books I have re-read as much as this one. I have a hard time adopting all of the wisdom, but the reminders are valuable just the same.

I'm glad someone else on witchsky recognizes it. 😊

"A voice cannot carry the tongue and the lips that gave it wings.

Alone must it seek the ether. And alone and without his nest shall the eagle fly across the sun."

- The Prophet, Kahlil Gibran

Today’s tip: Aleister Crowley once said, one needs to be a skeptic outside the circle but a believer within. You can accept that magic is real without losing your grounding in everyday life.

When emotions rise
like hidden tides,
don’t fight the undertow,
let it pull you toward what needs transforming.

To walk in balance is to remember that every harvest needs both sun and rain.

As the wheel turns and shadows stretch, may your altar be rich with autumn’s gifts and your spirit warmed by the hearth of community.

Blessed Mabon. 🍂🍷

I’ve been savoring urges this day, leaning into beauty and pleasure before turning toward the balance of myself and home at the Autumn Equinox.

Treat yourself with the same devotion you offer your deities.

What we savor is as vital as what we store.

Rest is sacred.

The Moon does not
shine every night,
it wanes, it darkens, it disappears.

In her silence, power returns.

So, too, in ours.

That looks wonderful! That's going to be a rewarding journey.

I definitely passed out on you last night so apologies, but good morning. Happy Moonday 💜

Mother Moonlight @mothermoonlight.bsky.social · 25d

That is a profound perspective. He is my little moonbeam absolutely and when he isn't happy, I can't be happy either. Just emotions are simple for him and complex for me...we will get there with time. Thank you for your advice, Winterlady. 💜
