Winter transitions into Spring 🌷 The text reads:

He wakes, melting snow reveals a robin blushed chest, in his arms he bears a bouquet of sleepy tulips, healing from Winter’s last icy kiss. He forgives his thawed chamber, now nothing more than a pool at the edge of his memory, for its guiding hibernation taught him the true warmth of the sun. (MMXXIII) Hail Spring; his radiance in full bloom.

I've been working on summer, but she isn't ready yet. Hopefully she will be by the end of August! In the meantime though, spring is available as a print in my shop.

Random witchy thoughts that have been rattling around my head...

These are in no way fully thought out, but if anyone wants to talk about this my asks/dms are open

Maybe it's just not talked about, but I feel like perfume/fragrance (or lack thereof) is underutilized in glamour magic in that I think putting a metaphysical/literal cloud around you could punch up any glamour working your doing. Fragrance could also be used in poppet creation or tag-lock creation too because some scents can be so closely associated with a person (think like someone's 'signature scent'). Scent memory/associations are so strong so I feel like it could pack a wallop magically. Implementing personal care products/makeup/nail products are also common and easy glamour magic (I've had a hair care correspondences post in my drafts, but a lot of hair maintanance products can be used as foundations that can be built off for glamour work).

If you want to incorporate certain types of magic easily, I've found putting charms and/or sigils on clothing/accessories/jewelry to be a really easy way to incorporate magic into clothing. I have certain items/charms that are on me most of the time when I go out, but you could also pretty easily sew things into the lining or pockets of an item for easily concealed magic. You can even make small bottle spells in bottle charms and attach them to necklaces/other accessories (just be careful of not breaking the glass)

I also like incorporation of crafting or mundane skills into your practice. I can really only utilize knitting/crochet, but other skills would be really useful for magical purposes. Off the top of my head, I can see crafting skills that make to be really helpful (like anything from fiber arts to carpentry to book binding to metal smithing). Embedding things with magic or making them more suitable to use within your practice by adding touches of yourself/work you can do makes it even more tailor-made and special to me.

If you're feeling burnt out but still want to engage with your magical practice or want to expand your practice in a relaxed/pragmatic way, kitchen witchcraft is a great place to start. Every culture has meanings/connection to food, a lot of ingredients are (hopefully) easily accessible, it's a great way to learn to cook or improve your cooking, and you have to eat anyway. There are also a ton of resources online and in magic-themed cookbooks if you want to go a more structured route (hell, I even put up recipes sometimes). I've also seen people create/strengthen relationships with plant allies through cooking, so that might be something you could pursue if it's of interest to you.
