I’m going to the conservatory and the zoo tomorrow; treating myself like a blue-haired senior who needs to be bused from her retirement home to on weekends for cultural enrichment.

notbecauseofvictories

I made this post two years ago, and nothing has so meaningfully improved my life as “treat yourself like a senior citizen and schedule some enrichment.” I have an honest-to-god enrichment calendar now. It exists specifically as a place to put all the stuff that I might want to do on a random evening or weekend. And I read local papers a lot more, searching for things to do, smaller events that are more up my alley or offbeat street fests that I wouldn’t know about otherwise. (Side benefit—I know a lot more about local reporting too.) It doesn’t matter that I put plenty of events on the enrichment calendar that—because it’s on a Wednesday, because I’m tired, because the planets are in the wrong position—I don’t go to! The point is not create an unbending obligation that will haunt me to my grave; the point is to pay more attention to the world, and leave my apartment to join it sometimes.

I also encourage further seniormaxxing by looking at the adult education classes in your community. Pick up a new crafting skill, do a little yoga, just get your inner pacing tiger out of its cage!

The kitchen witch

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

In a cozy kitchen, warm and bright,

Lives a witch with magic light.

Her cauldron's just a well-worn pan,

Her magic scents the room's expanse.

With wooden spoon, she stirs the pot,

Her magic made from what she's got:

A pinch of thyme, a dash of sage,

Her ancient book, a weathered page.

The garlic cloves, the onion sweet,

Transform with her, a witch's treat.

With every chop and slice she makes,

A charm of health and joy awakes.

She brews her potions, teas of gold,

In porcelain cups, her tales are told.

A simmering broth, a bubbling stew,

Her incantations hidden in the brew.

Her broom, a simple sweeping tool,

Clears away the mundane and the cruel.

With every sweep, a spell is cast,

To cleanse the space of shadows past.

Her apron, tied with care and love,

A talisman of warmth, thereof.

Each thread a stitch of ancient lore,

A tapestry of those before.

With salt and sugar, flour and yeast,

She conjures up a wondrous feast.

Each bite a blessing, each sip a song,

In her enchanted realm, we all belong.

So in this kitchen, magic thrives,

In daily tasks, the spell survives.

The kitchen witch, with humble grace,

Turns home into a sacred space.

𓃶 Hearth Magic 101

⛤ Please note!!! this post will contain my personal gnosis at some points. Magic is intimately personal and everyone’s practice is different. You may agree or disagree with me at any point during this post. However, while I am sharing this to be educational, please keep in mind that this is my personal outlook on this subject ♡

𓃶 What Is Hearth Magic?

Hearth Magic, at its core, is magic of the home. This kind of magic differs greatly between families, cultures and traditions. When starting Hearth Magic, you must take a moment to really think about what home is to you. Your hearth can be anywhere, but generally, the hearth is seen as a place of comfort, growth, and rest.

Taking care of your home has always been important and even sacred for many people. Taking care of it magically is just another way of respecting this place that takes care of you. Your home is somewhere that protects you and those you invite in. Personally, Hearth Magic is almost like showing your gratitude to this familiar place. I would suggest doing research into how the home is taken care of in your own cultures, or watch how others in your life take care of their home and take notes!

𓃶 How can I Practice Hearth Magic?

Just like any kind of magic, Hearth Magic will be something you incorporate into your practice in your own ways. To get started, however, here are some things you can do to:

⛤ Get into the habit of cleansing your space. This can be your whole home, or just the one specific place you consider the hearth (a bedroom, living space, kitchen, fireplace etc). You can also cleanse while doing day to day chores! incorporate moon water or intention while washing dishes, or do an herb sweep when cleaning your floors. Brooms are also important magical tools!

⛤ Try a house or home blessing/spell. For me, I made a large spell jar and incorporated ingredients commonly used in my family’s cooking, our yard, and local herbs/herbs we use a lot. This can be used as an invitation for positive energy, or a ward against negativity. This will really help set the energy of the space.

⛤ Start incorporating magic into your cooking. Kitchen magic is an easy and convenient way to keep your life a little more magical. Try adding herbs to sauces with intention, or cook in honor of spirits or deities. Easy foods to incorporate kitchen magic into (at least personally!) include sauces, soups, baked goods, and pasta dishes.

⛤ Start to decorate your home in a way that makes you happy. This doesn’t have to be any specific aesthetic; just making your space somewhere you enjoy being through decor adds to the energy!

⛤ If you like spirit work, consider the possibility that, if you live in a house, there may be a house spirit attached to the space. This can give you an extra opportunity to connect to this space and the spirits within it by honoring this entity.

☾༺♰༻☽

⛤ In all, Hearth Magic can be a very grounding and important part of your magical path if you plan to practice it. It allows you to really grow in a familiar and comfortable space, as well as providing you with a comfortable place to come back to every day, even for mundane life. ♡

I love how ppl just do this sometimes to their potential ancestors. In the 25th century my descendants are gonna dive into old records and find a selfie of me, photoshop cybernetics onto me, and say I had the perfect face for being annoying about how it felt uploading my brain to the SolarNet while wearing stolen techpriest robes

utopians

Martinez is from San Ildefonso Pueblo in northern New Mexico.

There's some truly amazing craftsmanship in New Mexico that goes unappreciated for a number of reasons.

saltynoobles

New Mexico Pottery is in a league of it's own due to the history of Native People in the region. I joke about hating it here but honestly the history and culture of New Mexico cannot be found elsewhere. Support local artists here always.

I hate when I say things like "oh I want an ipod classic but with bluetooth so I can use wireless headphones" and some peanut comes in and replies with "so a smartphone with spotify?" No. I want a 160GB+ rectangular monstrosity where I can download every version of every song I want to it and it does nothing except play music and I don't need a data connection and don't have to pay a subscription to not have ads and don't have popups suggesting terrible AI playlists all over the menus.

Gimme the clicky wheel and song titles like "My Chemical Romance- The Black Parade- Blood (Bonus Track)- secret track- album rip- high quality"

OMG! I thought it was going to be a message about perseverance or it never being too late to follow your dreams, but nooooooo. This is excellent storytelling.
