Before anyone asks don't worry about the fish it's holding its breath 🙄. This quote is often attributed to Theodore Roosevelt although he probably wasn't the first to say it.
Ladies, as we go into 2025. Something I want us to keep in mind is that you are in charge of your experiences. The birthday that you want, the Christmas experience that you want etc. You can’t keep waiting for friends to throw you a party or celebrate you the way that you want. You can’t wait for people to give you the Christmas or whatever celebration that you want. We are the adults now and even if you aren’t grown it’s up to you to take charge of what you want. Whatever experience you want create that for yourself and run with it!

If you follow as a practitioner of Pop Culture Paganism, a user of Homestuck inspired Chaos Magic, or just want to use your favorite series to inspire you throughout the year, Skaia Temple is your resource center!
Whether you want to just celebrate it on the day, use it as a date for empowered energy, integrate it into your more mundane celebrations, or just appreciate your favorite characters and concepts this month, we have suggestions for whatever path you want to take with us!
Read below the cut for a condensed idea & resource list for this month of Life!
Aspect Centered
Celebrate the Aspect in all its glory if you’re all about on celebrating the Festivals for exactly what they represent: The Aspect and all the traits associated with it.
“If you’re poisoned, chances are the Life-bound have something for what ails ya. This applies to both physical and mental suffering, though it might not be a cure you’ll like.”
Life is about care and improvement. But never at the cost of your real needs- if you spend all your time giving love and attention to the lives of other people, you’ll eventually become bitter with the lack of attention to your own. However you decide to nurture your environment, make sure you’re taking care of yourself as well.
Take some of the things you planned in the season of Hope and make sure they include some pressing self care matters as well. If you’re all good, be a support for your friends and those important to you. Take all the care you can manage to nurture yourself and make you healthy and happy to go after the Life you want to lead.
This month is for living it.
Magical Inspiration
If you want to use Homestuck concepts more abstractly and need some ideas for what brands of magic would work best for the season, if you have an Aspect or character-themed spell, feel free to send it in so it can be added to this section!
Life is different for all of us. We all have different paths, blockages, and goals. Homestuck meanwhile is a story about many very different children growing up in a world that is challenging them. Use their endurance, beliefs, and mistakes to help get your through your own journey.
Divination can be a good thing for this time, use it to check out what options you have or avenues your best be focusing on that will lead to your best benefit. Sympathy spells as well to help out those around you if that’s what you’re ready to focus on. What ever you do, make sure you have cleansed, purified and grounded yourself to be in the best condition you can be right now.
Check out what the Zodiac signs the moon is in this month to help yourself plan!
Here is a Feferi-inspired healing ritual. And here is a cute infograph on the effects of the Life aspect
Integration Route
For people in the broom closet who are too timid or anxious to celebrate the Festivals openly- you can always integrate the Aspects traits to fit in with the more common trends and holidays of the month. Not even Hussie is is Homestuck God, no one will mind!
March is Womens History month, along with March 8th as International Women's day, a good time for any female-aligned practitioners to flaunt your pride! Support each other and all you’re capable of accomplishing.
Fandom Driven
For if you’re not all about spirituality or routine and just want to enjoy going all-out with a beloved story & characters, you can honor the ones of this month by driving full-throttle on the fandom bandwagon.
Life is the Aspect for the Peixes. Strong, beautiful girls with big personalities and bigger dreams. They let nothing stand in their way, and cut loose of anything that tries to hold them down! Their Life is theirs to do with what they see fit. Use this positively and do something that helps -------EV-ERYBODY!!!! 38D
Its also the Aspect for lovely lovely Jane Crocker. A varied example of the Life Aspect. In one timeline she gave up all the opportunities in front of her for a shot at peace and justice for the world she loved most, and even as she settled into a quiet, non threatening Life with a family of their own, she embodied a strength of a seasoned old Nanna we all wish we had. In another timeline then, where she’s allowed to go after what she wants full force, her issues lie in trying to remain passive and without arguments. Then there's that timeline where she becomes a ruthless dictator. And another where she goes through Lesbian boot-camp? And ANOTHER where she overthrows a ruthless dictator???? Jane is a Character and that should be Appreciated.
Draw art, write fic, and post analysis’ for these strong, inspirational, and deliciously savage women! But please be considerate and don’t like, destroy the entire human race to do it though.
We hope you got some ideas for activities you can do with your friends or otherwise use to inspire and better yourself this month. Everyone plays the game of life differently, and everyone's beliefs are their own. Celebrate yourself as you see fit, and Thanks for Playing with Us.
