✨Welcome to my whimsical & witchy autumn blog✨

🍂I'm Llyrian, I'm 32, live in Switzerland & am a piercer & japanology student

✨Seriously, if you‘re an antivasker, don't believe in science, are a terf, exclusionist, homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist in either direction &or agree with views like those, don‘t follow me or bother trying to interact, when I see that stuff you're blocked anyway, I'm bored of your pathetic opinions✨

🍂I love autumn, whimsigothic whitchy stuff & baking, so my blog is mostly centered on those topics <3

🍂If I'd have to use a witch-label for myself I'd say Harvest/Autumn witch & Kitchen witch would be most fitting 🍁🏡🍂🌾

🍂I currently live in the suburbs, but I'm planning to live partly self-sufficiently, in a coop with our friends in the future, ideally somewhere on the countryside🌾🍁✨

🍂All posts that have witchy or other content are tagged, autumn posts aren't (since I post so many of those it'd be overwhelming! (: )

Where my craft is at right now

So, obviously we all know how shitty things right now for everyone in different ways. I lost my job to Covid-19 which has left me in a very uncertain place. I feel now more than ever the pull to ask the universe to help me out, but even so my craft has been suffering; my energy just feels so low that anything seems a lot. I stick mostly to tea spells and things of that nature, and the quarantine lets me work on my grimoire a little more too.I didn’t really have the energy or the privacy I wanted to do the full Ostara ritual(s) I planned, so instead I did a tiny little prosperity spell by planting this magic bean kit I got from Flying Tiger a long time ago. I asked the little bean to bring me prosperity and stability, visualising the energy of the sun while I mediated on it briefly. I’m hoping this will bring me some peace of mind. 

I recently ‘came out’ of the broom closet to my boyfriend, who was very chill about the whole thing. He just kind of went ‘oh cool okay’ and that was that. I’m so glad he was supportive, but even so I still feel uncomfortable being my full witchy self (which currently isn’t much more than how I am usually but you know what I mean). I’d still feel a bit silly making a little tea spell in front of him or reading my tarot while we’re chilling in the same room. I think that’s because I know he shares a few of the same scepticism I do sometimes - in that, I’m still struggling with the spirituality of witchcraft. I’m atheistic, and I don’t really believe in spirits, so I’m not really sure how I believe magic works. Also seeing things like ‘tiger’s eye is good or X Y or Z’ and ‘rose quartz for love’ I’m still thinking ‘how? it’s a stone!’ - maybe crystals just aren’t my thing. 

I made a charm bag last month to help with an upcoming difficult conversation (created by the wonderful Witch of Wonderlust on YouTube, check her out) with the accompanying spell and it really did work. I’m just not sure how, and I don’t really like not knowing, but I’m not sure how to find my way to knowing, if that makes any sense. It would be nice to find a local coven or person to mentor or guide me but I don’t think that’s an option at least for a little while.

Hoping everyone is staying safe is these crazy times - call your loved ones, wash your hands, stay sane <3
