✨Gritty Grace's Gallant Trials✨
I'm trying something new for the coming week. After being so disappointed with my productivity, plus the mental rust from research papers that were more convoluted than necessary (in my opinion), and a therapist who's been relentlessly supportive of my need for control--here's a little layout to test out a theory.

jan Week 01 - Journal Activity (day 02)
What do I believe in?-
I believe in the shifting energy of the world, the elements and their balance kept on this world. The nature spirits and all the unseen people under the hillsides. I believe in the spirits of all things. I believe in the Vanir, and their guidance and stories. I believe in the beauty of nature in all its forms at every seasonal turn and the power in all those seasons. I believe those we have lost are not truly gone but carried with us in our memories and speaking with them is near rather than far. I believe in the under-workings of the world, the voices of plants and stones, the souls of animals and the wisdom they all have to share if we care to listen. The bones of the earth rattle with teachings welcoming any student of the green path.
What defines my witchcraft?-
Respect for all things. Respect for things misunderstood by humans, not seen or heard, but felt. My witchcraft follows the seasons and draws its inspiration from plants mostly. I work with the seasons and reflect upon how plants are doing at every turn of the wheel and aspire to be like one in my craft and studies and work. I theme all my spells after reflections on nature more than just plants. I feel the weather in my veins and I feel the spirits of all around me and work to respect them. I do not invoke deities but rather speak to them as friends and as people worthy of upmost respect. I care for things around me and in great compassion there is change, and change is a large theme of my witchcraft as all things are constantly changing, I wish to hang onto the reins of this constant shift in my craft and reflect outward what I see and experienced inward. I follow the stars in all they speak and teach also. Balance. Nature driven. Astrology driven.
What do I feel comfortable doing?-
I feel comfortable in all workings with spirits and the respect we owe them all, of lost ones, the plants, the stones, the animals, etc. I feel most comfortable doing workings in protective magic and in motivational, inspiring magic. I work the most comfortable with fire and earth magic. I work with air and water too but it is not my closest elements. I try to balance it all though as that’s a large theme. I see air and water as teachers, whereas earth and fire are home. I am comfortable with cartomancy more than any other divination but also work with pendulums and scrying from what I see in nature around me. I draw hints from the world around me and all the nudges it gives. I illustrate and paint and allow the energy to flow throughout me when I make things in my craft, I metabolize my experiences best through art so it is a large part of my craft. I am comfortable reading the energies set by the stars and our place in the rhythm of the universe (astrology) and I am comfortable speaking to plants and working with them as friends. I am comfortable contacting the deceased and leaving them offerings. I am comfortable working for the Vanir and speaking to Freyja the most. I am comfortable cursing, hexing, and jinxing those who require a slap from the universe, safely so. Typically I am doing this for abusers and harmers, as they need the balance of the universe to fall upon their heads. I do it as a form of protecting future victims as a survivor myself.
What are the rules of my practice?-
Respect all things. Do not invoke or treat deities like spell ingredients, they are people and friends to be had and respected. Respect the spirits of nature around you and do not do anything to harm them. Respect animals as they are wiser than any human could potentially be. Respect your fellow human and hold community in an important place in your heart, do all you can to foster and grow that community with your practice. Give love freely. Know your worth. Fight for what you love. Give without expecting receiving immediately. Tread carefully and thoughtfully in this world as something is always living and sharing space with you. Respect the turning of the wheel and the power of seasons. Respect elders. Help others learn where you can, kindly so. Being soft is not a weakness but a strength. A warrior’s path is that of knowing when to fight and when to seek peace. Your heart is on your sleeves or not at all. Do all things with passion or not at all.
What won’t I do?-
I will not invoke deities as “ingredients” in spells, this is an ultimate disrespect. Nor will I summon the deceased as ingredients is just as bad to me. I will not draw blood for offerings. I will not expect anything but rather keep open to the possibilities. I will not give up!
Deities-
Freyja is who I am closest to, we have been friends since I was 15 and she guided me along my path to begin with. I found witchcraft first and then after a few months I found Freyja. She spoke to me when I read about multiple pantheons in a large book at the time and we have been inseparable ever since. I have a lot in common with Her and have always felt loved by Her in return. She teaches me and is also a home. I gather hints and signs from her in my day to day life. Her falcon cloak has been lent to me in dreams multiple times. Her wisdom is what I follow and learn from daily. I eventually met the rest of Her family 5 years ago, the Vanir, and now work specifically with the Vanir as a Vanatruar. Freyr Her brother is my second closest friend of the Vanir.
What drives my magic?-
The desire to learn, the desire to respect others, the desire to find my place in the world, the desire to be one with the seasonal shifts, the desire to shift myself into what I could potentially be, and to aid others in all I do. I wish to learn from nature and become nature as we all eventually do become it once again some day. The desire to not be forgotten drives my magic too. I am here and I will experience this life in the fullest form.
Do I understand my own magic? Can I explain it?-
Yes, my magic is that of balance with nature and seeding one’s self within the cycle and working alongside the rhythms of the universe to exercise my strength and power in the ability to change the world around me by changing myself first. I follow the guidance of plants and seek their wisdom in all I do, along with the wisdom of animals and nature in general. I carry a great respect for all things and in doing so, I give to them and hope to be able to be a student forever. My magic gives back to the world that gave everything for me to be here. I seek out cycles of ebb and flow like this in my magic as it reflects the world around me.
