🌱 reclaiming the quiet life 🌱

As a witch deeply linked to nature in my practice, I'm thinking a lot these days about trad wives on the internet trying to "claim" what has always been ours: a close relationship with nature, the connection to spirituality, a calm and quiet life...

If you're like me, a witch loving her home and family, but holding a lot of disgust at the repressive and morally conservative values of the trad wives era, please know that you are not alone.

And it's time to reclaim what's ours.

Things that look trad-wife but are actually witchcraft (to me):

🍞 Baking your own bread - kitchen witches already know it; kneading is a moving meditation, fermentation transformation magic.

🌽 Canning and preserving the harvest - especially relevant as we're approaching Lughnasadh on August 1st. It's all about gratitude magic, storing abundance for the dark months, working in rhythm with the Wheel of the Year.

🌞 Drying laundry and herbs in the sun - this is all about solar charging, gathering strength and energy from one of the most important deities. More on solar magic here.

💐 Flower arranging with what's blooming nearby - working with each flower's magical correspondence (protection, love, clarity), casting spells by mixing special kinds together.

💕 Caring for others - historically, witchcraft practices have always been used to help others (to cure them of diseases, make them feel loved and seen, and more).

🧹 Cleaning your home - it's not just about clearing out the dust, but it's deeper than that. Think about cleansing rituals, banishing negative energies, clearing the space...

⁀➷ I'm not writing this to gatekeep, but to remind y'all to enjoy your practice without feeling the shame of trad/repressive values. I wrote a whole essay unpacking this on my Substack, give it a read!
