#witches diary

I was given the 2023 Witches Diary by Kate Peters and Barbara Free as a Christmas gift. I love the art work and it’ll help me to align my craft with the moon cycles. It’s great for a scatter brain like me lol for example, I completely forgot that it’s a New Moon today. 🤦🏻‍♀️ happy Capricorn Season!

A very late litha witches diary!

Hello my witches and other magical beings! How are we all doing?

Between lots of studying and a visit from my nibling, I completely to forgot to post what I did for litha. But time is an illusion and so I will do it now :)

The Friday before Litha I made myself a flower crown out of all my plants and already blooming flowers. So of course I wore it on Saturday. Since most of my free time is still focused on studying, I just wore my crown while learning.

But I started the day with music and tea and a little fae offering. I put honey and flowers and nurs into an empty cleaned out eggshell, since I placed them at a public place this time. Dressed in flowy clothes I went out into the pouring rain.

I placed it in between a public flower field, that Is always so beautiful and full of love that there has to be magic involved.

After that I went to buy groceries and studied afterwards for a couple hours. When I was done I put on some witchy make up and went out to another public place that is blooming like crazy this year. Usually public events are held there but with the Rona going on, it’s free to be a beautiful flower.

So I took a walk and picked myself some flowers. (In the end I was allergic to them and they triggered my asthma. My mom got them)

Back at home I danced and I ate and I watched TV before taking a ritual bath like always. And I lit my beautiful diy sabbath candle

The next day I baked some litha honey cakes and Spendt some amazing time with my bro, my sis in law and their child.

And as always: my altar

This time i placed it at my window, between my plants, because it felt right to do so. It was focused on the sun and one of my favorite colors: yellow. A couple days before I DIY-Ed the sun symbols out of salt dough. Usually I hate DIY-ing and I’m not very good at it. But something about the sabbaths just makes me… not care. I love having things for my atlar and I love doing them myself and pouring my engere in it.

So that was my third sabbath celebrated during corona and I gotta say, I’m getting used to it. It’s still fine and I mostly have very nice days.

As always, be blessed and feel free to reach out to me.

Love,

Witches diaries - quarantine Beltane edition

(CN: very brief mention of solo sexual activities)

Itttts the second sabbath I celebrated in quarantine. While I was quite depressed at Ostara I somehow had the time of my life celebrating Beltane. Even tho I was so sad a week ago. While I usually practice and celebrate alone I a) like combining the sabbaths with a nice bar visit and b) i thought Beltane would be perfect to connect with other witches and pagans in my area. Back in damn February I googled what events i could attend.

But well, life went differently and so my plans changed accordindly.

I started with sleeping in (since May 1st a holiday in good old Germany) and started the day with some nice eggs and a cup of loose wild blackberry tea (I’ve got it from a subscription box called witches casket). After that… I had to learn. Not hard stuff, but just lots about how to manage your workers and stuff.

After that I… cleaned my flat and kitchen. Grown up stuff, ya know? But then the celebration finally started! I lit some candles and diy-ed a tiny little maypole, as well as prepare my fae offering.

I gave it and then a nice salt-honey-showergel cleanse and a ritual bath with a nice rose bathbomb, some lavender and dried flowers. And of course high intensity witchy music. At that point I lit a candle that burned the whole evening and followed me through my flat around. That just felt nice :)

After that it was time for dinner and step 1 of making lavender lemonade. Then I ate my spaghetti. Yummy.

Then I did my witchy make up and hair and outfit! It felt so good! I didn’t make myself up like that since the beginning of March when i went to a Alice Cooper concert.

Now it was time to finish that lemonade and DAMN it was good! I mixed it with a strong white wine and it was finally time to really start this parttyyyyy. I lit lots and candles, turned up the music and… danced! And danced and danced and danced! (Until my asthma acted up lol)

A quick reading of my tarot cards and more booze and alcohol. (And a little sexy time but I will not talk more about it lol)

Now it’s the next day, I’m tired, my arms and my legs hurt and my flat is chaos. And I feel so great and full of energy. I still have my music turned up and just start dancing despite the pain! I haven’t felt this good since… at least the start of this quarantine! Wuhu!

And now of course, as always, my altar:

I think it turned out nice! Especially for the fact that it’s completely made out of things I had at home. Once again a tiny maypole, red and white candles and a flower crown I made last year. And… as a little sexual joke I put a condom and a necklace formed as vulva on it. (I got it from an amazing Berlin based artist. She is very outspoken about trans rights as well). I also put on sun and moon water. (Oh and a baby picture of my new family member. It’s the white square)

And… yeah. That was my amazing lonely Beltane! I hope yours was nice as well. Reach out to me if you want to talk or anything!

Love,

Witches Diary - Ostara - depressed Corona edition!

Hello my witches! I hope all of you had a nice Ostara. Like always I wanna share how I celebrated this sabbath… but it’s 2020 and corona is making life extra hard. So of course that changed things. Shout out to my spirit guide that gave me the irresistible urge to do my Ostara altar as soon as mid of February.

So let’s get started:

While I’m not leaving the house cause I have issues with my immunsystem, i have the privilege of having a garden on the rooftop that I’m allowed to chill at. So I’ve been spending time there. Under the beautiful bright sun I took care of everything that didn’t survive winter as well as read and see the now leafs coming

Also the last days I’ve started planting!

Safe to say my flat doesn’t belong to me anymore but to my plants. And I’m fine with it!

After therapy I draw sigils on the egg shaped candles. It was quite the mess. I enjoyed it!

Since I have a new tattoo I didn’t take a cleansing bath and after a very upsetting situation with a friend I didn’t feel like doing anything else.

And I think that is more than okay. It’s shit times but at least I have time and since I feel better today I will do ma witchy shit today!

I hope everything is safe and getting some happiness in. Pls remember to be easy on yourself and think of your community!

If you are lonely, just hit me up and we can talk on discord or something!

With great love,

Sunflower 🌻

I just want to leave everything behind and go settle down in a cabin in some far off country in the woods. I want to practice witchcraft on my own, but have the chance to connect with others and practice with them here and there too. I just want to be free of the position I’m in now and just live peacefully for a while.
