hello friends!
this account is to keep track of information. most of that information will be about spells, herbs, stones, (etc). I also may share the occasional picture of animals or art now and then. If you're into witchcraft and 18+ maybe consider giving me a follow and I'll follow back :)
it’s time to look at some photos of pikas carrying plants and flowers in their mouths
I’m glad romance isn’t dead. At least, not if you’re a fuzzy herbivorous lagomorph.

Write your Witchcraft
The thing is, we change. We are not the same person we were five years ago. Hel, a lot of us are not even the same people we were last week. We change, and our beliefs, favourites, thoughts and the way we see ourselves changes with it.
The same is true for our witchraft, religion and spiritual beliefs. This is why I have a list of question that I like to answer for myself every couple of years. I first started this when I came across a list of questions by Juniper from Walking the Hedge (site no longer in use) in 2008, yes, over ten years ago. Every few years I filled in the questions and looked back at the answers I gave before. Some never changed, some changed quite a lot.
When our coven started a new lesson plan, I gave out the list of questions as well. We sealed our answers in envelopes and plan to fill them in again, once we finish our lessons. Then open the envelopes and look at the answers side by side. To see how we have changed.
I looked at the list last week and found it actually lacking a bit. The questions were very deity- and spiritual based, so I was missing some more questions about my personality and witchcraft. So I decided to make my own list of questions!
Since I wanted to make this more a weekly journaling/grimoire prompt for myself I put together 52 questions. These can be answered weekly (maybe every year) or you can work through the list in one go and repeat that every few years or so.
Some notes on the wording: I consider myself both a witch and a pagan, but to keep it easier to read I only used wording like “witch” and “witchcraft”, they can however be substituted for “pagan”, “paganism” or even “my path”, should that fit you better. When I talk about “sacred space” this can both mean a ritual space like a temple or casting of a circle, but also just your home or outdoors witchy environment.
I’d love it if you would tag anything you feel comfortable with posting online with the tag #writeyourwitchcraft!

I love my *job*. Its rewarding, creative, and I genuinely like the people I meet there.
HOWEVER, the ordeal of work, of *labor*, the 40 hours a week, the waking up on certain hours, the fact that I HAVE TO BE THERE or else I cannot pay for my necessities or live my life, is a nightmare I would rather not partake in.

Recognize that I could be the eye
The eye of the storm”
I’m slowly becoming the person I should've been a long time ago.
🎵 Music in Witchcraft 🎵
I love music. More and more, I have been including music in my practice of witchcraft, simply by having a song in the background while cleansing or making kitchen magic, and singing or humming particular melodies in the shower, when I perform a spell or a ritual, etc. If you’re interested in music witchcraft, here are a few ideas to get you started.
–
🎵 Singing out loud is a really powerful practice that can help when performing difficult spells, or rituals that are energy-draining.
🎵 If you’re uncomfortable with singing, humming a melody is a good alternative. I love humming a simple, happy song while cleansing my home.
🎵 Charge your crystals, magical items and plants with soothing, dramatic and strengthening music.
🎵 If you can play any instrument, include them in your practice - by playing before, during or after your daily practice, for instance.
🎵 Sound playlists have their own power, especially if you’re working with the 4 elements:
🌱 Earth: listen to forest and nature sounds
🔥 Fire: listen to fire crackling
🌪️ Air: listen to birds chirping
🌊 Water: listen to ocean sounds and waves
🎵 Make very specific playlists on Spotify ; e.g. “Songs to dance around in your room by yourself”, or “Songs to listen when you’re angry about the world”. Having songs that reflect your feelings will be incredibly useful and can make you feel less alone in your happiness / or in your pain.
🎵 Bring back your inner child by listening to nostalgic playlists of songs that came out when you were 5, 10, 15 years old.

Here’s a great Spotify playlist with witchy music, if you’re interested.
I fucking HATE what we have to do for money. I hate capitalism. I hate that we have built entire systems worshipping numbers that don’t fucking mean anything. I hate living in a world where these figures can be the difference between life and death. I hate that these numerical values are how we measure our worth. People kill for money, they work until they can barely stay standing for it, they debase themselves to the point of dehumanization just to earn a little extra. I have lost a disgusting amount of time, energy, and life to the mandatory pursuit of money in order to survive and exist with dignity. I’ve had enough.
