The Magic of Eggshells — A Return to the Practice I Almost Lost
I’ve been saving eggshells lately — which feels like the smallest thing, but somehow also the most symbolic.
Springtime Journaling Practice
Self-reflection is always a key place to start with your esoteric and mundane work. There is immense value not only in clarifying your intention, but in knowing your inner landscape. Here are journal prompts themed around the season of spring to bolster your practice.
Brewing by Intuition: A Lesson from Huckleberry
That’s often how intuitive work begins for me: a pull toward a plant, a memory that surfaces, or a sudden taste on my tongue that I haven’t had in years. It rarely starts with logic, but with a kind of nudge to pay attention.
Returning: The Journey Back to Self
When your inner voice is repeatedly questioned, minimized, or treated as indulgent, you learn to override it. Not because you stop believing in it, but because listening begins to feel unsafe. I know many women carry versions of this story — where intuition, creativity, or spiritual curiosity became inconvenient or unwelcome inside a relationship meant to be loving.
Love Spell
Love has always been magical—but not because it can be summoned on command. Its power comes from presence, reciprocity, and choice. This Valentine’s season, may your magic begin at home, in the quiet recognition that you are already worthy of the devotion you seek.
Thrifting for Magical Items: A Witch’s Guide to Secondhand Sorcery
Image is of a thrifted crystal ashtray used as an offering bowl.
There is something unmistakably enchanted about a thrift store. The narrow aisles, the mismatched shelves, the quiet hum of stories woven into objects that have passed through other hands. For many witches and magical practitioners, thrifting isn’t just a way to save money — it’s a way to build a practice rooted in intuition, history, and sustainability.
Rowanberry Cordial & Witchcraft: A Forager’s Tale From the Mountain Ash
For as long as I can remember, I believed Rowanberries were poisonous — completely inedible. I grew up with that assumption, and no one around me contradicted it. Bright red berries almost always come with warnings, after all.
But when I posted a photo of a tree heavy with fruit, one of my dad’s old high school friends messaged me and said:
“You should make cordial out of those!”
Witch Wounding and the Spiral Path
Many women will recognize this without needing it spelled out: when your knowing is subtly dismissed, when your interests are framed as impractical or indulgent, when the things that light you up are tolerated rather than respected, you learn to shrink them. Not consciously. Not dramatically. Just… enough to keep the peace.
Over time, that shrinking becomes habitual.
Yule: The Long Night and the Twelve Days of Renewal
The longest night of the year has arrived. Yule, the winter solstice, invites us into darkness — not as something to fear, but as a sacred pause. It is a night that has been honored for centuries, long before modern calendars, before the rush of gift lists and bright lights. The world slows. The sun retreats. And in that retreat, there is space for us to breathe, to rest, to reflect.
Divination: Reading the Language Between Worlds
At its heart, divination isn’t about predicting the future. It’s about tuning in — to patterns, to energy, to intuition — and allowing symbolic language to speak back. Think of it as a conversation between the conscious mind and the deep field of possibility that surrounds us. The tools differ, but the impulse is the same: to understand, to orient, to connect.
✦ At the Edge of the Veil✦
Samhain (pronounced Sow-in) marks this turning point. It is the witch’s New Year — a threshold between the light half of the year and the dark. Across cultures, this season has long been recognized as a time when spirits walk more freely, when ancestors draw close, and when we are invited to pause and listen.
