Contemplative, cheeky, occasionally calamitous chaote crone... and CATS!

Witchician. Sorcerista. Unapologetic neologist.

Loving my life in the PNW. Longtime magical practitioner and spiritual seeker. Occulty woo woo is my jam.
Happy Samhain, friends! Today I'm thinking more about the spirit(s) of my house. It was built 100 years ago this year, and has changed hands a number of times--I'm only its most recent resident and steward. My plans for tonight include some divination around what it should be called. #witchsky

Witch Tip: As with art, in magick, the process of creation is just as important as the final result.

In front of my house there are two ornamental hawthorn trees. Not long after moved in, I dreamed someone was tearing them out, taking them from me. At some point I started making offerings to them (and those that live in them) on full moons, and we all seem happier for it. #witchsky

This house, which I bought 4 years ago, has healed my heart. Never have I lived in a place where I've felt so *held*; it's waited patiently for me to work through what I needed to work through. It has seemed alive since the day I moved in; I think it needs a name. Maybe it already has one. #witchsky

When I make oils or other things for magical work, it often smells... not great. Not all of the needed plant allies smell good, alone or together. There seems to be an idea that magic should smell pleasing and look nice, but I've not found that to be the case. It's magic, not aromatherapy. #witchsky

Your content is your craft.

A post can be an offering to the universe.

In a world of filters and over-curated feeds looking to impress, do everything possible to remain authentic, grounded, encouraging, and magickal.

:For many of us who are Pagan, animist, or simply allergic to traditional, institutional religion, ‘spirit’ isn’t abstract. It’s the breath, the land, the weather, the ancestors, the gods (many, one, or none), and the living web of relationship." - Cosette

Had a really intense (but amazing!) ritual with my coven on Sunday and have been processing it since then. We're a fairly young group and experiencing some growing pains, but when things come together they *really* come together. I'm so grateful to have them, and our group, in my life. #witchsky

I practice magick, but I don't call myself a witch. Let's talk about it.

What labels do you use to describe yourself and your practice?

Sometimes I have dreams that I'm so in love with someone that I wake up heartsick and missing them. Not even people I know. This is a recurring theme that's surfaced many times and I've come to attribute it to my higher self. Anyone else have dreams like this? How do you interpret them? #witchsky

New book day! (Like so many other days, but still!) I’m impressed by the design on the edges of the pages. So lovely! Looking forward to reading it. #witchsky #booksky

Every time I post videos or am interviewed about witchcraft, people comment that I didn‘t do enough to explain what witches *believe.* Good thing I wrote a short, accessible book all about why that’s sort of a weird question: bookshop.org/p/books/witc...

This year's astrological date of Samhain is Thursday, November 6, 2025. I prefer to celebrate Sabbats on their fixed date, which is October 31 for Samhain, but it's still good to know alternative days.

Let me the first to warn you that sometimes witchcraft looks like cooking meth #witchsky

Or you look like you're on meth.

Woke up to someone saying my name, then went back to sleep and had misty, nostalgic dreams of people and places from my past. I might need to go walk around in nature for a while today. #witchsky
