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.
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

My neighbor's yard lights are so bright that most celestial phenomena are hard to see, but last night's harvest moon brought the SHINE! It was so bright two nights ago that there was a nighttime rainbow (didn't witness it personally but it's so cool knowing such a thing can happen!)

For 8 years now my work has been inspired by @aidanwachter.bsky.social's "Six Ways" style of magic, as well as @tommiekelly.com's Forty Servants system, mixed with various other influences. In the last year I've been exploring witchcraft as its own distinct expression... 🧵 #witchsky

I know that a lot of people see the Four of Pentacles as miserly, but protecting your resources isn’t necessarily greedy or “closed off.” I like to look at it as putting on your own oxygen mask first. You’re more effective at helping others when you are in a stable place. #witchsky #tarotsky

Spent some time in the woods today. Came home with so many good sticks. 😌 #witchsky

Leftover wax goes into new candles. These are spiced cider and woodsmoke scented, and I’m so happy with how the color turned out! Orange + purple apparently DOES make darker orange! Yay for color theory. 😄 #witchsky #craftsky

Tea blends I picked up at my local occult shop a couple of days ago. Haven't tried the Persephone blend yet, but it smells like pomegranates (naturally). The Black Rose is just *chef's kiss*

Also, I'm digging the vintage autumn tablecloth I recently thrifted! #witchsky

I’ve been out of town for a witchcraft retreat over the weekend and got home today. It was… a lot. Still processing. Happy Autumn Equinox, friends. 🍁🍂 #witchsky

On Wednesdays we wear black 🖤

I’m fortunate enough to have an early typewritten and photocopied edition of his Pagan Rituals book, it came to me through a friend many years ago. One of my most cherished books.

Last fun project of the day! Broke out my sewing machine, blew off the dust and made a drawstring bag for tarot cards. It’s lined with the same fabric because it’s all I have atm. 😄 Ordered cord so when it arrives I can finish it. Pretty happy with how it turned out! #witchsky #craftsky #tarotsky

It's either this or a hoodie and leggings. There is no in between.

This morning I’m drinking cherry blossom green tea from Harney & Sons, and reading “How to Kill a Witch” by Claire Mitchell and Zoe Venditozzi. I am a witch but my ancestors in Fife during the trials probably weren’t—this is for them. 🎀

Three of Cups is coven energy to me. I feel lucky to have found it last year in a small coven of like-minded crones. Aching hips might render our dancing less graceful than it used to be, but you can believe we still raise our cups! #witchsky #tarotsky

If you're nice to a crow it might bring you shiny gifts. If you're mean, not only will it hold a grudge, it will tell its crow friends and family that you're dangerous, and generations of crow society will harass you if you dare show your face. This is the Justice card to me. #witchsky #tarotsky

It seems everyone wants to be an expert, or feels the need to be an expert. I’m definitely not an expert on tarot, I’m still learning. My draw this morning seems to be encouraging me to embrace the childlike joy of doing something for its own sake. #witchsky #tarotsky

The Wheel of Fortune turned up this morning, and interestingly there were a lot of conversations about big changes coming at work today. It feels like I’m moving up but someone I enjoy working with is moving down. O Fortuna! #witchsky #tarotsky

Ace of Swords, my card of the day. A reader I like says this card holds a need to speak our desires out loud, clearly, using our voices. This resonates with me because of the card's correspondence with Air, breath, and with the very old idea that we create our reality with words. #witchsky #tarotsky

Picked up this book recently and am making my way through it. I have no attachment to being psychic but it’s an interesting read so far, and well-written. Would love to hear what others have gotten from reading it! #witchsky #tarotsky

My card for the day this morning. She has come up a few times recently, but today I’m feeling her deep in my bones. #witchsky #tarotsky #pagansky
