@michaelblackthorn.bsky.social touched on it the other day: Witchcraft is in the DOING. Never stop reading and taking in new perspectives and thought, but there is no substitute for the knowledge gained by experience. A witch cannot find their craft if they do not work it.

For me, intuitive thought generally shows up as fully formed. It's a complete concept that pops in, vs thoughts my brain takes time to process and develop, where I'm forming the idea myself.

This year I'm taking inspiration from the Becoming a Shepherd ritual from @tempuraapples.bsky.social Year of the Witch. The week prior I will have picked up my order from a local native plant seller, and the Equinox will be spent in ritual with those plants to settle them into the land.

Oooh, def interested in hearing how you like this one. I'm unfamiliar with the author.

ABSOLUTELY love to work with Blackberry for protection.

YES. For the love of all, please tell your ingredients what you're asking them to do! 👏👏👏

YEEEEESSSS I used to do a blend for cleansing, blessing, and uplifting that was a lovely morning ritual! May be time to revive that now that mornings are warming up...

L.O.V.E. how you stated this.

1. As the toxic, manipulated, excessive, or corrupted expression of the upright. What we might call the unhealed aspect or shadow side.

2. As a sign that this is a personal or internal obstacle. (2/2)
