Leading the Witching Hour discussion tonight at Third Eye Creations in Holiday, FL!

Come talk with me about the need for critical thinking in witchcraft and paganism, and learn more about my new podcast: “The Light of Day: A Critical Thinking Podcast for Witches.”

The discussion starts at 7!

Got this on my car today lmao.

Respectfully, I do not, thanks. Christians, come collect your sheep. They be wildin’ out here.

Also, wondering if they saw the kidney donation decal next to my Hail Satan one. I’ve done far more Christian things than most Christians.

You can hear more from my conversation with Maya Amatvult of @critwitches.bsky.social on “The Light of Day: A Critical Thinking Podcast for Witches” wherever you get your podcasts.

You can also find a text version (and link to the transcription) on my substack: open.substack.com/pub/daylinam...
A teal to green ombré background with a quote from Maya Amatvult. It reads: “I really do believe it’s a witch’s prerogative to be part of the debunking of misinformation, to be part of naming the game that’s being caused by misinformation, by cruelties, even intentional cruelties, and intentional ones. It is part of a witch’s relationship to the world around them, to step in and say something for all of these things, but it is hard, and it’s a skill like any other skill that can be built up and needs to be practiced.” On the bottom left is the logo, a black witch hat with a press pass tucked into the brim. And it white text it says “The Light of Day: A Critical Thinking podcast for Witches.”

In January, I launched a substack to explore critical thinking, media literacy and more in witchcraft.

I just dropped a trailer for the podcast by the same name - The Light of Day. It’s on Spotify and w/in 24 hours will be everywhere else.

I hope you subscribe!

Love, love, LOVE my new nonbinary witch hat from Opal at www.fibermagick.com !

Isn’t the feather on the side super neat?
A non-binary person in a crocheted witch hat made with black, yellow, white and purple thread - the nonbinary flag colors. They have short blue hair and glasses and are wearing a black shirt that says “future ghost.” They’re outside their house because the lighting is much better.

Can’t hurt to add a little more good energy to the universe ahead of my bowel resectioning surgery Wednesday.
A candle spell featuring a black candle in a brass holder. It’s dressed with herbs. Two circular black and gold cards for healing and goddess are behind it.

Made some little spell bottles for “trinket trading” in case I’m able to go to the Renaissance festival again next month after surgery.

I’m not really a spell jar person for my practice but they’ll be super cute trinkets!
Tiny glass bottles with cork stoppers covered by orange, red and gold mixed wax seal. The bottles are filled with lavender, heather, myrrh, allspice, and citronella, chosen mostly for colors and texture variance.

I haven’t done a decent selfie in a hot minute but I was really feeling myself during a ritual over our very chilly weekend.
A close up selfie of a non-binary witch wearing a green flower crown, green shirt, and green cape. They also have green lipstick and black framed glasses.

Spent a cup-filling weekend with my covenmates with several rituals, exploration of various forms of divination, and fireside chats.

While I believe in the importance of staying informed about what’s happening in the world around us, it’s also important to protect our peace and bask in joy.

My first official Substack post is up!

I’ll be posting up to 2x a month on vetting information and tackling misinformation in witchcraft and paganism.

You can read it (and even subscribe for free!) here: open.substack.com/pub/daylinam...
An ombre teal and green background with the light of day black witch hat logo with a press pass tucked into it. The text in white says: what to expect from the light of day and daylina moving forward.” The subhead is “and how information vetting is not intended to diminish cultural and spiritual beliefs and practices.”

⬇️ Sorry, friends. Not everything is an omen. Sometimes a lighting strike is just a lighting strike. These are all tall buildings with lighting rods. It’s like going to a butterfly garden and thinking a butterfly landing on you is a sign.
A screenshot from witchthatwrites on threads: American friends: As much as I love a good display of an omen or messages from the universe, you’re seeing lightning hit tall structures because they are tall structures that have lightning rods & are struck by lightning often, as are most very tall structures But I’m fully with you on the vibes

I totally relate to new year journal paralysis! And for witches who keep a grimoire or book of shadows, the same paralysis applies.

So I commissioned a friend to make me a leather cover for a three-ring binder. I can add/remove/tweak/rearrange pages as needed and it’s gloriously freeing.
A black leather binder cover for a three-ring binder. It has a silver anti-possession symbol etched into it from the tv show supernatural. Yea, I’m a dork. Background is my Christmas tree with multi colored lights and ornaments.

So far I’m really impressed with the segments on the flaws of the law of attraction, the gender neutrality of the word “witch” and the ableist myth of health equaling spiritual purity.

Definitely adding this to my secular witchcraft Google doc I share with folks who need recommendations.
A light pink book. In black font at the top it reads, “Demystifying the mystical. The Quantum Witch. A secular witch’s guide to magic and the universe.” It has a beautiful illustration by Hollie Day of a green cup with a handle (sort of a hybrid between a teacup and a coffee cup) that has flowers, mushrooms, crystals and various science icons coming out of it, like a double helix and illustration of atoms. The bottom says M. Rivers in white. That’s the book’s author.

Another year of starting the new year sick, and another year where I won’t make it up til midnight, but the traditional black eyed peas are ready to eat.
A close up of a large black pot of black eyed peas with bacon. A wooden spoon that says “support your local witches” is being used to stir it.

Without downloading new pics, what’s your energy going into 2025?
A screen grab of Patrick Stewart as Captain Jean luc Picard on Star Trek: The Next Generation. He’s a Middle Aged bald white man in his red command uniform. In white text to his left it says, “It is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose. That is not a weakness. That is life.” It’s advice he gave to Data when he lost a game against a Strategema master, which led to an existential crisis as an Android who thought he couldn’t lose against an organic humanoid.

New pfp just dropped courtesy of @joerocks1981.bsky.social! I’ve got my witchy journalist icon of my dreams.
An illustration of the side profile of a pointy black witch hat with a curlicue. It has a teal band with a silver buckle and a pentacle button. A press pass card is tucked into the band and says press in red letters. Underneath the brim of the hat is the @witchyjournalist handle.

Now that I have my 2025 Year of the Witch planner by @tempuraapples.bsky.social, I’m taking apart the 2024 one.

The front and back covers have little pockets and I’ll be gluing these into my grimoire to hold little spell notes and things I don’t want to glue onto pages.

Waste not, want not!
Two identical front and back covers of the 2024 witch of the year planner with a blue, white and hold celestial theme and little pockets you can tuck notes into. They’re sitting on top of a black leather grimoire. On top of them and partially behind them is the blue and green 2025 planner.

Tonight during #WinterSolstice I’m celebrating the return of the sun, and a new year of light and growth.

Right now I’m focusing on honoring all the reasons that make life worth living to help sustain me into this next period of our lives.
A Yule altar on top of a brown hutch with drawers and internal cabinets. A stocking, Daylina’s first ever, hangs from a knob in the middle. The altar is covered with red, green, and white candles, and a faux Yule log that’s hosts 12 reality candles. A reindeer on the right holds more tea lights on its antlers and behind it is a femme, Yule version of the green man. On the right is a green Celtic knot advent wreath from Daylina’s grandmother.

Earlier this year I recorded an episode of @thetarotdiagnosis.bsky.social with founder and host Shannon Knight.

We discussed coping with the 24/7 news media - and finding the delicate balance between staying informed and protecting your peace.

You can find it wherever you get your podcasts.
A dark teal background with transparent office chair and desk. It says the tarot diagnosis, new episode, and now streaming in white font. In orange font it says coping with the news. In hot pink font it says a conversation with journalist daylina miller.
