About the Calendar Wheel

The image on this post is the calendar I made for 2025, based on my location in Boorloo (so-called Perth, Western Australia), on Wadjuk Noongar boodjar.

From the centre, outwards, you'll see:

The 6 Noongar seasons

The 8 seasonal festivals (I've used the common names for the cross-quarters, since I'll probably use this on my business socials)

The 12 months of the year

The 52-ish weeks of the year

The 365 days of the year

The new, full, and quarter moons for 2025

Depending where in the world you're from, you might also notice some things look a little different than you expect...

The wheel is arranged Southern Hemisphere sunwise. Because the sun skewing towards the equator at midday take it to the north, the sun's path over the course of each day appears to move counter-clockwise (because clocks were made based off northern hemisphere sundials).

The quarter-moon icons seem inverted, because we're viewing the moon from a different vantage point. Southern hemisphere moon phases look like:

🌘🌗🌖🌕🌔🌓🌒

Likewise some dates might seem a little off - Astrological events occur at the same instant, regardless of where in the world we are, but how we mark that instant on our calendar will depend on what timezone we're located in (and which side of midnight that timezone places us).

I'm located ~12hrs ahead of the Eastern United States, so a lot of the events above might be the date before for folks in earlier timezones (likewise for folks in Eastern Australia and New Zealand, a handful of events might be the date after if they're in the early a.m.)

[stormbornwitch]

So I made a community for Australian witches to join so we can talk about our practise in more specifics.

I would love to chat with other Aussie Witches!

Note: depending on where in the world you are, check legalities of harvesting or collecting samples of native plants - eg in most Australian states it's illegal to harvest native plants without a permit, full-stop.

Bonus note: if you live somewhere (especially outside of Europe) with a lot of introduced weeds: get to know them and their history!

I used to work as a bush care volunteer at my local botanical gardens at the same time as I was researching for my edition of Culpeper's Herbal and omg so many of the weeds (including a few invasive ones) were written about by Ol' Nicky! A lot were also discussed by Dioscorides and Pliny a good 1600yrs earlier!

So if you're feeling jealous that you can't just go out and wild-harvest herbs with a long history of use in Western medicine and magic... maybe start paying more attention to the weeds ✨

Witchcraft Exercise - Dig Through The Ditches

While we may not all be able to go for a woodsy hike to connect with our local land spirits and find wild herbs, there is always some sort of ecosystem around us. Making that connection and identifying useful plants can be done just about anywhere.

First, identify your region and find a field guide to the local flora. You’ll want something small enough to carry that has color photographs and detailed descriptions. Peterson’s Field Guides makes very good ones for the U.S. Publishers and availability will vary according to location.

Next, take a stroll! Visit your local community park or green space, or just check out the roadside weeds growing nearest your home. There’s always something. If you don’t feel comfortable lingering in one place long enough to analyze the plants on-site, take some pictures on your phone. That way, you can identify and read about them later.

Take notes about the plants you find. What are their magical uses? Is there any folklore connected to them? Were they ever used in medicine? Where where they growing? What sort of feeling did the plant give you (if any)? How do they fit into the local biome? Is it a native species, an introduced one, or an invasive one?

If you happen to find something that might be useful in your craft, you can go back and collect a small sample, provided the plant is not endangered or likely to harm you and is growing in a public space. (State and national parks do not count as public spaces. They’re great for pictures and study, but please refrain from collecting plants there.) When in doubt, leave it be.

I wouldn’t advise using roadside plants for anything you plan to ingest, but they’re still great for spells, offerings, and the burning bowl. A good rinse-and-hang-dry is highly recommended to make sure your specimens are as clean as they can be.

Make sure you label your specimen bundles and any jars you use for storage to make later identification easier. You can press leaves and flowers and tape them into your witchbook, or include illustrations or photos with your notes.

All of this will help you learn about and connect with the land around you, even if you live in an urban or highly developed area. The energy is always around us. We just might need to be still a while and look a little harder to find it.

Happy Witching! 🌿

ADDENDUM:

There are also plant identification apps like PlantNet, Plantifier, LeafSnap, iNaturalist, and SmartPlant that you can install on your phone.

If you’re enjoying my content, please feel free to drop a little something in the tip jar or check out my published works on Amazon or in the Willow Wings Witch Shop.

[books-and-strawberry-tea]

So I started The Coven yesterday, I’m only up to chapter 11 but idk….i can’t tell if the story is just amping up or if it’s just not the book for me?? I’m not sure honestly. Gonna keep reading to find out.

[justyouraveragefangirl1967]

After multiple situations in life made me step back my store is up and running once more and ready for business! There’s plenty of things to look forward to, but for now we have deity readings, we’re working to include jewellery and deity candles in the future and handmade rune set;

[vampfuzz]

[sl0wdiver]

Right come on then ladies let's be having some medals

[delilah2040]

So I’m pretty sure someone has placed a hex on me, I’ve had a lot of back to back bad luck, like especially in cases of love. (I’ve been ghosted like 7 times now in less than two years) the guy i was casually seeing ended things with me on the same day we had to put down my dog (I hadn’t told him abt that yet) and I’ve been sick every two weeks FOR two weeks since the end of 2021 🤡

If anyone has any advice on how to break this hex, if it IS a hex at all and how to draw more balanced luck, I’d REALLY appreciate that

⥉ About This Blog ⥉

Open to asks about my OCs, world lore, or just wanting to drop in and have a chat!

Mainly using this blog to share lore, snippets of my novels, things that amuse me and worldbuilding.

Current Novel WIPs:

Monstrum (Which, yes, is loosely based on my fanfic under the same name) A God who never wanted to be a God, sea elves, sapphic dwarven Goddess, polyamory is pretty much the norm, cursed tome that exploded a temple, MC works out he's a transman... What more could you want? Oh wait, there's one more thing: son of God who died multiple times and came back wrong each time, is currently possessing MC's meant-to-be-dead mother! Oops.

Quondam

Takes place centuries before Monstrum, when The Maker was only a sorcerer who wanted a better world... and now deals with the consequences of taking over as Sovereign of the World. Surely she can change her world without destroying it?

[Un-named]

Crash landing on a unknown planet, memories wiped... The A.I. with corrupted data, known as Thio, calls them Viator, but is that their name? Or a title? The only thing Viator knows is that they were thrown into a black hole... and now have a ship to fix, and to find civilisation.

In response to the 2 Ingredient Microwave Bread (ie microwave damper), I bring you...

Single-Serve Damper!

I haven't tried the recipe linked above to compare them, but any Aussie is familiar with damper - a settler/bush bread, traditionally cooked on campfire coals. Fairly dense, very basic, super-simple.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup self-raising flour

1/4 cup milk

Large pinch of sea salt.

You can make it with just the flour and water, but it's nicer with milk (I believe any kind will work) and a lil salt.

Method:

Pre-heat oven to 200°C (~390°F).

Add flour + salt to a small-ish mixing bowl.

Slowly add milk, mixing in with a knife, until it's all incorporated.

Roll into a ball and score the top (optional: makes it easier to cut/divide once cooked). Brush the top with excess milk.

Place on baking paper on a baking tray and cook for 20min - if you tap on the bottom and it feels hollow, it's good to go!

Tips:

Enjoy with latherings of butter and/or honey/golden syrup. Or use for offerings.

It's a blank canvas! You can mix in herbs, nuts, seeds, fruit, or whatever fits your needs, mood, or intentions!

[devildevotee]

i don't really talk about this a whole heap because i feel it's not the worst thing to experience in the world, but as an australian practitioner, it is isolating to be in the witchcraft community. i have seen barely anyone else who's aussie in my spaces, and almost every resource everywhere is based on northern hemisphere environments, plants, animals, etc. there is no easy way to being an australian witch, not in the same way as you would if you were in the northern hemisphere. usually you have to look very hard to find any kind of information about how to practice magic in an australian environment, and even then, it's usually likened to northern hemisphere counterparts. to this day i'm not sure if i'm comfortable with calling myself an "australian witch" purely due to the fact that this is ultimately what i have to pay for being on stolen land. and while i do reconnect with my italian-english immigrant background on a very intimate level, most folk practitioners DO advise me that folk magic starts with respecting what's immediately around you RIGHT IN THIS MOMENT. your environment, your community. i do not know how to connect with non-northern hemisphere plants. i don't even know what a kookaburra means when i hear it laugh (outside of being taught its folklore). is rosemary in australia more potent than its american counterpart due to the fact it's used in so much of aussie cooking? what about eucalyptus lollies clearing away any sinus issues? i wouldn't have a clue what anything means on a magical level. the point is, i want to connect not just with my ancestors, but with where i currently live. i feel i owe it to the land to incorporate it into my knowledge and practice and general love and appreciation.

anyway, rambling aside, i found this. this is still essentially "australian substitutions for northern hemisphere spell components" - but for what it's worth, it still helps to have some semblance of anything. i don't agree with every single comparison on the following lists, but for any aussie practitioner who happens to follow me and wants some way to connect with what they have available, this may be a good starting point for you. it's basic. really basic. and it's mostly just in relevance to a starting point in witchcraft specifically. but regardless, i hope it gives you as much hope as it did for me (all under the cut bc there's a lot of links). also to say the least i encourage individual research into folklore as well, it's stunning stuff. lastly, if you're from the northern hemisphere and happened to read this chonky post, thanks - i encourage you to learn about australia too, especially its history.

and lastly, i just discovered ayrmid sage. i plan to order some books as soon as i have the money, supposedly they're good.

Sigonia.

FULL NAME. Sigonia, Academy of Witchcraft. LOCATION. Gambiers’ islands. CREATOR. Medeia Grimsbane. OTHER TITLE. the pearl of wizarding society. SPECIALITY. having classes and education like university in the muggle world. HOUSES. the ambries, the begrims, the gisarme and the regma. OTHER SPECIALITY. having the complexity of two mottos: accepting everyone and creating excellence and prestige.STORY OF THE BEAUTIFUL SCHOOL OF SIGONIA.

genesis Medeia Grimsbane avait un rêve, celui de créer une école en hommage à sa mère, la défunte Ellenwell et que le prestige et l’éducation de la maison Grimsbane soient partagés avec ces élèves extrêmement chanceux d’accéder à ces opportunités. Néanmoins, Medeia, après avoir mis toute son âme dans la création de cette magnifique école cachée entre deux îles de l’archipel des îles Gambiers, pensa à son futur et quitta ses espérances professionnelles pour son grand amour, déménageant en France. Elle offre alors l’opportunité à sa grande soeur, Cedonia Grimsbane. La jeune femme acceptait le défi avec un plaisir et une excitation sans équivoque, malgré son deuxième mariage récent. Mais à peine quelques mois après cette responsabilité, et cette école qui commençait enfin à voir le bout du tunnel, Cedonia se donna la mort de façon aussi étrange que celle de sa mère, en laissant une perle de sirène à côté de ses affaires près du lac où Ellenwell s’était également ôté la vie. L’école était donc mise en péril face à ces péripéties tragiques et potentiellement radicales pour la réputation de la prochaine école de magie. Medeia n’avait encore moins envie de s’emparer du projet, de son rêve, car elle ne pouvait pas quitter son mari, et elle était bien trop perturbée par la mort de sa plus jeune soeur. Zander Grimsbane, le dernier fils de cette génération, pris alors la responsabilité de cette école. Zander n’avait ni enfant, ni partenaire, mais adorait partager son savoir. Qui de mieux pour mener à la baguette cette école de magie ? Sans mauvais jeu de mot, évidemment.

first steps Il n’y avait pas eu besoin de beaucoup de publicités pour que tous veulent que leurs enfants soient enlistés dans cet déjà célèbre institut. Après tout, la famille Grimsbane était considérée presque comme la famille royale moldue. Mais comment faire le tri ? Comment gérer cet afflux ? Et surtout, comment faire fonctionner et se faire une place aux côtés des autres écoles de magies qui regroupent, sur papier, tous les petit.e.s sorcier.es ? Premièrement, Zander et son petit cercle de personnes qui deviennent des professeurs par après ont bien vite compris que, non, les autres écoles de magies n’étaient pas suffisantes pour tous les élèves mondiaux. Une école magique en plus permettra donc d’amener de la légereté dans toutes les autres instituts. Deuxièmement, tout le monde peut être accueilli à Sidonia, mais le niveau doit impérativement garder de sa puissance. Pour cela, ils décident donc de mettre en place un concours d’entrée. Celui-ci n’est pas uniquement pour les capacités magiques, physiques ou mentales, mais aussi d’autres capacités, la place prise au sein d’un groupe, les réactions psychiques, la capacité à se fondre dans une société ou au contraire à se démarquer. Tout cela dépend de l’enfant, mais également des profils généraux des autres enfants. Tout a été fait pour que l’entente soit la plus cordiale possible.

welcoming Zander et sa petite équipe accueille donc une cinquantaine d’enfants la première année. Et tout se passe à merveille, ces cinquante enfants sont alors répartis dans quatre maisons, miroir de la célèbre école de magie, Poudlard, car tous les Grimsbane, à quelques exceptions près — Alastair et Daegal pour ne pas les citer, sont respectivement été envoyés à Durmstrang et Koldovstoretz pour “régler leurs problèmes”, évidemment, cela n’a pas fonctionné — ont fait leurs études là-bas. Il y a donc les Ambries, les Begrims, les Gisarme et les Regma. Plus les années passent, et plus les élèves sont nombreux, et Zander est réellement fier du chemin qu’il a parcouru pour ces petits sorciers qui grandissent sous ses yeux. Les deux moments les plus marquants pour lui étaient en premier voir ceux qu’il a accueilli la première année, des petits monstres d’onze ans, les diplômer sept ans plus tard. Le déchirement avait été compliqué pour l’âme sensible et protectrice de Zander, l’oncle que tout le monde adorait. Le deuxième était de voir défiler ses nièces et neveux. Le directeur Grimsbane n’avait jamais eu la prestance grâce à son regard noir, sa grosse voix ou ses punitions, non, il laissait cela aux professeurs qui faisiaent de l’excellent boulôt. Zander, lui, pouvait être sérieux, mais n’était pas le directeur sadique ou cauchemardesque.

classes and locations Les cours au sein de l’école Sigonia était relativement classiques, suivant le programme scolaire comme toutes les autres écoles magiques. Le directeur étant l’un des meilleurs joueurs de Quidditch de sa génération, ayant stoppé sa carrière à cause d’une malheureuse chute, le Quidditch est donc enseigné à Sigonia. Mais l’école se spécialise également sur une matière très importante, la maîtrise des quatre éléments fondateurs de leur magie; effectivement, des professeurs spécialisés font en sorte que les élèves apprennent à séparer leur magie pour mieux la contrôler: les deux éléments les plus dominants à Sigonia sont l’eau et l’air, grâce à leur localisation plus que spéciale.

upper studies L’école de Sigonia est bien rapidement devenue une académie, car Zander a perçu une opportunité que personne d’autre à l’époque n’avait compris. Des études supérieures, pour se spécialiser, étaient très rares et seulement pour quelques débouchées spécifiques comme Auror ou Médicomage, mais il y avait tellement d’autres possibilités que Zander et son équipe voulaient mettre l’accent dessus. Voici donc, quelques années plus tard, l’ouverture de l’Académie de Sigonia! Il y a beaucoup de branches, souvent similaires aux collègues moldus. Néanmoins, il y a tout de même quelques nouveautés afin d’ouvrir le champ de possibilités dans une mesure professionnelle: des psychomages, des botanistes, des chercheurs de traces magiques dans les civilisations, des archéologues magiques, des soigneurs de créatures magiques et des dompteurs des quatres éléments. Tout est fait pour que tous les méties puissent être mis en valeur et prendre de l’importance hiérarchique. La supériorité de Sigonia venait encore d’ajouter un cachet à d’autres déjà bien remplis.

first problems Néanmoins, il ne faut pas confondre des résultats spectaculaires avec une école utopiste où tout se passe parfaitement et dans les règles. Zander et son équipe n’est pas stupide, les enfants de la haute société sont quelques fois les pires. Comment le savaient-ils ? Ils en faisaient évidemment parti, quelques années auparavant. De plus, des personnes pas spécialement issues de ce genre de milieu étaient très rapidement conviées aux débaucheries par effet de groupe. Ils n’étaient pas dupes, ils savaient que certaines soirées se passaient, certains duos se retrouvaient dans des pièces sombres…Les punitions allaient à la hauteur de la gravité, mais pas vu, pas pris, n’est-ce pas ? Tout ceci était bon enfant. C’était sans compter la prochaine génération de sa famille. Les Grimsbane étaient chez eux, et étaient aussi débauchés qu’en colère contre le monde. Des royaux aux moyens démesurés, avec une impression que tout le monde était contre eux, et des hormones en folie…Zander a de quoi s’accrocher. Peut-être que là, il va devoir faire des gros yeux et hausser la voix… BEWARE OF THE TALES OF MERMAIDS. THEY’RE AMONG US THE FOUR HOUSES OF THE SCHOOL OF SIGONIA. i. ambries Aussi doux que dangereux, ils sont très attachés au côté social. Dès qu’ils ont trouvé leur “personne”, ils peuvent tout faire pour eux. Les cas extrêmes ? Se tuer ou tuer, cela n’a jamais été le cas, yet. Ils sont représentés par deux anneaux dorés et nacrés entrelacés. Board. ii. begrims Ceux entourés de barrière, ce sont souvent des êtres dôtés d’une grande intelligence, capable d’analyser une situation et tel un caméléon, s’adapter à celle-ci. Ils sont représentés par une silhouette verte sans visage, capée. Board. iii. gisarme Aussi impulsifs que pleurnichards, ils sont les émotifs et les sensibles. Deux catégories très différentes peuvent être distinctes dans cette maison, un peu comme le feu et l’eau. Ils sont représentés par l’arme du même nom, le gisarme, aux couleurs mauvâtres. Board. iv. regma Les consultants, les conseillers, les “sages”. Ils sont essentiels, mais trop souvent vu comme parfaits. Ceux-ci ont beaucoup de pression. Ils sont également touchés sur un tout autre plan par les animaux. Ils sont représentés par une tortue portant une couronne. Board. v. pearl Il arrive quelques fois que la Cérémonie n’arrive pas à répartir un enfant. Il est donc nommé la “Perle”. Il y a des avantages mais aussi des inconvéniants. Il n’a eu que deux perles pour le moment, et beaucoup pensent que c’est très biaisé car ce sont deux Grimsbane. vi. academy Si les étudiants suivent des études supérieures à Sigonia, la plupart le font d’ailleurs, les quatre maisons s’unissent en une, bien que des espaces sont créées pour répondre aux besoins de chaque membre des maisons attribuées.

[books-and-strawberry-tea]

Unfortunately…..The Coven is being DNF’ed. I’m really disappointed honestly. This book had all the fantasy, all the gothic, all the fantasy creatures I love, yet the execution falls incredibly flat. I got to chapter 21 and was dragging myself through the book. I couldn’t spend anymore time on a book I wasn’t enjoying.

[miss-rum-hee]

Hey! I was just wondering: How would you fix the following reboots? Velma and Monster High.

For MH I would

Make Draculaura Romanian again

Keep Clawdeen the MC

Frankie's okay I guess

Abbey would be Russian or mixed Russian Himalayan

Lagoona would be Aussie again (specifically aboriginal) and she wouldn't be snarling at people

Bloodgood wouldn't hate humans (she's literally a human herself, the daughter of the Headless Horseman)

I would put my OC in there for Filipino representation, and bring badk Jinafire, Kiyomi, and Euna, instead of taking away non villainous Slavic rep which is rare

Same with Latinas, Skelita (I know she's coming back but still)< Marisol, and Batsy would come back

Isi Dawndancer would return, but done more accurately

Lorna McNessie, Venus, and Silvi would come back because I love Scotland

All I know for Velma is:

Velma would be Japanese Jewish (Japanese from Hayley Kiyoko's version, Jewish from the white German version), and her surname would be Hashimoto not Dinkley. She wouldn't be a racist, slut shaming, sexist, vain, bully

Daphne would be Scottish American like she should be, and she would be the kind, glamourous lady who gets in trouble, because being girly and needing help is hated by radical feminists these days. But she wouldn't be dumb like some people who see "girly girl" and "damsel" think.

Shaggy would be Shaggy again, he would not be a druggie in denial

Fred wouldn't be the tool for anti white and anti rich propaganda like he is in the show.

I would bring back the Hex Girls, as well as movie characters like Crystal, Amber, Miyumi, and Shannon.

There would be no sexualizing teens, no gore, and no meta jokes.

For M0nst3er H1gh:

Keep Frankie the MC still, mostly cause' I feel like she's perfect for introducing new fans to the world of Monster High. She's new & doesn't really know much about the world, so I feel like it's better to keep her the main character.

Draculaura is still Romanian. I'd keep the whole witch thing because I kinda like it. I'd make it so that she's insecure about her being unable to do certain things yet as a vampire (turning into a bat, etc) so to compensate, she turns to witchcraft. It would be a nice opportunity to bring Casta Fierce back into the picture.

Cl4wdeen? Yeah no she's reverting back to her old self. G3 Cl4wdeen is just plain awful man, I'm sorry 🤧 The one thing I'll keep from G3 is her being nerdy. Make her nerdy about fashion & get all excited when someone shows interest in fashion. I like that idea.

For Abbey, I'd make her mixed. I'd change Bloodgood to not be a monster racist no more because that's fucking stupid (not letting yetis & half-human monsters attend, not letting gorgons play casketball) & I'd bring back some G2 monsters.

I'm afraid I don't really have much to say about the trash fire that is Velma, through.

thank you @ceph-the-ghost-writer for the tag! May everyone aspire to defy expectations! And it's always good to know another history/anthropology nerd ;D

Are you named after anyone? Partially! My great-grandma on my dad's side was an outstanding lady, and she hated her name so goddamn much. See, she was named June Hope because she was born in June and her parents hoped she'd be the last. Totally understandable reason to hate your name, imo. My mom used Hope as my middle name as an homage to my great-grandma (and because both sides of my family like to recycle names to hell and back). June was a lot happier with her name after that, and I like having a story to tell about it ^.^

When was the last time you cried? Oooh, that is both easy and difficult. I only cry when I'm having a panic attack, and I only have panic attacks every couple months or so. But I'm currently off my meds so my memory is shit and I don't remember the last time i may have cried...

Do you have kids? No. Absolutely not. Both me and my husband are very adamant on never having kids.

Do you use sarcasm a lot? I use sarcasm so often that I don't even realize I'm doing it. it's a problem.

What’s the first thing you notice about people? Vibes. Don't know how to explain it, but I can pick up on a person's general *everything* pretty quick and - as much as I try to ignore first impressions - they usually tend to be correct. Other things that tend to stick is height, build, hair color, tattoos... why yes, I absolutely do have some form of face blindness.

What’s your eye color? Hazel. People don't tend to notice that though, my bright red hair is much more obvious.

Scary movies or happy endings? Happy endings - and that's only because my anxiety wreaks havoc with scary movies. Seriously. I've seen exactly 3 scary movies in my life and they haunt me to this day. I'm better at scary books but they still aren't my favorite. (I maintain that there is a difference between 'scary' and 'horror')

Any special talents? Survivability, and annoyingly resilient optimism. Oh, and I can do that thing where you whistle and hum at the same time.

Where were you born? Kansas, USA.

What are your hobbies? Reading, writing, occasionally drawing, embroidery, sewing, hiking into the middle of nowhere, camping, training my dogs to do silly things (that they use for dastardly purposes), photography, collecting dinosaur figurines, witchcraft, historical research, the intricacies of movie/tv production, roadtrips with my husband

Have you any pets? 4 dogs and a cat. In order there is a 14yo collie mix named Bandit, a 6yo aussie mix named Echo, a 5.5yo rez mutt named Lakai, a 4yo husky-rottweiler mix named Artemis, and a 3yo tortie cat named Skylla. My husband got Bandit from a shelter long before we met each other, and I got Echo from my brother's ranch right around the time we met. Kai was found at a gas station in Arizona, and Artemis got adopted from a Facebook ad. Skylla was given to me by a neighbor at the last minute. Oh, and there's a betta fish named Astraea.

What sports do you play/have played? When I was in elementary/middle school I played soccer and volleyball, but I haven't played in a sport since I was 15. No competitive spirit and a severe lack of coordination really put a lid on that.

How tall are you? 5'4". It would be a respectably average height if I wasn't the shortest person in my entire family.

Favorite subject in school? History. No competition. My brief attempts at college were as a paleontology and history major.

Dream job? I... don't know actually. I can't see myself doing one thing for the rest of my life. Sure I could say writing, but I don't want it to be a job, you know? Maybe something in forestry or wildlife services. Not national parks tho, I don't like tourists enough for that.
