Kinktober masterlist - Main masterlist - Send me requests!!

~

Your skin was hot, you couldn’t breathe, your body felt like it was on fire.

Wanda was on top of you with Bucky in between your thighs. She was riding your face as he played with your pussy. What you felt was electric it felt like nothing you’ve ever known before.

But of course right as the dream was getting good you jumped awake in a sweat. Once you calmed down you rolled over and kissed your sweet boyfriend awake. He groaned as you peppered his face with kisses. Bucky was quick to roll over and pull you in by your waist and you giggled in response.

“Mornin’ doll” His voice was gravely as he finally spoke. Your hands found their way to his stubbled cheeks as you continued your attack on his face.

“Morning Jamie” You spike softly as you admired the super solider laying next to you. The two of you spent a few more minutes in your cocoon before begrudgingly getting up to start the day. After you did your morning routine you walked into the kitchen of the compound to make some coffee.

You were finishing up in the kitchen when Wanda walked in very perky. “Morning y/n” She said as she went to find something to eat.

“Morning witchy, Whatcha up to today?” You asked the younger avenger and she blushed at the nickname.

“I was just planning on training today, why what’s up?” Your brain went fuzzy as she talked. Suddenly your mind was filled with thoughts of her lips all over you. You shook your head to get the thoughts out before finding the words to respond.

“Oh i was just wondering if you wanted to watch a movie with me and Bucky later” Your question made Wanda’s already happy smile grow bigger.

“I would love to!!” She responded excitedly before she was she had to go or else Nat would beat her ass. You chuckled softly as the witch ran away but you were quickly distracted once you felt a hair of hands on your waist.

“Hi my love” You say happily as you hand him his coffee. He takes the coffee and then kissed your cheek before sitting down at the island with you. The two of you discuss your day and you mentioned that Wanda was going to join you for movie night.

“So does this mean we are finally going to start with our plan?” He asks wiggling his eyebrows. And you shook your head and took his hand to finish the plan. You and Bucky had been crushing on the witch ever since you met her. She had helped Steve save you and Bucky from hydra. You and him were partners in hydra and they had used you to keep him in check. They had also given you similar powers to Wanda, you were able to move things with your mind, see and hear people’s thoughts along with having a small dose of the serum.

After the team had saved the two of you and everything had settled down the three of you got really close. All three of you experienced similar trauma, you and wanda had similar powers, and few and Bucky had the whole tortured soul thing they shared. It was a fast and sudden connection the two of you had to Wanda. So after a few months of mutual pining from the three of you you and Bucky came up with a plan to seduce Wanda.

The plan has started with just some casual flirting along with some gentle touches from you two to Wanda. And once you saw her reactions to that you started asking her to hang out more. But then one day during training you heard Wanda’s thoughts. ‘Step one complete’ the young witch thigh to herself and then you saw Bucky bright red with a tent in his pants avoiding her gaze.

That’s when it clicked, she was the reason for your less than PG thoughts about her. So after that discovery you and him had a very long conversation on how to trick the witch into thinking all of this was her idea. Luckily for you two she was so easily manipulated ask it took was some ‘accidental’ touches, small gestures and sweet complements and she was putty in your hands.

But she still thought she was the one manipulating you two. Wanda had continued to insert herself in your dreams and thoughts. She walked around the compound for weeks thinking her plan was working.

Fast forward to the present where you and Bucky were adding the finishing touches to your plan. Movie night was the last step. You two had picked out some of Wanda’s favorite snacks, movies and drinks before setting up a fort in your room. You had told Wanda to meet you in your room around 7 and just like the good girl she is she was right on time.

Bucky had gotten off the bed and opened the door revealing the cutest witch in her hoodie and shorts. “Hi milaya devushka” he greeted as he took her hand and led her to the bed where you were.

“H-Hi” The redhead blushed at the name as she settled down next to you. Your heart swelled at her shyness as she got sandwiched in between you and Bucky. She look around and saw the setup you and him and made and you saw her green eyes light up.

“Did you two do this for me?” She asked as her heart was filled with ash much happiness and love.

“We did moya lyubov” You replied softly as you placed a hand on her thigh. You could see her breath get caught in her throat as you touched her as well as hearing her thoughts. Wanda became even more flustered at the name you gave her.

“This is so sweet thank you lyubovs” Wandas voice came out breathless as she looked in between you and the solider. Bucky ever so slyly put his metal hand on her other thigh to test her reaction. And luckily for you two it was very clear she wanted you two as bad as you wanted her.

“Let’s get movie night started” Bucky said as he grabbed the remote and put on the first Addams family. The three of you settled into a comfortable silence for most of the movie up, until you and Bucky started to day dream about Wanda. And this time you both were having the same one.

Bucky was fucking you from the back as you were in all fours eating Wanda out.

The two of you had tried to focus on the movie but it was getting harder and harder. So the both of you decided to say fuck it and moved your hands up her thigh. You were the first to initiate more intimate touching. Your fingers slowly ran up and down the side of her body and she trembled slightly.

Bucky then moved his hand up her chest and started groping her. Wanda threw her head back as she relished in the moment thinking her plan worked.

“Please” She whimpered as your fingers find their way to the hem of her shorts.

“Please what milaya devushka?” Bucky taunted as his hand found its way under her hoodie.

“please fuck me” She begged looking in between you and Bucky. That’s all it took for you to flick your wrist leaving the redhead naked on your bed.

“So pretty moya lyubov” You whispered as you began to kiss and suck dark marks on her neck. Bucky was quick to dip two of his metal fingers into her dripping pussy. She nuzzled her face into your shoulder biting back her moans at the intrusion. It was all happening so far she couldn’t wrap her mind around it, she was finally getting what she wanted.

As Bucky was two fingers deep in her you straddled her waist and bright one of her nipples in your mouth. Wanda let out a wanton moan at the immense pleasure she was feeling. You could tell she was close so you leaned over and started rubbing her clit.

“oh f-fuck” She whimpered as Bucky and you picked up the unrelenting peace. She felt the coil in her stomach builds up as Bucky curled his fingers and hit her g-spot. Within a matter of moments she was coming undone on Bucky’s fingers.

“Oh my fucking god” Wanda’s words came out broken and hoarse and you and Bucky laugh at the breathless witch.

“Oh we aren’t done with you yet little witch- you know all those dreams we’ve been having? why don’t we make them come true?” You asked with a raised brow and she went red.

“W-What dreams?” She asked with faux innocence and a puppy dog look.

You and Bucky shared a knowing look before you turned your attention back to her. “ We know what you’ve been doing little witch” He husked in her ears before he kissed beneath her ear.

“I-I haven’t been doing anything” The witch protests as she shook her head and the tips of her ears turned red.

“Oh baby there’s no sense in denying it when we’ve known about them all along. See me and dear sweet James had come up with a plan to make you ours… and that was when i overheard you thinking to yourself about your plan. To which me and him let you think this was all your idea…but in all reality little witch… you’ve been subjected to our plan “ You admit as you crawl down the witch’s body kissing her along the way. Wanda’s face goes from red to redder as you confess. Her thoughts run as she gets lost in the feeling of your lips on her.

She doesn’t even get to respond to your confession because you immediately dive into her like a woman starved. Your tongue found its way through her already wet folds. You moan at the taste of her juices as you relentlessly eat her. Wanda grips the sheets tight as you make your way to her clit and suck.

“Oh fuck mommy” She groans once you add two fingers. Bucky is quick to take advantage of your position and comes up behind you with his erect cock. He runs his length up and down your slit before pushing it in and letting out a guttural moan.

“Yes daddy” You groan as he bottoms out and starts thrusting. The room is filled salacious sound and moans as the three of you pleasure each other.

Wanda is close to her second orgasm and you your first as you sloppily eat her pussy.

“Fuck mommy right there!!” She screams as you hit her g-spot and suck her clit. As Bucky chases his high his thrusts become harder which leads you to moan into Wanda which makes her cum a second time.

“FUCK MOMMY!!” Her moan damn near breaks the sound barrier as her orgasm rips through her. But you don’t stop fucking her until you cum.

“Oh fuck yes daddy fuck right there” You let out a broken moan as he hits the right spot and squirt on his cock. Bucky’s orgasm is quick to follow yours and he thrust into to keep his cum right where it is.

“Fucking hell” He sighs as he pulls out and collapses on the bed next to Wanda and you follow behind. The three of you are a panting mess as you settle down from your highs.

“So- Uh is this a one time thing?” Wanda is the first to break the silence with her small yet soft voice. Both you and Bucky place a hand on her cheek and give each other a look before looking back at her.

“Hell no” You two say in unison before you pull her into a heated kiss and then Bucky does the same.

“Good” She whispers as she looks at the two of you with so much love in her eyes. That night the three of you end up having sex more time than you can count testing both Bucky’s super soliderness and your and Wanda’s powers to the limits.

And boy was it the best way to start a new and loving relationship.

I started to become aware of the life I've built up. I have transformed into a character from a book I'm not entirely sure I've written myself. But if this is the case, my creator has certainly placed me in one of the strangest, happiest chapters.

I've become a house witch. Surrounded by her animals, plants and colorful trinkets.

I create with my hands. My eyes, the window to the worlds inside me.

I cover my body in colors and comfortable fabrics and bask through the mornings in bed with my three cats, my dog and my amazing fuzzy rabbit.

I walk barefoot as much as I can. Naked as much as I want. I lay on the cool floor, stretch like a cat and relishing in every single crack and pop from my achy back.

I drink terere like it's a magical potion and it may as well be in the sense that every zip is like drinking the scent of fresh soil.

I go out for no reason at all. I take my rabbit with me, sometimes my dog too and we sit at the supermarket bench enjoying the breeze of the door ventilators and people-watch.

I talk to them too. The ones brave enough to approach the crazy lady with a rabbit and dog in her lap. I see myself as the coocky zanny character they'll go tell their spouces about later.

I relish in the moment of being the magical creature in young children's minds when they see me in my rainbow hippie-ish clothes and walking my bunny on a leash because I know they'll recall my image for the rest of their lives while reminiscing about their childhood.

I enjoy my food unapologetically like an animal. I dig my teeth into my guilty pleasure burgers while whipping ketchup with my arm.

I've got a bird living in my bathroom as I raise it from a fledgling. A pigeon who takes showers with me. I talk to my plants as if they're my children.

I have lost the need for a standard and majorly consistent routine. I've created my own because I live and work for me. Me and my children, ofcourse.

I've become somewhat ... adapted to my limitations. But from that, I've embraced what I've accomplished and I've expanded them into real-life fantasies.

Maybe I'll never have the classic happy life. Maybe I'll never call anyone husband or work in a studio. Maybe I'll never drive a car or have many many many friends.

Maybe, I'll never dare to step outside my comfort zone in a major crazy way.

Because I don't want to risk this. This life I have. This autonomy. This freedom. This leasure.

To be crazy, messy, wild and fantastically deluded. I'm supposed to be!

I'm the crazy neighborhood lady. The witchy aunt figure that teaches you how to throw clay and lose your fear of bees.

I'm me. This me that exists for now.... and when that starts to change as I move to the next chapter... God I hope it still feels like it.

I am a witch who's trying to get back into witchcraft after an immense amount of burn out. The burn out wasn't due to the witchcraft, it was due to things piling on my brain in general. What sort of things do you suggest to ease myself back into it? If you don't have an answer that's okay, just thought to ask

I've been dealing with this myself and I actually just made a video on it that I really like not too long ago, so I think I can help you!

How to Come Back to the Craft After Burn Out (+ A Guide to doing Witchcraft with Low Spoons) 

I was burnt out in general and because of the craft, particularly because of the way I was filtering my personal practice through social media. I realized a lot of my burnout was tied to pushing myself, and shame. I feel like maybe this is common. This is a mix of both personal and witchy advice, and I may be projecting, but I think you have to focus first and foremost on not rushing back in and getting overwhelmed by adding a bunch of stuff to your routine at once and trying to do everything right or perfect. A good practice or routine is sustainable, not perfect. Perfect is the enemy of good, and also the enemy of done. I've had to focus on this a lot recently. 

With this in mind, you might be wondering where you should even begin when it comes to actually practicing again. Remember to go slow. I’d suggest thinking about what you were doing and interested in before and start practicing and researching whatever sounds the most fun when you’re ready. You could also go over any notes you had about your practice before, if you had a blog or something look at that, etc. You get the idea! It will help you remember and might inspire you. If you really enjoyed tarot for example, you could do that when you feel inspired to. Starting slow is important. if you want go slower you could just do whatever practices you were doing before, or like now, whenever you feel like it. You could also try working witchcraft into your routine. Routine is hard for a lot of people but it doesn’t have to be intense. It can just be adding one thing. That’s all it needs to be. It could be something you do once a month, once a week, when you wake up, after you brush your teeth, only some days or whatever you think will make you feel the best.  

Of course I don’t know anything about your practice but to inspire you and others, here’s some ways you can easily introduce magic into your life. 

Daily divination  A tarot card every morning is what I like to do but you could use any kind of divination you like! 

Meditation  Meditate for a few minutes every morning/evening. Even 2 minutes makes a difference. Also, despite popular belief meditation does not have to be emptying your mind. 

Dream interpretation  Interpret or just journal about your dreams! Honestly journaling in general I think is great for witches. 

Witchy items of the day  Pick out some items to carry on you for the day. This could be crystals or herbs you want the properties of, a hag stone, or other items with properties you want to draw to you or use in your practice. 

Intention in drinks & food!  If you have coffee or tea every morning or day you can stir intention into it. Clockwise for things you want in, counterclockwise for things you want to banish. Or that’s the typical belief/way people suggest doing it. You can also stir sigils into it or add items to your drinks/food with or by intention. 

Enchanting personal care  Another way you can bring magic in your everyday life is enchanting personal care products. I’d do this for added layers of warding but you could get super creative with this and do whatever intention you like. 

Sigils sigils sigils  Sigils are fun to make. You can use them for a ton of other things on this list. Stir them into your drinks. Draw a sigil on your skin using lotion. Write them on your walls for warding. Sigils, sigils, ... sigils! 

Spritz cleansing If you have a hard time cleansing or not a lot of energy right now when you DO have energy you can put together a mixture for cleansing using a spritz bottle and then you have it done and ready to go ahead of time for many cleansing sessions. Beware of herbs and things you add if you have any allergies/pets. Actually just research any plants you handle anyway. 

Layering your wards  If you’re struggling with burn out right now you probably don’t have a lot of energy so this is a tip I like for when this happens and just the long term overall. Always add small layers using different methods to your personal and spacial wards. An example of this I love is some of the above, carrying an item with strong protective properties or writing sigils on the bottom of your shoes/sewing them into your clothes/etc are some other ideas I love. Customize as needed! Be creative! 

Basically just think of things you do everyday and try to make it witchy! Or think of practices you want to do more, like maybe cleansing, and figure out how to make it easier. 

Also I did mention research. I think in addition to picking a practice to try again or add to your routine, picking a topic to research that sparks interest may help too. Here are some ideas for that!

Cleansing 

Charging

Grounding

Warding 

Circle casting 

Consecration

How can you motivate yourself to practice? I'm so busy with work and other daily life things that I often don't have time, energy or motivation to practice, or I just forget. Time goes so fast these days and suddenly I've missed the last two sabbaths and full moon, then I get bad conscience and feel like I'm a "bad" or "failed" witch. (I struggle a lot with self deprecation in general with my mental health) Do you have any tips on how I can motivate myself to practice more?

Oof, I hear you. We all have the best of intentions when it comes to keeping up with our practice and making progress on our goals and projects, but damnit, Real Life just keeps on getting in the way.

Ideally, we'd all be able to keep perfect track of the occasions we wish to celebrate and the cycles of the moon AND have time and energy to devote to our practices on top of taking care of silly things like jobs and families and social lives and household management. Ideally, we'd be well-read, well-rested, well-organized, and perfectly in command of our faculties.

It's nice to dream, isn't it?

In reality, we're all doing the best we can and despite our best efforts, we miss holidays and moon dates and gatherings and go weeks or months without having time to sit down and actively work on our craft. And that is OKAY. None of it means we're bad people or failed witches. It just means we're human beings with human lives and human limitations. We can only do so much with 24 hours in a day.

The nice thing is that the craft meets us where we are, and if that means waiting a while, it's got a loooong shelf life. Besides that, practicing witchcraft isn't JUST performing rituals and casting spells and lighting up the altar. It's research and rest and reflection too.

In my practice, I've found that doing small things as part of my daily routine and larger things when I have time really helps. For instance, stirring a blessing into my morning drink, or setting my wards when I lock the front door, or wearing a charmed piece of jewelry. I do my best to keep track of the moons using reminders and a planner so I can put my jars out, but I forget sometimes. It's annoying, but there's always another one coming. And I find ways to make things I'm already doing magical as well, like cleansing my home when I clean or take out the garbage or reconnecting with the land I live on while doing yard work.

And when all else fails, I take a break and go back to the things that inspire me. I work on crafts. I journal. I try something new. I listen to music and watch movies and maybe re-read some things, and I give myself a little grace. (I've run myself into a full burnout before by ignoring my limits before. I don't recommend it.) Then when I have the time and energy, I get back to work.

Witches Morning Routine

Ideas for a cozy witchy morning! Perfect for secretive witches ✨

Open your windows/curtains and say goodmorning to the sun or admire it and the earth

Hold any of your crystals, tarot cards, etc to make them feel loved and to get any wonderful energy

If you have a safe space you may pull a tarot card or meditate

Read your horoscope for the day (there is plenty of apps and websites)

Water any plants or feed any animals in the house and give them some love

Go for a walk if time allows, clear your mind and breathe in fresh, clean energy to uplift you

Light a candle, using any colour/scent that will suit your day

If you drink coffee, add a dash of cinnamon to it or the grinds

If you drink tea, stir it clockwise to promote or counter clockwise to banish

Make breakfast and add special spices to it for certain things

Worship/leave an offering to a deity or perhaps earth itself

If you wear makeup, draw sigils with the foundation or wear a certain colour of lipstick/eyeshadow for its properties

Remind yourself that you are beautiful, and a badass witch ❤️

Most practicing witches, whether just starting out or involved for decades, have carved out a sacred space for themselves. It is rare, however, that I see that same level of attention given to the rest of the home. In doing so, we risk the stagnation of energies in just about every other room of the house and miss out on this beautiful flow dancing about room to room. Today, I would like to share five simple ways to make your entire home a more magickal place to live in.

1. Regularly cleanse, bless, and ward.

It is so important – both for the success of workings and the overall energetic wellbeing of the household – to have a regular routine of cleansing the home, refilling it with positive energies, and charging the wards that surround it. This habit breaks up energetic stagnation, deters lingering negative energies, and promotes a sacred feeling of warmth that permeates throughout the entire home. In addition, I think you will find that this sort of energetic housekeeping will improve the results of any future magickal workings performed within it. Not to mention, making a habit out of any sort of magickal working – cleansings included – will naturally “exercise” and improve your own magickal abilities overall.

For those new to the ideas of cleansing, blessing, and warding, this is how I generally define it: To cleanse is to rid a person, place, or thing (in this case, the home) of stagnant, unwanted, draining, counterproductive, or otherwise negative energies. After a cleansing is performed, a blessing may follow. In my opinion, blessing a space with more productive energies serves two purposes: To set the tone for desired future outcomes and to further deter negative energies from re-entering the space. With that said, to bless – again, as I define it – is to invite in and refill the recently-cleansed person, place, or thing with fresh, positive, intentional energies. And finally, to ward is to create an energetic protective barrier around the person, place, or thing as a more passive and longer-lasting preventative measure. Some people may also refer to this as bubbling or shielding, though different people may have different definitions for each.

Now personally, there are different cleansing rituals I use for different circumstances, but my most often used rituals take place monthly or as-needed when energies get too muddied.

My Monthly Cleansing Ritual: I perform this ritual on the first of each month. Any cleansing tools to be charged on the altar should be set at least a day before performing the cleansing. The morning of, weather permitting, open windows and play uplifting music or cleansing affirmations, frequencies, or subliminals of choice. Take a cleansing shower. Clean the home as you normally would. When physical cleaning is complete, use a smoke or spray cleansing blend of choice, walking with intention from room-to-room. Pay special mind to corners and doorways. I like to use sound cleansing – bells, drums, or even snapping your fingers will do – in these spaces to really ensure the breaking up of any “stuck” energies. If you are someone who performs banishing rituals, you may choose to do so now. At this point, I also take a moment to cleanse myself, particularly as an empath. I then tend to my wards by first taking a blessed salt blend around the perimeter of the property, followed by sitting at the center of the property and funneling my own energy into the ward. If you would prefer to instead bless first and ward after, feel free to do so. It is your ritual, after all. Regardless of which order you perform the ritual in, the blessing process may be a deeply personal one, so this is a step I suggest thinking on a bit rather than following to the letter. In my ritual, I use a spray with positive energy-promoting herbs (as well as herbs that may promote the intention I wish to set for the month) and follow up with prayer to my deities. If you’re interested in a more in-depth look at my Monthly Cleansing Ritual, I do have detailed instructions available on my Monthly Blessings Patreon.

My As-Needed Cleansing Ritual: This is essentially a truncated version of my monthly ritual. If the energies are something I’ve tracked in or absorbed too much of, I will take a cleansing shower first. Following this, perform your usual smoke or spray cleansing, focusing especially on any room(s) that may be the most abundant in the energy that brought about this need for an emergency cleanse. You may also like to perform a shorter version of your regular blessing ritual. Unless the situation is really dire, I will generally stick to my spray in this case.

In regards to the physical cleaning portion of this, I do have to recommend Grove Collaborative for cultivating a more natural-based cleaning cabinet. In the future, I’ll be looking into more do-it-yourself methods for cleaning essentials, as is part of the focus of this blog, but in the meantime – and for anything that may be too tedious to make – I really do love Grove.

And one final thought on the cleansing process before we move on: If nothing else, it would at least be worth it to regularly cleanse yourself. I’m afraid your floors (and your home overall) will never be clean if you are consistently tracking in the (energetic) mud.

2. Arrange altars around the home.

To some, an altar may just be some simple magickal workspace, but I tend to view an altar as a sort of energetic nexus – a point of focus in (or out of) the home enchanted with a specific intention. Having a variety of these energetic points all across the home can promote different energies in different places and act as a sort of battery for the mood you wish to set in any room you wish to set it. Here are just a few ideas for altars around your home:

• The Shrine Altar: A space dressed with statuary, artwork, trinkets, and offerings honoring the deity or deities you are devoted to in your practice. This is your place of divine worship.

• The Working Altar: A space with all the tools and dressings to make magick happen. This, combined with a Shrine, is what most people traditionally think of when referring to an altar.

• The Divination Altar: A space with all the tools and dressings for divination, spirit communication, and other sorts of communion that take place beyond the veil. You may wish to set aside a space here for your spirit guides and teachers to provide their own guidance.

• The Ancestor Altar: A space for maintaining connection with your ancestors. When decorating and leaving offerings, keep in mind the things that your ancestors would enjoy.

• The Protection Altar: A space for gathering protective energies to keep yourself, your loved ones, and your home safe from harm. Think of it as a battery specifically for your wards.

• The Hearth Altar: A space for inviting warm, positive energies into the home and transmuting any negative energies that may enter. Even better if you can get your family involved.

• The Prosperity Altar: A space for inviting wealth, prosperity, and abundance into the home. Similarly to the Hearth Altar, It’s a good idea to have this altar face the front door to act as a “greeter” to these energies, and you may even choose to combine them.

• The Creativity Altar: A space for encouraging a steady flow of inspiration. This is ideal if you have any sort of creative pursuits and/or are subject to frequent creative blockages.

• The Study Altar: A space for encouraging focus and memory retention. Perfect for a library or an office where lots of learning takes place. Rosemary would be an excellent addition here.

• The Garden Altar: A space in your garden for promoting the growth of your plants and bonding with the fae and genius loci native to your area.

3. Celebrate with the changing seasons.

When I was younger, much of the year was quite boring to me, and I found myself always pining for Hallowthanksmas to roll back around before returning yet again to “business as usual” come January 1st. I think an unfortunate amount of people operate this way, as well. It was only when I started observing and appreciating the year in full that my life turned around in a big way, and I began to realize there is always something to look forward to.

Whether this means celebrating the sabbats, the seasonal shifts, or your own set of scattered observations – you can make holiday magick a year-round experience just by opening your eyes to Gaia’s natural cycles. In addition, I think you’ll find that matching the energetic ebb and flow of the Earth will serve to optimize your success with spellwork overall. Very simply:

During the spring… New beginnings are abundant. Appreciate the budding flowers, the baby animals, and the fresh spring air. Start new projects and/or take on new endeavors.

During the summer… Passions are at their highest. Host bonfires and barbecues and let yourself live life. Soak up the energy of the sun and transmute it into raw motivation.

During the autumn… Our efforts may be harvested. Bathe in gratitude for the abundance of this beautiful planet. Review and appreciate all that you have done for yourself.

During the winter… The world is at rest. The cold decelerates the very flow of time. Take a much-needed break, and plan to return or renew come the first signs of spring.

Consider also bringing the outdoors in – particularly during the colder months when it is too difficult to spend a significant amount of time outside. Foraging with the local flora in your area and using your findings for food, medicine, and decor is an excellent way to become familiar with the cycle of the seasons as it functions in your very own neighborhood.

4. Ritualize your everyday routines.

We often don’t realize just how many rituals we perform each and every day – repetitive, but necessary, processes that lull us into a meditative state. There is opportunity here. In our day-to-day life, there are so many little pockets within our routines to tuck intention and purpose into. And why shouldn’t we? Here are just a few suggestions for enchanting your daily routine:

In the Morning: Do affirmation work upon waking or in the mirror. Alternatively, listen to affirmations or subliminal audio on your ride to work or while getting ready in the morning. Incorporate color and shape magick into your wardrobe – including any accessories, makeup, or nail care that you may do.

Throughout the Day: Enhance your meals with carefully chosen herbs to improve wellbeing or attract specific energies. After workouts, take a moment to meditate on advancing muscular growth or expelling fat from troublesome areas. Use showers as mini cleansing rituals or put oils/herbs in a bath to attract energies.

During the Night: Do affirmation work just before falling asleep. Keep a small (non-fragile) stone under your pillow to regularly fill with energies of gratitude. Set an intention for your dreams. Keep a dream sachet under your pillow to help with achieving lucidity. Diffuse oil for a specific intention to set the tone for your dreams or even to set the tone for the next day.

However you spend your days, consider altering your home’s decor room-by-room to cultivate a specific tone and energy depending on the daily rituals you perform there.

5. Build a garden you can bond with.

One of the things I love most about being a witch is the awareness that magick really is all around us. In my opinion, cultivating a garden is the best way to go about experiencing this, and it offers so much versatility. On a very basic level, a garden offers a wide variety of personally-selected plants that can be used for cooking, medicine, magick, decor, aroma, and so much more. On a deeper level, a garden offers the space to get to know the spirits of these plants as they thrive and flourish prior to receiving their gifts – and this, in turn, will improve upon many of your more subtle spiritual abilities.

And for those of you who don’t have much of a yard to work with at this time, keep in mind that plants in any pot – that require any amount of sun and attention – are still living beings. Lavender, for example, is one commonly-used plant in the craft that can be grown indoors.

Pinterest, for the record, is a great place to collect gardening information tailored to your tastes (among other things like recipes and crafting tutorials). And for the more daring, you may choose to expand your horizons by looking into things like food forests or guerrilla gardening (bonus points if it yields something edible).

Regardless of what endeavors you decide to take on, darling, I wish you the best of luck in making your home, your community, and your life more magickal. Many blessings to you.

Lil bit more about me.

Not only are spiders a special interest of mine, they’re also my spirit guide, as a Welsh Druid, generally very creative person and male witch.

So here’s some witchy signals I tend to experience:

🕷️ they show up when I’m doing something right.

🕷️ they also show up when I’m feeling creative

🕷️ they’re a part of my morning routine - I go outside to drink my coffee, and am usually partial to finding spiderlings actually on my person, appearing seemingly out of nowhere.

🕷️ I often dream about them. Last night, I dreamt I was trying to catch a wolf spider, but she kept eluding me. (I’m currently ill and experiencing creative block 🥲)

🕷️ if a spider spins a web around my altar, I consider it a blessing. There’s currently a false widow web spun around my candlesticks.

Things I do to honour the spiders:

🕷️ I feed them regularly.

🕷️ when one of my older girls dies, I preserve and frame her web, then feed her body to one of the younger girls.

🕷️ I wear spider motifs on a daily basis and incorporate webs into my clothing and interior design.

🕷️ I engage in activities like knitting.

🕷️ I do my best to be creative as much as possible

🕷️ I never kill them and do my best not to disturb them.

🕷️ I have a tradition of when a new baby spider sets up her web, I feed her and wait for a ‘first handling’. I also congratulate her on her first web.

🕷️ I wear silk as often as possible and favour silk clothing.

Simple Spidery Ritual Routine:

🕷️ I dress in silk and braid my hair, setting my intentions.

🕷️ I meditate while watching one of the girls spin her web.

🕷️ I listen to “En La Maison Dedalus”

🕷️ spells are always spiral in shape.

🕷️ I walk in the shape of a web whilst meditating: first to the four corners, then walking to the centre of my space, before walking to twelve points, returning to the centre, then spiralling outwards. Sometimes I do this with incense to cleanse / prep a space, sometimes with a candle.

🕷️ Of course, because I’m a welsh druid, I speak in welsh whilst doing this and call on my guide beforehand.

So your a Witch and you have a problem with routines or suffer from chronic overthinking

Listen when I say my executive dysfunction and anxiety can be quite devastating to any form of action I mean it from the bottom of my ✨soul✨ but when it comes to a witchy routine... Oof. These are some tips and tricks I've learned and figured I'd share it with you. Remember this is based off of my personal experience, what works for one person does not automatically work for another!

So first piece of advice in the fight against these unfaltering foes!

Don't fight em.

WAIT!! Hear me out!

Somedays you just can't do ✨the thing✨ i promise you your spirit team loves you and understands and while procrastinating is the enemy of achievement taking breaks and rest are it's allies. Now don't put if off for too long, maybe set a specific date or time to do it and stick to your word. If you make a promise to yourself you must endeavor to keep it. Life happens, it's unfair but you must at least be fair to yourself and to quote Mister Meeseeks "Follow Through!!" This doesn't just apply to witchy based activities either. Sometimes the urge to just not, is your bodies request for something else.

I have so many unread books I don't even know where to start and depsite all the unfinished books on my shelf I want to have more and I really shouldn't be buying more but -

First step when things get overwhelming is to breath.

Secondly you don't have to read all those books today, tomorrow or ever.

It's also okay to just have books and not finish them. I love to collect books. They may call me a horder(they being the anxiety based court that constantly judges my actions) but you'd call me a librarian if I let the public read borrow em, sooooo. Some people collect teapots that aren't even useable but I don't judge them for it. (I kind of do but only a little bit! But that's because I like my teapots pretty yes but you see-)

Speaking of Libraries!

I love the library so much guys! Please please please support your local libraries! They have so many helpful resources, I honest to Gods could make a whole other post about why libraries are important but! ✨ Focus is a must ✨

Your local library may already have that book you wanna buy, if they don't libraries are connected to a network and depending on where you live your local library can actually get books from pretty far away, sometimes they can even go out of network and into another and the cool thing is in the bookstore I can check of my library has it and save my self a pretty penny.

✨ IMPORTANT! ✨

Maybe despite how well written it is, or how enjoyable you find it you find yourself stopping halfway through. Maybe the stopping point isn't the end of the book. The knowledge you'd sought and needed might have been found and who knows maybe later you will finish it but beating your own ass about it ain't going to help. Take your time, knowledge is power but unused knowledge is a precious waste of time and space for your beautiful brain.

I have this spell I wanna do but there's so much I need to do in order for it to-

Pause

Make the spell simpler.

Yep! Not every powerful spell needs to include sage and cinnamon in order to work. Sustainable witchcraft is important. If you don't have the energy, time or money to make your spell all fancy smansy then don't. You're creative and wise, the intent behind the spell is most important and creating your own method using what you have/can afford is not only creative it shows intent. Witchcraft is not there to stress you out or be judged. The only standard for witchcraft is intent. For example! My first spell changed my life and I made it all fancy smansy, I'm talking the full nine yards I had a special knife, fancy fruit, candles, chanting, moon water, I went big sense I refused to go home. My last life changing spell included my tarot deck and a piece of paper, while I drank my morning tea. It's not just the what you're doing when it comes to spells and rituals it's about mindset. Life's already hard enough, have fun with your spiritual practice!

I feel so weighed down, and tired and I just can't find the energy to do a daily ritual but I really want to start one!

That's okay!

I'm exhausted too and also wish to have more routines but you gotta start.

My ideal routine is morning tarot, cup of tea, and meditation. Some weeks I'm up every morning, drinking tea, doing a quick tarot reading, going on walks, just taking in the day before getting started.

Some weeks I sleep through all 6 of my alarms, don't have time to pack a lunch let alone do some tarot and go on a walk!

Routines are there to help build structure in your life, not rigid cages you must appease.

Some weeks, some days, some times you honestly can't be bothered. That's okay but that just means when you can be bothered you do. My tarot decks are sassy as hell to me about it tbh. I'll do my morning tarot or I won't but they understand. But if I have the time and energy later on in the week and just don't? That quick three card reading I was gonna do with my coven mates just become 26 cards plus two Oracle decks (I'm exaggerating a teenie bit but it feels like a lot sometimes) and you know what, that's okay. Your deck is just catching you up on all the knowledge you've missed! You'll make time for tarot, it's not a scheduled appointment, it's supposed to be a meeting between equals.

I'm pretty sure I've gotten off track but to show you the sum my knowledge or TLDR as you young whippersnappers are saying these days.

Basically, be kind and patient with yourself as you establish your routines and find what works for you. Remember your best today might not ne your best tomorrow. Some days the best I can do is drink my cup of tea as I drive down the highway, other times its that nice meditatve walk.

Find what works for you, day to day, hour to hour and remember be kind yourself. You're not just a meat suit who needs to accomplish everything and anything right here right now, your stardust that deserves to enjoy and cherish those happy experiences that can find you if you step out of judgement and into self love.

Remember this is just my personal experience, and you can take it with a grain of salt, a speck of sugar or just toss it over your shoulder.

I'm exhausted since sleep is a elusive mistress that likes to come and go but I hope this makes sense and maybe helps you enjoy your day a little bit more.
