Would people be cool with me sharing my astral/hedge work travels? Is that a thing that's acceptable to share???

Dunno if this resonates with anyone but I adore having more than one place for my handwritten witch shit.

One is my "working grimiore", also known as old reliable, where I jot notes and snippets and that can be seen and used by a few close people. I have my Prismatic Pages, which is where I do a lot of illustrative and introspective work, a divination journal that is specifically for logging answers and results, etc. It all just feels super organized but it makes each facet of my work feel special as an individual type of work in addition to what it adds to my craft as a whole

Sometimes I poke my head into the pop culture magic tags and see if there’s anything for the two pieces of media I occasionally feel a ‘ping’ for working with and there’s very little (Black Jewels ‘Trilogy’) or none (Melanie Rawn’s Dragon Prince series, particularly the Sunrunners). Ah well.

Imbolc musings

In an effort to be better about celebrating the old holidays this year, I have spent a chunk of today planting seeds for herbs and veggies, as well as enlisting my toddlers help in filling in some holes our dog made in the backyard. It's no complicated ritual, but it's enough. I already feel more centered than I have in months. I simply don't have time for complicated things anymore...but celebrations don't have to be complicated. On Ostara, I will hopefully harvest what I planted and plant something new. Or maybe I will teach my toddler how to dye eggs. I may not be able to celebrate the day of either, and I have made my peace with that. But adding s.all things to the routine is helping, and I hope this year stays as positive as its started.

wanting to talk about having a different Millennial Teen experience than the former "popular kids" who make all the nostalgia tiktoks, but not wanting to sound NLOG-y about it because you're 30 and you realize that Different doesn't mean Better

oops I disappeared!!!! I'm trying to be back!!!

I decided to bind my own grimoire, that I would have a greater connection to it than simply to a pre-made journal. Here are some pics!

I've kinda gotten into bookbinding in general now lol. eventually I want to make my own bookcloth but for this I actually used wallpaper from a discarded wallpaper sample book! Yay garbagecraft 🗑 ✨️

Personal goals be damned, we can't materialise individualism in this climate emergency, what future does a goal under capitalism even look like? Cultivating a community that truly roots for each other, cares for each other, provides mutual aid and support and demands what we need from our governments and local councils as a powerhouse, or indeed, reject that nonsense entirely.

It is possible, despite what we have been forced to believe. Hope is within us, there are enough people who want and desire the world you envision - we are here. We just need to come together and share the hope

Character Poster - 'Minxie the Cat'

"It's supposed to be good luck, you know." Monkey D. Luffy looked up as the young woman approached, though her gaze was set ahead, taking in the sight of the sea. Zoro lingered close behind, keeping a close eye on Minxie as she leaned dangerously far over the railing, enjoying the way the ocean breeze felt on her face. "What is?" Luffy asked curiously. Minxie finally turned her attention fully onto the straw hat pirate, lips quirked up into a mischievous smile. "Having a cat on board, of course." A wide smile split across Luffy's face as he regarded the young woman. "Is that true?" He asked, looking to Zoro and Nami. Zoro simply shrugged his shoulders, gesturing to Minxie. "She would know," he said. From behind him, Nami rolled her eyes. Still smiling, Luffy turned back to Minxie once more. "You'll be the crew's good luck charm then," he announced. "And with you with us, we'll definitely get to the Grand Line and find the One Piece!" He threw his arms into the air with a loud whoop. Minxie smiled softly, exchanging a look with Zoro who didn't seem quite as amused at Luffy's excitement as she was before turning her gaze back over the expanse of the ocean once more.

Currently imagining a cleaning-product style commercial for different herbs and their magical uses.

“Cedar won’t just sweep away those pesky Bad Vibes, it both cleanses AND protects, to keep your home feeling blessed for longer!!”

and then there’s an animation of someone with a ponytail sweeping little dismayed ghosts around with cedar twigs

Something I wish I was told as a beginner witch is that I don't nessicarily need to work with a familiar or guide in order to have a fulfilling magical journey.

I would always beat myself up, following any "meet your familiar!" tutorial I could, just to feel like I was somehow failing at being a witch because nothing really called to me or felt like it belonged to me.

So, as a moreso intermediate witch speaking to the masses- it's okay to not have a familiar, it's okay to not want one, it's okay to march to the beat of your own drum, it's okay to have other forces in your life guiding you instead (deities, ancestors, etc.).

Having a familiar or spirit guide doesn't define who you are. You define who you are. That's what makes you a witch.

1 for your ask game!

Hi! I’m assuming you mean the June ask game? Lmk if I’m mistaken :)

1) as a witch, somebody with a foot in each world, what anchors you?

Animism and having a very ‘normal’ non magical partner- he keeps me grounded haha. Animism reminds me that everything, from rock to tree to river to building has a spirit. Spirit doesn’t only exist in some far flung and immaterial way.

If you want a super affordable witch shop to check out … I’m granolablossom on Instagram. Reaching out to my fellow witches and looking for support. I’m a mom of 3 trying to raise funds to move away from a toxic situation. Even just following me on insta helps immensely!! Thank you and I appreciate the support so much 🙏🏼
