Witchcraft XLII
October 12, 2026
I got thoughts.
Went to a wake for a neighbor. Line was all around the inside of Morton's. Made me think about Dad’s funeral.
And that thought started me off on another train.
I thought moving out of the trailer and into the basement would cure me of my problems. I would have space to put all my stuff and get rid of my depression and become who I wanted to be.
And then Dad died.
So, I thought after “mourning” for a year, I was ready to start living. I was going to wait for the new year to start. It was a new decade after all.
I was so hopeful on January 1st, 2020.
You know how that year turned out.
Last night I sat and wrote and all the shit that was in me for the past few weeks was gone. I have hope and plans for the new year. Get my books out, with a notebook, and start studying.

Title
i have been off since Endgame. i even had a fear about going on that mini adventure of seeing Endgame.
and just know i had that thought that i have TOO much Halloween stuff and i don’t need to go to Spirit Halloween next year.
so, what the fuck is wrong with me?
i won’t let myself be happy.
i keep repeating the same fucking thing about home/car/work/partner. it’s all good and healthy for me. i reached my goals. i need to put up new ones to achieve.
and if i look at Maslow’s hierarchy of needs… i have physiological needs, i’m mostly good in safety needs, i have love and belonging, i’m just now getting to esteem and self-actualization.
i’m going to skip Erik Erikson for now.
there is also the part of me that’s living in two different lanes right now. Halloween marks the end of the witch’s year. i am gearing up for that year end while also living with two more months of 2026 before i reset my goals for 2027.
and it’s like pulling teeth to pull cards and that was a part of me i liked and seek wisdom and comfort from.
and other things are falling to the wayside.
i won and now i feel i’m at my lowest and losing fast.
