i think watching too much Penny Dreadful has not been good.

maybe not so soon after the latest season of Chilling Adventures of Sabrina.

i feel that with this fucking weather and not being home every night is throwing me. i get out of sync and i can’t find my groove again.

hell, i can’t keep up with my tarot card of the day.

i really haven’t put any new words down and i haven’t really cracked into any of my craft projects. i think when i do my report for February, i’ll be lacking in many things.

what i don’t think is lacking is my faith. signs are showing that my spell is working. i don’t’ feel so lost and not doing anything. i am doing something. am i where i want to be? no. am i getting there? i’m not standing still so i am moving onto something.

do i meditate tonight or not? that i don’t know.

Witchcraft Ask, Day 27

Day 27. Have you ever performed a spell or ritual with the company of anyone who was not a witch?

Witchcraft Ask, Day 26

Day 26. What got you interested in witchcraft?

i wanted to be the Wicked Witch of the West from The Wizard of Oz as long as i can remember. if i had to be green and live with the flying monkeys, i was ok with that.

it was when i was 13ish, i found To Ride a Sliver Broom by Silver RavenWolf in my small-town library. that book told me yes, you can be a witch! it’s all real and here’s how you can do it!

a bit of magick

i did make myself meditate last night. i don’t think i’m gonna do that one again. i snapped out of it and it just was not what i needed.

i did see some of my spell work in progress. that, and the card reading the other day, things are cooking. it’s a slow spell but “These things must be done delicately, or you hurt the spell.”

i will try again tonight. i think i need to do some card readings too.

update

where to start.

last week was shit weather where i was at Judy’s for too many nights and in the middle of that, i got the stomach flu and was feeling like shit for most of the Fridayish till, now? this week brought shit weather and me at Judy’s again.

and more shit weather for next week!

sometime next week i need to do an update about “mind/body/soul”. i know i’m not winning in some areas but let’s see what happens. i need to work more on getting the basement clean. it’s not just Matthew coming up next weekend, there’s a chance Colt will be here too. really need to get stuff up a lvl. 
i’m gonna finish this ep of Grey’s, hit the shower, and then wine and Shrill.

smoke

this weekend was not as productive as last weekend.

did a lot of card readings. they all point to meditating as the answer for everything. it’s what i need to do and what i’m scared to do.

i did add words to my fic story. now, i need to make the words into English and see if i can flesh out the 2nd part of that story.

and i got a craft project done. so, points for that.

this is the last weekend i’m gonna do nothing. i kept trying to play my game and things didn’t work, and i just quit. i should have spent the time doing something more creative.

i need to get things done. sitting on my ass is not going to get anything of it done.

Witchcraft Ask, Day 12

Day 12. Do you believe in Karma or Reincarnation?

i don’t do karma. it’s not in my path and rarely have i met people anyone who understands it proper.

as for reincarnation, yes.

Cold Moon

last night was the last of the Days of Bowie. i did my annual listening of Blackstar and arted.

it was also a full moon, 1st one of winter, the Cold Moon. i had not done anything that magickal since last year and i was lost on how to do it.

i need to write down a prayer book for my rituals. i know how to do it, it’s just a matter of doing it. add that to the list of things to do this year.

scary enough, i’ve lost over 5 pounds so far, this year. goal for this weekend is not to gain it all back.

i need to look over the ToDoList and see what more i can get done tomorrow. it was a lazy day today but work was such a bitch this week.

i need to look over my card reading i did last night and meditate.

Witchcraft Ask, Day 11

Day 11. Do you currently or have you ever had any familiars?

i have a lot of cats…

your pet is not your familiar. your pet can be your familiar, unless they are dead. familiars are otherworldly beings that help you with your magick.

no, i haven’t and i don’t plan on in future.

25%!

i don’t know what has gotten into me. i got 25% of my ToDoList done this weekend. i know that number will go down, as i add more stuff to it this week.

i did meditate last night. i think i need to move onto the next set because i have this one memorized and it’s not helping me. time to read the next chapter of the book and move on.

i am toying with the wild idea of having a paper journal the never sees the light of internet. i’ve had an online journal for almost 20 years now. who am i fooling? it probably will make it to the internet, but not at first.

i need to start writing but i’ve been dedicating my time to cleaning. i need to come up with a schedule where i spend a day a week cleaning one area of the basement to keep stuff up.

if i spend all of January cleaning and getting everything in order, i will have 11 months for myself.

lot to think about and lot to do.

Witchcraft Ask, Day 5

Day 5. Do you work with a Pantheon?

no. as i said yesterday, goal for this year is to find at least some higher power and we will see what happens from there.

good as i could

today was good, or as good as it could be.

me and my uterus were not getting along today but even with all that, i still got my bedroom cleaned out and my closet done.

i was surprised that i got my closet done. tomorrow i hope to get my vanity done and then maybe take out a box or 6 and then get pj’s sorted out and then the other closet and dude, done!

wow. is it that easy to get everything done? and then my basement will be clean? i’m suddenly scared of all of this.

and tonight, i need to start meditating. i did a card reading that said i need to so, i really need to get on the ball about that. 

Witchcraft Ask, Day 4

Day 4. Do you have a Patron God/dess?

i do not have one yet. that is a goal of 2020, find someone.

1st week down

ok. so, kinda got the 1st week out of the way and i am just avoiding all the news because everything is on fire and i don’t want to know about it.

i hope to start doing things tomorrow. i want to get my room cleaned out and i want to meditate.

and get all the trash out. Matthew was here and there are cans everywhere.

we did see the Star Wars. i hated it. it only makes me want to be better as a writer.

i should go to bed.

mind/body/soul

written on Christmas, 2019

The goals of 2020 are to focus on mind/body/soul. Everything is being boiled down to that.

Mind

Reading: the goal of this year is to read more. I am on goodreads and it gave me the push I needed to read more. I want to read 8 books this year, one more than last year.

Writing: Vain goal of 50,000 words, across all the works, not including blog post. I just want to get words down on paper and write some stories out.

Blogging: Right now, I want to get 239 blog posts by the end of the year. I got some prompted ones coming but I want to post at least once for every day that I have off. It’s a high goal but I think if I just sit down and make myself do it, I will hit that goal.

Body

Before I get to my goals, there is some shit I need to unpack. 

The last year, I started reading and following a lot of different people who are in the body-positive movement, fat people. It’s been, odd for me. It made me feel that I am a skinny fat because I am not a super fat and the fact that I want to lose weight for my own version of health makes me feel bad because losing weight doesn’t equal healthy and I can be fat and be healthy and gods! 

I am not happy with what has happened to my body this past year. I understand that losing weight won’t make me any healthier or unhealthier than I am now. It was also brought to my attention that as much as this will change my body, it might change my mental health and my spiritual health so, let’s do this.

Weight Loss: I have to goal of losing 10% of my weight by the end of the year.

Steps: High hopes of getting my 10,000 steps in each day or at least making that a weekly average.

Working Out: I want to get the ab lounger here in the basement and start using it. I will start my walks. And there is also the vainness of finding some workout videos out there on the internets and trying that.

Lose It: And yes, there’s an app for that. I need to start using it, every day.

Soul

Witchcraft: I want to celebrate every full moon. I want to work on celebrating every new moon. I need to redo my Book of Shadows. I need to start to meditate, I miss doing that. And the big thing, find a Higher Power. I feel that I am just floating along and my religion is failing due to not having anyone to worship. I want to find someone.

Tarot: I think I am getting into the groove of being an Instagram tarot person. This year, I want to take it up a notch. I want to get more clients and start making more money off my readings. I also keep toying around with the idea of my own business website but I need a better ground to stand on for that to happen. I need to start a tarot notebook and flesh out some other ideas.

Crafting: Ha! This is my list of all my projects I want to get done by the end of the year and gods help me if I add anymore!

• Afghan
• Incense Box
• Pentacle
• Printer Cover
• The Willendorf Venus
• Witch’s Cabinet

And that’s it. That’s the mindset for 2020.

Let’s do this.
