Witchcraft VII

What kind of deities, if any, do I want to honor?

 

Karpo. She is the Greek goddess of fall. I have fallen off the wagon so bad that a goal of this year is to get back into a devotion towards her.

What's It All About?

i am still here. i only wanted to take January “off” and kick off February and then life happens.

i have been slacking. i tried playing Sims 4 and i just don’t care for the game. off chance i went to look to see if they had Sims 2 and they did. all of them for $30.

and down that hole i went, bad.

i am failing with doing The Work and that needs to stop, now. i am not moving forward and that is someone i don’t want to be.

the basement is getting cleaner, i have a job i like that is 1,000 times less stressful, i have a Bear in Rolla that likes me and wants me, i have my wonderful friends in Springfield, i have the fucking best niblings in the world, too many things are positive in my life for me to turn into mush.

so, tonight is the last night of goofing off. i need to buckle up and get to The Work. i need to step up my reading and studying. i need to get going with the cleaning.

is this all going to happen overnight? no. will i have setbacks, in this month alone? yes? can i read one page a day? fuck yes, i can do at least that.

let’s get going.

Witchcraft VI

 

Where do my witchy talents lie?

 

I know tarot is a big part of my practice and power. I also have a way in just creating spells in a hell of a creative way (love spell using a song from Rocky Horror Picture Show).

Witchcraft V

What areas of witchcraft would I like to learn more about?

 

I have plans this year to work on some things with the tarot. I got some, ideas, and I want to try them out.

As for witchcraft as a whole, nothing is really hitting me right now.

Witchcraft IV

Do I want to follow a path that has to do with a little nature, or a lot of nature?

 

My path has the right amount of nature for me.

weekly update

i am 97% done for the month, 9% done for the year, giving me a F.

but i got the crafting shelf organized! fuck yes!

and i got projects unearthed that i need to work on.

and i got an idea what i want to paint. i have small canvas i can try things out on before i get out the big one.

next week i need to work on getting the crafting table cleaned off and then the living room and the altars.

the next step i need to work on is stop the scrolling in bed and start reading more. at minimum, i need to work on that Halloween poem book and the Sylvia Plath book.

and to get on with the working out and meditating.

i am moving forward, in more then one way.

Witchcraft III

What in witchcraft makes me happy?

 

That there is an answer for everything.

Whatever problem I have, I can find/work up a spell to solve it.

And there are so many ways to do witchcraft. I have body scrubs, body sprays, candles, charms. It’s all magic and it all works.

I am not powerless. I can look over my books and think and find an answer for anything.

weekly update

i am 75% done for the month, 7% done for the year, giving me a F.

i am making forward progress on my weekends. i am cleaning and getting stuff done. what i am not doing is stuff during the week. i need to start doing something there.

i need to stop with the “doom scrolling” at night and just start reading in bed. i have too many books (just got 3 this week) and am not reading them. i saw a post where someone had a room floor covered with books they have not read, a foot or more deep.

i don’t want to be that person.

it also means i’m not going to the library for a while.

i also need to get on with working out and meditating.

and working towards the next level of my daily practice.

i did a post on Tumblr today that made me pause. it was about worshiping the Norse deities and said that start with what feels familiar/makes sense to you. after that, “Let your worship change as you develop a stronger interpersonal relationship with (and deeper understanding of) the deity you're venerating. You have complete freedom.”

i have fallen off the worshiping of Karpo that i don’t feel anything anymore. and last year made me rethink of how i ward my home and the adding of the seasonal oracle decks of Seasons of the Witch, i do have a lot of things in my head that i need to sit and work on.

but first, i need to clean this lair of mine.

maybe for Imbolc i can get the witchcraft rolling.

Witchcraft II

How do I see the divine?

 

My view of the divine have changed so much over the years I have been practicing.

Right now, I see the divine in the smallest of thing and the largest of things. Seeing the pray mantis in the fall, that is divine. The moon, that’s the divine. Sunsets and sunrises, all divine.

Nature is the divine for me.

weekly update

i am 53% done with my January goals, 5% done for the year, giving me a F!

and we are only 3 days into this year!

i got my bedroom redone and i love it. there is more space. is it perfect? no but it will get tweaked as the year goes on.

i started on my vanity drawers. gods smack me if i buy another handkerchief.

after i wash them all, put them back into the vanity, i want to clean out the rest of that area. i know there are things i just need to toss and recognize what i have.

my plan is to start on one end of the basement and work my way towards the front. maybe by the end of the month i’ll be done? it would be nice.

i want everything to have a place, and not just a pile. i want to remember where i put things so they are not lost.

i think other parts of my life are in order that i feel the need to get my lair in order. a prim and proper order, and not this pile is the jean pile.

Witchcraft I

What draws me to witchcraft?

 

My first memories of wanting to be a witch was wanting to be the Wicked Witch of the West from The Wizard of Oz. If I had to be green and deal with monkeys, so be it.

It wasn’t till I found the witchcraft section of my small-town library that I discovered that witches were real, and I can learn to cast spells.

And then I found out about a goddess, Catholicism was way over for me.

I have been practicing for over 20 years now and only getting better every day.

Hello 2026.

I start this year a lot happier than I was a year ago. I don’t know what’s to come but I am hopeful and realistic about things.

My Card of the Year is Strength and I had a hell of a thought about it last night. Strength is a woman with a lion, and my brain went Beauty and the Beast.

I am a Beauty and there is a Beast (a bear!) in Rolla.

Me and Izzy had a hell of a chat Monday night. So much was said and so much put my mind at ease.

Strength might have many meanings for me this year and I am excited to see all the levels of it.

There were many things I wanted to do today but, the 100 gummy I took last night took me out, more then I thought. I took it easy, taking care of myself, energy I hope to carry with me all year long.

Tomorrow starts the work.
