let’s do it, 3 blogs post in 3 days!
i want to talk about crocheting.
with all the cleaning that i am doing, i am unearthing crochet projects i had abandoned.
i got 4 Works In Progress (WIPS): a bag for an oracle deck, an altar cloth, an afghan, and a poncho. and then i have 2 more ideas: a bag for my new tarot deck and a tablecloth for my coffee table.
i know if i sit and work on it, i can get the oracle bag and altar cloth done in a week. i need to sort out the poncho (i found ALL my hooks and need to kinda start all over on it…) and the afghan to boot.
i know the afghan needs to be reorganized to make sure i’m making it right. after that, we are off on it.
the poncho, maybe 3rd time is the charm. i found all my hooks so i know which one i want to work with and just start all over. this time, keep track of my rows better.
the bag for my tarot deck, i don’t know what color to use. nothing is coming to mind but, i really haven’t work with the deck so maybe next month when i do, a color will come to me.
the tablecloth, i think i know the yarn i want to use and i think i have a pattern for it.
just need to sit and work some yarn out.
hitting it 2 days in a row!
i want to talk about the ideal of "Unfucking Your Habitat”.
Dorothy Morrison wrote in Utterly Wicked: Hexes, Curses, and Other Unsavory Notions that part of not feeling like you yourself are not cursed is cleaning your own home space. and while there is some magickal ways to clean your space, let’s talk about PHYSICALLY cleaning your space.
i am the worst at that concept. i never had my own space till just in the last few years, to keep the way i want, and have space for all my stuff and for it to be clean. what is a non-binary to do?
i found something. i found "Unfucking Your Habitat”. it just changed the way i look at cleaning.
the biggest takeaway from this “system” is the idea of 20/10: work for 20 minutes, break for 10 minutes.
and with having weeks of feeling non-human, reading about cleaning your space to uncurse yourself, i decided i can manage to do at least 20 minutes of cleaning after working all day.
motherfuckers.
i started on Monday and shit that was just a mess got done in 20 minutes. i don’t know if i can’t covert how long it takes to clean stuff that i’m just amazed how much one can do in 20 minutes.
i read the first book and have the 2nd book on my wish list. as for this cleaning as an uncursing myself, i haven’t felt it yet. there is some magick i want to work on the next full moon and i’m hoping that all this will clear out the blars and bring in some light.
if anything, this place needs a good scrubbing.
i spend $60 on herbs last night and supported another oracle deck on Kickstarter today. i have big plans for the next full moon after reading Utterly Wicked: Hexes, Curses, and Other Unsavory Notions by Dorothy Morrison.
i am really getting my witch on.
and that’s not including the wild plans i have with for the summer with my cards.
summer, if it every get here. the weather this past few weekish is not god for me. i’m falling into an opposite of my version of SAD that happens in the fall. instead of dying for it to cool off, i’m dying for it to warm the freak up. the heat is still on, i still got my jeans on at work, and the electric blanket is on and running on my bed.
so now i’m off to do a 20 minute clean up of the basement so i can shower and drink the night away.
i might be starting to feel more human…
