When I was a little girl, I had a little witch hat. It was made of felt, probably from a Halloween costume or something, but I loved it. I remember running up and down in the street outside my house, autumn breeze in my hair, pretending I was a witch flying on a broomstick.

Now I sit here at 25 and I realize I am the witch I wanted to be when I was a little girl, despite all the things I’m not. I somehow managed to become what I wanted to be when I grew up, and I didn’t even try to. 🖤

I don’t know who needs to hear this but having doubts about your practice is totally normal and actually beneficial.

Questioning everything is intelligence.

Current read: Nonbinary by Genesis P-Orridge.

I can't remember who it was, but early on in my witchcraft journey I was told, "You know you're an advanced practitioner when you don't feel the need to consult books for every single thing." Don't get me wrong -- I still have a Witchcraft TBR concerning subjects I don't know much about yet, but for the most part I'm comfortable with my practice and have found a system that works for me.

That said, Genesis's memoir is reading like pure magick. Halfway through and they've only sprinkled in references to the occult, but they've found a way to infuse inspiration into the words. I'm reminded of Kerli's early days, when she posted a vlog to YouTube and said something to the effect of, "Sheep are followers... Don't be a sheep. Be a lion. Walk alone." It may be trite, but that quote reignited my connection to spirituality. It was the light and fluffy kind, and I don't regret that part of my journey, but witchcraft unlocked the concept of shadow work and the ~darker~ aspect of spirit, helping me to marry the two "halves." Everything else I'm learning along the way is icing on the cake.

Sad that Genesis is no longer walking this earth; glad that they've mastered the craft of having something as "mundane" as their life story end up being so sublime. ART MAGICK, INDEED.

To the Gods lost to time

We may have no way of knowing your name, but we do know you. We know you existed.

We may have no way of knowing what purpose you served in your pantheon, but we appreciate the work that you did, and the work you continue to do.

You may be older than what we think of as the first civilizations, you may be older than evolution, but thank you for being with our ancestors.

Thank you for holding their hands, teaching them how to hunt, which plants were edible, how to walk, how to develop.

It's because of you that humanity exists in the way we know today.

I'm sorry you've been lost to time.
