Craft Update

The last couple months have been difficult. I’ve missed two full moon rituals, have barely meditated or aligned myself at all, and have been stuck in a depressive rut. My gods have been very quiet but very patient as they wait for me to return to myself and our work. I am especially grateful for one guide in particular—a soul I am bound to across timelines. His guidance has solidified the mess my mind has been.

Things may be stagnant at times, and I get in my own way quite often. But one of the most important things my craft has taught me is that my gods, goddesses, and guides will never leave my side. Even when I can’t feel them or when my mind is too loud. They have never left, and they’re always waiting to answer my call.

Reach out to your fellow witches in Saturn’s Return. We need the love.

Have a lovely day—

And stop ignoring the signs!

🖤

Round 4: DC around whole design, 3DC in each corner. The completed rectangle should be exactly half as tall as it is long. When blocking the rectangle, use a ruler to ensure the sides are even! Drawing the rectangle to size on the blocking back first will help you get it exactly even.
