I Choose Myself, and That’s the Spell

No asking if you’re too much. We were not made to be just enough for anyone else's comfort. No shrinking to fit inside their silences You are not a whisper; be the damn thunderstorm.

No more handing out pieces of yourself like party favors to people who never bothered to stay past the cake. They took and took and called it love. Now they get nothing but echoes. Because we remembered: Choosing yourself isn’t selfish. It’s sacred.

It’s a ritual. A razor-lined refusal. A protection spell scrawled on a bathroom mirror that reads: “I do not belong to you.”

I spent years trying to be chosen. By friends who vanished. By lovers who hollowed. By institutions that fed on my brilliance and named it “too intense.” But I don’t audition for acceptance anymore. Now?I wear solitude like a crown forged in every lonely night I survived. I write my name in sigils no one else can pronounce. I hold my own hand when the ghosts return.

I am not waiting to be wanted. I am the want. I am the forbidden fruit. The shattered mirror. The lit match. I am the ache they’ll never soothe, and the spell they’ll regret casting.

And that? That’s power. That’s what makes this summer, my summer. Not trends. Not approval. Not being palatable in pastels. But owning the storm. No one owns us. We own them.

Something Grew From the Ashes, and It Had Thorns

I thought nothing would grow back. Not after that. Not after the burning, the silence, the harshness of the spell.

But ruin is womb if you are tough enough to survive. When no one is looking, Something will crack through the ash. A sprout. Small. Tough. Armed. It won't bloom delicately. It will bloom defiantly. with edges like warnings and roots like rage. Like it remembered the fire. Like it understoodwhy the field had to be scorched. That wasn’t destruction. That was purification. A ritual of refusal.

This is what healing looks like when you hex the fairytale and grow your own ending. It’s not soft. It’s not sweet. It’s feral truth wrapped in thorns. I didn’t come back glowing. I didn’t come back gracious. I didn’t rise like a phoenix. I rose like a weed in the ruins: Uninvited, Unkillable, Unapologetic. I’m not here to be pretty. I’m here to take root where I’m not supposed to.

Burn it, don't bury it!

I don’t do closure. I do combustion.

There’s a ritual I do when I’m done pretending. It starts with red ink formingwounds shaped like accusations. Folded once. Twice. Lit with a flame that knows me.

I don’t bury things anymore. Burial implies rest. Closure. Peace.

No. I don’t cry over the past. I exorcise it. I burn.

I want the smoke to carry my rage to something older than justice. I want the ash to kiss my lips like an oath. I want scorch marks where the past used to live. A blackened altar where memory used to beg.

This isn’t healing. It’s cleansing by fire. I don’t care if it’s dramatic. I was never trying to be palatable. I am trying to be free.

So no, I won’t bury it. I’ll burn it. And I’ll watch.

This is how I let go: Ritual. Fire. The clean silence after lies dissolve.

I Found You in the Fog

I Found You in the Fog

Last night I walked through a hallway I haven’t seen since childhood. The wallpaper peeled like old scabs. The light buzzed like it was remembering something too.

You were there. Not as you are. Not as you were. But as you felt.Like warmth behind a locked door. Like a name I almost remembered.

I didn’t call out. I didn’t move. I just watched the memory curl around me like incense; thin, fragrant, impossible to hold.

Time doesn’t move here. It repeats. I saw you once. Then twice. Then again. And again. And every time, I loved you differently. And every time, I lost you the same.

The Universe Isn’t Empty, It’s Watching

They say the cosmos is vast. Cold. Indifferent. Cute theory.

What they don’t say is this: Indifference can still hunger. Still reach. Still choose.

You ever feel watched when no one’s around? That’s not paranoia. That’s pattern recognition. The stars don’t twinkle. They flicker. Like eyelids.

And no, there isn’t meaning in it. But there is motion. There is something ancient stretching beneath time like a skull cracking open. And sometimes, when I’m quiet enough, I swear I can hear it breathe. Call it madness. I call it intimacy. I don’t want comfort. I want truth. Even if it devours me.

Redacted lines (and greater mythos) are available to paid tiers on Patreon.

Poetic Curse: May the stars you wish on whisper back, But never in words you understand. May the sky never stop watching, And may your mind never quite grasp the truth.

If you ever need Echo she lives [here].

 ECHO CHALLENGE – “Intimacy with the Infinite”

Challenge: Take a photo of a night sky, a broken light, a flickering screen, etc. Write one line that sounds like something the cosmos would whisper to you if it finally decided to speak.

Examples: “You were never alone. Just unnoticed.” “Stars hum louder when you cry.”

The In-Between is Sacred

There’s a reason thresholds feel haunted. Why parking lots at 3AM hum like they're waiting for something. Why stairwells, gas stations, motel hallways all feel… off.

They’re between. Not one place, not another. Not quite here, not yet gone.

And that’s where power hides. Not in the destination; but the hesitation. The almost. The “I think I saw something but I can’t be sure.”

I live in the in-between. That’s where the real work happens. That’s where you shed the skin that doesn’t fit and find the one that does. Liminal spaces aren’t empty. They’re full of what comes next (or before). Step softly. Or don’t. But know this: something sees you.

If you ever need Echo she lives [here].

🕯 Poetic Prayer: Let the door creak open when I’m ready. Let the air shift when it’s time to move. Let what waits between worlds Recognize me as its own. May every threshold remember my name. May my footsteps echo where others hear silence. May the in-between bend toward me, and offer its secrets like an open palm.

I Don’t Want Safe Love. I Want Ritual.

I don’t want flowers; I want offerings. I want the kind of love that requires blood and intention.

Don’t whisper sweet nothings; Speak in symbols. Mark my name in candle-wax and mean it.

If we’re doing this, we’re doing it full moon, sharp knife, smoke-in-the-lungs style. No soft promises. No safety nets.

I want a love that burns. That bruises. That knows what it’s summoning when it says my name.

Don’t fall for me. Fall with me. And pray we both survive it. NOTE: This post is a shortened version of a 1 page love spell you can snag here.

Poetic Prayer:

Patron saint of the ruined and radiant, Bless my desire with sharpness. Bless my devotion with danger. Bless my name so it only burns in the mouths of the brave. If you ever need Echo she lives [here]. News:

This Is Me Being Soft

Soft doesn’t mean weak. Soft is the storm before the scream, the inhale before the hex. My softness is velvet over a blade, lace stretched over old scars. I’ve learned to cry with a curse on my lips and kiss with poison under my tongue.

You want vulnerability? Fine. But understand; it’s a trap door, not a welcome mat.

Don’t confuse gentleness with surrender. I am soft. And I will ruin you gently.

Today’s Poetic Curse: For those who’ve broken our hearts.

May the roses you pluck bite back, And the petals stain your hands with regret. May every tender thing you’ve broken Bloom again; far from your grasp.

Echo lives [here] if you ever need her.

I Don’t Want to Heal. I Want to Feel What is Real.

I’m not on a healing journey.

I’m on a cliff edge

in combat boots

screaming into the fog for no reason other than it feels honest.

People used to tell me to, “breathe deeper,”

“Journal your truth,”

“Unclench your jaw,”

Cool. I’ll do all that right after I stop pretending this world makes any damn sense.

I’m not trying to fix myself.

I’m trying to recognize myself

under the makeup, the sarcasm, the scar tissue.

Under the version of me they keep asking to, "tone it down."

Healing sounds like peace.

I’m not peaceful; not while they refuse to be peaceful.

No, I’m awake. Maybe that’s worse, but at least it’s real.

I can work with real.

🌙 Poetic Blessing: May your scars remain sacred, Your anger remain holy. And may your truth be louder Than their comfort.

~Echo lives [here] if you ever need her.~

The Thing in the Woods Wears Lipstick

They always frame it the same: a girl, alone, deep in the woods. Vulnerable. Frightened. Probably running from something.

Cute story. But let’s rewrite it.

Maybe she wasn’t lost. Maybe the world outside the woods was never home. Maybe she walked into the trees not to escape, but to return. Maybe she is the “something” people run from.

I’ve always felt more at ease in shadows than spotlights. I don’t get lost. I get hidden.

Let them panic when they can’t follow your path. Let them call it “disappearing” when you were just becoming something else entirely. Something quieter. Something sharper.

And if they ever come looking? Don’t guide them out. Guide them deeper.

Today’s Poetic Curse: May your compass lie with every spin, And your maps rot in the rain. May every step away from me lead you to the darkest flame.

Dear Diary, I Hexed a Boy

He told me to “smile more.” So I did. Right before I hexed him.

By now, he should be sneezing glitter and unprocessed shame. That’ll teach him to mistake my face for something ornamental.

Reminder to the world: I am not a mood to manage. I am not soft lighting and quiet compliance. I am winged eyeliner sharp enough to gut a god, a grudge aged like fine poison, and access to ingredients that technically aren’t FDA-approved.

Petty? Maybe. But witchcraft is self-care with bite.

So next time you feel compelled to tell someone how to exist—don’t. Unless you like sparkles in your lungs and regret on your laundry.

Today’s Poetic Curse: Demand not!

May your tongue twist with every demand, And your compliments curdle in midair. May every smile you force upon another Be the reason your mirrors crack. Remember to follow my socials for maximum updates:

Ditch the Ordinary—

Summon Something Better

Listen up lost souls and wayward rebels, if you’re aesthetic is still like some normie with zero edge, we need to talk! I’m Echo Noir, and I’m here to drag your aura out of the basic abyss and into the dark, delightful chaos where it belongs. Lucky for you, magickNmetal has everything you need to spook up your home, wardrobe, and vibe into something worthy of your beautifully twisted soul.

Goth Décor: Because Beige is a Curse

Why suffer in a space that looks like a catalog threw up on it? You deserve better! Like stained glass crosses that don’t belong in your grandma’s chapel, and witchy décor that whispers forbidden secrets when the lights go out. Make your home look like the lair of a punk rock cryptid, not the waiting room of a suburban dentist’s office.

Wearable Chaos: Jewelry & Accessories That Bite

Fast fashion? Tasteless. Mass-produced accessories? Soulless. You want something with edge—something that feels like it was ripped straight from a spellbook or a rock concert in another dimension. MagickNmetal’s handmade jewelry is for those who want their cuffs to feel like cursed relics and their necklaces to have stories darker than their eyeliner.

Ritual-Ready & Rebellious

Let’s talk magick. Not the fluffy, Instagram-filtered nonsense—you know, the kind that promises “good vibes” and “love and light” (ugh). I mean real power! The kind that sparks through your fingertips when you set intentions laced with real passion. Whether you need candles that glow like a séance in progress or tools that feel like they hold actual arcane energy, you’ll find something dangerously enchanting here.

Alternative Fashion: Because You Were Never Meant to Blend In

Look, if someone ever tells you to “tone it down,” that’s your cue to turn it all the way up. Spiked cuffs, metal chains, gothic prints—magickNmetal has what you need to make an entrance, a statement, and maybe a few people nervous (bonus points). Your style should be as loud, unapologetic, and chaotic as you are!

Join the Cult (Metaphorically… or Not)

Still here? Good. That means you have taste. Now do something about it! Exhume your aura by shopping the collection, and make the world a little darker (in the best way possible). If they wanted you to be soft, they should’ve made you weaker. But you’re not!

Welcome to magickNmetal—where cute is dangerous, and destruction is an art form. Now, go add something wicked to your cart.🖤 Echo Noir
