I, too, often found myself yearning for a life outside of my own. Looking at witches on social media with envy as you scroll through hundreds of pictures of ornately put-together altars, elegant vintage tools and cards, and their power and freedom - evident by their successful careers performing intuitive, meaningful, magickal work. 

​

Meanwhile you're procrastinating getting out of bed and getting ready to get to a job that drains your entire cup every single day. You stopped doing all of the things you once loved - reading, drawing, writing, making music, cooking, sewing, crafting - because you don't have time. Each day has become about just getting through the next, until suddenly you realize you're subconsciously numb to everything and everyone around you. 

​

And then the most wonderful thing happens to you: curiosity. So maybe you don't have the big, fancy altar, or the cards, or the crystals, or anything you're "supposed" to have to be a witch. But wow do you have curiosity. If those are "real" witches, you're not sure what you are yet, but you're excited about something! You're interested in studying and learning in a way you haven't felt since those early years before school became another thing you "had to do."

​

So you get a crystal. Then a book. A deck of cards. Another crystal. And when you're online looking for your next book you get stuck. 

​

Where do you begin? What kind of witch are you? Are you a witch? Is it magick or is it in your head? Wait a second, who do you think you are?! What will your friends and family say?! So you get off the web search. You get back on an Instagram scroll. The crystals, cards, and book goes untouched. And you're back to square one. Envy and procrastination. Getting through today just to get to the next.

​

NO.

​

This, here, now, right in this moment: THIS IS YOUR SIGN! You are powerful.

You do have magick. We all do.

 

You are That Witch. 

​

You were just in the wrong neighborhood.
