For the first time in my life I looked at my list of resolutions and it's a list of how to bring more ✨joy✨ into my life instead of how to fix things about myself that I think are broken.

Happy New Year's Eve, especially to those of you who have also been put through the ringer this year. As the sun sets, my house is getting ready for our ritual. It focuses on releasing the bad to Hekate's depths & helping this year's blessings grow and multiply. What are your NYE rituals? #witchsky

Whatcha curled up with tonight? I'm loooooving this one. Lovers of magic books will be delighted 🥰 #booksky

Please tell me I'm not the first Hekatean witch here on #witchsky to recognize the second layer of The Fate of Ophelia. So. Many. Lyrical. References.

The biggest lesson learned this year is that for emotionally healthy people, a request for accountability is not an attack. It's an opportunity to demonstrate growth and show care. If someone isn't there in their journey, that's okay. But that's their internal obstacle, not yours to fix or justify.

Do any of my friends in here know/practice Ancient Greek? I'm starting Attic so that I can better engage with primary sources of interest in their original language. I'd love some buddies to practice with! #historysky #languagesky #ufosky #witchsky #pagansky

Fantasy Friday for all of my #booksky babes tonight. I hope your stories are bringing you happiness and peace ♥️

Breathe in, breathe out.

Happy Stranger Things Day to all who celebrate 🥂

I just sent the letter. THE letter. The one I have needed to send my whole life, the one to protect little girl Katie and adult Katie. I'm proud, but shaky and raw. I could just use some encouragement and love.

I read multiple places that when you start following #Hekate, She will swiftly & mercilessly cut what doesn't serve you from your life, whether you are ready for it or not. Holy hell, was everyone right. I'm mourning, but also feeling very grateful for a deity that has my back. #witchsky #pagansky

Sometimes I am truly astounded by the kindness shown to me by people I've met through #UFO world. I opened some surprise happy mail today to find Cambrian/Triassic fossils! The tarot shelf is their temporary home before I get them mounted & have provenance labels made. 🥰 #booksky #witchsky #ufosky

👇🏼 The first Nazi death camps were not in Germany either. Remember that.

Blessed #Yule, everyone! I hope your hearth fires are lit & your hearts are full. ♥️🌲 #witchsky #pagansky

I think Republicans are overestimating liberals' emotional attachment to Bill Clinton.

Wait - in the light of day, this might actually be a good (and new?!) plot idea for a novel. So I guess this is happening now, fam. I'm writing a book. Think of it as a sci-fi take on a classic Greek myth, with a fun autistic twist. Hopefully it results in more than some really big headaches.🫠

So I randomly wrote 1,000 words of a new book at 2am last night in case you're wondering what mania is like.

As usual, the true history is often way more interesting (with significantly fewer dog whistles) than pseudo-archaeological narratives. Here's a great wrap up from Dr. David Miano, an ancient history PhD who (😱) links to academic papers for every discussion. Enjoy! #historysky #archaelogysky #ufosky

Exactly what you didn't know you needed, courtesy of the amazing folks at @colbertlateshow.bsky.social 🎅🏼. Merry Christmas, you filthy animals.

If I slap up a piece of paper on the wall with my name on it, can it be the Howland-Kennedy Center too?

Trans and gender-diverse friends, I see you, I love you, & I'm here for you - whatever you need.

Imagine driving down a sunny highway. You reach down for a big gulp of your Diet Coke & accidentally mainline a friend's coffee. That absolute, all-encompassing shock & sensory brain freeze you experience, even temporarily losing words? That's what it's like being #autistic in a NT world. 1/3

Biopsy results are officially cancer-free 🥳

Good to know that my nurses in the outpatient surgery center this weekend were officially giving me a WMD anytime I showed pain. 🫠

Anyone else discover Fable this year? Such a fun way to track books you've read & get a cooler "Wrapped" than Spotify 💁🏻‍♀️ #booksky

Right before I passed out under anesthesia this morning, I asked my surgery team if I could keep my uterine polyp in a weird jar for my apothecary shelves to freak people out. They said no, but giggled at my alt suggestion of leaving it on a Republican Congressman's lawn as an act of protest 🫠

Stop gatekeeping where people buy books from. If you can shop at indie shops or @bookshop.org awesome! If you have a @barnesandnoble.com that feels like home, great. If you can't afford the higher price tags & use Amazon, it's okay. You're a reader in today's age. You're doing great. #booksky

Still waiting on the biopsy for double confirmation, but I'm out of surgery and my doctor thinks everything is benign! I could cry happy tears. Y'all are stuck with me for a lot longer!

Tomorrow is surgery day - your prayers, well wishes, and healing thoughts are so appreciated. And especially to my fellow Hekateans, I'd be so grateful for a small offering or prayer to our great Mother, Panopaia, Enodia, Kthonia to guide me through this descent and ascent safely 🙏🏻🗝️🖤 #witchsky

I'm having surgery on Friday to remove a potentially cancerous uterus growth, & I shit you not, my (male) gyno had the audacity to tell me "some women don't need pain meds after". THEY ARE LITERALLY SCRAPING MY ORGAN CLEAN WITH A SCALPEL. I have a feeling men wouldn't say the same about their dicks.

Okay, I caved. I'm officially a Book of the Month club member. Anyone wanna join with me? We can talk about fun books & the first hardcover is only $5 with a free hat. 🥰 #booksky www.mybotm.com/tnk9iscgipt

I just got accepted to a local witchy apothecary's holiday market! So excited to bring Tarot in a Bottle to my San Diego weirdos. 🖤 Those of you who ordered a Winter Solstice box will have them shipped on Monday! Thank you so much for supporting me as I launch my wee lil' witchy biz 🔮

Imagine launching a neurodivergent fellowship and not including alt text in the announcement. Just another group in the long line of people who want to profit off of autistic people without actually giving a shit about them. From Hans Asperger to Palantir, it's Nazis all the way down.

When I die, the first thing I'm doing is finding the help desk where I can sign up to haunt a rich old miserly white man during Christmas time.

All of your support has meant so much! Last call for guaranteed Christmas delivery! 📦 ko-fi.com/tarotinabottle #witchsky #magicalbazaar #pagansky #ufosky #occultsky #craftsky

They still don't know how many people or who was held (or continues to be held) in the horrific outdoor prison disgustingly called "Alligator Alcatraz". Reading this, I want to throw up.

Nothing makes me feel like a witch quite as much as pulling out my mortar and pestle. Currently grinding up some frankincense and myrrh for candle dressings 🌟 #witchsky

Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (Wars nor Trek), LOTR, or Marvel, Disney Animated or Pixar

Today was just...a really, really hard day.

Just asked the hubs if I can paint a bedroom mural wall à la the Sirius Black family tree tapestry, but with our own ancestors. His only stipulation being able to leave burn marks on family he doesn't like. 💀 I love this man. 🤣♥️

Snagged a goddess encyclopedia (!!) at the best secondhand & antiquarian bookshop in San Diego - Verbatim. 🖤 Nic Cage, from my favorite seat in the city, approves. 👍🏻📚 #booksky #pagansky #witchsky

This is SO ridiculously cool. Never seen anything like it, this is a REALLY unique and special way to get tarot readings, rituals, and more!

If you're someone who watches YouTube channels like History Time or Fall of Civilizations, what else should I watch? I'd also LOVE some good channels about Greek mythology or "Dark" Goddess. 🙏🏻 *Must be video-based, my #AuDHD brain can't handle audio-only pods. #witchsky #historysky #pagansky

Here's a closer view of the bottle portion of my new subscription box!

I love everything about this.

Something I've been grappling with as a #witch lately are the implications of a deity introducing themselves. I didn't believe in deities prior & the one in question is not from my ancestors' pantheon. This brings up so many thoughts and I'd love other pagans to weigh in. 1/2 #witchsky #pagansky

I hit my reading goal for the year yesterday! 24 books, which I think is the most I've read cover to cover in a single year ♥️. We'll see if I'm brave enough for a 2026 goal of 52 next year. 👀 #booksky Final read: Women of Artemis🏹 about the mythology of the Amazons.

Omg this felt so good in my belly I wanted to yelp with glee 🩷
