Beltane sits across from Samhain on the wheel, and while it feels like a celebration of sunshine and blooms, it's also a fitting time imo to remember that life comes from death and death from life. That is where my head is at rn: buff.ly/LIggi7C /|\ #Beltane #Pagan #Death #Hekate #TheMorrigan #Grief

I have been listening and learning a lot again lately. Today I found wisdom here: youtu.be/Mva20Z_o-LA?... /|\ #pagan #firstnations #landback #bethechange #story #moon #esbat

Savoring the sunshine today and contemplating how gratitude lists never seem to work for me - they feel forced, hollow, and limiting. I prefer to simply enjoy and say thanks in the moment, the same way I embrace my pain or upset. substack.com/profile/1171... #Spring #Pagan #MentalHealth

I needed this small moment of space to explore my own heart; for anyone else out there feeling rushed, lost, or disconnected from their truth and in doubt of their next steps: substack.com/@asoulcalled... Thanks to Joel Cross for creating this space today ❤️ #MentalHealth #HeartChakrah #Mindful

Runes are not just for divination; in fact, I used them more for spells, meditations, and therapy than anything else for the first 15 years of our relationship. Runes are alive in ways words cannot capture, and they can be powerful companions in healing or growth if you let them. #Heathen #Pagan

The more rooted I become, the less time I spend on screens, and the more quality I find in those moments where I do choose to engage electronically. Regular spiritual and inner self-care opened the door to better balance and alignment with the physical and digital worlds. /|\ #MentalHealth #Pagan

The beauty of Imbolc is how it lights a small flame, kindling hope and warmth, in the depths of a lingering winter. These days can be dark, cold, and challenging. Brigid reminds us to notice the small signs of Spring, and keep our heart's fire burning. /|\ #Pagan #Brigid #Imbolc #BeTheChange

We change society by transmutation - shifting the value system. One person at a time; beginning with ourselves: 1. Know your own values. 2. Recognize the values of your culture, government/systems, and local community. 3. Open dialogue to share, explore, and understand. One. heart. at a time.

Waking up is not the hardest part; staying awake and persisting in your awareness with disciplined practice and deeply rooted compassion is the real challenge. At least in my experience. /|\ #Pagan #WitchSky #MentalHealth #Mindful #Awake #Shamanic

You don't have to have it all figured out and put together. In fact, if you do, I am honestly worried for you. Sure it might be easier to follow the set path, but then what was the point of drawing breath at all? Life is messy. You are singular. Embrace that chaos! #MentalHealth #Mindful

Those who serve The #Morrígan will recognize this call to the front lines. Those who know #Buddha, will see the value of mud in supporting the bloom of a lotus. And children of #Hekate will embrace the sacred decay and underworld work needed right now. substack.com/@angelldeerw... /|\ #Pagan

Unity, embracing the other and standing in solidarity or understanding, threatens dictatorships. Divided we fall. #USA #Pagan #Christian #BeTheChange

Baby WItches and folks considering work with Brigid: A simple (tradition based) way to start would be to light a candle (e.g. a tealight or whatever is handy) for 19 nights. On the 20th night, make time to learn about or be with Brigid as She tends the flame. /|\ #Pagan #Brigid #Imbolc #WitchSky

✨️ Shadow work is a psychological and spiritual practice focused on exploring and integrating the unconscious or repressed aspects of the self. It involves examining those parts of ourselves that we may not readily acknowledge, including negative emotions, hidden desires, and unresolved traumas

✨️ For me personally, this was only possible after doing inner work Releasing copious amounts of supressed fear Those who try to manipulate me with fear (As is the low-consciousness way to control) Find no purchase here That's liberation 🕊 ✨️

I loved it so much, I made two more this year, to have one at my desk for Her "Fire in the Head" as well as one in the kitchen (plus the larger version on my hearth-altar). Molaimis go ler í /|\ #Brigid #Imbolc #Pagan #WitchSky

Another Imbolc has come and gone; my altars have been cleaned and re-concecrated. My home is being deep cleaned and purged as the moon wanes. And I am re-commited to my efforts in planting seeds of change for both my own life and my community. /|\ #Imbolc #BeTheChange #WitchSky #Pagan

Hate capitalism? Normalize: not using hair products (other than essential cleaning), not wearing makeup, DIYing haircuts, clothes, games, and any other form of fun, self-expression, or entertainment. #BeTheChange #WitchSky #AntiCapitalism #USA

It's not that history repeats so much as that lessons must be learned before new things can be experienced.

✨️ Parts/shadow *integration* can't be rushed. The body and subconscious has to process the changes And that just takes time 🕑 Too much too fast isn't the answer, it's counter-productive Sometimes slower is faster ✨️ Credit: the Power Ark

Walking the path begins with seeking. Learning wisdom from it relies on noticing. Again and again you notice. You return to noticing, and the lessons gradually unfold. Patiently, persistently, we grow closer to the divine Truth. /|\ #pagan #spiritual #mindful #withsky

Sometimes we find ourselves striving to be understood or fending off assumptions and misunderstandings. This is a clue that we've given our power away. You know you. You understand you. Those who truly care will come close enough to see and listen long enough to hear. #MentalHealth #Pagan

I am contemplating Fehu again; seeing it from new perspectives and deepening our relationship. The lovely thing about Runes is how many layers of secrets they hold and the cycles we must tread before we can begin to see the next. Happy Woden's Day 🌳 #WitchSky #Runes #Heathen #Odin

A dark anniversary with potent lessons; I like to spend this day reflecting generally. This year, I will add some ceremony and recite a favorite invocation. In the words of Badh: Sith co nem, nem co doman, doman fo nim May there be peace and justice where sought. #Pagan #WitchSky #TheMorrigan

For the seekers, Finding your inner guide and that gift you were meant to bring into this world takes a lot of patience and silence. The guide can only speak when we are truly listening. /|\ #Pagan #WitchSky #MentalHealth #SoulCraft #Shamanic

You cannot ever know how much you've been impacting others. Sometimes complete strangers come across your words or encounter people you unwittingly influenced and walk away changes as well. Being your true, full self is powerful magick. #WitchSky #MentalHealth #lgbt+

Winter Solstice reminds me of lessons learned from grief, shamanic work, druidic practices, and my healing journey all at once. It has become a favorite of mine, but not for being festive; I prefer to quietly sit in the darkness alone /|\ buff.ly/xitJ0KF #Pagan #Yule #Winter #Solstice #depression

Artists use lies to tell the truth and often it is the trickster who conveys the deepest truths (to those who know how to listen). Tonight I revisted one unexpected source of such truth; all is lost before it can be found: open.spotify.com/track/5EeQQ8... #Frozen #Wisdom #MentalHealth #Pagan

Sometimes the mundane leads you to the magickal; other times, the magickal lead to the mundane; in either case, the two are so connected in surprising, subtle, and potent ways. That is the real magick to me. /|\ buff.ly/iL9Yr6B #WitchSky #Pagan #Chakra #Karma #Healing

Rest is a form of magick. Giving yourself permission to pause strengthens both spirit and spellwork. ✨💫 (More on our Blog & YouTube) #WitchSky

Music and witchcraft go hand in hand in my practice. Singing a spell aloud makes all the difference, transforming my intention into a dagger. #witchsky

Paulo Coelho is one of my favorite authors, because he imbues his stories with so much Truth. This one reads like Druidic wisdom /|\ #Brida #PauloCoelho #BookTok #Quote #Pagan

Sometimes we don't have any idea why or any logic behind what drives us. Sometimes we simply feel called or passionate. Sometimes intuition, blind yet certain, guides us forward. Following it has always worked out for the best in my experience. /|\ #Pagan #MentalHealth

Healing has taken me from therapy and psychology into energy and body work then to financial literacy and back again, because everything is connected, and my poor sacral chakra has a lot of wounds to tend. Money, Sex/SA, Trust Issues, and Fear or Trauma reponses all live here. #Healing #Witchsky

Poem by Andrea Gibson (may they rest in peace; with my gratitude for the words and light they left behind). This one reads with such depth and truth for my animist, spiritual self, that I had to share it. /|\ #Pagan #Truth #Poem #God #Animist

To know the divine is as simple as it is challenging, because words are useless distractions at the source. #mindful #meditation

Send your intentions then let life or the universe or the divine (whatever you call it) have its way in response to your choices and requests. It's like a massage - sometimes painful or tense in places, but always healing once you relax into the work. /|\ #witchsky #pagan #karma

Sometimes we don't do the big ritual. We are tired or struggling, so we don't light the candle and draw a circle, we just sit in the dark and reach out towards the divine with our hearts before falling asleep. Sometimes that is the most potent magick. /|\ #pagan #witchsky #SelfCare

Before your next decision, pause. Ask your body: does this feel open or closed? #witchcraft #witchsky #witch #intuitivewitch #intuition #intuitivewitchcraft

"Life is an unending series of complications, so it doesn't make any sense to be surprised by the arrival of the next one." - Sam Harris The trick is to lean in, learn to ride the waves and go with the chaotic storm of life's problems and challenges.

One of the most powerful lessons I have learned from grief and Shadow Work (IFS) has been to embrace endings. Combining that with recapitulation has made for potent and empowering transformations. buff.ly/IjqM8k6 /|\ #witchy #pagan #grief #hekate #themorrigan #loki #MentalHealth #Autumn #ShadowWork

Everything that happens is a message; everything you do is a choice. Exploring these two concepts has empowered me on so many levels and got me through the worst of my disability and mental health struggles. #MentalHealth #WitchSky #Empower #Mindful #Meditation #HealingJourney #Awakening

Courage is being afraid and doing it anyway. It's Latin roots also point to courage as a form heart work or getting in touch with your inner truth and speaking it. To find that courage myself, I had to do a lot of sitting with fear. buff.ly/vIfjP8I #MentalHealth #HealingJourney #courage #InnerWork

Years ago, inspired by the Day of the Dead, I dedicated today to honoring my ancestors and quietly reflecting as a rested post Samhain. Now that I've said goodbye to loved ones, it has also become a time for remembering, self-care, and grief work. #Samhain #Mourning #Grief #Healing #Ancestors

Samhain at last! Around midnight, I'll shift into remembrance and grief work, but today I find myself reflecting on the gifts of fear work: buff.ly/vIfjP8I It was extremely challenging, but the insights made it seriously worth the work. #MentalHealth #Halloween #HealingJourney #Samhain #courage

Tiz the season for introspection and grief work or connecting with and honoring what has come before, so it only feels right to share one of my most used rituals; a mental magick style spell outline you can customize and reuse: buff.ly/wgQcoPd /|\ #WitchSky #Pagan #MentalHealth #Samhain
