Equinoxes are an invitation to reassess and re-balance; the Autumn Equinox especially prompts us to let go of what no longer works. My addiction to productivity led to a "crash" which made this deeply important truth clear to me. buff.ly/T5lT3Yi #Pagan #MentalHealth #WitchSky

Sometimes the act of harvesting is also a form of sowing. What you release can become a fertilizing soil to nurture future harvests. What you reap (consequences and successes alike) can transform into baggage you must release. Letting go is an act of faith and courage. #Mabon #WitchSky #Pagan

This is why it is so important to be a visible example (where and when safe) of what we are truly like. Why unpacking and processing your own wounds (esp. religious) is so impactful. And why community building is critical right now. Fight back with light. /|\ #Pagan #WitchSky #EndHate

In so many ways, I have sought control over understanding. Even the way I sit is a battle against myself to do it "right" or somehow perfectly. Burnout was clearly inevitable. Letting this go is a challenge. For now I will watch and be curious. #Burnout #Healing #ChronicFatigue #MentalHealth

"Perhaps you could do better–but “better” isn’t objective. It should be measured by your own yardstick of what you truly value." - Frank James #quotes #wisdom #MentalHealth

We always have a choice. It may be small or the potential outcomes may seem all bad, but there is still a choice. Our POVs, our actions, and even our reactions can all be chosen. Taking the reins is as challenging as it is rewarding. buff.ly/ObYwq5w #WitchSky #MentalHealth #Mindful #Healing

The way we all talk about AI reminds me when we joked about Google being our new god; something beneath that joke bothered me though... and last I realized why. And then my muse demanded I write it down: buff.ly/dMg5zD6

My work with Hekate has been about roots as I process old wounds to work my way out of depression, towards healthy anger, and now it seems into the domain of forgiveness. Seems like She is calling on us to do deep inner work and transform US culture: buff.ly/HOTsSyz

Feeling “empty” isn’t just a mood — it’s a measurable psychological state called anhedonia. Studies show it’s linked to reduced activity in the brain’s reward system (ventral striatum). The good news? Small doses of novelty, social connection, and movement can start to re-tune the system.

Every injury, physical or emotional, is an invitation. Get curious about the lesson, insight, or strength that could be hidden in it, and you unlock new power or wisdom. Lessons from Hekate. /|\ #Growth #Hekate #WitchSky #Healing #MentalHealth #Pagan

Once I learned how to sit with my fear, there was nothing I couldn't do, so long as I truly wanted to. #Inspirational #ShadowWork #Healing #EmotionalGrowth #TraumaHealing

"Safety is a very expensive illusion." - Julia Cameron in 'The Artist's Way' Hekate calls us into shadows and depths. When we allow fear to be, rather than to srop us, we can begin to discover gold. /|\ #Pagan #Create #Writer #ShadowWork #Healing #Hekate #WitchSky

Maybe "home" is a verb. Maybe it isn't a place or a person you find, but a relationship you cultivate with a place, a person, or within yourself. /|\ #Pagan #MentalHealth #Healing #Reflections

Every coin has two sides; what you love most about someone/yourself is tied to what you'll most dislike. The traits may seem opposite or unrelated, but look deeply and the connection is clear and direct. #Mindful #Healing #ShadowWork

Owning anger lights a torch which carves a path out of depression's darkest caverns. Approaching the light of day once more, this work shifts into forgiveness. It never gets easier, but the rewards are very worth the struggle, and Hekate is a wise guide. /|\ #Healing #Hekate #Pagan #WitchSky

Words are magick; they hold power and can be used to shape or direct subtle and profound forces. The more deeply you dive into a word, or more carefully you notice the ones you use (both internally and out loud) the more power you can wield. /|\ #Pagan #Magick #WitchSky #Writer #Linguistics

If you chase butterflies, they fly away. Hold them too tightly, and they die. Cultivate a beautiful, nourishing garden, and allow them to come. Even if no butterflies come, you will still have a beautiful garden. /|\ #Mindful #MentalHealth #SelfCare #Pagan

I do wish thoughtful people outnumbered fearful ones. What an amazing world we could have.

Listening. Learn to listen. To yourself, to others, to the plants, to the sky, to each drop of water. Listen. And be still.

Wind shifts and trees speak in a hush and rush, warning me it is time. The season is turning. The gates creak open and tides turn. Breathe in; feel the electric charge. Breathe out; fall into the mother's embrace. It is in darkness we are forged; we are born into the light. #Hekate #Lughnasad

We are flowers plucked from the soil. Cut off, struggling to survive on water alone, as we're stuck into pretty glass cages. Break free. Refind your roots. /|\ #Hekate #Pagan #Lughnasadh #Lammas #Sabbat #MentalHealth #BlackOutTheSystem

Hekate has been showing up more for me since this past full moon. The season of harvest and inner work is upon us, and she knows I am ready for the next step. #Pagan #HealingJourney #Hekate #ShadowWork #Lughnasadh #Lammas #August

I often forget trauma anniversaries until the insomnia hits and triggers or depression start ramping up seemingly for no reason. The urge to fix and control symptoms screams at me, but that only makes things worse. This time, I am remaining soft. Curious. Caring. #SelfCare #Trauma #Healing

Sometimes I just stand outside in my yard or a random park/corner and be. When breaking my addiction to nicotine, I realized half of it was just an excuse to go outside. Learning about my ADHD confirmed this deep need to just be and the power of being in nature. #MentalHealth #TouchGrass

Mindlessly reaching for more of something (chips, scrolling, etc.) is a form of addiction. Addiction is a way of treating a deeper issue. The chips lack nutrients, so your hunger remains. Social media lacks true connection, so the loneliness remains. #MentalHealth #SelfCare #BlackOutTheSystem

Nothing in life is certain except the ending. The only constant is change, but we work very hard at building and believing in the illusion of stability and predictability. If we are brave enough, we can face this and ride the waves of change. #momentomori #mindful #mentalhealth

Mid-meditation, I opened my eyes to see a giant house spider on the wall, up near the ceiling. I watched, thinking of my work with Hekate the night before. When they came to the corner, the journey got tricky. The spider struggled to find a grip on the new wall. Then suddenly seized. 🧵1/3

If it is still bothering you, there's something there waiting for you to discover. Divination may help make the lesson, wound, or insight more clear. #Mindful #InnerWork #HealingJourney #WitchSky

As the moon and sun begin to wane, I find myself drawn back within, seeing baggage to release and seeking a new giant to face. At the full moon, Hekate called and my rune reading outlined a deeper course. Last night, I consented. /|\ #Pagan #WitchSky #FullMoon #Lughnasadh #Hekate #InnerWork

I love that you can’t make resonant experiences happen intentionally. They are inherently anti-capitalist. If you try and force them, or create them they slip away. Resonance only happens when we let go of control and let the world sing to us. #pagansky #witchsky #witchmadness #magick #ritual

Every time I bake my own bread, I am both connecting to Brigid and rejecting the BS that is our late-stage/post capitalism BS world. Bonus: I've also noticed my health is improving. #Pagan #Brigid #Bread #Health #Rebel

A few ways to rebel against the messed up system we find ourselves in: 1. Get a library card and go there first for resources. 2. Rest, guilt free and without judgement. 3. Prioritize selfcare over productivity. 4. Prioritize time connecting with people or enjoying a moment. #BeTheChange #USA

You can get witchcraft books from the library. You can pick witchcraft materials that grow in your backyard or garden. You can find guided meditations on streaming platforms. Witchcraft can be virtually free if you're willing to get creative! #WitchSky

I am definitely going to check this book out as soon as I can find a copy (sadly my local library does not have it yet). #BookTok #WitchSky #History #Capitalism

Sometimes we just need to make space and be seen or connect to something deeper and more primal than daily cares. This is an excellent idea - a way to slow down and open up to what's stirring beneath your surface. #WitchSky #Pagan #MentalHealth #SelfCare

Just because an experience is "in your head" does not make it any less real. If you've experienced it (an emotion, thought, physical sensation, etc.) and it had an impact, then it's important, valid, and "real" for all practical purposes. And it's where magick happens. #MentalHealth #Valid #Pagan
