There is so much power in being a witch โคต๏ธ
Power within yourself. Within the community. A sovereign magic within us that connects us to the divine- whatever you think the divine is.
It is the art of channeling the liminal, becoming a vessel for it, becoming a container to let that magic do its work. We are in a constant state of in-between, but this isn't a bad thing.
๐ Each of us works with nature, and it's so beautiful how different our paths are, yet we are all united. The witch who works with demons is just as connected to the witch who spends all day identifying herbs in the forest.
Celebrate our sovereignty together.
Embrace your liminality.
Stand tall in your magic & power.
๐ฎ We are witches. We are priests & priestesses of nature ๐ฎ
And no one can ever take that away from us.
It can be scary, but we as liminal caretakers are so necessary.
Stay true to your work & magic, even if your voice and body shakes.
โจ Accept and honour that magic โจ

So how do you become a great witch? ๐ฎโคต๏ธ
It's simple really: be authentically you.
๐ฟ Be authentic in the way you practice. Stay true to your values and beliefs.
๐ฟ Be humble. We can't be right all the time, even when we do know what we are talking about. It's ok to be wrong.
๐ฟ Be kind. You don't have to like everyone, but that doesn't mean you can't be kind to others and the world around you.
๐ฟ Embrace your shadow. Even the darker parts of you need love and acceptance in order to grow.
๐ฟ Be Respectful. To the world, the trees, other people, yourself. You can show respect without being pushed around and breaking your own boundaries.
When you are authentic, humble, kind, and you give LOVE to yourself, these are all qualities that create a fantastic witch. Heck, these are all qualities that will just improve your life, whether you're a witch or not.
It's not about how many books you've written, how many talks you've done, or how many followers you have. These things are all amazing achievements, don't get me wrong, but becoming a Greta witch starts with your own inner world and how you reflect the inner to the outer.
๐ฎ Follow your own path sweet souls. Do what feels right to you, take advice when you need it, give advice when you authentically can. Build other witches up, stand up for those who need it. Be dedicated to your craft.
This is the secret to being a great witch.
This is how you live an authentic life.
Learn to love and accept yourself, so you can share that with the world and those around you.
๐๏ธ This can be a hard road, but it's so worth it when you actually try.

Do you feel change coming in your craft? โคต๏ธ
As you spend more time traversing your spiritual path as a witch, a conjuror, a shaman, a druid, or anything else, there will come times when you're ready to move on to the next phase of your craft and study.
These times of evolution are incredibly liminal and sacred times, they are boundaries and thresholds of deep realisations, times of completion, and times of rebirth.
Some signs that you are going through these periods of evolution include:
๐ฎ 1. YOU ARE MORE CONFIDENT IN YOUR WITCHCRAFT
- As your knowledge and experience deepens and becomes more layered, you will gain a natural flow of confidence you may not have previously had. You will feel more intune and in sync with your path, which will prepare you for the change ahead.
๐ฎ 2. DEEP SYNCHRONICITIES KEEP HAPPENING
- A tale as old as time really. When your going through your own evolution and you're on the right path for you, it is inevitable that synchronicities will not be far behind you. Keep your eyes, ears, and hearts open, practice healthy discernment, but stay enchanted.
๐ฎ 3. YOU FEEL LIKE SOMETHING 'BIG' IS COMING
- The liminal realms make us more sensitive to change, differences in energies, emotions, and metaphysical beings. In these liminal states we can SENSE the changes, we KNOW something is brewing and coming. You can feel the tides turning as your craft evolves.
๐ฎ 4. YOU'RE READY TO STEP OUT OF YOUR COMFORT ZONE
- As you become more confident and secure on your path, you will naturally feel ready to step out of your comfort zone. It could be something small or something grand, however this manifests is so important and I'm so proud of you! Embrace the unknown and lack of comfort zone to evolve fully.
๐ฎ 5. DOUBTS YOU'VE BEEN HAVING START TO DISSIPATE
- If you're newer on your path, you may be reaching a point where you no longer doubt your witchiness. If you're more of a seasoned practitioner, you might be finding mo
The only person's opinion that matters when it comes to you IS YOU โคต๏ธ
How often have you not done something because you were worried what others would think?
How often have you abandoned an interest out of fear that it doesn't make you look cool?
How often have you stayed silent because you've been scared of what others would say?
๐๐ผโโ๏ธ I know I've done all of these things.
It's ok to admit that, but what people think of you is NONE of your business. And what you do with your own time is no one else's business either.
โจ Don't let the opinions or thoughts of others dictate how you live your life.
Each of our experiences are unique. They are magical. Even if you're not spiritual, you are on a spiritual journey of the self.
Do the things you want to do.
Love the people you want to love.
Do things by yourself.
Capture as many moments as you want to.
Sing from the top of your lungs.
๐ฎ You are magic. You are infinite. Your existence is so special, just because it exists.
Be unapologetically you. Always. Even if your voice and hands shake ๐

Sometimes it's rest, but that can't be the case all of the time ๐โคต๏ธ
I encourage people not to overwork themselves when it comes to witchcraft and spirituality- to take breaks and take a step back if they need to.
๐ธ But it is also important to make sure you're doing the hard work too ๐ธ
There has to be a balance in there.
Sometimes, ritual and ceremony requires weeks of preparation, purging yourself of energies and thoughts and techniques you no longer need.
Sometimes, it requires you to do the hard shadow work, facing your traumas and aspects of yourself you aren't a big fan of.
Sometimes, it requires you to try new paths and avenues to align better with your highest self.
๐ฎ Witchcraft isn't meant to be easy ๐ฎ
It is a journey. A life long journey of self discovery, understanding the many worlds around us, both inner and outer.
It is so, so important not to feel guilty if you aren't practicing much at the moment. We all go through it, but this is a caring reminder to make sure you ARE putting the hard work in to.
๐ฟ When you have that balance there, you reach equilibrium. You align with your highest self and potential.
Have the rest days and weeks when you need them, but face the hard work when it does call to you.
Witchcraft isn't all airy fairy floating in the forest, sometimes it is raw, sweat and tears, primal, stripping you back to your core ๐๐ป

Synchronicities are fun. But they aren't always a thing ๐โคต๏ธ
Sometimes, a coincidence is JUST a coincidence.
Whether you're a witch or you are following another path, synchronicities are likely to come up in your journey. And they are often magical and even a little bit scary at times.
โจ But it is important to know that NOT EVERYTHING IS A SIGN โจ
It's far too easy to start believing every little thing you see or hear has a spiritual meaning. And this can get dangerous.
As a witch or spiritual practitioner, it is your responsibility to start discerning what is real and what isn't.
And look, no one is perfect, we all have experiences where we think something is a sign when it's actually super mundane ๐๐ญ
It's the practice of that discernment that is important.
Signs and synchronicities DO exist, but not at the rate that some people think.
๐ฎ As you follow your path, differentiating gets easier
๐ฎ It's ok to get t wrong sometimes
The spiritual journey is a long, long road. And some aspects of it are going to be mundane. So if you're a newer witch, don't make the mistake of thinking every little thing is a sign.
Sometimes things are just a huge coincidence ๐๐ป

It's not always rituals & dressing pretty โคต๏ธ
Sometimes, witchcraft is staying in bed all day with an actual messy bun because you're drained of energy.
Sometimes, spirituality is not talking all day because your social meter has run out.
Sometimes, it's shutting yourself in your house all day because your anxiety is playing up again and you feel everything too strongly.
Sometimes, it's eating junk food because it's just comforting.
Sometimes, it's doing nothing because you just don't have the capacity for it today.
โจ All of this in moderation is ok โจ
I've noticed that a lot of witches and spiritual folk (myself included) also suffer from mental health issues. And these issues manifest differently for all of us.
I may post videos where I'm frolicking in the woods in pretty outfits, looking happy and having the time of my life.
But more often than not, I'm the second video.
It's natural to need days that are all about doing nothing and recharging. Don't feel guilty for it. You expend a lot of energy when you're spirituality or witchy inclined and mixing that with mental health issues.... It's a lot to deal with.
I see you, I am with you. We are all with you. You are not alone ๐
It's impossible to be happy and energised all the time, if we were, we would just never appreciate it. The full spectrum of human emotions demands to be felt.
