i think that sometimes the best thing that you can do is remind yourself that there are beaches. lakes, rivers, and ponds. there are forests. little woods and meadows. there are canyons. gullies and mountain cliffs. there are rainy days. dry spells and scorching blue skies. that the world turns. changes as much as it repeats. that feeling slow today won't stop tomorrow's high tide. won't make july's blackberries any less ripe
friendly reminder that you don't need expensive stuff to practice witchcraft. i know most of us are drawn to the witchy aesthetic we see in different pictures and videos but we shouldn't be blinded by the capitalistic image of witchcraft.
it's okay to use the old jars you have at home instead of getting brand new ones. it's okay to use local plants and herbs you have growing somewhere near your place instead of ordering a bunch of expensive plants from other countries. it's okay if you can't have a big altar at home. you don't need 300 different crystals just because they look pretty. witchcraft should be more about the connection to the earth and the universe and feeling that magick instead of the things that just seem aesthetically pleasing. if you feel more magical energy coming from the rock you found on the ground rather than the expensive crystal you got at the store you should trust your feelings and intuition. and if a certain part of practicing witchcraft feels wrong to you you can skip it.
your intentions are always above the rituals and the tools you use. without the right intentions and the conviction behind them they don't really mean anything. so it really doesn't matter if you spend $5 or $500 or if you get something for free. please focus more on feeling the magick instead of just buying it.
