Happy Saturday...

We don't need to perform some enormous magical operation for the day to be magical.

Light one candle with intention. Work a favorite Psalm. Ground and center for a few minutes. Work the Magic Minute. Take a sacred bath. Stand outside and commune with the wind. Chant one incantation and accept it.

Magic doesn't live only in the big workings. Sometimes it's woven quietly into an ordinary day.

What little bit of magic are you doing today?

✨ SOMETHING IS ENOUGH ✨

Blessed be.

✒️ A SIMPLE PEN-AND-INK SPELL

Here's a handwriting spell I've been teaching for years. All you need is a piece of paper and something to write with.

Write down what you desire. Below it, write: I, [your name], accept this or something even better.

Draw a circle around everything. It doesn't have to be perfect—just make sure it's closed and surrounds all the words.

Hide the paper somewhere safe until the next new moon. Once it's hidden, let it go from your mind. Don't check on it or keep wondering if it's working.

At the new moon, retrieve the paper, tear it up, and throw it away. Then let it go from your mind again.

I recently noticed that the four steps can map neatly onto the letters of YHVH:

Yod — Hand: Write it.
He — Window or upraised arms: Hide it and release it from your mind.
Vau — Nail or peg: To finish the spell, tear up the paper and dispose of it, just as sawdust is discarded after a nail is driven into wood.
He — Window or upraised arms: Release it again—this time for good.


Blessed be. #PenAndInkMagic #HandwritingMagic

Sometimes we leave a toxic situation, but the situation doesn't completely leave us.

The relationship may be over. The workplace may be behind us. The conflict may have ended. And yet something of the experience can remain.

Today's Psalm spell is for that aftermath. In Psalm 74: Recover from a Toxic Situation, we'll work with the beautiful truth that a sanctuary may be violated but remains sacred.

What happened does not get to become the permanent ruler of your inner world. Peace can return. Strength can return. Sacred order can be restored.

If this is the magic you need, I hope you'll join me today: https://youtu.be/6mLtzwSTwo0

✨ I RECLAIM MY PEACE ✨

Blessed be.

The waxing crescent is appearing in the evening sky. 🌒

In my tradition, the dark of the Moon is a time of rest. We put our magical work aside for a few days, become quiet, and allow ourselves to renew.

Then the first crescent appears, and we begin again.

So as we begin this new lunar month, I'd love for us to begin a new Community Working together.

🌒 THE SEVEN-DAY MAGIC MINUTE 🌒

For the next seven days, set aside just one minute each day. Choose one desire you'd like magical help with. Place it upon an altar in your mind.

Then, for one minute, breathe naturally while thinking:
BLESSED on the inhale. BE on the exhale. That's all.

One desire. One minute. Seven days. Then see what happens.

Whatever else you decide to work on during this growing Moon, may your magic prosper and your path be blessed.

🌒 THE WORK BEGINS AGAIN 🌒

Blessed be.

IHow are you driving today?

I'm not talking about your car. I'm talking about the vehicle of your mental state.

We're all traveling on the same enormous traffic grid. There are wonderful drivers out there, terrible drivers, frightened drivers, angry drivers, distracted drivers...

But here's the interesting thing: The traffic grid can't decide where you're going. And neither can the other drivers. You still have your own destination.

Your responsibility is to drive well, avoid road rage, and keep driving on the course you've chosen.

Maybe the most useful question isn't: "Why are there so many awful drivers out here?"

Maybe it's: "Where am I driving to?"

Blessed be.

Do you ever have so many things you want to do that you end up doing nothing at all?
It happens in our magical practice, too.

We tell ourselves we should meditate every day, work our Psalms, ground and center, journal, practice affirmations, and build our magical skills. Before long, magic starts to feel like just another overwhelming to-do list.

But what if you didn't have to do everything? What if doing something was enough?
One Psalm. One Magic Minute. One affirmation. One moment of grounding and centering. One small practice you can actually stick to.

That's what we'll be exploring in today's premiere: The Power of Something: Small Steps, Powerful Magic.

In the meantime, I'd love for you to think about this: what is one small magical practice you could do each day for the next seven days?

Don't try to do everything. Just choose something. ❤️

Join me today at 11:00 AM Pacific Time for our premiere.

✨ SOMETHING IS ENOUGH ✨
Blessed be.

Fearless Friday

Join me today for our Fearless Friday livestream (10:15 AM Pacific Time), where we complete three full rounds of the Witch's Rosary. If you can't make it live, you can always watch the restream.

Take a moment to notice if there's anything you've been carrying that you're ready to put down: A worry, an old disappointment, a conversation you keep replaying, something you wish had happened differently.

You don't have to figure it all out today. You can simply decide that you're no longer willing to carry it in the same way. Place it into the hands of the Goddess. Let it go.

And together we affirm:

✨ **IT IS CLEARED** ✨

Blessed be.
