Me every month. My witchy style doesn't change by the season, it just blends in better with society in October 🤷‍♀️😁

Every time we hang out, it becomes some sort of circle casting, ritual, or otherwise deeply occult event. Always a great time 😁💜

The New Moon is here! With the New Moon, I like to do a little introspection. An interesting exercise I saw recently was to imagine you were writing a eulogy for yourself, as though you had just died. What would you be remembered for? Who would visit your grave? What would you have changed? Now is the opportunity to take those wishes for change, and make them a reality! 💜

The world has once again become a dangerous place for those of us who don't conform to our assigned gender, and today is a day to remember the peoole we've lost along the way.

We light a candle each for those who lost their battles, whether it was by their own hands or at the hands of another, and we send them our love that they may be remembered with love and compassion. May we see a day where it is safe to be who we are 🩷🤍🩵

Good evening, and welcome to another week of ! Today I'm going to discuss the benefits of unplugging yourself. In a world filled with wireless connections tying us to all the information in the world, it is so important we take the time to step back once in a while and enjoy the moment as we live in it.

📱 Cell Phones! These pieces of technology are nothing short of miracles, allowing us to speak with people around the world, capture pictures anywhere, and find all the information you could ever need right at your fingertips. However, there is such a thing as too much! Being constantly available wears down on our emotional wellbeing, so turning your phone off or even leaving it behind sometimes is a great practice to help disconnect from the network, and reconnect with nature.

🖥 TV/Video Games! Yes, both can be fun ways to pass the time, and no there's nothing wrong with a little electronic entertainment once in a while, but again moderation is key! Drowning yourself in TV or video games is at best wasting away your life when you could be developing yourself, and at worst can lead to health complications. With the world the way it is, it can be tempting to use any means neccesary to escape. Remember though, hiding from it is only going to allow it to get worse. Instead you can work to enact positive change and improve yourself to better handle the stress of the world.

📰 News! While it is certainly not a bad thing to be caught up on current major events, one of the biggest problems people run into in the information age is too much information. Our minds were not meant to process so much all at once, and to make matters worse bad news makes better headlines so we are constantly bombarded by bad news if you allow ourselves to be. Limiting yourself to local news and major world events is a much healthier way to keep up, and if you keep in contact with other people in different areas you can share news worth sharing while avoiding hearing about every child who didn't make it home from school. While these stories are obviously heartbreaking, reading them day in and day out wears on your mind.

How else do you like to unplug? Comment below and we can work together to learn and grow! 💜

There's a few exceptions, but as a whole I'll take nature over people any day 🤷‍♀️

It's me. I am she 🤷‍♀️

Some fantastic news on this front! Shortly after writing up this article I reached out to a few groups who I thought may be interested, and have been in contact with the Bytown Railway Society this past year as we worked together to retell Frank's story.

Yesterday I received word that we are going to print! My article will be in the November-December 2025 Issue of Branchline, the magazine ran by the group. I am so glad I was able to get Frank's story up and visible for people to see. He deserves the recognition, and I am honoured to be able to bring him it.

The last few weeks I've been doing some research on a person who sacrificed himself to save dozens of passengers and workers on two trains. It's a long story that I'll get into on my next post on the subject (which should be soon!), but here is the "Normie-Friendly" article I put together. It gives all the facts without going into the more esoteric details from my experience, and is what I am hoping to get put into a local newspaper or two 😊

Sometimes, life gets busy! That doesn't make you any less of a valid practitioner of your path. While I do perform spellwork often and take walks through the woods just about daily, my grimoire has been too pretty to be tainted by my handwriting. I think it might be time for me to consider digital, at the very least to print them out nicely 😅
